Medical Ninja

"Ah--"

Nawaki opened his mouth wide as Eiji scooped up a spoonful of golden rice and fed it to him. Nawaki immediately showed a satisfied and happy expression.

"Mmm~ Delicious! This is definitely something you have to eat on the battlefield! The beans I ate when I first arrived at camp yesterday were awful!"

"Tsk, this is special treatment for you. If you go around telling everyone, people will spit on you."

Eiji rolled his eyes at Nawaki. He'd only just arrived at the battlefield and already had to cook for this guy. Seriously.

Because of his recent recovery from a serious Nawaki, according to him, although his physical injuries had healed, the sadness in his heart could not be cured. Therefore, he needed to rest on the Frontline for a while and even begged Eiji to cook for him.

What's worse is that this bastard doesn't even want to hold his own bowl; he insists on being fed by himself.

For a moment, Eiji wanted to stick a chopstick up his nose to wake him up, but then he remembered that this guy had just escaped death and might want to vent his pent-up emotions, Eiji didn't bother with him.

"But Eiji, we really owe you a lot this time. I heard that even Tsunade couldn't help. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be reporting to Hell by now, right?"

"You have the nerve to say that? I told you so many times to watch your step, and what did you do?"

"Uh... it was my mistake this time, it won't happen again."

Eiji rolled her eyes at him. "You want a next time? This is over."

Tsunade has already explained it to him; tomorrow, Eiji will take Tsunade and Nawaki back to Konoha using the Azure Flight technique.

She had already made up her mind to raise Nawaki as a rich young master. Continuing to let him be Ninja would only lead to his death in vain. It would be better to let him get married and have children to continue the Senju lineage.

As for Tsunade herself, according to her, she wants to return to the village to make an important application, perhaps related to the proposal in the original work to train Medical Ninja.

I remember that not long after Nawaki died, Tsunade returned to the Village and brought this up, but no one expressed their opinion, except for Kato Dan who stood up to express his support.

Their relationship quickly blossomed, and Tsunade gave him the Death Necklace, which led to Kato Dan's swift death, leaving Tsunade with a deep psychological scar.

"Eiji, I've decided, if I have a child in the future, I'll make him recognize you as his godfather!"

"Tsk, this seems like a lot of trouble." Eiji rolled his eyes at Nawaki. "You're not thinking of using the child as an excuse to come to my house for meals all the time, are you?"

Seeing that Eiji was unhappy, Nawaki started his relentless pestering.

Later, she clung to Eiji's waist and wouldn't let go. Unable to resist her persistent pleading, Eiji had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

I have a feeling this guy just wants to freeload.

So, my dear child, do you think your Future child will have white or red hair?

After settling things with the Nawaki, Eiji strolled leisurely through the Konoha camp.

Upon seeing Eiji, many Konoha Ninja began to turn their gazes in his direction.

Many of the Ninja here have been stationed on the border of the Land of Fire for more than half a year, and none of them witnessed what happened in the Village.

Many people were astonished upon seeing those Azure eyes.

Although I hadn't witnessed it firsthand, I had long heard of the name "Eyes of the Blue Sky".

"I'm saying, could he be the one with the Eye of the Azure Sky? I heard he was the one who killed the Raikage when Konoha was attacked by the Hidden Cloud Ninja."

"Show some respect! How can you talk like that? That's Eiji! You didn't see how powerful Eiji was back then. The Third Raikage was as weak as an ant in front of him!"

"Really?"

"Not only that, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, Eiji will succeed the Lord Third as the Fourth Hokage."

Eiji didn't pay much attention to their discussion and walked straight towards the Medical Camp.

The Medical Ninja who had just finished their rotation at the Medical Camp were still talking about Eiji's morning exploits, praising his ingenious methods in healing Nawaki, whose internal organs had been blown off. When they saw Eiji return, they all showed expressions of respect and fervor.

"Eiji, is there anything you need me to do?"

A middle-aged female ninja with black hair stepped forward and asked; she seemed to be the current leader here.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to check on the tents. There must be quite a few wounded here, let me take a look."

Hearing Eiji's words, everyone present showed joy, because the Ninja sent back from the Frontline were either missing limbs or suffering from severe poisoning, so...

"Hurry up! You over there, can't you even bandage yourself properly?"

As soon as Eiji entered the tent, he saw Tsunade anxiously healing a wounded person with her Mystical Palm Technique. The only sounds in the entire Medical Tent, besides the groans of the wounded, were Tsunade's loudest voice.

Seeing the Medical Ninja bustling around like ants, Eiji moved closer to Tsunade.

"Who is it now? Didn't I tell you I'm busy? If you don't know how to do basic care, then stand aside and learn properly--"

Seemingly sensing something was wrong, Tsunade to look and saw Eiji behind her with surprise.

"Eiji, what are you doing here?"

"Nawaki fell asleep after he'd had his fill of fussing, so I came here to see if I could help."

"Great! We need your help here. Please take care of things here while I go deal with something more troublesome!"

Tsunade didn't stand on ceremony with Eiji, since his Mystical Palm Technique was already up to par, not to mention the even more powerful Ninjutsu that could restore Organs and limbs.

Looking at the male Ninja in front of him who had lost a leg, Eiji raised an eyebrow.

"So, how did you get injured?"

"Ouch... that hurts...! I stepped on Explosive Tag..."

Eiji felt he would have a lot to talk about with Nawaki, but this guy was in a much better situation than Nawaki, having only lost a leg.

Without saying much, he placed his hand on the man's body and began to activate the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Then, to the Ninja's astonishment, his thigh grew bone at a visible speed, muscles began to proliferate, and finally even his feet grew perfectly.

I calculated the time; it only took a little over a minute to completely heal his thigh.

I feel like I'm getting more and more proficient. Although my initial Binding Vow was to master the skill immediately, I feel like I can still improve with repeated practice.

Hearing the person exclaim and express their gratitude profusely, Eiji simply told him to be more careful in the future.

Orochimaru is right; a single Explosive Tag can take the life of a Ninja.

Such lives are too fragile; Eiji came here to help to ease his mind.

But as Ninja, being too indecisive is not a good thing.
