Before we knew it, two months had passed.
During these two months, Araki has been training himself, doing so in a very orderly manner every day, immersing himself in his own rhythm.
In the morning, he would prepare poisons during his training breaks. In the afternoon, after training with Tsunade, he would take Nawaki to learn medical knowledge. In the evening, he would continue making Explosive Tag during his training breaks.
Day after day, nothing changes.
During this period, there was absolutely no movement on the two previous cases in Konoha, or rather, even if there was movement, it did not reach Araki's ears.
Araki's level is definitely too low.
However, this was also a good thing for him, as it showed that both things had been done flawlessly, no one suspected him, and no one disturbed his peaceful and positive life.
After the bombing that day, no more invaders entered Kumogakure, seemingly having completely given up on Kushina's matter.
After all, it's hard to repeat the same mistake three or four times!
certainly.
Whether or not there were negotiations, Mo Yechun did not take a particularly tough stance on the invading forces of Kumogakure, and even returned the hostages to their original location.
These are not things Araki is considering!
This day.
At Tsunade's house.
Araki stood in front of the table, on which sat a huge scroll with a fish in the center.
At this very moment.
Araki placed his left hand on the fish's body, his palm glowing with a vibrant green light, while his right hand wielded a blue Chakra Scalpel, precisely cutting through the fish's flesh until the fish bones were visible through the scales.
Following a series of actions, Araki re-stitched the wounds on the fish's body using Chakra Threads, and then used Mystical Palm Technique to finally heal them.
"It's finished."
Araki smiled with satisfaction after seeing the fish lively and energetic again; it was the result of his learning over the past few months.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the fish in front of them disappeared and returned to the scroll.
Araki hasn't been researching scrolls lately, but has been mechanically and repeatedly making Explosive Tag. The main reason is that Explosive Tag make it easier to sell hard currency, while there isn't such a strong demand for other types of talismans.
Where there is demand, there is a market.
Araki doesn't do niche things when his main business is making money.
" Araki, congratulations! You have successfully graduated. I have nothing more to teach you in terms of Medical Ninjutsu. The rest is up to you to continue to improve your medical skills!" Tsunade stared at Araki with eyes full of satisfaction. She never thought she would have such a disciple.
"Thank you so much for your guidance, Tsunade-sensei!" Araki immediately bowed deeply to Tsunade.
"Your current achievements are inseparable from your own hard work." Tsunade shook her head and said, "Your school starts in three days. You don't need to come anymore."
Upon hearing this, Nawaki, who was in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were about to send this great demon king away.
In an instant.
A gentle light returned to his once-gloomy eyes.
It felt like my life from then on became more meaningful.
Even solitary confinement wasn't so unbearable anymore, because he had had enough of Araki over the past two weeks; he was simply a devil.
"No."
Araki shook his head in direct refusal, then looked up at Tsunade and said very seriously, "I hope Tsunade-sensei will continue to ask for leave for me. I need to come here every afternoon."
Upon hearing this,
Tsunade and Nawaki were both taken aback.
immediately.
Tsunade was the first to react.
"You can train on your own. Besides, I don't have that much time to come here every afternoon to teach you." Tsunade in refusal as well.
" Tsunade-sensei, you've misunderstood. I didn't come here for my own studies, but to teach Nawaki," Araki said with a smile.
"???" Nawaki's lips twitched violently, but he didn't dare to interrupt at the moment, feeling as if fate was playing a joke on him.
"You're still willing to teach Nawaki?" Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. In her opinion, teaching Nawaki was an extremely troublesome matter, and even she herself didn't have the patience for it.
"Of course I'm willing. While teaching Nawaki, I can also gain a deeper understanding of medical knowledge and solidify what I've learned," Araki said earnestly. "Besides teaching Nawaki basic medical theory, I will also teach him the advanced medical knowledge I've learned on my own, along with my understanding of it. My purpose in doing this is not to make Nawaki a medical-nin, but to help him better understand how to treat his injuries and have the ability to protect himself in the future."
"This... you..." Tsunade was suddenly overcome with emotion. In this world, besides her, perhaps only this child in front of her would truly care about Nawaki. "Then... thank you!"
" Tsunade-sensei, you're being too formal. You didn't find it troublesome when you were teaching me. Besides, Nawaki is my best friend. The process of teaching him didn't feel like a teacher and student, but rather like friends learning and playing together, and we both enjoyed it," Araki said.
"Enjoy... enjoy it?"
In the distance, Nawaki muttered something to himself, and then, thinking of Araki's gaze over the past few days, he couldn't help but shudder.
I thought today would be the day I woke up from the nightmare, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning. In the past, my older sister was here to provide a buffer, but now even my older sister is gone, and it has become a one-on-one teaching session for them.
This is too difficult!
These days are so tough!
Suddenly, Nawaki felt that there was absolutely no hope left in this life!
"That's settled then. I'll take care of the leave request. I'll leave the rest to you, Nawaki!" Tsunade nodded, making the decision.
" Tsunade-sensei, there's one more thing. Regarding Might Teacher Duy, I want to have his surgery done before the start of the school year. After all, I have the ability now, and I don't want to postpone it until after school starts," Araki suggested.
"I'll arrange that. If all goes well, you can start the surgery tomorrow." Tsunade nodded, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Nervous?"
"It's alright." Araki smiled as well.
"Do you need me to come with you?" Tsunade asked after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, we need to." Araki nodded. If Tsunade hadn't brought it up first, he would have done so too.
"Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.
"I'm confident, extremely confident. After all, I'm a disciple of Tsunade-sensei. Might Teacher Duy's surgery is just a minor procedure and won't carry any significant risks. I believe I can complete it independently," Araki said confidently.
"Then why do you need me to accompany you?" Tsunade suddenly became puzzled.
"Because Might Teacher Duy very important to me, I don't want any mistakes to happen during my surgery. If my operation causes any problems for the vegetable vendor, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. If Tsunade-sensei can be by my side, it's like having insurance for this surgery. If any problems arise, I can rely on Tsunade-sensei," Araki said with a smile.
"I can accompany you, but I'm not without conditions. If I'm allowed to go, I'll call all the important people in the hospital to witness your first surgery. I'll also formally inform them that you're my disciple." Tsunade's expression was serious and earnest as she continued, "I can provide insurance for you, but you must uphold my dignity."
"No problem!"
Araki nodded and said, "I will definitely not let Tsunade-sensei down!"
"It's settled then. Come to the hospital early tomorrow. The surgery is scheduled for the afternoon. I'll let you know the exact time tomorrow morning. Go back and get some rest, and make sure you're well prepared," Tsunade instructed.
"Yes!"
Araki immediately responded, his eyes gleaming with intense confidence; he had been waiting for this moment all this time.
That is, he hopes to help Might Teacher Duy by using the medical knowledge he has learned through his own efforts.
This can be seen as a way of giving back to Might Teacher Duy!
In the time that follows.
Araki exchanged a few more pleasantries with Tsunade-sensei before leaving. After returning home, he didn't repeatedly review medical books like a student preparing for an exam. Instead, he continued his training and crafting Explosive Tag as usual.
This doesn't mean he didn't care about Might Duy's surgery.
It was precisely because he cared so much that he had gone through the surgery countless times in his mind over this period of time, and it could be said that he knew all the steps and processes by heart.
The only thing limiting him was his hands-on ability.
However, through the continuous creation of Explosive Tag during this period, he has developed a very strong ability to precisely control Chakra. He can manipulate Chakra Scalpel with great finesse and perform precise internal organ surgery using the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique.
The only thing lacking is experience!
As this was his first surgery, Araki didn't want to delay, but he still hoped that Tsunade-sensei could come and support him. He might have let it go for other patients, but this patient was Might Teacher Duy!
Araki not only didn't want Might Teacher Duy's surgery to go wrong, but he also didn't want Might Teacher Duy to suffer any aftereffects whatsoever.
After a night of meditation.
The next day, early morning.
Araki walked toward Konoha Hospital with great energy and confidence, having complete faith in Tsunade-sensei's arrangements, which would allow him to perform surgery on Might Teacher Duy today.
" Might Teacher Duy."
" Tsunade-sensei."
"I am coming!"
"I will definitely not let you down today!"
Araki stood at the entrance of Konoha Hospital, muttered a couple of words to himself, and then strode straight into the Konoha Hospital.
As soon as he stepped into the hospital, he felt countless eyes on him. People were whispering among themselves, clearly knowing his identity and the purpose of his visit.
There's no need to hide your Medical Ninjutsu abilities; you should show them when the time is right, especially when it's time to bring honor to Tsunade-sensei!
"It's been so long since I've seen Might Teacher Duy..."
Araki walked through the hospital lobby, started walking up the stairs, and prepared to go into the ward to see Might Teacher Duy.
Chapter 44 Famous at Konoha Hospital (Part 1)
The news of Araki's arrival at Konoha Hospital has already spread. Once this information falls into the hands of those nurses, it's as if everyone here knows.
If you mention the name Araki now, he might be unknown in other parts of Konoha, and many people might not recognize him. However, within Konoha Hospital, he is a prominent figure—he is Lady Tsunade's disciple!
Looking across the entire Konoha, only Araki is qualified to be Lady Tsunade's disciple!
You should know...
This is a direct disciple of the Konoha Sannin!
Of course, people outside the medical field may not be aware of these concepts, and naturally, they wouldn't know the important position Araki represents here.
In the hospital lobby.
As Araki climbed the stairs and disappeared from everyone's sight, the nurses couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
