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 available for consultation?"
The nurses in the lobby, the doctors, and the Konoha villagers who came to see the doctor all greeted the two of them.
"Look, if I didn't let you sit in the clinic, sort out cases, treatment plans, and so on, how could you be so respected? This is all due to me. You stinky brat don't understand my good intentions," Tsunade said with a heartbroken look.
*Is it not because you're lazy,* Dosuke thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud, because he had treated many patients after taking Tsunade's place.
Most of his current medical ninjutsu was learned and mastered at that time.
"This time you came back, why didn't that guy Jiraiya come over to claim credit? Did that guy go somewhere to drink again?" Walking out of the hospital, Tsunade asked when she saw the izakaya in the village.
"No, Jiraiya-sensei has other things to do; we didn't come back together," Dosuke briefly explained his mission in Takigakure.
"So Jiraiya may have gone deep behind enemy lines?" After hearing this, Tsunade immediately grasped the crux of the problem, the group of ninjas who had repeatedly ambushed and blocked Dosuke and the others.
"Yes, Tsunade-sensei, Jiraiya-sensei is still very reliable at critical moments. When facing danger, he can still face difficulties directly. I think he is a respectable ninja," Dosuke praised sincerely.
He remembered that in his previous life, watching Naruto, Jiraiya was not a genius, but with his own efforts, he became one of the three ninjas alongside Orochimaru and Tsunade.
And his disciples, whether teaching the Rain Village's Nagato, Minato, or even the future Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya had always taught with a positive, enthusiastic, and optimistic attitude, passing on the will of fire.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Who am I? I'm the Toad Sage, Jiraiya!!" At this time, in the izakaya that Tsunade was looking at just now, a man with white hair, a long ponytail, exaggerated eye shadow, dressed in a red haori, with a huge scroll behind his back, came out swaying from the entrance of the izakaya with one arm around a lightly dressed woman.
"Dosuke, is this what you call a respectable ninja who faces danger head-on?" The veins on Tsunade's forehead bulged.
"Uh, Teacher..." Dosuke was sweating and didn't know what to say.
She grabbed Dosuke's collar and quickly dragged him away. Dust flew all over the streets.
"Dosuke, if you dare to learn from this guy, I will kill you. Did you hear that?"
"I heard it, Teacher; can you let me go? Cough, cough."
"And stay away from this scumbag in the future."
Shizune, following Tsunade and the others, looked at Dosuke being dragged away, covered her small mouth with her hands, and tried her best not to laugh out loud.
On the edge of Konoha Village, inside a mansion, Tsunade walked ahead, with Dosuke and Shizune following behind her.
"Teacher, what is this place?" As Tsunade went deeper, the house was very large, but now it was overgrown with weeds. Dosuke couldn't help wondering where this was.
"This is the original residence of the Senju clan."
Tsunade led Dosuke and Shizune around the courtyard to a low bungalow.
"Come in."
*Bang.*
Tsunade forcefully pushed the rotten wooden door that showed traces of time at first glance.
The iron lock on the door collapsed and fell to the ground.
"Teacher, is this your former home?" Looking at the slightly low house in front of him, which was obviously not suitable for Tsunade's identity as a Senju princess, Dosuke asked suspiciously.
"No, this is the ancestral hall of the Senju clan," Tsunade said nonchalantly.
"I used to play in this ancestral hall a lot, but later, under the leadership of the clan's grandfather, the Senju surname was phased out, and this place gradually declined."
Following Tsunade into the dusty ancestral hall, Dosuke waved his hand to drive away the oncoming dust.
Tsunade went straight around the spirit tablet in the center of the ancestral hall, walked to the back of the altar, and searched for it.
"I found it. I haven't used it for a while. My memory is still pretty good!" Tsunade's clothes were stained with dust, and her arm was holding a thick scroll that was half a person's height.
"This is the summoning scroll of the slug that signed a contract with the Senju clan. Dosuke, if you want to learn summoning arts, you can sign the contract," Tsunade said seriously.
"I want to remind you that the Shikkotsu Forest, along with Mount Myoboku and the Ryuchi Cave, are listed as the three major sacred places in the ninja world, but the combat ability of the slug is not the most outstanding. You should think carefully. Are you willing to sign a contract with the slug? A summoning contract?" Choosing a summoned beast and signing a contract with it is an extremely serious matter.
This not only represents the choice of ninjas, but also the choice of summoned beasts.
"Teacher, I am willing."
After hearing the promise from the two, Tsunade nodded.
"There should still be a place," Tsunade muttered to herself.
After speaking, she didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and just pulled the scroll open on the ground.
As the scroll continued to unroll, the names of the Senju clan emerged on the scroll.
"Here, Dosuke, Shizune, you two come here and write your names here, and make a fingerprint," Tsunade said, pointing to the two blank positions on the scroll.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Dosuke and Shizune walked to the scroll.
Biting his finger, blood flowed continuously. Dosuke quickly wrote his name on the scroll and pressed his fingerprint.
Behind him, Shizune wrote down her name and pressed her fingerprints.
After watching the two write their names.
Tsunade put away the scroll, flicked it with one hand, and threw it behind the altar.
Then she took the two of them out and closed the door of the ancestral hall, ignoring it.
*Clap, clap.*
Tsunade clapped her hands and looked at Dosuke and Shizune as they both turned their heads: "Dosuke, Shizune. I'll take you to meet Katsuyu; you two hold on to me."
Dosuke and Shizune obediently stood on Tsunade's left and right, grabbing her clothes.
Seeing the two people holding her tightly, Tsunade quickly formed seals. After finishing, Tsunade slammed the ground, "Ninjutsu, Reverse Summoning Technique."
*Bang*
A puff of smoke dissipated, and the three of Dosuke had disappeared in place.
At the same time, three figures suddenly appeared in the Shikkotsu Forest, one of the three great sacred places in the ninja world.
