Chapter 277: Ch.277 First Mission in the Organization
"I'm so jealous of Yakumo!"
"Right? It's Lady Tsunade we're talking about!"
"With Lady Tsunade taking Yakumo as her disciple, her health should be fine now, right?"
When Shinji found Shion on the training field, she wasn't doing her usual warm-up stretches while waiting for him. Instead, she was huddled with Sakura, Ino, and Hinata, chatting about Yakumo's apprenticeship.
Spotting Shinji approaching, Shion hurried over: "Shinji, Shinji, did you hear? Yakumo's been taken as a disciple by Lady Tsunade!"
Shinji nodded: "I heard."
Shion asked: "Do you think if I begged Lady Tsunade right now, she'd take me as a disciple too? If I could become a student of one of the 'Sannin,' I'd definitely get super strong!"
Before Shinji could reply, he noticed Sasuke, training alone nearby, subtly tilting his head—clearly eavesdropping on their conversation.
Evidently, Shion's words had piqued Sasuke's interest, but he was too proud to join them, so he pretended to train while listening in.
Shion sighed to herself: "Ugh, Lady Tsunade would never take me as a disciple! Yakumo got noticed because she beat Sasuke. I can't even beat him."
Shinji caught Sasuke's eye twitching slightly in the distance.
