"Ding! Patient detected. Please treat as soon as possible."
Just as Tsunade was introducing Nawaki, the system's prompt sounded.
And the target was Senju Nawaki, right in front of him.
Nawaki's talent was a bit awkward, neither good nor bad.
Moreover, as the Second Shinobi World War continued to escalate, most of Konoha's Chunin would be deployed to participate in the war.
Senju Nawaki, in front of him, would die in the Second Shinobi World War not long after becoming a Chunin.
Kato Dan also seemed to have died in this war.
Losing two loved ones in a short period, Tsunade developed hemophobia.
Coupled with her disappointment in Konoha's higher-ups, she ultimately chose to leave Konoha.
"My sister's disciple, huh?"
"Then, does that make him my junior?"
"Ahem... From now on, I've got your back!"
Nawaki immediately puffed out his chest, a strange expression on his twelve-year-old face.
"Nawaki, you're sick!"
Before Nawaki could revel in his pride, Roy's words came.
"Huh!?"
"You... you're the one who's sick!"
"My sister is the strongest Medical Ninja; if I were sick, how could she not know?"
Nawaki was momentarily flustered.
But because he had been well-protected by Tsunade since childhood, he could only utter such harsh words for a moment.
If it were a second-generation like Asuma, he would probably have already started a fight.
"Roy, were you not joking just now?"
Tsunade looked at Roy seriously.
From their brief interaction, Tsunade didn't believe Roy was someone who would talk nonsense or be reckless.
"Nawaki is sick, and quite seriously so."
"I still need to examine him carefully to confirm."
Roy nodded, looking at Nawaki.
The system indicated a patient; if it were an external injury, it would be easy to spot immediately.
But Nawaki clearly didn't have an external injury.
"Let me see."
Tsunade didn't hesitate, choosing to trust Roy.
"Sis..."
"Roy is a Medical Ninja, listen to him!"
Before Nawaki could retort, Tsunade interrupted him.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Nawaki could only nod in agreement.
"Ambidextrous Hands!"
Roy placed his hand on Nawaki's body, and a red light glowed.
"What is this?"
Tsunade looked at the Ambidextrous Hands Roy released, a strange expression on her face.
She had never seen this Medical Ninjutsu before.
And she felt a sense of profound mystery within it.
"Found it!"
Soon, Ambidextrous Hands found the cause of the illness.
Nawaki's meridians were poisoned, and they had begun to stiffen... He was poisoned!
"Teacher, Nawaki is poisoned."
"It should be a chronic toxin that has already invaded his meridians."
"If not carefully examined, it would be undetectable."
Roy spoke of what he had discovered.
He could treat him, but that would expose his unique abilities.
"Meridians?"
Tsunade rushed to Nawaki's side immediately, grabbing his hand.
She released Chakra and began to examine him.
"Bang!"
A few minutes later, Tsunade slumped to the ground.
Her face revealed a look of despair.
Chronic poison, stiffening meridians...
This meant that Nawaki would not only be unable to improve further but would even die because of this problem!
Most importantly, with his meridians stiffening, even Tsunade was helpless.
Of the direct lineage of the Senju Clan, only the two of them remained.
The others had either assimilated into the Village or died on the battlefield.
Now, her only younger brother was also severely poisoned.
She, the strongest Medical Ninja in the Ninja World, was also at a loss.
Did it really have to...
"Teacher, I can treat him."
"However... the consumption required is quite significant, and I need to make some preparations."
"Also, I need to treat more patients and accumulate my experience to be fully confident."
Roy said, helping Tsunade up.
"You can treat him?"
"Roy, I hope you're not using my brother's situation to..."
"I can!"
Roy gave a definite look.
"I have three days before I must return to the front line."
"As for the patients, I will arrange them for you."
Tsunade, indeed one of the Legendary Sannin and the strongest Medical Ninja, made an accurate judgment immediately.
"Three days is enough."
"Teacher, I request to start now!"
Roy said excitedly.
Are you kidding? With Tsunade's assistance, as long as his Chakra was sufficient, he would have enough patients.
These were all excellent experience packs!
Moreover, with Tsunade's identity as a cover, even if he showed a unique aspect, he would receive protection.
"I understand."
"Nawaki, you go back first. I'm taking Roy to the Hospital."
Tsunade said, turning and walking out of the courtyard.
"Brother Nawaki, you... are temporarily not very suitable to be a Ninja."
"The battlefield isn't as passionate as you imagine."
"If possible, stay in the Village until the war ends and take care of your body."
Roy finished with a smile and followed Tsunade's footsteps.
At the same time, inside the Hokage Office.
"Taken in by Tsunade as a disciple?"
"Not bad, this child is someone worth cultivating."
"Don't worry."
"She... still doesn't want to come over?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were a little dim.
"Lady Tsunade will understand your good intentions."
"In three days, I will go to the battlefield with her. Once the mission to assassinate the Kazekage is completed, the war should also be over."
Standing in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi was Sakumo Hatake, who had returned to recuperate from his injuries a while ago.
His body had mostly recovered, and he was preparing to return to the battlefield.
Earlier, he had desperately killed Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law, and was pursued by Chiyo and her brother Ebizō.
"Sakumo, this time, the command will be given to Orochimaru."
"You will primarily be responsible for the mission to assassinate the Kazekage."
"As for the personnel..."
"Shinnosuke!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi beckoned, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sarutobi Rie walked over.
"I understand."
"Then, Hokage-sama, let's depart tomorrow."
"If we're not on the front lines, there's no need to inform Lady Tsunade."
"You two, please be prepared; we'll gather at the Village entrance tomorrow."
Sakumo Hatake had no objections and directly excused himself after speaking.
"Father, why do you want us to participate in the assassination of the Kazekage?"
"That mission..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was a little displeased.
His intention was to go to the front lines to gain experience, and with Sarutobi Clan Ninja accompanying them, safety could still be guaranteed.
Now, it had turned into assassinating the Kazekage.
"Sakumo's strength is very great; you just need to follow his instructions and assist him."
"As for the glory of the mission, you will also be a part of it."
"You may leave."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said weakly.
Although Sarutobi Shinnosuke still wanted to say something, he was pulled away by his wife.
After the two left, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the documents in his hand.
"Indeed, it's still not enough?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little disappointed.
He had been in office for a considerable time and needed to choose the next Hokage.
But now, his son... alas...
