Ch 26 : Tsunade apprenticeship (2)

Kakashi's farce didn't really affect the mood of Tenma that much. Rather, he now had a rough estimate of his strength compared to his companion.

If it weren't for Kakashi, he would think that though he was stronger, he still wasn't that far from his peers. But now, he could subtly understand the gap between them, and as long as he didn't fall into the opponent's trick, there should be no problem for him.

Though at this time, a voice came from the side:

' Being confident is good, but being overconfident might hurt you in the long run.'

Tenma didn't even need to look to know whose voice it was. Being locked about three years with him, he was very familiar with Law's voice.

' So, where have you been?'

Tenma asked, but he didn't even bat an eye as he didn't want to attract curiosity from his surrounding.

' Not too far. I'm just curious about this village. Nonetheless, never be too overconfident. Even though you are stronger than your peers, I could see this world is far from simple. Especially the guys with red eyes. I don't know why, but I once see a pretty strong guy fall just in one look.'

' Um.'

Tenma nodded, and he took Law's advice by heart. These sentences made him a bit curious about the guy with red eyes that Law mentioned.

Unfortunately, this time Law didn't discover too much. And Tenma can only ask his question later to his uncle when he has the opportunity.

In the meantime, Tsunade has already developed the next training program for Tenma. Though she truthfully was forced into this, she was not yet the shameless old woman in the future and still held her words true.

She talked to Tenma about the training that he needed to do, and Tenma naturally followed her arrangement.

The three years of training in that strange world had made Tenma realize he had almost hit his limit at physical strength. And now, he wanted to learn more about Chakra to uplift his strength.

Just as Tenma continued to follow Tsunade to her workplace, he was already able to vaguely guess where Tsunade would be taking him.

Sure enough, just like what Tenma had expected, the place Tsunade brought him was none other than the ninja hospital.

It had crossed Tenma's mind since the test was also about medical jutsu. Just like Tamaguchi, Tsunade's practice should also mostly be about medical ninjutsu.

The second Shinobi World War was over a few years ago. Nonetheless, The Ninja World is still in chaos, and countless wounded people are sent to the ninja hospital every day for help.

The growing number of casualties has made the number of doctors and medics became scarce. And because of the shortage of Medical-nin, a lot of wounded people have not been treated in the ninja hospital and died in the hospital bed.

Tsunade took Tenma to work at the ninja hospital for two reasons.

The first reason is to teach Tenma more advanced knowledge about medical jutsu, as learning the more advanced technique also need a lot of practice.

The second was to familiarize herself with Tenma before she ought to teach him her combat jutsus.

Then, when Tsunade took Tenma to the hospital, she just assigned a room for him before speaking lightly:

"Kid, after the last test, I could see you have some understanding of medical ninjutsu and could even treat some wounded people. However, you must not underestimate the severity of life. If you don't understand what to do, you must ask for help in time. Don't treat a person's life as practice, do you know?"

"I know, Sensei."

After hearing the words of Tsunade, Tenma gave a heavy nod and smiled. There is no contradiction in his heart regarding Tsunade's opinion.

Looking at this Tsunade somehow had a relief. At the very least, this kid's heart wasn't as black as that guy who treated ninjas as nothing more than tools.

' Maybe, it's not that bad of an idea to take him as her disciple.'

Unconsciously Tsunade's impression of Tenma had risen a little.

But unknown to Tenma, the impression might not raise only a little if not for the fact that Tsunade had caught him ogling her assets at least once every five seconds.

Soon, Tsunade and Tenma began to work.

When Tsunade arranged the patient for Tenma, she sat down next to him and carefully observed Tenma treating every wounded person.

Though Tsunade began to develop a fear of blood, it was not up to the point where she would faint once she saw a small scratch on a person.

In the beginning, the wounded who came to Tenma for treatment here were just some skin injuries. A skin injury like this has no difficulty for Tenma.

He did not even need the knowledge he learned from Law as he could use his Medical-Ninjutsu to treat the other side's injury.

It was only over time that even Tenma couldn't help but have some sweat on his forehead.

Three hours into the work, he finally got into trouble.

The ninja who came to him, though most of them only had skin injuries, never stopped, and he had not even had the time to rest.

Furthermore, Tsunade kept watching him from the side and had not given him any indication to rest yet, as if she wanted to work him to death.

' I know it.. the more beautiful a woman, the more poisonous she is…'
