Chapter 278: Ch.278 Testing and Experimentation
The news of Kurama Yakumo becoming Tsunade's disciple continued to ripple through the village.
Tsunade's lofty status meant her every word and action drew the attention of Hidden Leaf's major shinobi clans—especially something as significant as taking a disciple.
After all, the Hokage title had already passed to the Fourth generation.
Many clans had seen through the inheritance logic: without entering the Hokage's mentorship system, no amount of strength or merit could secure the position of Hokage.
This was precisely why the Uchiha clan ultimately rebelled—they knew that as long as the Hokage faction held power, they'd never ascend to that seat.
Thus.
By apprenticing under Tsunade, Yakumo didn't just gain a formidable teacher—she also earned a ticket to potentially climb to the pinnacle of village authority.
That's why the Kurama clan was decked out in celebration, hosting feasts for guests!
And those clans that had once dismissed the Kurama clan now curbed their disdain, reevaluating their stance toward them.
In a secluded training ground filled with various instruments.
The outside commotion didn't faze Yakumo. Brought here by Tsunade, her mind was wholly focused on the mission her leader had assigned her.
