In the future, the famous hand-made ramen has not yet appeared. At this time, hand-made noodles are still a little kid, and he can only follow his father's butt and beat him.

To be honest, his father's hand-beating skills are just that.

It's edible, but not very delicious.

After eating ramen, shopping around, and buying some clothes, Shigeru went home.

When he walked to a small park some distance away from the Hyuga tribe, he stopped.

Two ninjas wearing Anbu costumes stopped him.

"Hyuga Shigeru, Danzo-sama invites you."

Danzo?

What is this old guy doing with me?

Is it because he is talented and wants to win him over, or is Kushina the reason and he's here to warn him?

After thinking about it, Shigeru turned around and walked toward the small park.

The park was very quiet, with only Danzo alone.

"Hyuga, do you know what you are doing?"

"???"

Shimura Danzo took the lead.

Shigeru blinked his eyes blankly, tilted his head and thought for a while. After the atmosphere created by Danzo dissipated a little, he spoke:

"I don't know what Danzo-sama is talking about, but I think as a member of Konoha, I have the right to go shopping, eat ramen, and buy clothes."

Is this what I'm specifically talking about?

You are pretending to be stupid, right?

"Hyuga Shigeru, stay away from Kushina, Nine Tails Jinchūriki is not someone you should be associating with."

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Since Shigeru was pretending to be clueless, Danzo made the matter clear.

"Oh, okay."

Shigeru answered seriously.

Because he really never sought out Kushina. It was Kushina who took the initiative to approach him, or Tsunade brought her along.

Tsk tsk tsk, if you have the ability, go to Tsunade, or Uzumaki Mito.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Shigeru turned around and left.

Danzo, who stayed where he was, looked confused.

This guy seemed to have agreed, but something didn't feel right.

And the reaction was too calm.

Could it be...

Shimura Danzo's face became increasingly ugly as he began to think about it.

"Damn it! Why, she's just an old..."

Realizing that his words were a bit disrespectful, Danzo quickly stopped.

During this period, Danzo was far less arrogant than later.

At this time, he was just a Hokage assistant with no power in his hands and full of ambition in his heart.

He had not even developed his roots, nor had he been decentralized by the Third Hokage.

At this point, Shigeru didn't need to worry about what Danzo would do to him.

And he had backers.

Neither the Hyuga clan nor Tsunade would allow Danzo to lay a hand on Shigeru.

Shimura Danzo could only shout, so what was there to be afraid of?

His last name wasn't Uchiha.

You warned me not to get close to Kushina and I promised you.

Anyway, it was Kushina who took the initiative to approach me, so go ahead and be mad! Are you angry?

"Hahaha...."

Walking out of the park, Shigeru burst out laughing.

Shimura Danzo, who was still in the park, heard the sound and found it very grating.

Hyuga Shigeru!

Just wait for me!

Don't think that with the Hyuga clan and Uzumaki Mito as your backers, you can continue to be arrogant. Your backers will fall.

Shigeru didn't care much about whether his backers would fall.

Shimura Danzo was unlikely to rise in a short period of time.

As long as I rise before you, Danzo, you are nothing.

Early the next morning, Shigeru arrived at Konoha Hospital early.

Tsunade was on duty yesterday and didn't go home, so she simply took Shigeru to get acquainted with the place and the people.

After all, Shigeru had been at the hospital for a long time, and he was already well-known.

This was just a formality.

"It's true that I'm so kind to you. You still have some conscience and know how to bring me something to eat."

After not sleeping all night, Tsunade was now hungry and sleepy.

"I won't talk nonsense about what to do, how to receive patients, and how to treat them. The scroll of strange power you want to learn is in the closet. You can get it later. After learning it, return it to me directly. Don't leave it at the hospital."

After warning Shigeru, Tsunade prepared to retreat.

As for the strange power technique, it was the reward she had promised to Shigeru before. As long as he successfully passed the medical ninja test, she would give him a scroll and let him learn it.

"Wait."

Shigeru stopped Tsunade, who was about to run off.

"What are you doing?" Tsunade wiped her mouth and said with a displeased look on her face, "You don't want me to sleep in the lounge, do you?"

"No, no, you go back to sleep."

Shigeru waved his hand and said, "I just want to say that our Hokage assistant came to me last night and warned me to stay away from Kushina, the Nine Tails Jinchūriki, so now I'm in a bit of a dilemma."

"That old thing!"

Tsunade couldn't help but curse, "Don't pay attention to him. I'll go find Grandma myself. How we got along with Kushina before, we will continue to do so in the future."

Danzo, you're overstepping.

Looking at Tsunade who left angrily, Shigeru smiled secretly.

If you have a backer and don't rely on it, what's the point of having a backer?

Should I just accept being warned?

I'll just go straight to complain.

After returning home, Tsunade immediately told Uzumaki Mito about the incident.

"Grandma, this Danzo has gone too far. He wants to interfere in everything. He has not given up on imprisoning Kushina. It's simply too much!"

"You go and rest. I will handle this matter myself."

Uzumaki Mito's face was calm, making it hard to tell whether she was angry or indifferent.

"Okay, I'm going to bed first. I'm exhausted. It's really hard to stay up all night."

Uzumaki Mito decided to step in and handle things herself, and Tsunade no longer worried about these trifles. The main reason was that she had no good way to deal with Danzo. At most, she could lose her temper and scold him.

For Shimura Danzo, such scolding had no real effect.

But it was different when Uzumaki Mito took action personally.
