Chapter 7- Jutsus and Medical Studies
So, I went to the Senju compound.
Tsunade dragged me there after class, like she said she would. No chance to dodge it. Not that I wanted to—just... it felt a bit strange.
We walked side by side through the village, her chatting about something half the way. I didn’t catch most of it. My mind was too busy trying to prepare for the awkwardness of stepping into one of the most prestigious clans in the entire village to mooch off a few jutsus.
But I can’t deny that I was excited about it. Once I had something to base it on, I could probably do a lot more. Another thing I was interested in was learning medical jutsu—or at least medical knowledge—which would help me improve my chakra reinforcement.
Soon, we reached the lands belonging to the Senju clan.
The Senju compound wasn’t flashy. Not like the Uchiha’s place, which looked like they were compensating for something. Senju grounds were old, quiet, and spread out. Trees everywhere. Subtle signs of heritage—like they didn’t need to show off because everyone already knew who they were.
We reached the gate, and the guards just waved and greeted her through. I got a few raised eyebrows, but Tsunade waved them off.
"Relax, he’s with me."
A few turns and walkways later, we entered what looked like the main house—or at least, one of the bigger ones. And waiting at the front steps was someone I recognized.
Mito Uzumaki. I had met her before, but only once, so we can’t be said to be too familiar.
She gave me a warm smile. "Inaba, right? Good to see you again."
"Yes ma’am," I nodded. "Thanks for the meal last time." Yeah, she paid for us all last time—did I mention that?
