The next day, Uchiha Yufeng left home.

He followed the locations marked in the Anbu documents.

He smoothly entered the Anbu organization's underground base.

The place was underground. Though it was lit, it still felt somewhat dim and desolate.

Here, masked Anbu ninja could be seen coming and going alone. Aside from footsteps, there was almost no other sound.

Judging by the fluctuations of Chakra around them, even the weakest were at Chunin level, and each carried a faint but discernible killing intent.

These people were the foundation of the Anbu.

As he continued inward, a ninja ahead spotted Uchiha Yufeng.

He quickly walked over and patted Uchiha Yufeng on the shoulder.

After gesturing for him to follow, he turned and entered a room on the left.

Uchiha Yufeng silently followed him inside.

The room was brightly lit.

The masked ninja took out a file from the drawer of the desk before him.

"Uchiha Yufeng?"

"Yes!"

"Your codename."

"Kaze!"

The ninja made a note in the file.

"This room is the Anbu members' changing room.

Every member has their own exclusive locker. This is the key to locker number 29. Anbu uniforms and several masks have already been placed inside for you. If anything doesn't fit, inform me."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Yufeng accepted the key and glanced toward the lockers beside him.

Each one was numbered. Judging by the sequence, his should be somewhere nearby.

"Once you leave the changing room, follow the path inward.

You'll find the mission posting and handover area, custom ninja tool workshop, Ninjutsu scroll storage room, and so on."

Uchiha Yufeng had not expected the Anbu facilities to be so comprehensive.

After listening carefully, he nodded.

"Understood!"

"Alright, that's about it. You're a reserve member, so your permissions will be more limited than those of official Anbu members.

But comparatively, you'll have more freedom. You only need to pass the Anbu assessment each week."

After explaining everything, the Anbu ninja left the room.

The assessment naturally referred to the number of missions completed each week.

Uchiha Yufeng glanced at the lockers, took his key, and walked over to his own locker, number 29.

With a click, he opened it.

Inside were brand-new Anbu clothes and masks.

They had clearly been placed there that morning.

Uchiha Yufeng did not hesitate. Since no one was around, he changed immediately and casually picked out a fox-shaped mask to put on.

Not bad. It fit quite well.

After leaving the changing room, Uchiha Yufeng first picked up some Shuriken and Kunai from the ninja tool area, then headed straight for the mission reception area.

"Codename!"

"Kaze!"

The ninja issuing missions found the information regarding Codename Kaze in the files.

"These are the missions you can accept!"

He pulled out several mission scrolls and pushed the rest toward Uchiha Yufeng.

Uchiha Yufeng opened the scrolls and examined them one by one.

When he saw a mission related to Tsunade, his eyes lit up.

"I'll take this mission!"

After registering the mission with the man, Uchiha Yufeng swiftly left the Anbu base.

At noon, outside Konoha Hospital.

Tsunade walked out with Kato Shizune.

"Lady Tsunade, are we leaving now?"

As Tsunade walked, she replied casually.

"Why stay? Konoha Hospital's system is already complete, and I've taught everything that needed teaching. With those Medical Ninja around, they're more than capable of training the next generation of Medical Ninja!"

Hearing this, Shizune carried her large suitcase and looked at Konoha Hospital with reluctance in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Shizune. If you want to come back, I'll bring you back. What's the big deal?"

Only after hearing Tsunade's reassurance did Shizune look away.

"The Ninja World is so vast. We should enjoy ourselves properly while we're young!"

Tsunade stretched, the curves of her chest rising and falling in a captivating sight.

"Hm?"

Tsunade suddenly paused.

"Anbu?"

Uchiha Yufeng, who had been hiding in the shadows, stepped out directly.

"By Lord Hokage's order, I am here to escort Lady Tsunade out."

Tsunade frowned as she sized Uchiha Yufeng up and down, a hint of amusement flashing through her eyes.

"That voice..."

Meanwhile, Shizune behind her froze upon hearing that familiar voice.

"Oh!"

Tsunade paid it no mind. She withdrew her gaze and had only taken two steps when she spoke again.

"Shizune, give your things to the Anbu. Aren't they here to escort people? They can carry your suitcase for you!"

"Ah, Lady Tsunade..."

Shizune had yet to recover her senses.

Ding! Senju Tobirama (Youth) Fragment +2.

"Yes!"

Uchiha Yufeng did not hesitate. He walked up to Shizune and took the suitcase.

Seeing the pair of eyes exposed beneath the mask, along with that jet-black hair—

Shizune's eyes widened.

"You're—"

Before Shizune could say it, Tsunade interrupted her.

"Shizune, stop dawdling. We should get going!"

"Yes!"

Shizune withdrew her gaze and went to Tsunade's side.

"Shizune, for the Mystical Palm Technique I taught you yesterday, the first step is to fully activate the cells in the wound. Do you remember?"

Shizune was bewildered.

Hadn't she only taught her how to precisely control Chakra yesterday?

The Mystical Palm Technique? Had she taught that yesterday?

Without waiting for Shizune to answer, Tsunade spoke again.

"And the practical application of the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, the amount of Chakra to inject... do you remember?"

Shizune was stunned.

Had Lady Tsunade taught her so much yesterday?

"And the sequence of hand seals for the Chakra Scalpel, the depth for cutting wounds, the specific figures—have you memorized them?"

"..."

Along the way, whenever no one was around—

Tsunade would begin discussing medical care and various Medical Ninjutsu.

From low-level Medical Ninjutsu to high-level Medical Ninjutsu, she covered every precaution, extension, and related detail.

Seeing Shizune's lifeless, soul-searching expression beside her, Tsunade smiled helplessly.

"Alright, that's about enough!"

After finishing the final Medical Ninjutsu, Tsunade looked back at Konoha's gates.

Then her gaze shifted to Uchiha Yufeng.

"Go back and tell the Third Hokage that if there's nothing urgent lately, he shouldn't come looking for me. I'm tired these days and don't want to be disturbed."

After saying that, the corners of her lips curved upward.

"Also, pass on a message to that brat Uchiha Yufeng. Tell him to practice Medical Ninjutsu properly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Yufeng heard the system notification again.

Ding! Senju Tobirama (Youth) Fragment +5.

Watching Tsunade's graceful figure turn away, Uchiha Yufeng knew that she had long seen through his identity. Otherwise, she would not have instructed him in so much Medical Ninjutsu along the way.

He silently removed his mask.

"Lady Tsunade, have a safe journey. I've remembered everything you taught."

Seeing Uchiha Yufeng's familiar face, Shizune's hand holding the suitcase trembled with excitement.

Though Shizune had already roughly guessed that this Anbu member was very likely Uchiha Yufeng

she was still excited when she truly saw his face.

A satisfied smile appeared on Tsunade's beautiful face. Without turning back, she gave a cold snort.

"Uchiha's annoying brat! Farewell!"
