"I'm so envious of Yakumo!"

"That's right, that's Tsunade-sama!"

"Tsunade-sama takes Yakumo as an apprentice, so Yakumo's body should be fine, right?"

When Shinji found Shion on the playground, Shion didn't wait for him with a warm-up exercise as usual, but got together with Sakura, Ino, and Hinata to talk about Yakumo's apprenticeship.

Seeing Shinji coming over, Shion hurriedly stepped up: "Shinji, Shinji, have you heard?" Yakumo has been accepted as a disciple by Tsunade-sama! ”

Shinji nodded: "I heard." ”

Shion asked, "Do you think if I go to Tsunade now, she'll take me as an apprentice?" If I can become a disciple of the 'Three Ninjas', I will definitely become very strong!" ”

Shinji just wanted to answer, but found that Sasuke, who was cultivating alone not far away, seemed to have pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation on his side.

Obviously, Ziyuan's words aroused Zuo Suke's interest, but he was embarrassed to come over, so he pretended to cultivate and eavesdropped on secretly.

Shion sighed to herself, "Hey, Tsunade-sama definitely won't take me as an apprentice!" Yakumo can be favored by Tsunade-sama because she defeated Zuosuke, and I can't beat Zuosuke. ”

Shinji noticed Sasuke not far away, and the corners of his eyes seemed to jump.

Shion suddenly said, "Shinji, I'll tell you a secret!" ”

Shinji casually asked, "What's the secret?" ”

Shion leaned into Shinji's ear and said mysteriously, "Do you know where Naruto has been these days?" ”

Maybe it was because Shion suddenly lowered his voice, and Sasuke leaned in to Shinji's side again, and his ears were erected higher.

Shion whispered, "I saw Naruto when I went to visit Yakumo in the hospital yesterday, and he said that he didn't come to school these days because he was practicing tricks with an uncle!" Do you know who that uncle he is talking about? ”

Zuosuke's eyes wandered, and he quietly moved a step in the direction of Shinji.

"I've secretly inquired!" Shion said like a treasure, "That uncle who helped Naruto cultivate his tricks is Jiraiya-sama who is as famous as Tsunade-sama!" I've also heard that Jiraiya-sama, who is also a 'Three Ninja', may take Naruto as an apprentice! ”

"What?"

Shinji pretended to be an accident.

And Zuosuke, who overheard this, frowned deeply, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

As soon as he came to school today, he heard about Yakumo being accepted as a disciple by Tsunade-sama. At first, he didn't care too much, but after hearing the rumors that Yakumo was favored by Tsunade-sama because he defeated him, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

In his opinion, if it wasn't for Shinji's last shot in yesterday's competition, he would have won it. At most, Yayun took advantage of his unpreparedness and used illusion to plot against him, and it couldn't be regarded as winning him at all!

"Damn!"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

It's just that Yakumo was favored by Tsunade, one of the 'Three Shinobi', as a disciple, after all, Yakumo's performance yesterday was really good.

But even Naruto's stupidity can be favored by Jiraiya, one of the 'three ninjas', he is a little unconvinced: "What am I inferior to them?" ”

......

Konoha Hospital.

Because he has been in cultivation, the news that Tsunade wants to accept himself as an apprentice, Yakumo himself is the last to know.

Shizune smiled while injecting Yakumo with the nutrient solution, "Don't worry, with Tsunade-sama here, your body will definitely be fine!" ”

Yakumo barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Unlike the Kurama clansmen who were full of lights, Yakumo, who learned the news, was actually not as excited as everyone imagined.

Because she had already guessed the real reason why Tsunade had taken her as an apprentice.

"Hmph, those guys in the village must have discovered the red dragon's eye, so they are scrambling to take you as an apprentice!"

also guessed this, as well as Yin Du in Yakumo's spiritual world.

Yakumo said in his heart: "This is terrible, my lord ordered us not to reveal the secret of the red dragon's eye!" ”

Yin Du sneered: "Look at how you explain to adults!" ”

Yakumo became worried.

Yin Du continued: "That Tsunade, I persuaded you to give up being a ninja before, and now I want to accept you as an apprentice, it is clear that he is coveting our red dragon eye, you must not be fooled!" ”

"It's an adult's red dragon's eye!" After correcting a sentence, Yakumo continued, "Of course I know that Tsunade-sama took me as an apprentice because of the red dragon eye. ”

Before, Yakumo hadn't begged Tsunade, but at that time, Tsunade just shook his head, saying that he couldn't do anything about her illness, and persuaded her to give up her dream of becoming a ninja.

And when she was most isolated and helpless, it was the leader who extended a helping hand to her, and it was also the leader who transplanted the red dragon eye to her, so the better the attitude of the people around her now, the more grateful she was to the leader.

Because she knows very well that all these changes are brought about by the leader!

Yakumo was secretly distressed: "What should I do to keep the adult's red dragon eye!" ”

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Tsunade wants to take you as an apprentice?" ”

Yakumo was taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at Shizun beside the bed.

Shizune smiled and asked, "Yakumo, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

"She can't hear it!"

Yakumo, who realized this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was the first time she had been 'directly connected' in front of people, so she was a little uncomfortable.

Then, she adjusted her mentality and said in her heart: "My lord, I also just learned the news. The village seems to have learned about the red dragon's eye, what should I do now? I... I'm afraid I'll lose your red longan! Otherwise, you can get the red dragon eye back! ”

Shinji smiled and said through 'Naobi': "Don't worry, as a person with Tsunade, you shouldn't covet those eyes, you just need to be careful to guard against Danzo!" ”

"What do you mean...?"

Yakumo was stunned, listening to the leader's meaning, it seemed that he recognized her worship Tsunade as a teacher.

"Don't be surprised, becoming a disciple of Tsunade is your first task when you join the Xiao Organization!" After a pause, Shinji continued, "Not only do you have to become her disciple, but you also have to show enough talent to make her recognize you!" ”

Yakumo was a little embarrassed: "Then what should I do if Tsunade-sama wants me to show the red dragon eye?" ”

Shinji said, "Then show her!" You have to do your best to cooperate with her and use her knowledge and power to develop the red dragon's eye! ”

He had already thought that instead of expecting Yakumo to dig deep into the ability of the red dragon's eye, it would be better for Yakumo to use Tsunade's power and the power of the entire Konoha behind Tsunade to help him develop the red dragon's eye.

"Huh!?"

Yakumo was confused.

Shinji continued to command, "In addition, you have to find a way to learn her 'Yin Seal' and 'Strange Power Fist', especially the 'Yin Seal', remember! ”
