The Senju Clan's Little Warrior
*chapter 6* travel

...----------------...

After yesterday we had a good time (only Tsunade and Shizune) shopping for clothes, it was time for us to leave for the southern village.

Since this was Tsumaki's first long trip, she was quite anxious and hesitant at first, but the feeling instantly dissipated as her eyes caught the silhouette of Tsunade's back that looked sturdy and strong. Although he knew that, that back had carried a very heavy burden from long ago.

He has decided to be strong. Therefore he should not hesitate now, because this journey was the first step for him to become stronger like his other family.

Now they have traveled half way, and are resting under a fairly shady tree.

"Auntie," Tsumaki's cute voice breaks the silence between her and Tsunade, while Shizune's been 5 minutes ago to get water in the river to fill their drinking water supply.

the intersectional wrinkles were imprinted on Tsunade's forehead.

"I told you to just call me Ne-san" she said.

From the beginning Tsunade objected to the call "auntie" Tsumaki had pinned on her. Oi! he still deserves to be called ne-san, after all he doesn't like to be called "aunt" it makes him feel old.

Ignoring the protests of Tsunade.

Tsumaki continued asking.

"Bi, do you think I should avenge my father and mother?."

"But my father told me to live as I wanted and he also said that revenge would not give good results" he explained.

"Revenge will only give birth to hatred and bloodshed, on the one hand I want to kill the one who has made us suffer. but on the side copy my father's words always haunt me and make me rethink revenge." Clenched hands tightly venting out all the pain he had been in all this time .

Tsunade who was on the other side of the tree could only be stunned when she heard such a heavy question even for the size of an adult like her.

His heart was slashed when he heard this question coming out of the mouth of the little boy who had just smoothly written yesterday, who just yesterday gave a sweet smile to him while holding a paper containing the inscription of his name.

He thought Tsumaki was not thinking about this because all she showed him was the carefree face of a child. Looks like Tsunade was relieved too quickly.

Sighing for a moment, he admitted, he is indeed not a good person. And he also knows the rottenness of this ninja world. So she could not give good advice as her brother had advised her first.

"Son, follow your heart. If you want to then do it, but if there's a speck of doubt in your heart then don't do it." Delivering a soft mane as black as soot with a mixture of ash colors below that makes it look more beautiful.

...----------------...

pov Tsumaki's

I gasped in shock when a warm hand gently stroked my hair.

looking up at my head as soon as my netra collided with the iris of a beautiful eye, as beautiful as a green sapphire looking at me with an affectionate gaze.

not feeling the water droplets have flooded my cheeks for some time.

I frantically tried to wipe away my mischievous tears that did not want to stop coming out, until there was a pair of tapered hands erasing them slowly.

"Don't rub it hard, look!.Your cheeks are so light, "he said with a small oddity that somehow sounds very melodious and soothing.

"Don't think too far, focus on continuing to grow tall and get stronger. My neck hurts if I have to keep my head down when I see you, boy," she rubbed it with an annoying smile when Aunt Tsunade finished wiping away my tears.

the atmosphere was gone when I heard the ridicule about my height.

"Hey! it's because I was a kid! later if I grow up I will grow taller than you! " with a growl I rose up with my arms in support, my lips chipped in annoyance.

No one can insult my height. That's absolute!

As I was busy with the innocent grass on my leg that I was treading on² violently, there was a sound of laughter that was quite loud from the direction of my aunt.

Ahh, this is the first time I've seen aunt laugh after this. Usually I see aunty likes to put on a sad face with blank eyes.

I also found her crying alone in the middle of the night.

Quiet for a while, I also returned the sound of his laughter with my best cheerful laughter, no matter, I would be called short if it could make aunt laugh freely like this.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Finally after taking 2 days of travel is quite tiring. We also arrived at a village that felt very beautiful and refreshing.

The village does not yet have a large population, mostly only parents and some mothers and young children. Rarely there are young people here, said the locals, the young man here went to other countries and worked as a banyaran ninja there.

It is seen that the residents of this village are friendly² ², because when we walk in the middle of the village many greet while giving a smile, they also happily lead us to the one inn here.

...----------------...

"Woahhh, what a beautiful view from this balcony," he was amazed.

"hmm, you're right. The air is very cold here," said Tsunade

looking down with a small smile, Aunt Tsunade stroked my hair "Are you so impatient? " taught.

"Of course!! " call me excited.

"Tsumaki-chan, come here," call Aunt Shizune from the bed.

"Auntie, I went there first" I asked for permission.

Aunt Tsunade simply nodded in return.

soon I ran over to Aunt Shizune who seemed to be arranging some ninja scrolls.

"Auntie, what is it? " Let's be curious.

"This is a scroll that contains everything that smells medical, "he explained, handing a scroll to me.

staring at the kanji-studded scroll in my hand with a sparkle.

"Well, your first lesson, learn and memorize all the scrolls, "said Aunt Tsunade who arrived just by the side of my seat watching our interaction while holding her chest.

"Good! " return.

...----------------...

We settled in the village with brackets for quite a long time because it turns out that there are very many things about medicine that help Tsumaki learn there.So Tsunade decided to settle in this village.

During that time, the people who used to terrorize Tsumaki suddenly disappeared somewhere. Is it possible that they are afraid of aunty, my mind asked in wonder.

I once asked him, but only answered with a small smile.As if telling me not to worry. That's why after all this time, I can finally sleep well every night.

Although I still have to be a little wary because sometimes I feel someone watching me from afar.

......................

For 2 years they have lived there. And there have been thousands of failures that Tsumaki felt when studying medicine.

I do not know how many fish he had to eat because of his failure to cure the fish. It feels like he's traumatized by the taste of the fish now.

But all his struggles to bear fruit, he is now able to control his chakra very well and has been very skilled in concocting drugs and distinguishing medicine²tan.

Even now he already knows the secret Kekkei genkai belonging to his mother's clan that was passed on to him. And he guessed most likely this jutsu is what makes it in incar.

starting when he was frustrated when the 100th experiment cured the fish, he accidentally changed the shape of the fish to be very strange.

Tsunade and Shizune were surprised to realize that the fish's internal organs had changed too.Tsumaki had fallen when Tsunade said that it was a kekkei genkai that was very dangerous because it could change the structure of the body living beings and kill him in an instant (kek strength mahitod jjk glah pokonya).

But Tsunade immediately calmed him down and said.

"All those powers would be dangerous if they were in the wrong hands, even as weak as they are, so you just need to use that kekkei genkai for the good, for the good," Tsunade said in a soothing tone.

It was from there that I began to learn to develop the Kekkei genkai for medical purposes, and yes, although I have failed countless times, but I began to find the bright spot that this Kekkei genkai would be very useful in surgery or internal healing.

Or maybe I can even knock off a missing limb if I keep developing?!

well, hopefully, because I'm not sure enough, it's very difficult to practice this jutsu because I have to do it myself. aunt Tsunade and Aunt Shizune can only give a small tip² because they do not know this jutsu.

......................

It didn't feel like 3 years had passed, and now I'm 12. I've been proficient in taijutsu and mastered some elements such as wind and water thanks to Aunt Shizune's guidance .

My medical technique is also worth a thumbs up because I immediately learned from the expert is one of the legendary sari sannin SENJU TSUNADE my beloved aunt.

Now we're on our way to another village after a tear-jerking farewell with the villagers and my beloved mochi-seller uncle.

'I will miss you uncle mochi,' My inner self is exaggerated while wiping away the false tears in the corner of my eyes.

"What's wrong with that boy? is it because most people eat mochi that he's going crazy now? " Aunt Tsunade's cruel question seemed to make an arrow penetrate my heart.

Continued with a crisp laugh Aunt Shizune saw the conversation between families who were already very familiar in her eyes .
