"I knew it!!"
"Jingyi Hyuga!! Look what you've done!!"
The furious Lady Tsunade stormed into the break room and kicked the door open:
"Kushina was mocked by her classmates, so she beat them up. She even knocked out their front teeth! The old man told me to handle it—how am I supposed to handle this?"
"There's still a pile of crap waiting for me at the Medical Department. Not only are you not helping, you're making more trouble for me!"
Jingyi, who was changing clothes in the break room, calmly put on his white coat before asking:
"Kushina got mocked by her classmates on her first day of school. Was she wrong to hit back?"
You're allowed to mock me, but I'm not allowed to hit you, is that it?
Where was there such a good deal in the world?
Jingyi wasn't bragging—throughout the entire Konoha school, only Nawaki could compare to Kushina when it came to backing. Everyone else had to step aside, even children from major clans.
With such powerful backing, what was there to be afraid of?
What left Jingyi the most speechless was that Kushina had such backing, yet she kept getting bullied at school.
She was mocked and bullied by her classmates. When she finally couldn't take it anymore and fought back, she was even retaliated against by the other party's older brother. He really didn't know who had given him the nerve.
What a joke.
"..."
Tsunade's blood pressure began to rise from anger. "She even threatened the teacher, saying her sister was Tsunade! The teacher didn't dare touch her at all."
"That's right. Aren't you her sister?" Jingyi spread his hands. "So when nothing happens, you're Sister Tsunade, but when something does happen, you're not her sister anymore?"
"I fucking..."
Lady Tsunade nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Go to the Ninja Academy right now and settle this."
"You caused this mess yourself. You deal with it."
Tsunade felt like her head was about to explode.
Things at the hospital were manageable, but the Medical Department was drowning in problems. Because of F4's reforms, everyone in the department was running around frantically.
Tsunade didn't have much time to deal with anything else.
"I'm not going. Kushina isn't my little sister."
Jingyi decisively refused the job.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help Kushina. It was just that if he showed up for this sort of dispute, the other party definitely wouldn't let it go easily, even if he went as Tsunade's representative.
He couldn't exactly go threaten someone else's parents, could he?
Kushina had beaten up their son, so the parents came demanding an explanation—was he supposed to beat up the parents too?
"You taught her to use her fists, but you won't go?"
Tsunade really wanted to hit someone.
"If she doesn't use her fists, is she supposed to wait around to be bullied?"
Jingyi looked at Tsunade in confusion.
What kind of thought process was that? Did they really think this would make it easier for Kushina to fit into the village?
They might have thought children fighting was no big deal, but other people didn't see it that way.
They bullied Kushina at school, and after an enraged Kushina beat them up, they immediately called their family over to help. They had no shame at all.
"Lady Tsunade, Jingyi, there's a patient outside..."
A young nurse ran to the break room door.
Jingyi immediately headed outside. "Coming, coming! I'll take this patient. No one better fight me for them!!"
Go to the Ninja Academy and argue with people?
No way. This was something Lady Tsunade had to handle personally. Only she had enough intimidation factor when she showed up herself.
Just you wait. I'll deal with you sooner or later.
After glaring viciously at Jingyi's retreating back, Tsunade speechlessly threw the stack of documents in her hands onto the table. She turned and left the hospital, heading for the Ninja Academy.
"Who are this child's parents? I want to have a proper talk with them. What did my son do wrong for her to hit him so hard?"
His son had been beaten up, and Little Honda's father, Old Honda, was furious. He rushed straight to the Ninja Academy, hoping the teacher would give him an explanation.
"Please don't be angry. This wasn't entirely Kushina's fault." Sarutobi Muyu, who had returned to school from the hospital, felt his head throbbing.
Something like this had happened in his class, so naturally the other party's parents had come to find him first.
"Kushina, hurry up and apologize to Little Honda's father."
While soothing the other man, Sarutobi Muyu also demanded that Kushina apologize.
"I won't." Kushina raised her chin and turned her head aside. Jingyi was right—brats like these deserved to be beaten hard with fists.
Kushina didn't think she had done anything wrong either.
My dear ancestor, can't you just apologize first?
When Kushina refused to apologize, Sarutobi Muyu felt like dying. Why had this kind of crap landed on his head?
It was over!
This year's Outstanding Teacher Award definitely wouldn't be his, and his year-end bonus would go down the drain too.
"Teacher Muyu, look at her. This little brat has no manners at all." Old Honda was so angry he could barely speak coherently.
"Mr. Honda, please don't be angry. You..."
Bang!!
Sarutobi Muyu was trying his best to calm him down when someone forcefully shoved open the office door. It slammed heavily into the wall, startling everyone inside.
Who was that? So rude.
His body trembling instinctively, Sarutobi Muyu looked toward the door in displeasure.
But when he saw who was standing there, all his dissatisfaction vanished. His face instantly changed into a smile as he hurried forward to greet her. "Lady Tsunade, why have you come here personally?"
It was over. Sister Tsunade had come herself.
Kushina lowered her little head guiltily, not daring to look at Tsunade.
"My little sister was bullied on her first day of school. Can't I come here and demand an explanation?" Tsunade walked into the office with an expressionless face.
An explanation?
Sarutobi Muyu opened his mouth, desperately wanting to say: The problem is that Kushina was the one who hit someone.
"Were you the one who just said my little sister had no manners?"
Tsunade walked up to Old Honda and glared at him with an unfriendly look.
Who the fuck are you? Do you think you get to point fingers at whether my little sister has manners?
"No, no, it was a misunderstanding..."
Old Honda had gone dumb the moment Tsunade entered the office.
In Konoha, the Third Hokage and Tsunade were the best-known figures. Most people recognized them. One was the current Hokage, while the other was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Senju Clan, the Hokage's disciple, and Konoha's princess officially bestowed with the title by the daimyo.
It was hard not to know them.
My son actually bullied Lady Tsunade's little sister?
That damned brat. Once they got home, he would definitely give him a proper beating.
Tsunade frowned at the sweating Old Honda. "Your son got beaten up. Don't you want an explanation anymore?"
"No, no." Old Honda forced a nervous smile. "That brat was completely out of line. He actually bullied a classmate at school. I'll make sure to educate him properly. Please rest assured, Lady Tsunade, something like this will never happen again."
"It's good that it won't. I thought I'd have to let my little brother go to the lower-grade classroom and have a talk with him. Looks like you're quite sensible."
Not bad. He knew what was good for him.
Standing to the side, Sarutobi Muyu watched Old Honda repeatedly bow and nod, unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes.
