Tsunade is Also a Flat-Chested Girl

"That said, while one must hide their true strength on the surface, secret training cannot stop."

Uchiha Nagi frowned. If he were to delay his own growth just to keep a low profile, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Regardless of the time, strength is the only guarantee of everything.

Even with a golden thigh like Namikaze Minato to lean on, there is no guarantee that the other party will always be able to help him.

Ultimately, there are some things only he can resolve himself.

Therefore, some necessary training can begin, such as chakra control.

Tree climbing, water walking, oil walking, weighted oil walking, and so on...

If that is still not enough, Uchiha Nagi can even go to the hospital to secretly learn some basic medical ninjutsu.

As everyone knows, medical ninjutsu has extremely high requirements for chakra control, making it perfect for practicing such skills.

Besides that, he also needs to copy some useful ninjutsu.

And taijutsu; for the sake of his chakra reserves, he needs to train that more as well.

After all, if he cannot obtain a treasure like Hashirama Cells, the only way to increase his chakra volume is to strengthen his physique.

Just like Might Guy, who possesses a chakra level as high as 10 points as an ordinary person, while Hatake Kakashi only has 7.

"Thinking about it, there really is so much to do..."

Uchiha Nagi sighed, but for the sake of a better future, being tired now is better than dying in the wilderness due to a lack of strength.

In the time that followed.

Uchiha Nagi began his training according to plan.

Just as he had thought, his talent for chakra control was quite good; he had perfectly mastered tree climbing and water walking, and had even completed most of the oil walking.

As for ninjutsu, Uchiha Nagi's harvest was not particularly large.

He had already tested his affinities.

The Fire affinity goes without saying; if he didn't have it, he would be too embarrassed to call himself a member of the Uchiha Clan.

What surprised him slightly was that, in addition to Fire, he also possessed Lightning and Wind affinities, essentially packing the affinities of the two main protagonists into one.

It could be said that he could learn and master all the ninjutsu Naruto and Sasuke used before the Six Paths era, which was certainly good news.

It is just a pity that in these past few days, he hadn't been able to copy many usable ninjutsu.

In his current state, being able to use D-rank ninjutsu is already decent; using a single C-rank ninjutsu basically drains his chakra entirely, let alone B-rank ones.

The only ninjutsu he had copied were the D-rank Body Flicker Technique and... the Uchiha Clan's signature Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.

Currently, he had yet to find a way to copy the Shadow Clone Jutsu he longed for.

However, Uchiha Nagi was not in a rush. With his current chakra levels, even if he copied the Shadow Clone Jutsu, he wouldn't be able to sustain it to attend school in his place.

It wasn't that he couldn't use it—due to the nature of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, it doesn't consume much chakra—the difficulty lies in the duration of maintenance afterward.

If he wants to use it safely, he must wait at least a while longer, until his body continues to develop and his chakra volume has increased significantly.

"In any case, things are moving in a positive direction."

Uchiha Nagi stretched, then looked at the empty courtyard once more, locked the gate, and headed toward the school.

Uchiha Eri had returned a few times these past days, but she only rested at home for less than a day before leaving again.

The ninja profession is indeed lucrative, but the expenses are not low either.

If you want to go on missions, you can't be without your own equipment, right?

Take shuriken, for example; even if you can recover some, they are still consumables. Then there are bandages, military rations, wire, and so on, all of which must be prepared at all times.

Moreover, the materials for ninja tools that can withstand a ninja's usage cannot be of poor quality.

Therefore, while ninjas earn a lot, the necessary expenses are equally high. Sometimes, if one is severely injured, the money earned might not even cover the medical costs...

A ninja is forever a profession that licks blood from the edge of a blade.

And they are already doing quite well in a major hidden village like Konoha; those who come from a "wild" background have it even worse.

"After school, I'll go to the back mountain and carry a rock back."

Uchiha Nagi sighed. Professional weighted gear exists, but given his current situation, it's better to save where he can.

Even if the effect is slightly worse, it shouldn't be by much.

"Good morning, Nagi." Namikaze Minato greeted him first upon seeing Uchiha Nagi.

"Morning, Minato. You always arrive quite early every day," Uchiha Nagi said lazily, slumped over his desk.

Namikaze Minato chuckled without answering. He and Uchiha Nagi could be considered two extremes.

He arrived very early for class every day, while Uchiha Nagi usually waited until the very last moment to step into the classroom.

And even when he did arrive, he was always in a listless state.

"Nonsense, you have to enjoy life, you know? If I didn't have to attend class or train, I would love to sleep until I wake up naturally every single day."

Uchiha Nagi grumbled inwardly; he hadn't managed to achieve his dream of lying flat in his past life, and it seemed he couldn't realize it in this one either.

But he believed that he would definitely be able to achieve it in the future!

"Nagi, I heard there's a new student joining our class today." With class time fast approaching, Namikaze Minato thought for a moment before deciding to share the gossip he'd heard.

"Hm? A new student?"

Uchiha Nagi was taken aback, his spirits instantly lifting. Had it already reached this point in time?

If he wasn't mistaken, this new student would be the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina.

However, what did that have to do with him?

Although Uzumaki Kushina was one of the major goddesses of the Naruto series, she was... currently just a little girl.

He couldn't possibly develop feelings for a six-year-old girl; he preferred mature women like Tsunade or Mei Terumi...

Besides, her canonical partner was Namikaze Minato. It wouldn't be right to cling to Minato's coattails while simultaneously stealing his destined partner, would it?

Even though Namikaze Minato didn't know any of this, and even if he did steal her away, Minato wouldn't start targeting him over it.

But he wasn't some perverted blonde character from an H-manga; doing something like that would be truly heartless.

Unless he didn't plan on clinging to Minato's coattails, in which case he could compete fairly at this point in time.

But after weighing all the factors, he decided it was best to forget it.

Not to mention that he didn't like children, Uzumaki Kushina's status as the prospective Nine-Tails Jinchuriki wasn't something an Uchiha like him should be getting close to.

Although the Uchiha's Sharingan was incredibly useful, that identity still came with significant restrictions within Konoha.

Shaking his head, Uchiha Nagi suddenly thought of something and froze.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, at this point in time, isn't Tsunade also as flat as an airport?"
