"Hey! You little rascal Meikyō, how about you become my apprentice?"
"Huh? Aren't I already one?"
Tsunade took off her medical gloves and turned her head to look at Meikyō.
"To be precise, you are Dan's disciple. Although Dan and I are husband and wife, and you have learned some basic Medical Ninjutsu from me, you can only be considered half of my disciple. However, I have now discovered that you actually have a lot of talent for being Medical Ninja."
"Of course I would! Teacher Tsunade!"
How could Meikyō possibly refuse? She immediately changed her mind.
"By the way, Teacher Tsunade, I actually have some questions about Ninjutsu that I'd like to ask you!"
"Oh? Go ahead and tell me?"
Tsunade plopped down in the chair, crossed her legs, and her chest heaved.
Her current figure is no different from what it will be in the future; everything that should be big is big.
"It's like this, I've recently been learning the unique Ninjutsu of my great-uncle, Kagami Uchiha, who is also your Teacher Tsunade Tsunade- Mirror Body Flicker Technique. It's a Ninjutsu derived from the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it also requires mastering prerequisite Ninjutsu like the Summoning Technique and a certain level of Sealing Technique. Coincidentally, the Summoning Technique of the Konoha Sannin is very famous, so..."
"I see!"
Tsunade on the table and summoned Katsuyu again.
This time, the Katsuyu also brought with it a Summoning Scroll.
"Lady Tsunade, is there anything else you need?"
"The Katsuyu asked in a sweet voice."
"This is my disciple Uchiha Meikyō, who signed Summoning Contract with you."
The Katsuyu glanced curiously at the Meikyō.
Uchiha!
Her first two contract partners were from the Senju Clan, but now she's going to sign Summoning Contract with the Uchiha.
However, she will do whatever Tsunade says.
"Then, Lord Meikyō, all you need to do is write your name in blood on this Summoning Scroll."
The Katsuyu pushed the Summoning Scroll in front of the Meikyō.
"Thank you very much, Senior Katsuyu."
Meikyō reached out and unfolded the Summoning Scroll.
The last two names on the scroll were Hashirama Senju and Tsunade before them.
With a snap, Meikyō bit his index finger and wrote his name on the scroll.
"Then, Lord Meikyō, from now on, whenever you need me, you can summon me using the Summoning Technique. Lady Tsunade, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
"Go ahead!" Tsunade casually.
"Meikyō, the Summoning Technique isn't difficult. You can figure it out a bit when you get back. As for the Mirror Clone you want to learn, I have two more suitable people to recommend to you."
"Is Teacher Tsunade referring to Minato and Kushina?"
If there's anyone in Konoha more suitable than Tsunade to guide me in Space-Time Ninjutsu and Sealing Technique, then it's only these two.
"That's right."
Tsunade nodded in response without hesitation.
"Kushina and I both inherited Mito's grandmother's Sealing Technique, but her Sealing Technique skills far surpass mine. As for Minato, after the last Shinobi World War, Jiraiya used his own merits to exchange for Minato's opportunity to learn the Ninjutsu in the Scroll of Seals. Now Minato has already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. If you want to learn the Mirror Body Flicker Technique, they are the people who can give you the greatest help. And I remember, you and Minato have a good relationship, right? They will definitely be happy to help you."
"Yes, Teacher Tsunade, in fact, I also plan to go see Minato and the others after visiting you."
Meikyō also believed that Minato Namikaze and Kushina were indeed the most suitable people to help him learn this Ninjutsu.
"By the way! Do you have any money on you?"
Tsunade suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes secretly glanced at Meikyō's Ninja Tool Pouch.
Ninjas usually like to keep their wallets in this place.
And Meikyō is no exception.
"Uh... I left in a hurry and only brought a little over 300,000 taels with me..."
"Only three hundred thousand taels?"
Tsunade was somewhat disappointed.
That little bit of money isn't even enough for her to play for half a day.
"Here! Consider it tuition and your uncle's medical expenses. Take it! I won't treat you unfairly. This scroll contains training methods for some relatively advanced Medical Ninjutsu."
Tsunade magically produced another scroll.
Actually, this is a textbook used to train high-level Medical Ninja. It records advanced Medical Ninjutsu such as Mystical Palm Technique, Chakra Scalpel, and Art of the Mystical Palm. However, only a small portion of the Medical Ninja in Konoha can use it.
Anyone who can Mystical Palm Technique is already an exceptionally skilled Medical Ninja.
"Thank you, Teacher Tsunade!"
With a beaming smile, Meikyō handed the money and wallet to Tsunade.
If one is injured after a battle, having excellent Medical Ninjutsu skills would undoubtedly greatly increase one's survival ability.
Uchiha Tatsu recovered very quickly.
When I woke up that afternoon, the effects of the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, and I felt a little groggy. But by the next day, I had fully recovered.
"Hiss—whoosh—!"
Early morning, at the training grounds within the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Uchiha Tatsu took a deep breath as he faced the rising sun.
He felt an unprecedented sense of ease, both physically and mentally.
Having never had any ninja talent since childhood, this was his first time at the training ground.
The reason, of course, is that Uchiha Shisui was undergoing basic ninja training with Uchiha Yu in the center of the training ground.
"This is wonderful..."
Meanwhile, in another corner of Konoha,
Meikyō bought some seasonal fruit as a gift and then headed to the Minato house.
"Minato- senpai, are you home?"
Meikyō knocked on the door and heard a flurry of sounds inside, with a woman's voice faintly mixed in.
However, the gate was soon pushed open by Minato Namikaze.
"Ah, it's Meikyō! What a coincidence, Kushina came to visit me on the same day!"
Minato Namikaze's face was still flushed. He scratched his head sheepishly and stammered.
Visit?
Kushina probably spent the whole night visiting you, didn't she?
"Just a visit? I thought you and Minato were already living together, Kushina."
Meikyō said with a teasing expression, while handing over a bag of fruit.
Strawberries and bananas perfectly match Minato and Kushina's hair colors.
Minato Namikaze blushed.
Could it be that the whole village knows about his affair with Kushina?
"Thank you for your kindness, Meikyō. Please come in!"
Minato Namikaze stepped aside and welcomed Meikyō in.
In the living room, Kushina warmly served fruits and tea, acting as if she were the lady of the house.
Minato Namikaze Kushina was full of doting affection and tenderness.
Meikyō was used to this— Tsunade and Kato Dan often did the same.
"Actually, I came here because I have some questions I'd like to ask Minato and Kushina."
Meikyō explained his purpose to Minato Namikaze and Kushina.
