"Not yet! Eh...No, I don't like Gen! He's just walking me back." With a blushing face, Shizune quickly explained.
"So you're not dating yet. Seeing that you're very nervous, I don't blame you. If you like him, don't hold back and pursue him. I like the boy." Tsunade knowing that she was lying, raised her eyebrows and said boldly.
"Oh really?" Shizune asked, eyes shining.
"Hahaha, how naive you are Shizune. So you really like her?" Tsunade lowered her head, standing at Shizune's height, narrowing her eyes and with a playful smile, she asked.
"Eeeeeeh! STOP TALKING!" Knowing that she had fallen into the trap, Shizune stomped her foot on the ground out of shyness and anger, running through the door of the house.
Watching her run away through the door, Tsunade's eyes narrowed more, with smiles of amusement, and then she looked away from her in the direction where Gen had left.
"Uchiha... Gen?" She murmured, having a thoughtful expression.

Konoha holds the Chūnin exam every six months, being one of the largest nations. For the third test of the Chūnin exams, a huge stadium was built, consisting of a circular wall that contains the battlefield and three stalls.
....
(Konoha - Chūnin Exam Arena)
The next day.
At the place where he performs the Third Test of the Chūnin Exams, Gen was brought here because Orochimaru told him to come here for the test.
"Gen-Kun, let me introduce you first. This is my subordinate, Ono Yohito, who is also a Tokubetsu Jonin of the village. The test is simple, you simply have to defeat him, easy right?"
Going to the center of the field, where Orochimaru was standing not long ago, with him was a young man with a ponytail.
After bowing slightly to Orochimaru, who responded with a smile and went on to briefly introduce the young man around him.
Upon hearing what Orochimaru said, Gen's eyes flashed with surprise and moved around inspecting the young man next to Orochimaru.
In yesterday's incident, although Orochimaru explained what the test would be like, he did not expect him to directly send a Tokubetsu Jonin to have him as a rival.
A Tokubetsu Jonin is arguably better than a Chunin and is just one step away from being a Jōnin.
Although Gen won first place in the Graduation exam with great ease, the level of strength shown in the exam only reaches Chūnin.
But now that Orochimaru sent someone 'superior' than him, he had to think about what to do next.
"Orochimaru-sama, you really gave me a big problem. I'm just a Genin who just graduated. I'm really not sure I can keep up with you."
Gen showed an anguished expression or what was in his mind was only for a moment, and on the surface, Uchiha Genzuki showed anguish.
Seeing Gen's mood, Orochimaru said with a smile, "Don't underestimate yourself, I have high expectations, Gen, so I believe you won't disappoint me."
".....Okay, then preparence!" Sighing, Gen nodded helplessly.
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Orochimaru wasted no time. After explaining the rules to them, he disappeared from his place with the Body Flicker technique, appearing in the spectators' stalls and sat down.
"Please give your best!"
After Orochimaru's disappearance, only Gen and Ono remained on the field. Ono was the first to react, leaving a few words, before distancing himself and opening a distance of about five to seven meters. Once he was done he made the Combat Seal.
"His Excellency should also give his best!"
Seeing this, Gen no longer hesitated and after a slight nod, he also formed the Combat Seal in front of him.
Once completed, Orochimaru officially declared the start of the match.
*Swoosh!*
Once under his hands, Ono's eyes suddenly became ferocious. Without hesitation, she took off like an arrow, arriving in front of Gen in less than a second.
At the moment of departure, Ono imperceptibly took a Kunai out of his Ninja Bag. So when he was face to face with Gen, he tightly gripped the Kunai in his hand and made a lightning-fast cut.
Although the offensive presented by Ono is simple, but after all he is a Tokubetsu Jonin, someone with very different abilities and aspects from those Gen has seen.
Whether due to the speed of the slash or the priceless way he draws his weapon, they are all very fast for the common Chunin reaction.
Gen also seemed to be a little caught off guard. Faced with the looming cut, he had no time to think and was immediately cut in the throat.
It was not known if Ono's attacks were like this or if Orochimaru had given him specific orders where to attack. From the beginning he never had the intention of holding back, wanting to end this quickly.
*Srack!*
Producing a tearing sound, but not from meat, but from something solid like wood.
*PUFF!*
The Kunai clearly tore through his throat, but instead of spraying blood, Gen turned into smoke and swapped places with a log.
*Ziuu, Ziuu, Ziuu!*
One after another, shurikens shot out from not far away in an instant, causing Ono's face to show an annoyed grimace and he quickly retreated.
The approaching shuriken not only carries a high velocity, similar to a bullet, but also the kinetic energy it possesses. In that moment of retreat, several shuriken passed through his body, leaving holes throughout her body.
*PUFF!*
Like Gen before, Ono also instantly turned into a log after being pierced by a shuriken.
Seven or eight meters away, Ono appeared, who avoided the attack with the Jutsu: Body Replacement (Kawarimi no Jutsu), and at the moment of his appearance a small figure appeared behind him at a surprising speed.
