Tsunade Examines Kakashi

"You're Da Ju! Are you married?" Tsunade accurately called out the woman's name the moment she saw her.

The head nurse's face flushed red. "Lady Tsunade, don't call me that!"

"Okay, Da Ju!" Tsunade repeated.

Da Ju looked utterly helpless. If anyone else had said that to her, she would have rushed up and scratched them long ago.

But this was Tsunade, so she could only accept it.

"So your name is Da Ju. No wonder you always made us call you Big Sis. Heh heh!" Hikari recklessly chimed in, instantly provoking Da Ju's fury.

"Light Boy, if you've got guts, fight me one-on-one!"

Hikari said, "Heh heh, you think I'm afraid of you?"

Da Ju said, "Come over here, then!"

Hikari said, "You come over here!"

How embarrassing!

Watching the two of them fool around, Tsunade grabbed Hikari by the back of the neck and pushed him toward Konoha Hospital.

At that, Da Ju flashed a smug smile.

Sure enough, Lady Tsunade still loves me.

Tsunade, you old hag, you don't take care of me at all!

Can't you see how much I look like your Second Grandfather? Shouldn't you look after me more—promote me, raise my pay, and assign me a few beauties so I can strengthen the Kagetsuki clan?

"Grit, grit!"

Tsunade ground her teeth. When Hikari was not around, she actually missed him a little.

But whenever Hikari was by her side and she heard the filthy nonsense in his head, she only wanted to hit someone.

"Behave yourself. Guy, take me to see Kakashi first. Rock Lee comes after that!"

"This way, Lady Tsunade!" Knowing it was not easy for Tsunade to make the trip, Might Guy immediately led the way, looking extremely eager to please.

With his nape held in the grip of fate, Hikari could only yield to Tsunade's tyrannical might.

Amid the laughter of the nurses along the way, Hikari arrived at Kakashi's hospital room.

Tsunade released Hikari, shot him a warning glare, and then started feeling Kakashi all over.

Well, more accurately, she was examining Kakashi.

This time, Hikari did not let his thoughts wander. Instead, he stood obediently beside Might Guy and waited for Tsunade's examination results.

As Might Guy's friend, Hikari was not especially familiar with Kakashi. Still, as a transmigrator, he had long admired the Hidden Leaf Village's famous Kakashi Hatake.

Their relationship was fairly good.

Compared with ordinary jonin, Kakashi was quite approachable.

About half an hour later, Tsunade finished her examination.

"Kakashi's brain was severely stimulated by genjutsu. His body's self-preservation instincts activated, putting him into deep sleep to protect his survival. It seems Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu truly is formidable. Even Kakashi, who possesses a Three Tomoe Sharingan, ended up like this!"

Tsk tsk, Itachi's genjutsu is Tsukuyomi. Aside from Infinite Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami, it's the strongest genjutsu in the Ninja World. How could it not be ridiculously powerful?

Tsunade, you're not good enough either!

Hearing that, Tsunade could not tolerate it.

Just as she was about to teach Hikari a lesson, she heard his next thoughts.

Kakashi's left eye isn't a Three Tomoe Sharingan. It's a Mangekyō Sharingan, containing the precious space-time ocular technique, Kamui!

Kakashi doesn't have Uchiha blood, nor does he have Senju Clan or Uzumaki Clan blood. The Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power is too strong, and his body can't withstand it. That's why it has always appeared as a Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Now that Tsukuyomi has stimulated it, Kakashi should have entered a deeper fusion with the Sharingan this time.

What a pity he doesn't have Hashirama Cells or White Zetsu Cells. Otherwise, Kakashi could use Kamui like an ordinary technique, and the Hidden Leaf Village would gain another top-tier expert!

After hearing Hikari's inner thoughts, Tsunade began to think.

First, there was the matter of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Even Kakashi himself did not know about it, yet Hikari knew it clearly and even knew the ocular technique contained within it. That was very strange.

As for Hashirama Cells, Tsunade knew they had to be something extracted from her grandfather's corpse.

But what the hell were White Zetsu Cells?

She had never even heard that name before.

She wanted to ask Hikari directly why he knew so much, but when she considered all the things he had been hiding, Tsunade became uncertain.

If she insisted on getting to the bottom of it, there were only two possible outcomes.

One was that Hikari's heart was not with the Hidden Leaf Village. Once she exposed the truth, he would go on a killing spree before fleeing.

The other possibility was that Hikari's heart was with the Hidden Leaf Village. Once he learned Tsunade could hear his thoughts, he would choose to leave.

Either way, the Hidden Leaf Village would lose Hikari.

If it had been the Third Hokage, there was a high chance he would have chosen to act. But the current Hokage was Tsunade, a broad-minded and extraordinary woman.

Why is Tsunade staring at me like that? Could she really have fallen for my handsome, dashing face? If so, what position should we use tonight?

Fine.

Tsunade's face instantly darkened.

In her mind, the possibility of Hikari being a spy dropped to less than 0.01%.

What kind of spy lusted after Tsunade's beauty every single day?

Even if he was a spy, Tsunade was confident she could use her beauty to make Hikari abandon darkness and turn toward the light.

As for the intelligence Hikari had thought of, she would just firmly keep it in mind for now.

"Next, I'll prepare some nutrient fluid to restore Kakashi's depleted body. Once his body recovers, I'll use Medical Ninjutsu to stimulate it and wake him up." Tsunade quickly decided on Kakashi's treatment plan.

Based on her own examination, together with the information she had learned from Hikari's thoughts, Tsunade decided to make slight changes to her treatment plan.

Originally, Tsunade had planned to wake Kakashi directly, then proceed with rehabilitation treatment.

But the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan caught Tsunade's attention.

As the princess of the Senju Clan, Tsunade knew something about the Mangekyō.

Every Mangekyō Sharingan contained a terrifyingly powerful ocular technique. When both eyes were gathered, one could use Susanoo, instantly reaching the level of the Five Kage or even surpassing them.

Kakashi's left eye was a Mangekyō Sharingan. Since he could not activate it because his physical condition could not keep up, Tsunade would prepare medicine to enhance his body's functions, strengthen his Chakra, and help him adapt to the Mangekyō more quickly.

That way, Kakashi, who could wield the Mangekyō, would be able to leap straight to her current level of strength.

She truly wanted to see that legendary space-time ocular technique.

The treatment would be more troublesome, but compared with the enormous gains, it would all be worth it.

"Alright, send someone to continue guarding Kakashi. Next, let's go see Rock Lee!" After saying that, Tsunade turned and walked out of the room. Might Guy immediately followed, guiding her toward the place where Rock Lee was recuperating.

Forget it. I'll help you out this time, Kakashi. I hope you'll grow stronger in the future and let my wife Tsunade worry a little less. That'll be enough!
