After finishing this, Tsunade noticed something. In her information, Aoba was the type with a weak body.
But now, it seems wrong.
"Well... not bad!"
Tsunade looked at Aoba and nodded. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was. Her heart suddenly became more at ease. The appearance of this student instantly filled her heart, which had been vacant because of pain.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
After confirming the teacher-student relationship with Aoba, Tsunade was in a good mood. She could see that this student of hers had a lot of secrets, and she planned to understand them deeply.
"I haven't finished my work. I have to ask Captain Eaton for leave first." Aoba said meticulously.
"Let me handle this."
Tsunade nodded, then walked directly towards the compartment. Without saying anything, she pushed open the door.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Just as the compartment's door opened, the sound insulation that was not very good instantly disappeared. One could clearly hear the continuous sounds of intense whipping inside.
At this moment.
Eaton was currently waving the whip in his hand with all his heart and soul all over the little thief's body who spoke rudely.
The little thief cried out in pain.
His mind was about to stop thinking.
Until Tsunade came in.
Only then did the storm of whips stop.
"Tsunade-sama!"
Eaton respectfully looked at Tsunade. He immediately squeezed out a smile and explained, "I saw that Aoba has not finished the interrogation, so I helped him..."
"Aoba has already promised to become my student. I will take him through special training and ask you to give him a leave of absence for a period of time." Tsunade said in a cold voice; her tone was unquestionable and firm, just like a strong woman.
"This is a small matter! No problem! There is no problem at all! Permitted! No matter how long it takes! It doesn't matter even if he doesn't come back!" Eaton nodded repeatedly. He knew very well what kind of status and identity the student of one of Konoha Sannin had. Not to mention a little Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, even Konohagakure's higher-ups had to give him some face.
"Okay,
"I will take him away first." After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned around and left the compartment.
"Sigh..."
After watching Tsunade leave, Eaton let out a sigh of relief. He still felt very strange now, as if he was dreaming.
"Aoba, such an insignificant existence, actually became Tsunade-sama's student. Isn't this like a chicken turning into a phoenix!"
Eaton was very clear that when a Konoha Sannin accepts a student opportunity falls on anyone. If he said no, even if he was not a fool, there was definitely something wrong with them.
There was no doubt that Aoba would accept this matter.
It was a question that could be figured out even if someone thought with his toes.
He was just sighing with emotion.
The situation between people was just so wonderful.
In the morning, he was still bowing as his little subordinate. When he spoke to him in the future, he had to look at his face. He could not be too unscrupulous.
Eaton was not a simple Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain. Not only was he proficient in interrogation techniques, but he was also well-versed in the ways of the world.
Otherwise, he would not have had the contact method to contact Danzo and Akaru.
As Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain.
He knew a lot of inside information.
However, he knew very well what kind of inside information could not be revealed!
He was the one who wanted to climb up. His goal was to get away from Konohagakure Intelligence Division and climb to Anbu's higher position so that he could enter Konoha's upper echelons and stand where the sunlight shone.
It was precisely because of this purpose.
He knew what kind of people he should curry favor with and those he should never offend.
Tsunade was one of the top few existences in his heart.
The granddaughter of the First Hokage!
The student of Third Hokage!
One of the Konoha Sannin!
The world's top medical ninja!
These resounding titles meant that whoever offended Tsunade would not have a good ending.
Of course.
From another perspective.
If Tsunade favored anyone, that person's position would quickly rise in Konohagakure.
Eaton's brain was very active. He now knew very well that he could no longer treat Aoba as an ordinary subordinate. He was Tsunade's student and belonged to the Hokage direct lineage.
"How can I not have such good luck!"
Eaton helplessly muttered to himself. His face revealed a little annoyance. He did not have any dissatisfaction with Aoba, but when people witnessed this kind of lucky moment, they would unconsciously feel envious and jealous.
"Ca... can... can you ask?"
At this time.
The little thief's weak voice sounded.
He felt like he was about to be whipped to death.
Good fellow.
Neither of them asked.
One directly fished when he went to work, and the other even beat him up.
"Oh, you still have the strength to talk?"
Eaton glared at the little thief, and his right hand that was holding the whip suddenly became active again. His joints were faintly suffused with white color, and he waved again.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
When Tsunade brought Aoba out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division, they could clearly hear the sound of whipping coming from the corridor.
The sound was so loud...
It was enough to reflect the strength of the attacker.
...
Tsunade brought Aoba to her residence. As soon as they entered the door, they could smell the smell of alcohol. Inside were messy clothes and food bags that could be seen with the naked eye. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for half a year.
Aoba saw such a scene.
He suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen before.
Some girls looked glamorous on the surface, but their homes looked different.
Aoba glanced at Tsunade's bedroom, and it seemed that she had cleaned it up.
A beautiful woman in a messy old house!
"Aoba, find a place to sit. I'll go get some sake!" Tsunade walked towards the kitchen. She remembered that there was still sake stored in the cabinet. On this day of celebration, she had to have a good drink with her little student.
"That... Tsunade-sensei... I'm still young..." The corners of Aoba's mouth twitched slightly. According to the rules of the ninja world, one could not drink until one reached adulthood.
As expected of Tsunade!
A man and a woman alone in a room, and she actually dared to drink!
But his self-discipline ability was high enough...
If it were someone else.
For example, Jiraya, who was also a Sannin.
He didn't know how many ribs would be broken, so he would not travel to the world, but he could go directly to Konoha hospital for a month.
"What are you talking about? I think you are quite big. You drank sake in Ramen Ichiraku; why can't you drink with me, your Sensei?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Aoba, then took out two bottles of sake from the cabinet.
She then placed the two bottles of sake on the ground.
One on her side.
Then placed one on Aoba's side.
"Come!"
"Accompany your Sensei to drink a bottle!"
"It's been a long time since someone drank with me!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Tsunade broke the mouth of the bottle with one hand and poured a big mouthful into her mouth. The laughter did not sound very happy, but more like a sad smile. It seemed that she thought of something sad.
"Alright."
Aoba looked at Tsunade and suddenly felt an indescribable resonance.
Since Tsunade lost Nawaki and Dan, she was all alone.
Only a quasi-student, Shizune, who was still in the first grade of the Ninja School, was with her. After the new semester began, she would be in the second grade. She was still a child and did not understand Tsunade's troubles.
Jiraiya constantly traveled the ninja world to find the Child of Prophecy, which the Great Toad Sage said.
Looking at the huge Konohagakure.
It seemed that she did not have a single friend.
She can't even find someone she could tell her feelings to when she drinks and chats, and most of the time, she drinks alone at night.
Aoba's feelings in this area were deeper than Tsunade. He hid his heart under a cautious shell and almost never revealed his heart to anyone here.
Of course.
He was not going to talk too much to Tsunade now.
There were some secrets.
He had to be the only one who knew!
However.
From a peaceful modern world to this chaotic ninja world, he would see what others had experienced every time he read memories.
He would feel like he was a stranger in a foreign land.
Aoba picked up the bottle. He was not as violent as Tsunade. He gently unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a big gulp.
In a split second.
A hot feeling flowed from his throat to his stomach as if he had drunk a ball of fire.
It was just such a big mouthful.
Aoba felt a little dizzy.
He could completely return to normal through Sage Body's adjustment mechanism.
But he did not do so!
In Tsunade's house.
He could still temporarily give up on his long-held caution.
He wanted to make himself a little more relaxed.
Immediately after.
Aoba picked up the bottle again and took another big gulp.
For him.
This was also a rare moment of relaxation.
Even in Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House, he only drank a small cup with Teuchi, always being cautious and alert.
After a while.
Tsunade drank a few mouthfuls, and Aoba also drank a few mouthfuls. The two of them drank a few mouthfuls, and no one spoke.
"Aoba."
Tsunade put down the bottle, and her face became rosy. She didn't know why she was a little embarrassed.
"I have a question to ask you. What did you experience in the forest?"
Tsunade seemed to ask casually.
But.
After she said this, her eyes became serious.
Just from this look, it could be seen that she had no intention of letting go of this matter at all...
"Tsunade-sensei, I didn't see it clearly."
Aoba said in a low voice. He didn't tell the truth to Tsunade. The reason was very simple.
He had just met Tsunade not long ago.
In total, it would only take one or two hours.
Tsunade was willing to accept him as her student, which made him very touched and willing to open his heart gradually.
But there was a limit to this!
Aoba could tell Tsunade that there was no problem with his body; he could exercise and learn medical ninjutsu...
However.
There were some secrets.
For the time being, it was not suitable to say!
The person who died that day was Root Boss Danzo's right-hand man Tatsuma.
There were too many things involved.
Aoba was willing to believe that Tsunade would not harm him, but if Tsunade knew about this now, he was not sure what would happen next.
Would Tsunade look for Danzo for revenge?
Who would lose, and who would win?
There was no doubt that the Third Hokage would stand on Danzo's side!
Was he going to let Tsunade become a Konoha defector?
Aoba knew that Tsunade was very strong, but she was definitely not strong enough to fight against Konohagakure alone.
As for the evidence...
That was just a one-sided statement!
The people who really attacked Tsunade that day were all ninjas from Amegakure!
Aoba weighed the pros and cons in just a moment. He felt that Danzo had done too many things. Now, it was far better to let Tsunade not know about it.
It was not too late to take revenge.
Aoba will tell Tsunade the truth at the right time, and she will be willing to help Tsunade complete her revenge and kill Danzo...
But it was definitely not now!
"You didn't see it clearly?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, and her brown eyes flashed with doubt. She vaguely felt that Aoba was hiding something, but she was unsure. After all, she had not checked the battlefield that day. When she went back the next day, there was nothing left.
"Yes, Tsunade-sensei. When I was training in the small forest, I heard the sound and was hit by a black shadow that suddenly came out. Before I could see who that person was, he ran away in a hurry." Aoba began to use his ability to make up stories. He then said with a straight face, "At that time, I speculated that someone was chasing him. Then I heard the sound from the other side of the forest. I saw you running over with blood all over your body from a distance. I was afraid that you would mistake me for it, so I quickly ran away."
"So it was like this..."
After Tsunade patiently listened to Aoba's explanation, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
After all, she had fought those ninjas.
Everyone was a Jonin Ninjas.
They even forced her to use her Yin Seal.
None of them were weak ninjas.
In her opinion, even if Aoba had hidden strength, he would definitely not be a match for any one of them.
There was no way that Aoba would be able to turn his opponent into dregs.
Think about it carefully.
Although it was a little strange.
But it was still reasonable.
"Tsunade-sensei, who are those people?" Aoba did not give Tsunade more time to think and immediately took the initiative to ask.
"They are ninjas from Amegakure. We fought in the Second Ninja World War, so I am very familiar with their fighting style, but..."
When Tsunade said this, her beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp aura, and the momentum of her body seemed to have changed.
"They know that I have hemophobia!"
"This is not information that an Amegakure Ninjas should know!"
"I suspect that someone leaked my information to Hanzo!"
"That's why the Amegakure's Ninjas want to kill me even at the risk of entering Konoha!"
Tsunade said coldly. She was not a fool. At that time, the situation was so sudden that she didn't have much time to think. When she came back to her senses, she had already guessed that Konohagakure had a mole.
It's just that...
She still didn't know.
Who was the mole?
But this mole definitely existed!
"Tsunade-sensei, leave this matter to me to investigate. I'm in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, and I get in touch with all kinds of information every day. One day, I will dig that person out!" Aoba patted his chest and promised.
"Hahahahaha, then I'll leave it to you!" Tsunade's stiff face suddenly melted, revealing a smile again. Combined with her rosy cheeks, she looked very gentle.
The process of changing her face.
Aoba was stunned.
No wonder it was said that a woman changed her face faster than flipping a book...
