Then she gently nudged Uchiha Gen's back and motioned, "Gen! Didn't you say you admire Lady Tsunade the most and want to consult her about medical knowledge? Hurry up and greet her!"
"Lady Tsunade!"
And then she started to pretend to be busy in all earnestness.
And Gen managed to slip away. At the same time, he saw the person who had arrived.
The next moment, the expressions of a group of young ladies all changed. They quickly scurried off and returned to their respective posts.
Seeing this, Uchiha Meixin quickly stepped forward, grabbed Gen, and introduced him to Tsunade.
At this time, Tsunade also saw Gen standing over there, his clothes a bit messy.
Just like everyone else, she was drawn to Gen's delicate and cute face and couldn't help but exclaim, "What an adorable little one! Whose kid are you?"
Gen bowed slightly to Tsunade, neither overbearing nor humble, and greeted her.
Then, Tsunade crouched down, ruffled Gen's head, turning his hair into a mess, and looked at Gen with a slight sparkle in her eyes.
"Answer Lady Tsunade! This is my youngest son, Uchiha Gen. You saw him when he was still in my womb."
"Oh?"
Only then did Tsunade stand up, looking a bit surprised and enlightened. She couldn't resist pinching Gen's cheek again, ignoring Gen's speechless expression, sized him up, and said, "So you're the new prodigy of the Uchiha clan?"
"I heard that you could walk at three months old, talk fluently at six months old, and read and study on your own at one year old?"
Saying that, she stepped forward briskly, reached out directly, and pinched Gen's cheek while Gen looked speechless.
"I heard that you're the medical master of Konoha and even the whole ninja world, the most powerful medical ninja. I just wonder how much real ability you have!"
"I've taught myself Mystical Palm Technique and medical knowledge since I was a kid. I've read all the books on this within the Uchiha clan. I think my medical skills are not bad. Do you dare to have a discussion with me to see your true abilities?"
Isn't it just the method of goading someone into action?
It seems like everyone can use it.
Moreover, it's extremely difficult for him to take Tsunade as his master, learn medical knowledge from her, and even obtain many secret ninjutsu and the secrets of the Senju clan from her.
After all, he's from the Uchiha clan. It's naturally extremely difficult.
If he doesn't come up with some ways to stir up Tsunade, it might not work.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Tsunade folded her arms, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the confident and flamboyant kid in front of her, and seeing his provocative expression, she couldn't help but find it funny.
Immediately, she pretended to be serious and said, "You're quite gutsy, kid! Then let me test your skills!"
Saying that, she jerked her chin at Uchiha Meixin and said, "Bring him to my office!"
Then she turned around and led the way. Uchiha Meixin quickly took Gen and followed closely.
On the way, Uchiha Meixin couldn't help but whisper and scold Gen, "You brat, didn't you want to come and take Lady Tsunade as your master? Why did you deliberately rile up Lady Tsunade?"
"Relax!"
Gen waved his hand nonchalantly after hearing this. "I know what I'm doing, Mom. Don't worry!"
It left Uchiha Meixin completely speechless. You really have some nerve! You actually want to compete with Lady Tsunade.
She thought maybe bringing Uchiha Gen to see Tsunade was a mistake.
Her own kid was truly a prodigy, but when it came to medical skills, she still didn't think Uchiha Gen could hold a candle to Tsunade.
"Well... it might be a different story when it comes to just medicinal baths!"
Thinking of the medicinal bath formulas Uchiha Gen had come up with, Uchiha Meixin couldn't help but think this to herself.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Tsunade's office.
Tsunade took her seat, then pointed at the sofa beside her and said to Uchiha Meixin and Uchiha Gen, "Take a seat!"
After Uchiha Gen and the others were seated, she looked at Uchiha Meixin and asked, "From what you said earlier, Uchiha Meixin, you want this kid to become my disciple and learn Mystical Palm Technique from me?"
"Yes! Lady Tsunade!"
Uchiha Meixin quickly got to her feet, nodded, and bowed slightly. She said, "This kid has some talent in medicine. I can't teach him much on my own. He's basically been teaching himself and has already read and basically mastered all the medical books within the clan."
"He still wants to learn more medical knowledge, and the only person that comes to my mind is you, Lady Tsunade!"
"Please give him a chance. I beg you!"
As she spoke, Uchiha Meixin bowed slightly to Tsunade again and pleaded.
Seeing this, Uchiha Gen, touched as he was, also stood up obediently and bowed slightly to Tsunade, saying, "Please!"
"Oh? You're quite polite at this moment. You have quite a lot of thoughts in that little head of yours!"
Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly, a bit surprised by Uchiha Gen's performance.
Right away, she waved her hand and said, "Alright, give this little fella a chance. However, I probably won't take in disciples. I lost interest in that a long time ago. If it weren't for some reasons, I was even about to leave Konoha!"
"Let me first see what this kid's got!"
"If he can meet my expectations, I'll let him learn from me for a while and can also make some of the books in the Ninja Hospital available to him."
Konoha was a place full of sad memories for her.
She had devoted most of her life to Konoha, but what did she get in return?
The Senju clan disappeared.
Her Mother and Father were gone.
Even her grandmother had passed away.
Most importantly, her own younger brother died an unexplained death. She had a general idea of how many schemes were behind it.
"Even Dan... never mind!"
"Kid, let me ask you..."
Next, the assessment started. Tsunade began asking Uchiha Gen some basic medical knowledge questions.
When she found that Uchiha Gen could answer all these questions smoothly, talking eloquently and even able to express his own understandings.
And these understandings were pretty deep.
She immediately became really interested and started quizzing Uchiha Gen with some more esoteric medical questions, herb combinations, properties of medicinal herbs, and so on.
The questions got more and more in-depth, but Uchiha Gen was able to handle them all and offer his own profound insights.
Occasionally, when he couldn't answer a question, Uchiha Gen would straightforwardly say that what he had read and learned so far didn't cover these areas, but then he would make inferences and draw conclusions about these questions based on the medical and herb knowledge he had at the moment.
The inferences were extremely accurate or reasonable, making Tsunade's eyes sparkle.

Tsunade couldn't help but think to herself.
Knowing full well that Tsunade was just joking and teasing him, Uchiha Gen still felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He retorted without showing any weakness, "If you want to know if I'm bluffing, why don't you give it a try?"
"Really?"
"You're not just bluffing, are you?"
"Ah!"
She never expected that the child, already special even in the womb and whose vitality was so strong that he didn't seem like an Uchiha but rather like a Senju at birth, had actually grown so tall.
He doesn't look like a three - year - old child at all!
"Is it because of his vitality? Or something else?"
That "stern" look combined with that delicate face made Uchiha Gen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "So... cough cough! Beautiful!"
"Hmm?"
