That Day When Suzuki-kun Wasn't the Mob-B! Chapter 497: Will of Fire, or Will of the Scumbag? (Naruto) (Patreon)

The Chunin exam was about to start in a few hours, and instead of going to the venue right after he had his breakfast, as Hiruzen had asked him to come, of course, Suzuki came to visit his teacher. Naturally, he brought his other teacher, Tsunade, who was still sleepy and was just sleeping on the sofa inside the Hokage's office.

Fortunately, Suzuki was good at taking care of people, and since he was also the cause of her sleepiness, he tried his best to hide all the traces of her sloppiness and whatever they did last night.

Yeah, they might have been a little too wild last night.

Yet, Hiruzen never thought that two of his students would be together like that, as Suzuki was too young and Tsunade was too old, so it wouldn't be weird if they were a grandson and a grandmother.

"Ha?!"

Somehow, Tsunade opened her eyes slightly as she glared at Hiruzen.

"....." Hiruzen and Suzuki.

"Ahem!" Hiruzen coughed, trying to steer the conversation away as he turned his attention back to Suzuki. "Are you ready for later?"

"Yes, Sensei."

Suzuki nodded. If he wasn't confident in his Chunin exam, it would be a shame for the other versions of him in various universes.

After all, compared to what the other Suzukis had done in other universes, his own feats were just small. Or rather, was there anything good he had done besides sleeping with various beautiful, mature heroines?

Tsunade, Shizune, and also Yugao.

The three of them had been sleeping with him, tempted by his charm, and had also felt the power within his lower body.

Yes, this was a scumbag move, yet he had to say, compared to the other versions of him in various other universes, what he did was tame.

Still, this also made him wonder what his aim would be.

Should he become stronger?

Hmm...

He would be lying if he didn't have the idea to be stronger, or rather, that was what he had planned to do, since he also wished to be stronger. But when he thought of Sarutobi and also that parasite... he fell silent, then continued to show his gentle smile.

"That's good, then."

Hiruzen smiled softly, as he also felt confident in his student, whom he had decided to accept in his old age. Even if it might be a little late, somehow, he felt good knowing that he could help this talented young man bloom. Frankly, this also made his old life feel filled with a sense of relief, thinking that in his last moments, he did something good.

Yeah, something good. As a Hokage, he knew himself that he had done things that no one understood, and might have also hurt many people in the process, sacrificing them, but he did it to maintain the peace for everyone.

"......." Suzuki.

Suzuki's teacher, Hiruzen, was good and all, but yeah, Hiruzen wasn't that good toward others, especially toward his political opponents.

Then again, Hiruzen wasn't exactly known for being the strongest, despite often calling himself the strongest Hokage. Yet, let's put that matter aside for now.

"Old man, have you gone senile? You called the two of us here in the damn morning just to say that?!"

Yet, while Hiruzen was happy with Suzuki's patient and gentle answer, Tsunade had veins popping on her forehead, as she was just so sleepy!

Yes, Tsunade was exhausted after she slipped into Suzuki's house last night, thinking to surprise him since she had decided to return. Only, this old bastard called her so early in the morning—how dare he?!

"........" Hiruzen.

If it were someone else, would they dare to be so brazen?

Yet, who made Tsunade the granddaughter of the First Hokage?

As the princess of Konoha, even Hiruzen could only bow down and let himself lose his dignity. Or rather, he was used to this, as, deep down, he probably knew that his status was below Tsunade's, despite him being the Hokage.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Are you going to get angry at me just for this?"

Still, without a doubt, Hiruzen was happy to see Tsunade return; after all, she had been staying outside for so long. If it were any other ninja, they would be labeled as a criminal already, but who made her royalty?

Well, Tsunade wasn't the only one, as a certain perverted, old virgin ninja could also stay outside of Konoha without doing any missions.

Let's stop thinking about that...

When Hiruzen thought of all three of his disciples, he could only sigh, as none of them were reliable.

"He is going to do his Chunin exam, and I have just returned! Can you just call us later when he has finished his exam and I have rested enough?!" Still, Tsunade's rage couldn't be stopped. "I thought that you wanted to give him some S-Rank jutsu, but it was only for you to talk about something so meaningless."

"Tsunade-sensei..."

Suzuki was speechless at Tsunade's words, but frankly, inwardly, he cheered her on. Yet, given how he had to appear in front of Hiruzen, he couldn't remain silent when she said those words.

"You are right."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Hiruzen felt that it was also too much to call Suzuki and Tsunade so early in the morning just for this. It wasn't just Tsunade who was exhausted from the trip, but Suzuki had to face the Chunin exam, too. Then again, he would be lying if he wasn't surprised to know that the two were so close, as they stayed in the same place, especially when Suzuki was also Tsunade's student.

Suzuki's place might not be the biggest, or rather, it was on the modest side, yet Hiruzen felt that it was okay, considering Tsunade might be lonely staying at the large estate of the Senju Clan.

Still, without a doubt, for Suzuki to be able to bring Tsunade back, Hiruzen would have to give him a gift. Having Tsunade inside Konoha meant boosting the military power of the village, especially at this moment when the Chunin exam was happening, and the other villages would also come to join in. Who would dare to cause a mess with Tsunade around?

Yet, hearing Hiruzen's words, Tsunade snorted and thought that Hiruzen was as slippery as ever, since if she didn't ask, would Hiruzen even think to give Suzuki a reward?

No way.

This guy was so petty!

After all, most of the resources were taken by the Sarutobi Clan and the other three clans of the Elders: Danzo, Utatane, and Mitokado.

"........" Hiruzen.

While Hiruzen wasn't sure what Tsunade was thinking about, he knew well that she was thinking something rude about him.

"No, Sensei. I have never thought to do this to receive a reward, and it was also Tsunade-sama who had returned on her own to Konoha. I've never done anything."

Yet, even so, Suzuki couldn't accept his reward immediately. Instead, he had to put on a play.

"......." Tsunade.

Yeah, this kid is definitely Hiruzen's disciple...

Tsunade thought inwardly, but she didn't say anything, as she knew well that this way, Suzuki could get more rewards.

"Suzuki-kun..."

Hiruzen felt his eyes grow teary, thinking that Suzuki was a believer in the Will of Fire.

"Come on. You can choose whatever you want. Or rather, I won't let you go to the exam if you don't choose one, or two at least."

Hiruzen insisted, and he wouldn't let Suzuki go home if Suzuki didn't choose one or two jutsu to bring with him.

"........."

Yeah, being the disciple of the Hokage is good, Suzuki thought.
