Shizune looked ready to cry.
Chapter 338: Just a Drop of Blood
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing Side Quest Two! As Yin's junior apprentice, how could you stand by and watch his student tempt him? Tell Uchiha Yin loud and clear that you'll become a woman like Tsunade-sensei! Quest complete. Reward: Medical Ninjutsu +1, Poison Use Technique +1."
As the voice sounded in her mind, Shizune felt her understanding of Medical Ninjutsu rise to a new level.
At the same time, her understanding of poison deepened.
Tsunade was different. Aside from Ninjutsu such as the Yin Seal, which let her recover rapidly, most of her Medical Ninjutsu focused on treating injured Ninja.
As for poison, Tsunade had never studied it in depth.
She had, however, researched antidotes extensively.
That made sense. With Tsunade's strength, Monster Strength Taijutsu was all she needed to attack. Poison was merely an aid to offense, and she had little use for it.
Shizune was different.
She had little talent for Monster Strength Taijutsu and rarely used techniques like Monster Strength Fist. Instead, she used poison to support her attacks in a way that suited her.
Now that her understanding of both Medical Ninjutsu and Poison Technique had improved, Shizune should have been delighted.
But there was little joy on her face. Instead, she looked ready to cry.
If Shizune had introduced herself first, there would have been nothing wrong with what she said.
Plenty of girls dreamed of becoming like Tsunade. Nearly every girl who wanted to become a Medical Ninja looked up to her.
Rin had even planned to say she wanted to become someone like Tsunade.
But Shizune had said it after Kurenai and Rin.
That changed everything.
Especially the part about becoming a woman like Tsunade-sensei.
An ordinary Ninja would usually say
