The Contest for Konoha's Foremost Medical Ninja

In Uchiha Dan's eyes, Tsunade was one of the evil Senju Clan, so she was an evil Tsunade.

If it weren't for your Second Grandfather, would I be where I am today?

Who could stand it when an enemy acted cute right in front of them?

But Tsunade was not really acting cute. She merely looked a little like she was, and she was not putting on an act on purpose.

A ninja bullying an ordinary person for no reason within their own village violated Konoha's ninja regulations.

Moreover, Uchiha Dan had never taken the initiative to provoke Tsunade. She had been the one picking a fight from the start, making her behavior seem even more overbearing.

Actually, grabbing Uchiha Dan's hand just now had gone against Tsunade's principles. She had never been someone who bullied the weak with strength.

But she could not be blamed for losing control just now. Who told Uchiha Dan to be so infuriating?

He had cursed at her the entire way, spouting all kinds of strange insults without pause.

Uchiha Dan had risen to fame five years ago.

Since then, more and more people had acknowledged his Medical Arts and praised him endlessly, calling him Konoha's number one Medical Ninja.

Tsunade, unwilling to accept that, had immediately been stirred by her competitive spirit.

If you're Konoha's number one Medical Ninja, then what am I?

Konoha doesn't allow someone that awesome to exist!

Tsunade had displayed astonishing talent in Medical Ninjutsu since childhood and aspired to become the number one Medical Ninja in the ninja world. She would never allow anyone's Medical Arts to surpass hers, especially not some guy her own age.

At the time, twelve-year-old Tsunade had been a thoroughly spoiled princess. Having never endured the crucible of war, she had run wild in Konoha.

So, unwilling to accept it, she had gone straight to Uchiha Dan and challenged him to a contest of Medical Arts.

Yet over the past five years, Tsunade had never once defeated Uchiha Dan. She had lost a total of forty-seven times.

Every time she lost, Uchiha Dan would mock her mercilessly, making her furious enough to jump in rage.

Tsunade, whose teeth itched with anger every time, secretly swore that she would defeat Uchiha Dan fair and square in Medical Arts at least once.

Rubbing his painfully aching wrist, Uchiha Dan looked at Tsunade with contempt and said disdainfully, "So, are you sure you still want to compete?"

Seeing Uchiha Dan's attitude, Tsunade's temper flared up again. She snapped, "What do you think I came here for today?"

"Heh, who knows?" Uchiha Dan continued disdainfully. "Coming to the hospital to bully a doctor too weak to even tie up a chicken—what impressive authority, Lord Tsunade. If you can't handle losing, then don't play!"

"Ah, you bastard!" Tsunade's face reddened with rage as she gritted her teeth. "Isn't it all because you keep making me mad?"

"I make you mad? Fine. A good man doesn't fight with a woman. I can't be bothered explaining."

"Then, you barbarian!" Uchiha Dan suddenly said with a grave expression, "Have you prepared yourself to cry today?"

"Oh, right!" As if remembering something, Uchiha Dan added, "Remember not to cry in the hospital today. Go home before you cry."

"Ah, you bastard! When have I ever cried? Explain yourself!" This time, Tsunade was truly so wronged that she was about to cry.

Tsunade had indeed lost the previous forty-seven times, but she had never cried. She really was not someone who could not accept defeat.

Yet Uchiha Dan was slandering her in front of everyone, treating the rumor that she cried after losing as though it were an established fact. It was enough to drive her mad.

"Fine, fine, you've never cried, never cried!" Uchiha Dan said perfunctorily. "Everyone heard that, right? Lord Tsunade has never cried after losing to me. Once you leave, don't go spreading nonsense."

But his obvious attempt to deny it only made it clear that he wanted to cement the story of Tsunade crying after losing.

Tsunade was now trembling all over with rage, as though she really might burst into tears at any moment.

Seeing this, Uchiha Dan felt utterly refreshed and smiled happily.

Your Second Grandfather kept tormenting me for so many years even after dying. It's not too much for me to collect a little interest, right?

Besides, I've never gone looking for trouble with you. You, Tsunade, brought this on yourself. Who can you blame?

If you have to blame someone, blame the evil Tobirama Senju.

Thinking of Tobirama Senju, a mad thought suddenly surfaced in Uchiha Dan's mind.

If I made Tsunade mine, then revived Tobirama Senju with the Impure World Reincarnation, how furious would that make him?

He might just get so angry that he died again even in the Impure World Reincarnation state.

Just thinking about it felt damn satisfying!

Of course, Uchiha Dan was only thinking about it. He could not possibly really do that.

If he actually married the princess of the evil Senju Clan, how unpleasant would that feel?

How would he have fun provoking Tsunade afterward?

After all, this was one of Uchiha Dan's few forms of entertainment.

"Enough. If you want to cry, go home and cry. Tell me, how are we competing?"

Wanting to hurry back to his simulated training, Uchiha Dan wanted to end this farce as soon as possible and spoke seriously.

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly, sounding aggrieved. "I'll treat the hand, and you treat the leg. We'll see whose treatment works better."

The patient Tsunade chose was a construction worker from Konoha. While climbing high at a construction site, he had unfortunately fallen and broken one arm and one leg.

The patient had already been hospitalized for three days after receiving treatment at the hospital.

It was clear that Lord Tsunade had planned today's contest well in advance—it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, and she had already chosen her targets.

"Barbarians first!" Uchiha Dan took a step back and made a welcoming gesture, yielding the space to Lord Tsunade.

At the same time, he did not forget to provoke Lord Tsunade further.

Lord Tsunade gritted her teeth. After taking several deep breaths, she stopped paying attention to Uchiha Dan, stepped forward, and swiftly removed the bandages wrapped around the patient's hand.

However, Lord Tsunade did not begin treatment right away. Instead, she gradually untied the bandage around her forehead, revealing a blue diamond-shaped marking.

Holy shit!

Uchiha Dan was startled inwardly. Was she crazy?

Or had he pushed her too far? Had she actually learned Uzumaki Mito's Yin Seal several years ahead of schedule?

But that was not all. Lord Tsunade performed the Summoning Technique again and summoned a slug the size of a human head.

After doing all that, Lord Tsunade closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes, Lord Tsunade held the patient's hand above the slug. Precisely controlled Chakra flowed through the slug and into the site of the patient's broken bone.

At the same time, a small amount of extremely concentrated Chakra flowed from the diamond-shaped marking on her forehead toward her palm, mixing with the Chakra emerging from her hand.

Finally, Lord Tsunade used the Mystical Palm Technique, pressing her right hand against the patient's broken bone and placing her left hand over her right to better control the Chakra.

Seeing Lord Tsunade go all out from the very start, Uchiha Dan was speechless.

Wasn't this cheating? Was she bullying him because he did not have a summoning beast?

Well, even if he did have one, it would not help. It was not like he could summon a slug.

Although Lord Tsunade had used every trump card she had, putting pressure on Uchiha Dan, it was also obvious that he had provoked her badly. She had gone red-eyed and used every trick at her disposal.

More than ten minutes later, Lord Tsunade withdrew her Chakra somewhat weakly, took a step back, and anxiously asked the patient, "Sir, how do you feel?"

After carefully sensing his arm, the patient was stunned.

Then, he cautiously raised his hand. When he detected nothing unusual, he even swung it around excitedly.

He was healed? What kind of medical miracle was this?

He could no longer feel any pain at all. Instead, it felt incredibly comfortable. The patient said excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Tsunade, thank you, Lord Tsunade. I feel like my hand has completely healed."

"Yes! That's great!" Lord Tsunade jumped up in delight. She looked at Uchiha Dan with a provocative gaze and said smugly, "Bastard, let's see how you beat me today."

"Heh." Uchiha Dan shot Lord Tsunade a disdainful glance and said casually, "You think you're the only one who's improved?"

"As it happens, I recently developed a new healing ninjutsu. Today, I'll make you admit defeat again."
