The sound of footsteps grew closer to the door.
"Could Tsunade-sensei come and open the door for me in person?"
*Creak*, the door opened from the inside with a sound.
"Shizune? Why are you here?" Dosuke looked at the slender girl in front of him with a little surprise.
Since that graduation dinner, he hadn't seen Shizune for a while due to missions and other reasons.
"Well, I'm currently learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade-sama, and I usually assist Tsunade-sama," Shizune said.
He walked into the room and asked, "Shizune, where's Tsunade-sensei? She couldn't be lazy again and didn't come!"
"When did an extra private room appear here? Is this Tsunade-sensei's own room?" Seeing that Tsunade's presence wasn't felt in the office, Dosuke went straight to the private room in the house.
"Dosuke, Dosuke, wait..." Shizune watched Dosuke reach out to open the door of the private room and hurriedly tried to stop him.
Pushing open the door, only a flash of white snow flashed by.
Immediately afterward, Dosuke felt a blur in front of his eyes and a sore nose. The Water Barrier didn't have time to defend, and his whole body flew back at a faster speed.
*Boom.*
Dosuke was pressed against the corner of the wall, his head hanging on his chest, and his hands drooping weakly beside him.
"Dosuke, Dosuke, are you okay?" Shizune threw down the rag, walked quickly to Dosuke, squatted down next to him, and supported him.
Dosuke now only felt stars popping out of his eyes.
His numb face didn't feel the two lines of blood flowing from his nasal cavity.
Shizune hurriedly pulled a few paper towels from the desk and wiped them gently.
*Boom.*
Tsunade, in a bright blue coat with a dark pleated skirt hanging down to her ankles, stepped out of the office private room on a pair of pink slippers.
Looking at Shizune stopping Dosuke's bleeding.
"Shizune, don't worry about that kid; I still know the strength of my punch."
"Hey, brat, wake up quickly, or I'll be rude to you."
Dosuke shook his head vigorously, almost shaking off the tissue Shizune had stuffed in his nostrils just now.
He raised his head and slowly looked at Tsunade standing not far away.
"Teacher, I just came back; you don't have to welcome me like that!!!"
"Dosuke, why did you go out with that guy Jiraiya and become like this? You even learned how to tease Shizune and dared to barge into a girl's room."
"I really don't know if that guy Jiraiya took you to practice."
"If you really become like that old pervert Jiraiya, then I have no choice but to clean up the house," Tsunade said, frowning slightly, staring at him with displeasure. Her white hands were tightly clenched into fists.
From the looks of it, if Tsunade wasn't satisfied with Dosuke's answer, it would be another punch.
After sitting on the ground for a while, Dosuke felt that he had come back to life. Although his face was still numb, he didn't dare to treat it with the Mystical Palm Technique.
"Teacher, this is a misunderstanding; you have to believe me. I'm definitely a good student," Dosuke explained tremblingly.
"I swear it's true; it was just a misunderstanding just now. I just wanted to check if Tsunade-sensei was there."
Looking at Dosuke, who was sitting on the ground with his face swollen from her punch and his pronunciation unclear, Tsunade burst out laughing.
"Okay, kid, I forgive you this time. You are not allowed to learn from that guy Jiraiya, do you hear me clearly!" The green light of the Mystical Palm Technique glowed in both hands.
"This is a small injury; heal it yourself. Just to see if your healing ninjutsu has declined."
"Yes, Teacher."
Green light glowed on both hands, and after a while, the swollen face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. It returned to normal after a while.
"Your mission just ended; why did you arrive at the hospital today?" Tsunade walked to the desk, sat on the chair, picked up the tea Shizune had made for her in advance, and took a sip.
Tsunade glanced at the backpack on the table and said, "Are you here to give me a gift?"
After the treatment, Dosuke stood up with Shizune's support.
After thanking Shizune, he walked to the desk and opened the backpack on the table.
"Teacher, this is an item called Hero Water obtained during this mission. It can temporarily increase the chakra of the human body, but it should not be drunk too much." After finishing speaking, Dosuke handed the gourd bottle he took out to Tsunade.
Tsunade took the bottle and poured a little into the palm of her hand, but she didn't feel anything.
Tsunade looked at Dosuke suspiciously.
"Teacher, contact with this Hero Water cannot increase chakra, but if it is drunk into the human body, it will have an effect."
After hearing Dosuke's words, Tsunade leaned closer to the palm of her hand in doubt, tasted it lightly, feeling that the chakra in her body had increased in an instant.
But not for long.
"It is true that this thing can improve chakra; what are you trying to do with this?"
"Teacher, I want to mix a chakra-increasing potion with Hero Water. I hope you can help me when the time comes," Dosuke said seriously.
Tsunade nodded, "This can be no problem. If the research is really successful, it will be a good thing for the village."
"One more thing, Teacher: I want to learn the Summoning Technique." In the past, what Tsunade taught, Dosuke learned; this was the first time he asked Tsunade to learn some ninjutsu.
"Okay." Tsunade agreed without even thinking about it.
"Dosuke, come with me; Shizune, you can come too." Tsunade got up and walked to the door, greeting Dosuke and not forgetting to call Shizune.
"Shizune, did sensei just want you to help her clean up?" Dosuke turned his head and whispered to Shizune in the corridor.
*Boom.*
"Brat, Shizune did it voluntarily to clean up the house. Do you think that every disciple is like you? Never helping the teacher clean up?" Tsunade punched Dosuke on the head.
"I'm sorry, sensei; I didn't help you tidy up the house and clean up, but I helped you sort out the hospital's cases and treatment plans," Dosuke muttered in a low voice, loud enough for Tsunade to hear.
Tsunade's face froze, "What do you know; I'm doing all this to train you."
Several people went downstairs and walked into the lobby of Konoha Hospital.
"Tsunade-sama, Dosuke, you are back!"
"Dosuke! Tsunade-sama..."
"Dr. Dosuke, when will you be sitting in consultation?"
The nurses in the lobby, the doctors, and the Konoha villagers who came to see the doctor all greeted the two of them.
"This time you came back, why didn't that guy Jiraiya come over to claim credit? Did that guy go to another place to drink?"
