IShinobi (I Will Be A Ninja My Own Way With ***** System) - Chapter 43. 9

Right now walking in the streets of hidden leaf there’s a trio composed of a red-haired woman, a pitch-Black haired woman, and a half red, half silver platinum-colored hair boy had a rather good atmosphere around them. Since Ingenuus was completely ‘immune’ to Kushina’s teasing she was getting ‘slightly’ competitive and wouldn’t stop until it worked at least once but Ingenuus seemed to always have an answer on the tip of his tongue making Mikoto almost choke to death from laughing so much at seeing how frustrated Kushina was at such an idle matter when she usually took everything a bit too calmly and relaxed, so seeing her like this unlike her occasional rage burst was a very funny and pleasant scene for Mikoto so as time went by and they walked to the hospital Ingenuus was receiving some notifications.

[Bond with Mikoto has increased by 1 point]

[Bond with Mikoto has increased by 3 points]

[Bond with Mikoto has increased by 1 point]

[Bond with Mikoto has increased by 2 points]

…..

And so on the notification went on, at first Ingenuus was thinking this is too easy but then discovered that the friendship bond which is the first part of bond stars at 0(nothing) and 100(true friends) is highest while -100(true nemesis) is the lowest. Then there are other bonds like love and family bonds, they work in different ways but have the same basis.

It also seems to get harder, as one progresses towards 100, but Ingenuus is not exactly in a hurry since he has a good amount of time to work with.

During these interactions between Ingenuus and both beauties, he was also paying attention to his surroundings observing everything that happened, from people walking by too small animals like rats not missing anything. Ingenuus has always been thought that no matter where he goes he has to have at least 18 escape routes prepared so that if things go wrong he’ll have a way out.

They walked for a while longer before finally reaching the hospital, once inside many medical ninjas and even some patients looked at Ingenuus with curiosity and admired his cuteness, some even envious of him since he was with two beautiful women even though he’s just a child.

First Ingenuus was taken to be examined by various different medical ninjas who were very surprised by Ingenuus physique and got even won’t when they learned his age after they were done with all the exams many of the female medical ninjas were considering introducing their daughters, younger sisters or even nieces to Ingenuus while the others were worried and just wanted Ingenuus to stay away from their families girls around his age, the comments went on as rumors started spreading in the hospital and even to the village in an alarming speed.

Kushina and Mikoto didn’t know what was the reason there was such a big commotion in the hospital especially in the room where Ingenuus is getting examined as the medical ninjas come and go with various levels of surprise and depression. After a little they decided to go and check on Ingenuus, passing by many medical ninjas who seem to already be gossiping about Ingenuus, they reached the center of the room where a medical ninja was getting Ingenuus measurements taken.

Leaf medical ninja: “Ok, his height is 126cm!”

The medical ninja said to her colleague who immediately wrote it down beside a lot of other information they got. Ingenuus is no idiot and is aware of all the information their getting and it’s nothing that would trouble him the only thing bothering him is why they suddenly decided to fully examine him even if they were curious they can’t just decide that on their own so Ingenuus has his suspicions on who ordered this.

Leaf medical ninja: “Now, big sis needs you to take your pants and undėrwėȧr off, so that I can finish checking if you’re not hurt anywhere, ok?”

She said with a smile while looking at Ingenuus who was just looking back at her with a deadpan expression as he simply stood there motionless.

Kushina: “Hey, weren’t you just supposed to check if he’s fine what’s with all this?”

Kushina asked as she saw Ingenuus completely still and questioned if something was wrong since he’s usually quite the silver tongue.

Leaf medical ninja: “We were strictly ordered to do a full examination of this boy.”

Said the leaf medical ninja with a serious expression that doesn’t seem that of someone lying.

Kushina: “But-.”

Kushina was about to refute the leaf medical ninja but was stopped by Mikoto who gave her a look that says don’t.

Mikoto: “Might we know who ordered you to do that?”

Mikoto calmly asked in a manner that completely differs from Kushina.

Leaf medical ninja: “Lady Tsunade was the one who ordered us to do so”

She said slightly bothered by their questioning but didn’t change her attitude and simply answered.

Ingenuus who was hearing their conversation actively wasn’t surprised that Tsunade was mentioned but was wandering who did information about him get to her so fast.

Mikoto looked at both medical ninjas for a bit and apologized for their intrusion but asked to stay there since they were the ones who brought him. Not finding the patience to refute her words the medical ninja simply agrees but tells than that if they’re too noisy they’ll have to leave and both Kushina and Mikoto agree.

While observing the situation Ingenuus started gawking at Mikoto, in the same manner, he had at Kushina from top to toe. Mikoto who noticed the boy looking at her just as intensely as he had looked at her friend a while ago started laughing and said.

Mikoto: “Hahahaha, am I also very pretty like Kushina? Or am I super pretty?”

She said with a slightly mischievous smile on that didn’t appear too much on her gentle expression.

Mikoto is a fair-skinned woman with long, straight black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face too roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes. She’s wearing a simple dark purple blouse with a red-plum skirt and blue shinobi sandals. Ingenuus also thought she’s a very beautiful woman in a different way from the beauty Kushina expels making it more interesting to look at them both together.

Kushina: “Not fair Mikoto you’re trying to make him say you’re better looking! You should just let him say it himself”

Kushina immediately reacted seeing how Mikoto was ‘persuading’ Ingenuus into saying she’s better looking than her.

Ingenuus who wasn’t really minding their competition at all simply answered what he thought.

Ingenuus: “Hmm, you’re also very pretty”

Ingenuus could have teased Kushina by saying Mikoto is super pretty but he felt like he would never get out of the hospital if he did so.

Mikoto was slightly disappointed but soon got her beautiful smile back while Kushina started making fun of her for her failed plan to get ahead of her.

Both the medical ninjas simply ignored the duo and resumed where they stopped at and this time Ingenuus took his pants off pretty naturally. It’s not like Ingenuus has no inhibitions in regards to showing his body he just thinks his current body is too young for him to worry about that.

Once Ingenuus removed his pants and undėrwėȧr everyone in the room had a blank expression as if their brains stopped working for a second before restarting, Kushina was the first one to comment.

Kushina: ” Don’t we have a little monster here?”

She said looking at Ingenuus ȧssets with wide-opened eyes.

Mikoto didn’t say anything and simply nodded in agreement while the two medical ninjas did the same thing, we’ll who can blame them for their reaction since they’re looking at a boy they believe to be around 8 years old with a 16cm little brother while in it’s for dormant state which looks completely disproportional to the rest of his body.

Kushina: “Aren’t you a little developed for an 8-year-old?”

Kushina said her thoughts not minding those around her at all.

Ingenuus: “I’m 4 years old”

Ingenuus said with his indifferent expression while all the women in the room had different levels of disbelief of the words just said.

Mikoto: “Shouldn’t you two finish examining him?”

Mikoto who was the first one to come out of the dazed state just hurried both medical ninjas to finish as fast as possible and while this was happening both Mikoto and Kushina took a chance to look at the data they got on Ingenuus finally learning his name which both forgot to ask not that it bothered Ingenuus at all since they would eventually learn his name and most information there isn’t the important.

After a bunch of other exams, they gave Ingenuus a bath and then new clothes for him to wear that consisted of a long-sleeved white T-shirt and the common ninja pants with some white boxers and typical ninja sandals since they didn’t have much else to give him but it still looked good on him, even both Mikoto and Kushina couldn’t stop cuddling with him saying he’s too cute for them to resist and Ingenuus was just happy to live the moment and feeling the happiness of having to beauties cuddling with him at the same time.

Before leaving Mikoto and Kushina were having a discussion on who’s going to adopt Ingenuus and none of them were backing down in the slightest not even when Kushina mentioned that Fugaku might not agree, while Mikoto simply said that Minato might say something like it’s not the right time to have a child in their care and both kept throwing arguments at each other when one of the medical ninjas came to call them to go meet Tsunade.

Not having much of a choice they follow the medical ninja to meet with Tsunade and after walking for a while on the corridors of the hospital they finally reached a door that is Tsunade’s office, they knocked the door.

Tsunade: “Who is it?”

She asked with a tired voice of someone who hasn’t had a good night’s sleep for quite a while. Ingenuus ȧssumed this was the result of her having to deal with the hospital’s management while in time of war with her fear of blood and her hatred for war, it must be stressing her up to the limit. Not forgetting they also want her to develop new healing methods and pills all at the same time.

Leaf medical ninja: “Lady Tsunade, I have brought the boy, miss Mikoto, and miss Kushina here just like you asked”

She said in a very polite manner and even though she was not even facing Tsunade she was already behaving accordingly even in terms of expression.

Tsunade: “Let them come in”

Once again her tiredness was noticeable in her voice which made Ingenuus feel that they really lacked in the way they did things.

When Tsunade authorized them to go in they did so and went inside leaving behind the medical ninja who had guided them there. Inside they saw a blond woman mixing some unknown chemicals very slowly while a black-haired woman behind her watched attentively to her movements.

Ingenuus fixed his scanning gaze on the black-haired woman who was behind the blond woman, Ingenuus didn’t expect to see her yet but here she is Shizune, Tsunade’s loyal secretary that always follows her around being her closest friend. When she heard the footsteps Shizune turned around and Ingenuus took the chance to have her a good look.

Shizune is a fair-skinned woman of average height and slender build with onyx eyes and jet-black hair; her hair is straight and shoulder-length with bangs that cover her ears and frame her face, she’s wearing a long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings, held closed by a white obi, and open-toed sandals with low heels.

Shizune: “Do you need something?”

Shizune said to Ingenuus who looked her in the eyes when she said so and she was softened a little by the cheer cuteness in front of her.

Ingenuus: “Sorry, I always get distracted when looking at a very pretty woman”

Ingenuus said without moving his eyes away but his words caused both Kushina and Mikoto to think ‘this kid is an ogler and a womanizer’. Mikoto just looked at the situation with a slight wryly smile while Kushina.

Kushina: “Hey! Are you just gonna keep saying that to every girl you?! That’s no way to be a man! Dattebane!!”

Even though she wasn’t exactly angered Kushina lectured Ingenuus in a loud voice yelling at him. Ingenuus heard her words and nodded in agreement then he turned to Shizune and said.

Ingenuus: “you’re beautiful”

Ingenuus the moment he said that Kushina exploded and tried to ‘put some sense’ into his mind but was stopped by Mikoto while Shizune who somewhat understood the situation and started scolding Ingenuus who was containing himself not to laugh at Kushina’s reaction.

Tsunade who was just there hearing everything while trying to concentrate turned around with a serious expression and.

Tsunade: “hahaha!! So this is the kid, looks like we have a troublemaker”

When Tsunade turned around and said so in a much more vivid tone than before Ingenuus immediately focused on her too and started his gazing season.

Tsunade is a fair-skinned woman with brown eyes and straight blonde hair that parts above her forehead. Her hair has shoulder-length bangs that frame her face and the rest reaches her lower back. The Strength of a Hundred Seal – taking the appearance of a violet diamond shape – is clearly visible on her forehead. Tsunade is wearing a grey, kimono-style blouse with no sleeves, held closed by a broad, dark bluish-grey obi that matches her pants. Her blouse is closed quite low, revealing her sizeable cleavage also wearing open-toed, strappy black sandals with high heels. She has red nail polish on both her fingernails and toenails and has a soft pink lipstick. And She’s wearing the First Hokage’s necklace. Looking at her Ingenuus stopped to appreciate her beauty that is obviously very high.

Ingenuus: “An absolute beauty”

Ingenuus said so half wanting to and half let it out by accident, even though the words he used aren’t so out of the common for a child they’re still rather unusual but nothing otherworldly.

All the three girls behind Ingenuus just looked at him in disbelief seeing how much the child was already on the wrong path and they already started planning to correct him.

Tsunade: “Oh thank you brat, if you go on like that you’ll have a lot of problems in the future but right now I need to know more about you so tell me everything”

Tsunade said with an entertained expression as if she was looking at a somewhat more interesting future.

Ingenuus started telling his story and got ȧssaulted by questions again but this time answering without letting it annoy him since he had no other choice, Ingenuus noticed that since he became a child some of his actions got rather impulsive and even more impatient but he hopes it passes with time as he encounters situations like this one to practice after he answered all the questions, Tsunade hugged Ingenuus and apologized for pressuring him even though he was already having a tough time but also asked for him be a little more patient since he has to undergo the Yamanaka mind reading and then talk to the Hokage himself. Usually, refuge orphans like Ingenuus don’t just meet the Hokage on the first day but Ingenuus is a special case because of his abnormal physique.

After undergoing the Yamanaka’s mind-reading, they discovered nothing outside what Ingenuus said besides one or two mistakes Ingenuus made on purpose to not raise suspicion. Confirming everything is fine the four-woman calmed down a bit since there was still the fear something might have happened but they were happy to see Ingenuus was fine even though they didn’t have any major attachment to him yet, they all seemed to like a pity the cute boy for his situation where he has nothing and nobody, so they’re trying to be nice but are also enjoying to have him around especially when he starts teasing Kushina and everyone laughs it out in the end.

The girls noticed Ingenuus was not very expressive but he knew how to express himself better than most which were a very curious characteristic, Tsunade theorized that he must have developed it with memory loss. During their time together Ingenuus had the chance to touch each of them so he was constantly getting notifications.

[Bond with Mikoto has increased by 2 points]

[Bond with Tsunade has increased by 3 points]

[Bond with Kushina has increased by 6 points]

[Bond with Shizune has increased by 1 point]

…..

And so on he got many notifications like this and noticed that the hardest to please were Mikoto and Shizune who would increase way less than the others and at a slower rate.

Not loosing too much time they headed towards the Hokage Office, once they got there they wanted to knock the door but Tsunade just budged in with Ingenuus in her embrace since she pressured the other girls for the position and not even Kushina would like to try her luck with Tsunade.

-inside the Hokage’s Office-

Inside the room, there’s an old smoking while a bunch of paper was on his desk while he looks at it slightly nerved by it, yes this man is obviously Hiruzen the third Hokage. Then when Tsunade budged in with Ingenuus in her embrace the old nan sighed and looked at her for a little before saying.

Hiruzen: “Why is it that you destroy my office today?”

Hiruzen said as if he had already given up on trying to complain at this point, it seems like this is a common thing that has happened multiple times before.

Tsunade: “We don’t have time for your lazy old man complaints now, this boy here is Ingenuus Nostrix Zelos, the one I send you the message earlier today”

Tsunade said with a serious expression and Hiruzen moved his hand and all the hidden anbu left.

Kushina: “There’s still hidden anbu there… They’re gone.”

The moment Kushina said that their presence vanished.

Hiruzen cursed at Danzo’s audacity and apologized for his lack of caution.

Tsunade: “We can take care of Danzo later but now we have to decide who’s going to stay with this bubble of cuteness”

Tsunade said then started explaining everything to Hiruzen who worried about the child’s future since he didn’t like to see children carry heavy burdens. (AN: This has to be a joke! He lets Naruto deal with Kurama himself and Sasuke to deal with the death of his whole clan, not forgetting Shisui and Itachi. So this can only be a joke)

Hiruzen: “I can easily arrange for him to stay here and even give him to a family but what do you plan to do with him later considering his ‘condition’”

Hiruzen said slightly worried that if unchecked someone might try to use the child for wrongdoings.

Tsunade: “I plan to have one of us raise him but what he becomes is his own choice”

Tsunade said very determined to make her words true.
