Chapter 115 Junior Sister Becomes Senior Sister?!
Uchiha Itachi suddenly opened his eyes, his blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan swirling within them, two different memories flashing through his mind like a slideshow.
Finally, when Itachi Uchiha tried to recall the events, all he could remember were his current experiences.
What is that...?
The one who slaughtered the Uchiha clan... was me?
Uchiha Itachi sat listlessly by the bed for a long time. Rather than another memory, what he saw was more like a nightmare, a nightmare full of illusion and etherealness.
With the inauguration ceremony for the Fifth Hokage approaching, the Uchiha clan, who are in charge of the Konoha Police Department, are on high alert.
The Third Hokage is currently in a coma, and the Anbu, to which Itachi Uchiha belonged, is temporarily under the management of the Fifth Hokage.
After breakfast, Itachi Uchiha went out with Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke, when did you awaken the Three Tomoe?" Itachi Uchiha asked him.
“It must have been Haruko who said it.” Sasuke Uchiha replied with a hint of pride. “Yeah, it was activated after the battle with that S-rank rogue ninja.”
"Yeah……"
Itachi Uchiha didn't hold out much hope that he, like himself, had extra memories. After all, the source of those images was unknown; if they were seen with the Mangekyou Sharingan, they should have been genjutsu...
"Oh! It's Itachi and Sasuke!"
The lady at the pancake shop saw the brothers and greeted them warmly.
After receiving their responses, the aunt said, "You two brothers are simply the future hope of our Uchiha clan! One has the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the other has awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan. You truly deserve to be the clan leader's children!"
As his younger brother politely thanked him, Itachi Uchiha suddenly remembered a problem he had never been aware of before, thanks to the old woman's words.
How did he get his kaleidoscope?
He racked his brains, but the memories of that period seemed to be blurred layer by layer, as if they didn't want him to continue exploring. He even had the vague idea that "it was probably awakened during a previous mission."
Something's not right, something's really not right...
This sense of disconnect from reality was especially strong when he met Uchiha Shisui.
“Shisui…” Itachi Uchiha uttered his name with unclear emotions.
Uchiha Shisui asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong, Itachi?"
"fine."

Perhaps due to the psychological trauma caused by Orochimaru abducting her, Tsunade actually asked to stay by her side to learn medical techniques.
"Eh? Lady Tsunade wants to take me as her disciple?" Haruko Hayama asked in surprise.
Tsunade propped herself up on her hand and looked at her with a smile, saying, "If that's what Haruko thinks, it's not impossible~"
Shizune stood to the side, holding Tun Tun, also with a hint of joy. She was right after all; Haruko would soon be her junior sister!
"Hmm... but I don't know if I can do it, since I'm good at illusions." Haruko Hayama expressed her doubts.
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, "With your talent, what are you afraid of? I'm not worried at all!"
“Alright then…” Haruko Hayama straightened her expression. “Thank you, Lady Tsunade… no, Master!”
Upon hearing her address, Tsunade's serious expression immediately softened.
Hehehe, Haruko calls me Master...
Shizune, who was standing, couldn't help but exclaim happily, "That's wonderful, Junior Sister Haruko!"
Upon hearing her words, Tsunade said to her unhappily, "Why are you calling me 'Junior Sister'? Call me 'Senior Sister'!"
"Huh?" ×2
Although Tsunade's words sounded like a joke, she was surprisingly focused and serious when she actually started teaching.
In order to concentrate on learning from Tsunade, Haruko Hayama specifically requested to participate in only low-level missions until she mastered the basics, which Naruto Uzumaki was extremely looking forward to.
"That's great! From now on, Haruko can treat me when I get injured!"
"No...you'd better not get hurt."
Haruko is genuinely worried that a certain golden retriever might deliberately get hurt in order to experience her immature healing techniques.
Seeing Tsunade's focused expression as she worked, Haruko asked curiously, "Why did you choose to become a medical ninja, Master?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade smiled slightly, her hands still moving, and said with a hint of teasing, "Because she's very afraid of pain."
"Her? Is she that important person to Master again?"
“Yes.” Tsunade finished casting the spell, straightened up and looked at her.
"The idea of healing others first came about because during a mission, she injured her arm and kept hugging me and crying out in pain. At that moment, I really wished it was me who was injured, because at least I'm not afraid of pain."
"Later, we were very careful to protect her during missions, but she would still get injured. Without us even realizing it, it turned out that she had been carefully protecting us all along."
"In order to help her heal quickly when she is injured, I decided to become a medical ninja. I am also glad that I made this choice, because at least I can heal her injuries immediately."
"However... no matter how skilled a medical expert is, they can't save a life."
Tsunade's tone gradually became melancholy, and Haruko Hayama, who was next to her, lowered her eyelashes slightly as she listened.
Noticing her low spirits, Tsunade found it somewhat amusing; Haruko Hayama was always a good listener.
"Alright, at least I can teach you all these healing techniques." Tsunade raised her hand and patted her head. "That's good enough."
Haruko looked into her watery eyes in the morning and subconsciously pursed her lips.
She desperately wanted to ask: Was that person her...?
"Lady Tsunade! Someone is looking for you!"
Silently, she pushed open the door and entered, breaking the silence inside.
Tsunade responded and went out, but Shizune did not follow. Instead, she sneaked up to Haruko's side.
"Junior sister, how's your learning going?"
Haruko smiled helplessly, "Shizune-nee, please stop teasing me."
"That won't do, Lady Tsunade told me to call you 'senior sister'!" Shizune explained seriously, then laughed at herself. "But it's really strange, Lady Tsunade's decision."
Haruko hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask Shizune for information, "Does Shizune-nee know that important person Master mentioned?"
Shizune shook her head. "Actually, I never knew such a person existed until Tsunade told me after the last trip."
Remembering how Tsunade had dragged her around crying and reminiscing for several nights in a row, Shizune's lips twitched.
“I see…” Haruko thought carefully.
"What's wrong?" Shizune asked curiously.
Haruko smiled at her. "It's nothing. I'm just very concerned. Not only Master, but also Uncle Jiraiya and that strange Orochimaru seem to have a deep connection with her."
"Of course! Actually, they were originally a special four-person team, but during the Second Shinobi World War, that person did not accompany them, which is why they became known as the Legendary Sannin."
"Does Shizune-nee know her name?" Haruko Hayama pressed.
Shizune gave her a deep look. "Her name is Haruko."
