Chapter 92: Teacher, I'll Give You a Massage
The Ninja Academy.
It was registration day, so the atmosphere was especially lively. Aside from the students, there were also parents accompanying them.
Hanekawa's gaze suddenly sharpened. He spotted two familiar figures: the father and daughter he had met at the hospital before, Uzuki Yūgao and her father.
"Kurenai, you head to the classroom first. I'm going to say hello to one of my former patients."
Hanekawa reached out and patted Yūhi Kurenai's head.
"Okay," Kurenai nodded slightly, letting go of his hand and heading toward the classroom.
Hanekawa withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the first-year A class classroom not far away. The new students were clearly more punctual than the older ones, and a considerable crowd was already lining up to register.
His arrival drew attention. After all, a good-looking face was bound to attract more stares, no matter where you went.
"Big Brother!"
Yūgao saw him, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She immediately abandoned her place in line and ran over to him.
"Call me Brother Hanekawa," Hanekawa couldn't help but correct her.
"Brother Hanekawa," Yūgao said obediently, though a little confused by the change.
Just as Hanekawa was about to speak, he was suddenly surrounded by the nearby first-year students.
"Hanekawa?"
"Are you Hanekawa?"
"The top student at the Ninja Academy?"
Their small faces were filled with curiosity and scrutiny, along with undisguised admiration. Since enrolling, Hanekawa had consistently been the top student, and coupled with his rising reputation at the Konoha Hospital, his fame had only grown.
Of course, another reason was that he was a student of one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade.
"Wow, he's amazing!"
Yūgao watched as the scene suddenly turned into a fan meet-and-greet and couldn't help but gape.
"I am Hanekawa," he replied with a slight nod. He hadn't realized he was so popular at school.
"Hanekawa-senpai!"
"Brother Hanekawa!"
"Oh, he's so handsome!"
A chaotic mix of greetings rang out.
"Everyone, let's introduce ourselves," Hanekawa blinked, a bit overwhelmed, and decided to take on the role of a teacher.
After listening to them all, he was surprised to find several familiar names, or rather, supporting characters, including the future Leaf Village Gatekeepers, Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, the body-flickering Hayate Gekkō, and Iruka Umino, who would deeply influence Naruto Uzumaki. There was also Anko Mitarashi, who hadn't yet become her future 'sweet potato' self.
Although this class wasn't as exceptional as his own, it was still of extremely high quality. After all, having one or two jōnin in a single class was considered quite good.
Not far away, the first-year A class homeroom teacher watched in stunned silence. He was trying to handle the registration procedures for his students, but Hanekawa had completely hijacked them, leaving him all alone. But this was Tsunade's student and a medical ninja. He didn't dare to get angry.
"I'm going to register now. We'll talk again later."
Hanekawa finally escaped the enthusiastic new students and returned to his classroom. He had only intended to say a quick hello to Yūgao, but it had turned into a meet-and-greet.
As soon as Hanekawa sat down, Rin Nohara walked over to him.
"Hanekawa, good morning."
Rin smiled gently, though her expression was a little hesitant.
"Rin, what's up?" Hanekawa asked with a smile.
"It's...about that...that medical ninjutsu." Rin said, a bit embarrassed. "I don't know what to do next." Over the past two years, she had been studying medical books and had mastered the basics. But as a commoner, she couldn't find a way to make further progress since she hadn't graduated and didn't have a teacher.
"Oh, that." Hanekawa stroked his chin. "You can try improving your chakra control."
"How do I do that?" Rin's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked.
"How about this?" Hanekawa said nonchalantly. "You can join our training after school. I'll teach you then." With Asuma Sarutobi, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake already in their training group, adding one more person like Rin Nohara was no big deal.
"Thank you!" Rin was stunned for a moment, then said with immense gratitude. She had only meant to ask for some guidance, but she never expected Hanekawa to be so generous.
"It's nothing," Hanekawa chuckled. "We're friends, after all."
Rin's heart warmed at his words. She looked at the handsome Hanekawa, her cheeks flushed, and thought to herself that he was truly a good person.
Hanekawa, unaware that he had just earned a 'good guy' card, was now just hoping that Tsunade wouldn't be late. As expected, the Hokage's speech at the opening ceremony began. Hiruzen Sarutobi stood on the stage and once again expounded on his Will of Fire. Hanekawa yawned. After four consecutive years of listening, he had realized a problem. Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire was still the same old story, with no significant changes over the four years. Hanekawa couldn't help but shake his head. He hadn't kept up with the times.
Just then, a commotion broke out. Hanekawa instinctively turned his head and saw Tsunade standing not far away. Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and ran.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched. That brat! He had been running for three years in a row! If Hanekawa didn't get a perfect score on his Will of Fire essay every year, Hiruzen might have started to question his loyalty.
"Are we going to the casino today?" Hanekawa asked, following Tsunade. He believed in returning favors.
"No," Tsunade shook her head.
"Huh?" Hanekawa looked surprised. "Who are you? You're not my teacher at all!"
"You brat!" Tsunade's face was flushed with anger. She raised her hand and gave him a hard tap on the head.
"Looks like it's really you then," Hanekawa said, taking a breath. "Then why aren't you going to the casino?"
"We're going to the Konoha Hospital today," Tsunade grunted, patting his head. "You've learned most of what you need to know about medical ninjutsu, but you're missing one thing."
"What is it?" Hanekawa asked, curious.
"As a medical ninja, you not only have to cure poison but also learn how to create it," Tsunade said gravely. "While I don't recommend you use poison, in a life-or-death situation, you can't afford to be so considerate."
Hanekawa raised an eyebrow. He knew Tsunade had never used poison in the original story. Did that mean she didn't know how? He doubted it. Her ability to cure Chiyo's poison meant her skill level was not bad; she simply chose not to use it. But just because she didn't use it didn't mean Hanekawa wouldn't. In fact, using poison was very common for a ninja. Senbon, for example, were often poisoned to increase their lethality.
The two arrived at the Konoha Hospital.
"The reason we're not going to the casino is that there's a patient who urgently needs surgery," Tsunade said, leading Hanekawa directly to the operating room. "He was poisoned by a Sand Village puppeteer."
"Lady Tsunade," Yakushi Nonō greeted her.
"Let's begin the surgery," Tsunade said with her usual no-nonsense demeanor.
Nonō quickly handed her a pair of gloves. The others also took their positions, getting ready.
Hanekawa looked at the patient on the operating table. He was an ANBU member. Nearby were his removed uniform and mask. Furthermore, with the exception of Hanekawa, all of the medical ninjas participating in the surgery were jōnin. This was to conceal the ANBU member's identity. The fewer people who knew, the better.
"Hanekawa," Tsunade instructed, "use the Mystical Extraction Technique to draw out the poison and put it in this test tube."
"Yes," Hanekawa stepped forward and made the hand signs.
Two hours later, the surgery was complete.
"Hanekawa, come with me," Tsunade bid Nonō farewell and left the operating room. Hanekawa quickly followed. A moment later, they arrived at a room that resembled a laboratory, filled with various pieces of equipment.
"Whether you're curing poison or creating it, you first have to understand its composition," Tsunade stopped and said. "Take out the tube of poison you just extracted."
Hanekawa immediately understood what she was about to do. He couldn't help but find it strange. Aren't we ninjas? Why does this feel so scientific?
The day ended quickly. Hanekawa had gained a lot, as he had triggered a new trait.
B−Rank Trait:PoisonMaster (Unacquired).
Trigger Condition: Master theart of creating poison.
Current Progress:0
Hanekawa's mind was churning. The fact that it was a B-rank trait from the start meant the difficulty was high. Additionally, it might be a trait that couldn't be leveled up or synthesized. His starter gift when he got the trait system, the A-rank 'Lurker' trait, was like that.
"Ah!" Tsunade sighed and collapsed onto the sofa. The immense force of her fall caused her clothes to stretch and deform, revealing their surprising elasticity.
Hanekawa snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Tsunade. Since she was lying on her stomach, he could only see her back, and especially her ample backside.
"Teacher, you didn't take off your shoes," he said, looking at her feet.
"I taught you all day. Shouldn't you show your appreciation?" Tsunade turned over, raised her legs, and wiggled her ten toes through her high-heeled sandals. The message was clear.
"Alright," Hanekawa stepped forward and took off her sandals. A pair of fair, jade-like feet were revealed. He looked at the tired Tsunade and asked, "Teacher, do you want me to give you a massage?"
Tsunade closed her eyes, not refusing.
Hanekawa sat on the sofa, raised her legs, and placed them on his lap. He reached out with both hands, took hold of her left foot, and gently massaged the sole of her foot.
"That tickles a little," Tsunade's body trembled slightly, and her smooth toes instinctively curled up.
Hearing this, Hanekawa eased his grip on her foot. Once she adapted, he continued. A moment later, he heard a steady rhythm of breathing. He glanced over and realized Tsunade had fallen asleep. Her clothes rose and fell with her breaths.
After a moment's consideration, Hanekawa didn't stop. He moved his hands up, gently massaging her calves. It was a shame her thighs were too far away. Hanekawa had long wanted to feel...oh no, to massage them. He imagined they would feel quite plush.
"Go make some food," Tsunade said, yawning half an hour later.
"Okay," Hanekawa let go of her legs, stood up, and headed to the kitchen.
