Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 166 Tsunade's Favorability Increases (Please Subscribe)

"Kid, haven't you had enough?"

Tsunade said with a forced smile, she hadn't realized for a moment that she had let that brat Uchiha Yoichi hold her for so long; as expected, she still couldn't let her guard down against that brat.

"Hmm, his body isn't shaking anymore, and his voice is very strong. It seems that his hemophobia has been temporarily suppressed."

Uchiha Yoichi then released Tsunade's hand, nodded to her, and said, "Warmth can indeed dispel hemophobia. If you have a hemophobia attack in the future, you can come to me anytime."

"You..."

"Lady Tsunade, let's get down to business first."

When Tsunade raised her fist, Uchiha Yoichi brought up serious business, which immediately deflated Tsunade's anger.

She came here for important business, but being led around by this brat was too unpleasant.

"Never mind, I'll treat the wound first. Can I borrow your tent? Please clear a space outside the tent; I need to use my psychic powers."

Tsunade snorted, then blindfolded herself and had Shizune draw some blood for her to smear on her hands. She then went to the tent entrance and used a summoning jutsu.

Tsunade summoned a giant slug that was over ten meters tall. After the slug appeared, Shizune, who was standing nearby, quickly wiped away the blood that had just been drawn.

"Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade ordered, "Slug, split immediately and find all the seriously injured ninjas in this camp. I will then use you to heal them."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Uchiha Yang, who was standing nearby, said, "Shizune, go and tell Orochimaru-sensei that Tsunade-sama is about to start treating the wounded."

"Oh, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Shizune immediately went to Orochimaru's tent, which she had just visited.

Tsunade returned to her tent and sat down. Uchiha Yoichi followed her in and asked, "Do you need me to provide you with chakra later?"

"Don't underestimate me, I am one of the Three Ninjas."

Tsunade clicked her tongue. She felt that Uchiha Yoichi, that kid, had been taking care of her. As one of the Legendary Sannin and a senior, her pride made her somewhat resistant to being taken care of by a junior kid, but she also had some indescribable feelings in her heart.

There seems to be a slight hope that someone will come and take care of her.

The large slug dispersed into two or three hundred smaller slugs, which quickly crawled onto each of the wounded. Meanwhile, Shizune informed Orochimaru of Tsunade's plan to use the Slug Technique to treat the wounded. Upon hearing this, Orochimaru immediately ordered his ninjas to take Shizune to the medical ward to convey Tsunade's orders.

After the treatment began, a large amount of chakra surged from Tsunade's body and was transferred to the injured person through the slug.

This slug technique is indeed incredibly powerful on the battlefield, capable of rapidly healing all the wounded. If the war lasts for a day, a lightly wounded ninja can return to the battlefield three times in a single day, effectively doing the work of three people.

Originally, due to a shortage of medical ninjas in the camp, many lightly injured ninjas had not received treatment. Now that Tsunade has arrived, all the wounded are being treated at once.

Even Sakumo Hatake had a small slug crawling on him, transferring Tsunade's chakra to heal him.

Sakumo Hatake's shoulder wound would normally take a long time to heal, but under Tsunade's treatment, his bones, muscles, and other tissues are recovering rapidly.

The chakra continued to be transferred for a long time. The number of seriously injured patients this time was a bit beyond Tsunade's expectations. During the treatment, fine beads of sweat even appeared on her face.

However, at that moment, a hand was placed on her body, and Tsunade then felt chakra being transferred to her.

The sudden influx of chakra startled her for a moment, but Tsunade still made use of it. It was common for medical ninjas to borrow chakra from each other, and receiving chakra while using medical ninjutsu was not difficult for Tsunade.

"Affection +2. This ability truly understands Tsunade's tsundere personality."

Upon seeing the guide, Uchiha Yang thought to himself that tsundere (introverted/tsundere) people are probably the most likely to be single.

The slug treatment lasted for more than an hour before Tsunade finished transferring chakra. By then, her face was covered in sweat, but as soon as she opened her eyes, a wet towel appeared in front of her.

".Thanks."

Tsunade said in a low voice without thinking, but then she was stunned and immediately thought to herself: How come this brat is getting better and better at taking care of people? And that chakra transfer just now too.

"How's the treatment going? How's Sakumo-senpai's injury?"

However, Uchiha Yoichi's serious question interrupted Tsunade's thoughts, bringing her back to the main topic: "It's alright. The lightly injured ninjas have recovered their fighting ability, and some of the seriously injured ninjas are also able to move around. The remaining ones will recover in about ten days, and Sakumo is the same."

"That's good. This way we'll have some manpower, and we won't be short-handed."

Uchiha Yang nodded and said, then saw the new hint given in the guide and couldn't help but twitch his lips, but he still chose to believe in the ability.

Then he said to Tsunade, "By the way, Tsunade, there's something I need to tell you."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, she saw Uchiha Yoichi stretch out his hand, and then a sapling grew from his palm.

"Wood Release? You studied my grandfather's cells?"

Tsunade noticed Orochimaru's beautiful eyes furrow slightly after she saw the Wood Release Kekkei. Suddenly remembering what Orochimaru had said to her earlier, she exclaimed in realization, "So that's what Orochimaru meant earlier—was he afraid I'd fight you over this?"

"Aren't you angry? Wood Release is the symbol of the Thousand Hands, but it's appeared on me."

"What's the point of getting angry? And if I said I wasn't angry, would you believe me?"

Tsunade gave a light snort and said, not really feeling angry, "How did you obtain the power of Wood Release?"

"For some special reason, Danzo probably saw my Mangekyou Sharingan and wanted to use the power of Wood Release to counterbalance it, so he found Orochimaru and hoped that he would study Wood Release. However, he did not expect that Orochimaru and I had a good relationship. After we studied Wood Release bloodline limit together, he transplanted it on himself as well."

Uchiha Yangyi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that ability is ability; although it may be a little quirky at times, it never makes a mistake.

"I might not be the only one with the Wood Release bloodline right now. There should be a few more in the village. You'll have to ask Orochimaru for the exact number."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she bit her finger as she said, "I know better than anyone about using Grandfather's cells for experiments. It was my second grandfather who started doing this; he left more experimental notes at the Senju clan than at Konoha, but no matter what he did, he couldn't replicate Grandfather's power, so he gave up."

"My younger brother once wanted to be Hokage."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then continued after a couple of seconds, "Back then, I wanted to help him fulfill his dream, so I thought of my great-uncle's experiment. But the experiment was too difficult, and I didn't have the manpower and resources of my great-uncle, so I gave up. I never thought that you, little brat, would inherit it today."

"It's been perfected now, and if you'd like, it might be able to eliminate your fear of blood."

"I don't need this method."

Tsunade tilted her head and said, the last sentence in a very soft voice, but Uchiha Yoichi still heard it.

Uchiha Yang nodded and said, "I understand. Let's do it the way we agreed. You'll be my help then."

What's wrong with this lecherous brat?

Tsunade's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She was a little unaccustomed to this situation, which made her feel somewhat overwhelmed. But to be honest, Tsunade didn't feel like she disliked it.

"What are you planning to do next?"

"Stay here for now. But as you know, I have my own situation. Just tell Orochimaru not to let the injured disturb me. If needed, I'll use my Slug Summoning Technique to help with the treatment."

Then, when asked about serious matters, Tsunade thought for a moment and said that when there was no war, she could travel far away from Konoha to various places in the ninja world, but knowing that the village was facing war, it was unlikely that she could stay out of it.

Especially since this brat even tried to drive her away, he seriously underestimated her ninja resolve.

"By the way, the tea you requested has been bought. Don't make such lame excuses again."

Tsunade waved her hand and said that she and Shizune quickly went to the Land of Tea, bought tea, and returned not long afterward. After that, they kept observing the situation in the vicinity.

"Tsunade, thank you so much this time."

Orochimaru suddenly walked in, smiling, and said, "I misspoke earlier. Even in your current state, you are still Konoha's medical genius."

"Don't try to fool me with sweet talk, Orochimaru. I haven't settled the score with you over the grandfather's cells yet."

Tsunade threatened Orochimaru in return, but the latter didn't care at all. Orochimaru knew that if Tsunade got really angry, she would definitely take action on the spot.

Orochimaru then continued, "I've arranged a tent for you next to Yang Yi, in case the Cloud Ninja really attack."

Orochimaru hopes that Uchiha Yoichi will protect Tsunade, as he is the only one in the entire camp with the strength to do so.

"The Cloud Ninja shouldn't attack; I've rested enough by now."

The first time I used Godzilla's body, there were many unfamiliar aspects, and I also had to use chakra to control heat dissipation, otherwise when I returned to human form, it might be Godzilla's body temperature that caused the heat to dissipate; but after that, I became much more proficient at using Godzilla's power.

Uchiha Yang said, "With the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure dead, they have lost the power to fight us on the front lines. Moreover, the most important thing for Kumogakure now is to appease Iwagakure, otherwise their Third Raikage will be in trouble."

In such a massive war, the Third Raikage hasn't been seen, and he's not the type to sit in an office. It's quite clear where the Third Raikage went: he went to the battlefield in the Land of Grass.

That's really arrogant. If the Third Raikage were on this battlefield, Konoha might have been so defeated that they couldn't even hold onto this camp, and in the end, there might have been less than two hundred ninjas surviving.

The Cloud Ninja lost their chance to defeat Konoha, but Tsunade's arrival has given them a much-needed boost.

"That's all for now. The village's reinforcements should be here soon. Tsunade, I'll leave things to you for the time being."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he left to go back and continue developing his trump card to protect the camp.

After Orochimaru left, Tsunade suddenly felt uneasy in Uchiha Yoichi's tent. It wasn't the kind of unease that comes from unfamiliarity, but rather a feeling that this lecherous brat was about to say something that would make her heart race.

"Honestly! I'm a senior, so much older than him. This brat is really going too far. What is he up to?"

Tsunade's mind raced with thoughts. After Dan's death, it seemed like no one had ever cared for her like this, taking care of her every thought and habit step by step. What a despicable brat!

"Lady Tsunade, the camp is set up."

Just as Shizune peeked her head in and spoke, Tsunade rushed towards her, saying, "Okay, let's go."

"Huh? Why is Lady Tsunade in such a hurry?"

"Stop arguing!"

----------------

"Dead?"

Upon hearing the news from the awakened Killer Bee, Huang Tu clenched his fists in anger and asked, suppressing his rage, "Why did Old Purple and Han die?"

"Huang Tu, my brother was able to escape because of the Eight-Tails; he almost died too!"

When Ai saw that Huang Tu was speaking to Qirabi in a very unpleasant tone, he spoke up.

"But our village has suddenly lost two Jinchūriki!"

Huang Tu said angrily, "Such a serious loss is a very serious blow to Iwagakure. Even if the tailed beast can be reborn, how many years will it take?"

How many ninja lives would it take to capture the Four-Tails and Five-Tails after being reborn?

After a successful capture, how long will it take for the new Jinchuriki to have the strength of Rōshi and Han? It took them a full ten years from becoming Jinchuriki to being able to use the power of the Tailed Beasts.

In other words, it would ideally take Iwagakure about fifteen years to regain a Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts with the strength of Rōshi and Han.

"I'm sorry, but I had no choice at the time. Faced with that situation, Hachiko could only cut off its tail and escape."

Killer Bee lay on the bed, weakly saying, "The tails of the tailed beasts are their strongest defensive parts. Even the tailed beast balls of other tailed beasts might not be able to break a tailed beast's tail. But that monster that Konoha Raiga transformed into had such great attack power. When it severed the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, it also killed Rōshi and Han inside them."

Hearing Killer Bee's explanation and seeing his injuries, Huang Tu knew that the Cloud Ninja wouldn't betray them; the Cloud Ninja still needed the strength of the Iwa Ninja.

But this time their losses were too great. Compared to the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, what were the deaths of a few hundred ninjas?

"I will report this matter to Lord Tsuchikage!"

Huang clenched his fist and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "The decision is up to Lord Tsuchikage."

After saying that, Huang Tu left the camp with his Iwa ninja subordinates. Tu Tai wanted to chase after them to explain, but Ai stopped him.

"It's no use explaining now. We're not lying, and we have no problems. The only oversight was that we underestimated the strength of Konoha's Raiga."

"Whether the Iwa ninja can accept it depends on the Third Tsuchikage's choice!"
