Chapter 13

But before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish speaking, he sensed that Tsunade seemed to have regained her strength.

Was he imagining it? Had he been so busy lately that he was seeing things?

Hiruzen Sarutobi began to doubt himself.

"Old man, what's wrong?" Tsunade asked, feigning confusion. She knew what her teacher had been about to ask.

"Nothing. I must be tired lately. I'm even imagining things." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly.

Tsunade smiled back and said nothing.

Her attention was entirely on the system. What had just happened told her there was more to it than she had thought.

"System, who made you?" Tsunade asked.

"The system will not answer. The Host only needs to know that, with the system's help, you will become the greatest healer."

"What's a healer? Why should I become the greatest healer? Shouldn't I become the strongest Ninja?"

Tsunade did not know what the system meant by "healer," but instinct told her something was wrong.

"And why do I have to marry that Uchiha Yin to become the greatest healer? Come on, I'm at least seven years older than him!"

"Besides, he's from the Uchiha Clan. Don't you know the Uchiha Clan and our Senju Clan have practically been enemies for generations?"

Tsunade calmed herself and questioned the system inwardly.

"Ding. The Host has too many questions. The system will answer only some of them."

"A healer is a Medical Ninja. And if you become Uchiha Yin's wife, I'm sure he won't mind."

Having delivered that answer with complete seriousness, the system fell silent.

"That's it? That's all you've got?"

"That's all. Wasn't the explanation detailed enough?"

"He might not mind, but I do! Have you given any thought to how I feel? Whose system are you, anyway?"

Tsunade could no longer stay calm. She roared inwardly.

Chapter 9: All It Takes Is Completing the Mission

Before long, Uchiha Yin's entire file lay on Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk.

Uchiha Yin was the son of Uchiha Ping, the former Fifth Elder of the Uchiha Clan, and Uchiha Yan. After both his parents died on a mission, he was taken into the home of Uchiha Zhi, Uchiha Ping's older brother and the clan's Third Elder.

Uchiha Yin also had an older cousin, Uchiha Mikoto, who had graduated from the Ninja Academy the year before.

On the surface, Uchiha Zhi and Uchiha Ping had both belonged to the Uchiha Clan's Hawk Faction. In truth, they belonged to the Dove Faction. Both were followers of Kagami Uchiha and leaned toward the Hokage Lineage.

Uchiha Ping and Uchiha Yan had spoiled their son so much that he developed a nasty personality. He often bullied weaker classmates, looked down on everyone, and believed that being a member of the Uchiha Clan made him superior.

If Uchiha Ping and Uchiha Zhi were members of the Dove Faction, then Uchiha Yin was the very model of a budding Uchiha hawk.

That was why Uchiha Yin and Uchiha Mikoto did not get along.

Yet Uchiha Yin lacked the strength to match his attitude. His talent was somewhat lacking, and his grades at the Ninja Academy were below average.
