Tsunade looked at Qingyun, who was trembling even when holding the chopsticks, and felt a flash of heartache in her heart. After thinking for a while, she prepared a potion, then grabbed Qingyun's hand, applied the potion on it, and gently massaged Qingyun.
After a long while, Qingyun thanked Tsunade with a relieved look on his face: "Thank you, teacher sister."
Hearing this, Tsunade knocked Qingyun's head in annoyance: "Why are you working so hard? You are still young, and your meridians are not yet formed. Performing Healing Jutsu like this will probably cause sequelae. Don't you know that?"
Qing Yun felt warm in his heart when he heard this: "Don't worry, Teacher Sister, I will pay attention in the future. Don't forget, I am also a medical ninja now!"
"Silly boy."
Tsunade looked at Qingyun with a serious expression, scolded him with a smile, and then kept adding more food to Qingyun's plate.
After dinner, Qingyun originally wanted to treat some more wounded people, but was driven back by Tsunade.
Qingyun had no choice but to obey Tsunade, took the washed lunch box, and slowly left the Ninja Hospital.
Shortly after Qingyun left, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Tsunade and asked, "I heard Qingyun is doing a good job here!"
Tsunade didn't show a happy expression when she heard that. Instead, she looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen warily: "Old man, what do you want to do?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but then he covered it up: "Tsunade, Qingyun's strength is comparable to Chūnin, and the battlefield is currently tight..."
"Old man, stop talking. How old is Qingyun? He is now at the stage of increasing strength. If he is exposed to the battlefield too early, the consequences will be very serious. Don't forget which tribe he belongs to."
Tsunade rudely interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen before he could finish his words.
"But you and I have seen what Qingyun has been doing during this period. He is different from ordinary Uchiha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to fight for it, but Tsunade didn't give in: "That's why we can't let Qingyun get involved in the battlefield too early. He is still young and his mind is not mature yet. If something unexpected happens, old man, do you want to have another enemy like Uchiha Madara?
There is no other Senju Hashirama in Konoha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth when he heard this, but finally decided to compromise.
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's departing back, Tsunade's eyes flickered. Finally, he sighed, grabbed the bottle and gulped down the wine. After a while, Tsunade's face flushed and he muttered something.
Qingyun didn't know about Tsunade's conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen. When he returned to his residence, he found Kushina was also here. Qingyun looked at the sky and asked curiously: "Kushina, it's so late, why haven't you gone home yet? Is there anything wrong?"
When Kushina saw Qingyun, a look of joy first appeared on her face. But after hearing Qingyun's words, she lowered her head with a look of disappointment.
"Kushina was excluded by her classmates at school. Some classmates mocked her, so she chased them and beat them up. Her classmates gave her a nickname, Blood Red Pepper."
Namikaze Minato saw Qingyun coming back and saw Kushina's lost look, so he explained what happened today.
Qingyun suddenly realized, no wonder Kushina had that expression, it turned out to be because of this.
After thinking for a while, Qingyun comforted: "Kushina, friends are more about quality than quantity. Don't you have two friends, me and Minato? As for the others, they have their mouths on them, they can say whatever they want, why should we get angry about what they say?
If you really can't stand it anymore, just beat up all those who mocked you. If you can't beat them, you can ask Minato for help. If Minato is no match for you, then come to me and I will definitely help you vent your anger."
Upon hearing this, Kushina smiled brightly, looked at Qingyun, and nodded with a touched expression.
Qingyun was relieved to see Kushina recover. He really felt sympathy for this girl with a miserable life. He didn't want Kushina to have a miserable ending like in the original novel.
After the three of them continued chatting for a while, Qingyun and Namikaze Minato sent Kushina back together.
On the way, Qingyun told Namikaze Minato and Kushina what happened in the Ninja Hospital.
Namikaze Minato and Kushina looked at Qingyun with admiration. Qingyun was the same age as them, but he could help Konoha Village and contribute his own strength, which made them very envious.
Along the way, the three of them chatted and laughed as they sent Kushina home. Soon, they sent Kushina to the ancestral land of the Senju clan. Qingyun and Namikaze Minato stopped and waved goodbye to Kushina.
...
"Kushina is back? Come and eat."
A beautiful woman with the same hair color as Kushina looked at Kushina kindly and said.
Kushina looked at the beautiful woman and nodded happily: "Okay, Grandma Mito."
Uzumaki Mito was relieved to see Kushina's happy face, and asked pretending to be indifferent: "I heard that you had a fight at school today?"
Kushina paused while serving rice when she heard this, then recovered: "Well, who told them to mock me, but grandma, I will try not to fight in the future. Qingyun is right, they have their own mouths, and I can't control what they say. As long as they don't violate my bottom line, it's fine."
Uzumaki Mito's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Qingyun, this name has been mentioned frequently by Tsunade recently, but Qingyun seems to be from the Uchiha clan. Kushina is on good terms with him, will it be possible...
There was a hint of worry in Uzumaki Mito's eyes. When Kushina mentioned Qingyun's name, a bright smile appeared on her face. Uzumaki Mito knew that Kushina probably regarded Qingyun as her closest friend.
"It seems like you, Kushina, have a crush on this guy called Qingyun!"
Uzumaki Mito looked at Kushina with a smile on his face.
"Of course, grandma, you don't know how powerful Qingyun is. His boxing skills are slow, but he can block extremely fast attacks and bounce them back.
Moreover, Qingyun treated more than 30 wounded people today. Do you think he is very capable?"
While eating, Kushina excitedly told Uzumaki Mito about Qingyun's power.
Uzumaki Mito had a smile on his face and became more and more curious about Qingyun!
"Since this Qingyun is so powerful, why not invite him to our house for dinner sometime?"
Uzumaki Mito said casually.
Kushina happily agreed upon hearing this!
Uzumaki Mito looked at Kushina's appearance, and his eyes slowly became more vicissitudes.
It is hard to imagine that a beautiful woman with a face like a young woman in her twenties can have such a weathered look in her eyes.
...
On the other side, Qingyun, unaware that he had attracted the attention of Konoha's current biggest boss, followed Namikaze Minato on the silent streets.
"Brother, do you think it's okay for me to graduate early?"
Namikaze Minato looked at Qingyun expectantly.
Qingyun frowned when he heard this: "No, not to mention that we are in wartime now, you and I are still young, and we will definitely go to the battlefield after graduation. We still have a lot of room to grow, so there is no need to rush.
Moreover, at this time of graduation, powerful ninjas, such as your teacher, all have their own tasks and have no time to pay attention to us. The remaining teachers are some mediocre teachers who are unable to teach us at all.
Minato, we should calm down and settle ourselves. Only in this way can we better help the village in the future."
If they graduate at this time, they still don't know which unknown ninja they will be assigned to work under. Moreover, it is wartime now. Once a large-scale battle breaks out, these newly graduated ninjas may be called to the battlefield.
Although he and Minato were both comparable to some Chūnin at this moment, they had no experience at all, and their chances of survival were too low if they went into battle at this time.
After hearing what Qingyun said, Namikaze Minato could only temporarily give up the idea of graduating early.
There was no conversation along the way. After returning to their residence, the two went back to their rooms and began to practice Hun Yuan Gong.
