With your medical knowledge, Itachi can learn medical ninjutsu after mastering Jin Gang Suo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma quickly explained: “Master Tsunade, Itachi misunderstand—I’m not the one who wants to learn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki smiled: “I know who it is—Miyu, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded: “Miyu is from the Hyuga clan.

The Hyuga clan would never allow such a thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Jiraiya, why negate something before even trying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma countered: “As a ninja, holding rigid, fixed impressions about certain things isn’t wise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya: o(╯□╰)o!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, the Great Toad Sage of Myoboku, Jiraiya, was just scolded by a ten-year-old kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiraiya flustered, everyone couldn’t help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade crossed her arms, looking at Fujinaka Genma: “If she wants to learn medical ninjutsu, she doesn’t need to come to me. The Hyuga clan can easily find her a teacher.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma sighed and shrugged: “While holding rigid, fixed impressions about things isn’t wise, it’s not useless information either.
