Although Hagoromo is of a higher seniority than Shizune according to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shizune is actually older than Hagoromo.

Therefore, even though she had already agreed to train with Hagoromo.

Shizune felt inexplicably embarrassed as she followed Hagoromo to a training ground.

Naruto and the others haven't finished school yet; only Hagoromo and Shizune are here.

Hagoromo Yi rubbed her chin, thought for a while, and realized that Shizune didn't seem to have any major highlights besides Medical Ninjutsu.

At most, it would be something like hidden weapons or poisonous mist.

"Shizune, what is your Chakra nature?" Hagoromo asked, looking at Shizune in front of him.

"Uh, I had my chakra tested with Chakra Paper when I was ten years old; it was water and earth."

Shizune was taken aback by Hagoromo's sudden question and then spoke after a moment's thought.

"Water and soil?"

Hagoromo fell silent for a moment. Was this Tsunade's doing on purpose, or Shizune just doing it by chance?

Have you specifically practiced any Nature Transformation?

Without dwelling on it any longer, Hagoromo turned to ask about something else.

"No, Lady Tsunade said that since following her would only lead to training in Medical Ninjutsu, it's better to focus our energy here."

At this point, Shizune was a little embarrassed.

After all, at this age, it's hard to believe that one still hasn't experienced Nature Transformation.

Hagoromo's lips twitched. Well, it seems he was overthinking it.

He guessed that Tsunade said that not because it was unnecessary, but because she was too lazy.

There's nothing I can do; cultivating the Nature Transformation for so long won't have any effect.

Shizune couldn't create over a thousand Shadow Clones to train like Naruto.

After a moment's thought, Hagoromo decided it would be better to teach Shizune the Inch Power Eight Gates.

After all, Shizune, being medical-nin, was very knowledgeable about chakra pathways and had excellent Chakra control.

Unlike Naruto, Shizune only needs to put in a little effort to quickly overcome the previous obstacles.

"Come on, I'll teach you the Crescent Moon Breathing Method first. It will accelerate your Chakra flow."

With that, Hagoromo Yi began to demonstrate for Shizune.

Shizune didn't ask any more questions, after all, she was naturally low-key and didn't like to talk much.

Tsunade had told her before they set off that she shouldn't have any doubts and should just train with Hagoromo.

Hagoromo was quite satisfied with this; the Crescent Moon Breathing Method, in fact, according to her personality...

Hinata, Neji, and Shizune would train much faster if they had personalities like these.

Having just finished teaching Shizune, Naruto and the others arrived at the training ground.

"Hagoromo- sensei! How is Sakura?"

Ino approached Hagoromo and couldn't help but ask.

Hagoromo smiled; he knew perfectly well that Ino was genuinely worried about Sakura.

It wasn't that Hagoromo didn't trust her students' personalities, but rather that this age was precisely the time for comparisons.

After all, she is one of the legendary Sannin, Princess Tsunade.

If Sakura Haruno could become Tsunade, the implications would be self-evident.

"Don't worry, she's very capable. She's currently being Tsunade."

"That's good."

Ino nodded, having spent the entire afternoon thinking about what would happen if Sakura didn't meet the requirements.

Hinata, standing beside Ino, patted Ino on the shoulder. As her friend, she knew that Ino had been quite listless all afternoon.

"Yosh, we can't lose to Sakura!"

Naruto spoke with great confidence, even though they were classmates, but for Naruto...

Tsunade's students were different from the Hagoromo students; they belonged to a competitive group.

The class rankings may change in the future.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow; Tsunade aura last time had given him a great deal of apprehension.

Therefore, Sakura Haruno's successful Tsunade means that they will have a formidable opponent in the future.

After finishing their casual conversation, the group began their daily cultivation practice.

Naruto still primarily uses Yang Release Armament and Taijutsu, since his teacher said he's suited for a burst of power.

Although I've mastered some Flying Thunder God Techniques and other elemental techniques, I mainly focus on these two and the Rasengan.

Sasuke, on the other hand, is focusing on enhancing his Activated Mark and various Lightning Release Ninjutsu, primarily emphasizing speed and power.

Ino and the other two assigned their own schedules, and now Shikamaru is almost entirely managing their training tasks for the New Ino-Shika-Cho.

Hagoromo has already taught them all the team synergies and combinations; now Shikamaru and the others just need to work together more closely.

Hinata primarily uses Gentle Fist and the Eight Trigrams Gentle Spiral Strike Style, a technique Neji gave her after she became Genin.

Therefore, Hinata now is to overcome these two challenges and find her own direction as soon as possible.

"Lord Hagoromo, have these children always been trained this way?"

Shizune had stopped practicing her breathing technique, exhaled and turned to see Naruto and the others diligently training.

He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Yes, they are all excellent disciples."

With a smile on her face, Hagoromo Yi knew that without their progress, Hagoromo herself wouldn't have achieved her current strength.

His disciples have gradually grown up.

"That's amazing..."

Shizune looked at the scene before her and compared it to her own training under Tsunade for over ten years.

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed; it seems I really have been wasting my time!

Wrong!

Shizune turned her head and thought for a moment, realizing that it wasn't that she didn't want to cultivate at all.

Instead, Tsunade would teach him occasionally, then he would go to sleep, go out, and become a fat sheep.

Moreover, having to escape from time to time and living a nomadic life makes it impossible to train like Naruto and his friends.

As expected, Lady Tsunade is still too lazy. I must supervise Lady Tsunade more strictly in the future.

Tsunade was lazily lounging in the courtyard, suddenly sneezed and rubbed her nose without any regard for her image.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Jiraiya walked over, handed over the tea he had just brewed, and asked a question, though his gaze wasn't very serious.

"If you keep looking around like that, I'll beat you up!"

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and said with a hint of warning.

"Hehehe, no, no. By the way, what do you think of the little girl Hagoromo brought?"

Jiraiya quickly laughed it off and changed the subject.

Following Jiraiya's question, Tsunade's gaze involuntarily turned to Sakura Haruno, who was training in the courtyard.

"Her medical talent is even greater than Shizune's."

As she spoke, Tsunade picked up her teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "I reckon my Monster Strength and Strength of a Hundred Technique will have successors."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked at Sakura with surprise; this was quite a compliment.

The legacy of one of the Sannin is enough for a person to make a great name for themselves in the future.
