บท 320: Chapter 320: Too Similar!
"Stop crying, let me heal your injuries first."
Seeing the two crying their eyes out, Shishou smiled and prepared to heal their wounds. This time, instead of using the healing insects, he decided to experiment with the Palm Sage Jutsu he had just mastered this year.
However, upon hearing Shishou's words, Kiba and Sakura felt even more saddened.
Though they had undergone training, the recent events had overwhelmed them, making them cry. Now, despite their sadness, they wiped away their tears, sat on the ground silently, and stared blankly at the sky, allowing Shishou to heal them.
After quickly healing Kiba and Akamaru, Shishou moved to Sakura, placing his hand on hers.
Although Sakura was a girl, Kurenai Yuhi hadn't held back during the sparring. Being a civilian with limited access to ninja techniques, Sakura was the weakest among them and had taken a severe beating. Her eyes were swollen, making her look extremely pitiful.
Under the healing effect of the Palm Sage Jutsu, Sakura's bruised and swollen face quickly returned to its original state.
'I have to admit, Sakura is really beautiful,' Shishou thought to himself. 'And that pink hair adds a lot of charm. No wonder both Naruto and Lee are head over heels for her.'
Watching Sakura's pretty face gradually regain its beauty under his hands, Shishou couldn't help but reflect. However, he preferred the more mature, married version of Sakura from ten years later. To him, that was when she had the most charm.
Seeing her injuries healing under Shishou's treatment, Sakura looked at him with admiration and gratitude. Then, she noticed Shishou staring at her intently.
Remembering the events of the previous day, Sakura's heart began to race uncontrollably, her face turning bright red. She lowered her head, unable to meet Shishou's gaze.
Noticing Sakura's reaction, Shishou frowned slightly, lifted her chin, and said:
"Don't move, there's still some swelling on your face."
With that, Shishou held her chin with one hand and continued healing her face with the other.
Forced to look up by Shishou's hand, Sakura felt even more embarrassed and flustered, wishing she could find a hole to hide in. However, since Shishou was healing her, she didn't know what to do.
She could only endure the turmoil in her heart and the pounding of her heart, looking up with her flushed face as Shishou treated her. Occasionally, she would glance at Shishou's serious eyes, and every time their eyes met, her face would turn an even deeper shade of red, outshining her pink hair.
While Shishou was treating Sakura, Kurenai Yuhi finished her training and stood up from the tree branch, secretly observing them.
Seeing Shishou's actions with Sakura, Kurenai frowned slightly.
If Shishou escaping from her shadow clone's pursuit with a shadow clone of his own had only slightly surprised her, his use of Palm Sage Jutsu at such a young age shocked her and affirmed his genius reputation.
However, more than these skills, what caught Kurenai's attention was Shishou's behavior with Sakura.
This behavior reminded her of that other playboy who flirted with her and then left her hanging.
Kurenai felt a slight annoyance at this memory.
Moreover, the fact that this young playboy shared the same name, 'Shishou,' with that older one made her even more displeased!!!
If Kurenai hadn't personally verified with the Aburame clan head, Aburame Shibi, that this young playboy was indeed Shibi's nephew and Shino's cousin, and a recent graduate of the ninja academy, she might have suspected that he was the older playboy in disguise.
Their flirting styles were just too similar.
Lady Tsunade had been just as flustered when the older playboy had made his move on her.
Sakura's current situation was exactly the same.
However, considering Shishou's age, Kurenai dismissed the idea as mere coincidence.
'Maybe this young playboy is really just helping Sakura heal?' Kurenai tried to convince herself.
"Alright, Sakura. You're pretty again."
Before long, Shishou finished healing Sakura's injuries and complimented her.
Hearing Shishou's words, Sakura blushed again, lowering her head shyly, and whispered, "Thank you."
It wasn't clear whether she was thanking him for the healing or the compliment.
"Go eat something," Shishou handed her the takeout and turned to rest against a nearby tree.
Sakura opened the takeout box and ate quietly, occasionally sneaking glances at Shishou, lost in thought.
Kurenai, watching from a distance, sighed silently.
Then, she used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Kiba and Sakura.
"Shishou, Kurenai-sensei is here."
Seeing Shishou still resting with his eyes closed, Sakura hurriedly ran over to wake him and pulled him to stand beside Kurenai.
Frowning slightly at the yawning Shishou, Kurenai looked at the three and said calmly:
"Your performance was okay, but your skills are still lacking. Starting tomorrow, I will take you on missions."
"That's all for today."
With that, Kurenai prepared to leave and return home to continue her training.
But just as she turned around, Shishou stopped her.
"Sensei, do you know the Shadow Clone Technique?"
Hearing Shishou's question, Sakura looked at him curiously, thinking: Shishou already knows that technique, doesn't he?
Kurenai frowned at Shishou, then glanced at Sakura.
Knowing Shishou had already mastered the Shadow Clone Technique and Kiba, being from a ninja clan, would naturally know it too, she quickly deduced that Shishou was asking on behalf of Sakura, a civilian student.
Realizing this, Kurenai's expression softened and she said:
"I'll teach her tomorrow. Meet here at ten in the morning."
With that, Kurenai used the Body Flicker Technique to vanish.
Kurenai's recent days had been filled with either drinking or training.
Having wasted too much time today, she needed to return and catch up on her training to meet her daily goals.

บท 321: Chapter 321: Dinner Invitation from the Inuzuka Clan
It wasn't until Kurenai left that Sakura realized Shishou had actually asked on her behalf. She quickly spoke up to thank him.
"Thank you, Shishou."
As a civilian student, she indeed needed to learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu the most, as it would significantly improve her ability to handle missions.
"We're teammates, after all." Shishou shrugged nonchalantly and started to walk away.
Seeing Shishou leaving, Kiba quickly called out to him, shouting, "Shishou, you and Sakura should come over to my house for dinner."
Hearing Kiba's invitation, Shishou stopped in his tracks.
He planned to continue his Senjutsu training later and wasn't very keen on having dinner at Kiba's house. But since Kiba had already extended the invitation and they were teammates, it wouldn't be polite to refuse outright.
Sakura, hearing Kiba's invitation, asked, "Is it really okay? Isn't it too sudden?"
Unexpected guests could cause trouble for the host.
Kiba, holding Akamaru in his arms, said, "This is my sister's idea. She said she wants to meet my two teammates."
Inuzuka Hana?
Hearing Kiba's words, Shishou raised an eyebrow.
As a member of a ninja clan and part of Kiba's circle, he had met Inuzuka Hana before, though Sakura had not.
"Let's go, Shishou, Sakura." Kiba called out to the two, leading them towards the village.
"Kiba, you go ahead. I need to go home and change clothes first."
Sakura looked at her dirty clothes and ran off. Since she was visiting a teammate's home, she couldn't go looking dirty.
Watching Sakura run off, Shishou also said, "I should change clothes too."
It was only around two or three in the afternoon, still a while before dinner. Shishou didn't want to spend too much time at Kiba's house.
Kiba, hearing this, rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Shishou, your clothes aren't even dirty. What do you need to change for?"
"Come on, let's go play some video games."
With that, Kiba placed Akamaru on his head and dragged Shishou towards his house.
They soon arrived at the Inuzuka household, where they found Inuzuka Hana preparing ingredients.
"Shishou."
Wearing an apron, Inuzuka Hana came out of the kitchen and greeted Shishou with a smile.
Then she turned to look at the dirty Kiba, her pretty eyebrows furrowing.
As the elder sister who had cared for Kiba since he was young, she was naturally upset to see his clothes dirty again.
However, to save Kiba's face, she didn't say much in front of Shishou.
Instead, she pulled Kiba out of the living room and upstairs, quietly asking, "Kiba, why do you look like this?"
Kiba glanced at his dirty clothes and knew he was in for a scolding.
He said helplessly, "It's from training with Kurenai-sensei. Her clone beat me up. I'm lucky to be back."
Hearing this, Hana frowned and thought of Shishou's clean appearance. She asked, "Then why is Shishou clean? Did Kurenai-sensei only beat you up?"
Kiba sighed, "Sis, Shishou is a genius who could have graduated early. He's amazing. Kurenai-sensei's clone couldn't catch him."
"So, yes, it's all from Kurenai-sensei."
Akamaru barked in agreement.
Hana glared at Akamaru, "Akamaru, be quiet."
Akamaru whimpered and jumped off Kiba's head, running away.
As a dog, it knew who held the highest authority in the house.
It couldn't help in this situation and was already brave to have barked once.
Seeing Akamaru run off, Hana looked at Kiba and said, "You're grown up now. From now on, you wash your own clothes."
"And go clean yourself up right now, understand!"
With that, Hana headed back to the living room.
Passing by, she saw Shishou playing with their ninja dogs in the yard and smiled genuinely.
She liked Shishou, who was known for his genius, maturity, and sensibility.
She was also pleased that he was in the same small team as her brother.
With Shishou looking after him, her reckless brother would be safer during missions.
Thinking this, Hana returned to the kitchen to continue preparing ingredients.
In the Inuzuka family's small yard,
The ninja dogs, seeing Shishou approach, ran off in fear.
As ninja dogs, they could instinctively sense the danger emanating from Shishou.
Especially his right index finger, which they found extremely threatening.
So, while Hana thought Shishou was playing with the ninja dogs,
the dogs felt they were being toyed with by Shishou.
Seeing the ninja dogs' wariness, Shishou was speechless.
Just as he was about to grab a few to play with, he saw Akamaru running out from the living room.
Catching the approaching Akamaru, Shishou playfully waved his right finger in front of its eyes.
He felt that the ninja dogs were particularly wary of his right index finger, as if it was something terrifying.
But Shishou's finger had only been used to enlighten many good-hearted animals. He didn't see why it was so frightening.
Thinking this, Shishou, under the gaze of the ninja dogs, casually enlightened a butterfly with his right finger.
Seeing the butterfly disappear instantly after being touched by Shishou's finger,
the ninja dogs were stunned and became even more terrified.
"Woof, woof, woof! (Don't come any closer!)"
Akamaru barked loudly, scared by Shishou's extended finger.
It had long sensed the danger of Shishou's finger, and seeing the butterfly vanish confirmed its fear.
If it had known it would be caught by Shishou in the yard, Akamaru would never have come.
"You must listen to me from now on, or there will be consequences."
"And don't tell anyone I threatened you, got it!"
Seeing the terrified Akamaru, Shishou's playful nature kicked in, and he teased it with a smile.
"Woof!" Akamaru barked and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Shishou laughed and released it.
As soon as Akamaru was free, it ran away, prepared to stick close to Kiba.
Watching Akamaru leave, Shishou turned to the other ninja dogs, grinning.
Seeing Shishou's devilish smile, the ninja dogs were terrified.
They all submitted to Shishou simultaneously.
They lay on the ground, wagging their tails.
