Hearing Isamu's words, the Great Elder quietly felt relieved. The most correct decision he had ever made in his life was probably choosing Isamu; not only was his strength formidable, but he was also a good person.
Five years passed in a flash. At this time, Isamu had reached 22 years of age, with only a few months left until he turned 23. By now, his strength was sufficient to challenge the entire Ninja World single-handedly. Apart from the Ten-Tails and the Rinnegan, he had mastered almost all Wood Release, Sage Arts, and other Ninjutsu. This year, Konoha also lifted his house arrest, and he was now free to leave the village again.
On the rooftop, Tsunade, dressed in white, slowly walked up behind Isamu. Watching him standing on the roof, she walked to his side and said with a smile, "Why are you still here? Don't forget that today is Nawaki's graduation ceremony. If you go late, he might throw a tantrum again."
Isamu was wearing a black trench coat with the Uchiha Clan emblem on the back. Hearing Tsunade's words, he turned around and pulled her into his arms. "Wasn't I just waiting for you? Besides, that brat would prefer if I didn't go."
Tsunade gently hugged Isamu back and said, "I know Nawaki has some prejudices against you, but he is my younger brother after all. We should still go and congratulate him."
"I didn't say I wouldn't go. It's still not too late to go now, let's go." After saying this, Isamu took Tsunade's hand, jumped off the roof, and headed towards the Ninja Academy.
On the way, the handsome couple walked slowly towards the school. Walking down the street, the two of them became a beautiful sight, and the eyes of passersby were all drawn to them.
Isamu watched all this with a smile. He glanced lightly at Tsunade's figure. At 17, Tsunade had already developed maturely. Although she hadn't reached the level seen in the original work, she already had a certain scale. He really didn't know why Tsunade would reach that level later on.
Soon, while Isamu was lost in thought, the two entered the school. Thinking of Nawaki's early death, Isamu reminded Tsunade beside him, "Tsunade, that brat Nawaki is too hot-blooded and acts too impulsively. He'll suffer sooner or later if he keeps this up. You really should educate him properly."
"I can't help it either. You know what Nawaki's temper is like—stubborn as a mule. He doesn't listen to a word I say." Tsunade had a massive headache regarding her younger brother.
"Fine, I'll go and train him properly when the time comes." Isamu had a sly grin on his face.
"Let's get this straight first: don't you dare mess with him until he's too scared to come home again." Tsunade said, holding onto Isamu's arm.
"Don't worry, I won't hit him this time. I'll give him a lesson of love, and I guarantee he'll be obedient," Isamu said with a wicked smile.
During their conversation, the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the school plaza, where many parents were already waiting.
Every year, the Hokage gives a lecture on the will of fire to the graduating Ninjas, commonly known as brainwashing.
Just as Isamu and Tsunade walked to the area where parents were standing, they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi on the podium waving and calling out to them: "Tsunade, Isamu."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned towards them. "Let's go over there; this place isn't suitable for us anymore." Seeing the gazes of the crowd, Tsunade helplessly pulled Isamu towards the podium.
"Damn, what is Sarutobi playing at? Doesn't he know I don't like being stared at like this?" Isamu let Tsunade pull him along.
Under everyone's gaze, Isamu and Tsunade slowly walked up to the podium.
"Older Sister! That's my Older Sister!" Seeing Tsunade walk onto the podium, Nawaki shouted excitedly, terrified that others might not know that was his sister.
Hearing this, the people around started asking Nawaki about the situation. Nawaki introduced them to his classmates with a smug look on his face, but when it came to Isamu, he just brushed it off with the phrase "future brother-in-law."
On the other side, hearing Nawaki say that, Isamu gave a wry smile. This brat really didn't like him after all.
On the podium, Tsunade stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and greeted him: "Long time no see, Teacher Sarutobi. You're getting busier and busier these days."
"Indeed, the opportunities to see you are becoming fewer and fewer. I didn't expect you to come today; it must be for Nawaki, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.
"Yes, exactly. If it weren't for Nawaki, I really wouldn't have had the time to come. I've been busy to death lately." Isamu and Tsunade casually found a seat on the podium and sat down. The teachers nearby very consciously gave up their seats.
"By the way, I haven't seen Orochimaru and Jiraiya in a long time. What are they up to lately?" Isamu asked casually after sitting down.
"Orochimaru seems to be doing some kind of Ninjutsu research, and Jiraiya has gone off to find inspiration for his writing." Speaking of Jiraiya, Sarutobi gave Isamu a 'you know' look.
Tsunade looked at Isamu with a strange expression. What the hell? She didn't understand a single word of that.
"Cough, cough... Is that so? That's not bad." Seeing Sarutobi give him that look and Tsunade looking at him strangely, Isamu awkwardly coughed into his hand. Damn, two perverted teachers. Tsunade is right here; what's the meaning of giving me that look?
"By the way, I heard you two are getting married. When is it?" Seeing that the previous topic wasn't good to discuss, Sarutobi changed the subject directly.
Seeing that marriage was mentioned, Tsunade became a bit shy. Isamu said nonchalantly, "We've discussed it and set it for the first of next month. We'll have to trouble you to be the host of the wedding then."
"Is that so? There's about a month left. Time flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, you two are getting married." Regarding this, Sarutobi indicated it was no problem, sighing at how fast time passed.
Subsequently, the graduation ceremony began, and Hiruzen Sarutobi once again subjected the newly graduated students to a round of brainwashing about the will of fire. Hearing this, Isamu thought, if you can brainwash me, I'll consider you awesome.
Accompanied by the applause of the crowd, the graduation ceremony concluded smoothly. As soon as Tsunade and Isamu walked off the podium, Nawaki rushed over. "Older Sister!"
Seeing Nawaki, Tsunade smiled and stroked his hair. "Congratulations, Nawaki. From today on, you are a Genin."
"Thank you, Older Sister." Nawaki hugged Tsunade directly. He and Tsunade were not only relatives but also had a very close relationship.
"Nawaki, didn't you see that someone else came too? Say hello." Seeing Nawaki ignoring Isamu, Tsunade reminded him.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to come today either." After calling him brother-in-law, Nawaki looked displeased.
"I probably won't have the chance in the future. Once your sister and I have children, we won't be looking after you anymore." Regarding Nawaki's attitude, Isamu then said this.
"What nonsense are you spouting? There are people here!" Tsunade blushed and pinched Isamu with her hand.
"Hmph, that's perfect. No one will be in charge of me anymore, and I'll be free." Seeing Isamu say that, Nawaki turned his head away directly.
