Tsunade: So fast?

"Hirakawa? He's undoubtedly a genius in medical ninjutsu. In just one year, he became a qualified medical ninja."

"And before, to encourage him, I rewarded him with the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique. With his talent, he must have mastered it by now."

"Oh, right. Yesterday, Hirakawa completed ten medical missions, and seven of them were done solo."

Listening to Minako's evaluation of Hirakawa Aosui, Tsunade was surprised.

She hadn't expected Kushina to be telling the truth. This guy was actually a genius in medical ninjutsu.

Sigh, what a hassle.

She thought it would just be a formality, but it seemed she really needed to put in some effort to guide him.

She really wanted to go gambling!

[Completed treatment for Sasakura Hiroaki, rewarded with one Blue Orb.]

[Congratulations on obtaining one Explosive Tag.]

Sasakura Hiroaki was an ordinary Chunin. Aosui had thought this treatment would earn him a hundred points of chakra.

To his surprise, he instead received an Explosive Tag.

An Explosive Tag is a ninja tool that looks like a piece of paper with a runic pattern drawn on it. It's mainly used for setting traps or in conjunction with kunai.

Furthermore, Explosive Tags possess immense power. Their most famous feat was single-handedly killing Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki.

And the most famous scene was undoubtedly when Konan fought Obito and used six hundred billion Explosive Tags to disguise the sea.

However, for ordinary ninjas, Explosive Tags are not ninja tools that can be used on a large scale.

The reason? Their price is too high.

But overall, this reward wasn't a total loss.

An Explosive Tag, at times, could change the outcome of a battle.

Especially when chakra is depleted.

"It seems that unlike Blue Orbs, Blue Orbs don't only yield chakra rewards."

Thinking this, Aosui suddenly remembered.

Since Blue Orbs could yield Explosive Tags, they should be able to yield other ninja tools as well.

Ninjas earn a lot, but their expenses are also high.

The biggest expense is on purchasing ninja tools.

From now on, he wouldn't need to spend a lot of money to buy ninja tools.

Even if he was short on cash, he could sell ninja tools to make money.

Anyway, it was zero cost. Even if he sold them for a little less than the market price, it would still be pure profit.

"Looking at it this way, this isn't just breaking even, it's a massive profit."

Don't forget, he needed to heal people to get these ninja tools, and that itself was making money.

Therefore, Hirakawa Aosui was like Ying Zheng touching a live wire, winning big.

As Hirakawa Aosui was thinking, a nurse suddenly knocked on his office door.

"Lord Hirakawa, Lady Tsunade wants you to go to her office."

He thought it was another patient needing treatment, but it turned out Tsunade wanted to see him?

When did Tsunade even come to Konoha Hospital?

And why would she suddenly want to see him?

Hirakawa Aosui was very puzzled.

He hadn't seen Tsunade since the end of the Second Great Ninja War.

After all, he never went to the Senju Clan Compound, nor did he go to places that violated the three ninja prohibitions like casinos or bars.

The only place he might have had contact with Tsunade was Konoha Hospital.

But ever since Hirakawa Aosui started learning medical ninjutsu, he hadn't seen Tsunade visit.

It must be that Kushina did something.

Speculating like this, Hirakawa Aosui got up and went to Tsunade's office.

"Lady Tsunade, I am Hirakawa Aosui."

"Come in."

Hirakawa Aosui pushed the door open upon hearing the voice, and the first thing he saw was two Chibaku Tensei.

Hiss, is this the power of level 106? Terrifying!

Cough, cough, sorry, I forgot to turn off the auto-aim.

"Lady Tsunade, you were looking for me?"

"Yesterday, I heard Kushina say you are a genius in medical ninjutsu, so she asked me to come and guide you."

Tsunade didn't hide anything, directly stating that she came to guide Qingshui at Kushina's request.

Just as expected.

Qingshui, who had already guessed the reason, immediately showed a grateful expression.

"Won't this trouble Lady Tsunade too much?"

"It's fine, with your talent, this is something you deserve."

Although she really wanted to go gamble right away, Tsunade wouldn't be perfunctory because of it.

"Go ahead, what do you want me to guide you on?"

"Then Lady Tsunade, can you teach me Chakra Scalpel?"

After a moment of thought, Qingshui decided to take this opportunity to learn this A-rank medical ninjutsu.

The reason for choosing Chakra Scalpel was that this technique could cut into the target's body without causing external injuries.

In other words, this technique could actually be used in combat.

In the original work, Kabuto Yakushi had used this technique against Tsunade.

Tsunade did not refuse Qingshui's request and directly handed him a ninjutsu scroll.

"Take a look first, you can ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

Soon, Qingshui finished reading the Chakra Scalpel scroll.

"How does it feel?"

"A bit difficult, but not much."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade subconsciously pouted, clearly thinking Qingshui was bragging.

After all, this was an A-rank medical ninjutsu, and even she had spent several days to master it back then.

"Since you're so confident, how long do you think you'll need to learn it?"

"Three days at most."

Without any hesitation, Qingshui gave his answer.

"So fast? Kid, you've got a big mouth."

Seeing Qingshui's confidence, Tsunade became more interested instead.

"Then do you dare to bet with me? If you can learn Chakra Scalpel within three days, I'll teach you Mystical Palm Technique as well."

"But if you can't do it, you lose ten million ryo to me."

There's such a good thing?

Qingshui agreed immediately without thinking.

Betting with Tsunade?

No need to hesitate, the advantage is mine!

"This is ten million ryo, not one thousand ryo. If you lose, you'll have to work for free for several years."

Working at Konoha Hospital, the salary is fixed at only 100,000 ryo per month.

Seeing Qingshui agree so easily, Tsunade thought he hadn't heard the amount clearly.

However, Qingshui immediately indicated that he had heard correctly.

"Since you insist on giving me money, I will be merciful and be more serious when I guide you."

Seeing his persistence, Tsunade said no more, only silently deciding to let Qingshui lose only 100,000 ryo to her in three days.

After all, he was Kushina's friend, she couldn't be too much.

That's right, Tsunade had already assumed she would win.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Qingshui's mouth twitched slightly.

He didn't understand where Tsunade got her confidence from.

Don't you have any awareness of your own luck in gambling?

Next, Qingshui asked Tsunade about his problems one by one, and Tsunade answered without any concealment.

"Thank you, Lord Tsunade."

After all his doubts were answered, Qingshui didn't linger here any longer.

As soon as he left Tsunade's office, a nurse found him, saying there was an injured person who needed immediate surgery.
