It might even make him refuse to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to get something out of this under a false pretense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it—I'd rather let Tsunade benefit from this than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why would Lady Tsunade give you a ninjutsu scroll? When did this happen? Why didn't I know about it?\" Minato was even more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya casually flicked his silver hair back. \"Obviously, it's because I'm handsome. Isn't that an easy question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether you're handsome or not, I can't say, but your thick skin is undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever. The real question is, should I learn this jutsu or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato looked at Takuya, torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya slapped him on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you should learn it! Why wouldn't you? The scroll's already been given to us; even\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if we don't learn it, the reward has been recorded. When we graduate, we'll have to pay it back through missions. Are you dumb?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let's ditch class and head to the river to practice. I'm sure the teacher will understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Takuya decisively chose to skip class, dragging Minato along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato thought about it for a moment, then followed Takuya over the school wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little punks!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the teacher came into the classroom and saw the empty seats where Takuya and Minato should have been, his eye twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously? I just gave you the reward scroll, and you immediately skip class?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Clone Jutsu was only a B-rank technique, not too difficult to master. It didn't take long for Takuya and Minato to get the hang of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go to class for me-I'm going to train.\" Takuya sent his shadow clone to attend class while he lounged at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he had no choice but to sit in class. Now that he had a shadow clone, who wanted to sit there bored and sleepy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you have plenty of chakra, you can afford to be a little indulgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Minato knew I was sending a clone to class while I hid away to train, he'd probably be furious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya sat by the river where he usually trained, holding a grilled fish skewered on a branch, grinning mischievously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more time he spent with Minato, the more he noticed how Minato's worldview was shifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato, who once idolized the Third Hokage, was now showing less admiration, thanks to Takuya's influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What impact this would have in the future, Takuya couldn't say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is what you're using the Shadow Clone Jutsu for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade suddenly jumped out of the trees and landed in front of Takuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you figure that out?\" Takuya asked as he flipped the fish over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously? Do you really think a shadow clone is the same as the real thing? I knew you had ulterior motives when you wanted to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and now I've caught you red-handed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade sat down casually, her eyes fixed on the grilled fish in Takuya's hand, making it clear she wanted a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You've got the bigger fists, so whatever you say goes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya handed her the grilled fish and started cooking another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade didn't hold back, taking big bites out of the fish. Watching her eat so heartily, Takuya couldn't help but worry she might choke on a bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you need something from me, Lady Tsunade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade wasn't the type to wander around aimlessly. If she had free time, she'd rather spend\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it sleeping in or enjoying herself at a casino.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The old man wants Jiraiya and me to go see him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hokage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya didn't think he was important enough for the Third Hokage to go out of his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of you and that little Minato.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade didn't hide anything. She tossed the fish bones and stick aside, dusting off her hands\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The old man wants Jiraiya and me to become jōnin instructors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still some time before this year's students graduated, so why was the Third Hokage assigning people so early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya didn't really care whose team he ended up on, as long as he was with Mikoto. If\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato was on the team too, that'd be great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, it couldn't be helped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the instructor wasn't Orochimaru, Takuya could deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really couldn't stand Orochimaru's mannerisms, especially when he'd flick out that long,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>forked tongue-it made Takuya's skin crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, does that mean you'll be the instructor for Mikoto and me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's possible,\" Tsunade said, crossing her arms. \"But it'd only be you-Mikoto Uchiha isn't being considered. After all, she's part of the Uchiha clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade noticed Takuya's gaze shift and followed it, only to laugh in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen enough? Want to get a little closer? You'll get a better look that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya coughed and rubbed his nose, embarrassed at getting caught sneaking a peek. It seemed like Tsunade had gone through another growth spurt. Her chest had gotten\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>noticeably larger since they last met just a month ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya had glanced at her unintentionally, and now he'd been caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Mikoto? Why isn't she included?\" Takuya quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikoto had stayed back a year just for him; if they couldn't be on the same team, what was the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade looked at Takuya but didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya could already guess some of the reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely a decision made by the higher-ups, more specifically, the Third Hokage. It had\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nothing to do with Tsunade herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't blame her for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, then Mikoto and I will form our own team and find a suitable third\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graduates of the Ninja Academy typically fell into three categories. The first were those who\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>graduated early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, the village would assign them to a team, or they could find their own, though those teams were usually unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Future Kakashi fell into this category, constantly changing teams because he couldn't get\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>along with his teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second group was students who graduated with their peers and were placed in teams by the village, with a jōnin instructor assigned as their leader. The less skilled teams might get a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>chūnin instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last group refused the village's team assignments and chose their own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn't be on the same team as Mikoto, Takuya would rather not accept the village's\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>team assignment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd prefer to team up with Mikoto on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya didn't believe that without a jōnin instructor, he'd starve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worst, they'd be a restricted two-person team. He'd take the chunin exam as soon as possible; once he passed, all their problems would be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong ninja could take on various missions alone, so a two-person team wouldn't be an\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And let's not forget, Mikoto was no slouch in terms of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team with just Takuya and Mikoto would be stronger than most chūnin squads. Since that was the case, why bother accepting the village's arrangement only to be split up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can't be on the same team, then Mikoto staying back a year and me skipping a grade will all have been for nothing. There's no need to discuss it further. After graduation, I'll team\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>up with Mikoto, and as for Minato...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be fair to drag Minato into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Takuya was sure Minato would jump at the chance if he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll respect whatever choice he makes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade frowned at him. \"Are you really going to do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya nodded. \"I don't want to be separated from Mikoto, and I wouldn't feel right if she\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>got placed on another team. If we can't be together, then I'll give it up. I choose to team up with Mikoto.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1322,"2026-06-05T21:22:30.528Z",1,"novelbin.me","643723fead575cfbbaf730ea3de91f436ac773f03123a72872812b177bc47be5","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-17","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-15",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
