Chapter 29: The First Time the Will of Fire Was Transmitted to Tsunade
Uzumaki Kushina.
A familiar name quickly surfaced in Yuuki's mind.
He was somewhat surprised to see Tsunade walking casually through the Uchiha streets with Kushina, a potential Jinchuriki.
Aren't you afraid of stress affecting Danzo Shimura?
This is going to drive Sarutobi Hiroto crazy!
No, that's not right.
It is estimated that the Senju family has not reached a consensus and has not yet selected a candidate for Jinchūriki.
Is your visit at this time a sign that the hospital is in trouble and you can no longer stay?
Yuuki had a general idea.
"Lady Tsunade?"
Yuuki opened the door, feigning surprise.
"Aren't you welcome?"
As Tsunade replied, she grabbed Kushina's hand and squeezed into the room.
"Of course not, it's just strange that Lady Tsunade has time to visit our home."
Tsunade was completely at ease, sitting casually on the sofa. Kushina, like a little shadow, curiously looked around the room, sniffing the air with her little nose.
"It's all your fault." Tsunade grumbled, running her fingers through her hair. "You have no idea what I went through this morning! From the moment I left home, people I hadn't greeted in years all lined up to say hello! And they were all pleading on behalf of the hospital staff!"
"They're getting anxious, they're getting anxious." Yuuki smiled gently and placed the tea on the table. "The more anxious the enemy is, the more it means we've done the right thing!"
“That’s not wrong.” Tsunade snorted, took a sip of tea, and pulled the short man over: “This is my sister.”
In her words, Tsunade had already acknowledged that the group of people were enemies.
Yuuki's gentle gaze fell on Kushina, and a standard smile appeared on his lips.
"Hello, Uchiha Yuuki."
"Kushina Uzumaki."
Kushina blushed and shielded Tsunade in front of her.
Looking at the wary Kushina, Yuuki silently pondered whether he needed to add more to the plan.
Kushina Uzumaki is an extremely special individual.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
This is one of the foundations of the five great ninja villages!
As long as there is a surviving Jinchūriki, it means the village is guaranteed at least one Kage-level powerhouse!
The reason why small and medium-sized ninja villages have a hard time becoming the sixth largest ninja village.
In addition to facing suppression from the five great ninja villages, they also suffer from the inability to consistently produce Kage-level powerhouses.
The benefits of winning over a girl with such a powerful background are self-evident.
Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified to get close to the Jinchuriki Kushina.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was adept at arranging Jinchuriki, euphemistically calling it building bonds so they could better integrate into the village.
They directly arranged a scene of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, successfully leading Minato Namikaze into Kushina Uzumaki's heart.
It sounds ridiculous when you think about it.
Several Cloud Ninja.
It spans multiple Konoha defense forces, including the Barrier Team, the Police Department, and the Anbu.
The location was precisely pinpointed to Kushina's residence.
They easily took her out of the village.
Ignore all the clues about the red hair along the way.
The final step was even more devastating, as he was directly defeated by Minato Namikaze!
Undiscovered by the village's elite guards, they were killed by a Chunin who left no trace of blood and possessed no powerful ninjutsu.
Isn't the behavior before and after the events a bit too disjointed?
"Want to eat something together?" Yuuki noticed Kushina, who had been sniffing the food.
"Haha, is your little glutton hungry?" Tsunade ruffled Kushina's hair, watching as Kushina's complexion and hair color gradually became similar.
"Tsunade-neechan!!" Kushina's face flushed red as she stomped her foot in dissatisfaction, then... quickly sat down at the dining table.
She traveled day and night to reach Konoha Village. She was very tired and hungry, okay?
"..."
"Phew!" Tsunade patted her stomach contentedly, stuffing the last piece of braised pork into her mouth: "So full! Yuuki, your cooking is really delicious!"
After a satisfying meal, Yuuki cleared the plates, and Kushina diligently helped clean up the kitchen. Tsunade leaned back in her chair, savoring the taste of the food.
Seeing that Tsunade showed no intention of leaving, Yuuki casually asked, "Lady Tsunade, I haven't seen Kushina in the village. Is she here as a guest?"
Yuuki's question might be a bit sensitive, and Tsunade was a little conflicted for a moment.
Of course she knew what her grandmother was planning to do by bringing Kushina over!
"Well, Kushina just arrived in the village, so she'll probably stay here for a while."
Yuuki nodded in sudden realization.
"All packed up!"
With her beautiful red hair flowing freely, Kushina wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood beside Tsunade.
Clearly, she still felt a sense of unfamiliarity and rejection towards Yuuki.
To be precise, it's a sense of vigilance towards everything unfamiliar.
This is normal. Kushina may be love-struck, but her feelings for Konoha are probably quite limited.
She doesn't have Naruto's thick skin, nor has her brain been washed away by Ashura's chakra.
When you're young, you don't realize there's something wrong with being captured; when you're more mature, you can always guess at Konoha's despicable behavior.
"Thanks a lot."
Yuuki handed Kushina a lollipop, the flavor he often used to coax Mikoto.
After resting for a while, Tsunade suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right, I also need to process Kushina's school enrollment in a few days."
"Enroll in school?" Kushina chuckled twice, shifting her bottom uncomfortably, looking a little nervous. "I heard that children don't actually need to go to school."
"If you don't go to school, you won't be able to find a good job in the future!" Yuuki thought to himself. If you don't go to the Ninja Academy, how will you be influenced by the Third Hokage's Will of Fire, and how will you be a qualified Konoha resident?
"But..." Kushina's face flushed red as she managed to come up with a reason: "What if some classmates bully me?"
Kushina, who had just arrived in Konoha, lacked a sense of security.
Being away from her familiar hometown and friends, and quickly adapting to a new environment, can be quite difficult for a six or seven-year-old girl.
Even though Tsunade, Nawaki, and Mito Uzumaki were very friendly to Kushina, they were just strangers to her, people she had only heard of and had only met once a year at most!
Yuuki squinted at Kushina, who was too nervous to meet his gaze.
That being said, Kushina has every right to be willful.
The Land of Whirlpools has not yet fallen; she is a true princess, a junior of Mito Uzumaki, the Pillar of Konoha, and the younger sister of Tsunade, the medical ninja...
With this status, one could practically do whatever one wanted in Konoha!
Look how arrogant Konohamaru, the future third-generation descendant, has become.
It's one thing if the name includes Konoha.
Entering the Hokage's office is like going in and out of his own toilet; he can even bring dangerous explosives into the Hokage building at will.
This is utterly lawless.
"No, that won't happen," Yuuki reassured him. "The students in Konoha are very friendly. Even if some students do bully you, as long as your Will of Fire is stronger than theirs, all problems can be solved. Of course, it would be best if you could persuade them with words."
Kushina's brewing sadness vanished, and she stared at Yuuki with a puzzled expression.
On her way, she listened to stories told by Senju clan ninjas, who mentioned the Will of Fire.
"The Will of Fire, isn't it just about speaking?"
When the Will of Fire was mentioned, Yuuki's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Is the Will of Fire such an inconvenient thing?"
He's going to try unleashing his Will of Fire on Tsunade!
"Just like the First Lord, his Will of Fire was to protect the children and the village, and to kill anyone who had any ill intentions towards the village!"
"Therefore, when the First Lord killed the enemy, he was embodying the Will of Fire!"
Tsunade, who had been curled up on the sofa, suddenly straightened up.
Something doesn't sound right.
Yuuki continued, "Similarly, if your Will of Fire is to protect yourself and your companions from being bullied, then beating up those who bully you is fulfilling your Will of Fire!"
Protecting one's comrades—this is the purest form of the Will of Fire!
"Oh!" Kushina's mouth gaped open. So that's how it is!
Seeing that Kushina had taken his words to heart, Yuuki said earnestly, "The important thing is to find your own bonds and to approach everything you encounter with an attitude of scrutiny, learning, and skepticism. People are always searching on the road and constantly progressing through doubt."
The Will of Fire is too broad; anything can be added to it.
"And what about you, Yuuki? What is your Will of Fire?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
“Me?” A hint of sympathy flashed in Yushu’s eyes: “In a corner of the village, there are many neglected groups. I hope I can do something to help them solve their difficulties.”
"for example?"
"The war-ravaged ninjas sacrificed their health for the village. Although the village provided compensation for their injuries, the attention they received was clearly insufficient."
Yuki spoke candidly: "I've found that many injured people develop psychological problems after retiring, such as waking up suddenly in the middle of the night or having to hold a kunai while sleeping. I call this phenomenon a mental illness."
"Mental illness..." Tsunade thought this term was quite appropriate.
She thought of her companions, who, even without disabilities, were also afflicted by the disease.
Tsunade took a sip of tea, her expression somewhat serious. "Have you thought about the specifics of how to do it?"
Faced with this question, Yuuki remained silent for a moment, then took out a small scroll: "I do have some ideas."
"I have a dream"
"I hope that the non-ninja doctors in the village can unite and form a medical association."
“We can regularly organize training sessions for new doctors.”
"We gather together and speak freely."
"Share the cases we encounter and discuss how to treat patients."
"Let's pool everyone's ideas and work together to conquer more diseases!"
