Special CG?

Akiyama Shun discovered that Tsunade was truly someone who stood on no ceremony.

After he helped Tsunade win money gambling last time, she really did as she said while drunk; every time she was short on cash, she would come to find him and ask him to help her get some money for gambling.

Later, as the frequency increased, Shizune found out and gave her a lecture.

After that, Tsunade became much quieter; at the very least, she wouldn't come to find him openly, only doing so by deliberately avoiding Shizune.

In just one month, one-third of all the casinos in Konoha had been bled dry by Akiyama Shun!

Within the Konoha gambling scene, the moniker "God of Gamblers of Konoha" even began to circulate.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally aware of all this.

However, he didn't say much about it. Setting aside the matter of Tsunade's status, there was also the fact that while Akiyama Shun was helping Tsunade gamble, his own grades hadn't slipped at all.

He remained at the top of the class!

From the time Akiyama Shun entered the academy until now, it had been four months in total!

He had swept every single first-place ranking in the Ninja Academy!

For a student like this, what was wrong with having a few small hobbies? Could a person not relax a little?

Besides, the person she was playing with was one of the Sannin, Tsunade!

This was a good thing!

At Tsunade's home at this moment.

Akiyama Shun carried a large bag of money and set it down at the doorway.

"Lady Tsunade, I've brought you some more money. Try to lose it slowly; I gave you three million last time, and you lost it all in the time it took me to go out for a meal."

Akiyama Shun sighed. He had thought Tsunade would lose quickly, but he hadn't expected it to be this fast.

However, this time after Akiyama Shun finished speaking, Tsunade didn't immediately rush out to hug him in gratitude, then grab the money and run off in a flash while saying, "This time will definitely be different."

Instead, she appeared very anxious. After casually throwing on a green coat, she said to Akiyama Shun, "You brat, you've come at the right time. Hurry and come with me!"

"Are you dodging debts? I've already helped you pay off all the ones in the vicinity."

Akiyama Shun looked at Tsunade calmly.

Hearing Akiyama Shun's tone, Tsunade clenched her fists and glared at him: "You brat! In your eyes, is everything I do related to gambling?"

"Isn't it?"

Looking at the utter lack of trust on Akiyama Shun's youthful face, Tsunade couldn't hold it together anymore.

"There are too many wounded in the hospital lately, and we're overwhelmed. I'm going to help out, and Shizune has already gone. You come along and lend a hand too!"

!

Akiyama Shun had originally thought that building a relationship with Tsunade would take a lot of time and slow grinding; he hadn't expected to accidentally trigger a favorability-boosting plot!

Hiss~

Why does this feel so much like playing a galgame, where you trigger a special scene once your favorability reaches a certain level?

Will there be some kind of special CG later?

While Akiyama Shun was lost in his wild thoughts, the two had already arrived at the hospital entrance.

With Tsunade leading the way, the path was completely unobstructed. Even in some of the intensive care units, no one stopped Akiyama Shun, a mere child.

Although the hospital staff didn't recognize him, they recognized Tsunade. Their logic was simple: anyone following Tsunade must be fine!

Tsunade led Akiyama Shun straight to the roof of the hospital. Standing at the door of a ward, Tsunade's expression changed instantly; she was no longer her usual boisterous self, but filled with seriousness, before she gently pushed the door open.

Inside the ward, many nurses were gathered, tending to three patients on the beds.

At this moment, these three patients were emitting painful groans, their entire bodies wrapped up like mummies.

"Lady Tsunade! You're finally here! It's not just these three; there are several others with injuries similar to theirs. Our medical skills aren't enough, and we don't dare treat them lightly. The few who know the Mystical Palm Technique are still busy elsewhere!"

A young nurse saw Tsunade arrive and hurriedly began reporting the situation.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade didn't have time to say anything else. She quickly stepped forward and began using the Mystical Palm Technique, pressing her two palms, which were emitting a green glow, onto two of the patients to begin treating their wounds.

Akiyama Shun watched Tsunade's expression from the side; it was filled with worry.

This worry wasn't just for the two patients, but even more so for herself.

The current Tsunade suffered from hemophobia due to the deaths of Nawaki and Kato Dan. Even seeing a small amount of blood would leave her unable to think and cause her to lose the ability to act.

In the original story, Kabuto, who was an elite jonin at the time, relied on slicing his own palm to put Tsunade into a state of forced paralysis before knocking her away with a punch.

The three people on the beds were currently wrapped like mummies, so there was no need to worry about touching blood for the moment, but what about later?

There were so many severely injured people in the hospital; it was impossible for every single one of them to be bloodless. As long as any one of them bled, Tsunade would be unable to act for a period of time.

However, this was just right.

Unequip [Uchiha Itachi (Ninja Prodigy)]!

Deploy [Yakushi Nonō]!

"Lady Tsunade, do you need my help?"

Hearing Akiyama Shun's voice, Tsunade turned her head to look at him: "I almost forgot about you, kid. Go find Shizune; she should be busy handling bandages and treating wounds. She'll tell you what to do!"

"No, Lady Tsunade, that's not what I meant..."

As he spoke, Akiyama Shun raised his right hand, and green chakra enveloped his palm.

"Mystical Palm Technique!?"

Even someone as experienced as Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Akiyama Shun perform the Mystical Palm Technique.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade understood better than anyone the difficulty of learning the Mystical Palm Technique—this was an A-rank medical ninjutsu!

Even among the most gifted medical ninjas Tsunade had ever seen, it took years for them to master the Mystical Palm Technique!

How old was Akiyama Shun?

Five?

Even if he had incredible medical talent and learned it in two years, when would he have started learning?

Three?

Are you kidding me!

This wasn't even a question of whether he should have learned it; the problem was that even if Akiyama Shun wanted to learn it, there was no one to teach him!

What powerful medical ninja would go out of their way to teach an A-rank medical ninjutsu to a three-year-old child?

"Who did you learn this from?"

"Lady Tsunade," Akiyama Shun replied calmly.

"Me?"

Hearing Akiyama Shun's answer, Tsunade was filled with confusion. Ever since she had known Akiyama Shun, she had been chasing him for money.

How could she not remember ever teaching him any ninjutsu?

"Yes, aren't you using the Mystical Palm Technique right now?"

Akiyama Shun nodded, answering as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"..."

Tsunade fell silent.

Shizune often told her how terrifying Akiyama Shun's talent was, and she was somewhat aware of it herself.

The previous feats, like his shurikenjutsu, were impressive for someone who hadn't trained, proving he was a genius, but medical ninjutsu was different!

The difficulty of the two was not even in the same league!

Wait!

Shizune had also told her that this brat could perform the Shadow Clone Technique!

At the time, she just assumed Shizune had misidentified it, mistaking a basic Clone Technique for a Shadow Clone Technique, but now it seemed...

Tsunade's mind was in chaos, but the hospital was too busy at the moment, so she had to force herself to stop thinking about these questions.

"Since that's the case, go help with the treatments elsewhere first. I'll have someone who knows the Chakra Scalpel come to assist you later. She will handle the debris in the wounds, and you will repair the tissue."

"No need to trouble yourself, Lady Tsunade, I can do that too."

As he spoke, Akiyama Shun raised his other hand, and a blue Chakra Scalpel enveloped his palm.

"...I didn't use the Chakra Scalpel just now."

"I know. When you brought me here, didn't we pass by some wards? I saw some of the older sisters using this ninjutsu."

"..."
