Medical Department

Although Tsunade promised to go back to Konoha, she walked very slowly and wasted a lot of time on the road.

Finally, Nagasawa arrived at Konoha a week later.

It was noon, so after Nagasawa went to the Hokage building, he went directly to Anbu Base, planning to deal with the piled-up work during the past week.

As soon as he entered Anbu base, he met Orochimaru, who was about to leave.

Orochimaru's eyes lit up when he saw Nagasawa, and he asked, "Nagasawa, have you finished reading the data I gave you? What do you think about it?"

Nagasawa recalled that Orochimaru did give him some paper about experiments before, but after discovering Tsunade's whereabouts at that time, he immediately went to find her.

"I haven't read it yet because I was on a mission. What about it?" Nagasawa asked.

Orochimaru froze in place.

He spent so much time wondering what Nagasawa's opinion would be for nothing?

"No problem, but I think we need to start the experiment as soon as possible." Orochimaru returned to his usual expression.

"That may be a bit difficult. I may be a little busy for the time, and I may not have much time." Nagasawa said.

Now that Tsunade had just returned to the village, Nagasawa had to keep an eye on Tsunade in order to prevent her from secretly running away.

In addition, it was time for Kakashi and the others to start the next phase of the training. It'd cover the advanced version of Six Powers and Haki.

However, Kakashi and the others also had their own Mission to do, so they had to juggle it with training.

These were all relatively important matters. On the other hand, Nagasawa still couldn't figure out what Orochimaru was planning, so he put aside the experiment for now.

Orochimaru:...

Why was Nagasawa so busy even though he was an Anbu Commander?

Wasn't Anbu Commnder just responsible for assigning missions?

Why was Nagasawa so busy and even went out to do missions?

In the end, Orochimaru did not say anything. Nagasawa was not his subordinate. In terms of position, Anbu Commander was still higher than an ordinary Squad Leader.

......

......

Tsunade brought Shizune back to her yard.

Looking at the familiar house, Tsunade couldn't help but recall some memories of her old days.

"Tsunade sama, this place is quite clean." Shizune said as she looked at the yard.

"Someone must have cleaned it up. I have been away for a while." Shizune's voice snapped Tsunade from her memories.

Indeed, someone had cleaned it up.

Before leaving, Nagasawa had told Minato to ask someone to clean up Tsunade's house in advance.

"What a boring thing to do. Does he think this will make me happy?" Tsunade expressed her disappointment.

However, Shizune had a different opinion.

"Tsunade-sama, if you think about it, Nagasawa is really kind to us. One hundred million Ryo for a year, and he treats us really well."

During a week of travel, Shizune had no complaint regarding Nagasawa's attitude.

On the contrary, Tsunade was like a spoiled child, always trying to trouble Nagasawa.

"Aw... Tsunade-sama, don't. I can't breathe."

Suddenly, Tsunade pressed Shizune's head against her chest while rubbing Shizune's head and said, "How did you betray me in just a week? You are actually siding with an outsider. I have to teach you a lesson."

"Cough cough." Nagasawa, who had just entered through the door, almost witnessed a murder case with someone's chest as a weapon, so he cleared his throat.

For the record, he had never seen anyone with a chest bigger and whiter than Tsunade.

"Hey, if it isn't Nagasawa-sama? What's wrong? Are you worried? Are you here to monitor me?" Tsunade let go of Shizune.

Tsunade once again teased Nagasawa.

"Since you call me Nagasawa-sama, then, of course, I am here to take care of you." Nagasawa directly ignored Tsunade's sarcasm and teased her back.

Nagasawa threw a scroll to Tsunade.

Tsunade took the scroll and opened it.

This was a proposal for the inclusion of Medical-nin on all four main squads and gave the medical-nin more equipment to intensify their training.

Tsunade looked at this and felt that it was a little familiar.

She quickly remembered that this was something she had mentioned at Jonin's meeting.

However, this proposal was rejected by the Third Hokage at that time.

The Third Hokage's reason at that time was they were in the middle of a war, and the enemy country would not give them so much time to train Medical-nin.

They were short on time, resources, and even knowledge.

At that time, Tsunade was frustrated when her proposal was rejected, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the Third Hokage was right. It was really not the right time.

However, this also reminded her of her first love, Dan Kato.

At that time, she proposed such a proposal at Jonin's meeting, but the Third Hokage and everyone else rejected it.

Dan Kato, on the other hand, shared her views.

The two of them got acquainted because of this, but not long after, Dan Kato...

"What's the point of doing this now? I'm no longer in the mood to do that." Tsunade shook his head.

Even if she were appointed as the person in charge of the new medical institution, it would only remind her those painful memories.

"If the greatest medical-nin Tsunade can't be the leader of the medical department, then who could? And isn't this what you always want to do?" Nagasawa said.

He still wanted Tsunade to occupy that position. He could perfect the training system of Konoha's Medical-nin while giving Tsunade something to do in her free time.

"That's what the past me want. The current me just wants to get through this year as fast as possible and take the 100 million Ryo." Tsunade said annoyedly.

Nagasawa began to reflect on his actions.

Was it because he was too forceful and humiliated her too much?

"Forget it." Nagasawa did not force her and planned to go back to tell Minato the result.

Before leaving, Nagasawa left this message.

"I once again apologize for taking you back to Konoha forcefully. If you want someone to blame, just blame it all on me. You're free to complain to me at any time. I don't mind. But don't involve Konoha, and don't blame Minato. After all, bringing you back was my idea."

Hating him wouldn't cause any loss to Nagasawa. Tsunade's return, in fact, had increased Prosperity a little.

However, if Tsunade became angry and completely severed her connection with Konoha, it would be a loss.

"I really don't know what's so good about this village. What's so good about being a Hokage? It's a fool's job."

After hearing Nagasawa's words, Tsunade couldn't help but curse.
