"You're in charge of beating them up, and Dan and I will handle the healing. Just don't actually kill anyone."
"Mhm!" Hearing Tsunade's words, Kushina was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly.
Suddenly arriving in a strange environment, there was nothing more reassuring to her than these words.
Especially after being mocked just after introducing herself, Kushina, who already had a bad temper, had been wanting to put up with it for a while.
"And you!" Tsunade's expression turned cold instantly as she looked at the ninja academy teacher, startling him into a violent shiver.
"You're on your own!"
Tsunade snorted coldly and, without another word, pulled Uchiha Dan away.
She hadn't expected Uchiha Dan's words to come true; Kushina had indeed been bullied.
Currently, Kushina hadn't established a sense of trust with Tsunade or Uzumaki Mito, and if she were bullied, she most likely wouldn't say anything when she got home.
However, if she didn't speak up about such things, it would be difficult for her parents to know, and Kushina might continue to suffer bullying.
"Dan, thanks!" Tsunade said gratefully after leaving the ninja academy.
"It was nothing, but you should pay more attention to Kushina. Children at this age are very sensitive."
"I know!" As always, Tsunade was convinced by Uchiha Dan.
With daily work and training, two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Kushina and Namikaze Minato quickly became best friends.
Children's friendships always form quickly.
By now, the two of them attended classes together, left together, and trained together every day, their relationship extremely close.
No one dared to bother Kushina anymore.
However, during practical combat training, Kushina, being young and lacking sufficient strength and chakra control, accidentally injured several classmates.
This led many to privately call her the "Red Hot-Blooded Pepper" and keep their distance from her.
It was all due to the Uzumaki Clan's immense talent; Kushina's strength and chakra reserves were far beyond what a seven-year-old child should possess.
Kushina was very upset about this.
But soon, she found a practice partner who didn't dislike or fear her at all: Namikaze Minato.
No one knew how Namikaze Minato trained, but his strength was in no way inferior to Kushina's true, innate divine strength.
Except for his chakra reserves, which were inferior to Kushina's, he completely surpassed her in all other aspects.
It was just that his kind appearance was too deceptive, and coupled with his excellent control over chakra and the force of his attacks, he never injured his classmates.
Furthermore, Namikaze Minato never bullied the weak; instead, he always helped bullied classmates and was very warm-hearted, so he was very popular.
Influenced by the Namikaze Toneri couple, Namikaze Minato was inherently kind.
However, he was more influenced by Uchiha Dan, enjoying the use of strategy, understanding people's hearts, and judging situations even at such a young age.
Moreover, he was clear about grudges and favors, never being a pushover, and never hesitating when he should act.
For example, the older brother of Yamada Genji, who had bullied Kushina two months prior, came looking for trouble after school that day. As a result, Namikaze Minato broke both his legs, and he never appeared again.
And after Yamada Genji was brutally beaten by Namikaze Minato for a week, leaving him with deep psychological trauma, he also became obedient until now.
While the two little ones were happily enjoying their days.
Uchiha Dan and Tsunade were still diligently working at Konoha Hospital.
As a ninja, Tsunade was supposed to be on missions.
However, except for missions assigned directly by the Hokage to Anbu Ninja, other ninja, unless in special circumstances, were free to accept missions or not during peacetime.
Tsunade, who only wanted to be with Uchiha Dan, naturally didn't want to go anywhere. However, the money she earned at the hospital was no less than what she would have made on missions.
Of course, this situation only happened with Tsunade; after all, her medical skills were second to none in the Ninja World.
In the largest office in Konoha Hospital.
Tsunade, bored, lay on the desk, occasionally blowing on a small wind chime ornament with her mouth, producing crisp and pleasant chimes.
However, her eyes were constantly fixed on Uchiha Dan.
How could this guy be so handsome?
She liked him more the more she looked, and her liking grew with every glance.
Uchiha Dan had long grown accustomed to all this, merely flipping through medical records and letting Tsunade stare at him.
Tsunade was becoming more and more unrestrained, her aggressiveness and purposefulness increasing, yet Uchiha Dan was becoming more and more accustomed to it.
What was all this?
Was she really not leaving? It seemed... perhaps... maybe... it wasn't impossible.
Just then, a very noisy commotion suddenly erupted from outside the office, accompanied by shouting.
Tsunade, her mood ruined, immediately grew angry and was about to go out to confront the noisy individuals.
What did they think this place was? This was a hospital, not a marketplace.
"Sit down!" Uchiha Dan said to Tsunade, his voice gentle yet firm. "Leave this matter to me. You just need to rest."
As he spoke, Uchiha Dan draped a blanket over Tsunade.
"Okay!" Tsunade lay back down, feeling incredibly sweet inside.
Ever since, Tsunade had been accompanying Uchiha Dan for training every evening.
For the past three months, Uchiha Dan had insisted she rest every morning and not concern herself with anything.
Initially, Uchiha Dan had hoped Tsunade would just sleep at home in the mornings and not come to the hospital, but Tsunade absolutely refused.
With no other choice, Uchiha Dan had added a single bed to his office.
However, Tsunade had barely used it. She preferred to watch Uchiha Dan from across his desk.
Hmph, you jerk, I'll just keep watching you. Let's see how long you can last.
Moreover, over the past three months, Uchiha Dan's actions had consistently shown his care for Tsunade.
Therefore, Tsunade was meticulously planning how to take their relationship a step further.
Being cared for by the person you liked was sweet, but having your relationship unacknowledged was agonizing.
Closing the office door, Uchiha Dan walked in the direction of the noise and soon arrived in front of the operating room.
"What are you doing?" Seeing a crowd packed inside the operating room, Uchiha Dan immediately stepped forward and demanded.
Did they really think this was a marketplace?
A nurse quickly pushed through the crowd and hurried out, saying, "Doctor Dan, we just received a severely injured patient."
"But his companions are very agitated and insist on staying in the operating room. They refuse to come out, no matter what."
"How bad is he?" Uchiha Dan asked, frowning.
"He's on the verge of death!" the nurse replied quietly.
"Hmph!" Uchiha Dan walked directly into the operating room, grabbed two people by the neck, and threw them out.
"What are you doing?" an angry shout came, and someone rushed in front of Uchiha Dan. Upon seeing him clearly, their expression froze. "It's you? Uchiha Dan?"
"Uchiha En?" Uchiha Dan said coldly, recognizing the other person. "Heh, I wondered who it was!"
"Uchiha En, take your people and get out immediately. If you delay the treatment, can you afford the responsibility?"
"Is it your place, you trash, to speak?" Uchiha En said fiercely. "Where is Lady Tsunade? And the legendary Doctor Dan? Hurry and call them for me."
"Idiot!" Uchiha Dan stood aside with his arms crossed, watching coldly.
Fine, you like causing trouble, don't you? Then let's waste time.
It's your person dying anyway. I don't care.
