"Absolutely no problem!"
Araki said with great confidence, not only about his own confidence but also about Tsunade-sensei, because he had received the promise he hoped for from Tsunade-sensei yesterday: Tsunade-sensei was now on his side to guarantee the success of the surgery.
"I see!"
Might Duy immediately nodded, then raised his right hand, gave Araki a thumbs-up, and suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.
" Araki, I believe in you, you can do it!"
It's 3 PM.
This is the scheduled date for Might Duy's surgery!
Prior to this, Might Duy had already been changed into surgical gowns by the nurses and wheeled into the sterile operating room.
There were many people standing outside the operating room, almost forming two layers around the transparent window. This was a public operating room; people outside could see inside, but people inside could not. The outer glass was one-way, which effectively prevented the person undergoing surgery from being distracted and also allowed people outside to supervise.
All eyes outside are now on Might Duy on the operating table, because they all know what kind of injuries Might Duy has.
As the time draws near.
Everyone had various thoughts running through their minds, all of which revolved around matters concerning the desert, because this unknown boy held far too many secrets for them.
after a while.
Utatane Koharu, has arrived.
The expression on her face wasn't particularly pleasant; it seemed she had come here only to witness a medical tragedy.
A while later.
The time is drawing near.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, three figures appeared in their line of sight, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Tsunade was walking at the very front.
The way he took his steps showed absolutely no sign of insecurity; it was as if it were a very simple matter, as if he were the one performing the surgery that day.
Following closely behind Tsunade was Araki.
Araki's appearance attracted the most attention at the scene.
All the eyes focused on him were scrutinizing and questioning; everyone was curious about what kind of person this boy was.
certainly.
Araki didn't pay any attention to those looks.
After Tsunade-sensei said yesterday that she would make the surgery public, he already knew what was going to happen.
I also understand what kind of things I will encounter.
Therefore, I was already mentally prepared and will not be intimidated by what is happening now.
The person walking at the very back was Nurse China.
Nurse China came to watch as a family member after Might Duy applied. There was no place for her, but Might Duy's request was so strong that it was impossible to refuse, so she was brought along.
That concludes the discussion.
With the arrival of Araki.
Everyone already realizes it.
Might Duy's surgery is about to begin!
The people present were all high-ranking officials from Konoha Hospital. Their gazes toward Araki were filled with complex emotions, because this young man had completely shattered their perceptions of medical-nin and their understanding of age.
Could it be that...
There really can be such a person.
He's not a ninja yet.
Yet he already possesses the qualities of medical-nin!
Chapter 45 Famous at Konoha Hospital (Part 2)
"Let me introduce it to you!"
Tsunade's gaze swept over everyone present. Each person here was a high-ranking official of Konoha Hospital, and she was very familiar with them, but she was not so familiar with her disciple.
In the past.
Tsunade did not intend to introduce Araki in such a high-profile manner.
but...
As they spent more and more time together...
She had grown to understand Araki better and better, and when Araki chose to stay and continue teaching Nawaki, her heart was completely melted.
This time, what seemed like a simple introduction was tantamount to directly using his own connections to bring Araki into the medical-nin circle of Konoha.
after all...
If it were someone else...
At this age, the first thing to do is graduate from the Ninja Academy, and then continuously experience ninja missions. Only after reaching a certain basic level can one enroll in medical-nin training on their own.
This learning process involves a long period of time and effort, not only learning the techniques of Medical Ninjutsu, but also the basic medical theoretical knowledge.
Even after completing all the above steps and successfully entering Konoha Hospital, one still needs to start as an intern, accumulating experience and connections little by little. It's unknown how long it will take before one can finally meet with the high-ranking officials of Konoha Hospital.
However...
Now...
At only ten years old and still a student at the Ninja Academy, Araki already had the opportunity to speak his name in front of these big shots, and even performed an extremely difficult surgery under the watchful eyes of them all.
Swish!
As Tsunade finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes turned to Araki, including Konoha advisor Utatane Koharu, who stood inside with a cold expression.
"That's what connections are all about!"
Araki Chunin. The energy Tsunade brought was the kind that could transcend social classes. Otherwise, for a ninja like him without a family background, it wouldn't be enough to reach such a position in this circle with only extraordinary talent. He would also need to accumulate seniority, build connections, cultivate relationships, and do many things that he had no interest in or was too lazy to do.
"No wonder Dan Katō insisted on marrying Tsunade!"
"This is practically a direct route to Hokage!"
"The people gathered here now almost include Konoha's top-tier medical-nin, and they didn't even come to see me; they came to see me..."
"Even so, there are still many people who want to come here, but they have no chance and never get to see me!"
Even Konoha's advisor Utatane Koharu, has come!
" Tsunade-sensei is promoting me!"
Araki pondered this incessantly until he witnessed this scene, at which point he truly understood Tsunade's intentions.
What does it mean to feel proud and smug in front of higher-ups...?
What do you mean, don't embarrass her as a teacher...?
This is not about proving a teacher's awesomeness by showing off their students!
Instead, they are using the teacher's connections to pave the way for their students!
Araki had no doubts whatsoever. As long as he successfully completed Might Teacher Duy's surgery, he could enter Konoha Hospital without any obstacles the moment he graduated from the Ninja Academy and take on a very respectable position. Even his superiors would probably have to treat him with utmost courtesy.
The ninja world is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions. Otherwise, no matter how strong someone is, they would only be a lower-level existence and become a tool for those above them.
"This is the disciple I mentioned to you, Araki!"
Tsunade's voice rang out slowly, her tone firm and resolute, her unwavering stance deterring anyone from interrupting her.
Araki was my first disciple!
"This might be my last disciple!"
"He has received my personal instruction and perfectly inherited my medical skills. It's no exaggeration to say that most of you here are still inferior to Araki in terms of mastery of Medical Ninjutsu!"
"When I was Araki's age, I was incomparable to him at all, while at that time I was already hailed as a genius among medical-nin!"
"I can say with absolute certainty..."
"Give Araki enough time, and he can easily surpass me within five to ten years and become the strongest medical-nin in Konoha and even the ninja world!"
Tsunade spoke one sentence after another, causing a storm of emotions to surge within the Konoha High Command listening attentively, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.
That's incredibly high praise!
They had never seen Tsunade praise someone like that before.
At first, when they heard Tsunade say that Araki's Medical Ninjutsu was better than many of theirs, they were quite unconvinced, but they didn't dare to refute her. However, later, when Tsunade sacrificed herself, their resentment vanished instantly.
Even Lady Tsunade speaks of herself in this way, so what else can they say?
"Alright!"
"It's time for the surgery!"
" Araki!"
"Go in and perform the surgery!"
"Don't be nervous!"
"Just play your normal game!"
Tsunade suddenly turned her head and gently patted Araki's shoulder, transferring power to Araki in this way.
She didn't waste Araki's energy getting to know these people. When introducing him, she only introduced Araki to them, simply so that when they saw him in Araki future, they would know that Araki was her disciple and would take care of him if they could, giving her some face.
As for the names of these people...
There's no need for Araki to memorize it now.
We don't need to beg them.
"Yes."
Araki responded and immediately walked into the operating room. After he closed the door, only the bright lights remained inside, and everything outside could no longer be seen.
