Terrifying Medical Treatment

Although Nawaki had no idea why his sister Tsunade had suddenly started threatening him,

based on his years of experience watching Jiraiya get abused, whenever Tsunade was in this state, someone was bound to be in trouble.

So at a time like this, the only option was to run.

Otherwise, it would not just be his dignity that Tsunade trampled on.

Especially not in front of so many classmates. He did not want to become the subject of ridicule.

"...I-Is that so, Sis? Then I think my cold is already better, so I-I won't disturb you while you treat someone else!" Nawaki stammered, then immediately turned and ran.

"Stop. Who said you could leave? I haven't finished speaking yet. What's the rush?" Tsunade grabbed the hem of Nawaki's clothes and refused to let him go. Nawaki was like a chick caught in Tsunade's hand.

If Nawaki had looked more carefully, he would have seen that although his sister Tsunade's smile was bright, her face was shrouded in a terrifying shadow that made people uneasy.

"Yeah, yeah. I just saw Nawaki coughing. The May cold snap is quite severe. To prevent the cold germs Nawaki is carrying from causing a widespread flu outbreak in Konoha Village, I ask Lady Tsunade to deal with him swiftly and show no mercy."

Although he had just mocked Tsunade's supposed cold snap, Uchiha Chen was still excited to see Nawaki get punished. Kicking someone when they were down was one of his specialties.

Before Nawaki could cast him an uneasy, threatening glare, Uchiha Chen quickly moved his gaze elsewhere.

"That's right." Tsunade nodded. The bright smile on her face sent chills through Nawaki's entire body.

"My foolish little brother, you see? Your classmates all think so too. It seems your illness really must be treated."

"Uchiha Chen, you set me up! Just you wait!" Unable to escape because Tsunade had grabbed the back of his collar, Nawaki turned around with a grief-stricken expression and glared at the bastard kicking him while he was down.

Was he planning to attack with his eyes?

Mikoto looked at Nawaki sympathetically. "Nawaki, hurry up and apologize to Lady Tsunade. She'll definitely forgive you." Mikoto really was kind.

Knowing he could not leave, Nawaki had already given up struggling.

Mikoto was puzzled. Could it be that Nawaki would not kneel and apologize? If he apologized, he should be forgiven easily. Was this the so-called pride of a ninja?

Seeing Nawaki ignore Mikoto's advice, Uchiha Chen narrowed his eyes approvingly.

As expected of the First Hokage's grandson.

Nawaki straightened his clothes.

Apologize? Honestly, before apologizing, he needed to consider who he was apologizing to. A glint flashed through Nawaki's eyes.

"You're wrong, Mikoto. I know!"

The corners of Nawaki's mouth curled up slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

"I understand perfectly. There's absolutely no need to do that. Apologizing is out of the question." Nawaki continued with the expression of someone who had seen it all.

"Could it be, Nawaki, that you have some backup plan to avoid punishment...?" Uchiha Chen asked doubtfully, frowning at Nawaki's calm attitude.

"Backup plan? You're wrong. Chen, you don't understand at all." Nawaki mocked.

"That's not what I mean." Nawaki wore an expression as though he already knew everything.

"If this were a test, then unfortunately, Chen, your answer would only score zero. The reason I won't apologize to my sister isn't because of pride or because I have a backup plan. The correct answer is—

—the correct answer is that even if I kneel and apologize, Sis still won't give up on punishing me.

"..."

"Enough nonsense. Your illness needs to be treated quickly."

With a slap, Tsunade pressed Nawaki onto the table, giving him no chance to struggle.

"Nawaki, you know what my Summoning Beast is. These Slugs have excellent medicinal uses..."

Tsunade directly picked up a Slug from the table.

"Ninja Art: Slug Insertion Technique."

Then the Slug was thrust straight into Nawaki's mouth.

Before he could even finish speaking, Nawaki did not have time to scream before a slimy Slug was forcibly shoved into his mouth.

The sour, bitter taste quickly filled his nose. Nawaki's face twisted into an expression of agony. Yet beneath that twisted expression was a faint trace of intoxication.

"..."

Was this the famous French escargot?

So this was what it was like.

"What kind of expression is that? This is a folk remedy I painstakingly developed, little brother. It specifically treats spoiled brats and troublesome children."

"Sis, didn't you say it was for treating colds?" Nawaki asked.

"Oh, treating colds is only a side effect."

Princess Tsunade of Konoha brushed her golden hair aside and revealed a smile that made Nawaki tremble uncontrollably.

Nawaki shuddered as he tried to flee.

"How tragic... This is just too tragic." Even Uchiha Chen could not bear to keep watching.

Looking at the half-dead Nawaki, Uchiha Chen could not help sighing at how serious Konoha's problem children were.

What a terrifying woman. Uchiha Chen immediately added Tsunade to his list of people not to offend.

A woman who could treat even her own younger brother like this truly deserved to be the one who had once broken several of Jiraiya's bones and left him at death's door.

Uchiha Chen did not actually know much about Princess Tsunade.

Although he was close with Nawaki, he had never met Tsunade before.

But after meeting her today, and thinking of Konoha's future Three Sannin who would become famous throughout the ninja world, this woman was clearly no pushover either.

Uchiha Chen carefully examined Tsunade's appearance.

Tsunade was only sixteen at the time. She had golden hair and wore a Jonin Flak Jacket. The Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead had not yet been completed, and she still looked youthful and innocent.

She was tall and had long legs, but compared to the old lady of later years who constantly used the Strength of a Hundred Seal to maintain the appearance of a twenty-year-old, why did Tsunade at this age have no womanly charm at all? Which part had gone wrong?

"Ah, flat-chested?"

"I'll break every one of your fingers! One by one, nice and neatly!" Tsunade smiled gently.

Damn. I let it slip. I think I stepped on a landmine.

A few seconds later, a slimy Slug had been shoved into Uchiha Chen's mouth as well.

Mikoto stood beside Uchiha Chen. "Honestly, what is going through Chen's head?"

"Uchiha brat, come find me again next time you need treatment. Don't be shy," Princess Tsunade said to Uchiha Chen in a gentle tone.

"No, thank you. I'm very healthy." Uchiha Chen hurriedly shook his head and refused.

Was this thing really for treating illnesses? Anyone who could accept this treatment ought to have their head examined first.

For all he knew, one wrong sentence might get him killed by Tsunade on the operating table.
