IShinobi (I Will Be A Ninja My Own Way With ***** System) - Chapter 44. 10

Guys I’m here to say I made a mistake in the last chapter, for some reason I had in mind that Shizune belongs to the same generation as Mikoto and Kushina. I don’t know why I thought that but she should actually be 6-7 years old and I thought she was 15-16 years like Kushina and Mikoto but I was obviously wrong so I’m sorry. But I decided that instead of changing it to be the same as the original timeline since my fanfic happens in an alternative world different from the canon world changing some details like this in the time line isn’t that bad so just ignore this and think of Shizune the same age as Kushina and Mikoto which once again is currently 15-16 years old, in this world their all considered ȧduŀts so don’t worry about them not being able to adopt Ingenuus. Kushina was saved by Minato last year according to my research on Naruto’s timeline, as for Fugaku and Mikoto well, I don’t really know when their relationship started so I’ll Just put it as at the same time Minato and Kushina started.

Now a special thanks to MRAHH24 for helping me realize the mistake and giving me very good tips you’ve really helped me, man.

______________________________________________________

Ingenuus heard what Tsunade said and immediately started pondering which of them would make for the best mother not only because of the benefits that he would get from them but also from how he feels about each of them because of what he knows about them from his past life. Ingenuus started looking at them one by one and weighting things.

Kushina was the one who first jumped in to help him even though she was only causing trouble she’s a very friendly person who’s caring and will most likely take good care of him even though she’ll probably make a lot of mistakes but Ingenuus is worried about Minato’s sharp perception, not that he would get caught but it would probably hinder his movements somewhat. There’s also the fact she’s got a short fuse and explodes relatively easily making it hard to sometimes logically argue with her, not forgetting she’s somewhat childish at times but Ingenuus believes everyone has a childish side some people just show it more than others but Kushina is somewhat tomboyish and brute at times but it’s also part of her charm at least for Ingenuus. But maybe not a good choice since he needs Naruto to put sense to exist and distract the attention from him as well as solve many things Ingenuus does not want to lose time dealing with, so maybe.

Mikoto on the other is a very calm and gentle always thinking before acting which is pretty much the opposite of her friend Kushina, Mikoto would obviously make for a good mother, just like Kushina but a way more responsible and reliable one, and she would support him regardless of what he decided upon himself to do not matter if it’s bad or good at least that’s the kind of support she showed Itachi in the story. Fugaku wouldn’t be that much of a problem but would also somewhat trouble him and probably not want to raise him. In the end, Mikoto would be a good choice but staying with her might not work so well for her since she would probably dedicate too much time to Ingenuus and become a housewife instead of a strong kunoichi so, it’s best not.

Shizune is a very logical and rational person ending up being labeled as a cold-hearted person by many but Ingenuus doesn’t exactly agree she’s a caring person worrying about those around her making decisions based on heart instead of logic, she’d probably be a good mother but try to teach him more about the hardness of the world more them the two before making sure him develops into a fine and logical young man, considering her character there’s the possibility of her being overprotective but that’s just a possibility since she has no lover if would mean she would focus her attention on Ingenuus more but since she works for Tsunade there will always be times where he can move freely, so Shizune is a good option.

Tsunade is pretty cynical and rude to most people because of her past traumas but she seems to be nice to Ingenuus for some reason making him see her caring side, she would probably do for a great but overprotective mother that would build him into a fine ninja not only in combat but in the medical side, living with her would probably be a good environment since she’s single and rich because she didn’t start gambling all her fortune yet. She would probably be the best option. Besides, it would be a very pleasant experience to live with a beauty on her level.

Hiruzen: “How do you plan to choose who will take care of him?”

Hiruzen asked Tsunade who has a very decided expression on her face as if she has everything planned.

Tsunade: “Very simple Ingenuus will decide himself, this boy has a nice eye for women so he should know who to choose”

Tsunade said as she started teasing Ingenuus on his habit of ogling at women but she was also serious about letting him decide since she wants to test the little boy and know-how far does his perception and decision making go. Even though Ingenuus is just a child, he seems to be very sharp and careful with his wording in a way that most wouldn’t notice but Tsunade could get a glimpse of it.

Hearing Tsunade’s comment on Ingenuus bad habit the girls started laughing and pinching his cheeks to ‘comfort’ him. Hiruzen seeing their interaction was doubting they met the boy today since they seemed so familiar with him already.

Kushina: “He’ll obviously choose big sister Kushina since I’m his favorite right?”

Kushina said looking Ingenuus in the eyes with a pressuring aura that says ‘choose me, otherwise’ while they were pinching his cheeks and the other girls looking at her with disagreeing eyes.

Mikoto: “That’s he should decide himself since he’s a grown young man right Ingenuus?”

Mikoto said so also looking at Ingenuus with the same forceful eyes that Kushina gave him.

Shizune: “Girls he’ll choose whoever he feels is the best for him”

Shizune is the only one who seems to actually mean her words, was pinching Ingenuus cheek much stronger than the others while saying this.

The girls keep sending him pressure and before Ingenuus could even answer them, they would make more comments on why they should be chosen. Ingenuus never thought being cute could bring so many problems and was starting to think this might be a problematic situation for him.

Hiruzen: “Girls! Will you let the poor boy choose?!… I’m starting to worry about this one’s future.”

Hiruzen said looking at them behave like Ingenuus is cute puppy they all want to adopt, which is not a wrong way to think about it.

The girls focused on Ingenuus then looked at each other and then at Hiruzen who was smoking with a worried expression on his face.

Seeing all of them listened to him, Hiruzen sighed in relief and looked at Ingenuus who was now sitting on Tsunade’s ŀȧp with a thoughtful glint in his eyes while his expression was as indifferent as always.

Ingenuus who was concentrated in his own thoughts noticed Hiruzen’s gaze on him and could see that the old man was trying to get a picture of him, being cautious of his every move. Ingenuus knows that he’s probably going to be looking out for him and hopes they don’t bother him too much on an early stage even though he’s already developing alternatives to deal with it, it’s going to be troublesome.

Hiruzen: “So, young boy, Ingenuus was it?… Who would you like to live with in-between these four women?”

Hiruzen said the first part and wait for a response, he received a nod from Ingenuus then continued and asked who does Ingenuus chose, just like Tsunade, Hiruzen hopes to get a glimpse of the boy’s perception from this. He received the report about his well-built physique and unusual flexibility but they don’t know which clan he belongs to yet since Tsunade who’s the best medical ninja was occupied watching over the boy, so the exams to his blood will take some time and until then his clan will remain a mystery.

Ingenuus: “After thinking a bit, I chose Tsunade”

Ingenuus said with a small smile on his but it looked slightly awkward for the people around him, for some reason the moment he slightly smiled he felt chills down his spine and stopped right after.

Tsunade had a surprised expression on her face since she never expected to actually get selected and was only teasing the youngsters a bit but now that she was actually chosen she doesn’t know how to react to it, she thinks Ingenuus is not a bad kid compared to most and actually appreciates his cute presence, even so, she still doesn’t know how to feel about this, she’s thinking if she has time to actually raise a child but she stays home for a little, spends most of her time in the hospital and occasionally has to report to Hiruzen or a little of free time to drink but besides that, she has no time and to for the time necessary to raise a child… Tsunade doesn’t know if it will be possible for her. She started considering finding someone to take care of him for her but it couldn’t just be anyone… Before her thoughts could fly too high she looked at the three girls beside her and decided something.

Tsunade: “We will all raise him together”
