The Rise of the Namikaze Clan in Konoha

"Hatake Sakumo?"

Tsunade cried out in surprise.

"you are?"

The silver-haired ninja frowned, seemingly not impressed by Tsunade.

Tsunade didn't take it seriously, but said with a hint of admiration: "You and I are the same students at the Ninja School, but you graduated very early."

……

It turns out that Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo are students at the same time, but not in the same class.

Because of Sakumo's unparalleled talent, he was granted the privilege to graduate in his second year. Not long after, he was promoted to chuunin and selected into the ANBU, becoming a senior among the three ninjas.

Moreover, over the years, Sakumo has spent most of his time in foreign countries or in the border areas of the Fire Country on missions, rarely returning to Konoha.

Therefore, Tsunade, who is well-informed, has heard of the name of the young Konoha White Fang, but Sakumo, who is obsessed with reviving the Hatake family and carrying out tasks with his head covered, does not know the names of Tsunade and others.

Konoha White Fang, the legendary fastest blade.

Although extremely young, he is very deadly.

He is considered to be the perfect candidate to succeed Konoha's Fierce Tiger and become the ace of the Anbu in the future.

Naturally, Sakumo also became the target of other villages to quickly eliminate him.

Just like the last time the fierce tiger was ambushed, when Sakumo completed his mission in the Land of Rain and returned to the village, he was ambushed by ninjas from other countries who were ten times his size because the spies betrayed intelligence.

Fortunately, Sakumo, who was always astute, discovered the anomaly immediately and withdrew from the ambush in time, so he was able to lead the team members back to Konoha with difficulty.

The few people chatted for a while, and soon the door to the operating room opened.

Dr. Takagi walked out with a tired look on his face.

The operation went very smoothly. Due to Sakumo's excellent command, these ninjas who were supposed to die in a foreign country only suffered some external injuries. After receiving proper treatment, their lives were safe.

Wiping the blood on his gloves on the green surgical gown, Dr. Takagi grinned and said, "Tsunade-sama, Shosei-kun, are you here to play cards with me? Please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes!"

Takagi seemed to have seen countless small coins flying in front of him.

However, Tsunade shook her head and said to Sakumo: "Senior, let's go see your teammates. If there's nothing serious, let's go to the gambling house to play a few games together!"

Hearing about the gambling den, Sakumo instinctively wanted to refuse. In fact, except for the training ground, Sakumo would hardly appear anywhere in his spare time.

However, considering Tsunade's status as a medical ninja and in order to get the best treatment for his subordinates, he still agreed to Tsunade's invitation.

……

Takagi's medical skills are still very reliable, and the wounded are treated well.

Tsunade took Sakumo and Hatsuko to a traditional casino.

The atmosphere inside the casino was very lively and dirty. The combination of all kinds of rude yelling and the smell of men's sweat was nauseating.

Chusheng discovered that Tsunade actually didn't completely like this atmosphere.

She likes the lively part, but is still insensitive to other senses.

But for her, once the gambling wins hit, she can put everything aside, not to mention the mere smell of sweat.

Instead of playing dice, the three of them rented a table by the window.

Tsunade volunteered to explain the rules to Sakumo, and the three began to play cards.

The results of playing cards are obvious.

Tsunade suffered a huge defeat, Shinsei made a small profit, and Sakumo received a huge sum of money inexplicably.

By this time the moon had already appeared in the sky and it was already evening.

This is why Tsunade likes to play cards with the new students.

Because she found that with the same amount of gambling money, she could always play longer and more happily with her newborn.

After losing all her money, Tsunade finally felt comfortable.

The three of them said goodbye at the entrance of the casino.

Tsunade waved to the newborn and told him to remember to come back on time for "brain treatment".

……

The night has just arrived in Konoha, and the evening breeze is mixed with a hint of desolation.

Although the war has not officially started, countries are said to be actively negotiating to avoid the most dire consequences.

But on the streets of Konoha, the shadow of the dark clouds of war can still be seen.

Various carts carrying military supplies creaked and creaked, and even at night, they could still be seen from time to time.

The ninjas who had completed their mission and returned to Konoha were in groups of twos and threes holding wine bottles and wandering around on the streets.

Although there was no on-site inspection, Chusheng estimated that the business of Fengcheng must have been very good during this period.

Because I am afraid that many people have already understood that their time is limited, so it is better to covet the feeling of happiness overnight.

After walking two blocks, Hatsuki found out strangely that the man named Hatake Sakumo had been following him.

Of course, Hatake Sakumo was not following him. If he wanted to hide his whereabouts, Hatsuo would not be able to find him.

Hatake Sakumo just followed Hatsuki, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter with you?" Chusheng stopped.

According to his understanding, Hatake Sakumo should be the number one young ninja in this era. In fact, such a guy will not have anything to do with him.

In fact, if it weren't for his super bad luck, which can be said to be the second-worst gambling luck in the world, he and Tsunade are also people from completely different worlds, and there will be no intersection.

Hatake Sakumo is obviously not a person who is good at communicating with others.

He was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, Chusheng-kun, I'll treat you to ramen, and we'll talk while we eat."

Chusheng looked at the ramen restaurant on the street and nodded.

I missed the ramen at noon, but unexpectedly got it in the evening.

Whoring makes me happy!

I happily went in and ordered five bowls of ramen.

Sakumo's eyes twitched, but he still paid the money happily.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to give up money, after all, he had already made a lot of money gambling with Tsunade today.

The main reason why he felt that he was a newborn civilian without chakra fluctuations, but he ordered five bowls of ramen, seemed to be playing a trick on himself.

However, it was only after Hatsuo ate five bowls of ramen that not even a drop of soup was left, that Sakumo realized that he had misunderstood him.

"Hey, aren't you a taijutsu ninja? Is this enough to eat?"

Chusheng looked at the half-left noodles in Sakumo's bowl and asked a little strangely.

Sakumo had not yet reacted to the shock of the civilian's five bowls of ramen. He just subconsciously replied: "Uh... I am not a powerful taijutsu ninja."

"That's not possible. Strength and speed must both be given equal importance. How can we be biased?"

The newborn shook his head and wanted to reach out and scratch Sakumo's nose out of habit.

However, thinking of the fierce fighting power of Konoha White Fang, Chusheng wisely retracted his sinful little finger and shouted instead: "Waiter, give this guest a chicken leg to top up, and three more bowls of tonkotsu noodles. Do not add chopped green onion." ,Thanks!"
