Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 30: So what if you have a hook?

Back in the cave, Genma noticed the slightly off atmosphere and smiled at Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro: "What's wrong?"

Shizune whispered, "I just feel that this Well-shaped Seaman is a very pitiful person. He must have been a good person before!"

Yamashiro Aoba nodded, then said, "While taking care of him is our mission, after learning some of the truth, it's hard not to feel... like we're helping bad guys."

Jingyin nodded repeatedly; she felt the same way.

Even though he knew perfectly well that Kaito Igata was actually a bad person.

Genma could understand Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro's confusion and dilemma.

They're all children.

Let alone them, adults should still be struggling with this.

After all, it was his first time "killing".

"Genma, what are your thoughts?"

"I asked Hatake Sakumo."

The reason he had Xuanma take action was because this disciple was far more mature than others his age.

Sakumo Hatake did not immediately try to persuade him, partly because of his disciple's maturity, and partly because he wanted to get to know him better.

Moreover, if Genma understands this, he can guide Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba better than if Genma himself were to "preach".

The flickering firelight made Genma's expression uncertain, but his tone was firm: "Teacher, my idea is that we shouldn't listen to what a person says, but rather observe what they do."

"Good people and bad people are not so absolute."

"Jingyin, am I a good person in your eyes?"

Silent nodded emphatically: "Of course."

Genma said, "But I just killed the Well-shaped Seaman. Do you think I'm a bad person? You don't."

Silent shook her head in agreement.

Genma smiled and continued, "But to the Jingxing Sea People, we are all bad people."

"Didn't the man from Igata Kaito deserve to die for the innocent villagers he murdered?"

"It's obvious."

"We were commissioned by the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire. The Daimyo's Mansion is the ruling institution of the Land of Fire. We are on the side of the Daimyo's Mansion and the side of those dead villagers. Therefore, it is reasonable for us to kill him."

Your position determines your perspective.

Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro nodded in agreement, and their discomfort vanished instantly.

Sakumo Hatake smiled.

With this disciple around, his job as a teacher is much easier.

He couldn't help but think of Kakashi and smiled to himself: Minato must be having a lot of headaches!

……

With their ideological issues resolved, the team rested for half an hour before setting off to leave the Land of Rain.

This time, Sakumo Hatake sped up the process, increasing the intensity of Genma and the other two's strength, and they returned to Konoha Village the following afternoon.

When they arrived, Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro both breathed a sigh of relief, their tired faces showing signs of relaxation.

Xuanma remained calm and composed, without even breaking a sweat.

This level of intensity is just average for him.

"This mission was completed very well. We'll rest tomorrow, and meet again at the Hokage Building the day after tomorrow morning."

"Disperse!"

After entering the gate, Hatake Sakumo announced the disbandment.

Genma still escorted Shizune to Tsunade's house.

"Lady Tsunade, I'm back!"

As soon as they entered the door, they started shouting loudly while the phone was on silent.

But no one responded.

Pushing open the study door, Shizune saw no one: "Huh? Where did Lady Tsunade go?"

Genma didn't think much of it: "They probably went to an izakaya!"

"Should we go look for it?"

Shizune thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, I'll wash up first, then cook some dinner and hangover soup for Tsunade-sama when she gets back!"

So sensible!

Genma sighed inwardly, then ruffled Shizune's hair: "Alright, I'll head back now."

Shizune smiled and waved, "Bye-bye!"

Xuanma waved his hand, took two steps back, and then disappeared using the Instantaneous Movement Technique.

……

When Xuanma returned home, the house was empty, but he found that his parents had already come home from get off work.

"Did you go for a walk after dinner?"

"I don't think so?"

Genma found no trace of having cooked dinner, shook his head and stopped investigating, heading straight for the bathroom.

He desperately wanted to take a bath.

After filling the tub with water and lying down, Xuanma immediately let out a long, comfortable sigh.

Then he lowered his eyelids and looked at the [Settings].

Setting value: 0.1

This is the outcome of this mission.

It can only be said that minor characters have a very limited impact on the world, or rather, on the human population as a whole.

So, is the course of the world dominated by a small group of people?

Xuanma secretly pursed his lips, then cleared his mind to rest.

After half an hour.

Genma, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, went out to find something to eat with his hands in his pockets because he didn't want to cook for himself.

Even under the cover of night, Konoha's commercial street remains bustling with activity, teeming with people.

"How about some barbecue?"

Genma suddenly stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant, thought for a moment, and then went inside.

"Huh?"

Just as Xuanma was about to find a seat, he suddenly stopped, blinked, and almost thought he was seeing things.

Sitting not far away were his respected Lord Lan Ye and his beloved Lady Yu Feng.

The two chatted and laughed, sipping their drinks.

They seem like a couple deeply in love?

This doesn't happen when we eat at home!

Was I an accident?

Xuanma turned around and went out the door.

As a single man, he doesn't like eating dog food (a slang term for witnessing romantic relationships).

Genma strolled around and stopped in front of an izakaya (Japanese pub).

He remembered that Tsunade liked to come here to drink.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Xuanma thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and went inside.

The receptionist was a tall, gentle-smiling young woman.

Seeing Xuanma enter, he quickly stopped him: "Little brother, this isn't a place for you~"

Genma immediately said, "I've come to see Lady Tsunade!"

The young woman paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you a ninja?"

"Lady Tsunade is over there, would you like me to take you there?"

"No need, I can go by myself."

Xuanma waved his hand and turned to leave.

He sat down opposite Tsunade, who was drinking alone, and without even greeting her, he directly called the waiter to order.

After ordering, Tsunade, reeking of alcohol, said, "Hey, this isn't a place for you."

Xuanma didn't care: "You don't need to worry about these things when you're eating."

"Lady Tsunade, aren't you going to ask us how the mission is going?"

Tsunade curled her lip: "Tch, with Sakumo-senpai around, even if the mission has some unexpected twists, it's not a problem."

"But now that you're back, let's have a go."

As he spoke, he took out a deck of cards from his pocket.

Xuanma twitched as he looked at the dough.

Having a cleavage isn't a big deal!

I wonder if you have children?

Genma despises Tsunade.

He'd be resting tomorrow, and now he felt no fear: "Lady Tsunade, you have no chance of beating me!"

Tsunade's eyes were slightly hazy as she pulled out two Jokers and placed them aside, letting out a soft snort: "Don't get too cocky, brat."

"This time we'll compare points. Each person gets two cards. Do you know the rules?"

Xuanma nodded: "I understand."

"If Lady Tsunade loses, you'll treat me to this meal; if I lose, I'll treat you to drinks. How about that?"

Tsunade quickly shuffled the cards: "Very well, it's settled then!"

After the shuffling was finished, Tsunade dealt Genma's card first, and everyone took turns receiving one card.

After the cards were dealt, Xuanma immediately flipped over two cards at once, revealing a 10 and a 9.

19 points!

Tsunade's eyelids twitched: How come this guy is so lucky?

However, she still has a great chance of winning.

Taking a deep breath, Tsunade flipped over the first card, which turned out to be a flower card.

"Hahaha, you're definitely going to lose this time!"

Tsunade beamed with joy.

Then she carefully, little by little, revealed the second card.

Suddenly, Tsunade's expression changed, and her smile gradually disappeared: Oh no, it's not a flower.

It must be 10!

Tsunade took a deep breath, continued flipping the lid, and then her expression changed again: It's not 10 either!

A!

Genma knew he had it in the bag from Tsunade's constantly changing expression; it seemed he could get a free meal tonight.

Snapped!

Tsunade finally threw down the playing cards, completely deflated; one of them was an 8 of diamonds.

"You're lucky today!"

Tsunade hummed softly.

Genma, having gained an advantage, immediately reached out and put the cards away, laughing, "In terms of skill, I'm definitely not as good as Lady Tsunade, so I can only rely on luck, and luckily, I'm on a good track right now."

Tsunade's expression softened a bit. She took the card, put it away, and returned it to its original place.

Then the waiter started serving the food.

The meal included beef, lamb, vegetables, and shrimp—a very generous spread.

"I'm starting to eat!"

With a shout, Xuanma picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Tsunade rested her cheek on her hand, occasionally taking small sips of wine.

But seeing Xuanma eating so happily and with such relish, her stomach started growling uncontrollably.

I'm hungry!

want to eat.

Tsunade pursed her lips, then suddenly slammed her hand on the table and called over the waiter: "Give me one of his, quick!"

Genma smiled slightly as he looked at Tsunade.
