Naruto: Starting as Tsunade's Desk Mate

Several times during this time, Tsunade and An'an drank water because they were thirsty, and they muttered something to each other.

The two enjoyed endless bliss in this little world.

Tsunade has now gained a new hobby... (?﹏?)

As a result, the two of them developed some ninjutsu...

This has expanded Konoha's ninjutsu repertoire, which is truly cause for celebration.

A week later, the two appeared in the ninja world.

I started sorting through the many gifts I had received from friends.

Most people give out discount coupons for barbecue or free hot springs from their own businesses.

People like Hiruko and Orochimaru would send very unusual gifts, such as all sorts of herbs that nourish yin and aphrodisiacs.

"What a joke! How could I, An Yan, a dignified man, use such a thing?" An Yan said to Tsunade while putting the item away.

Even the strongest man can't withstand Tsunade's infinite regeneration; it's definitely better to be prepared for this kind of thing early on.

Chapter 60 Becoming a Team Leader

After a long day of work, An Yan sat on the sofa, feeling a little tired. Tsunade snuggled up to him like a kitten, and the two of them cuddled together.

Suddenly, Tsunade took a banana from the coffee table and peeled it.

“An Yan, look,”

An Yan, who was in a daze, turned around and saw Tsunade sticking out her little tongue and licking the banana in her hand.

Who could tolerate this? An Yan directly carried Tsunade back into the Castle of Love.

My spear has been dulled by the heavy rain, and my warhorse is rusted, but my charge is a Conquist-like charge, a windmill named Tsunade, I will fight you for three hundred rounds! Three hundred rounds!

After An Yan and Tsunade got married, they were inseparable and in the midst of their honeymoon. The Hokage, being an experienced person, wisely refrained from sending An Yan on any missions during this time.

There aren't many missions near the village, and most of them are low-level missions, which are left for the lower-ranking ninjas.

However, a Jonin, a powerful ninja, couldn't just sit idle. It just so happened that a new class of students from the Ninja Academy was graduating, and Hiruzen Sarutobi assigned An'yan the task of mentoring the students.

At training ground number 13, the three little ones waited patiently for their teacher to arrive.

Rope Tree was getting a little impatient. Bored, he picked up some small stones and started throwing them at the leaves, chatting casually with his companions.

"I wonder who our teacher is. It looks like they're late."

Kana Uzumaki shook her head blankly, "I don't know, do you know Minato?"

Minato Namikaze was holding a rubber ball, seemingly studying something. When he heard Kana Uzumaki's question, he shook his head. Even the First Hokage's grandson didn't know the inside story, so how could an ordinary person like him know?

The three continued their tedious wait, while on the other side, in An Yan's water domain, in the Castle of Love, Tsunade and he were still playing around.

"Sweetie, give in! This is my first day as a team leader!"

An Yan wanted to push Tsunade away helplessly, but he couldn't bear to use force. His weak and powerless push only excited Tsunade more.

"Look, it's healed. Let's try again!"

"Ah, wait!"

Before An Yan could refuse, Tsunade pinned him down.

An hour later, An Yan arrived late at training ground number 13.

Faced with the three little ones' angry glares, An Yan had no choice but to tell a lie.

"The teacher just got lost on the path of life, so he was a little late, hahaha, everyone must have been waiting impatiently, let's begin."

Rope Tree approached An Yan with a suspicious look, pointed to a spot on his neck and asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what happened to you? There's a red and swollen area on your neck. Are you injured?"

An Yan touched the hickey Tsunade had left on him and said seriously, "This is an injury my brother-in-law got when he was on a mission. You guys need to work on improving your strength, otherwise you might die in danger at any time in the future."

"Is that so?" Nawaki looked doubtful, as if something was not quite right.

Kana Uzumaki was speechless. Girls tend to mature earlier and already know some relevant knowledge. Seeing An Yan talking nonsense with a straight face, and Nawaki seemingly believing it, she couldn't help but worry about the future of this small team.

The teacher seems unreliable, and my teammates are idiots. What should I do?

Kana Uzumaki looked at Minato Namikaze, thankfully there was still a teammate who seemed reliable.

"Ahem," An Yan coughed twice, no longer explaining the wound on his neck to Sheng Shu, and smiled gently, his smile cheerful, confident and infectious.

He seemed to be just an ordinary, sunny, and cheerful young man, without any hint of a ninja.

Although they had met before, An Yan still introduced himself again.

"I am An Yan, and I will be your instructor from today onwards. My expertise covers all aspects of ninjutsu, body, and illusion. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves. What do you like? What are you good at? What do you dislike? What are your dreams? As a small team of four, it's better if we know each other a little better."

After Anyan finished his self-introduction, Minato Namikaze began his self-introduction first.

"I am Minato Namikaze. I am best at the Body Flicker Technique, but I am just average in other areas. That's about it. I don't have any particular likes or dislikes. My dream is to become Hokage."

An Yan clapped his hands: "Great dream! Your teacher's dream is also to become Hokage. This dream requires a lot of effort, so keep it up!"

In response to An Yan's encouragement, Shui Men smiled and nodded.

Nawaki said with slight dissatisfaction, "Only I can be the Hokage. The village is my grandfather's treasure, and I will protect it."

An Yan smiled and said, "Then you'll have to compete with Minato properly. To become Hokage, you need the approval of all the villagers."

When the topic of becoming Hokage came up, Nawaki became quite excited, waving his arm and stating matter-of-factly, "I will train hard and become a Kage who can protect everyone."

Cilantro covered her face: "You haven't introduced yourself yet."

Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Kana Uzumaki quickly brought it back, otherwise she wouldn't know whether to continue with her self-introduction.

Nawaki said earnestly, "I am Nawaki, I am skilled in Water Release ninjutsu, and my dream is to become Hokage."

So you just skip over both the things you like and the things you hate?

Kana Uzumaki complained helplessly, but seeing that An Yan didn't react, she could only continue what Nawaki had said.

"I am Uzumaki Kana. I am skilled in sensory ninjutsu, I like to eat mochi, I don't dislike anything, and my dream is to become an excellent ninja so that I can protect everyone."

Hiruzen Sarutobi arranged a very good team composition. Minato Namikaze is a speed-type assassin, Nawaki is from the Senju clan and has a large amount of chakra by nature, so he can be said to be a mobile artillery turret. As for Kana Uzumaki, although not much has been revealed, An'an knows what kind of abilities she has based on Karin's performance. She is both a sensory ninja and a medical ninja, so she is a perfect support.

Nawaki's carefree personality is very similar to Naruto's. Although he has worked hard to improve his grades and escaped the bottom of the class because of his status as the grandson of the First Hokage, he is only ranked in the middle. Paired with Minato Namikaze, a genius boy with the dream of becoming Hokage, the two will stimulate each other and their strength will surely improve quickly.

I don't know why Cilantro was assigned to this team, but given the old clan chief's nature, he's probably after Rope Tree, and most likely wants to arrange a marriage between our children.

After a brief mental analysis, An Yan smiled and clapped:

"Your dreams are all amazing. Now it's time for the practical test. Let me see your skills."

Chapter 61 Practical Assessment

While An Yan was speaking, Minato Namikaze launched his attack. He instantly appeared in front of An Yan with a kunai and stabbed it directly at An Yan's waist.

At the same time, Uzumaki Kana launched an attack. She spread her hands, and a sealing scroll in each hand automatically unfolded. With just a light tap, a large number of ninja tools poured towards An Yan.

Rope Tree wasn't idle either. He quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth, and spat out a water whip that flew towards An Yan.

An Yan's response was very simple: he casually moved a few steps to the side, his movements slow and visibly slow, as if he were only using the strength of a genin.

But simply by shifting positions, the situation of being surrounded and attacked by the three had already changed, and Minato Namikaze, who was charging at the forefront, had unknowingly become the target of the attack.

This is what it means to severely damage my teammates.

Minato Namikaze hurriedly turned around, frantically blocking attacks from his teammates behind him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.

However, Rope Tree's Water Whip still bypassed Minato and attacked An'an. Ninja tools are difficult to control when launched, but ninjutsu is relatively easy to control and won't easily injure teammates.

Faced with the attacking water whip, An Yan remained calm and composed, adopting a Tai Chi stance with air currents swirling around him. With a flick of his wrist, he caught the water whip, bound it in his hand, spun it around his body, and then released it, sending the attack back to its original position. Rope Tree was caught off guard and drenched in his own water-style ninjutsu.

This is a ninjutsu technique that An Yan has been researching for years when he had nothing else to do. The highest good is like water, and the inspiration for it is the True Martial Counterattack Technique in Tianya Mingyue Dao. It can only be used against chuunibyou and genin.

An Yan's move completely captivated Minato Namikaze and Nawaki. The reason was simple: the move was just too cool. "Teacher, I want to learn this!"

Kana Uzumaki didn't stop attacking because of An Yan's cool performance. She directly took out a large number of scrolls, which contained various ninja tools or ninjutsu.

An Yan raised an eyebrow. He had thought that Xiang Cai was a character like Xiang Ling, but now she looked more like Tian Tian.

The three little ones swarmed forward again. An Yan casually exchanged a few blows, roughly understanding their strengths and already having a plan for their training.

For established successes like Minato Namikaze, let him continue to develop in that style; the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan is still quite overpowered.

As for a simpleton like Nawaki, we can train him to be like Naruto, using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to increase his margin for error, and then teaching him some Five Elements Release Techniques to maximize the advantages of Chatonra.

Like Rope Tree, Coriander is at the chakra-level. Just teach her the Five Elements Escape Techniques and some medical ninjutsu, and let her combine the Uzumaki clan's ancestral sealing techniques to make full use of her abundant chakra, turning her into a turret. Her role is healer and mage.

After gaining a general understanding of the three boys' overall strength, An Yan immediately called a halt.

"Alright, I have a general understanding of your abilities now. That's all for today. We'll officially begin our mission tomorrow. Now, I'll treat you to ramen."

"Yay!" Rope Tree cheered loudly; he really loved eating ramen.

An Yan brought the three little ones to the ramen shop. At that time, there was no famous shop called Ichiraku Ramen, but the ramen at the ramen shop was just as good.

After everyone had ordered their food, the four of them started chatting.

"How's the technique I taught you going? Are you making any progress in your research?"

Hearing An Yan's words, Nawaki looked somewhat embarrassed. He still had no idea how the Rasengan was trained, and neither did Kana Uzumaki. However, the difference was that Nawaki had studied it but hadn't found a clue, while Kana hadn't studied it at all. She had been studying sealing techniques recently and hadn't had time to study the Rasengan. Moreover, An Yan had only demonstrated how the Rasengan was formed and hadn't used it at all, so she hadn't seen the power of the ninjutsu and was naturally a little careless.

Minato Namikaze was a commoner ninja, unlike Nawaki and the others. Naturally, he would study any ninjutsu he could learn with great care.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment, and then Minato Namikaze stepped forward to pick up where An Yan left off.

“Teacher An Yan, I think I have made some progress in researching this technique. I estimate that I will be able to fully master it in a while.”

"Not bad, not bad. Once you've mastered this technique, I'll teach you an even more advanced ninjutsu."

An Yan nodded in satisfaction. The thing that teachers appreciate most about their gifted students can be summed up in two words: they are easy to manage.

While they were eating, a few more people entered the room. An Yan looked up and saw that it was Orochimaru with several of his disciples.

For some reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't assign Orochimaru to take care of Nawaki this time. Instead, he handed Nawaki over to An'yan. It's unclear what his reasoning was. Perhaps he felt that An'yan and Nawaki were closer?

Orochimaru, over here.

An Yan waved to Orochimaru, who then walked over.

“An Yan, you’ve also been conscripted by your third generation.”
