At the entrance of Konoha Forest, Kakashi lay on his side on a tree branch, staring at the sky in boredom.
Hey, these two clouds look like Tsunade's...
"Kakashi, why are we here? We're skipping classes on the first day of school. It'll be terrible if Mr. Iku finds out!"
After a long wait, Rin under the tree couldn't help but ask.
She was supposed to go to school at noon. Just as she walked into the school gate, Kakashi suddenly grabbed her hand and ran towards the direction of Konoha Forest without saying a word!
Huh?!
This... this can be considered holding hands, right?
Looking at Kakashi who was half a body length ahead of her, Rin suddenly felt flustered, and blushes appeared on her cute little face.
Rin was daydreaming all the way, and finally after she stopped at Kakashi, she slowly calmed down and asked about her curiosity.
"Don't worry, I used a Shadow Clone to transform into your appearance. No one in the school will notice except that idiot Obito."
Kakashi came to his senses and jumped off the branch and came to Rin's side.
"The person you are waiting for is here. Don't refuse anything I say. Just follow my instructions."
Tsunade was seen walking from the village entrance, followed by a little girl who was dressed in black and gray and looked quiet and gentle.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be Shizune.
"Sister Tsunade!"
Kakashi immediately collected his scattered thoughts, walked in front of Tsunade, and saluted respectfully.
"Very punctual? Not bad. Then..."
"Wait a moment, Sister Tsunade."
Kakashi interrupted Tsunade just in time.
"I have a companion who is very talented in practicing medical ninjutsu. Can you give her a chance to test as well?"
Kakashi pulled Rin, who was looking confused, over.
"Huh?!"
"Nonsense! Don't push your luck, little brat..."
Tsunade was furious when she heard this. Do they really think the Sannin are like cabbages?
You just pick anyone and want her to take you as your disciple. Do you still want to save your face?
Huh?
Tsunade was about to leave when she was suddenly attracted by the thick envelope in front of her. This familiar feeling...
"Sister Tsunade, this is our apprenticeship gift, a total of 8 million ryo. Although it's not much, it's a token of our heart."
"Just give us both a chance. No need to return it whether it succeeds or not. Please!"
Kakashi handed over the envelope with both hands and bowed sincerely.
"Ahem…"
Tsunade, whose expression relaxed, gave Shizune beside her a look, and Shizune understood immediately.
"Tsunade-sama, just give them a chance. This way I'll have someone to accompany me during practice. It'll be boring if I'm always alone..."
Shizune looked pitiful.
"Well, since Shizune said so, I'll give you this opportunity. Come with me."
Tsunade said as she turned and walked forward, putting the envelope away without leaving a trace.
The whole process was smooth and extremely natural.
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh; he really made the right bet. It was said that a fat sheep who always lost in every gamble would hardly be in debt.
I can only say, isn't she worthy of being Tsunade?
At this moment, Rin was already frightened. The scene before her was far beyond her ability to understand.
That's eight million ryo!
A huge sum of money that is enough for their family to live on for a very long time!
But all I got was a test spot for this beautiful older sister?
Rin just felt that her little brain was not enough.
However, she still remembered Kakashi's instructions, so she didn't say anything, but pulled Kakashi's clothes and whispered:
"Eight million ryo! That's too much!"
"I can't let you spend this money on me. Let's get the money back now before we start!"
"Hush, this is the legendary Sannin, Lady Tsunade, the most powerful doctor in all of Ninja!"
"Eight million is not a lot. Others may not be able to get such an opportunity even if they work hard."
"Think about it, if the three of us go to the battlefield together in the future, the higher your medical skills are, the easier it will be for that stupid boy Obito to survive, right?"
Kakashi whispered to comfort the bewildered Rin.
"But..."
"Okay, okay. This may be your only chance to change your fate. As for the money, just think of it as a loan from you. You can pay it back when you grow up."
"And didn't we just agree that you should follow my instructions in everything?"
Kakashi touched Rin's head, and looked at her conflicted expression, his eyes curved into crescents.
Rin's excitement was gradually calmed down. She raised her head and quietly observed the surrounding environment.
I saw dense layers of branches intertwined above the forest, a small amount of sunlight fell on the ground, and when the breeze blew, the leaves rustled, as if blaming the visitor for disturbing its sweet dream.
After a while, a piece of open space suddenly appeared in front of them, and the afternoon sun was shining on it unscrupulously, brightening the eyes.
At this point, Tsunade and Shizune also stopped and turned to look at the two people following behind them.
"It's quiet enough here and we won't be disturbed."
"Now I will teach you how to use the healing technique."
"Healing technique is a basic medical ninjutsu that can achieve a certain recovery effect regardless of internal or external injuries."
"And you have to master it within an hour."
"If you succeed, it means you are indeed talented and have passed the first round of the assessment."
"Yes!"
Kakashi answered with full energy.
"Yes… yes!"
Rin seemed a little guilty.
Kakashi held Rin's little hand, suggesting that she don't need to be nervous, he would take care of everything.
Feeling the warmth from her palm, Rin's nervousness was gradually dispelled.
Kakashi knew it in his heart, even though sister Tsunade said that healing techniques were the basis.
But as a B-level ninjutsu, not everyone can master it even in the medical class!
Considering that he and Rin are still young, this assessment is much more difficult than he expected!
I have no problem with it.
It's just that Rin's talent, to be honest, is a bit of a gamble.
However, as a girl who was able to quickly adjust her mentality and complete an eye transplant surgery on the battlefield in the original work, Rin herself must have a strong talent in medical ninjutsu!
As he thought, Kakashi's hands glowed green like Tsunade's.
It succeeded so quickly!
Shizune covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Kakashi in disbelief.
Rin, who also saw the scene, clenched her fists excitedly, her surprised eyes revealing admiration.
As expected of Kakashi, I have to work harder too!
Tsunade on the side changed her expression and split off a Shadow Clone to walk deeper into the forest.
Soon, half an hour later, Rin also successfully performed the healing technique.
Although this speed is not as fast as Kakashi, it is still good enough.
