Chapter 1: Injured at the Start? Tsunade Appears!

"Where is this?"

Ye Chen opened his eyes to see a spacious white tent.

He tried to sit up, only to find that even such a simple movement was beyond him; the slightest motion sent waves of intense pain through his entire body.

He slowly closed his eyes again, but fortunately, his consciousness remained clear.

Just then, memories that did not belong to him began to flood into Ye Chen's mind.

I actually transmigrated into the Naruto World?

Ye Chen was naturally familiar with the Naruto World.

It was a world of ninjas, filled with various elemental ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu...

The original owner of this body was named Uchiha Chen, a fifteen-year-old ordinary chunin from the Uchiha clan who had been ambushed during the Third Shinobi World War.

Fortunately, members of the Uchiha clan had found him clinging to life in a pile of corpses and rescued him, keeping him alive through the constant treatment of medical ninjas.

As for his parents, they had both lost their lives in this same war.

However, just moments ago, Uchiha Chen had finally breathed his last, reuniting with his parents and leaving this body for the transmigrated Ye Chen.

So that's it. No wonder this body is so weak!

Wait, is my life force still draining away?

Damn it! I'm not going to die the moment I've been reborn here, am I?

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ye Chen felt a tremor in his heart and couldn't help but grow anxious.

Just then, an anxious voice sounded from outside the tent, though it carried a tone of apology.

"Lady Tsunade, I truly hate to trouble you, but this child's injuries are simply too severe. I am truly powerless..."

Thanks to the original owner's memories, Ye Chen recognized the speaker as Skui, the squad leader of the Konoha Medical Emergency Squad, who had been on good terms with Uchiha Chen.

Tsunade? One of the Legendary Sannin?

The image of Tsunade from the anime he had watched in his past life surfaced in Ye Chen's mind.

If it's her, then I might be saved!

"No need for formalities. Let me take a look at the child's injuries first."

Tsunade nodded with a calm expression; she had seen many similar cases.

As Skui lifted the tent flap, the two of them walked inside.

Upon entering the tent, Tsunade caught sight of a pale yet handsome face. Although the boy had lost his healthy glow due to his injuries, it could not hide his striking features.

Fortunately, the wounds on Uchiha Chen's body had already been treated, and there was no more bleeding.

Tsunade let out a sigh of relief, walked to the bedside, and placed her hand on Uchiha Chen's abdomen. Chakra flowed through her palm, instantly permeating his entire body.

Half a minute later, Tsunade withdrew her right hand and looked at Skui, saying expressionlessly, "Skui, you can take him to your place tonight. This child is beyond saving."

Skui was also responsible for overseeing the remains of fallen ninjas.

"Ah! Lady Tsunade..."

Skui's body trembled. She had never imagined that even Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, would be unable to save this child!

"Give it up, Skui."

Watching Skui's reaction, she naturally understood the mindset of a medical ninja, but having experienced many wars, she had long since become indifferent to life and death. Such a situation could hardly stir a ripple in her heart.

After dropping those words, Tsunade turned to leave.

"Lady Tsunade, please, try one more time! This child's parents died in battle not long ago, and now he... he isn't even sixteen yet! His life has only just begun!"

Hearing Skui's pleading voice, Tsunade's body stiffened, and she quietly pulled back the step she had already taken.

Turning to look at Skui's desperate expression, Tsunade couldn't help but think of her former self. Once upon a time, she had been just like her...

Tsunade let out a deep sigh.

"Very well, I will try one more time, but don't get your hopes up."

Although she agreed to try again, Tsunade knew in her heart that the child was beyond saving. His injuries were essentially a death sentence; the only reason he hadn't died yet was that his powerful ninja vitality was keeping him hanging by a thread.

"Thank you, thank you, Lady Tsunade!"

Skui's face lit up, and she showered her with words of gratitude.

Tsunade shook her head, said nothing more, and returned to Uchiha Chen's side. She formed hand seals, and a circular green light bloomed between her palms.

Immediately, Tsunade placed her hands on Uchiha Chen's abdomen, and chakra once again flooded his limbs and bones, continuously stimulating the activity of his cells.

The technique Tsunade was performing was the A-rank medical ninjutsu, the Mystical Palm Technique.

Ten minutes later, Tsunade sighed inwardly. The result was exactly as she had expected: the child's condition had not improved at all. Just as she was about to withdraw her hands, Suddenly, a burst of green light erupted, instantly illuminating the entire tent.

To be precise, the entire tent was filled with green light!

Lady Tsunade was stunned. She looked down at Uchiha Chen, for the green light radiating at this moment was coming from none other than him!

This green light was something Lady Tsunade was intimately familiar with; it was the Mystical Palm Technique!

This child was in a comatose state, yet he was actually able to cast the Mystical Palm Technique on himself?

"Lady Tsunade, this... what is going on?"

Skui was also startled by this sudden change.

"Don't be hasty. Let's observe a little longer; it seems... there has been a turn for the better!"

Lady Tsunade's gaze was intense as she spoke in a low voice, simultaneously increasing the output of chakra from her hands.

"Understood."

Skui nodded and stepped aside.

After a long while, the green light finally dissipated. The very second it faded, a powerful vitality erupted from Uchiha Chen's body, and the chakra within him actually began to resonate with Lady Tsunade's Mystical Palm Technique.

The wounds on Uchiha Chen's body that had long refused to heal were now visibly beginning to recover and close up!

How could he possess such terrifying self-healing abilities? A self-healing ability this monstrous... I'm afraid only Grandfather could achieve this, right?

Lady Tsunade's light red lips parted wide in astonishment, remaining agape for a long time.

Her heart was filled with confusion. How did this child reach such a level? Could it be that this child possessed Grandfather's chakra, or perhaps Grandfather's genes?

Could this person be a successor to Grandfather?

But soon, Lady Tsunade dismissed this thought; it was clearly impossible.

Suddenly, another possibility struck her. Could it be that this child, or perhaps the Uchiha clan, had stolen Grandfather's cells?

If that were the case, then this matter had to be taken seriously. Perhaps there was some unknown conspiracy hidden within it!

Lady Tsunade narrowed her eyes and began to carefully examine Uchiha Chen's body, attempting to uncover the true cause.
