Tsunade's Hint

The blue light covering the girl's slender ankles flickered a few times before signaling the end of Ninjutsu healing Ninjutsu.

Tsunade released her grip and stood up.

"Alright! Treatment over!" She slapped the girl's two elegantly curved, soft, white flesh hard, making a crisp "smack." "I'm done for. I've taught you the Ninjutsu. Figure it out yourself!"

"Ouch..." The girl rubbed her bottom, frowning as she began to ponder the hidden meaning in Tsunade's words.

She discovered that Tsunade were always loaded with hidden meaning; she never revealed anything in a single sentence, and you had to go through several twists and turns to understand them.

The line, "I'm done for, and I've already taught you Ninjutsu," carries a deeper meaning, especially since she's already passed on her Ninjutsu to me. What does that mean?

Tsunade only taught a few Ninjutsu, and thinking about it carefully, it seems like none of Ninjutsu could actually be of any use.

What she needs is Ninjutsu that can help her memorize a large amount of information in a very short time...

Sakura Haruno lay on her bed, racking her brains for a long time, but came up with nothing.

Tsunade waited for her for a while, but she still didn't get up, so she urged, "Sakura, aren't you going to get dressed? I'm going out!"

She watched as the girl sat up as if waking from a dream and started dressing, and sighed softly.

Tsunade was long past the age of being crazy about Ninjutsu; the drive she saw in the young girl had long since disappeared from her.

She was actually deliberately making things difficult for Sakura, hoping she would back down.

The idea of setting the location outside the Land of Fire was intended to discourage her from establishing a base abroad due to the difficulties. However, Sakura unexpectedly became involved with Kazahana Koyuki, the daimyo of the Land of Snow. What was meant as a subtle way to discourage her ended up being an encouragement.

There's no need to rush this. In two or three years, once she has truly taken control of Konoha, announcing the start of the cloning experiment will be a natural progression.

To the untrained eye, human experimentation is a cruel thing; but as medical-nin, Tsunade knew very well that if such experiments were used for the right purposes, they would be excellent news for the Konoha Ninja.

For example, if human experimentation were to be permitted, Tsunade was confident that she could develop the application of stem cells within a few months, using stem cells to differentiate into tissues and organs, and cure ninjas with physical disabilities without any side effects. From then on, the word "disability" would no longer exist in the dictionary of Konoha Ninja Village.

For example, Konoha has not produced any new drugs for many years. However, if human experiments on cloned humans are allowed, the speed of new medical drug development will increase many times over, the battlefield recovery and first aid capabilities of ninjas will be greatly improved, and the Akimichi Clan's secret medicines will no longer cause deaths from ingestion.

If we just wait a few years, and the publicity is in place, and the human experimentation is gradually legitimized, then we can conduct human experiments legitimately.

Therefore, Sakura has no need to risk doing this now.

However, it's good to encourage them; it's a good thing that young people have drive.

Ever since Jiraiya mentioned the organization called "Akatsuki," Tsunade has had a bad feeling... So before the storms of the future arrive, she hopes that the young people can grow up faster.

If Sakura really goes to the Land of Snow to set up some kind of experimental base, as long as she doesn't use Konoha people as experimental subjects, with her protecting her, the others in Konoha won't be able to care what she's doing.

If we can actually achieve something, that would be wonderful.

She trusted Sakura Haruno quite a bit in this regard; the girl was truly a genius when it came to developing Ninjutsu.

In the end, she set up a test, or perhaps a layer of protection.

With all the scrolls she brought back to be handed over to the Intelligence Division, how would she obtain the information she wanted?

If she can do this, it will be difficult to trace the matter back to this point even if it is investigated later.

This test isn't difficult; Sakura's Ninjutsu is more than enough to help her achieve it. It all depends on whether she wants to get it.

If she really can't come up with a solution, then she should just wait a couple more years before starting this so-called cloning project!

Her growth rate is too fast. She needs to pause at this stage, solidify her foundation, and then move forward...

It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Tsunade's hint was actually quite obvious.

She only taught a few Ninjutsu. Laying them all out and arranging them in different combinations, Sakura quickly found the answer.

However, some details still need to be perfected... In this kind of thing, every detail is important.

After racking her brains for half a day without finding any inspiration, Sakura Haruno flipped through the calendar and realized that Haku's birthday was coming up soon. A thought suddenly struck her.

"Let's go out for a walk, clear our heads, and maybe buy her a birthday present while we're at it..."

Change into your outdoor clothes.

Evening, on a bustling pedestrian street in Konoha.

Welcome!

The store manager bowed in a standard gesture, opened the glass door, and welcomed the two pretty young women standing outside into the cosmetics store.

Experienced waiters have a knack for judging people, and the shop owner, who also worked part-time as a waiter, subtly observed the two simply dressed girls as he invited them in.

The ultimate goal of judging people is to determine whether a customer has the ability and willingness to spend money.

A girl from an ordinary family really wanted to buy it but didn't have the money.

The girl in the ninja story doesn't really want to buy things, but she has the money to.

The former would choose the goods herself, without needing enthusiastic company or desperate sales pitches; after all, she only had so much money in her pocket. The latter was the one he was trying to win over.

The two people who entered, though dressed in casual clothes, were clearly ninjas: their graceful posture with their backs straight as they walked, their flawless white skin, and their piercing eyes were all tell the story.

With a perfect smile and his handsome face, the young shop manager was full of confidence in his ability to make girls scream. He had a lot of experience dealing with these girls who were just beginning to experience romantic feelings. He could often charm them with just a few words and then coax them into obediently handing over their money to buy expensive cosmetics.

He greeted her with his most dashing posture, just about to speak.

The pink-haired girl at the front glared at him sharply, seemingly unmoved by his handsome face. Instead, she appeared to be quite annoyed by his affected manner and deliberate approach, and thus gave him a warning look.

The young shop owner was met with a cold, green gaze, and for a moment felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His hands and feet seemed to freeze, and he stood there motionless.

Little did the shop owner know that when the pink-haired girl used this outfit to pick up girls, he was still wearing open-crotch pants!

Trying to flirt with her like a regular female ninja is just bad luck for the shop owner...

Sakura Haruno glared at the man and then ignored him, turning to her female companion and saying, "Hinata, are we really going to buy this? It's so different from the style of the one I gave you last time!"

"Last time you gave someone a set of Senbon Needles that could be used for both combat and medical purposes. Although it was very practical,," Hinata just wanted to roll her Byakugan at this point, though she didn't need to, "That's definitely not a birthday present a young girl should receive!"

"We're ninjas, after all..." Sakura retorted weakly.

For a ninja's birthday, shouldn't the most suitable gift be a weapon? That set of Senbon is a rare, carefully selected set that's very easy to use!

However, Hinata clearly disagreed with her point of view...

"No, we are female ninjas!" the Byakugan girl said firmly, emphasizing the word "female." "Grooming and dressing up are a form of etiquette for women. While we can be less particular about appearances during missions, observing etiquette in relaxed everyday interactions is a way of showing respect to others, isn't it?"

She said in a tone of exasperation, "Look at me, at least I put on some light makeup. Unlike you, you went out bare-faced! Please, have some self-awareness as a woman! Even if you have great natural features, you should at least wear some lip gloss. Natural pink isn't in fashion this year!"

"Uh..." Sakura Haruno blinked, unsure what to say. What color was natural pink again?

"It's not exactly bare-faced, I did cleanse my face with Ninjutsu before going out..." she forced a defense, arguing that Chakra was far more effective in this regard than facial cleanser—Sakura was referring to the kind used for washing one's face.

When it comes to makeup, she definitely has a deep generation gap with other girls: only a rough guy would give a definite answer as to whether going out after washing your face counts as going out without makeup.

"Hmph!" Hinata raised her head and said disdainfully, "Don't talk to me, you rough man in a woman's skin!"

Well, in a way, Hinata the head...

However, to be precise...

She's probably a tomboy who still retains some masculine traits!
