Chapter 246 - Chapter 166: Tsunade's Favorability Rises

"Hey kid, haven't you held on long enough?"

Tsunade said with a forced smile, realizing she had unknowingly let Uchiha Yoichi hold on for so long; indeed, she could never let her guard down around this shy little ghost.

"Hmm... Your body doesn't tremble anymore, and your speech is more assertive. It seems the blood phobia is temporarily suppressed."

It was only then that Uchiha Yoichi let go of Tsunade's hand and nodded, saying to her, "Warmth can indeed dispel blood phobia. You can come to me anytime it flares up."

"You..."

"Lady Tsunade, let's handle the important matters first."

When Tsunade raised her fist, Uchiha Yoichi brought up the significant tasks, which immediately deflated Tsunade's anger.

She was here for business but ended up being led by this kid; it was a frustrating feeling.

"Fine, I'll start the treatment. I'll borrow your tent; prepare an open space outside the camp for my Summoning Jutsu."

Tsunade snorted, then blindfolded her eyes and had Shizune apply some blood to her hand, proceeding to the tent entrance to perform the Summoning Jutsu.

A huge Katsuyu, over ten meters tall, was summoned by Tsunade. Upon its appearance, Shizune quickly wiped off the blood she just used.

"Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade commanded, "Katsuyu, split up immediately and find all the seriously injured ninjas in this camp. I'll treat them through you."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Uchiha Yoichi spoke from the sidelines, "Shizune, go tell Senior Orochimaru that Lady Tsunade is about to begin treating the injured."

"Oh, alright, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Shizune hurried over to Orochimaru's tent where she had been earlier.

Meanwhile, Tsunade returned to the tent and sat down. As Uchiha Yoichi followed her in, he asked, "Should I help transfer Chakra to you later?"

"Don't underestimate me; I'm one of the Sannin."

Tsunade clicked her tongue, feeling this kid was looking after her too much, and as a Sannin and a senior, her pride resisted being cared for by a junior, but deep down, there was an indescribable feeling.

It almost felt like a slight hope that someone would take care of her.

The large Katsuyu dispersed into two to three hundred smaller ones, quickly crawling onto every injured individual; meanwhile, Shizune informed Orochimaru about Tsunade's plan to use the Katsura Jutsu for treatment, and upon hearing this, Orochimaru directly instructed a ninja to take Shizune to the medical team to relay Tsunade's order.

As the treatment began, a substantial amount of Chakra flowed from Tsunade's body, transferred through Katsuyu to the injured.

This Katsura Jutsu was indeed formidable on the battlefield, capable of swiftly healing all the wounded. If the war lasted a day, a lightly injured ninja could return to battle three times in one day, essentially serving as three people.

Initially, due to the camp's shortage of medical ninjas, many lightly injured ninjas went untreated. Now that Tsunade had arrived, all the wounded had started receiving treatment.

Even Hatake Sakumo had a small Katsuyu on his body, transferring Tsunade's Chakra to him for healing.

Sakumo's shoulder wound originally required a lengthy recovery period, but under Tsunade's treatment, his bones, muscle tissues, and more were quickly healing.

Chakra was continuously transmitted for quite a while; the number of seriously injured caught Tsunade off guard, and as she treated them, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

But then, a hand touched her, and Tsunade felt Chakra being passed over.

The sudden Chakra transfer startled her a bit, but Tsunade utilized it anyway. It's common for medical ninjas to share Chakra, and simultaneously receiving Chakra while using Medical Ninjutsu wasn't particularly challenging for Tsunade.

'Affection +2, Tsunade's tsundere personality is truly seen through by this ability.'

Uchiha Yoichi thought to himself after seeing the guide; tsunderes are probably the group most prone to being single.

The Katsura treatment lasted for over an hour before Tsunade finished transferring Chakra. By this time, sweat had covered her face, but just as she opened her eyes, a wet towel appeared before her.

"....Thank you."

Tsunade instinctively muttered softly and then paused, thinking; this shy little ghost is getting better at taking care of people, and the earlier Chakra transfer was...

"How's the treatment? How's Senior Sakumo's injury?"

The serious inquiry from Uchiha Yoichi interrupted Tsunade's thoughts, redirecting her focus to the task at hand: "It's alright, the lightly injured ninjas have regained combat readiness, and some of the seriously injured can move again. The rest will recover in a dozen days, including Sakumo..."

"That's good; it means we have some manpower, and won't be too stretched thin."

Uchiha Yoichi nodded and then noticed a new hint from the guide, causing his mouth to twitch slightly, but he chose to trust his abilities.

Then he added to Tsunade, "By the way, Tsunade, there's something you need to know...."

"What's the matter? Why do you suddenly seem so serious...?"

Tsunade hadn't finished speaking when she saw Uchiha Yoichi extend his hand, and a seedling sprout from his palm.

"Wood Release? Have you been researching my grandfather's cells?"

Upon seeing the Wood Release bloodline, Tsunade's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, recalling what Orochimaru had said to her previously, suddenly realizing, "So that's what Orochimaru meant earlier, worried that we might fight over this?"
