A Contrast

Amidst Tsunade's silence, Akiyama Shun went to assist in other wards.

However, due to his insufficient chakra reserves, he could not heal the wounded all at once. To save as many people as possible, he could only treat their fatal wounds first, ensuring they could hold on for a longer period.

The subsequent finishing work still had to be handled by other medical ninja.

For some of the wounded, after their fatal injuries were treated, he would specifically wipe the blood from their bodies and wrap them in bandages; those were reserved specifically for Tsunade.

In just a single afternoon, under such a high-load workload, Akiyama Shun's chakra hit rock bottom.

Fortunately, he had successfully treated all the fatal wounds.

After finishing everything, Akiyama Shun found a seat in the lobby and sat down to rest.

Soon, the day passed.

Tsunade finally finished her work as well.

"You brat, you're actually quite impressive."

Seeing Akiyama Shun again, Tsunade didn't know what to say for a moment.

The more geniuses she had seen, the more she could feel the terror of Akiyama Shun's potential.

"Thank you for the praise, Lady Tsunade. I know."

"Hahaha, you brat, you're not humble at all!"

Tsunade slapped Akiyama Shun on the shoulder boisterously.

Shizune, standing to the side, looked at Akiyama Shun with eyes shining; she had naturally heard others talking about him.

She had previously only known that Akiyama Shun had great talent in combat, but she hadn't expected his talent in medical ninjutsu to be this terrifying!

"Let's go, I'm treating you to a meal today!"

"Lady Tsunade, didn't you lose all your money?"

"Hahaha, didn't you bring me a lot this morning? Of course, I'm using your money to treat you."

"..."

Led by Tsunade, the three arrived at the izakaya she frequented most often.

Using the money Akiyama Shun had brought her, Tsunade threw money around like water, ordering a massive spread of food.

"So blissful~"

As Shizune ate, she felt like she was seeing her life flash before her eyes.

It had been a long time since she had eaten this well. Memories of the past—where Tsunade would be in debt, and she and Tonton would go out to scam money only for Tsunade to lose it all shortly after—flooded her mind.

It wasn't just Shizune; Tonton was also crying at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Akiyama Shun smiled.

After the meal, he and a helpless Shizune carried Tsunade back.

Afterward, Akiyama Shun returned to his own residence.

Over the next two months.

Akiyama Shun did not encounter any special events.

Every day was just school.

Well, and helping Tsunade earn money.

During these two months.

Akiyama Shun also performed two ten-pull draws.

After drawing, Akiyama Shun had 740 gold coins remaining.

Both were pity pulls; one gave 4 shards of the S-rank ninja [Jiraiya], and the other gave an A-rank [Sarutobi Konohamaru].

That's right, that brat who uses the Harem Technique.

There were several Secret Scroll shards, but none reached the 5 required to complete one.

There were no Ninja Tools or Summoning Beasts.

The B-rank [Hatake Kakashi (Youth)] had reached 28 shards, while [Haku] did not increase.

Among the C-rank ninjas, he obtained 6 shards of [Tsunade (Youth)], along with several other C-rank shards.

His luck exploded, allowing him to complete the shards for one C-rank ninja, and he even obtained a full C-rank card!

The C-rank ninja completed with shards was a total troll!

[Uzumaki Naruto (Ninja Academy)]!

Commonly known as the "Poop-Throwing Naruto"!

Naruto at this stage couldn't even use the Shadow Clone Technique, and he couldn't even master the basic Clone Technique.

He had no performance of the Sexy Technique, and his ultimate move was directly the Harem Technique...

One could only say he was useless.

However, the other C-rank ninja was different.

[Gekko Hayate]

The protagonist of the "kidney-deficient" look!

In the original work, Gekko Hayate was killed by Baki during the Chunin Exams after he stumbled upon a conspiracy between Baki and Yakushi Kabuto.

In the Naruto Mobile Game, this ninja did not have much of a display of ninjutsu.

He only possessed the Body Flicker Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique, both of which [Uchiha Itachi (Ninja Newcomer)] also had.

His own Transparent Escape was not showcased either.

However, the focus of the [Gekko Hayate] ninja was not on ninjutsu, but on swordsmanship!

The Naruto Mobile Game does not dictate that a C-rank ninja must be a Genin!

[Gekko Hayate] was a bona fide Special Jonin! He was even an Anbu operative!

If it were ninjutsu, Akiyama Shun would even have to consider whether his own chakra reserves were sufficient and how many times he could use it.

But swordsmanship was different; as long as he held a sword, he could use it!

In other words, this ninja represented the swordsmanship of a Special Jonin!

It could significantly enhance Akiyama Shun's close-quarters combat ability!

"Not bad~ and it even comes with a sword!"

Early morning.

Akiyama Shun and Yuhi Kurenai were on their way to school.

"Shun, I've already learned the Clone Technique, impressive right~"

"Very impressive. When I was your age, I didn't even know what I was doing."

Yuhi Kurenai was full of confusion upon hearing Akiyama Shun's words.

"Aren't I a year older than you?"

"That's exactly why I said that; I don't even know what I'll be doing a year from now."

"..."

While the two were playing around, they happened to run into Hatake Sakumo, who was taking Kakashi to school.

Hatake Sakumo also noticed the two and pulled the visibly reluctant Kakashi toward them.

As one of the peak achievements of the "Konoha commoners," Akiyama Shun had a very deep impression of this man.

Known as the "White Fang of Konoha," he was a ninja respected even by the Sannin.

As Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo naturally wore a cold expression, but in reality, he was quite the opposite.

He was both socially awkward and naturally airheaded.

The first time he met Might Duy and his son, he wanted to ask them to look after Kakashi, but he was so startled by Might Duy's "I can't do that" that he thought the man was difficult to get along with. It wasn't until his son Kakashi reminded him that he realized that "green creature" hadn't even passed the Ninja Academy entrance exam.

He was also the flamboyant inventor of the E-rank ninjutsu, the Konoha Secret Finger Jutsu: 1000 Years of Death.

"Lord White Fang!" X2

Although his mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, Akiyama Shun still politely greeted Hatake Sakumo alongside Yuhi Kurenai.

"So it's Akiyama Shun and Yuhi Kurenai. I've heard your names quite often, especially yours, Akiyama Shun. Even the Third Hokage has mentioned your performance at the Ninja Academy to me."

"You flatter me, Lord White Fang."

Akiyama Shun's expression remained natural; after all, he had performed so well that it was only normal to be praised.

However, in Hatake Sakumo's eyes, Akiyama Shun's composure upon receiving such praise only raised his estimation of the boy even further.

"By the way, please take good care of Kakashi while you're at school."

"Father! What are you saying! How could I possibly need him to look after me?"

Kakashi, who had been embarrassed to see Akiyama Shun after being dragged over by Hatake Sakumo, felt even more awkward upon hearing his father's words and hurriedly elbowed Hatake Sakumo's thigh twice.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi's expression and asked in confusion, "I see you staring at him every day after school, so I thought you really wanted to be friends with him."

"What are you talking about! That's not it at all!"

Kakashi's expression grew even more awkward. After elbowing him twice, he simply grabbed Hatake Sakumo's leg and intended to leave.

"Hahahaha!"

Hatake Sakumo rarely saw Kakashi with such an expression and was amused by him.

Akiyama Shun responded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Lord White Fang. Kakashi is my classmate; even if you didn't ask, I would still get along well with him."

"Then I can rest easy. See you next time!"

Seeing Kakashi like this, Hatake Sakumo didn't continue to tease him and left with Kakashi.

As they turned to leave, Akiyama Shun could clearly see that Kakashi seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Akiyama Shun turned his head to exchange a glance with Yuhi Kurenai, and both of them smiled.

Once they entered the school, it was time for class.

However, this lesson was a bit different.

Kazama Shinya did not lead them to the training grounds, but instead arrived at an open space where a lottery box sat in the center, alongside a weapon rack stocked with various ninja tools.

"Today is the practical combat exam!"
