Stepping on the underground steps of Konoha Hospital again, I was still a little emotional.

I didn't expect that since he was kicked out of the medical class by Tsunade six or seven years ago, he would be able to come back one day.

Although it was an invitation from Tsunade, Makoto walked silently forward under the leadership of a medical ninja, and everyone who knew him couldn't help but have a strange look on their faces.

"Please come this way." Rina Kato said as she leaned sideways and motioned for Makoto to follow her.

Among the people with strange looks is this female ninja who has been by the side of the thousand-handed princess for many years, Makoto still remembers that when she was studying medical ninjutsu in the medical class, it was this Dai Tsunade who taught it, and there were many basic questions, and it was also the doubts she answered for Makoto.

A few years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he was still a docile and well-behaved little apprentice, but now he is a significant figure in the village, and the murderous name of "evil ghost", Kato has heard of it even in the Konoha medical class far away from the battlefield.

The relationship between the two ended at politeness, no matter how Kato sighed in his heart, when Tsunade's office appeared in front of him, after many years, the brief meeting between the two ended here.

"Please come in." Tsunade's warm and pleasant voice.

At the signal of Miss Kato, Makoto pushed the door and entered.

As expected, the Thousand-Hand Princess, who may be rude, but who is hearty and friendly to most of the people in the village, immediately sank her face when she saw Makoto.

"Chengjun, sit down."

With a faint greeting in the tone of "My mother just hates you", Tsunade clasped his hands around and watched Makoto sit on the sofa from the chair behind the desk.

The couch on the side was slightly low, and Tsunade looked at Makoto with a condescending gaze for a moment.

This Uchiha youth was silent, his hands on his knees, his back straight, his posture polite and calm, and he did not look uncomfortable in this somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Tsunade suddenly remembered that the first time the two met many years ago, Makoto was so quiet, but compared to today's calmness, he showed a kind of crampedness when he was a child.

Just the right amount of crampedness.

Being sarcastic can also show embarrassment, but this embarrassment is undoubtedly to please the person who satirizes him, and when questioned, he can lower his posture in the face of anyone in the medical class, sensitive and cautious, and from that time, Tsunade noticed the child's extraordinary forbearance. Despite this, when facing Tsunade, her docile and polite attitude managed to lower her vigilance.

This is just one of them, the diligence and talent shown by the young Makoto makes Tsunade, who hates him, sometimes forget this, after all, what teacher doesn't like the best students he has ever taught?

But neither of these points is the main thing, or it is not an exaggeration to say that Makoto's flattery and diligence have nothing to do with Tsunade teaching him medical ninjutsu.

"Chengjun, long time no see."

"I met at Elder Szen's funeral a month ago, Tsunade-sama."

"I still hate you."

"......" Cheng was dumbfounded, thinking that he shouldn't tease this, for some reason, in the face of Tsunade, he always had a little inexplicable sense of closeness, and couldn't help but want to break his mouth. Maybe it's because in my previous life, my impression of this woman was too distinct, even if she had a bad attitude, she never changed.

Tsunade stared at Makoto coldly, and said without detouring: "Makoto Uchiha, do you remember the World War II rain ninja battlefield?" ”

The atmosphere between the two became tense almost instantly, Makoto's eyes were slightly cold, and Tsunade did not give an inch, with a little provocation in his eyes.

After a moment, Makoto relaxed his body and stopped looking at Tsunade, but his gaze did not leave her face, and he spoke, "Tsunade-sama said that, what do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting," Tsunade paused, and said coldly, "The people I hate the most in my life are traitors who betray their partners on the battlefield, and nothing else, if such a person appears in my troops, it is bound to be killed quickly." ”

"Oh......" is noncommittal, and listens to the following.

"Remember when I told you about the rope tree, right? After his death, I tried my best to implement the medical unit system in the village, but when I found the opportunity to come up with this idea, it was at the height of the Second Shinobi War, and everyone was too busy with the war to think about the advantages of this system, and only one person stood up to support me-"

At the mention of that person, Tsunade's expression unconsciously darkened, and that day, in the entire wartime convention, only one person stood up to approve of her plan, but unfortunately it had little effect. Although she later figured out the trick and helped her win the plan to try out the medical unit system under her command first, it was a pity...... It's still late......

Sensing his gaffe, Tsunade paused, and continued pretending to be nothing: "At the end of World War II, because of the lack of medical ninjas, many people who shouldn't have died died because they couldn't get timely help......"

Including that person...... If she had insisted a little more at that time, and explained to the three generations more of her preparations for this, maybe he would not have died......

"Therefore, it has become my dream to implement the medical unit system in the village so that the tragedy does not happen again."

Tsunade said slowly, not as if she was talking too much, but in an instant, the shrewd and capable Princess Thousand Hands returned, she stared at Makoto, combed her hair with her left hand, and said with just the right amount of reserve:

"At this point, I have a lot of affection from the Uchiha."

Suddenly, the incident was not pursued at the beginning, and it was not enough to just protect the family and the Great Elder, and as the top boss of Makoto's unit, Tsunade's attitude played a key role.

Thinking of Tsunade's recent joint actions with Orochimaru, Makoto groaned for a moment and asked knowingly, "So, what does Tsunade-sama want to say?" ”

Tsunade smiled slightly, "Orochimaru recently joined the Ninja Revolution Association, and I am very interested in the prospects of the technology circulation he described......"

Makoto just sneered, and just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Tsunade: "But just by talking about it, I want Makoto's support, and I can't help but underestimate Makoto." ”

The announcement of this matter is naturally a great blow to Makoto's prestige, but the so-called prestige is based on strength, and there are many strong people in the ninja world who have a bad reputation, and there are many in each village, Makoto is not a white fang, and it seems naïve to threaten him with this, who are Tsunade and Orochimaru? Such a low-level mistake would not be made in any case.

She smiled even sweeter, but the malice in her smile was about to overflow: "About two years ago...... I can't remember the specific day, but I remember that afternoon, the hospital was very lively. ”

As soon as the conversation turned, Tsunade seemed to say something irrelevant: "Before the excitement of the day came, I received a very special patient. ”
