Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 127 Tsunade Gives Money

Looking at Tsunade's actions and recalling her behavior in the Hokage's office, Qiu Shui suddenly felt that she seemed to have come prepared and had a secret plan to extort money.

Xiaochun, who had just moved to another room, picked up the paper and read it line by line.

Her expression remained unchanged, but judging from the length of time she looked at the money, she was clearly carefully reviewing each expense.

After about five minutes, she put down the list and handed it to Mitokado Yan, indicating that he should check it.

Mitomon Yan took it and looked at it for almost five minutes.

"Irrelevant inflammation, is there a problem?" Koharu asked.

"No problem," Mitokado Homura said.

Although he noticed that he didn't need that many of the medicinal herbs, and that the prices were a little too high, he didn't say anything.

He was a disciple of the Second Hokage, an advisor to the Hokage, and the leader of the Mito clan. He held a prestigious position in the village, but compared to Tsunade, he was far inferior in both strength and background.

Just the fact that his teacher is someone else's grandfather completely overshadows him.

Moreover, Konoha Village is currently extremely short of top talents, and Tsunade has finally returned.

In addition, he knew that Hiruzen attached great importance to the matter of Kurama Yakumo.

Both morally and logically, Mitokado Homura did not want to offend Tsunade over the three million ryo.

"Okay, I'll approve the money," said Koharu Tsurugi. "But I have two conditions."

"Speak," Tsunade said.

"First, a detailed breakdown of expenses must be submitted to me for review each month; second, if there is no progress within a month of treatment, further funding will not be approved."

"Okay, we'll do it your way." Tsunade readily agreed.

A month is neither a long nor a short time.

If Qiu Shui's suggestion works, that's enough.

"Take this to the finance office to collect your money." Koharu took a stamp from her drawer, stamped the list, and handed it to Tsunade.

Tsunade took the list, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"It's good that young people are responsible, but don't be reckless." Xiaochun put her reading glasses back on and looked at Qiushui again. "That child's abilities are dangerous. Be careful."

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

"Thank you for reminding me, Dormitory Transfer Officer." Qiu Shui nodded in thanks.

The two left the financial review room and walked down the corridor.

Tsunade folded the list and put it away, then glanced at Shusui.

"You were praised by that old woman; you're lucky."

"Was that a compliment?" Qiu Shui was taken aback.

"Of course it counts." Tsunade scoffed. "She's always cold-faced with young people; it's already quite rare for her to say even a single word of caution."

Qiu Shui had never had the opportunity to communicate with someone of Xiao Chun's caliber before, and was unaware of her personality and style of doing things.

But after hearing Tsunade say that, he felt that the other party seemed to be quite nice.

"Haha, finally I'm rich!"

Tsunade received three million ryo from the finance office and immediately cheered as she walked out of the Hokage Building, looking like a cat that had stolen a fish.

"Lady Tsunade, this money is for Yakumo's treatment," Shusui reminded her instinctively when she saw her like this.

He was genuinely afraid that Tsunade would gamble it away.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Tsunade waved her hand dismissively. She took out a wad of cash from the box and handed it to Qiushui. "The main reason we were able to get the money this time is because your method was adopted. This 500,000 taels is for your trouble."

"Lady Tsunade, this isn't right," Shusui said, looking troubled. "Besides, didn't you say the money wasn't enough?"

"Oh dear, that's what they say to the old men." Tsunade raised her chin, as if to say, "You still have to learn it."

"Lady Tsunade, I still can't accept this money. You can keep it for yourself." Shusui shook her head.

Tsunade has the guts to criticize the Hokage because she has that status, and she doesn't care about her image.

He was just an ordinary Chunin teacher.

If he were discovered, it would be a huge loss, damaging the image he had cultivated in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and in his daily life.

Most importantly, these 500,000 taels of silver are of little use to Qiu Shui.

"You already know about this. If you don't want it, I feel like you might go and complain to the old man." Tsunade reached out and put her arm around Shusui's neck, pulling him close to her. She spoke in his ear, her tone laced with threat.

To avoid this from happening, you have to take the 500,000 taels, whether you like it or not.

"Okay...okay then." Qiu Shui was pulled like this, and all she could see was the fullness of her breasts that gleamed white in the sunlight at the neckline. Her voice became somewhat intermittent. "Then this money...can be kept here with me for now. You can take it from me when Yakumo needs it for treatment."

He felt that the world was changing too fast. The Third Hokage and Tsunade were both rushing to give him money.

"This money is yours, so it's yours." Tsunade released Shusui, her expression somewhat unnatural. "Do you think I, Tsunade, am the kind of person who would ask for money back after giving it away?"

She realized that her behavior just now was inappropriate, and felt the warm breath of Qiu Shui against her chest, which made her feel a little itchy.

Two days after the final exams, students from all grades have to go back to school again.

The purpose was to announce exam results and the arrangements for summer homework, so students who had just enjoyed a short two-day break had to return to school.

Inside the classroom of Class 1, Grade 5.

"Sakura, do you think you can surpass Ino in the overall ranking of this final exam?" Sakura's best friend, Yurina, leaned over, looking a little nervous, and asked in a low voice. There are two factions among the girls in Class 1 of the fifth grade.

One was led by Yamanaka Ino, and the other was centered around Haruno Sakura.

Whether it's during normal times or after each exam, the two factions would argue endlessly about whether Sakura Haruno or Ino Yamanaka performed better.

In the past two months, Sakura Haruno suffered two defeats at the hands of Ino Yamanaka, which has led to their momentum in the class being significantly suppressed by Ino Yamanaka's side recently.

I don't dare to make eye contact with them when we walk, and I can only silently endure their sarcastic remarks.

"It's hard to say." Sakura Haruno thought for a moment and analyzed seriously, "If Ino's average score in theory doesn't reach 95, then I will definitely win."

She only won once in the final practical exam, and lost to Ino by a narrow margin in the second round.

Sakura Haruno remembered that Ino's average score on the theory exam last month was 88, while hers was 93.

But this time she was very confident, thinking that her theoretical score would be at least around 98.

As long as Ino's theoretical score isn't too high, or exceeds 94 points.

Sakura Haruno is confident that she can surpass her in the overall ranking.

Upon hearing this, Yurina's expression grew even more tense.

She silently prayed in her heart that Sakura Haruno would win.

Because she also made a bet with Aya Nagai.

The bet wasn't on their own results, but on the results of Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura.

The stakes are 500 taels of silver, plus buying the other party something worth no more than 500 taels.

If she loses, her allowance for the week will be gone.

On the other side, Aya Nagai also moved closer to Ino Yamanaka.

"Ino, you won one more time than Sakura in this practical exam," Aya Nagai asked expectantly. "How do you think your theory grades were for the final exam? Are you confident you can surpass her in the overall ranking?"

If Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura don't get along, then she and Yurina do too.

Moreover, the stakes this time were quite high; a thousand taels was a week's allowance for her.

If she loses, she'll really have to secretly cry in bed.

But if she wins, she can suddenly gain an extra thousand taels of silver.

Just thinking about it made Aya Nagai's lips curl into a slight smile.

"There shouldn't be any problems." Yamanaka Ino confidently raised her chin.

Her theoretical grades weren't that much different from Sakura's, and she even won one more practical exam than Sakura.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she's guaranteed to win this bet.

Akisui walked into the classroom of Class 1, Grade 5, and asked Hinata and Sakura Haruno to give her hair a trial perm.

When Sakura Haruno was handing out the test papers, she glanced at her own paper out of the corner of her eye and saw that she had scored 98 points in theory. She was immediately delighted.

But as she flipped through the pages, she didn't see Ino's exam paper, which made her heart sink again.

Is Inoboro's theoretical score really going to reach 95?

"Are you all satisfied with the scores you got on this exam?" Qiu Shui stood on the podium with a gentle smile on her face.

"Satisfied," the students answered in unison, their voices much louder than usual.

"This is the result of your hard work every day." Qiu Shui nodded. "Considering how well you've performed, I won't assign you any holiday homework for these two months of summer vacation."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the classroom.

"Teacher Qiushui, are you serious?" A student suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief and surprise.

The other students also stared intently at Qiu Shui, their eyes shining with an almost frightening intensity.

Even Sakura Haruno, who usually loves studying, is no exception.

"Of course it's true. When has Teacher Qiushui ever lied to you?"

"Teacher Qiushui, you're so kind!"

"Teacher Qiushui, from this moment on, you are my god!"

Upon hearing Qiu Shui's accurate reply, the students became so excited that they began showering him with compliments, their cheers growing louder and louder.

"I've never heard such good news in my life." A boy slumped on the table, making a face as if he was about to faint.

"Last summer I was working on my homework until 3 a.m., and my eyes were almost blind. This year I don't have to!" Another girl excitedly slammed her hand on the table.

"That's right, every holiday is like it never happened, the homework piled up higher than a person."

"Long live Teacher Qiushui!"

Summer vacation is something they look forward to, but the pile of homework assigned every summer vacation always gives them a headache.
