Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 37 Living Off a Woman

Seeing Huixiang's pitiful appearance, Genma felt a pang of pity, but his face remained unmoved: "I'm very sorry. The reason is that doing this is useful to me, or you are useful to me."

Fennel is filled with sorrow.

Xuanma sighed inwardly as he watched.

He's become the villain!

However, he also deeply understood a principle from fennel.

That is: Don't be a weakling!

Let's go!

With a hypnotic illusion, Xuanma darted forward, caught the limp fennel, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and ran.

Silent all night.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Genma and his group officially embarked on their return journey, leaving Kusagakure.

To express their gratitude and to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the Grass Village also assigned a Jonin to lead the escort.

This Jonin was named Muwei, and he looked to be about twenty years old, which was very young.

After hearing his self-introduction, Xuanma couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

Non-action, purity, dragon tongue... Box of Bliss?

interesting.

Then Genma couldn't help but wonder if the Grass Village had participated in the upcoming Third Shinobi World War.

Could this ninja village, sandwiched between two great powers and situated on the battlefield of the clash between two major ninja villages, possibly remain uninvolved?

"And what about this attack by Iwagakure?"

"Was the information accidentally leaked by the Grass Village, or did some pro-Iwagakure faction deliberately leak it?"

Xuanma thought to himself and couldn't help but become extremely focused.

Logically speaking, the Grass Ninja Village shouldn't dare to do anything in this situation.

But Xuanma remained vigilant.

Because he knew that people could act without following normal logic.

However, the rest of the journey was uneventful. They successfully passed through the Land of Grass and separated from the Wuwei Squad before entering the Land of Fire.

"Looks like I was overthinking it."

Xuanma smiled to himself.

Not long after entering the Land of Fire, the team stopped to rest and prepare to spend the night there.

at the same time.

The closest bustling town to Konoha Village.

Genma's clone took Fennel to a hotel.

After a day of travel, Fennel, resigned to its fate, quickly fell asleep.

Instead of resting, Xuanma's shadow clone used a transformation technique to become a falcon and flew towards Konoha. It flew into Konoha Village at top speed and arrived at Tsunade's house.

At that moment, Tsunade was biting her pen and frowning in deep thought when she heard a noise and looked up to see a falcon landed on the windowsill.

"Um?"

After a moment of surprise, Tsunade gave a cold snort: "Weren't we on a mission?"

"What about muting it?"

Genma dispelled the transformation jutsu and sat down opposite Tsunade: "I am a clone. I came back ahead of time because of something."

Tsunade frowned: "Is there a problem with the mission?"

Genma shook his head: "It should be fine. We encountered Iwa ninja on the way there, but we weren't seriously injured."

"I came back early because of something else. I saw an orphan of the Uzumaki clan in Kusagakure."

Tsunade's expression changed: "The Uzumaki clan? Are you sure?"

Genma nodded: "Red hair, a special physique, and powerful healing abilities, which is why the Grass Ninja uses it as a medical tool."

Tsunade gave a strange look: "So you think she's from the Uzumaki clan?"

"The Uzumaki clan isn't the only one in the ninja world with red hair."

Genma nodded: "That's true, but she also knows Kushina Uzumaki, who is Minato-senpai's girlfriend."

Tsunade became serious: "Then it seems so."

"So, you took her out of Kusagakure without my permission."

Genma was slightly embarrassed: "To be precise, I kidnapped her out of Kusagakure; she herself didn't want to leave."

"So I didn't tell Professor Sakumo and the others about this."

"However, the Senju and Uzumaki clans are related, and the Uzumaki clans are allies of Konoha. If she stays in Kusagakure, she will eventually die from exhausting her life force."

Tsunade put down her pen: "So you want me to go and bring her to Konoha?"

"But she doesn't want to. What's the point of forcing her to stay in Konoha? She won't thank you."

"Besides, Konoha might not be the best choice for her."

Genma said helplessly, "That's true, but it's impossible to send her back to Kusagakure now."

"and……"

Genma's expression turned serious: "Now that I've brought her back to Konoha, I will protect her from harm in Konoha."

Tsunade curled her lip: "You?"

"Kid, don't be so confident."

"You're just a genin, how dare you disobey the Hokage's orders?"

Upon hearing this, Genma quickly added with a smile, "Isn't there Lady Tsunade too!"

"And there's also Kushina-senpai, who is also a Jonin of the village."

"It is because of you that I am so bold."

He's just sponging off others.

Tsunade rolled her eyes, then stood up: "Where is he?"

Xuanma was immediately delighted and stood up, saying, "In Toubo Town."

……

Border of the Land of Fire.

Under the star-studded night sky, Genma, who was sitting cross-legged next to Shizune, suddenly twitched his eyelids.

The artbook has been updated!

"As expected, the clone side has taken care of it."

Xuanma was secretly delighted; Fennel's fate had been changed, gaining 2 more attribute points.

This was beyond his expectations; he had thought that having 1 point of the setting value would be good enough.

"Could it be because it might ruin Rin?"

But if that's the logic, then there should be more than 2 setting values.

After all, without Xianglin, Erzhuzi would have died several times over.

Putting aside many thoughts, Xuanma pondered the potential predicament that fennel might face in the future.

Danzo is probably the biggest threat.

Fennel's unique properties make her a top candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, with Tsunade, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's restrictions on Danzo, they should be safe for the time being.

After thinking about it, Xuanma felt that the third point was somewhat uncertain.

"We can hide the healing ability for now. Let Huixiang learn medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and it would be best if she worked at the Konoha Hospital."

"In another year or two, I will have fully mastered Wood Release. If Danzo dares to complain, I will let him test the power of Wood Release first."

For Genma, Danzo's identity posed no threat whatsoever.

He is not Uchiha Shisui.

Not long after, the clone's memories returned, and Xuanma was completely relieved.

Silent all night.

The team set off early the next morning, speeding up their journey.

Genma and his group only took a day and a half to travel from the border of the Land of Fire to Konoha Village.

"Son, I'm leaving you with my son. I'm going to your mother's."

After the team disbanded, Yu Fenglan tossed her backpack to her son and then ran off with a flourish.

Genma had no choice but to take the bag home, and then he and Shizune went to Tsunade's house together.

To everyone's surprise, Tsunade wasn't home at all.

"Huh?"

"Lady Tsunade hasn't been back for a few days."

Silently, she noticed that the desk she frequently used was covered in dust.

Xuanma's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

No need to guess, Tsunade must have taken the opportunity to go out and play while picking up Fennel.

"Something might have happened at the hospital, or there might be a mission involved."

Genma pretended not to know.

Without giving it much thought, Jingyin laughed and said, "Looks like we need to clean up first."

Xuanma immediately rolled up his sleeves: "I'll help you!"

at the same time.

Tsunade, accompanied by Fennel who looks like a little white rabbit, is losing big at a gambling den.

Fennel stared in disbelief. She had never seen anyone with such bad luck, not winning even once.
