I, Hu Hansan, am back again!

"Haha... Yuying! Don't take it to heart. They were just too excited. And Tsunade, honestly, how could she be so careless?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said, looking delighted. Tears glistened in Itō Yuying's eyes as he said shakily, "I think I can still be saved."

Then his head lolled to one side, and he passed out.

"Doctor! Doctor!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted. Half an hour later, the doctor emerged from the ward. "What's going on? Do you not want him to live? Good grief, you people are ruthless. If he dies in my hospital, I won't be responsible! And I won't stand for any troublemaking over his treatment!" Sarutobi Hiruzen bowed and scraped. "We were wrong... We were wrong... We'll definitely be more careful next time."

The doctor snorted coldly and left.

With a fawning smile, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw him out of the ward.

Over the next few days, visitors streamed endlessly into Itō Yuying's ward. After the incident with Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō watched over Itō Yuying even more carefully, letting no one touch him.

That night... Itō Yuying stared at the ceiling. Looks like I won't be discharged for at least six months.

"Sigh..." Then he silently took a Senzu Bean from a private part of his body, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly. At that moment, the system said, "You're eating that without washing it? And weren't you going to keep these things secret?"

Itō Yuying said slowly, "I can't worry about all that anymore. I can't take it. It hurts too much. I can't stand another minute. Do you know what these past few days have been like for me?"

"Keep this up, and little Ying will die."

This incident had made Itō Yuying realize that he could reveal some of his strength and expose a few secrets now. All of Konoha now knew that he was a genius among geniuses, as well as the Second Hokage's final disciple, beloved disciple, pampered disciple, and son-like disciple all rolled into one. His backer was powerful enough, and he felt he could hold on to that support.

While Itō Yuying's thoughts wandered, his body rapidly recovered as well. In less than a few breaths, he was completely healed.

"Whew..." Itō Yuying let out a deep breath, feeling that his life had reached its peak.

I can get a good night's sleep tonight. Then he drifted blissfully off to sleep! A clear liquid even trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Outside the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō exchanged a glance, surprise showing on both their faces. "Our junior brother's presence suddenly grew stronger just now. Looks like he intends to come clean with us." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly in response to Shimura Danzō's question.

The next day, the doctor came on his rounds to examine Itō Yuying.

"Huh, how strange. Yesterday he looked half-dead, so how is he completely recovered today? There's nothing wrong with his body at all. It's only been a few days!" His complete recovery left the doctor stroking his chin and frowning repeatedly, utterly puzzled.

"Could it be..."

The doctor abruptly raised his head, then said gravely to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō beside him, "Hurry and prepare his funeral arrangements! This could be the patient's final rally before death." Shimura Danzō's face instantly darkened. Quack! What a quack! Sarutobi Hiruzen covered his face with one hand as well, shaking his head without a word.

Itō Yuying was speechless on the bed too. Then he unleashed a burst of Ki, blasting apart his bandages and splints, before performing a backflip, a front flip, a left flip, and a right flip. Finally, he floated before everyone. "I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" Looking at the doctor, who had already collapsed onto the floor, and the dumbstruck Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō, Itō Yuying wore a wicked grin! "Doctor, your medical skills are amazing. You even made me so angry that I recovered. I'll come to you again next time." Then he said to Shimura Danzō and Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Thank you both for taking such good care of me these past few days, senior brothers. I won't forget it."

Hearing that, both men felt a stir in their hearts. It's in the bag. With Itō Yuying's promise, I'll have support when it comes to becoming Hokage. How wonderful.

"All right, I'm going to see Teacher. We can chat when there's time." Then he looked at the doctor again and said, "If my friend comes to visit, please tell that bowl-cut kid in the green bodysuit to wait for me at the usual place. Sorry for the trouble. I'm counting on you!" The doctor nodded blankly.

With a smile, Itō Yuying floated over to the window, ready to head for the Hokage Building. Only after he had flown far away did Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō come to their senses and chase after him. Seeing the two coming up from behind, Itō Yuying slowed down to wait, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō soon caught up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said enviously, "Junior Brother Yuying, you really are amazing! Heroes truly do emerge young!" "Haha, you flatter me, senior brother. I'm not that impressive. You're very impressive yourself. Your use of the five elemental release techniques is outstanding." While the two exchanged flattering compliments, Shimura Danzō beside them seethed with jealousy! My Vacuum Sphere is powerful too. Damn monkey, even sucking up to a child. I'm ashamed to associate with you. Then he said sourly, "We should hurry over to Teacher." Itō Yuying and Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped their mutual flattery as well.

Then the three rushed toward the Hokage Building.

Tobirama Senju was hard at work when he suddenly raised his head, a trace of surprise on his face, before smiling. Looks like he's going to come clean with me. He felt a little anticipation too... Then he lowered his head and returned to work.

A while later, Tobirama Senju raised his head and smiled toward the door. A knock sounded. "Come in," Tobirama Senju said. The three pushed the door open and entered. Tobirama Senju glanced at them, then rested his gaze on Itō Yuying, smiling. "Yuying, your injuries have all healed?" Itō Yuying said, "Yes, Teacher."

"Come, come, tell us your story," Tobirama Senju said with a smile.

Itō Yuying scratched the back of his head and said guilelessly, "Actually, I have a kind of bean that can rapidly restore the body. As long as you still have a breath left, no matter what injuries you have, it can restore you to your peak condition. It also lets you go ten days without eating."

Tobirama Senju, Shimura Danzō, and Sarutobi Hiruzen all stopped breathing for a moment at that. Shimura Danzō's eyes were practically glued to Itō Yuying, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's jaw dropped to the floor.

Even Tobirama Senju, renowned for his composure, discreetly wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand. They knew all too well how important these beans were. On the battlefield, they could attack relentlessly without fearing injury. They dared not think any further. Just as the three were lost in their fantasies, Itō Yuying added, "The only drawback is that they can't cure illnesses. They have no effect on heart disease, headaches, fevers, or other illnesses like that." Tobirama Senju stroked his chin. "In other words, they can heal both external and internal injuries." Itō Yuying nodded.

Shimura Danzō cut in, "Junior brother, where did you get these, and how many do you have?" Seeing Shimura Danzō looking as though he wanted to absorb Itō Yuying into his own body, even Tobirama Senju felt a little embarrassed. "Danzo, Danzo, calm down. Calm down a little." Itō Yuying was speechless too. Why's he acting like some old gay guy? What a weird look in his eyes.

"All right, Yuying, tell us," Tobirama Senju said. "Mm, here's what happened. My parents fell into a hidden realm while on a mission, and a cat sage named Korin gave them these. The Ki in my body was taught by the cat sage too. It's just that I have to research and develop subsequent moves myself."

A cat sage? Tobirama Senju thought for a long time but could not recall any such sage in the Shinobi World. He knew of the sages of the Three Great Sage Lands, and he also knew they each had their own secret techniques and Senjutsu. Hashirama Senju knew Senjutsu. He himself had tried learning Senjutsu back then too, but had failed. That showed just how difficult it was to learn. Could this "Ki" be a kind of Senjutsu too?

Looking at the child before him, he truly felt that comparing people could drive a man to his death, just as comparing goods could make you throw yours away!
