Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 190 Teacher

Tsunade knows that Shikamaru is very talented, and she can also imagine that Orochimaru's purpose of injecting a curse seal into him is nothing more than the purpose of destroying Shikamaru's future.

Kakashi Hatake became a Jonin at the age of 12, and Itachi Uchiha became the captain of the Dark Unit at the age of 13.

For many talented ninjas, Shikamaru's current age is a time of rapid progress. After having experienced battles and gained sufficient experience, they can already try to be independent.

Tsunade sighed, although the medicinal liquid injected into his body by Orochimaru would have an impact on his body, if he couldn't make it through, Shikamaru's life would be in danger, but with Tsunade taking care of him, the problem wouldn't be a big deal, and Shikamaru would be worth it in the future worried.

Temporarily withdrawing his attention from Shikamaru, Tsunade began to observe the situation of Akimichi Choji.

Akimichi Choji, who was soaked in blood, made Tsunade's heart tremble, and his hands trembled again uncontrollably, but when Tsunade's gaze fell on Akimichi Choji's surprisingly handsome face, Ben Apparent's hesitant eyes became firm again .

As a medical ninja, Tsunade knew what strength Akimichi Choji relied on to repel Orochimaru when he saw him change from an obese body shape to the same emaciated one he is now.

"Is it worth it to work so hard..." Tsunade smiled wryly, and muttered to himself, but this time his tone was not as sarcastic as when he was in the izakaya.

I don't know when Tsunade's hands stopped trembling, and the pale green light slowly penetrated into Akimichi Choji's chest weakly but firmly.

"We have to go back to Konoha Village." Tsunade said to Uzumaki Naruto without raising his hand, "And we're leaving immediately!"

…………

Jiraiya's injury is not considered serious, even Shizune combined with medicine can be cured, Shikamaru's situation, relying on Tsunade's ability, can also guarantee his life safety.

However, Choji Akimichi's injury can only be treated with certainty by returning to Konoha Village and relying on the complete and sufficient Nara clan medicine storehouse, as well as a large number of manpower and equipment.

Although Naruto Uzumaki was surprised that Tsunade suddenly had a "big change in temperament", he agreed to go back to the village with him, and he was completely different from the trembling and helpless posture before, but he heard that he could heal Jiraiya, Shikamaru, and even Akimichi Ding Ci, still not daring to hold back, obeyed her orders.

By the time Tsunade, Shizune, and Naruto took Shikamaru and other patients out of Baanshu Street and settled in the first small town, 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 was carrying to the local guardian and revealed the identity of the Konoha ninja, the other party did not dare to fart Let them leave. As for the daimyo's accusation after the other party reported it to the fire country daimyo, let's save it after she becomes Hokage in the future.

The reason why they didn't rush back to Konoha Village overnight was because Tsunade and Shizune needed to continue to use medical ninjutsu to alleviate the injuries of Akimichi Choji and Shikamaru, especially the former, and there was no way to rush overnight.Therefore, on the day when Jiraiya woke up, Naruto Uzumaki was sent to return to Konoha Village as soon as possible, to notify the senior management as soon as possible, and to lead a professional medical team to respond.

…………

"How is it?" Jiraiya looked at Tsunade who looked a little tired, and asked aloud.

Uzumaki Naruto has left to seek help from Konoha, but Tsunade will not feel at all relaxed now, and now she is healing Shikamaru's body because of the curse mark on her body.

"You have to wait until his first curse seal erupts before he can use the Seal of Evil." Tsunade had withdrawn his hands from Shikamaru's chest, but after wiping off his sweat with the towel Jiraiya handed over, he replied, "But I'll see soon."

Now Shikamaru's curse seal is constantly exuding an ominous chakra. Although this energy is not as violent and strong as the tailed beast, it is enough to make people, especially ninjas who are extremely sensitive to chakra, feel Not feeling well.

Now that it has begun to come out through the body, it is not too far from the day when Shikamaru was affected by the curse seal for the first time and became abnormal.

"Actually speaking of Shikamaru... I have something to ask you." Jiraiya watched Tsunade carefully wet a clean towel with cold water, then wrung it dry and applied it on Shikamaru's forehead, hesitating said later.

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

Jiraiya pointed at Shikamaru unceremoniously, and said, "I want you to be the teacher of this child!"

Shikamaru, who is falling into a coma, seems to be having some kind of terrible nightmare, with a look of pain and fear mixed on his face, and in the short contact, Tsunade's impression of Shikamaru has always remained as a calm and rational boy, Looking at the comatose Shikamaru at this moment, she couldn't help feeling a little pitiful, even so, when Jiraiya suddenly said that she wanted her to be Shikamaru's teacher, she still asked, "Why?"

"This child is very smart and talented..." Jiraiya thought about Shikamaru's cautiousness and demeanor when he gradually began to tentatively ask himself some knowledge after a period of contact and cultivation of feelings in the middle of the mission. After a little silence, he said, "It's like... the Orochimaru back then."

"..." Tsunade heard Jiraiya's deep words, his pupils shrank, and he turned to look at the unconscious Shikamaru, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiraiya's evaluation is actually not negative. After all, before Orochimaru rebelled against the village, he was a man who was called "a genius rarely seen in decades". Jiraiya, one of Shinobu, recognized Shikamaru's strength and talent.

In Jiraiya's memory, Orochimaru back then was almost the same as Shikamaru, cautious and slightly reserved, but when faced with knowledge, he always inadvertently showed a fanatical temperament, calm and rational personality He is even more praised for having the ability to become a ninja, and Jiraiya can always vaguely 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 secretly get rid of this child?"

"...It's better not to make such a joke!" Jiraiya heard the words, and said with a wry smile: "I just want you to teach him, don't let him take the same path as Orochimaru, especially in the He is still attached to the curse mark."

"Sarutobi-sensei's instruction on Nara Shikamaru's ninja admission is 'he is talented and should be guided correctly by his superiors'." Jiraiya shrugged and said to Tsunade: "I just want to help him find a good one." Superior' only."

"Why don't you be his teacher yourself?" Tsunade raised his slender eyebrows and asked Ziraiya.

"I'm not suitable to teach this kind of students who are too smart." Jiraiya stroked his chin, as if looking for a reason, and said, "They are too smart, they always ask me some embarrassing questions, sometimes they can't answer them, Makes me very embarrassed."

"...What about Minato?" Tsunade asked back.

"There's nothing comparable." Jiraiya waved his hands when he heard the words. Although he tried his best to put on a humble expression, his apprentice was so outstanding. As a teacher, he couldn't help but feel proud: "No one can Comparable to Minato, his ability to understand 'jutsu' is unparalleled, he rarely asks me questions, because he can often find the answers himself, and the biggest help I can give him is my connections."

Although Jiraiya tried his best to conceal it, the pride and complacency in his tone was still evident.

Tsunade first looked at Shikamaru, then at Jiraiya who was complacent, and suddenly chuckled and said, "I'll accept this apprentice!"
