"Nice to meet you all. Starting today, I am the captain of this Medical Team. I am Shiraishi Yoshijo, and I look forward to working with you."
Shiraishi Yoshijo looked at the two rows of Medical Team members standing before him and gave a brief self-introduction.
There were eight members in the Medical Team in total, and aside from Tsunade, he didn't recognize any of them.
Shiraishi Yoshijo was slightly surprised that Tsunade was undergoing advanced training in the Medical Team.
He had assumed this woman was self-taught, never expecting her to have formal training.
"First, thank you all for welcoming me to the position. Now, let's take roll."
After finishing the roll call and getting a general impression of the Medical Team members, he dismissed them.
Shiraishi Yoshijo returned to his former office at the hospital.
The office had completely changed, filled everywhere with a feminine touch.
Shiraishi Yoshijo sighed.
Ever since he left the hospital, this office had become the private office of Yakushi Nonō.
She was also the captain of the Medical Team who had just stepped down.
He held no prejudice against this woman; she was simply following the orders of Danzo.
Come to think of it, since returning to Konoha, that guy Danzo seemed to have completely vanished, with not a single whisper of news about him in the village.
He was likely hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries.
Shiraishi Yoshijo sat in the office and took out a cigarette to smoke.
He had only taken two puffs when the office door was kicked open.
Tsunade strode in.
Shiraishi Yoshijo felt helpless; Tsunade had a fiery temper and a poor attitude, and there was nothing he could do about her.
After all, in terms of background, Tsunade was even more formidable than he was.
"Shiraishi Yoshijo, a patient has arrived."
"Tsunade, are you looking for trouble on purpose? If a patient is here, can't you treat them yourself? Why must you come to me, the captain?"
"What did you say? Don't think that just because you're the captain, you can act all high and mighty. Let me tell you, someone without real skill will be kicked out of here sooner or later."
Tsunade slammed her fist onto the desk, and cracks instantly appeared on the surface.
Shiraishi Yoshijo stood up helplessly: "Fine, fine, fine, say whatever you want. It's just talk, anyway."
Upon arriving at the ward, Shiraishi Yoshijo saw the patient, along with two medical ninja who were currently treating him.
There was a long, shocking gash across the patient's chest and abdomen, with the flesh curled outward.
"Captain, this person was just brought in. He was slashed by a blade like this. If we don't treat him immediately, he might be in mortal danger."
Seeing him arrive, the two medical ninja explained the situation and stepped aside to make room.
Tsunade stood to the side with her arms crossed, her gaze filled with scrutiny.
Shiraishi Yoshijo sighed and extended a finger, pressing it against the wound.
The green light characteristic of medical Ninjutsu glowed at his fingertip.
He slowly slid his finger along the length of the wound.
Two minutes later, Shiraishi Yoshijo retracted his finger and said, "Done."
The patient touched his wound, his face full of surprise: "It's already healed?"
As he spoke, he tried to get off the bed, but immediately collapsed to the floor.
The two medical ninja hurriedly helped him up.
"Don't get excited. The wound is healed, but your body will be in a weakened state for a few days. Just stay in the hospital for a few days and you'll be fine."
After saying this, Shiraishi Yoshijo shot Tsunade a glare and turned to leave.
Seeing that he had healed the patient just by sliding his finger across the wound, Tsunade was stunned.
What kind of medical Ninjutsu was that?
It was a type she had never seen before.
After Shiraishi Yoshijo left, she hurriedly stepped forward to examine the patient.
After a flurry of activity, Tsunade stared at the medical report in her hands, lost in thought.
The medical Ninjutsu Shiraishi Yoshijo used was undoubtedly extremely fast-acting.
However, the patient's body was now incredibly weak.
She knew that after sustaining the blade wound, this patient had run to the hospital on his own, but now, let alone running, he would likely struggle to even take two steps.
Overdrawing the patient's vitality to accelerate healing?
Tsunade pushed open the door to Shiraishi Yoshijo's office once again.
"What kind of medical Ninjutsu did you use?"
Shiraishi Yoshijo lit a cigarette, took a comfortable puff, and retorted, "Why should I tell you?"
What a bastard!
Tsunade smashed the office door into splinters with a single punch.
The cigarette in Shiraishi Yoshijo's hand dropped to the floor.
This woman was simply too arrogant!
Some people who had rushed over after hearing the commotion kept their mouths shut, not daring to make a sound.
The new Medical Team leader versus the Hokage's disciple.
Front-row seats for the drama.
Shiraishi Yoshijo suppressed the urge to fight back and left the hospital with a blank expression.
Inside the Hokage's office, Shiraishi Yoshijo began to list Tsunade's offenses.
Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his pipe, a look of helplessness on his face.
If he could control Tsunade, her temper wouldn't be this explosive.
"Yoshijo, you go back first. I'll call Tsunade over in a moment."
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could finish his sentence, the door to the Hokage's office was kicked open.
Tsunade walked in, followed by Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
The pipe in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand clattered onto the desk.
Tsunade: "No need to call; I'm already here."
The corners of Orochimaru's mouth curled into a smile: "It seems something very interesting has happened."
Jiraiya wore a wicked grin: "Do you need us to help you mediate?"
Seeing the three of them walk in together, Shiraishi Yoshijo understood.
Were these three teaming up to deliberately pick a fight?
Even without the matter regarding that patient, Tsunade would likely have found another excuse to lose her temper.
Shiraishi Yoshijo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a dark face; the moment Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, he felt uneasy under Shiraishi Yoshijo's gaze.
"Tsunade, you really need to change your temper. Yoshijo has only been there for one day and you've already caused such a scene! What will others think!"
"Let them think whatever they want!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a massive headache coming on.
"What exactly do you want?"
A smile appeared on Tsunade's face. After secretly exchanging glances with her two companions, she quickly said: "Even if his level of Medical Ninjutsu is high, I will never acknowledge a guy like him."
"If you want me to acknowledge him, he has to show me his strength!"
Shiraishi Yoshijo had black lines all over his head. Who spoiled her into having this bad habit of wanting to fight without saying a word?
Is this the beating one must endure when moving from the shadows to the light?
These three guys were simply his nemeses.
Back in the Ninja Academy, they pinned him down and beat him, and even now, they still wanted to pin him down and beat him.
He was truly being looked down upon!
Thinking of this, Shiraishi Yoshijo completely lost his temper and said expressionlessly, "Follow me!"
Hearing Shiraishi Yoshijo agree, Hiruzen Sarutobi's headache worsened.
He also roughly understood that the relationship between his three disciples and Shiraishi Yoshijo was a bit delicate.
Shiraishi Yoshijo, who had been a dead last since childhood, couldn't even compare to Jiraiya.
Suddenly, one day, this dead last became his superior; it would be strange if someone like Tsunade didn't go crazy.
Moreover, what he said yesterday implicitly meant that Tsunade couldn't compare to Shiraishi Yoshijo.
If Tsunade didn't take this opportunity to teach Shiraishi Yoshijo a lesson, she wouldn't be Tsunade.
Adding fuel to the fire!
