"Never seen it before!"
"Why does he look so familiar?"
"..."
In an instant, the nurses' eyes all focused on Araki, who was almost invisible. The main reason they were talking about Araki was that he was walking next to Tsunade Araki.
"Isn't he the guy who came for the interview last time, the one who came with Ibuki-sensei!"
Suddenly someone recognized Araki, but couldn't recall his name, and then said something that shocked all the nurses.
"He seems to be Lady Tsunade's disciple!"
Chapter 43 This disciple is too low-key! (First update)
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing these words, the nurses gasped in shock. For a moment, almost no one spoke; the room fell silent.
The silence lasted for about two or three seconds before returning to normal as Tsunade and Araki stepped onto the stairs and disappeared from their sight.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? That child is Lady Tsunade's disciple?"
"My goodness! Just how outstanding must someone be to catch Lady Tsunade's eye?"
"I'll remember him. So he's Lady Tsunade's disciple. I'll have to be careful what I say next time I see him!"
"I'm so envious! I want to be Tsunade-sensei's student too!"
"..."
The nurses gasped in shock, unable to believe their ears. The scene before them left them utterly stunned.
After all, not everyone can become Lady Tsunade's disciple!
Each of them knew very well that this young boy would undergo an indescribable transformation after becoming Lady Tsunade's disciple.
This made them extremely envious, even a little jealous, feeling like they had suddenly become phoenixes.
immediately.
Some of the gossipy nurses quietly followed along, wanting to hear what had happened.
While I'm at it, I'll also go and check on that disciple of Lady Tsunade.
Others went in other directions, eager to share this gossip with more people and discuss it together.
Araki was behind Tsunade. His hearing was extremely sharp, and he overheard the nurses' discussion as soon as they entered Konoha Hospital.
This was something that didn't exist when he first came with Might Duy.
Regarding this kind of thing.
Araki, however, didn't seem surprised at all.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
He has already begun learning Healing Technique, and will also learn and plan to learn Medical Ninjutsu in the future.
I'll probably be interning at Konoha Hospital soon.
Perhaps it was around the time I graduated from the Ninja Academy.
In that case...
Araki felt that since his fact as Tsunade's disciple would be exposed anyway, there was no difference in revealing it now.
This isn't something that particularly needs to be hidden. More importantly, once this identity is exposed, it can give him a greater sense of security and allow him to avoid some troublesome situations.
Not long after.
Araki and Tsunade then went to Might Duy's hospital room.
When Tsunade walked in, she still shocked the medical-nin and nurses inside, who quickly made way for her. After all, Tsunade was the most important person there, and she immediately gave them a grand entrance.
" Lady Tsunade!"
" Lady Tsunade!"
" Lady Tsunade!"
"..."
Everyone in the ward bowed and greeted Tsunade, so much so that they all overlooked Araki, who silently followed Tsunade in.
Araki is inherently prone to being overlooked. When he's alone, he's like an invisible man, hardly attracting any attention. Now, with someone like Tsunade by his side, he's even more easily ignored.
"Let me see."
Tsunade simply nodded in response to the greetings from the crowd, then quickly walked up to Might Duy. She and Might Duy didn't have much interaction, and normally, someone of her status wouldn't personally treat a Genin; it was a matter of rank.
Genin are the lowest rank among the ninjas of Konoha.
Even if they were admitted to Konoha Hospital, the medical treatment they received would only be at the Genin, including sharing a ward with other Genin.
This is something that cannot be compared to that of Jonin.
but...
Since Might Duy was Araki's teacher, and Tsunade was also Araki's teacher, they were in the same position as teachers based on this point about Araki.
" Araki, look closely, this is the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique."
Tsunade spoke softly, without looking at Araki, but she deliberately emphasized Araki's name in her words. Although she was treating someone, it looked like she was giving a lesson.
"Yes!"
Araki nodded, both amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected Tsunade to be so arrogant, managing to resolve a problem involving a difference in their levels in such a way.
besides.
Araki could vaguely sense it.
Tsunade wanted to do him this favor!
If it weren't for Tsunade's words, after she healed Might Duy, both Might Duy and China would have focused their gratitude entirely on Tsunade, regarding Tsunade as a miracle doctor who heals the sick and saves lives, and might even have forgotten Araki's existence.
However, after Tsunade said those words, everyone present knew Araki's name and understood that Tsunade had come because of Araki.
A simple sentence, yet it effectively brought Araki to the forefront.
Of course, Tsunade did this mainly because she understood that if she didn't say those words, Araki would completely pretend that she hadn't done anything.
This disciple is too modest!
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage; doing things without saying anything often achieves the effect of not having done them at all.
Swish!
Almost instantly.
All eyes in the room were focused on Araki.
The medical-nin at Konoha Hospital were all secretly speculating about Araki's identity, but none of them asked him aloud at that moment.
The nurses who followed her upstairs also heard Tsunade's words, and they all stared at Araki with curious and gossipy eyes, silently memorizing the name Araki.
"Call..."
Araki instantly felt countless gazes upon him, something he had never experienced since arriving in the ninja world. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm himself down.
certainly...
His previous lack of attention was also related to his low profile.
However, Tsunade achieved multiple effects with just one sentence, successfully pulling him from the shadows where no one was watching into the light.
That's really impressive!
She truly deserves to be the first female Hokage in the original story!
At this moment, Araki truly experienced Tsunade's ability to handle interpersonal relationships. Her seemingly casual words had multiple effects, and she handled all kinds of social situations perfectly.
He felt ashamed of himself in this matter; he was a homebody who not only lacked social skills but was also somewhat socially awkward.
Chapter 44 You'll Perform This Surgery (Second Update)
Buzz!
At that very moment.
A soft green Chakra light emanated from Tsunade's palm.
This Chakra has a warm and soothing feel, as if it can nourish everything, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Once such a movement is made...
All eyes were drawn back to Tsunade.
The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious.
"This is the legendary Delicate Illness Extraction Technique!"
Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath. They all had the same thought in their minds, and no one dared to even breathe loudly as they stared at Tsunade with admiration.
Apart from Araki, everyone else standing in this ward is from Konoha Hospital.
Strictly speaking, with Araki by their side, these people can all be considered medical-nin!
The only one who wasn't was Might Duy, who was lying in bed preparing to receive treatment, but the patient didn't need to be medical-nin.
Every medical-nin knows what the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique is all about. None of the people here know how to use it, so after hearing Tsunade's words, they all focused their attention on Tsunade's hands, wanting to learn and see what she was doing.
Even though Tsunade specifically mentioned Araki, no one was going to waste such a precious opportunity.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tsunade's gentle Chakra moved closer to Might's abdomen. Instantly, the green Chakra seeped through his skin and into his body, yet remained under Tsunade's control.
"What I'm doing right now isn't treating him, but rather observing him to determine what the problem is, and then making an appropriate treatment plan based on his condition," Tsunade said calmly. This time she didn't name names, seemingly speaking to Araki, but also as if addressing everyone.
Araki did not respond this time either. No one spoke, and everyone maintained a silent atmosphere, their attention highly focused.
but...
Araki silently praised Tsunade in his heart.
Not mentioning names at this point is a sign of emotional intelligence. Calling a name once serves as a warning, but calling it again would have a dismissive effect.
