Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

"Bleurgh~~"

Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu had never seen such a bloody scene before. Their faces turned deathly pale, their stomachs churning nonstop. On top of that, the flatbread they had eaten that morning was similar in color to certain things from inside people's heads, and they could not help but throw up.

Although this was common sense, compared to Ronglin's calmness, Tsunade was left with nothing but deep disappointment in the two of them.

With the Boss dealt with in an instant, the remaining bandits were in for a miserable time. The ordinary guards chased them down and cut them apart. The battle became a one-sided massacre, leaving blood-soaked corpses scattered along the road of pursuit.

"Want some?~~"

By evening, the sun had gradually dipped westward. A light breeze drifted by, easing the scorching heat somewhat. Ronglin held two fragrant white flour flatbreads and looked at the two of them.

That was one of the benefits of traveling with a caravan. Otherwise, they could only gnaw on tough dried rations. Having flatbread at a time like this was considered quite a good treatment.

"No." Harusame Yu and Shimura Ou looked awful, clearly reminded of what had happened that morning. The incident had hit them too hard, and even after an entire day, they had yet to recover.

Everyone went through this eventually. As long as you became a ninja, it was unavoidable.

"Is that so? What a shame."

Ronglin smiled and shrugged, then began eating by himself. As for the two troublemakers, their expressions only grew worse.

"Bleurgh~~~"

The vomiting inevitably began again. Not only Ronglin and Tsunade, even the ordinary people in the caravan found it both amusing and exasperating. With nerves like that, how were they supposed to become ninja?

They reacted like this just from seeing a bloody scene. What would they do if war broke out?

Tsunade felt utterly humiliated. She was already planning to take them to the hospital when she had the chance, so they could learn what real bloodiness was.

The two of them had no idea that their poor performance had put them in Tsunade's sights. Otherwise, no matter how awful they felt, they would have held it in and never dared to vomit.

The mission continued. The bandits had only been a minor interruption, and the caravan encountered no more incidents of that sort along the rest of the journey, arriving safely at its destination.

The next part was simple. Tsunade Class quickly returned to the village. Without the caravan slowing them down, the four of them reached Konoha in just four days—and that was with Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu being relatively slow.

"You have two days of rest ahead of you. Make good use of them. In two days, Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu, report to my office at the hospital. Uchiha Ronglin, you have other arrangements. Dismissed."

Tsunade was not merely thinking of giving Shimura Ou and Harusame Yu a period of adjustment. The real show was only beginning, and the two of them were probably in for quite a bit of suffering.

"Why does Teacher Tsunade want us to go to the hospital?"

The two were completely puzzled, while Ronglin's mouth twitched.

Wasn't it obvious? But he had no intention of explaining. Perhaps it would be better for them to experience the process for themselves.

"I don't know. Maybe she wants to give you some training."

"Then I'll head back first. I smell strange all over, and it's making me uncomfortable."

Making up an excuse, Ronglin left directly, leaving behind the two still-confused students.

People said that children in the Naruto world matured early, but these two seemed to have put all that maturity into dating. In every other regard, they were still blank slates. Maybe they would improve after their hospital training.

It was not just Tsunade who was dissatisfied; even Ronglin was somewhat annoyed. As the saying went, better a godlike opponent than pig-like teammates.

If they had to carry two deadweights while carrying out difficult missions in the future, it could cause serious problems. When that time came, should they save their companions or continue completing the mission?
