Naruto: Starting with Tsunade-san

Tsunade jumped off Mito with a face full of concern and said, "What happened, Grandma Mito? Your face looks pale. Are you okay?"

Mito answered calmly, "It's fine, I'm okay."

Mito looked at Tsunade with an expressive gaze and said, "I hope you won't regret it in the future."

Tsunade tilted her little head, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

Mito didn't want to continue on this sad topic, so she changed the subject: "You've started school recently. Tell me about how things are going at school."

Tsunade said with boredom, "Ninja school? I don't feel there's anything important to talk about."

Tsunade put her hands behind her head, looking uninterested, and said, "Grandma Mito, can I apply to graduate directly?"

The graduation test that students take in the ninja school only includes cloning and transformation techniques, which she had already mastered long ago.

As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she had a unique physical talent and had been trained under the Second Hokage from a young age, so what she could learn in ninja school was limited.

Mito shook her head and said, "Don't say that. At school, there are children your age, and you should have common topics. Some of those children may become your partners in the future."

Entering school for children from large families isn't about learning ninja techniques; it's a political expression and a means of building relationships.

Partners?

Tsunade put her hands behind her head and began to seriously think about this topic.

Tsunade knew that students graduate from school and form three-person teams led by a ninja.

"Is there someone you expect to be your partner?"

"There's someone named Orochimaru who seems good. He is calm, talented, and seems like a reliable partner. Grandma Mito, can you talk to Grandpa Second when I graduate from school to form a team with him?"

Mito said, "That's not possible. We, as village officials, must set an example and not abuse our power. There are people specialized in distributing teams after graduation based on many criteria."

Tsunade grabbed Mito's hand and shook it gently: "What's the harm in it? Just this once."

Mito put on a serious face and said, "Even once is not allowed. If you want, talk to Grandpa Second and ask for his approval."

Tsunade wondered with fear, "Okay then, I won't bother him..."

Grandpa Second always seemed serious and scary, unlike Grandpa First, who was friendly, so she was a little afraid of him.

Mito smiled and continued: "I heard there's a child from the Uchiha clan in your class, right?"

As the wife of the First Hokage, Mito was interested in the Uchiha clan, which had a deep history with the Senju clan. This generation of the Uchiha was especially notable.

Their parents possessed different bloodline abilities. If this child inherited both abilities, his future would be limitless.

Mito had lived since the war era and rarely saw a ninja with two bloodline abilities, and everyone who had them was a powerful ninja.

Countries once tried to create ninjas with two bloodline abilities but found it impossible.

Ninjas with one bloodline ability were rare but could be produced in large quantities if desired.

Through extensive breeding and reproduction, large clans could be formed.

But ninjas with two bloodline abilities were difficult. People with bloodline abilities were often proud and didn't accept random partners.

Additionally, there were genetic problems. Often, children were born with health issues or didn't inherit either of the bloodline abilities.

Therefore, having a ninja with two bloodline abilities was rare.

Mito hoped that Aokiji could inherit his mother's ice ability, and then he could establish a clan in Konoha with this bloodline ability.

Tsunade answered, "Yes, there's someone named Tōshirō from the Uchiha clan."

A look of strong dislike appeared on Tsunade's face.

Mito sensed that Tsunade didn't like Aokiji and said, "It seems you don't like him."

Tsunade shook her head: "I don't hate him, but I can't stand seeing him. He has great talent but doesn't use it and spends his day sleeping."

Mito said, "Maybe he has special reasons."

Mito knew about Tōshirō.

People believed that the Senju clan thought love was the true strength, while the Uchiha clan thought ninjutsu was the strength, but this wasn't true.

No one loved as deeply as the Uchiha. They usually repressed their emotions, but when they understood love, they liberated themselves and gained strength surpassing the Senju clan.

But this love also carried danger.

Because they knew love, when they lost it, it was replaced by hatred, causing a change in their eyes and the emergence of the Sharingan.

So when his grandmother, whom he depended on since he was young, died, Tōshirō's personality changed, and he started sleeping all day to numb himself.

Tsunade, laughing, said: "Special reasons? That's funny."

She didn't believe Aokiji had any special reason.

Then she added: "I don't know what his reasons are, but I know that besides sleeping during lessons, he also watches strange things at night."

Mito was surprised and said: "Strange things?"

Tsunade answered hesitantly: "Things like... pornographic books."

Mito:...

Tsunade, clenching her fist, said: "In the last shuriken throwing test, I lost to someone like that. It's a disgrace to the Senju clan. I'll take revenge next time."

Mito felt confused. What? Sleeping to numb oneself made sense, but watching pornographic books?

This isn't numbing; this is deterioration. One can't imagine how his grandmother would feel in the afterlife knowing her grandson had deteriorated to this extent.

...

After visiting his ancestors' shrine, Tōshirō was on his way back, thinking about one thing.

Did his grandmother die in battle, or did someone from the village kill her?

The identity of the Will of Fire: friendship and bonds, union and love, where the fire burns and doesn't go out, for peace.

The truth of the Will of Fire: killing colleagues, traditional teacher killing, brainwashing, annihilation of families, the ultimate leader of peace, and the power of speech.

If Tōshirō followed the original manga story as if it were a children's story, he would have ended up sold without knowing it.

One shouldn't intend to harm others, but one should be cautious.

Before he grew and became strong, he had to exploit his laziness to hide his true self.

While walking, he heard a familiar voice: "You're too slow."

Tōshirō looked up and saw the white-haired boy in front of him and said: "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Jiraiya, smiling, said: "Nothing, I just wanted to apologize."

Jiraiya handed Tōshirō a black bag and said: "The last time caused a misunderstanding for you, so I came to apologize."

Tōshirō asked: "What's this?"

Tōshirō took the bag and found it heavy.

Jiraiya, smiling, said: "Something good."

Tōshirō looked at Jiraiya carefully, then opened the bag and saw what was inside, and his face turned angry.

Jiraiya laughed and said: "Did you like it?"

Tōshirō returned the bag to Jiraiya angrily and said: "Take this, I don't want it."

Jiraiya was surprised and said: "Why?"

Tōshirō said angrily: "This thing will cause me more trouble."

Jiraiya said: "If you don't take it, I'll feel guilty."

Tōshirō said angrily: "Get away from me!"

Tōshirō and Jiraiya began to argue about the bag, causing its contents to fall on the ground.

Tōshirō was surprised and hurried to collect the scattered books on the ground. If someone saw them, it would cause him great trouble.

While he was collecting the books, he saw two white legs in front of him. He looked up slowly and saw a beautiful girl who was Tsunade.

Tsunade bent down and picked up one of the books that contained pictures of provocative women. She opened the book a little and blushed.

Tōshirō hurriedly said: "These aren't my books."

Tsunade looked at him angrily and said: "Pervert!"

Tōshirō left the situation with blackened eyes, looking at Jiraiya, who was standing with a smile and interest.
