Chapter 151
At this moment, Shizune was completely overwhelmed.
She truly hadn't expected this little girl to suddenly pull something like this.
And seeing how serious the girl was made it hard for her to figure out how to reject her. As for why she felt the need to reject her—it was simply because she didn't feel she was at the age or level to be accepting disciples yet.
After all, even Tsunade-sama hadn't taken on a student yet.
And now this girl was talking about wanting to become Tsunade-sama's grand-disciple...
"Huh? Grand-disciple?"
Shizune suddenly realized what she said and quickly waved her hands.
"Megumi, you might be misunderstanding something. I'm only Tsunade-sama's assistant, not her student. So even if you become my student, you still wouldn't be Tsunade-sama's grand-disciple, okay?"
Megumi paused for a moment, but her expression remained resolute.
"Even so, since Shizune-obasan has always followed Tsunade-sama, your medical ninjutsu must be amazing. I still want to become your disciple!"
Shizune looked helpless.
"Megumi... I really don't think I'm qualified to take on a student yet. There are still times when I need Tsunade-sama's guidance during surgery. You have a great natural talent for medical ninjutsu—if you learn from me, I'm afraid it'll only hold you back."
