Starting with the troublemakers of Konoha, the pressure extends throughout the entire ninja world.

For the first three laps, Qingyu consistently maintained a position around fifth.

Minato Namikaze was in first place, his steps incredibly light.

On the fourth lap, Qingyu accelerated.

He overtook the fourth and third place finishers, steadily following behind Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze sensed the movement behind him and turned around to look.

Qingyu grinned at him: "What's wrong? Future Hokage, afraid I'll catch up with you?"

[Pressure value +15]

[Obtained: Fragment of the Instantaneous Movement Technique x2]

[Body Flicker Technique (D-rank Ninjutsu) Synthesis Progress: 2/180]

Minato Namikaze's eyes lit up: "Shall we have a match?"

Both of them accelerated at the same time.

In the end, Minato Namikaze came in first, and Aoba came in second.

Yu Ishida walked over and looked at Aoba with some surprise: "Your physical fitness is pretty good."

"It's alright," Qingyu said, panting.

"It's just that I can't catch up with some geniuses, which puts a lot of pressure on me."

Minato Namikaze chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "The one with the tape on, let's compete again next time."

Looking at his smile, Qingyu suddenly felt a pang of guilt, as if her own conscience was missing.

But no way.

In this world, good people don't live long.

Rather than spending one's entire life as a base.

Why not become a troublemaker in Konoha?

After school, Qingyu did not go straight back to the orphanage.

He took Yakushi Nonou to the Hokage Building.

"What are we doing here?" Yakushi Nonou asked, puzzled.

"I'll hire a teacher for you," Qingyu said.

"Didn't you want to become a medical ninja? Medical ninja training courses aren't available yet, so you'll have to hire a private tutor."

"But……"

"Don't worry about the money, consider it a loan from me."

Qingyu walked into the mission hall and said to the female ninja behind the counter, "I would like to post a mission and ask a medical ninja to be my teacher."

"A Genin-level rank is fine, the mission will last for six months and is a D-rank mission."

The female ninja glanced at him, clearly not expecting such a young child to be issuing missions.

"D-level mission, 10,000 taels."

"Can."

Yakushi Nonou tugged at Aoba's sleeve: "It's too expensive..."

"It's not expensive," Qingyu said.

"Once you've mastered it, you can pay me back tenfold."

[Obtained: Medical Ninjutsu Talent Fragment ×1]

[Current level of Medical Ninjutsu talent: Rank E (accumulated from 21/60 to Rank D)]

Yakushi Nonou was silent for a few seconds, then nodded seriously.

Qingyu finished the formalities and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a familiar figure walked into the mission hall.

Tsunade.

She changed into casual clothes, her long golden hair cascading over her shoulders, her face expressionless, and walked straight to the counter.

"Lady Tsunade!" the female ninja said respectfully.

Qingyu paused in her steps.

This is an opportunity.

Tsunade is not yet the blood-phobic cripple she later became.

She is the strongest medical ninja in Konoha and a student of the Third Hokage.

If we could get the fragment from her...

They must have really drunk too much.

Tsunade is not as easy to talk to as Minato Namikaze.

She has a fiery temper and might resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

Moreover, she is the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

Tsunade, from the Land of Fire, has a natural class difference with commoner orphans.

It could be said that the sweat that flowed down was redder than Qingyu's blood.

It would be too risky to pressure her rashly.

Qingyu decided to observe first.

Tsunade stood in front of the counter for a while, seemingly looking at some kind of mission.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her fingers tapped unconsciously on the counter.

"I'll take this task."

After she finished speaking, she took a mission scroll, turned around and left.

As she passed by Qingyu, she glanced down at him.

"Hey kid, what are you staring at me for?"

Qingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Then he laughed.

"It's nothing, Lady Tsunade," he said.

"I just feel that you are not quite the same as the rumors suggest."

"What rumor?"

"They say you are the strongest medical ninja in Konoha, one of the Legendary Sannin, and the granddaughter of the First Hokage."

Qingyu then paused, as if thinking and organizing her next words.

"But you seem...not very happy."

[Current Chakra Control Level: Rank E (Accumulated from 31/60 to Rank D)]

Tsunade's expression changed.

She stared at Qingyu for several seconds, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Azure Feather".

"Qingyu..." she repeated the name, then suddenly chuckled.

"You're quite outspoken, but don't say that next time. Not everyone is as good-tempered as me."

After she finished speaking, she strode away.

Qingyu stood there, feeling cold sweat all over her back.

Eighty points of pressure.

It's taller than Minato Namikaze.

This shows that he touched a sore spot deep in Tsunade's heart.

Perhaps it was weariness of war.

Perhaps it was out of concern for her younger brother's future.

Perhaps it's a feeling of confusion about the direction of one's life.

No matter what it is.

He made a fortune.

Healing Palm Technique, superhuman strength, and chakra control.

This is the real gain.

"Aoba?" Yakushi Nonou called him softly.

Qingyu came to her senses.

"Let's go back."

He walked out of the Hokage Building, looked at the sunset over Konoha Village, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

This lousy system is unethical, but it's undeniably useful.

"Qingyu, are you asleep?"

The voice of Pharmacist Nonou came from the bed next to hers.

"Going to sleep."

"..."

"You're clearly talking," Yakushi Nonou muttered softly.

"I want to ask you, why did Lady Tsunade look at you like that today?"

Qingyu paused for a moment.

"Because I have a sharp tongue."

"You know that too?"

"Knowing is one thing, but it doesn't change."

[Pressure value +3]

[Obtained: Chakra Control Fragment x1]

Yakushi Nonou turned over, her yellow hair shimmering in the moonlight.

"Qingyu, why did you talk like that? You could have spoken properly."

Qingyu did not answer.

Why did you talk like that?

Because he needs to become stronger.

The world is about to enter the Second Shinobi World War.

The rope tree will die, it will break and die, and countless people will die.

He was an orphan with no background, no bloodline, and no talent.

Without the system, you wouldn't even qualify to be cannon fodder.

But he couldn't say these things.

"Because I'm a troublemaker."

That's how troublemakers talk.

[Pressure value +2]

[Obtained: Chakra Control Fragment x1]

Yakushi Nonou sighed softly and didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that it really is because Qingyu has no family.
