Chapter 588 Hidden
He knew that hiding himself from someone like the Hokage was almost impossible.
Tsunade carried Zhang Hai straight to the door of a ward, then abruptly threw him in front of a patient. The patient was pale and covered in wounds, clearly having just been carried off the battlefield.
Tsunade crossed her arms and coldly commanded, "Since you advocate for the vigorous development of medical ninjutsu, then it'll start with you! From now on, you'll stand here and watch carefully! If you can't learn it, watch out for my fists!" As she spoke, she clenched her fists, making a series of "crack" sounds.
Zhang Hai watched Tsunade's fluid medical ninjutsu with immense admiration. He understood that Tsunade's temper was a "common trait of capable people"—the more outstanding a person's abilities, the more arrogant they often become. Therefore, he felt no resentment whatsoever; on the contrary, he was willing to learn from her.
Tsunade had originally planned to find an excuse to give this "cunning brat" in front of her a good beating and vent her anger.
However, in the process of teaching Zhang Hai, Tsunade found that she couldn't find any excuses at all. Whether it was his exquisite mastery of chakra nature transformation or the unique characteristics of medical ninjutsu that distinguished it from traditional ninjutsu, Zhang Hai could grasp it immediately and apply it to other situations. His learning speed was simply beyond Tsunade's imagination.
In a short time, Zhang Hai was able to help and begin treating some simple injuries. His training speed was considered a "miracle of medical ninjas" by Tsunade, and it made her truly realize that this seemingly glib-tongued brat was actually a true genius.
Zhang Hai can create a small scalpel in his hand by manipulating chakra. The blade is formed from condensed chakra and is sharp and fine, just like a real scalpel.
This chakra scalpel can easily remove foreign objects from a patient's skin and flesh with precision and speed. The surgery is often completed before the patient even feels pain, making it highly effective and significantly reducing patient suffering.
Through studying medical ninjutsu, Zhang Hai gained a deeper understanding of the human body, especially the bones and meridians, and their specific connections to the brain. He realized that severing certain meridians or bone connections could instantly render a person immobile. This led him to conclude that mastering medical ninjutsu is a long and arduous process, requiring years of accumulation and practice.
After calming herself down, Tsunade looked at Zhang Hai earnestly, a hint of expectation in her eyes. "Zhang Hai, have you ever considered switching careers to become a medical ninja?"
While skillfully treating the injured, Zhang Hai nonchalantly replied, "Anything's fine, Lady Tsunade. It just depends on whether the teacher is willing to release them." He was referring to White Fang.
Zhang Hai secretly hoped to stay in the hospital, spending his days researching medical ninjutsu, slacking off, and saving lives. This would be completely safe, and it would be much safer to go out and improve his strength after the war. However, he knew Hatake Sakumo's personality well; someone like White Fang would never agree to this.
Tsunade understood that since Sakumo Hatake had already honed himself into a formidable "sword," she wouldn't leave him to languish in the hospital. However, Zhang Hai's displayed medical talent did indeed tempt her.
Ultimately, Tsunade decided to use a "cramming" approach to educate Zhang Hai. She directly ordered him: "For the next few days, don't go anywhere. Stay in the hospital and learn from me!"
After a day of studying, Zhang Hai was exhausted. He lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. Although the chakra consumption of medical ninjutsu was not high, the mental concentration and precise execution had left him utterly exhausted.
Tsunade then took out the small, transparent bottle she had won from Zhang Hai earlier, which was filled with a red liquid. She brought the bottle to her eyes and began to examine the poison inside.
Zhang Hai lay on the ground, weakly telling Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, I obtained this poison in Sunagakure. It is made from the combination of extracts from two non-toxic flower buds. Individually, they are not toxic, but once combined, they become highly poisonous. Moreover, it is extremely well-concealed, colorless and odorless."
Out of curiosity, Tsunade dipped her finger in a drop of poison and put it in her mouth.
"Hey!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Hai suddenly sat up and reminded her in surprise, "Lady Tsunade, I don't have the antidote!" He didn't expect Tsunade to be so bold as to taste the poison directly.
After casually tasting the poison, Tsunade savored it for a moment, a playful smile appearing on her face. She commented, "It certainly has no taste." She paused, a hint of appreciation in her voice, "However, there's a lingering fragrance in the mouth. This fragrance... it must be from Bauhinia and Mimosa. Hmm, not bad, the toxicity is alright."
Seeing with his own eyes that Tsunade not only survived the poison unscathed but also accurately analyzed its components, Zhang Hai immediately gave her a thumbs up and shamelessly flattered her: "As expected of Lady Tsunade, truly amazing! I was so ignorant; this kind of poison is nothing compared to yours!"
Tsunade was unmoved by the flattery. A barely perceptible smile played on her lips as she produced another bottle of red liquid—the very one Zhang Hai had warned her about earlier. Looking at the liquid, she asked Zhang Hai, "What kind of poison is this?"
Zhang Hai's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly reminded her, "Lady Tsunade, this bottle cannot be ingested!" He explained, "This bottle contains a mixture of five deadly poisons: rattlesnake, golden scorpion, man-eating ant, poisonous spider, and death worm. It is extremely potent and causes immediate death upon contact with blood!"
Upon hearing about these highly poisonous substances, Tsunade's expression subtly changed. She indeed refrained from attempting to ingest them, instead finding several vials of reagents and beginning serious research.
She poured the red poison into different test tubes, and after a while, the test tubes displayed various colors, including black, purple, blue, and green. Based on these color changes, Tsunade began analyzing the composition and toxicity of the poison. About half an hour later, a completely new, clear liquid formed in a test tube, indicating that she had once again cracked the red poison.
Watching Tsunade's actions, Zhang Hai secretly judged: Tsunade's poison-making skills are still unclear, but her antidote skills are definitely top-notch! Because there is no antidote for these two bottles of poison in Sunagakure, at least that's what Sasori said.
After dealing with two bottles of poison in a row, Tsunade seemed to have become interested. She put down the test tube and asked Zhang Hai, "Do you have any more poison? Take them all out!" Her eyes gleamed with excitement, as if she had encountered some interesting challenge.
Zhang Hai shook his head with a wry smile, indicating that there was nothing more.
