Chapter 205: Kiba: I Also Have the Potential to Become Hokage! [2/3]
The Inuzuka Clan.
The sounds of barking dogs filled the streets all the way there; the welcoming ceremony was quite enthusiastic.
Masahiko maintained a gentle smile.
At the end of the street, a large courtyard appeared, and the sounds of three youthful barks rose and fell within the yard.
Soon—
"Haimaru! Don't just bark wildly, you... Look closer, we have a guest visiting!"
A scolding voice came from inside the house, but the moment the speaker saw Masahiko, her voice quickly turned tender.
Masahiko couldn't help but chuckle.
Inuzuka Hana's face flushed slightly as she said, "Masahiko-sensei, I am very sorry. Perhaps because you don't come over often, these Ninken are a bit shy around strangers."
"I probably just returned from a mission and still have some scents lingering on me. It's no matter."
Masahiko gave a gentle smile.
Inuzuka Hana was slightly dazed for a moment, then she bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go call Mother!"
"Thank you for the trouble."
Masahiko nodded slightly.
Inuzuka Hana ran quickly toward the house.
A moment later, Inuzuka Tsume jumped directly down from the second floor, saying with some surprise, "Masahiko-sensei, didn't you go to the Hyuga Clan?"
"Senior Hiashi was too polite. We were all working for Konoha anyway, so it wasn't really worth a formal thanks. I just chatted there for a few minutes and left."
Masahiko explained, "Senior Tsume, I've come for the special training I promised Kiba during class. Is Kiba home?"
Today was the weekend, and there were no classes at the Academy.
Inuzuka Tsume nodded with a smile and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go wake Kiba up."
Afterward, she walked into the house with a calm and steady demeanor.
After she left, Inuzuka Hana walked out of the house, having changed her convenient vest for a long white dress.
"Sensei."
"Are you... going out?"
Masahiko asked with a smile.
Inuzuka Hana blanked for a second, then shook her head and hurriedly explained, "No, I have to learn medical arts from the clan elders in a bit, so I had to change."
"Oh, is it your clan's Veterinary Medicine? I've heard of it; it's very impressive."
Masahiko smiled.
"I don't want to learn medical arts,"
Inuzuka Hana said in a low voice, "I don't like it... I feel like it has no future."
"Veterinary Medicine is quite good."
Although he had traveled and rested, he still carried the scent of the battlefield, which made the Haimaru Brothers—who had keen senses but were untrained—very uncomfortable.
However.
At this moment, they no longer dared to bark wildly.
Because—
Masahiko had entered the courtyard!
"In the future, the various types of Ninken in the Village will only increase. Sooner or later, they will become a part of a Ninja's life."
Masahiko replied.
Then, he couldn't help but smile: "Of course, no one can say for sure what the future holds. It might even be an era dominated by various technologies."
"Technology?"
Inuzuka Hana was surprised and found it somewhat difficult to understand. She shook her head, "Hearing you say it like that, I guess being a veterinarian isn't so bad?"
"Of course. However, current veterinary techniques are indeed quite basic. After all, the Village's demand isn't high, and your veterinarians focus more on the specialized training of Ninken."
Masahiko was very patient as he guided her, "If you can further expand and elevate the veterinary industry to cover all Ninken and animals... you will be a great Ninja!"
"Really?"
Inuzuka Hana's eyes widened, unable to believe it—
Could it be that amazing?
"Of course, I have no reason to lie."
Masahiko nodded.
"Mm!"
Inuzuka Hana was encouraged.
Masahiko-sensei's words probably aren't just nonsense, right?
She thought to herself.
Immediately, Inuzuka Hana said, "Then, then I'll be going now!"
She ran quickly outside.
Behind her, the Haimaru Brothers wanted to chase after her, but they looked at Masahiko timidly. Finally—
They plucked up their courage to go around him and chased after Inuzuka Hana.
Only after they had chased a certain distance did the sound of barking return.
Masahiko smiled.
It was only then that Inuzuka Tsume came out from the shadows.
"Hahaha, I'm late! Cough, what you just said... was it for real?"
"Are you referring to the Veterinary Medicine, Senior?"
Masahiko asked.
Inuzuka Tsume nodded: "Yes."
"It depends on how you look at it. Combat-wise it might not be great, but for logistics and revenue generation, it's definitely strong. Moreover... if you want to make Ninken stronger, don't you have to understand them first?"
Masahiko said.
Inuzuka Tsume fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she snapped out of it: "Please come in, Kiba is already up."
It wasn't until she got upstairs that Inuzuka Tsume fully grasped the idea.
Logistics, revenue generation—
Indeed.
If they could master the techniques for medical Ninken and animals, setting everything else aside, just treating the pets of the noble ladies in the Capital would be a massive source of income.
By then, the Inuzuka Clan might not rival the Nara Clan, but they would at least be a wealthy family in Konoha, no longer confined to the training of Ninken and pet dogs.
Inuzuka Tsume's heart was racing with excitement.
She looked at Masahiko: "Masahiko-san, do you know much about this field?"
"I've only studied medical arts slightly and haven't really researched Veterinary Medicine. But if you have an interest in this area, we can discuss it in detail."
Masahiko smiled, "I believe the Village would also be supportive."
Inuzuka Tsume was very tempted.
The Inuzuka Clan certainly couldn't handle such a business alone. Furthermore, it sounded as if Masahiko had other intentions when mentioning this.
She didn't say anything more.
With Kiba present, it wasn't appropriate to discuss these things, and the setting wasn't private enough.
Kiba Inuzuka immediately apologized upon seeing Masahiko.
Masahiko took out the forged Ninja Toolss.
The Ninja Toolss were made of wood, mainly used for demonstration.
"Try them out. If you think they're suitable, then we'll make the real ones."
"Yes!"
Kiba Inuzuka took them and put them on as instructed.
Inuzuka Tsume observed from the side.
From their appearance, they looked like bracers and leggings, but they had sturdy, integrated thick spikes on the outer side.
In a normal state, they might not cause much damage.
But if they were rotating at high speed—
A picture formed in Inuzuka Tsume's mind.
In addition, these leggings were connected to some devices that assisted in applying force, yet they wouldn't overly affect the execution of their clan's secret techniques.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble!"
Inuzuka Tsume's heart was filled with emotion.
Kiba didn't have much of a concept of it; he just felt these things were great and was naturally happy.
"A person cannot stand without credibility. I said before that I would guide whoever took first place, so naturally, I won't break my word."
Masahiko smiled.
Inuzuka Tsume thanked him repeatedly, wondering in her heart how she should repay him.
Masahiko looked at Kiba Inuzuka: "Next month, I'll be holding a school sports meet. You'll have to work hard then."
"Yes!"
Kiba Inuzuka was incredibly excited upon hearing this.
After Masahiko left, Kiba said excitedly, "Mom, Sensei encouraged me individually. He must think I have the potential to become Hokage!"
"Silly child, don't overthink it. You don't have that kind of talent."
Inuzuka Tsume was distracted and answered very honestly.
"No, I'm a genius! I will definitely become Hokage!"
Kiba Inuzuka declared.
Inuzuka Tsume's cold eyes swept over him as she said, "Don't force me to hit you while I'm happy. I haven't settled the score with you for not waking up on time today!"
"I—I'm going to train!"
Kiba Inuzuka's face instantly turned ashen.
"Wait!"
Inuzuka Tsume said with a smile, "Take those things off. You're still young; I'll keep them safe for you."
