Chapter 74 How could there be such a naive and easily deceived Uchiha...?
"Only you, Lady Tsunade, know that I awakened the Sharingan."
"That's good." Upon hearing this, Tsunade visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had no interest in the village's infighting, she still possessed a certain degree of political acumen due to the influence of her great-uncle, Tobirama Senju.
If the news spread that Tsunade's student, Tsunade's only remaining relative of the First Hokage and the Third Hokage's personal disciple, had awakened the Sharingan, it would likely cause quite a stir.
On the village's high-ranking side, there's that old devil Danzo, and on the Uchiha side, there are also hawks; on both sides, there are people with extreme views.
Revealing Uchiha Ike's awakening of his Sharingan too early would probably not be a good thing for either side.
More importantly, this would undoubtedly disrupt Uchiha Ike's life, causing him to be caught in a vortex of choices prematurely.
Tsunade didn't know which choice was right, but she hoped her students' paths would be less bumpy.
Yes, even if they are temporary students.
Thinking of this, she looked at Uchiha Ike seriously and gave the order:
"Don't tell anyone else about this for now."
Uchiha Ike was momentarily dazed; he remembered hearing this phrase before.
At that time, the head of the Fugaku clan asked him not to reveal that there were "spies" in the clan's territory.
The two used the same sentence structure, and even their tones were similar.
However, Uchiha Ike couldn't bring himself to dislike Tsunade's orders.
Because the other party was different from Fugaku Uchiha; they were genuinely and seriously weighing the pros and cons for him.
Uchiha Ike's lips curled up slightly; he had played the right card.
With a thought, his blood-red eyes gradually faded, returning to their ink-black state.
"I understand, Tsunade-sensei," Uchiha Ike obediently replied, bowing his head. "I won't tell anyone."
Tsunade nodded slightly, then looked at the other person with a hint of reproach.
She wanted to tell Uchiha Ike that he shouldn't have even told her about awakening his Sharingan.
Keep in mind they've only known each other for a few days. Even though she's not in Konoha most of the time, she's still considered to belong to Konoha from the outside.
If he had any bad intentions and misled people during the subsequent training, Uchiha Ike would have gone astray.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it, because she knew that the boy truly trusted her completely.
Realizing this, Tsunade's feelings became even more complicated.
How can there be such a naive and easily deceived Uchiha...?
Don't trust me so much...
"I'm not going to stay with you guys forever..."
Ten minutes later.
Uchiha Ike walked out of the woods and came to an open space.
Kurenai Yuhi saw him walking this way and subconsciously asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Tsunade-sensei?"
Recalling Tsunade's hurried steps and seemingly flustered state before leaving, Uchiha Ike smiled slightly:
"She seemed to have something to do and left first."
"oh......"
Although confused, Kurenai Yuhi nodded in understanding.
Ninjas like the Legendary Sannin of Konoha must have a lot of things to do every day.
"So, what's next..."
"You can go back to the village now. We'll let you know when the next training session will be."
Uchiha Ike said with a light laugh, and at the same time came to Kakashi and squatted down slightly.
Kakashi looks like he's sleeping soundly.
Uchiha Ike pondered for a moment, then slapped him.
Snapped--
He's not awake.
Snapped--! !
An even harder slap.
Still not awake.
And so it goes...
Kurenai watched this scene in silence. "...I'll wait for you all to come together."
She was a little afraid that Uchiha Ike would secretly kill Kakashi.

When Kakashi opened his eyes, he didn't see a familiar or unfamiliar ceiling, but a smiling face that was as warm as a spring breeze.
For some reason, he felt a slight itch on his face, along with a stinging sensation.
"You're awake. It seems you had a very long dream."
Uchiha Ike said with a smile.
Kakashi remained silent, then nodded: "I dreamt of my father."
He dreamed of his father, Hatake Sakumo.
In his dream, he was in a boundless, dark desert, sitting opposite his father in front of a campfire.
His father told him that this was a pure land and reminded him to wake up quickly, otherwise he would stay in the pure land forever.
"...?" Kakashi frowned and looked over.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but after hearing his words, the other person's smile seemed to widen even more.
wrong......
Kakashi suddenly remembered, took a step back, and stared at Uchiha Ike.
This is the guy who knocked himself out!
"I knew you'd ask that." Uchiha Ike helplessly spread his hands, disappointed that he had no hostility. "Actually, I didn't want to either."
But Kakashi didn't let his guard down, continuing to stare at the other person with deadpan eyes: "What do you mean?"
Maintaining a constant state of suspicion and vigilance is also one of the important abilities of a ninja.
The problem is that Uchiha Ike had already prepared his explanation before Kakashi woke up.
Uchiha Ike's smile faded, and he began to explain seriously.
"Lady Tsunade told me that the toes of her shoes were poisoned."
"Moreover, this poison is modified from the toxin of the salamander. People who come into contact with it will experience unbearable itching, making them unable to resist scratching and slapping. In severe cases, they may even start to self-harm."
Uchiha Ike sighed and continued, "So I'm really sorry, Kakashi, but I have to knock you out before I can cure you."
"Would the Legendary Sannin of Konoha use poison?" Kakashi frowned, then recalled a sentence his father had once said.
Every excellent medical ninja is a master of poison.
Only by understanding the principles can one act in the opposite way. To know how to detoxify, one must first learn how to administer poison. Chiyo of Sunagakure is the most typical example.
Tsunade was a medical ninja at the forefront of her village's medical skills, so her understanding of poison was naturally very thorough.
Poisoning at least one Chunin would be no problem at all.
However, Kakashi still felt that something was not quite right.
This shouldn't be the reason why Uchiha Ike knocked himself unconscious without explaining anything.
But then, Uchiha Ike pointed at Kakashi's face.
Kakashi reached out and touched it, his pupils immediately contracted, and he felt a burning, stinging pain on his cheek.
Looking at Kakashi's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, Uchiha Ike nodded and said, "You took this picture yourself. Kurenai and I went through a lot of trouble to hold you down."
Kakashi covered his face and looked at Kurenai.
Uchiha Ike looked over with a smile: "Is that so, Kurenai-kun?"
"..." Kurenai Yuhi felt like she was about to explode from the pressure.
Is that right?
That's bullshit!
While slapping Kakashi's face, this guy praised Konoha's genius, saying that he slept better than others.
So, should we tell the truth?
But she felt that if she spoke out, Class 5 would have to disband tomorrow.
Why does it feel like it's about to fall apart...?
But she didn't want to disband.
Putting everything else aside, this team has a really good lineup.
First, he served as the mentor of the three legendary Konoha ninja.
Next up is Kakashi, Konoha's acknowledged genius.
And there's Uchiha Ike, a medical ninja who could fight Tsunade to a standstill...
This is probably one of the most promising ninja teams in this year's competition, and she really doesn't want too many conflicts to arise among her teammates.
Bathed in the gaze of the two.
Kurenai pursed her lower lip and nodded gently.
"Yes, I can testify."
