Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 - 69: The Suffering of the Young Ino-Shika-Chō Trio

Training Ground No. 10.

Shikamaru, Ino, and Chōji rushed back together, only to find Kamizuki Hikari lying under the shade of a tree, enjoying the breeze. Ino immediately exploded.

"Hikari-senpai, you're our instructor! We're over here suffering, and you're just lounging around? That's way out of line!"

"Hmm~"

Kamizuki Hikari responded with a lazy yawn.

"Did you bring back the yakiniku I asked for?"

Ino nearly lost it. So all her complaints just now had been completely ignored?

Shikamaru stepped forward, blocking Ino, and took the bento box from Chōji, walking over to Hikari.

"Hikari-senpai, this is the yakiniku we bought with our mission funds!" Shikamaru deliberately emphasized the last two words.

Normally, after a mission, the instructor would keep half the earnings, while the other half would be split among the genin team. Based on Shikamaru's calculations, as long as Hikari had even a shred of decency, he wouldn't eat alone.

But today, Hikari was here to teach him a lesson.

"Nice!"

Sniffing the delicious aroma, Hikari opened the box and began devouring the yakiniku at lightning speed.

"Senpai?!" Shikamaru was dumbfounded.

"Hikari-senpai!" Chōji's mouth watered as the scent of the meat filled the air.

Ino was grinding her teeth in rage. From the look on her face, it seemed like she wanted to go bite Hikari to death.

This senpai was seriously too much.

Rubbing their still-empty stomachs, the trio could only sigh in resignation.

How did they end up with such a ridiculous teacher? If they'd known earlier, they never would've come.

Hikari paid them no mind, happily finishing the yakiniku before smacking his lips. "A bit too little. Not satisfying enough!"

Chōzi finally exploded. "Senpai! We bought this with our mission earnings! And I even got the shop owner to give us a 40% discount! Most importantly—we haven't eaten yet!"

"Oh." Hikari replied absentmindedly, clearly uninterested.

"And?"

"And..." Chōji was at a loss for words.

What could he even say to such an outrageous instructor?

'I'm telling Dad to ask the Hokage to fire you!'

For even Chōji to get this angry, Hikari had truly crossed a line.

"What? Judging by your looks, you're all upset. You think I went too far, huh?" Hikari picked his teeth with a toothpick, looking nothing like a proper shinobi.

The Ino-Shika-Chō trio stared at him in silence.

"What, trying to beat me with your glares now?" Hikari shook his head. "Don't blame me for looking down on you. With your current strength, you're only good for bullying Konoha's civilian genins. In front of me you're all just little brats!"

His expression was cocky to the max—absolutely begging for a punch.

"Senpai!" Ino boldly stepped forward, standing up to him.

"Go on." Hikari looked at her with high expectations, sincerely hoping she'd blow up, then go crying home and ask Yamanaka Inoichi to get him dismissed.

Just imagining all the free time he'd have afterward made him feel rejuvenated.

Ino took a deep breath, her face serious. "Senpai, I'm a girl!"

Hikari: '...What the hell kind of argument is that?!'

"And?"
