Hope You Can Take It When I Bring Someone; Just Don't Kill Him

Namikaze Minato thought he must have misheard. "Teacher, you turned a blind eye when that guy bullied the new student. But when I helped the new student, you suddenly got all fired up?"

"And he just said he was going to kill me, and that his older brother wouldn't let me get away with it. Why didn't you do anything about that?"

"No matter what, it was wrong of you to use force, especially right in front of me," the teacher continued, scolding him.

"I understand!" Namikaze Minato nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, teacher."

Minato sneered inwardly.

His older brother was right. The kind got bullied, and the gentle got ridden.

People often didn't care about reason or right and wrong. They only cared about what benefited them and what they needed to avoid.

They backed down and gave in when faced with someone tough, but pushed their luck when someone was easy to deal with.

With that, Namikaze Minato used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Tanaka Genji. Looking down at him, he said, "You piece of trash, if you ever run your mouth or bully a classmate again, I'll wait for you at the school gate every day."

"But don't worry. My older brother is the best doctor in Konoha. As long as I don't beat you to death, he'll patch you right up. For free."

Then Namikaze Minato returned to his seat. "Teacher, I didn't lay a finger on him this time!"

"You..." The teacher felt his authority had been seriously challenged. His chest heaved with anger. "Namikaze Minato, you've gone too far!"

"Me? Too far? Hahaha!"

"He humiliated the new student right in front of you, so I humiliated him right in front of you. He threatened me right in front of you, so I threatened him right in front of you. What's the difference?" Namikaze Minato asked in confusion.

"So he didn't go too far, but I did?"

"You're taking his side so much. Did his parents give you some kind of bribe?"

"How much did his parents give you? I'll get my brother to give you ten times that. My brother's loaded."

Seeing that the teacher was too angry to speak, Namikaze Minato continued, "Ten times isn't enough? Then a hundred times. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

"Shut up!" The teacher's veins bulged, and he looked ready to give Namikaze Minato a harsh beating at the slightest provocation.

But as a teacher, he couldn't lay a hand on a student. In the end, he held himself back and growled, "Go get your parents here immediately!"

Namikaze Minato was delighted. He took off running toward Konoha Hospital.

I hope you can take it when I bring someone. Just don't kill him.

His older brother had said that if anything involved Kushina, he'd bring Tsunade along too.

That was why he'd told Namikaze Minato not to be afraid of making a scene.

His older brother's exact words had been: It'd be best if nobody bullies Kushina. But if anyone does, make sure everyone sees that she's someone they can't afford to mess with.

Seeing the teacher openly favor Tanaka Genji and pick on the weak, Namikaze Minato understood Uchiha Dan's teachings even better.

The teacher was a coward. He'd give in because Tanaka Genji's family was domineering and unreasonable, and he'd let Namikaze Minato suffer because his family was easy to deal with.

What about the Hokage?

Would he give in when other villages acted domineering and unreasonable, and let Konoha's people suffer for no reason because they were easy to deal with?

Namikaze Minato had heard that both the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had been utterly unyielding when it came to crucial matters. They never compromised.

Under their leadership, Konoha had become the undisputed strongest village in the Shinobi World.

And the Raikages of every generation were the very definition of domineering. They'd never compromised with other villages over the years, and would attack at the slightest disagreement, like madmen.

As a result, Kumogakure had become the village everyone was most afraid to offend.

Sure enough, anyone who wanted to become Hokage had to be domineering.

Compromise? What was that supposed to be?

Half an hour later, Uchiha Dan and Tsunade arrived at the Ninja Academy together.

When the teacher saw Tsunade, he was stunned.

I'd clearly heard Namikaze Minato came from a civilian family. Why is Lord Tsunade here?

Tsunade spoke first, looking as if she'd come to demand an explanation. "I heard my little sister was bullied, and you, her teacher, did nothing because you'd taken a dirty bribe."

"Namikaze Minato stood up for my little sister, but you scolded him instead?"

"Huh?" A chill ran down the teacher's spine.

That new student is Lord Tsunade's little sister?

I'm so screwed...

And I've never taken a dirty bribe, okay?

He'd only wanted to keep the peace. After all, Yamada Genji's family was not to be trifled with; they were always causing trouble.

But now, someone who was truly untouchable had shown up.

"Go bring my little sister and the boy who bullied her here," Tsunade said bluntly. "I want to see who's bold enough to bully my little sister."

Soon, Kushina and Yamada Genji arrived at the office.

The moment he walked in, the boy Namikaze Minato had kicked across the room wanted to complain about Minato. But the first thing he saw was Tsunade's icy stare.

The child didn't recognize Tsunade, but her terrifying presence left him too scared to speak.

This is freaking terrifying.

"So you're the brat who bullied my little sister?" After scrutinizing him for a long while, Tsunade spoke in a cold voice.

"So what if I am?" Yamada Genji replied defiantly.

"Good!" Tsunade laughed in anger and said to Minato, "Minato, I'm leaving this guy to you from now on."

"Don't worry, Sister Tsunade!" Namikaze Minato grinned. "He'll be going to Konoha Hospital pretty often over the next month."

"Ahem..." Tsunade was so startled that she coughed for a while. "That's not necessary. A week will do. Let's see if he learns his lesson first."

A month... At that rate, he'd be worked over until he was dead.

"You're bullying me!" Yamada Genji immediately burst into tears and complained. "I'll tell my parents, and my older brother is a Genin. He won't let you get away with this!"

"A Genin?" Namikaze Minato thought he must have misheard.

He'd always assumed Yamada Genji's older brother was someone impressive. And this was what he was bragging about?

All you had to do was graduate from the Ninja Academy, and you became a Genin. What was there to brag about?

Minato knew that his older brother had been training with Sister Tsunade at a secret base lately, and in just over a month, he'd become stronger than her.

On top of that, Uchiha Dan had shown him the Flying Thunder God and spent the past two months teaching him the theory behind it.

According to Uchiha Dan, there was no one left in the village who could threaten him in a one-on-one fight.

Uchiha Dan had never lied to Namikaze Minato, not once, so Minato naturally believed his older brother completely.

And all he had was a Genin...

If he were some legendary Genin, Minato might have let it slide. But he was just an utterly ordinary Genin.

You think you're the only one with an older brother?

"Big Brother, if his older brother shows up, can I beat him half to death?" Namikaze Minato asked eagerly.

Beside him, Uchiha Dan lowered his head and patted Namikaze Minato's hair with a satisfied smile. "As a shinobi of the village, if he attacks a student at the Ninja Academy, you have nothing to worry about as long as you don't kill him."

"If his older brother really shows up, then no matter how you look at it, he'll be the one in the wrong."

Uchiha Dan gave Namikaze Minato a look that said, Do whatever you want. Minato was thrilled.

"You... I'll tell my parents!" Yamada Genji burst into tears, feeling terribly aggrieved.

But Tsunade couldn't be bothered with him. She crouched down and spoke gently to Kushina. "Kushina, listen carefully. I don't want to see you bullying your classmates."

"But if anyone bullies you, beat them half to death."

"You do the beating, and Dan and I will handle the treatment. Just don't actually kill them."
