Half a day later, Tenten lay weakly on the sofa, her eyes lifeless, as if she had been completely exhausted.
"This really... really doesn't make any sense...", She muttered, "Why don't I have any talent for medical ninjutsu at all..."
Beside her, Ino also wore a hopeless expression. Although she had some talent, it was only a little, and it was not enough to catch Lady Tsunade's eye.
From Aoba's perspective, the situation with both of them was actually quite normal.
First of all, Tenten's main fighting style revolved around taijutsu and controlling ninja tools. If she had any talent in ninjutsu, it should be in space-time ninjutsu.
However, her space-time ninjutsu talent was different from Namikaze Minato's.
Tenten's space-time ninjutsu allowed her to store a large number of ninja tools in a different dimension and summon them when needed.
She could also store a large number of ninja tools in a scroll, often used for transporting supplies.
In the original work, she even summoned an ocean and a giant ship, which was quite absurd.
As for Ino, the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu naturally involved spiritual power, belonging to the Yin Release category. Her talent in that area was stronger, but compared to that, her Yang Release talent for medical ninjutsu was much weaker.
However, Hinata's condition was much better than the other two. Though she didn't have talent for medical ninjutsu either, she wasn't interested in it in the first place.
If she became a medical ninja, how could she protect Aoba?
If she put aside her Gentle Fist, she wouldn't be able to protect him.
"Not bad, Sakura, your talent is quite good," Tsunade looked at the pink-haired girl in front of her, feeling quite satisfied.
Although she wasn't as monstrously talented as Aoba, she was still among the best of ordinary people.
She quickly grasped the basics of medical knowledge, and her chakra control talent was also outstanding.
She had the potential to become a medical ninja.
But Tsunade still wanted to hear Sakura's opinion, "Sakura, do you want to become a medical ninja?"
Sakura was about to immediately agree, but Tsunade stopped her with a serious expression, "Listen to me first!"
"Medical ninjas are different from ordinary ninjas. Most medical ninjas have no combat ability at all and can only hide behind their teammates. In battle, they are also easy targets for the enemy. Have you thought this through?"
Sakura was momentarily stunned when she heard this, then turned to look at Aoba, a happy smile spreading across her face, "It's okay, I think even if I have no combat ability, Aoba will still protect me."
Aoba didn't expect Sakura to say that, but he didn't hesitate and directly nodded, "I will protect Sakura."
"Hehe!", Sakura covered her face and giggled foolishly.
Aoba wasn't someone who played favorites, so before Tenten, Ino, and Hinata could show their jealous expressions, he turned to them and said seriously, "I will always protect you all too."
Finally, he looked at Tsunade and Shizune.
Seeing Aoba's gaze shift to them, Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Teacher, Sister Shizune, I will never let anything happen to you either."
"Aoba, you must protect your sister in the future," Shizune looked at Aoba's serious expression, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Tsunade, on the other hand, crossed her arms under her impressive chest, looking indifferent.
"Hmph, I don't need a little brat to protect me. Your sweet talk only works on little girls."
"..."
'Oh really? Then can you at least stop smirking when you say that?'
There's a saying that goes, If she's inexperienced, show her the world's splendor. If she's been through hardships, take her on a carousel ride.
Tsunade had been wandering the world for half her life. Although she still looked young, she had been through countless hardships and witnessed many tragedies.
Yet, these childish words meant to coax young girls actually gave her an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Of course, she would never admit that. Seeing the strange expressions on the others' faces, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
She then reached out and messed up Aoba's hair until it was a complete mess.
Seeing his annoyed expression, Tsunade finally felt much better.
"Brat, you're in charge of lunch today too."
Before Aoba could react, Shizune's face suddenly froze, "Today again? Aoba's cooking?"
Aoba was already far more talented than her. As a disciple, she was no match for him.
Now, even the task of cooking was being taken away. Although she really wanted to eat Aoba's cooking, this made her feel completely useless.
'Will her only job in this household be to clean up after Tsunade-sama and Aoba are done eating?'
'Is there no place for her in this home anymore?'
"What's wrong?", Tsunade had no idea what Shizune was thinking.
But Aoba noticed her thoughts and took the initiative to grab her hand, "Sister Shizune, let's cook together."
———
After lunch.
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, especially when they occasionally glanced at Hinata's slightly bulging stomach.
Even Tsunade looked at her with a curious gaze. If she were Orochimaru, she might have dragged her to a lab for dissection and study.
'How can such a small stomach hold so much food?'
At first, she thought Aoba had accidentally made too much, but by the end, it seemed he had actually made too little.
Noticing the steam practically rising from the back of Hinata's head, Tsunade changed the subject, "Sakura, you can come train with this brat tomorrow."
Since Sakura wanted to become a medical ninja, Tsunade would naturally give her a chance.
As the one who revolutionized Konoha's medical ninja system, she naturally hoped for more medical ninjas in the village.
Besides, she didn't need to personally teach her. Shizune's level was already enough to instruct a beginner.
"Really?"
Sakura was so happy that she almost jumped off the sofa. After calming down, she quickly bowed deeply to Tsunade, "Thank you, Lady Tsunade! I will study hard and never disappoint your expectations!"
Tenten and Ino's eyes were filled with envy, nearly tangible in the air. Even Hinata had the same look.
She didn't care about medical talent, but she wanted to be with Aoba-kun every day.
Now, Sakura would be able to train with Aoba here daily, while the three of them couldn't. Visiting too often would be impolite.
Coming over once in a while was fine, but if they came every day, it would be inappropriate.
The three girls' moods visibly sank, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Aoba wanted to comfort them, but just then, there was a knock at the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Strange, who could it be at this hour?"
Shizune curiously walked over to open the door.
As soon as she did, a small golden-haired head popped into view.
"Huh?"
Naruto quickly greeted her politely.
"Hello, Sister Shizune!"
"Hello to you too. Come inside, Naruto."
Shizune smiled and invited him in. Having been with Tsunade for so long, she more or less knew his true identity.
"Thank you, Sister Shizune!"
Naruto happily stepped inside.
Before they even saw him, they heard his voice first.
"Aoba, Granny Tsunade, I'm here!"
