One Punch Naruto

"Green, green leaves?"

Tsunade looked at Sakura in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means literally." Sakura sighed.

"When a flower blooms, people's attention tends to be focused on the flower and ignore the green leaves falling next to the flower. Even if someone accidentally notices the green leaves, they will still turn their attention to the flower after taking a second look. on the body."

"In the process of growth, although the green leaves put in the same or even more efforts, they are always just a foil in front of the flowers."

Sakura shook her head and said firmly, "And I don't want to be such a foil."

After hearing what Sakura said, Tsunade wondered: "But what does this have to do with your unwillingness to learn medical ninjutsu?"

"Of course it does."

Sakura looked at Tsunade and replied seriously: "Take yourself, Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade asked blankly: "Take me?"

"Yeah." Sakura nodded.

"Tsunade-sama, although you are a powerful ninja who is one of the legendary three ninjas along with Jiraiya-sama and Orochimaru, no one would think that the three of you are equal in strength, right?"

"In the opinion of everyone in Konoha, no, the entire ninja world, Tsunade-sama, you are the last among the three ninjas, and your strength is far weaker than the first two."

"This..." Tsunade opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Jiraiya, who had been making soy sauce, saw Tsunade's silence, laughed a few times, and quickly explained to Tsunade: "Haha, how could it be, there is no such thing, Tsunade's strength is not weaker than me and Orochi. Damn it, hahaha.”

"Tsunade, she..."

Jiraiya wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Tsunade. She waved her hand: "Okay, Jiraiya, there is no need to deceive yourself. My strength is indeed not as powerful as the two of you. There is nothing to deny this." of."

Seeing that Tsunade said this, Jiraiya had no choice but to shut up.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, what they said is not wrong. My strength is indeed the last among the three ninjas." Tsunade raised her head and looked at Sakura and said calmly.

It took a few seconds for her to regain her composure. After all, this was something she had accepted her fate a long time ago. Tsunade felt that she had no hope in this life.

Sakura nodded: "Yes, they are right, Tsunade-sama is indeed not as strong as the other two."

But then, she changed the subject: "But, that's not what I want to say."

Tsunade asked in confusion: "Then what do you mean?"

"Why? Why are they so sure, Tsunade-sama, that your strength will be weaker than the other two?" Sakura stared closely into Tsunade's eyes.

"Only you three should know the strength of the three of you best. In addition, no one else in the ninja world has any way to fully understand you. After all, it is difficult to obtain information. Yes, no ninja would be stupid enough to leak his or her information to others. Just relying on some performance on the battlefield is nothing."

"But even in this completely unknown situation, others still think that you must be the weakest one."

"This is because your powerful strength is not worth mentioning in front of your medical ninjutsu. When everyone mentions Tsunade-sama, the first thing they think of is that you are the most powerful medical ninja in the ninja world, and they ignore you. At the same time, he is also a strong man with explosive fighting prowess.”

"Under such circumstances, no one would think that a person who specializes in medical ninjutsu is likely to be more effective than two other people who specialize in combat, so even if they don't know the specific information, they will still think that you must be the weakest The one."

"Similarly, because most medical ninjas are very weak, in everyone's minds, when a battle is over, no one will think that the contribution of medical ninjas will be greater than that of the person responsible for the battle. Ninjas are bigger, and even the contributions of medical ninjas tend to be ignored."

Speaking of this, Sakura remembered the time when Pain invaded Konoha in the original book.

After the battle, Naruto became the hero of Konoha and the person with the greatest credit, because he single-handedly defeated Pain, and in contrast, he used medical ninjutsu to treat all the injured. Tsunade seemed to have been forgotten. At that time, almost everyone was congratulating Naruto, but no one noticed that Tsunade had fainted due to running out of chakra.

There was no way. Although it was Nagato who resurrected the dead, he was persuaded to do so by Naruto's Mouth Release. Therefore, in the eyes of the Konoha villagers, this credit certainly belongs to Naruto. Naruto can even kill the dead. After being resurrected, you just healed some injured people, so what does that mean?

"Tsunade-sama, if I guess correctly, during the Second and Third Ninja War, you spent more time treating the injured as a medical ninja than fighting, right?"

"That's right." Tsunade nodded.

Although she is tied with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, she does fight much less than them, and more often she saves lives and heals the wounded. Compared to her combat power, her medical ninjutsu is even more incomparable to Konoha. Something missing.

After all, she is a taijutsu ninja. In a battlefield with nearly ninjas, even if a taijutsu ninja dies from exhaustion, his role cannot be compared to that of a ninjutsu ninja.

Sakura asked: "Then I think that after the battle, in terms of ranking of contribution, your ranking will definitely not be as good as Jiraiya-sama and Orochimaru."

Tsunade didn't speak, but her eyes were downcast. The greatest contributor to the Second Ninja War was the Third Hokage, who coordinated the overall situation. The greatest contributor to the Third Ninja War was the golden flash that frightened the enemies. Although she was there He saved many people during the two great ninja wars, but his credit was ranked behind Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

Among the candidates for the Fourth Hokage, there are Orochimaru and Jiraiya, but she is not there. Although Tsunade does not care about this, it does not mean that she has no feelings about it, because this means that in the Third Hokage In the eyes of the three consultants, the other two were valued more than her.

It's the same even now. Jiraiya told her clearly on the first day he found her that he didn't want to be Hokage, so he came to Tsunade. In the eyes of the three advisers, Jiraiya Still the number one Hokage candidate.

Tsunade's eyes flickered and asked: "So, you just rejected me because you don't want to learn medical ninjutsu, right?"

"Yes."

"Besides this, is there no other reason?"

"Nothing."

Sakura spread her hands and said: "In a world like the ninja world that is dominated by fighting, strength is always the most important. Compared with strong strength, everything else will not be valued by people."

"Tsunade-sama, I know that the existence of medical ninjutsu is very important, but I don't want to be such a silent dedication person, so I have no interest in this kind of thankless thing."

Tsunade thought for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, I understand a little bit about you. In this case, I won't force you to learn medical ninjutsu."

"Phew, it's finally done." Seeing Tsunade's response, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

To be honest, what she just said is true. Sakura is indeed not interested in medical ninjutsu. You must know that when she was playing 1o1 before time travel, she would rather retreat than choose an assistant.

But in fact, this is just an objective reason. Even if Sakura learns medical ninjutsu, as long as she shows overwhelming strength, no one will dare to ignore her.

The most important thing is that she has no chakra now. She is still learning a stupid medical ninjutsu. The secret will be exposed on the first day, okay? Tsunade might even expel her from the school. In that case, It would be better to reject it outright from the beginning.

"Hey, Tsunade-sama, although I am not interested in medical ninjutsu, but Kosovo is different. She likes medical ninjutsu very much, and her talent in medical ninjutsu is the highest I have ever seen. She will definitely be able to do it in the future. I will become the proud disciple who inherits your medical ninjutsu." In order to divert Tsunade's attention, Sakura hugged Karin's shoulders and began to praise Karin to Tsunade.

Seeing Sakura like this, Tsunade glanced at Karin first and nodded, "Sakura, you are right, Karin is indeed very suitable for medical ninjutsu."

But then, Tsunade shifted her attention to Sakura again, and changed the subject: "But the same goes for you, Sakura. Both of you are the best candidates to become my apprentice."

"What?" Sakura's eyes widened for a moment and she said subconsciously: "But didn't I say that I don't like medical ninjutsu, and Tsunade-sama, you also agreed to this."

"I did agree." A sly smile appeared on Tsunade's face, "But I just said that I won't force you to learn medical ninjutsu, but I didn't say that I won't accept you as a disciple."

Tsunade shrugged: "If you don't want to learn medical ninjutsu, then forget it. It's no problem. I promise you that I can only teach you ninjutsu to improve your strength and not medical ninjutsu. In this case, you Then there is no reason to reject me."

"Don't forget, when I asked you just now, you said it yourself. There was no other reason other than medical ninjutsu."

......

Sakura stared at Tsunade dumbfounded and swallowed hard. She never expected that Tsunade would play such a word game with her.

And now, it seems that she has no reason to reject Tsunade anymore. She has no choice. Who made Sakura herself say so damningly just now? All her escape routes have been blocked. Now she can only agree to Tsunade. , it seems there is no other choice.

However, Sakura still has some doubts in her heart. Judging from the original novel, Tsunade should be more concerned about her identity as a medical ninja. From the original test that Sakura gave when she wanted to become her disciple. You can see it when you learn palm ninjutsu. Why do you agree so easily now that you can stop learning medical ninjutsu?

Well, what Sakura doesn't know is that in the original book, Tsunade was moved by Sakura's persistence, so she gave such a test, but now Tsunade values ​​Sakura's talent in combat more and wants to She wanted to train people who were better than herself in terms of combat ability, so even if Sakura didn't learn medical ninjutsu, she could accept this.
