Chapter 194: Teacher

Tsunade knew that Shikamaru was very talented, and the purpose of Orochimaru's injection of the curse mark on him, she could also think of nothing more than the purpose of destroying Shikamaru's future.

Kakashi Hachiki became a shinobi at the age of twelve, and Itachi Uchiha became the captain of the dark team at the age of thirteen.

For many talented ninjas, Shikamaru is at an age where he is now at the time of rapid progress, and after having enough experience in combat, he can already try to take charge on his own.

Tsunade sighed, although the liquid medicine injected into his body by Orochimaru will have an impact on his body, if he can't survive, Shikamaru will also be in danger of life, but with Tsunade's care, the problem is not big, and Shikamaru is more worth worrying about in the future.

Temporarily retracting his attention from Shikamaru, Tsunade observed Akido Dingji's condition.

The bloodied Akido Dingji made Tsunade's heart tremble, and his hands trembled again irrepressibly, but when Tsunade's gaze fell on Akido Dingji's surprisingly delicate face, Honxian's hesitant gaze became firm again.

What strength did Akido Dingji rely on to defeat Orochimaru, and Tsunade, as a medical ninja, had already understood when he saw that he had changed from his original fat body to the same emaciated as he is now.

"Is it worth it to work so hard......." Tsunade smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, but this time the tone was not as sarcastic as he had been at the izakaya.

I don't know when Tsunade's hands no longer tremble, and the pale green light slowly penetrated into Akido Dingji's chest weakly but firmly.

"We must go back to Konoha Village." Tsunade said to Naruto Uzumaki without raising his hand, "And it's right away!" ”

…………

Jiraiya's injuries are not serious, even if they are silent with medicine, they can be cured, and Shikamaru's situation, with Tsunade's ability, can also ensure his life safety.

However, Akido Dingji's injuries can only be treated when he returns to Konoha Village and relies on a complete and sufficient arsenal of Nara clans, as well as a large number of manpower and equipment.

Although Naruto Uzumaki was surprised that Tsunade suddenly "changed his temperament", he actually agreed to go back to the village with him, and judged the helpless posture that he had trembled before, but when he heard that he could treat Jiraiya and Shikamaru, and even Akido Dingji, he still didn't dare to listen to her orders without reservation.

By the time Tsunade, Shizune, and Naruto left the short book street with Shikamaru and a few of the sick people and came to the first town to settle down, Jiraiya had already woken up.

Of course, there were still some twists and turns in the process of them leaving the short book street, but when Tsunade showed the Konoha document that Jiraiya brought to the local guardian and revealed the identity of the Konoha ninja, he didn't dare to let them go, and as for the other party's rebuke after reporting to the Daimyo of the Fire Country, then leave it for her to become the Hokage in the future.

The reason why they didn't rush back to Konoha Village overnight was because Tsunade and Shizune also needed to constantly use medical ninjutsu to alleviate the injuries of Akido Dingji and Shikamaru, especially the former, and there was no way to travel overnight. Therefore, on the day of Jiraiya's awakening, Naruto Uzumaki was sent to return to Konoha Village, and Kuài notified the higher-ups and led a professional medical team to respond.

…………

"How?" Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, who was a little tired on his face, and asked out loud.

Naruto Uzumaki had left to seek help from Konoha but Tsunade was not feeling any lighter now, and now she was treating Shikamaru who was unconscious due to the curse mark on her body.

"You have to wait until his first spell seal breaks out before he can use the Evil Sealing Seal." Tsunade had already withdrawn his hands that were pressed on Shikamaru's chest, but after wiping the sweat with the towel that Jiraiya handed over, he replied, "But I'll see soon." ”

Shikamaru's curse mark is now constantly exuding a chakra with an ominous aura, and although this energy is not as tyrannical and strong as the tailed beast, it is enough to make people, especially ninjas who are extremely sensitive to chakra, feel uncomfortable.

Now that he has begun to emerge from his body, it is not far from the day when Shikamaru is affected by the curse mark for the first time and has an abnormality.

"Actually, speaking of Shikamaru ......, I have something I want to ask you for." Jiraiya watched as Tsunade carefully moistened a clean towel with cold water, then wrung it out and applied it to Shikamaru's forehead, and said after hesitation.

"What's the matter?" Tsunade turned his head and looked at Jiraiya with some confusion.

Jiraiya unceremoniously pointed at Shikamaru and said, "I want you to be this child's teacher!" ”

Shikamaru, who was falling into a coma, seemed to be having some kind of terrible nightmare, with a look of pain and fear on his face, and in the short contact, Tsunade's impression of Shikamaru has been staying on a calm and rational teenager, looking at the unconscious Shikamaru at this moment, he can't help but feel a little pity, even so, when Jiraiya suddenly said that he wanted her to become Shikamaru's teacher, she still asked, "Why?" ”

"This kid is very smart and very talented...... Jiraiya thought that Shikamaru was in the middle of the mission, after a period of contact and cultivation of feelings, he gradually began to try to tentatively ask himself about the cautiousness and level of revelation when he asked for some knowledge, and after a little silence, he said: "It's like ......, the Great Snake Pill back then." ”

“……。” Tsunade's pupils shrank when he heard Jiraiya's muffled words, and he turned his head to look at Shikamaru who was unconscious, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiraiya's evaluation is actually not negative, after all, before Orochimaru rebelled in the village, he was a man who was called "a genius rarely seen in decades", and he was praised when he was a teenager, which is actually one of the "three ninjas" Jiraiya's recognition of Shikamaru's strength and talent.

In Jiraiya's memory, Orochimaru back then was almost the same as Shikamaru, cautious and slightly reserved, but once faced with knowledge, he would always inadvertently reveal a fanatical temperament, and his calm and rational character was even more appreciated as having the talent to become a ninja, and Jiraiya could always see that familiar shadow in Shikamaru.

After a while, Tsunade seemed to come back to his senses, and deliberately squeezed Jiraiya and said, "You want me to get rid of this child secretly?" ”

“…… It's better not to make this kind of joke! Hearing this, Jiraiya smiled bitterly and said, "I just want you to teach him, don't let him go down the same path as Orochimaru, especially when he is still under a curse mark." ”

"Sarutobi's Shinobi admission instructions for Nara Shikamaru are 'talented, and they should be correctly guided by their superiors'." Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders and said to Tsunade, "I'm just trying to help him find a good 'superior'." ”

"Why don't you be his teacher yourself?" Tsunade raised a slender eyebrow and asked Jiraiya.

"I'm not suitable for teaching this kind of student who is too smart," Jiraiya stroked his chin, as if looking for a reason, "They are too smart, they always ask me embarrassing questions, and sometimes they can't answer them, which makes me very embarrassed." ”

“…… What about Watergate? Tsunade asked rhetorically.

"There's no comparison." Zilai also waved his hand when he heard this, although he tried his best to make a modest expression, but his apprentice was so outstanding, as a teacher, he inevitably felt honored: "No one can compare to Shuimen, his ability to understand 'art' is incomparable, he rarely asks me questions, because he can often find the answer himself, and the biggest help I can give him is just connections." ”

Although Jiraiya tried his best to hide it, the pride and pride in his tone were still obvious.

Tsunade first looked at Shikamaru, and then at Jiraiya, who looked at him with a smile, and suddenly chuckled and said, "I took this apprentice!" ”
