Chapter 97 Shizune's Little Secret
Kurenai followed Shizune to the courtyard.
It was cloudy tonight, and the stars were all obscured. Under the hazy moonlight, the two sat on the wooden corridor and chatted about the daily life of Class 5.
"Tsunade-sensei always says she's going to abandon us and leave Konoha in a few days, but I can actually tell that she cares about our team a lot."
"The weather was particularly hot the other day, and she even bought us ice cream after training in the afternoon."
Shizune smiled serenely. "That's just how Lady Tsunade is. She always seems so carefree, but she actually has a very sensitive side."
"That's the feeling." Kurenai nodded in agreement, looking at Shizune with some surprise. "It seems like you understand Tsunade-sensei quite well, Shizune."
Shizune explained, "Perhaps it's because I've known Lady Tsunade for a longer time."
"Oh..." Kurenai nodded, assuming that Shizune had arrived a few days earlier than her, and continued speaking without giving it much thought.
The two talked back and forth, with Kurenai doing most of the talking and Shizune listening, occasionally nodding and chiming in agreement.
Soon, they started talking about the members of Class 5.
Kurenai looked up at the moon hiding behind the clouds and slowly said, "Speaking of my teammates..."
'
Are we finally going to talk about him...?
Silent eyes lowered slightly, seemingly unconcerned, but her heartbeat gradually quickened.
Since that encounter at dusk, the boy named Uchiha Ike held her hand and placed the butterfly knife in her palm as a gift.
The girl's heart, which originally only had thoughts of "what dishes to cook for Lady Tsunade today" and "what ninjutsu Lady Tsunade will teach me today," suddenly had an inexplicable and inexplicable concern.
Even though she didn't yet understand what this subtle feeling was, Shizune wanted to know more about the other person if she could.
What kind of food does he like to eat, and can he cook it himself?
What are his hobbies? Do we have anything in common?
Does he... treat everyone like this?
Filled with anticipation yet also a mix of excitement and unease, Silent's ears secretly perked up.
"In our Class 5, besides Tsunade-sensei, Shizune, who are you most interested in..."
'
Seeing Shizune looking in their direction, Kurenai paused, subtly keeping everyone in suspense.
When Shizune's expression became slightly more urging, Kurenai smiled with satisfaction, pointed her index finger to the ceiling, and said leisurely, "That should be Kakashi."
Upon hearing this unexpected name, Shizune blinked.
Kakashi?
Seeing that Shizune didn't react, Kurenai tilted her head in surprise, moving her index finger, which had been pointing at the ceiling, down to her chin: "What's wrong?"
A hint of bewilderment and confusion appeared on Shizune's usually clean and tidy face.
She hesitated before asking, "Kurenai, the Kakashi you mentioned... is he very powerful?"
Hearing this, Kurenai was stunned, staring blankly at Shizune: "Don't you know Kakashi?"
"I.....
'
Shizune shrank back into the room, looking at the floor somewhat embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I rarely attend classes at the Ninja Academy..."
"
She wandered around with Tsunade since she was a child. Although she was a student at the Ninja Academy, she basically never attended any classes.
To be honest, she couldn't even remember which class she was in.
"I see..." Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
To be honest, she hadn't seen Shizune much at the ninja academy.
I rarely go to the Ninja Academy... I guess I'm not feeling well?
Thinking of this, Kurenai's gaze towards Shizune softened with affection.
Perhaps the reason for studying medicine is to heal oneself?
"Kakashi, he's the youngest Chunin in Konoha right now. He always has a stern face and seems unapproachable."
"But he's easy to understand. He'll cooperate unconditionally as long as it's beneficial to improving his strength."
"Oh..." Shizune said, "That sounds amazing."
This Kakashi sounds very powerful, but she didn't react much.
She usually studied medicine with Tsunade and witnessed Tsunade's talent in medicine, so she naturally didn't have much feeling or interest in other so-called geniuses.
And what she wanted to hear wasn't some kind of genius, but rather...
Shizune pursed her lips and took the initiative to ask, "Then, Red, what about your other teammate?"
Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment.
In the past few days, many people have come to ask her about her team's situation.
But people either ask if her mentor is Tsunade or if her teammate is Kakashi; very few people pay attention to her other teammate.
Except for Nohara Rin.
Lin asked her about the team's situation a couple of days ago and expressed her concern that Uchiha Ike might be a hindrance because their team's configuration was too high.
They even suggested transferring Uchiha Ike to their team and replacing Asuma, who had better test scores, with Team 5.
I must say, Lin is really gentle.
But Lin was clearly unaware that her relationship with Asma had been strained lately; she hadn't spoken a single word to Asma in the past few days.
and..
She would rather Kakashi leave than Uchiha Ike leave.
First of all, she felt that Kakashi couldn't beat Uchiha Ike.
Secondly, she wanted to witness the Dragon King's counterattack up close!
She believed that one day, Uchiha Ike would prove all those who looked down on him wrong and transform the Uchiha into something that would surprise everyone!
"My other teammate is a weirdo."
Kurenai thought for a moment, then said in a strange tone.
"He's always smiling, it feels like he's always coming up with some bad ideas, he seems really unreliable..."
"But whenever we need him, he always steps up and performs better than we expect."
"I don't really know how to describe him..."
Kurenai glanced into the room with some distress and noticed Tsunade on the sofa move slightly and then stretch out in a big yawn.
"Wait, Lady Tsunade seems to have woken up."
While waiting for the next part of the story, Shizune immediately stood up from the floor.
She approached Tsunade and whispered, "Lady Tsunade, dinner is ready."
"Hmm..." Tsunade responded, rubbing her eyes as she sat up.
"Who were you talking to just now?" Tsunade lowered her hand and looked towards the courtyard in a daze.
Just before she woke up, she heard the two of them talking.
You know, Jingyin travels around with her all year round and rarely comes into contact with other people, let alone chats with them, and they seem to be having a pretty good time chatting.
Kurenai Yuhi, who had just stood up, quickly and sincerely greeted, "Tsunade-sensei."
"Oh, so it's you." Tsunade waved her hand, then asked with some curiosity, "What were you all talking about?"
Just as Kurenai was about to answer, Shizune spoke first.
"We were talking about the ninja academy," Shizune winked at Kurenai and said softly. "I'm very curious about their life at the ninja academy."
