This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 270 The Genin of Konoha

Although the training grounds of the Senju clan were not as chaotic as the fourth training grounds, they were still in complete disarray.

"I! Won't! Go!"

Kana Uzumaki clung tightly to the thickest cherry blossom tree in the courtyard like an octopus, her red twin tails flailing wildly in the air, her face flushed red as she struggled with all her might.

Behind her, Kushina Uzumaki stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her with a disappointed expression. At her feet were several freshly filled Chunin Exam registration forms, all stamped with the seal of the Jonin Instructor: Kushina Uzumaki.

"Shannai! Get down here!"

Kushina stomped her feet in anger, showing signs of exploding.

"I even paid the registration fee and submitted the forms! This is Konoha's first joint Chunin Exams, it's a chance to show off and bring glory to the village! How can you back down?!"

"I don't want to show my face! I don't want to bring glory!"

Chanel shook her head vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears, and accused:

"Kushina-neechan, you lied! You clearly said you were just taking us to that newly opened yakiniku restaurant! But when we got to the Hokage Building, you betrayed us!"

"I just graduated! You want me to fight those bearded old men? I'd get beaten to a pulp!"

Standing next to Kana, Shizune also looked utterly dejected. She clutched Ton-Ton tightly in her arms and weakly echoed:

"Kushina-neechan... Kana is right. We've just become genin, and it's too dangerous for us to force ourselves to participate in this kind of international-level exam. Besides... Ton-ton is scared too."

"Pfft—" Tun Tun obediently shrank into Shizune's arms and let out a terrified squeal.

"What's there to be afraid of? Tuntun doesn't have to participate."

Kushina walked over, grabbed Kana by the back of her collar, and tried to "pull" her down from the tree.

"With me here, with Minato here, how could I possibly let you get hurt? Besides, I've been training you for months, and your chakra reserves and basic taijutsu are already far beyond those of an average genin!"

"Besides, I've heard that since this is a joint exam, many villages have sent newbies to broaden their horizons. Just think of it as playing a game!"

"I won't play! People will die from this kind of game!"

Chanel clung tightly to the tree trunk, using all her strength.

"I'm going to tell Tsunade! You're abusing children!"

"What kind of child abuse is this!"

Kushina crossed her arms in anger, looking down at Kana who looked like a koala, and tried to provoke her.

"Look at Kakashi! He graduated from the Ninja Academy at five and became a Chunin at six! Now he's even distinguished himself on the battlefield alongside Minato! He was way younger than you are now when he took the Chunin Exams, okay?"

Kushina pointed at Kana's nose and said with a look of disappointment:

"Don't you always call him 'White-Haired Little Brother'? Do you want to spend your whole life only seeing his back? What if he becomes a Jonin and you're still a Genin? Where will you put your face as the boss then?"

"That...that's different!"

When Kana heard Kakashi's name, her face turned even redder, but she still didn't let go of the tree.

"That white-haired guy is a pervert!"

Chanel retorted confidently, even adding a touch of aggrieved accusation:

"Besides, he inherited White Fang's genes! And me? I'm just an ordinary genin, even Shizune's medical ninjutsu is better than mine! What can I do there besides get beaten up? I don't want to go to a place teeming with monsters and embarrass myself!"

Kushina was speechless.

"No matter what, you're a child of the Uzumaki clan, how could you be inferior to those people?"

Moreover, Minato also praised the child.

Chanel's eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of something. She shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Tsunade-neechan—! Help! Kushina-neechan is sending me to my death—!"

Shizune, grasping at a straw, cried out, "Lady Tsunade, please persuade Kushina-neechan..."

"What's all the noise about! I just fell asleep!"

The sliding door of the main house was violently pulled open.

Tsunade, dressed in a loose yukata, carrying a half-empty bottle of sake, with messy hair and an impatient expression, walked out.

She let out a loud hiccup, her eyes glazed over as she watched the farce unfolding in the yard between the two red-haired men and the black-haired woman.

"Tsunade-neechan!"

Kana, as if seeing her own mother, tearfully complained, "Kushina-neechan signed us up for those Chunin Exams without our permission! We're going to get beaten to death!"

Shizune looked at Tsunade expectantly, hoping that this occasionally reliable elder could stop this crazy behavior.

However, after hearing Kana's accusations, Tsunade did not fly into a rage and punish Kushina as they had imagined.

She just leaned lazily against the door frame, took a swig of wine, and smacked her lips.

"The Chunin Exams? Oh, you mean that international tournament?"

Tsunade stroked her chin, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"It's fine."

"Huh?!" Kana and Shizune were both dumbfounded.

"What's so good about it! You'll die!" Kana protested.

"He won't die."

Tsunade waved her hand dramatically and said with great pride:

"With me here in Konoha, who dares to lay a finger on your heads?"

"Besides, Minato is one of the examiners. If he can't even protect you all, I'll hang him and that brat Nishikawa Toru on the Hokage Rock and roast them!"

Tsunade walked up to Kana, reached out and pinched her chubby cheek, her tone domineering.

"Besides, you are my disciples, Tsunade's disciples! If you don't even have this much courage, how will you survive in the ninja world? Go ahead, there's nothing wrong with having some fun. Just think of it as playing a game and testing what I've taught you over the years."

"If you can make it to the finals, or beat a few arrogant brats from other villages..."

Tsunade leaned close to Kana's ear and offered a fatal temptation.

"I'll personally sponsor you another 100,000 taels for spending money; buy whatever you like!"

"Ten...ten thousand taels?!"

Chanel's eyes instantly lit up like gold coins, and her hands, which had been tightly gripping the tree trunk, unconsciously loosened.

"Deal! It's just a fight! Who am I, Kana Uzumaki, afraid of!"

Seeing Kana's face instantly change and her fighting spirit rise, Shizune covered her face in anguish.

"It's over...it's really over now. Even Lady Tsunade has become an accomplice..."

Tun Tun let out a soft "pfft" in Shizune's arms, as if mourning for the upcoming exams.
