"Nice to meet you all. Starting today, I am the captain of this Medical Squad, Gisei Shiraishi. Please take care of me from now on."
Gisei looked at the two rows of Medical Squad members standing in front of him and gave a brief self-introduction.
There were a total of eight members in the Medical Squad. Apart from Tsunade, he basically didn't know any of them.
Gisei was slightly surprised that Tsunade was furthering her studies here. He had thought this woman was self-taught, but it turned out she also had formal training.
"First of all, thank you all for welcoming me to the post. Next, roll call..."
After the roll call, once he had a general impression of the squad members, he dismissed them.
Gisei returned to his former office in the hospital.
The office had completely changed in appearance, filled everywhere with the scent of a young woman.
Gisei sighed.
Ever since he left the hospital, this office had become the exclusive domain of Nonō Yakushi. She was also the Medical Squad captain who had just left the post.
He didn't have much prejudice against the woman; she was just obeying Danzo's orders.
Speaking of which, after returning to Konoha, Danzo seemed to have completely vanished. Not a single piece of news about him could be heard in the village. He was probably hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries.
Gisei sat in the office, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.
He had only taken two puffs when the office door was kicked open.
Tsunade strode in.
Gisei felt helpless. Tsunade had a bad temper and a poor attitude, but he couldn't do anything about her. After all, in terms of background, Tsunade was even stronger than him.
"Gisei Shiraishi, a patient has arrived."
"Tsunade, you're deliberately looking for trouble, aren't you? If a patient has arrived, can't you go treat them? Do I, the captain, have to go?"
"What did you say? Don't think that just because you're the captain, you can look down on everyone. I'm telling you, people without ability will be driven out of here sooner or later."
Tsunade smashed her fist onto the desk, and several cracks instantly appeared on the wood.
Gisei stood up helplessly. "Okay... okay okay... say whatever you want. Anyway, it's just talk."
Arriving at the ward, Gisei saw the patient. Two medical ninjas were already treating him.
There was a long wound across his chest and abdomen, with flesh rolled back—a shocking sight.
"Captain, this one was just brought in. He was slashed like this with a blade. If we don't treat him quickly, his life might be in danger."
Seeing him arrive, the two medical ninjas explained and stepped aside to make room.
Tsunade stood to the side with her arms crossed, a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
Gisei sighed and extended a finger to touch the wound.
The unique green glow of medical ninjutsu lit up at his fingertip. His finger slid slowly down along the wound.
Two minutes later, Gisei retracted his finger and said, "Done."
The patient touched the wound a couple of times, his face full of surprise. "It's healed just like that?"
As he spoke, he tried to get out of bed, but suddenly collapsed onto the floor.
The two medical ninjas hurriedly helped him up.
"Don't get excited. The wound is healed, but your body will have a period of weakness for a few days. Just stay in the hospital and rest."
After speaking, Gisei threw Tsunade an eye-roll and turned to leave.
Tsunade was dumbfounded watching him heal the patient just by sliding his finger across the wound.
What kind of medical ninjutsu was this? A type she had absolutely never seen before.
After Gisei left, she hurriedly went forward to examine the patient.
After a flurry of activity, Tsunade looked at the physical report in her hand and fell into deep thought.
The medical ninjutsu Gisei used was undoubtedly extremely fast-acting. It was just that the patient's body was now incredibly weak.
She knew that after receiving the blade wound, this patient had run to the hospital himself. But now, let alone running, even walking two steps would probably be difficult.
Overdrawing the patient's body to accelerate healing?
Tsunade once again pushed open the door to Gisei's office.
"What medical ninjutsu did you use?"
Gisei lit a cigarette, took a leisurely puff, and asked back, "Why should I tell you?"
This bastard!
Tsunade smashed the office door into fragments with a single punch.
The cigarette in Gisei's hand fell to the ground...
This woman was simply too arrogant!
Some people who rushed over after hearing the commotion saw this scene and kept their mouths shut, not daring to make a sound.
The new Medical Squad captain versus the Hokage's disciple... Front row seats to the show.
Gisei forcibly suppressed his urge to fight and left the hospital expressionlessly.
Inside the Hokage's office, Gisei began to list Tsunade's crimes in detail.
The Third puffed on his pipe, a look of helplessness on his face. If he could control Tsunade, her temper wouldn't be so violent.
"Gisei, you go back first. I'll call Tsunade over later..."
Before the Third could finish speaking, the main door of the Hokage's office was kicked open.
Tsunade walked in, bringing Orochimaru and Jiraiya with her.
The pipe in the Third's hand fell onto the desk with a clatter...
Tsunade: "No need to call, I'm already here."
Orochimaru had a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Seems like something very interesting has happened."
Jiraiya had a face full of mischievous smiles. "Do you need us to help mediate for you?"
Seeing the three of them come in together, Gisei understood.
These three guys teamed up to deliberately look for trouble? Even without the matter of that patient, Tsunade probably would have found another excuse to explode.
Gisei looked at the Third with a dark face. The Third had just picked up his pipe when Gisei's look made his heart tremble.
"Tsunade... it's time you changed your temper. You caused such a scene on his very first day, what will others think?!"
"Let them think whatever they want!"
The Third felt a headache coming on. "What exactly do you want?"
A smile appeared on Tsunade's face. After secretly exchanging glances with her two companions, she quickly said, "Even if his medical ninjutsu level is very high, I won't acknowledge this kind of guy."
"If he wants me to acknowledge him, he must show his strength!"
Gisei's head was full of black lines. Who exactly spoiled her into this bad habit of wanting to fight without saying a second word?
Is this the severe beating one must undergo when moving from the dark into the light?
These three guys were simply his nemesis. They beat him up when they were in the Ninja Academy, and even now they still wanted to beat him up.
He was really being looked down upon!
Thinking of this, Gisei thoroughly lost his temper and said expressionlessly, "Follow me!"
Hearing Gisei agree, the Third's headache got worse.
He was also roughly aware that the relationship between his three apprentices and Gisei was a bit subtle.
Gisei, who had been dead last since childhood, couldn't even compare to Jiraiya. Suddenly one day, this "dead-last" became her superior; it would be strange if someone like Tsunade didn't go crazy.
Moreover, what he said yesterday implicitly meant that Tsunade couldn't compare to Gisei. If Tsunade didn't take the opportunity to teach Gisei a lesson, she wouldn't be Tsunade.
Pouring oil on the fire, the Third thought miserably.
