Just Give Me Three Seconds...

"Human Desire Stimulant..."

Hyuga Wuye could barely control his hands.

The refrigerator door opened and closed, and the transparent potion appeared in his hand.

A strange expression surfaced on his face. "Something like this actually exists. So the red-light district is for ninjas to indulge themselves, and this is for treating excessive indulgence... Then..."

Hyuga Wuye's expression flickered between light and shadow.

He had to admit that a very bad idea had occurred to him.

He knew he shouldn't think that way, but human nature drove him to do it anyway.

Like an abyss filled with temptation, he could not help wanting to jump in.

Especially now that he held such a potion in his hand.

"If something happened, then even with the age difference, she wouldn't be able to simply see me as her disciple anymore. The hardest crack to open would be torn apart..."

"After that, things could develop steadily, and I wouldn't have to worry about Kato Dan stealing her away in the future..."

Smack!

All of a sudden, Hyuga Wuye raised his hand and viciously slapped his handsome face.

"Even if I really am a bastard who likes flirting, I still need to keep my bottom line..."

His right cheek visibly reddened and swelled.

After all, he was a ninja. His strength far exceeded that of an ordinary adult.

Hyuga Wuye had never thought of himself as a particularly virtuous person, nor did he want to become a saint like Nawaki or Naruto.

Having a decent character and a bottom line, not taking the initiative to harm others—that was all he demanded of himself.

"I should put it back..."

He shook his head and walked back to the refrigerator with the potion.

Bang!

At that moment, the door to the archives room was suddenly slammed open.

Tsunade appeared in the doorway, startling Wuye so badly that he quickly shoved the potion in his hand into his pocket.

"Hahaha! I've cracked Sand Village's latest poison!"

With her hands on her hips, Tsunade laughed heartily. "Wuye, come on! Let's celebrate with drinks!"

Hyuga Wuye feigned calm. "I'll tidy up these messy notes and be right there."

Just give me three seconds, three seconds!

I can put that mysterious potion back...

"No need to clean up. It was already pretty messy."

Before he could finish, Tsunade hooked an arm around Wuye's neck and dragged him out the door. "Let's go, let's go! We're drinking together today! My treat!"

"I'm still underage!"

Wuye flailed his arms, trying to struggle free.

"I'm not asking you to drink." Tsunade chuckled in his ear. "I can never drink to my heart's content. With you around, at least I won't have to worry about no one taking me home if I get drunk today."

"So I'm a tool."

By the time Wuye realized this truth, he had already been hauled outside, along with the special potion in his pocket...

"Wow! What a pretty boy! Kawaii!"

"Lady Tsunade, is this the disciple you took in?"

"I think I could squish his cheeks for a whole year! I really could!"

"..."

Hyuga Wuye had initially greeted the female doctors politely, but within moments, several hands reached toward him from every direction.

Some pinched his cheeks, some patted his head, and someone even squeezed his butt...

Slap! Slap! Slap!

He had no choice but to spin around and swat all those hands away before darting behind Tsunade. Still shaken, he patted his chest. "Teacher, they're terrifying!"

"Hahaha..."

The group of female doctors burst into laughter.

"All right, all right, he's still just a child."

Tsunade waved a hand and walked out of Konoha Hospital with an arm around Wuye's neck.

The female doctors hurried after her, gathering around her as cheerful laughter and chatter followed them all the way.

It was clear that they were very close with Tsunade. By extension, they were relaxed around Wuye too, speaking and acting casually.

They went to Torifu Barbecue again. Tsunade led them straight into a private room, slapped the table, and declared, "Sake! I want sake! Ten cases!"

Once the barbecue was placed on the grill and the table was filled with sake, the women began drinking heavily.

Whether Tsunade had influenced them or not, every one of them enthusiastically slapped the table and urged others to drink.

Wuye could only grill the meat in silence...

When a group of women gathered together, even the shyest among them became bold. Meow Meow Novel

If he did not keep a low profile, they would rub him bald in minutes, especially as they grew increasingly drunk.

"Thanks to Lady Tsunade's precise analysis of the composition of Sand Village's poison, we were able to crack it in time," one female doctor said drunkenly as she drank. "Unfortunately, even if we prepare the antidote, it will take at least ten days to reach the border. Who knows how many ninjas will die because of that."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We're medical ninjas, and some of us are merely pharmacists. We can't possibly be stationed at the border," someone said. "Besides, without Lady Tsunade, we wouldn't have been able to crack it either."

The female doctor shook her head. "If medical ninjas could treat them in time, then even if they couldn't cure the poison, they could hold on until the antidote was developed, greatly increasing their chances of survival."

"I've already proposed to the higher-ups that we establish dedicated border hospitals. The special funding has been approved, and it will be implemented soon," Tsunade suddenly said as she set down her cup.

"That's wonderful! The casualty rate among ninjas will be greatly reduced!" The female doctors were thrilled.

"Why not assign a medical ninja to every ninja squad?"

At that moment, Wuye spoke up in confusion. "Wouldn't that be more effective than building border hospitals?"

The surroundings fell quiet for a moment, then the female doctors began shaking their heads with smiles. "It can't be done."

The medical ninja system that Tsunade would strongly promote in the future did not yet exist.

Hyuga Wuye wanted to know what the difficulties were. Perhaps he could help Tsunade fulfill her wish ahead of time.

"Assigning a medical ninja to every squad truly is the best solution. Not only would it allow for timely treatment, it would also ensure that ninja squads could continue carrying out missions," Tsunade said, shaking her head. "Unfortunately, the biggest problem right now is that there simply aren't enough medical ninjas."

"Why?" Wuye asked curiously. "Is it because the Ninja Academy doesn't teach it?"

"Because it can't be taught. The concept of medical ninjas was only introduced to the ninja world recently. All known medical ninjutsu currently require extremely high talent, and ordinary ninjas can't learn them."

Tsunade suddenly tipped back her head and gulped down a large mouthful of sake, her tone filled with frustration. "I've spent years researching it, but I still haven't found a breakthrough. I don't know how to develop medical ninjutsu with learning difficulty at B-rank or even C-rank."

"I see..."

Only then did Hyuga Wuye understand why medical ninjas were so scarce. It seemed Tsunade had yet to develop low-level medical ninjutsu.

She would propose assigning a medical ninja to every squad after the Second Shinobi World War ended, roughly seven or eight years from now.

By then, she must have succeeded in developing it.

Perhaps he could use his analytical ability to help her develop it in advance?

Hyuga Wuye sank into thought.

"We finally cracked Sand Village's poison, so everyone, cheer up and drink as much as you want!"

Tsunade suddenly slapped the table and nearly climbed onto it. "Anyone who can still walk home tonight, don't blame me for being ruthless! Drink!"

Wuye came back to his senses and could only prop up his head while sipping fruit juice through a straw.

The happiness belongs to you all, while I can only watch your cups clink and your waves roll...
