This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 93 The Price of Acting

A series of hissing sounds could be heard from the luxurious suite of Yunjuan Tangsu.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle! Be gentle!"

Nishikawa Tetsu lay face down on the bed, his upper body naked, his back covered with various ointments.

Mizuki Uzumaki was kneeling by the bed, carefully changing his dressing, her red eyes filled with worry and guilt.

"Che-jun, I'm sorry... Was my hand too rough?"

"No, it's not your problem." Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand weakly.

"Lady Tsunade's punch was too heavy... That punch almost turned my spine to dust."

Ever since Tsunade exposed her deception that day, the enraged and humiliated Superhuman Princess pinned Nishikawa Tetsu to the ground and gave him a thorough beating.

Although he didn't use his full strength, for a researcher with only the physical abilities of a Chunin, this was already an unbearable burden.

As a result, Nishikawa Tetsu, who had been faking illness, actually stayed in bed for half a month this time.

"However, the good news is that Lady Tsunade's hemophobia has really been cured."

Nishikawa Tetsu comforted himself, "The principle of the Yin Seal is now in my grasp, so this beating... was worth it."

"Che-jun, please don't take such risks next time." Mei-yue's eyes were red, and her voice was trembling with tears.

She pulled up her sleeves and stretched out her arm to Nishikawa Tetsuya: "Why don't you take a bite? Your injury will heal quickly."

"Your habit of letting people bite your arm all the time is bad. Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled and was about to reach out to touch Mizuki's head when he aggravated the wound on his back, causing him to wince in pain again.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Sister! Sister! Look what I caught!"

A vibrant voice rang out, and then Kana Uzumaki burst in like a small cannonball, holding a colorful butterfly in her hand.

Following behind her was Xiao Jingyin, who was also excitedly holding Tuntun in her arms.

"Kana, slow down!" Mizuki quickly got up, wiping away her tears. "Che-kun is still recovering from his injuries."

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Kana then realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth, her big eyes looking at Nishikawa Tetsuya like a child who had done something wrong.

After half a month of recuperation, coupled with Tsunade's treatment, Kana is no longer recognizable as someone who was on the verge of death.

Her complexion was rosy, and her originally dry, yellowish red hair had become shiny. She looked like a little sun that had been recharged.

"It's alright. Seeing how energetic you are makes me feel relieved."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the child he had pulled back from the brink of death, and felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

"By the way, where is Lady Tsunade?"

"Lady Tsunade is outside," Shizune replied obediently.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Tsunade strode in.

She held a bottle of wine in her hand, her face flushed with a slight buzz, and seemed to be in a good mood—probably because she had multiplied the money she earned from Nishikawa Tetsu in the casino several times over in the past two weeks, although she had lost it all in the end.

"Hey kid, you're still alive?"

Tsunade glanced at Nishikawa Tetsu, who was lying on the bed, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive," Nishikawa Tetsu said irritably.

"Hmph, serves him right."

Tsunade walked up to Mizuki and her gaze fell on her arms, which were exposed by her rolled-up sleeves.

There, the dense, old teeth marks were still clearly visible, crawling all over the fair skin like centipedes, a shocking sight.

"Come here." Tsunade beckoned.

Mizuki glanced at Nishikawa Tetsuya with some fear, and only after seeing the latter nod did she timidly walk over.

Tsunade didn't ask anything, she just stretched out her hand, a soft green light emanating from her palm, and gently covered the scars.

"Ninja Art: Minor Ailment Extraction Technique"

As the chakra flowed, the originally dark brown scars began to fade at a visible rate, eventually disappearing completely, leaving only a layer of light pink new flesh.

"this……"

Mizuki stared wide-eyed in disbelief as she looked at her arms, now smooth and free again.

These scars accompanied her for years, the root of her nightmares, and a mark of her inferiority complex.

Now, it's just gone like that?

"Thank you... thank you, Lady Tsunade!" Mizuki was so excited that she almost knelt down again.

"No need." Tsunade grabbed her arm, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"These are just external wounds; the emotional wounds will take time to heal."

She found a chair, sat down, took a sip of wine, and looked at Mizuki and Kana.

"Tell me, how did you end up in this state?"

Mizuki remained silent for a moment, then lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"We...we escaped."

"Escape? From where?"

"Grass Ninja Village."

Upon hearing these three words, Nishikawa Tetsu thought of Uzumaki Karin. Could one of these sisters be Uzumaki Karin's mother?

Meiyue gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"My father and mother fled from the Land of Whirlpools with us, intending to go to the Land of Fire to seek refuge with relatives. However, we were discovered by the Grass Ninja at the border."

"They...they discovered our constitution."

Mizuki raised her head, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

A single bite can restore chakra and heal injuries, making them like mobile blood packs for ninjas from small countries who are at war.

"My father was killed while protecting us, and my mother... she was captured and bitten by more than a dozen people every day."

The room was deathly silent.

Although Nishikawa Tetsu had already guessed what was going on, hearing about this tragedy firsthand still sent chills down his spine.

this is the truth.

Weakness is the original sin.

If you fall behind, you will be attacked.

Tsunade tightened her grip on the bottle, her knuckles cracking.

"And then?" Tsunade's voice was somewhat low.

"Later... my mother risked her life to create chaos, allowing me to escape with Kana."

Mizuki wiped away her tears.

"We fled all the way, afraid to use chakra and afraid to reveal our identities, until... until we met Che-kun."

She looked at Nishikawa Tetsu gratefully.

If it weren't for this seemingly cold, but actually... well, a bit cold but very reliable young man, the two sisters would probably be wandering ghosts by now.

"Grass Ninja Village..."

Tsunade sneered, her eyes flashing with killing intent.

"A bunch of hyenas who only know how to take advantage of others' misfortunes."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky outside.

"Now that you're following this brat, you're Konoha's people. Anyone who dares to touch you again is going against me, Tsunade."

This is not just a promise, but a form of protection.

With this statement from one of the Legendary Sannin, Mizuki and Kana's safety in Konoha was assured.

"Okay, stop crying."

Nishikawa Tetsu broke the heavy atmosphere.

"The past cannot be changed, but the future is in your own hands."

He pointed to the two sisters.

"While your constitution has brought you disaster, it is also a talent. As long as you can control it, you can become powerful ninjas."

"Really?" Kana's eyes sparkled, and Mizuki also snapped out of her sadness upon hearing this.

"Of course. And..."

Nishikawa Tetsu glanced at Tsunade, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Look, your teacher is right here. If you can learn Tsunade-sama's skills, then if anyone dares to bite you, you can just punch them and knock their teeth out!"

"Yes! I want to learn, I want to protect my sister, I want to knock out all the bad guys' teeth!" Kana waved her little fists, looking both cute and fierce.

Tsunade was amused and annoyed: "You little brat, are you trying to find me a disciple or just cause me trouble?"

"This is called the rational use of resources. Don't forget that I am your creditor now," Nishikawa Tetsu said matter-of-factly.

He paid for all the damaged streets and buildings himself, and this woman doesn't know when to hold back!

"How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, would I have caused such massive destruction?"

Nishikawa Tetsu clicked his tongue and stared at Tsunade with an innocent look.

"Alright."

Tsunade couldn't stand being stared at, and Shizune also needed a playmate of the same age, especially since this child was a member of Mito's clan.

"Since this little girl gets along well with Jingyin, let her learn from Jingyin first. If she has any talent, I don't mind giving her a few pointers."

"Very good!"

The two little girls cheered and hugged each other.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Nishikawa Tetsu smiled.

Even in this cruel world, there is still a bit of warmth.
