Chapter 116: Barbecue and Knowledge
Konoha Yakiniku.
The smoke and aroma of the
barbecue permeated the restaurant, and even the blazing lights seemed covered
with a smoky haze. Today's Konoha Yakiniku was bustling as usual, but today's
customers were a little different—they were all whispering.
"Hey, that's
Tsunade-sama!"
"Yes! It's Tsunade-sama of
the Sannin, a real person! This is the first time I've seen her in person! So
beautiful! And so imposing!"
"You don't know, Tsunade-sama
is known as 'the most beautiful princess in Konoha,' and she's also the
granddaughter of the First Hokage. Her beauty and strength are
impeccable!"
"I'm so lucky today, being
able to eat barbecue at the same restaurant as Tsunade-sama!"
"I feel like meeting
Tsunade-sama today, I can brag about it to my brother for half a year..."
At this moment, Tsunade and Kiba
were sitting in an inconspicuous corner in the innermost part of the
restaurant. Yet, Tsunade's presence was too great. Even in such a hidden spot,
she was still noticed.
In fact, the moment Tsunade walked
in, it caused a sensation. Both ordinary villagers and ninjas were so shocked
they almost stood up, and some even did. Others glanced over from time to time,
their eyes filled with respect and surprise.
Even the owner of the restaurant
gifted them a prime sirloin.
However, Tsunade seemed used to
this. She just thanked the owner when he presented the beef and didn't respond
to the attention for the rest of the time.
At this moment, Tsunade's face was
full of surprise, looking at Kiba devouring the barbecue. He had just set up a
plate of barbecue, and now he had almost finished it. Kiba was still grilling
more meat.
In his hand, there were already
five layers of plates stacked.
Is this appetite really what a seven-year-old child
should have? How can his little stomach hold so much barbecue?
As a Sannin, when Tsunade didn't
gamble, she was still wealthy. Although Kiba ate surprisingly much, she didn't
feel heartache.
After all, Tsunade often lost
hundreds of thousands to millions of ryo, even tens of millions. She hadn't
started gambling since returning to the village, so she had considerable
savings. As for the source of this wealth, it wasn't clear.
However, what was clear was that
no matter how much Kiba ate, Tsunade wouldn't care. She was just amazed at his
appetite.
"You eat so much. Can your
ninja income support your expenses?" Tsunade asked, a slight smile on her
lips, resting her chin in one hand as she watched Kiba eat.
"Ninja income?" Kiba was
startled when he heard this.
"That's right," Tsunade
said. "As a Genin, you will have an independent and fixed income. You
don't know that Genin has income?" she asked.
Kiba swallowed the meat in his
mouth. He really didn't know that ninjas had a regular income. He had always
thought that a Genin's source of income was primarily from missions. Since he
hadn't been doing missions lately, he naturally had no income. However,
according to Tsunade, Genin seemed to have a fixed income, like a monthly
salary.
I didn't know at all...
"Hey... You've been a Genin
for almost two months now. You haven't claimed it yet. Genin income needs to be
collected from the corresponding department," Tsunade said helplessly. She
also told Kiba where to receive it.
Didn't Kushina tell the kid about this?
Kiba nodded repeatedly, feeling a
huge weight lifted off his shoulders. If he had an income, he wouldn't have to
worry about having no money for food! And his savings would be enough to buy a
higher-standard training prop. During this period, his funds would be
sufficient.
Kiba was already planning to
collect his ninja salary tomorrow morning.
"Does Genin earn a lot?"
Kiba asked.
"According to your food
intake, I guess it can barely feed you," Tsunade said with a smile.
When Kiba was eating, he was quite
cute.
This was her thought.
Kiba frowned slightly.
It seems that the issue of money will trouble me for
a long time!
"Oh, these things, you can
take them back and look at them tonight. This is some necessary professional
knowledge I have sorted out," Tsunade said, taking out three scrolls.
"Don't open them now; read them at home."
Kiba took the three scrolls from
Tsunade, each about the thickness of a hand. Is this the necessary professional knowledge?
Doesn't seem to be too much. If I remember these things, there shouldn't be a
big problem.
However, he didn't open them
immediately but put the scrolls away.
"Hurry up and eat. Go back
and rest after eating," Tsunade said.
Kiba nodded and continued to eat
voraciously.
Half an hour later, Kiba said
goodbye to Tsunade, walked back to his cabin, and after showering, boiled some
water. He then returned to his eating spot in the cabin and took out the three
scrolls.
"The next step is to learn
professional knowledge and systematically customize some study plans,"
Kiba said to himself.
With that, Kiba slowly opened one
of the three scrolls.
Then, there was a "bang,"
and a cloud of white mist exploded from the scroll. Almost instinctively, Kiba
leaped back, hitting the wall of the wooden house with a thud.
"Crack!"
The other two scrolls fell to the
ground as the white mist dissipated.
Kiba took a closer look, and the
corner of his mouth twitched slightly. On the table now was a long scroll, the
thickness of a small bowl, slightly smaller.
No way...
Kiba walked back hesitantly and
spread out the large scroll, which was densely written with words and human
figures, carefully depicting the meridians, muscles, and other structures of
the human body.
The font wasn't too small, but it
wasn't too big either. There was absolutely a lot of information written, and
one had to remember that Tsunade's handwriting was the essence.
"Are you kidding! There's so
much... And the diagrams of the human body's muscle tissue and meridians, do I
have to memorize these too?" Kiba murmured.
Then, he subconsciously rubbed his
temples.
Even reading the contents of this
scroll would take quite some time, and there were two more scrolls like this...
Moreover, he wasn't sure if this
was all the professional knowledge he needed to learn. Tsunade had only said
"necessary," not "all." Necessity didn't mean everything.
It was just more important and must be learned.
Seeing the contents of the scroll,
Kiba still felt a big blow in his heart.
It seems unrealistic to memorize so much
professional knowledge in a short period. I was too optimistic. A certain plan
is still needed here.
Moreover, today is only the first day, so don't rush
it. Let's read the contents of the three scrolls first. See if there is any
memory method to quickly memorize and understand.
