Aoba looked at Tsunade with some anticipation.
Right now, he had already learned sufficient medical ninjutsu, monstrous strength, and summoning technique.
Looking at it this way, what he could still learn from Tsunade now, among them the most useful, was only the Yin Seal.
However, reality gave him a punch right in the face.
Bang!
Tsunade's fist directly landed on his head.
"Brat, a ninja's training must proceed step by step. Don't aim too high!", Her expression became very serious.
"Hiss— Got it," Aoba sucked in a breath of cold air, clutching the big bump on his head, currently treating it with the Mystical Palm Jutsu.
But watching Aoba skillfully use the Mystical Palm Jutsu, Tsunade's expression slightly changed again.
'Maybe I shouldn't view Aoba from the perspective of an ordinary ninja. He is the most ridiculous genius I have ever seen.'
"If you're really in such a hurry, then start by learning some knowledge about sealing techniques."
"Sealing techniques? Why?", Aoba's head was still a bit buzzing; Tsunade's punch had left him somewhat dazed.
"The Yin Seal is a combination of medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques. If you want to learn the Yin Seal, knowledge of sealing techniques is absolutely essential."
"Sensei is willing to teach me the Yin Seal?", Aoba's face became somewhat excited. The Yin Seal was a godly skill for survival.
Tsunade later even became Kit-Kat Tsunade and still could come back to life after connecting it.
"Hmph! Whether you can learn it depends on your talent in sealing techniques. The difficulty of sealing techniques is much higher than that of medical ninjutsu."
In Konoha, compared to ordinary ninja, medical ninja were rare, but there were still quite a few. However, the ninjas of the sealing squad were even fewer than the medical ninjas.
"Sensei, I will definitely learn it!"
"Then I'll find you some books about sealing techniques tomorrow."
"Thank you, Sensei."
"Just talk back less in the future," Tsunade waved her hand, showing a nonchalant attitude, but then saw Aoba shut his mouth and stop speaking.
The veins on her forehead popped up again, thinking whether she should punch him once more.
"Sensei, can you tell me more about Lady Katsuyu's abilities?", Aoba quickly spoke.
Tsunade merely gave him a glare, then continued explaining.

Time quickly came to the next day.
[Morning]
[Hyuga Clan Grounds]
After breakfast.
"Ayako, do you need me to go with you?", Hyuga Hiashi looked at his wife Hyuga Ayako with some concern.
Hyuga Ayako's body was congenitally weak. She rarely left home on normal days, but today, surprisingly, she had changed into the light green kimono she only wore when going out.
She gently shook her head, her expression gentle, smiling as she spoke, "You are the clan head; it's not appropriate for you to accompany me. Having Hina and Hanabi with me is enough."
The worry on Hyuga Hiashi's face didn't disappear, "But your health…"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Hyuga Ayako stood up and walked toward the courtyard.
Seeing that Ayako had made up her mind, Hiashi didn't try to persuade her further.
———
In the courtyard.
Hinata was doing gentle fist exercises to help digestion. Sitting on the wooden steps was the small Hanabi, and beside her was Hyuga Natsu in a maid outfit.
Hanabi watched Hinata practice gentle fists, puffing her cheeks and letting out clear, bird-like laughter.
"Hinata, you're practicing Gentle Fist again. Why don't you take a break?", Hyuga Ayako walked out of the house with a gentle smile on her face, saying, "We just ate, it's not good to do intense exercise."
"Mom!", Hanabi, who was sitting on the steps, saw Ayako come out and immediately stood up and ran over happily.
Chakra was truly amazing, though Hanabi was only one year old, she could already run and jump.
Hyuga Ayako immediately squatted down and hugged Hanabi, affectionately rubbing her own face against the little girl's soft cheek.
"Mom," Hinata also stopped her movement and obediently walked up to Hyuga Ayako.
Hyuga Ayako stroked Hinata's hair and smiled, "Do you want to go with mommy somewhere?"

[Senju Ancestral Grounds]
[Inside Tsunade's House]
Aoba was reading books on sealing techniques, while Sakura was reading medical ninjutsu texts.
Tsunade was lying on the sofa watching TV, occasionally answering the two's questions.
Aoba found that sealing techniques were indeed hard to learn.
His talent in medical ninjutsu, when learning sealing techniques, only helped him with his near-photographic memory.
He didn't have the 'learn it at a glance' feeling he had when studying medical ninjutsu before.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A series of knocks suddenly rang out.
The three people in the room were all momentarily stunned. Except for when Tsunade had just returned to the village and people came to visit, no one had come for a long time.
Because Tsunade didn't like being disturbed.
"I'll go open the door," Aoba stood up first and went to open the door.
"Hinata?"
He immediately saw a cute little girl.
"Aoba-kun, good morning!", Hinata happily greeted Aoba. It had been a long time since she saw him in the morning.
"Good morning, Hinata. These two are?"
"You're Aoba, right? I often hear Hinata mention you," Hyuga Ayako smiled and introduced herself, "I'm Hinata's mother, Hyuga Ayako. This is Hyuga Natsu."
"You can just call me Aunt Ayako."
It was Ayako's first time meeting this little boy her daughter always talked about, 'He is indeed handsome and cute—very likable.'
'Hinata's mom?', This was also Aoba's first time seeing Hinata's mother. He had already met her father several times.
As a mother of two daughters, Hyuga Ayako didn't look old at all, she looked even younger than Ino's and Tenten's mothers.
However, the gentleness and purity in her eyes were exactly like Hinata's.
Wearing a light green kimono, she was full of the warmth of a Yamato Nadeshiko¹.
In her hand, she even held a bottle of what looked like very expensive alcohol.
"Ayako… Auntie, you're here to visit Sensei, right? Please come in!", Aoba stepped aside.
Hyuga Ayako and Hinata came in, but Hyuga Natsu remained outside.
"Hyuga Ayako?", Tsunade sat up, a bit surprised. She wasn't very familiar with the other party, she could count on one hand the times they'd met.
"Lady Tsunade, sorry for the sudden visit. Please forgive the interruption," Hyuga Ayako placed the wine bottle on the table. She also noticed a pink-haired girl sitting beside Tsunade.
'That must be the girl called Sakura. Hinata mentioned her too.'
"Is there something you need?", Tsunade was always straightforward and asked directly.
"Actually, I wanted to ask Lady Tsunade to check my health and prescribe some medicine for recuperation."
"Don't worry, I'll pay a sufficient medical fee to Lady Tsunade," The Hyuga clan might lack many things, but money was not one of them.
Tsunade, who was just worrying about money, heard there was cash coming in, and it was just a simple check-up without any bloodshed, her eyes lit up and she immediately sat up straight, "No problem!"
Aoba saw this and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Then I'll leave you to it. I won't disturb you any further," He placed the tea and, without caring about what the adults were going to talk about, directly went upstairs.
After greeting each other, Sakura and Hinata also followed him upstairs.
