Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

pain.

It felt as if all the bones in my body had been taken apart and then haphazardly glued back together with cheap glue. Every breath I took pulled at my limbs and bones, bringing sharp, stabbing pains.

Especially the two arms, I could hardly feel their existence.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan opened his eyes with difficulty, and the pungent smell of disinfectant immediately entered his nasal cavity.

A white ceiling, white sheets, and... a dazzling frizz of blonde hair by the bedside.

Tsunade lay down beside his bed and fell asleep.

She was still wearing the clothes she had worn to the front lines, covered in mud and bits of grass. Her long, golden hair was disheveled and fell down, covering half of her face, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyes.

She looked very tired; even in her sleep, her brows were still slightly furrowed.

One hand was still tightly gripping Qianxuan's bed sheet.

"Lady Tsunade has been watching over you for three days and three nights, without leaving your side for even a moment."

A soft voice sounded from the side.

Qianxuan turned his head and saw Jingyin holding a new IV bag, carefully hanging it on the stand.

She had dark circles under her eyes, but when she saw Qianxuan wake up, she still showed genuine joy on her face.

"I……"

Qianxuan opened his mouth, his throat was so dry it felt like it had been rubbed with sandpaper, and the sound he made was hoarse and unpleasant.

"Keep your voice down."

Jingyin quickly poured a glass of warm water and fed it to Qianxuan with a spoon.

"It was Lady Tsunade who saved you."

The sound was very soft, tinged with lingering fear.

"Minato-sama said that if we had been any later, you might have... Anyway, Tsunade-sama used up a lot of chakra to treat you and only just fell asleep."

Jingyin paused, looking at her master's peaceful sleeping face, her eyes filled with utmost reverence.

"Furthermore, Lady Tsunade... is no longer afraid of blood."

Qianxuan's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.

He looked at Tsunade's tired face, and the image of her red, watery eyes when she tore off her bandages flashed through his mind.

That stupid woman...

The door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara tiptoed in.

When they saw Qianxuan open his eyes, all three of them showed expressions of relief.

"Senior, you're awake!"

Lin was the first to run over, her eyes red-rimmed.

Obito followed behind, clutching his hair, looking constipated and wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Kakashi stood at the back, his hands in his pockets. Although he still looked cold, his black eyes were fixed on Qianxuan, as if trying to confirm whether he was really still alive.

"You...are you all alright..."

Qian Xuan tried to smile, but the movement aggravated the wound on his face, causing him to wince in pain.

"We should be asking you that!"

Obito finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and his voice involuntarily rose.

"Do you know you were unconscious for three whole days! I almost thought you..."

"Obito!"

Lin quickly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to be quiet so as not to wake Tsunade.

Obito realized he had lost his composure and immediately covered his mouth, but his eyes were still fixed on Sengen, filled with lingering fear, relief, and a hint of...admiration that he himself didn't realize.

Perhaps their commotion was a bit too loud, because Tsunade, who was lying by the bed, fluttered her eyelashes and slowly woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and saw everyone gathered around the bed. She was taken aback at first, but then her gaze landed precisely on Qianxuan's face.

"woke up?"

Her voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up.

"Um."

Tsunade didn't say anything more, but simply reached out and checked the temperature of Sengen's forehead, and then checked the tightness of the bandages on his arm.

Her movements were so natural, as if she had done them a thousand times.

Nohara Rin, who was standing to the side, felt her cheeks inexplicably burning as she watched this scene.

She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Lady Tsunade looked at Sengen-senpai.

That wasn't the look of a senior medical ninja or an older sister when she looked at an injured junior.

In her eyes, there was worry, heartache, and even a hint of... relief and dependence from something lost and found, which she herself didn't even realize.

Just like... just like when Kushina looked at Minato.

Thinking of this, Lin's face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Cough cough."

Qianxuan felt uneasy about the eerie silence. He cleared his throat, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone is here..."

He spoke with a serious expression.

"Then I'll show you a legendary skill that's long been lost."

A unique skill?

Everyone was stunned.

You're injured like this, what special skills do you still have?

Qianxuan struggled to rub the blanket covering him to the side with his chin and shoulder, revealing his legs in casts.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he slowly raised his feet.

His toes moved with incredible agility, even in a strange way, rapidly interlacing, closing, and changing positions.

That was... a hand seal!

Wei—Zi—Xu—Hai—Yin.

Obito's mouth opened wider and wider.

Lin's eyes widened little by little.

For the first time, a crack appeared in Kakashi's usually calm and collected eyes.

Even Tsunade, who had just woken up and was still a little groggy, was completely awake. She stared at Sengen's feet, which were rapidly forming hand seals, and her brain went blank for half a second.

What is this guy doing?

"Clone Technique!"

boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded beside the hospital bed.

As the smoke cleared, a clone that looked exactly like Qian Xuan appeared before everyone.

The clone, also pale-faced and covered in bandages, sat weakly on the ground, even panting heavily.

The entire ward fell into a deathly silence.

The IV tube in Shizune's hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Obito's jaw was dislocated, but he was completely unaware of it.

Lin covered her mouth tightly with her hand, her shoulders trembling, unsure whether she wanted to cry or laugh.

Kakashi stood still, motionless, like a petrified statue.

He looked at the man who was making footprints with his feet, then at the clone sitting on the ground, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Third Hokage... you call this thing a Chunin?

"asshole!!!"

A roar, simmering with suppressed rage, finally shattered the deathly silence.

Tsunade suddenly stood up, veins bulging on her forehead. She raised her fist, powerful enough to shatter Susanoo, and was about to smash it down on Sengen's smug face.

But when she was halfway through swinging her fist, she abruptly stopped.

She looked at Qian Xuan's two arms, which were still in casts, and finally, she could only grit her teeth and squeeze out a few words.

"I'll kill you after you've healed!"
