I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 264 I woke up with a hangover, my whole body ached, and I kept feeling like my friend had hit me.

As Tatsuma stepped out of the consultation room, he looked at Minato, who had been sitting up in shock from his deathbed, and forced a smile. He asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Minato looked at Tatsuma and asked, "How did you know I developed the Rasengan of Lightning Release?"

"I have no idea."

"I plan to name it Lightning Release! Takemikazuchi Spiral Martial Hammer Second Form!"

"Actually, calling it the Hidden Rasengan would be better."

"You also think the name I chose is great, right?"

The conversation between the two lacked any sense of interaction. Orochimaru, Tsunade, and the doctor and nurse pushing the hospital bed looked at each other, unable to understand the way these two famous geniuses from the village communicated.

Tatsuma looked at the delirious Minato, sighed, and turned to the doctor, asking, "Dr. Matsumoto, who brought Minato here?"

"It's Lord Jiraiya."

Dr. Matsumoto replied that he had worked with Tatsuma briefly, but at the time Matsumoto was not in the emergency department and it now appears that he was seconded.

"I'm taking over the water gates now, you guys get back to work."

Tatsuma placed his hand on the hospital bed. Dr. Matsumoto and the two nurses exchanged glances and then ran away. Minato had many injuries, none of which were particularly serious, but they were extremely troublesome to treat.

This would take a lot of time and effort, and they were naturally happy to have Chenma take over. Moreover, Chenma was particularly skilled at handling such surgical wounds and was not afraid of anything going wrong.

Minato, who was muttering about how he came up with the name "Lightning Release: Takemikazuchi Hidden Hammer Second Style" and wanted to share his entire thought process with Tatsuma, was pushed into a wound cleaning and suturing room.

Tsunade followed her in. Without Tatsuma saying a word, Tsunade took out a large amount of hydrogen peroxide and saline solution. For Tatsuma, Minato's injuries only required cleaning and no other instruments.

After returning for more than a week, Tatsuma regained his control over his chakra. He condensed chakra scalpel in his right hand and exposed the wounds on Minato's body.

Tsunade generously poured hydrogen peroxide and saline solution, while Tatsuma removed some of the obviously necrotic flesh and then used his palm technique to heal the wound directly.

Tatsuma was somewhat puzzled as to how Minato's injuries had occurred. After all, given Minato's speed and mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would have been difficult to injure him so badly. At least Tatsuma himself didn't have any good methods.

The only method he could think of was to directly cripple Minato.

A short while later, Tatsuma and Tsunade stopped what they were doing; the treatment was complete. Perhaps because the pain was gradually subsiding, Minato had actually fallen asleep during the surgery.

"Haha, I didn't expect that a mere two thousand taels would be enough for the two of you to heal this kid Minato."

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out from the doorway. Tatsuma looked over and saw Jiraiya holding a payment slip. Tatsuma asked, "Jiraiya-sensei, how did Minato get injured like this? Did you hit him?"

"Do I look like the kind of heartless teacher?"

Jiraiya walked in, took out a scroll from his pocket, and said, "He fused Lightning Release Chakra and Rasengan this morning, saying he wanted to show you."

He heard that you were preparing for surgery these past two days, so he didn't come. Instead, he went to find Kushina. I have to say, his technique is quite interesting. The formed Rasengan can not only be thrown, but it can also become invisible midway through its flight.

Furthermore, due to the chakra turbulence, even sensing a specific location was difficult. Kushina didn't believe it, insisting that the Rasengan had dissipated, so he used it on Kushina, and the result...

As he spoke, Jiraiya held up three fingers and said, "Three tails, tsk tsk, you're already this strong with three tails. If you had four tails, I probably wouldn't be able to suppress you, let alone more."

"The Nine-Tails has gone berserk?"

Orochimaru, who was also waiting at the door, poked half his head out and looked at Jiraiya with a deep gaze. Jiraiya quickly shook his head and said, "No! That's the result of Kushina's training over this period of time."

If it were truly a riot, you would all have been urgently conscripted; it was just that Kushina's anger caused her to lose her temper slightly.

"oh."

Orochimaru retracted half of his head. Tatsuma and Tsunade were somewhat surprised. Kushina had been living in the Senju clan's territory for some time, and they were unaware that she had mastered the Nine-Tails' power to this extent.

After a while, Tatsuma finally smirked and said, "If the Hidden Cloud Village finds out about this, they'll probably regret sending so few people in the first place."

Brubi has been trying to coexist with the Eight-Tails for three years, while Kushina has only been practicing the Nine-Tails' power for a few months and has already been able to use all three tails.

Perhaps the Uzumaki clan is truly the best vessel for tailed beasts, especially when combined with the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

"Haha~ If Kushina dares to send anyone else, she probably won't even need anyone else's help; she can handle it herself."

Jiraiya chuckled as he released the seal from the scroll in his hand, revealing a somewhat unconventional outfit. He said, "Alright, ma'am, please leave. I need to change my disciple's clothes."

"There are hospital gowns there."

Tsunade looked at the brightly colored clothes and felt a little sorry for them. She pointed to the cabinet next to her, but Jiraiya shook his head and said, "Hospital gowns are for hospitalized patients."

"If Minato were to be hospitalized after being treated by the two of you, wouldn't that tarnish your reputations? Besides, these clothes were just bought with my own money; they were quite expensive, it would be a shame not to wear them."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stopped speaking, only glancing at the unconscious Minato, who was unaware of the dangers of the ninja world, before turning and walking away.

Tatsuma didn't say much, after all, when it came to the unreliable teacher Jiraiya, he had to step aside, and his best friend was the leader.

After changing Minato's clothes, Jiraiya immediately picked him up and said, "By the way, do you need to do a head check-up? Just in case he has a concussion or something?"

"No need. Konoha Hospital only has CT scans, which can't detect concussions, only organic damage. I've already examined Minato for those. He just needs to be observed after he wakes up."

Rather than a concussion, I suspect he has a problem with his auditory nerve. Of course, besides that, you could help him get an appointment with a psychiatrist or psychiatrist to see if they can correct his naming habits.

Tatsuma quipped, shaking his head and muttering, "Lightning Release: Takemikazuchi Spiral Martial Hammer Second Style? What a lousy name."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to the names of his future children; they're sure to be interesting."

Jiraiya carried Minato toward the door, but as he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and turned back.

"Bang!"

Minato's head was slammed into the cabinet by his sudden movement, and Jiraiya quickly swung it to the other side.

"Thump~"

This time, instead of hitting the cabinet, it slammed against the wall. Tatsuma's lips twitched, and he said, "Jiraiya-sensei, Minato shouldn't have had a concussion, but now it's hard to say."

"It's okay. When he wakes up, I'll just say it's a side effect of Kushina's attack."

Jiraiya quickly calmed down from his initial panic, reached into his robes, pulled out a notebook, tossed it to Tatsuma, and said, "A short work I've been writing for the past three years has finally been published. Here's a signed copy for you."

Seeing that Jiraiya seemed a little unsure of himself, Tatsuma took the book and said earnestly, "I will read it carefully."

"It's not some kind of ninjutsu research; I'll just take a look and move on."

Jiraiya pushed open the door and left, while Tatsuma cleaned up the wound cleaning and suturing room. By the time he left, Tsunade and Orochimaru had already disappeared.

Chenma simply found a noodle stall by the roadside, ate a few bowls of noodles, and went home to train on his own.

Chenma can cook for himself, he could in his previous life, and he started cooking and bringing his own lunch even earlier in this life. However, he cooks less and less now because time and energy are becoming increasingly precious.

Although it's a matter of time, which can be resolved with ninjutsu like Shadow Clone Jutsu, the energy expenditure is unavoidable. Therefore, apart from eating at other people's restaurants, Tatsuma now prefers to eat out directly.

After all, ordering takeout not only means waiting longer, but you also have to clean up after eating.

Delicious food can indeed bring joy, but most people, once they reach a certain age, are able to control their cravings well. As long as eating provides nutrients and satisfies their hunger, they won't be unhappy.

After finishing his meal and returning home, Tatsuma didn't go to the neighbor's larger yard to train. He simply repeated some basic training. Although his chakra had almost fully recovered, he still needed to readjust some behavioral and combat habits.

In the evenings, she would go next door to eat. During this time, Tsunade's lifestyle had improved a lot, probably because of Mito Uzumaki's dying wish. It's unknown how long this will last.

With Nawaki and Kushina already there, and Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato often coming over, Tsunade simply brought Shizune over as well, along with the nanny who would take care of Shizune, to cook for everyone.

Chenma paid the money.

Minato and Jiraiya didn't come today. It's probably because Minato hasn't woken up yet, or maybe he's having some aftereffects and can't go out. Kushina was a little worried and felt guilty, but after hearing from Tsunade and Tatsuma that Minato was alright, her appetite returned.

After the meal, Tatsuma went back to his study to study. In addition to training in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu, he also needed to accumulate wisdom.

Intelligence and knowledge are key to increasing intelligence, since there is almost no way to further develop intelligence.

He didn't stay up late that night, since he had surgery the next day. Although Tatsuma didn't think it was difficult, the surgery was of great significance, so he wanted to be in the best possible condition.

On the second day at Konoha Hospital, when Tatsuma arrived, he found that Kato Dan's ward was already quite full of people, including Tsunade, Shizune, Orochimaru, the hospital director Sarutobi Biwako, and many doctors.

Also present were two of the most outstanding trainees from the new medical ninja training system, Jabami and Nono, who brought a large group of new trainees, some of whom couldn't even get into the wards and were waiting in the hallway.

"Dr. Sakamoto, do your best! The time has come to prove that we doctors are just as good as medical ninjas."

A surgeon whom Tatsuma vaguely remembered patted Tatsuma on the shoulder and said something. Before Tatsuma could answer, Tsunade's death stare swept over the doctor, and then she said:

"Tatsuma is my disciple."

Upon hearing this, the doctor realized his mistake and reluctantly withdrew his hand. Tatsuma, somewhat helplessly, walked up to Biwako and said, "Dean, there are too many people. Didn't we say we were converting the operating room to record the process?"

"I didn't ask them to come, but they insisted on coming anyway."

Biwako said helplessly, then waved her hand and said to the others, "Alright, everyone get out. With so many people gathered together, aren't you afraid the patients will suffocate?"

With Biwako's statement, the ward was much less crowded. Tatsuma watched as an anesthesiologist left and said, "Where's the anesthesiologist? Why did he run off too?"

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Orochimaru suddenly spoke, and a snake appeared in his hand. Tatsuma looked at the snake and then said, "This snake of yours doesn't meet the sterility standards."

Orochimaru was speechless at Tatsuma's words, and the snake also flicked its tongue in dissatisfaction.

Reluctantly, the anesthesiologist was called back. After thorough sterilization, Kato Dan finally lay on the operating table, and the anesthesiologist administered the anesthetic. Ichisuke Biwako and Nisuke Tsunade checked the surgical instruments.

Tatsuma squinted at Kato Dan, whose eyes were gradually losing focus, and said with a smile, "Sleep, Dan-senpai. When you wake up, you'll be a complete man again."

"No, no. If I do that, Tsunade won't take care of me anymore."

After saying that, Kato's words ceased to be discernible, sounding more like the babbling of a toddler learning to speak, before he fell into a deep sleep.

Tsunade, who was checking the number and types of scalpels, picked one up and said, "That bastard! Let me do it, I'll cut his heart and lungs out of him!"
