How About One of You Takes Me as Your Master?

Snap!

While still observing Hagoromo, Tonton was suddenly slapped on the forehead.

"Aww--!"

Just as Hagoromo was covering her forehead, Tsunade's voice rang out.

"Hey brat! Stop staring at Tonton like that!"

Upon hearing this, Shizune quickly hugged Tonton and avoided his gaze.

He glared fiercely at Hagoromo; this guy was actually thinking about Tonton.

"Yes, Senior Sister!"

Hagoromo rubbed her forehead helplessly. This wasn't the first time she'd seen a ninja pig; she was just curious.

"By the way, Master, the Fourth Raikage has been assigned to Killer B's original location."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade had finished speaking, Hagoromo finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot, I'll arrange it right away."

"Old man, where is Karin you mentioned?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, ignoring the so-called Fourth Raikage, and instead asked Hiruzen Sarutobi about Karin's location.

"Let Hagoromo take you there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and pointed to Hagoromo beside him, "Karin is now Hagoromo's apprentice."

"Um?"

Tsunade turned to look at Hagoromo, wondering if it was just her imagination.

Hagoromo sensed that Tsunade seemed somewhat displeased after hearing those words.

"Hagoromo, take Tsunade with you." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said to Hagoromo.

"Yes, Master."

Seeing this, Hagoromo had no choice but to accept the task, and said to Tsunade, "Senior sister, come with me."

Tsunade a soft snort, crossed her arms, and followed Hagoromo out of the Hokage's Office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had returned to his desk, watched Tsunade leave and chuckled softly.

It's always a good thing that a disciple can return, especially since it's Tsunade, Tsunade's disciple.

For Tsunade, Tsunade's significance is different from Konoha of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, not only because of her strength, but also because of her lineage as a descendant of the First and Second Hokage.

That's enough to accomplish a lot.

"Karin, your Chakra nature is earth and water."

Hagoromo's Shadow Clone spoke to Karin in front of him, saying that Karin's talent was truly remarkable.

And this is only the attribute that can be measured on Chakra Paper.

Hagoromo himself was able to sense the excess Yang Release Chakra emanating from Karin, and—

Yin Release.

If Karin could perfectly combine Yang Release, Earth Release, and Water Release Earth Release, she might very well become the next Wood Release Kekkei Genkai user.

Yes, the Yamato Plus version.

"Hey, kid."

In the forest, Tsunade leaned against a tree trunk and glanced at Hagoromo beside her.

Hagoromo didn't pay much attention to how Tsunade was addressed, after all, the person in front of him was already fifty years old.

Calling myself a little devil is perfectly fitting.

"Senior sister, what's the matter?"

Hagoromo turned to Tsunade and asked.

"I want to take that girl from the Uzumaki Clan as my apprentice."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she glanced at Hagoromo's expression and said, "I hope you can give up."

"Senior sister, are you planning to leave the village again after taking her in?"

Hagoromo was taken aback, but then guessed what Tsunade was thinking.

"Tch, just like the Nara Clan brat, how annoying."

Even Tsunade couldn't help but admire that her thoughts were known so quickly.

"I cannot agree, senior sister."

Hagoromo shook her head, refusing Tsunade's request.

After all, this was a disciple he had already internally chosen; he just hadn't officially confirmed the acceptance of the disciple yet.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade was very displeased upon hearing this.

"You probably don't really know what happened to Karin, do you?" Hagoromo didn't respond, but instead spoke from another angle.

Ignoring the impatience on Tsunade's face, Hagoromo instead began to recount Karin's ordeal.

Tsunade, who was initially impatient, gradually composed herself as Hagoromo continued speaking.

His eyes were fixed on Karin on the field.

"Hmm?" Karin, who was listening to Hagoromo's explanation, turned her head to look at the forest next to the training ground.

There—someone is watching her!

"What a perceptive little guy."

Even Tsunade had to admire Karin's keen insight at this moment.

It was just a moment of carelessness on my part that led to my discovery.

"Let's go, senior sister, Karin is quite sensitive right now."

With that, Hagoromo took a leap and jumped directly to the ground.

"Smug brat." Tsunade muttered. She knew perfectly well that Hagoromo was just trying to prevent her from leaving with Karin.

For Karin now, getting along with people is more important than learning Ninjutsu.

And peers are the best solution.

"Master!"

"Teacher!"

When Naruto, Neji, and the others on the training field saw Hagoromo, they all spoke up.

"Take a break first."

Hagoromo reached out and patted each of her disciples on the head, revealing a gentle smile.

Until finally, Karin, whose face was full of expectation, yet whose Karin was constantly lowered.

Hagoromo smiled and reached out to ruffle Karin's hair.

"Karin, are you settling in alright?"

"Yes, yes! Ino and Hinata are both very nice."

Hearing this, Karin nodded happily; these past few days had been the happiest time of her life.

"Hey?! Who are you, big sister?"

Naruto turned his head and saw Tsunade standing behind Hagoromo, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Upon hearing Naruto's question, Shikamaru and the others turned to look and saw a stunningly beautiful woman.

Ino's eyes darted back and forth between Hagoromo and Tsunade with a gossipy expression.

"This is my teacher's senior, her name is Princess Tsunade, you can call her 'Senior Sister' from now on."

Hagoromo then turned around and introduced them to her disciples.

"Hey! Senior sister!"

"Princess Tsunade- hime..." Shikamaru kept muttering the name, then seemed to realize something.

He looked at Tsunade in disbelief.

The legendary Konoha Sannin! Princess Tsunade!

The granddaughter of the First Hokage!

Surrounded by Naruto and the others, Tsunade was starting to feel overwhelmed; she really wasn't used to having little kids around her.

"Senior Uncle, you're amazing, aren't you!"

Naruto looked on with curiosity, after all, his teacher was already very powerful.

Wouldn't Tsunade, as her senior, be even stronger?

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade curled into a smile. She glanced at Hagoromo beside her and couldn't help but speak:

"What? Is your teacher really that amazing?"

"Of course! Teacher Hagoromo is the best!"

Naruto praised him without any hesitation, and even Sasuke and the others beside him nodded in unison.

Although they hadn't grasped the full extent of their teacher's strength, they knew that within the entire Konoha Village—

Aside from the Hokage, Hagoromo is the strongest.

"If I beat your teacher, how about one of you becomes my disciple?"

Tsunade finally revealed her true intentions.
