Coach, I Want to Learn Medical Ninjutsu!

Uchiha Kurohane was a man who liked older women.

However, Uzumaki Mito was a bit too old, while Tsunade was just right.

And Uchiha Kurohane's dream was to become a man who stood among the Five Kage.

The first step was to become Tsunade's apprentice.

By apprenticing under Tsunade, he could not only fleece her—grinding for traits—but also be considered Sarutobi Hiruzen's grand-student, gaining his protection.

It was killing three birds with one stone!

Uchiha Kurohane withdrew his focus and looked at Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki was chasing and playing around with two of her own shadow clones.

This Little Tomato was actually playing with her own shadow clones.

No wonder Sasuke said the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique was a jutsu to drive away loneliness.

With the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique, one could play with oneself.

It was no wonder this jutsu was classified as a forbidden technique.

If everyone learned this jutsu, no one would ever get married.

As one of the Kushinas ran past him, Uchiha Kurohane grabbed her delicate, slender white arm.

"I just ate a pancake and I'm a bit thirsty. I'd like to go to your place for some water."

Kushina Uzumaki hadn't wanted to bring Uchiha Kurohane home before because she was worried that Uzumaki Mito would misunderstand if she saw him.

Since Uzumaki Mito had already seen him yesterday and he had even eaten at their house, Kushina Uzumaki had no more reservations.

With a poof, Kushina's two shadow clones vanished, and the Kushina whose hand was being held smiled and said, "Alright, let's go back and take a break."

As it turned out, Uchiha Kurohane had happened to grab the real Kushina Uzumaki.

She first went to the tree, picked up the pancake she hadn't finished earlier, and walked back home with Uchiha Kurohane while eating.

By now, the pancake had gone cold, and Kushina Uzumaki shoved the whole thing into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like a hamster.

Seeing her cute appearance, Uchiha Kurohane felt she had a real talent for swallowing, and he was full of anticipation for what she would be like when she grew up.

Kushina Uzumaki walked into the main hall first, froze for a moment after locking eyes with Tsunade, then swallowed the food in her mouth and ran over excitedly.

"Big sister, you're back!"

"Are you hurt?"

Tsunade rubbed her head dotingly and replied with a smile, "I'm a medical ninja; even if I were hurt, I could heal myself, so you don't need to worry."

Uchiha Kurohane followed her inside and saw Tsunade head-on.

Tsunade's features were exquisite, her gaze stern, and she radiated a heroic spirit. She looked very young and was a stunningly beautiful girl.

Coupled with her hot figure and revealing outfit, she was truly incredibly charming.

In particular, that slender waist wrapped in fishnet lining and those snow-white long legs were truly soul-stirring.

Noticing Uchiha Kurohane's burning gaze, Tsunade asked, "Who are you?"

Kushina Uzumaki introduced him, looking slightly shy. "His name is Uchiha Kurohane. He's my classmate and also my friend."

Tsunade frowned slightly. "A member of the Uchiha Clan, huh..."

Tsunade had a strong personality and disliked arrogant people.

The Uchiha Clan happened to be the most arrogant people in all of Konoha, and with the discord between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha high command, Tsunade had a very poor impression of Uchiha clansmen.

However, Tsunade was also worried that Kushina wouldn't be able to integrate into Konoha or find friends.

Knowing she had a friend, she felt secretly happy for her.

Kushina Uzumaki looked triumphantly at Uchiha Kurohane. "Kurohane, her name is Tsunade. She is a descendant of the Senju Clan and is known as a princess!"

Uchiha Kurohane walked excitedly in front of Tsunade. "So you're the legendary Tsunade. I'm a fan of yours; I've wanted to meet you for a long time."

Tsunade widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, a look of confusion on her face.

At this time, Tsunade wasn't famous yet; she only became famous after the battle with Hanzo and earning the title of Sannin.

Even with the recent reports of victory from the front lines, Orochimaru and Jiraiya were more well-known.

Tsunade couldn't understand why she would have a fan.

"Are you a fan of mine? Why?"

"You are Konoha's strongest medical ninja. Not only can you heal your teammates, but you can also fight on the front lines. You are an all-rounder who can both fight and heal!"

"You pioneered the combat medical ninja, effectively launching a revolution for medical ninjas!"

Uchiha Kurohane felt that the term "combat medical ninja" was too clunky; "violent healer" would be much more fitting.

However, the word "healer" was a bit unrefined, and he couldn't bring himself to say it in front of three women.

Before hearing these words, Tsunade had no idea she was that impressive, and she stood there stunned in surprise.

"An all-rounder? I pioneered a medical ninja revolution?"

After thinking it over, she realized Uchiha Kurohane wasn't wrong; it was the truth. She began to feel a bit lightheaded and said bashfully, "You're exaggerating too much. I'm not that strong."

Uchiha Kurohane agreed with Tsunade's assessment. The Sannin couldn't even defeat Hanzo when they teamed up, so they really weren't that strong yet.

"I want to become a medical ninja, to help share the burden with my teammates and fight against enemies. That's why I admire you so much. Sister Tsunade, you are my idol for life!"

Uchiha Kurohane's expression was incredibly sincere, as if it came from the bottom of his heart, without a hint of falsehood.

Tsunade felt inexplicably moved, as well as a little shy.

Her snow-white cheeks turned slightly red, and she asked bashfully, "Are you serious? Learning medical ninjutsu takes up a lot of time, which means less time for training in combat ninjutsu, and your combat effectiveness will be greatly compromised."

"Besides, you'll become a priority target for enemies on the battlefield. It's very dangerous, which is why no one wants to be a medical ninja."

Uchiha Kurohane thought Tsunade's words made sense.

Take Rin Nohara, for example.

At the time, the so-called dead-last Obito could still engage enemies, but Rin Nohara had absolutely no ability to resist and was easily captured.

Without a doubt, she was the true dead-last.

The fundamental reason was that she spent all her time practicing medical ninjutsu.

Instead of being a medical ninja to save teammates and putting oneself in danger, it was better to train in ninjutsu and taijutsu to improve one's own strength and ensure one's own survival.

This was the reason why no one was willing to be a medical ninja.

Even if someone were willing to be a medical ninja, they wouldn't want to join a four-man squad and go to the front lines of the war.

On the other hand, the rule for medical ninjas was that they could not directly participate in combat.

It was equivalent to losing a combatant; adding a medical ninja to a team actually forced the teammates to fight outnumbered.

That was why Sarutobi Hiruzen had rejected Tsunade's proposal to equip every squad with a medical ninja at the time.

Even after Tsunade became Hokage, she didn't implement it herself.

Don't look at Sakura and Ino knowing medical ninjutsu; they sought Tsunade out to learn it themselves.

If they didn't want to learn, Tsunade wouldn't force them.

The other two squads didn't have medical ninjas either.

Hinata knowing medical ninjutsu was an anime original; in the manga, she actually didn't know it.

In the squad Shikamaru organized to pursue Sasuke, Tsunade didn't require them to bring a medical ninja either.

Even in the later stages, it was just Tsunade, Sakura, and Katsuyu healing the entire battlefield, while other medical ninjas simply vanished.

Even Shizune wasn't qualified to go to the front lines.

Medical ninjutsu? Not even a dog would learn that!

Uchiha Kurohane certainly didn't want to learn it, but in order to become Tsunade's apprentice, he had to say he wanted to.

"I want to save people, I want to save the ninja world, so I want to learn medical ninjutsu."

"Sister Tsunade, please teach me!"

"I want to learn medical ninjutsu!"
