Minato Namikaze thought he misheard. "Teacher, you turned a blind eye when that guy was bullying the new student, but you got all fired up when I helped him?"
"Besides, he just threatened to kill me and said his brother would never let me off. Why didn't you say anything?"
"Regardless, you shouldn't have laid a hand on him, especially not in front of the teacher." The teacher continued to scold him.
"I understand!" Minato Namikaze nodded thoughtfully. "You're right, teacher."
Minato Namikaze sneered inwardly.
Brother was right. The kind are bullied, the good are ridden. People are unreasonable most of the time, caring nothing for right or wrong, only for self-interest. They compromise and back down when faced with someone tough, but they push their luck with those who are easygoing.
After speaking, Minato Namikaze used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Tanakahara Ni, looking down at him. "You piece of trash, if you dare speak disrespectfully or bully classmates again, I'll wait for you at the school gate every day."
"But don't worry, my brother is the best doctor in Konoha. As long as he doesn't beat you to death, he'll definitely cure you, for free."
With that, Minato Namikaze returned to his seat and said, "Teacher, I didn't lay a hand on him this time!"
"You..." The teacher felt his authority severely challenged, his chest heaving with anger. "Minato Namikaze, you've gone too far!"
"I've gone too far? Hahaha!"
"He insulted the new student right in front of you, and I insulted him right in front of you. He threatened me right in front of you, and I threatened him right in front of you. Is there any difference?" Minato Namikaze asked, feigning confusion.
"So he's not going too far, but I am?"
"You're siding with him so much, could it be that this guy's parents slipped you something?"
"How much did his parents give you? I'll have my brother give you ten times that. My brother is very wealthy."
Seeing the teacher so angry he couldn't speak, Minato Namikaze continued, "Ten times isn't enough? Then a hundred times. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"Shut up!" The teacher's veins bulged, clearly intending to teach Minato Namikaze a harsh lesson if he didn't stop.
However, as a teacher, he couldn't lay a hand on a student. He ultimately restrained himself and said fiercely, "Go and get your parents immediately!"
Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up, and he bolted towards Konoha Hospital.
I hope you can handle it when I call my people.
Brother said that if this involves Kushina, he'll drag Tsunade along too.
So he told me not to be afraid of escalating things.
Brother's exact words were: It would be best if no one bullied Kushina, but if someone does, make sure everyone knows she's someone they can't afford to mess with.
Seeing the teacher's attitude of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and openly playing favorites, Minato Namikaze understood Uchiha Dan's teachings even better.
The teacher is weak-willed. He'll compromise because Tanakahara Ni's family is unreasonable, and he'll let me suffer because my family is easygoing.
What about the Hokage?
Will they also compromise because other villages are unreasonable, and let Konoha's people suffer grievances because they are easygoing?
Minato Namikaze had heard that both the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, were incredibly domineering on critical issues, never compromising.
And under their leadership, Konoha became the undisputed strongest ninja village in the ninja world at the time.
There were also the past Raikages, who were synonymous with dominance. They never compromised over the years, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement, like lunatics.
As a result, Kumogakure became the village no one dared to offend.
Indeed, those who become Hokage must be domineering.
Compromise? What is that?
Half an hour later, Uchiha Dan and Tsunade appeared at the ninja academy together.
Upon seeing Tsunade, the homeroom teacher was stunned.
I clearly heard that Minato Namikaze was from a commoner background. Why would Lady Tsunade come?
Unexpectedly, Tsunade spoke first, her tone accusatory. "I heard my little sister was bullied, and you, the teacher, took bribes and didn't even intervene."
"Minato Namikaze stood up for my sister, and you lectured him instead?"
"Huh?" A chill ran down the homeroom teacher's spine.
That new student is Lady Tsunade's sister?
What the hell...
And I never took any bribes...
I just wanted to de-escalate the situation. After all, Tanakahara Ni's family isn't easy to deal with; they cause trouble at the slightest provocation.
And now, someone truly not to be trifled with has arrived.
"Go and bring my sister and that brat who bullied her here," Tsunade ordered unceremoniously. "I want to see who has the audacity to bully my sister."
Soon, Kushina and Tanakahara Ni arrived at the office.
Having been kicked away by Minato Namikaze, Tanakahara Ni immediately wanted to denounce Minato Namikaze's crimes upon entering. However, the first thing he saw was Tsunade's icy gaze.
The child didn't recognize Tsunade, but he was so intimidated by her imposing aura that he dared not speak.
This is way too damn scary.
"Are you the one who bullied my sister?" Tsunade asked, her voice icy after scrutinizing him for a long time.
"So what if it was me?" Yamata Haruji retorted stubbornly.
"Very well!" Tsunade chuckled angrily and said to Minato Namikaze, "Minato, this guy is yours from now on."
"Don't worry, Sister Tsunade!" Minato Namikaze grinned and said, "He'll be visiting Konoha Hospital quite often for the next month."
"Cough, cough..." Tsunade coughed for a while, startled. "That's not necessary. A week should be enough. Let's see if he learns his lesson."
A month... This is a rhythm that's meant to torment someone to death.
"You're bullying me!" Yamata Haruji immediately cried out in protest, "I'm definitely telling my parents, and my brother is a genin, he definitely won't let you off."
"Genin?" Minato Namikaze thought he misheard.
He always thought the brother Yamata Haruji kept mentioning was powerful, but this was what he was bragging about?
Anyone who successfully graduated from the Ninja Academy naturally became a genin, right?
Minato knew that his brother had been training with Sister Tsunade at a secret base recently, and his strength had surpassed Sister Tsunade's in just over a month.
Furthermore, Uchiha Dan had also demonstrated the Flying Thunder God to him and had been teaching him the theoretical knowledge of the Flying Thunder God for the past two months.
In Uchiha Dan's own words, no one in this village could threaten him one-on-one anymore.
Since birth, Uchiha Dan had never lied to Minato Namikaze, so Minato naturally believed his brother's words without question.
And yet, a genin...
If you were a legendary genin, I'd tolerate it, but you're just an ordinary genin.
You're the only one with a brother?
"Brother, if his brother comes, can I beat him to death?" Minato Namikaze asked excitedly.
Uchiha Dan, standing beside him, patted Minato Namikaze's head with a look of pride and said, "As a ninja of the village, if you attack a student from the Ninja Academy, as long as you don't kill them, you don't have to worry about anything."
"If his brother really comes, it'll be his brother's fault no matter how you look at it."
Uchiha Dan gave Minato Namikaze a look that said "do as you please," which made Minato Namikaze incredibly excited.
"You... I'll definitely tell my parents..." Yamata Haruji burst into tears, feeling incredibly wronged.
Tsunade, however, couldn't be bothered to deal with him. She crouched down and said gently to Kushina, "Kushina, listen carefully, I don't want to see you bullying your classmates."
"But if someone bullies you, you beat them to death."
"You do the beating, and Dan and I will do the healing. Just don't actually kill them."
