Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Hinata’s Adversity

Boruto had never felt humiliated like this before. In the academy, even if there were students who were conflicted and envious of him, he would always be the final victor. Sarada Uchiha, who's predicted to be his main rival, not an exception.

Thus, he had never met someone who crushed his pride. How could that woman think she had a crush on him? If it wasn't for her beautiful face, Boruto really wanted to curse her.

“Humph, since you think highly of yourself, don't blame this Young Master to make you a servant in the future.” Boruto cursed.

He was currently carefully pouring liquid resin into a glass bottle containing a red rose. There's no way this rose would last ten years without some isolation technique.

While Boruto experienced emotional ups and downs, Hinata also experienced similar ups and downs. After knowing that Boruto was really in nor good or bad situation, as a mother, she couldn't stop worrying.

She felt herself increasingly helpless. In the past, before starting a family, her father always trained her as the successor of the clan. Therefore, she underwent various strenuous exercises in order to become stronger.

Right now, the strength she had cultivated seemed useless to help her son's situation. She also decided in her mind that she should learn something that can help the family.

"So, what's wrong, Mrs. Hokage is seeing me again? I don't think it's time for Boruto's examination schedule to arrive yet." Sakura sipped her hot tea.

"Sakura, I'm sorry. I was a bit rough yesterday. I know my mistake. Please don't take it to heart." Hinata spoke in a pleading tone.

"Hinata, I don't blame you. After all, we are both mothers. I understand how anxious a mother feels when she sees their son or daughter suffer a disaster. If it was Sarada who experienced it, I would be no better than you." Sakura replied.

"Thank you Sakura for your understanding. Today, I visited you besides apologizing, but also to make a request." Hinata explained.

"No need to be polite to me. We've been friends since we were teenagers. Right now your status even above me. Don't hesitate to ask me something. I promise to help you as long as it's within the scope of my abilities."

"No, no. I'm just a housewife. How can I consider my position above you who have an official position in the village." Hinata hastily denied.

"Hey... who doesn't know that the status of a wife depends on their husband. Even if you're not the Hokage's wife, you're still the daughter of the Hyuga Clan leader. How can I who comes from a mediocre family compare to you." Sakura said empathetically to herself.

"Sakura, I'm really here to beg you. Please don't embarrass me by bringing up social status." Hinata said sadly.

"Sorry, sorry. Then what do you want me to help you with?"

Hinata was silent for a few moments. Her mind conflicted for a while before making up the decision. Suddenly, Hinata dropped to the floor and bowed respectfully to Sakura.

"Sakura, please accept me as your student!" Hinata shouted loudly.

Sakura who was sipping tea was surprised to hear that and spontaneously spit liquid tea in her mouth. Fortunately, she shot in the opposite direction from Hinata.

"Hinata, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Sakura hurriedly put down her teacup and helped Hinata up.

"No. If you don't agree, I won't get up." Hinata insisted.

"Hinata, you're not sick, are you? How can we, who are in the same class, be teachers and students?" Sakura confused.

"How can you not? You know the legendary Sanin-level medical jutsu. I only know basic medical jutsu. If you become my teacher, I believe I can improve." Hinata explained.

"Hinata, you want to learn medical jutsu?"

"Yes. I really want to learn it." Hinata insisted.

Sakura slightly frowned. "Hinata. It's not that I don't want to teach you. It's just that my medical jutsu came from Mrs. Tsunade. When I first started learning, I was made a vow not to teach this medical jutsu to Hyūga's descendants. I can't pretend to forget it. That would be an act of disobedient by betraying the oath."

 

Hinata let out a disappointed sigh. "So that's how it was. I thought Mrs. Tsunade just hated me. Turns out she's not on good terms with my clan."

"Hinata, have you met her?" Sakura was surprised.

"Yes, before finding you, I went to her apartment. After all, I still have the embarrassment of asking you to be my teacher. It happened like this..."

In the Second District, which's also called the elite area, there are skyscrapers. This building was created using the latest construction techniques by combining ninjutsu knowledge and professional engineering experience. One of those skyscrapers was called the Hokage Tower.

The reason the Hokage Tower famous was because the building which was an apartment has many units belonging to several Hokages. The 5th Hokage, the 6th Hokage, and the 7th Hokage all had ownership to some units. It's just that, apart from the 5th Hokage who lived permanently, the other Hokages rarely visited the unit and only did it occasionally.

"Hua ha ha ha... Shizune. Look, look. This guy is so stupid. How can there be such stupid people in the world. He's even more stupid than Naruto."

A blonde haired woman couldn't hold back her laughter. The woman had a plump and energetic figure. If man saw how unguarded she was right now, a thousand wild fantasies would be created in their minds.

"Mrs Tsunade, please watch your words. Master Naruto is now the 7th Hokage. What if someone hears?" An older looking woman warned. Even though she looked older than the previous plump woman, she's actually two decades younger than her. This sometimes frustrated her, so she rarely left the house with the plump woman. She will find a thousand reasons not to walk side by side with her in public anymore.

"What do you mean Shizune? To me, Naruto was yesterday afternoon's boy. It's no different from the past. Glug... glug... glug..." Tsunade lectured her students playfully while downing a few gulps of Sake.

Shizune could only surrender. The student cannot directly contradict the teacher. After all, the feeling of return was stronger than the feeling of discomfort.

"Mrs. Tsunade, don't forget your identity. If a former Hokage has a bad opinion of the current in-charge Hokage, the village elders will think wildly." Shizune said.

"Those old people are brave? Who doesn't know I have cared for Naruto since he was a kid. If they want to make a scene, don't blame this madam for being rude. Hua ha ha ha ... so funny, so funny." Tsunade changed from a serious tone to a playful tone very quickly.

"Yes, yes. But please pay attention to your clothes. How can you look reckless without guard." Shizune complained. She rushed to tidy up Tsunade's clothes which showed a lot of her delicate white skin. Especially the chest, looks very tempting.

Shizune felt even more frustrated. If she also had good chakra control talent, she could have such a beautiful figure even in her old age. It's a shame, even though Tsunade taught her all the techniques she was good at, Shizune was unable to absorb all of them. Her talent as a Shinobi was only slightly better than average.

"What man would dare attack this Madam even if I'm naked? I'll make sure to beat him like a pig. Yes, but if he's a handsome young man, maybe I'll let him stare a bit. He he he." Tsunade said jokingly.

In between their conversation, there was the sound of a bell being pressed. Shizune immediately approached the door. She saw a familiar face from the small screen. It was Hinata. Shizune opened the door quickly.

"Hinata? Please come in. Do you need to discuss something with Mrs. Tsunade?" Shizune asked while welcoming guests.

"Yes. I have some matters that need to be discussed with Mrs. Tsunade."

"Who's coming?" A seductive lazy voice asked from afar.

"It's Hinata." Shizune replied.

"Oh, Hinata? Come here, quick. Let's play Mahjong. This madam is bored to death not having gambled in a long time." Tsunade said.

"Mrs Tsunade, I thought Hinata would be discussing an important matter. Am I right?" Shizune investigated.

"It's fine. Let's play a few rounds to lighten the mood." Hinata replied with a smile.

Several rounds of Mahjong begun. Uniquely, Hinata, who was never famous for gambling, almost always won games with better combinations. In second place was Shizune who always played it safe. Meanwhile, the pioneer of the game never won a single round.

"Cheating! You must be cheating! How can I always be unlucky? You must be using your Byakugan, right?" Tsunade rebelled from reality.

"How can I hide from Mrs. Tsunade's sight if I really use the Byakugan? It's just a coincidence." Hinata answered humbly.

"No. I want to play one more round! If you win this time. I will fulfill any one request from you as long as it is within my means."

"If I lose?" She asked.

"If you lose, hehehe. You should do comedy on television. It will be really fun watching the Hokage's wife act stupid. Hahaha..." Tsunade laughed full of confidence.

"Mrs Tsunade! You can't make Hinata do that. How can the Hokage's wife be a clown for people?" Shizune hastily interjected.

"It's fine, Sis Shizune. I'll make a bet." Hinata insisted.

 "Hinata..." Shizune was still worried.

"Good! No wonder Naruto likes you. Behind the gentle appearance lies great courage. Alright... let's start the game."

A few moments later.

"No way! How can that be? Am I cursed? Have my luck run out in this life? How can I never win once?" Tsunade muttered lamenting her fate.

"Mrs Tsunade. Your expression is too predictable when you get good pieces. I'm actually surprised you like gambling so much when you can't make a poker face." Hinata explained.

"Hump! Lose is lost. I will not dodge. Tell me... what is your request?" Tsunade puffed out her chest proudly like she was the real winner in life.

For a moment, there was silence. Shizune took a deep glance at Hinata. She also wondered what Hinata's request was. It should have something to do with her visit today.

While Tsunade was still puffed out with pride, her eyes fluttered open to glance at Hinata. She was also a little curious about her request.

To everyone's surprise, Hinata immediately bowed to the ground respectfully. "Mrs Tsunade. Please accept me as your apprentice! I want to become a high level medical ninja like you! I beg you so much!"

"Hinata..." Shizune immediately made her stand up.

Meanwhile, Tsunade's face immediately darkened. Her proud expression was replaced by contemplation. After a long time of conflict, Tsunade replied. "I can't accept you as a student. Sorry, replace with another request!"

"Why? Does Madam feel that I lack of talent? I can work hard to make up for it. Please give me a chance!" Hinata begged.

"No. It's not a matter of talent. I just don't want to. Hinata, if you're not going to change the request, please leave. This lady is old and wants to take a nap. Shizune...send the guests away." Tsunade immediately turned towards the room without hesitation. She closed the door hardly so the slaming sound could be heard.

Shizune felt sorry for Hinata. She could only console her. "Hinata... maybe Mrs. Tsunade isn't in a good mood. After all, she has lost many games. Come on, you go home first. If Mrs. Tsunade gets better, maybe she will look for you."

After sending Hinata away, Shizune walked into Tsunade's room.

"Madam... she's gone." Shizune said slowly.

"Shizune, you know why I didn't accept her as a student?"

"Madam wants to tell me? At that time I also took the same oath as Sakura. I don't dare to guess Madam's thoughts." Shizune said.

"If what I'm looking for is potential and talent, you and Sakura really can't compare to Hinata. That girl, Hinata, she also has good character. If I'm just a teacher who wants to pass on knowledge to students, there's no way I can refuse good seeds It's a shame, human hearts are selfish. I can't forget past mistakes. Even though I know Hinata can't be involved, she's still Hyuga blood after all. As a Senju, I can't completely forget the grudge of my predecessors." Tsunade explained.

Shizune probably still wasn't clear on the meaning of Tsunade's words. If only Uzumaki Tenrou were still alive and eavesdropping on them, he would know the deeper meaning of Tsunade's words.

After all, Tsunade was a former Hokage. In her position at that time, the information she got was much more complete and her point of view was also much broader compared to when she was still fighting on the front lines and earned the nickname Legendary Sanin. It would be nearly impossible to keep the conspiracy from her if she really wanted to find out.
