The day Suzuki spent learning medicine was good, but the next day came, and he had learned many things.
Still, strangely enough, Neko had decided to follow him, which made him speechless, yet he didn't say much as he felt that she might be tasked as his bodyguard or something, which he didn't mind, as he knew well that even if he saw his everything, it was impossible for her to copy him, especially when she didn't understand the theory, composite, and all other things that he tried to learn.
Also, he had nothing to hide.
Still, what left Neko speechless and baffled was that, instead of boasting or flaunting his status as a disciple of Hiruzen, Suzuki was focused solely on his work, training, and learning.
Anything else?
Suzuki was just resting, sleeping, or taking a bath.
Naturally, Neko didn't peek at him when he took a bath, but even if she did, she would see how Suzuki had tried to analyse the trademark jutsu of the Akamichi Clan, giving him a certain part of his body into that of a giant.
No, Suzuki wasn't joking around, since his "Manager" was really that awesome, as it helped him to analyze any types of jutsu and optimize it, giving him a better, perfect mastery over that jutsu than the original user.
Still, his "Manager" was just an optimizer, enhancing something that had already existed into something better, but it was impossible to create something from zero.
However, if Suzuki wished to, he should be able to use the "Manager" to do experiments, trial and error thousands of times, or more, before finding a way to create a new technique.
Regardless, Suzuki's life didn't change; it was the same as usual. Neko told only the higher-ups in the hospital about his status, and he didn't say it to anyone else, which made his life the same as ever.
Frankly, except for those higher-ups, the rest, the commoners, the peasants, and everyone else didn't know that he had become Hiruzen's student, and it didn't matter to him, as it was more comfortable this way.
If it was before, he wished to attract as much attention as possible, so it would be hard for Danzo to kidnap him, but with Hiruzen's protection, there was no need for him to worry about Danzo.
Right?
As he was in deep thought, all of a sudden, when he was at school for his graduation, he was called by his former teacher, Iruka.
"Suzuki-kun, can we talk for a bit?"
Still, while Suzuki talked with Iruka, Hiruzen talked with his three other friends, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.
"You took an orphan as your disciple, Hiruzen?"
"I am." Hiruzen nodded, then said, "Also, his name is Suzuki Tanaka. He is a good child, so don't bother him." In his mind, Suzuki should focus on improving himself, whether through jutsu, medicine, or other important knowledge, rather than being bothered by his three old friends.
"Okay." 2x
Koharu and Homura nodded, but remembered the name of Suzuki in their minds, telling their family to get close to Suzuki, since as Hiruzen chose Suzuki as his new disciple, it meant that Suzuki had a certain talent that attracted Hiruzen.
At worst, Suzuki was just slightly worse than the Sannin of Konoha, but what if he was beyond?
Before Suzuki grew up, the two had made up their minds to invest in him.
Hiruzen wasn't sure what Koharu and Homura were thinking, but he knew that they were just a waste and he had no need to worry about them, but—
"Hmph!" Danzo snorted. "You wasted his talent, Hiruzen! If he is at my—"
"Danzo."
Hiruzen's voice became cold. "I am serious. If you don't listen to me, do you want me to shut down your Root now?"
"....." Danzo.
"Calm down, Hiruzen. Danzo is just the usual."
"Yeah, there is no need to get serious."
For Koharu and Homura, the best way for them was for Danzo to exist, as that way, with Danzo and Hiruzen struggling, they had their own powers, too.
"That's why I am telling him now that you should just hide in the shadows like you usually do." Hiruzen was calm. "Suzuki is someone who should be in the light, and he is different from you, Danzo."
"Whatever." Danzo didn't care about Suzuki anymore, as he knew that he might attract Hiruzen's anger. "Instead of him, you should send that Fox Demon in my place! Under my direction, he will become a perfect—"
"Shut up, Danzo! If you just want to waste my time, just go home! I still have my job!"
"You will regret it, Hiruzen!"
"I am the Hokage! Go home, all of you, or do you want to help me with all of my paperwork?!"
"....." Danzo, Koharo, and Himura.
The three of them looked at Hiruzen's bloodshot, exhausted, and almost crazy eyes, then looked at the hill-like papers that almost swallowed Hiruzen, and then excused themselves.
"Sorry to bother you, Hiruzen."
"Do your best."
"Hmph!"
As the three left, Hiruzen rubbed his temple, then looked at the paperwork, and let out a helpless sigh.
Still, for Suzuki, who saw Iruka, who was completely injured, was dumbfounded when Iruka gave him several scrolls of jutsu.
"Iruka-sensei... this is..."
"It might not be much, but those are all the jutsu that I have collected in my life, and also from Mizuki's. I know that they might not be enough for you, but think of them as my thanks for your help, since if you weren't there, I might not be able to stay alive along with Naruto."
After Iruka was saved, he stayed in the hospital and thought about how to repay Suzuki. But frankly, as a teacher, while he had a stable income, it wasn't much, and he also knew that his money wasn't as much as Suzuki's, who had his own business, so he decided to give Suzuki all of the jutsu that he had collected from his parents till now.
The cruel fact was that, besides the three basic jutsu every student was required to use, it was almost impossible for a commoner ninja to gain another jutsu unless they stole it, learned it from their family, or bought it, which showed how much jutsu mattered to commoners, including Iruka.
Still, what Iruka wanted to say, with the work of a ninja, even if Hiruzen had always said that everyone was a family, he knew that everyone competed with each other, and because of that, while he knew that his collection of jutsu might not be much, he decided to give them to Suzuki as he believed that Suzuki could use those jutsu better.
"No, Iruka-sensei, those are too much for me, and I didn't help you because I wanted rewards."
"Please take them, Suzuki-kun! I insist! Please!"
"No, Iruka-sensei!"
"Suzuki-kun!"
Yet, in the end, under Iruka's forceful pushing, Suzuki could only reluctantly accept, before thanking Iruka, but inwardly, he laughed, successfully gaining more jutsu for himself.
Still, Suzuki wondered whether more jutsu would be better, but as the disciple of the "Professor," it wouldn't hurt him to gain more jutsu, as those jutsu, despite being weak, might give him an unexpected advantage, especially when Iruka also gave him a basic sealing technique along with some simple techniques.
Regardless, Suzuki didn't open everything immediately, as he had no need to, considering the "Manager" had already recorded everything, and more importantly, today would be his first day to be a ninja.
Nevertheless, unlike the commoners, who knew nothing, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and those who were somehow connected to them couldn't look away from Suzuki, as his status had changed.
"Suzuki-kun!"
Still, Suzuki knew his day would be a little troublesome.
