Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 16 A Small Opening Doesn't Count

"I must have spent a lot of money on this meal... so please accept this!"

Hinata Hyuga's tone became exceptionally firm as she finished speaking.

This was the first time in her life that she had been so brave.

"And what about you?"

Oil Girl Zhihui countered with a question.

"I...I don't need the money."

Hinata Hyuga's momentum weakened under his gaze. "I'm out of money... Father will give me some."

Indeed, he is wealthy and generous.

Upon closer examination, Tsunade is generous, but not wealthy.

But Hinata Hyuga, as an adult, possesses both qualities.

Without any hesitation, You Nu Zhihui put away the bankbook and said, "Let's go eat barbecue."

Now that we have money, we should flaunt it and eat meat to our hearts' content.

"No need to use a VPN anymore."

Hinata Hyuga suddenly thought of something and said...

"Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that his plan to bolster his courage worked?

"My father said he can be your friend."

Hinata Hyuga's tone was somewhat excited.

Yu Nu Zhihui raised an eyebrow slightly.

His initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness is laughable.

The only explanation is that Hiashi Hyuga knew he had become Tsunade's apprentice.

That's not surprising.

In the original work, the Hyuga clan were all loyal supporters of the Hokage.

Previously, the envoys from Kumogakure kidnapped Hinata Hyuga, but Hiashi Hyuga discovered the kidnapping and killed the leader of the envoys.

As a result, the villains filed a false accusation, demanding that the Hyuga clan hand over the murderer, or else a war would break out.

For the sake of peace in Konoha, with the tacit approval of the higher-ups, Hyuga Hizashi was ultimately sacrificed.

"Let's go."

Aburame Shiki brought Hinata Hyuga to the barbecue restaurant.

He picked up the menu and glanced at it.

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

Oil-producing woman Zhihui asked, "For example, do you eat beef?"

"eat."

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

Thankfully, the answer wasn't that I wouldn't eat it.

Oil Girl Zhihui casually ordered a few dishes.

In no time, the table was filled with various slices of meat.

Pork and beef are the most common.

You Nu Zhihui picked up a piece of pork belly and placed it on the iron rack.

Hinata Hyuga pursed her lips.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out her hand.

We can't just eat for free every time.

"I'll eat when I get back."

Oil Girl Zhihui glanced at her and said.

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga looked completely bewildered.

"I'm going to Tsunade-sensei's house."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Yu Nu Zhihui couldn't help but smile.

"Zhihui-kun, I...I've taken up your time."

Hinata Hyuga was suddenly taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, she said embarrassedly.

But for some reason, she felt a strange sense of emotion.

Zhihui, even if you have something to do, you should still have a meal with me.

He really is... a good person.

"Having a meal won't take up much time."

Oil Girl Zhihui threw two more pieces of beef onto the iron rack.

Hinata Hyuga couldn't help but swallow hard as she smelled the aroma.

Her little face was flushed in the glow of the firelight.

"Eat."

You Nu Zhihui placed the grilled pork belly into her bowl.

Hinata Hyuga looked up at him, then lowered her head and took a bite.

Her thin lips immediately became coated with oil.

Zhihui, the woman in charge of the grilling, handed her a piece of paper and continued grilling the meat for her.

In the end, he ate two pieces.

There's no way around it, it really smells amazing.

"See you tomorrow."

After taking the oil-producing woman, Zhihui, home, he turned and left.

Hinata Hyuga stood at the door, staring blankly at his back.

"elder sister."

Hyuga Hanabi suddenly poked her head out and asked, "Is he Aburame Shiki?"

"When...when did you get here?"

Hinata Hyuga was startled.

"Just now."

Hinata Hanabi's eyes darted around, and she said, "Sister, you haven't answered my question yet."

"It's Zhihui-kun."

Hinata Hyuga nodded and said.

"oh."

Hinata Hanabi looked at him expectantly and asked, "Sister, can I get to know him?"

She only saw the back of Aburame Shiki, not the front, so her curiosity remained strong.

"If there's a chance, I'll introduce you to someone."

Hinata Hyuga patted her head and said.

"Thank you, sister."

Hinata Hanabi immediately broke into a happy smile.

Aburame Shiki headed north and arrived at Tsunade's residence.

"Zhihui, come and eat."

Silent waved to him.

She and Tsunade were already seated at the table, waiting for him.

"Why are you so late?"

Tsunade's lips curled into a smug smile as she said, "There's no point in stalling for time. Just admit defeat."

She assumed that Yu Nu Zhihui was late because he hadn't mastered the medical-related books she had given him.

There are some concerns about keeping it silent.

Is Lady Tsunade really going to win?

No, that's not right.

Shizune suddenly realized that she seemed to be hoping that Tsunade would lose.

"I was delayed because of other things."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said calmly."

"Show-off brat."

Tsunade snorted and said, "I'll test you now. If you can't answer, you'd better admit defeat."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

"The first question."

Tsunade crossed her arms and squinted her eyes.

She wanted to see how long he could stay calm.

But soon, her expression changed.

Silent was even more dumbfounded.

Tsunade set fifteen questions.

From simple to complex, and each book contains one question.

But Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, answered all the questions correctly.

Full of light!

Is it open?

Shine instinctively covered her mouth.

Tsunade tightened her grip slightly.

Her snow-white skin seemed almost palpable.

Oil-slicker Zhihui was worried about the quality of her clothes, feeling that they would break at any moment.

He wanted to lend a hand.

"You won, kid."

Although Tsunade was unlucky, she never defaulted on her debts.

At most, they'll just hide from their creditors.

As long as she isn't found, it doesn't count as defaulting on the debt.

She looked at You Nu Zhihui, her feelings somewhat complicated.

Why did I have to meet him now of all times?

"Have a meal."

Tsunade picked up her chopsticks and said, "I'll teach you after the meal."

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded.

He was really looking forward to Tsunade's private lessons.

Shizune felt a pang of envy.

She was amazed by Shiki's talent.

If she had one, she should have inherited Tsunade's mantle long ago.

For example, she could never learn the Yin Seal.

After finishing the meal, Jingyin cleaned up the table.

Aburame Shiki followed Tsunade to her room.

Because of her teaching duties, she unusually refrained from drinking.

"Kid, tell me your request."

Since it didn't involve money, Tsunade was unusually generous.

"First of all, I'm not called a brat."

Yu Nuzhi held up two fingers, paused, and said, "Secondly, I haven't decided yet."

"Then take your time to think about it."

A smile appeared on Tsunade's face as she drawled, "Kid~"

Why is the old woman putting on such a pretentious act?

But it's actually quite cute.

But Aburame Zhihui wrote this grudge down in his little notebook.

There will be opportunities to make her change her mind later.

She'll remove the word "small" then.

"Before you start class, you need to know the three principles of a medical ninja."

After teasing Shiki Aburame, Tsunade's tone became serious.

The three principles of medical ninjas were actually established by her.

First, treatment must never be abandoned before a team member dies.

Secondly, one must never stand on the front lines of battle.

Third, you must never die before any member of the squad.
