"It's fine if you don't want to," Hyuga Bin thought nothing of Tsunade's refusal.
He had only said that for the sake of the option mission, and he was already satisfied that it hadn't led to any negative consequences.
"Besides wanting an older sister, did someone tell you to say this to me?" Tsunade, in contrast to Hyuga Bin's composure, had thought of many things.
She was willing to believe that Hyuga Bin had no ulterior motives towards her, but that didn't mean the people behind him wouldn't try to use Hyuga Bin's relationship with her to do something.
"No, I just suddenly thought of it and said it," Hyuga Bin shook his head.
"Alright," Tsunade believed Hyuga Bin's explanation.
The two walked all the way to the Senju compound, and outside Tsunade's home, she brought up the topic of Hyuga Bin's studies: "Is there anything you want to learn?"
"What aspect does Lord Tsunade plan to teach me?" Hyuga Bin coveted Tsunade's... Creation Rebirth and Yin Seal.
However, the current Tsunade was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her forehead didn't yet have the diamond-shaped mark, clearly indicating she hadn't mastered the Yin Seal. He wasn't sure if she had mastered Creation Rebirth.
"My original intention was to teach you Medical Ninjutsu. But if you want to learn something else, I can teach you that too," Tsunade gave Hyuga Bin the choice.
Although she wasn't an all-around ninja, she was more than capable of teaching Hyuga Bin, who had just graduated.
"Then I'll learn Medical Ninjutsu," Hyuga Bin decided to accept Tsunade's plan.
Since Tsunade chose to teach him this, she clearly had her own considerations.
Moreover, Medical Ninjutsu was also something he wanted to learn. By mastering Medical Ninjutsu, he could heal his own and his teammates' injuries. The subsequent [Ninjutsu - Creation Rebirth] also required Medical Ninjutsu as a foundation.
As Tsunade pushed open the door, Kato Shizune, who was cleaning, came into Hyuga Bin's sight.
"Shizune, hello," Hyuga Bin greeted with a smile.
Kato Shizune was his schoolmate from the same year, so they naturally knew each other.
"Huh? Lord Tsunade, Bin-kun, hello." Kato Shizune was clearly a little surprised that Tsunade would bring Hyuga Bin home, her expression a bit dazed and cute.
At this time, Kato Shizune was still a shy little girl, and it would take several more years of growth before she could become the capable Medical-Special Jonin by Tsunade's side.
"Shizune, Bin-kun will be studying with you for a month," Tsunade said to Kato Shizune as she led Hyuga Bin into the courtyard.
"Okay, Lord Tsunade," Kato Shizune replied with a nod.
After speaking, Tsunade continued to lead Hyuga Bin into the living room and handed him her personally written medical handbook:
"This contains some basic knowledge for practicing Medical Ninjutsu. You can read it yourself these next few evenings."
"Okay, thank you, Lord Tsunade," Hyuga Bin took the handbook and put it into his ninja tool bag.
"Now, I'd like to ask, how much do you know about Medical Ninjutsu?"
"Medical Ninjutsu is a type of ninjutsu where the user stimulates cells with chakra to heal wounds. Through chakra nature transformation, it can also be used for detoxification and attack."
"Medical Ninjutsu requires a high level of chakra control, but I'm a ninja of the Hyuga Clan, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Hyuga Bin was quite familiar with the basic knowledge of Medical Ninjutsu.
Furthermore, the Hyuga Clan's pressure point techniques were a form of precise chakra control, although the direction of practice was different from Medical Ninjutsu.
"You're quite confident," Tsunade was amused by Hyuga Bin's confidence.
It wasn't until dusk that Hyuga Bin bid farewell to Tsunade and Kato Shizune, returning home with his head "full" of knowledge.
After dinner and washing up, Hyuga Bin began reading the handbook in his room.
As a transmigrator, Hyuga Bin had not slacked off for a single day, even with the system, and had been diligently training and learning.
It wasn't until late at night that Hyuga Bin turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Even as he closed his eyes, Hyuga Bin was still digesting the knowledge about Medical Ninjutsu.
A month passed quickly.
After a month of studying from dawn till dusk, Hyuga Bin had made initial progress in Medical Ninjutsu.
Moreover, with his extraordinary chakra control, he could already use the B-rank Medical Ninjutsu [Chakra Scalpel].
Compared to most Medical Chunin, Hyuga Bin only lacked some experience.
After all, Hyuga Bin's option missions over the past few years had not been in vain. Now, his talents in all aspects far surpassed those of ordinary ninjas, and learning ninjutsu below S-rank should not be too difficult.
Tsunade was truly impressed by Hyuga Bin's talent and had the thought of taking him as a disciple.
She had initially thought that this month would only be enough for Hyuga Bin to build a foundation, but he had surpassed her expectations by several times. This talent was even stronger than hers.
She recalled that it had taken her a full two months to master the Chakra Scalpel from when she first started learning Medical Ninjutsu.
On the afternoon of the day before his departure, after Tsunade finished her last lesson with Hyuga Bin, she gave him two scrolls.
"These are the scrolls for Mystical Palm Technique and the Creation Rebirth you've been hinting at. You can study them yourself from now on. Regarding Mystical Palm Technique, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the Konoha Hospital for guidance. There are still a few people there who can barely use Mystical Palm Technique..."
"Even if you learn Creation Rebirth, don't use it recklessly, because while Creation Rebirth restores your body, it consumes your life..."
Perhaps because it was nearing their farewell, Tsunade spoke much more than she had in the past month.
"Mhm, I understand," Hyuga Bin nodded repeatedly at Tsunade's words, but his expression was not as relaxed as usual.
The past month of close interaction had made him accustomed to Tsunade's teachings, and to occasionally joking with her. He had also come to regard Tsunade as a good friend.
This month had also allowed him to truly understand Tsunade, that she was not as he had previously imagined.
Now that I think about Tsunade leaving the village, she might not return for years, even decades.
To be honest, I'll really miss her.
"Alright, I need to pack my bags too." After saying what needed to be said, Tsunade gestured to Hyuga Bin.
"Lady Tsunade, I'll be going then." Hyuga Bin nodded, put away the scroll, and stood up, smiling at Kato Shizune as they spoke, "Shizune, you'll need to take good care of Lady Tsunade from now on."
"I will..."
"Hyuga Bin." As Hyuga Bin reached Tsunade's doorstep and opened the door, Tsunade's voice called out from behind them again.
Hyuga Bin turned around, listening to what sounded like a joking remark from Tsunade, "Don't you go dying too easily!"
"I'll wait until you return before I die."
Hyuga Bin curled their lips, revealing a brilliant smile.
"You idiot."
Tsunade also smiled along with Hyuga Bin.
Her smile bloomed like a flower.
