Astonished Tsunade!

As a law-abiding, model Ninja, Shinki knew that embezzling village funds was a very serious offense, potentially costing him the rest of his life in Konoha Prison.

So, Shinki made a condition to Tsunade: "Okay, but you embezzled the public funds, it has nothing to do with me."

Tsunade readily nodded. "You're such a slippery kid... Don't worry, since I'm asking you for a favor, I definitely won't let you take the blame."

In the following days, Shinki moved entirely into the Laboratory.

From a complete novice in biology, he transformed himself into a master of biological research.

One week later.

Shinki submitted Rock Lee's complete surgical procedures, which detailed the Cell Activation process.

Tsunade sat in the Hokage's Office, looking at the proposal handed to her by Shinki, and the more she read, the more surprised she became.

"Did you write all of these by yourself?"

Tsunade's voice involuntarily rose.

It wasn't that she was making a fuss; it's just that this kid from Shinki is too extraordinary!

The surgical plan he submitted not only described every procedure and every detail in complete detail.

They even listed dozens of possible complications that might occur during the surgery and provided corresponding solutions.

His research on Cell Activation particularly amazed Tsunade!

He doesn't seem like a newbie who's only been learning Medical Ninjutsu for less than a month; he seems like a veteran doctor with decades of experience!

"Yes."

Shinki rubbed his eyes, looking exhausted.

He's been working tirelessly day and night on this plan.

It feels even more tiring than learning Ninjutsu!

Fortunately, the result was good; the solution was finally completed!

"Take your time looking at it. Remember to transfer the money to my card. I'm going back to sleep now."

Exhausted, Shinki pushed open the door, wanting to leave.

Tsunade, however, stopped him again with a troubled expression. "After reviewing your entire plan, I think there's one more thing you need to prepare."

Shinki shrugged, a look of disdain on his face. "Sure, but it'll cost extra."

Tsunade, as always, was generous. "Alright! This time I'll raise it to five million!! (•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖"

Shinki immediately perked up and stood ramrod straight. "Lord Hokage! Please feel free to give any orders!"

Tsunade smiled and said, "I hope you will perform this surgery on Rock Lee."

Shinki:=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)

Shizune:ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!

"Lady Tsunade, is this really okay?! Shinki has only been learning Medical Ninjutsu for half a month!"

"Rock Lee's surgery is extremely dangerous. Even you, with your years of experience medical-nin, aren't confident. Letting a newcomer like him perform it is a bit too irresponsible..."

Shizune alert was urgently issued.

Shinki is a genius, she admits.

But Shinki is only thirteen years old; how could he possibly shoulder such a great responsibility!

Tsunade had anticipated that someone would question it, so she picked up the plan on the table and handed it to Shizune: "Take a look for yourself..."

Shizune took the proposal and glanced at it.

As I watched...

Her mouth involuntarily opened wide.

This... this...

Is this really a solution written by a beginner?!

Even if this plan were written by Lady Tsunade, it wouldn't be this detailed and thorough!

Tsunade looked at Shizune's surprised Shizune and gave her an expression that seemed to have been expected.

"Although this plan is detailed in every aspect, to maximize the success rate of the surgery, we still need to have Shinki perform the surgery himself, because he is the person in Konoha who understands 'Cell Activation' the most."

"Moreover, only he possesses such a vast amount of Chakra, enabling him to complete the entire troublesome surgery in one go."

"But..."

There are still some concerns about Shizune.

Tsunade looked directly up at the Shinki and asked, "What do you think?"

Then, fearing that Shinki might still have concerns, Tsunade explained, "Don't worry, we'll announce to the public that I performed this surgery. Even if the surgery fails, you won't feel any burden."

Shinki began to ponder.

Surgery is too much trouble.

Furthermore, he's been practicing Medical Ninjutsu for so long, but he hasn't performed a single surgery yet. At most, he can apply anti-inflammatory medicine to the wounded and set bones...

"I..."

Shinki spoke, intending to refuse.

Tsunade and quickly held up one finger. "Ten million. If Rock Lee's surgery is successful, I'll transfer ten million to your account!"

Shinki:ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!

In principle, I could refuse, but she offered too much money.

"The Lord Hokage's affairs are my affairs!! Don't bring up money or anything like that, it'll hurt our feelings!"

"I agree to this!"

Shinki's face was serious, and his words were impassioned.

Tsunade immediately showed a satisfied expression. "Alright, then go back and rest for a bit. We'll start practical surgical training tomorrow. After all, you're still a complete novice who hasn't even cut a human skin before."

Shinki nodded in agreement and instantly teleported home to sleep using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the Hokage's Office, a worried Shizune said, "Lady Tsunade, isn't your decision a bit too hasty?"

Tsunade exhaled a breath of stale air, stood in front of the window of the Hokage's Office, and looked out at the Konoha street scene.

"It's alright, I'll train him over the next few days, and if he's not suitable, I'll replace him promptly."

The house of Shinki and Naruto.

Naruto was diligently training in the courtyard, noticed that Shinki had fallen asleep as soon as he returned. He went up to him with concern and asked, "What have you been researching these past few days? You've been working from dawn till dusk, and you've even neglected your training."

Shinki was almost asleep by now, mumbling an explanation. "To help Rock Lee with the surgery..."

Naruto: "Huh?! =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)"

Konoha Ninja Hospital

Tsunade walked to Rock Lee's bedside, smiling like a gentle older sister.

"Li, we'll schedule your surgery as early as a week from now."

"Once the surgery is complete, you'll be back to normal."

Might Guy, who was also nearby, asked in confusion, "Didn't you say last time that the success rate of the surgery was very low?"

"Shinki has overcome the challenge of Cell Activation."

Tsunade smiled and explained, "Because the Shinki has overcome the challenge of Cell Activation, it has directly increased the success rate of the surgery to 80%."

"It's Shinki again! That guy is really a pleasant surprise."

Li lay on the hospital bed, his eyes revealing reverence for the Shinki.

He first saw the Shinki in an open space outside the village.

At that time, Shinki was practicing the Eight Gates, and at such a young age, he was able to open the Eight Gates Fifth Gate.

Later, he encountered Shinki again during the Chunin Ninja Exams and, overestimating his abilities, challenged him to a match, only to be completely defeated.

Later, many stories about the Shinki began to circulate, such as Wood Release Ninjas saving Konoha...

Gradually, Rock Lee, who had always considered himself a hard-working genius, discovered that Shinki had become his second idol besides Teacher Kai.

"I will always strive to be his role model; he is the person I want to chase my whole life!"

Li clenched his fist.
