Since Tsunade said Haori's injury was troublesome, it really was troublesome. Although the treatment approach and methods were basically determined, Tsunade had dealt with similar injuries before. But a clear treatment method doesn't mean the process is simple. You can't skip any of the necessary steps.
In short, Haori's injury was caused by reckless behavior that led to limb necrosis. To heal it, it might be a bit much to say it's limb regeneration, but it's also very difficult for a 90% dead old tree to sprout new buds. It requires a lot of chakra to restore the cell activity of Haori's arm.
Only Tsunade, the top medical ninja in the entire ninja world, could be confident in doing this. And this is on the condition that Haori had already completed the nerve repair in his arm long ago.
Tsunade estimated that the entire treatment process would take about a month. So, Haori and Mirai would have to stay in the Land of Crafts for now.
"Can you feel any changes, Haori?"
The person who was so kind to treat Haori and ask him questions in detail… that would have to be Shizune. It was said that Tsunade was treating him, but most of the time, Shizune was responsible for the actual implementation.
Except for the essential parts that required the Slug Princess to do it herself, she was only responsible for guidance for the rest of the process. Shizune had to do the chores.
After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to have someone like Tsunade revolve around Haori day after day.
Tsunade still had things she needed to do. Haori understood. For an old woman who couldn't get married, she needed some hobbies to relieve her… Cough, in any case, Haori's matter wouldn't stop her from frequenting various casinos under the name "Fat Sheep."
So, Shizune, the nanny, was definitely a very miserable person. Imagine this: Tsunade, who was already forty-five years old, had been walking around with a twenty-five-year-old face, and she would occasionally act like a fifteen-year-old… If you were to consider taking care of Tsunade as a ninja mission, then the difficulty would definitely be classified as S-rank.
The saying, "Meeting Tsunade is a mistake for life," was true for Shizune. The future of someone who followed an older single woman could be easily described… She would also become an older single woman.
"The stinging pain has gradually disappeared." Haori replied.
With the healing chakra transmitted from the Healing Hands, Haori could feel that his injury was starting to heal. Judging from the conduction efficiency of the nerve signals in his arm alone, he was recovering.
This was something to be happy about. Chidori Flow: Three Steps was enough for Haori. He really didn't want to develop another taijutsu called "Melancholy Soul."
"That's good. After all, treating patients is the only time Tsunade-sama is reliable and not capricious."
Shizune didn't say this to complain. Or rather, it was more like a sigh of relief than a complaint.
In Shizune's heart, if Tsunade even made mistakes with medical ninjutsu, then she would become a pure "uncle." You could describe her with the words "what's the point of you?"
Gambling, drinking, wandering… If you gave Tsunade sunglasses, she would be the purest MADAO.
So, this child, Shizune, was really suffering…
"No matter what, Tsunade-sama's medical ninjutsu is still unquestionable." Haori's answer solidified Shizune's confidence. Her worries were unnecessary. She didn't even need survival skills. As long as Tsunade was still rocking that twenty-five-year-old face, she would never die. The Appearance Association would never allow such a thing to happen… The will of the great universe wouldn't allow it either.
Shizune seemed to realize that she had said too much. In any case, whether it was frustrating or heartwarming, to maintain Tsunade-sama's majestic image, it was best to say less about these complaints.
"How's Konoha been these past few years? I heard that the peace treaty with Iwagakure was signed a long time ago, and there's been a de facto ceasefire with Kumogakure."
So, she changed the subject.
You could practically consider the White Fang's invasion of Kumogakure as the end of the ninja world war. After that, the entire battlefield didn't have any major developments.
After this incident, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure achieved peace with each other. At the same time, Kirigakure even signed a peace treaty with Kumogakure.
The war wouldn't be fought anymore. But maybe they were just holding on, maybe it was for the sake of the great nations' reputation, or maybe it was other factors. Although the various countries had actually stopped fighting, Kumogakure and Konoha, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure, still hadn't signed a peace treaty. If you were to talk about it in terms of legal principles, these three countries were still at war.
"Konoha? The pressure of war is gone. But… no matter what, this village will always be a ninja village." Haori's sentence seemed to say nothing, yet it seemed to say everything.
What is a ninja village? A ninja village is one where ninjas always pop up to cause trouble. External wars are just one form of causing trouble.
If you don't cause trouble this way, then you cause trouble that way. In any case, they can't stay idle.
"Actually, I've been training in Shikkotsu Forest for the past few years. I just return to Konoha from time to time. But I can indeed feel that the village's atmosphere isn't very good."
The reason Haori returned to Konoha was to observe Naruto's condition and implement a course of treatment to strengthen him with electric shocks. If it weren't for this, Haori would be too lazy to return to the village during his training.
The Third Hokage could fulfill the promise he made to Haori. No matter what, he was still the Hokage. He had to keep his word… At least, he had to keep his word to someone like Haori.
As for whether the Hokage could outmaneuver Danzō? It would be a joke if he was really trying to.
But because his senjutsu training had reached its final stage, Haori's last return to Konoha was a year and a half ago. In that sense, Naruto was a bit happier than Mirai. After all, he had endured a lot less electric shocks.
And the result of Haori's training was probably the mark on his forehead. It looks like Tsunade's Yin Seal, and its function is indeed similar to Tsunade's.
Senjutsu training has requirements for a ninja's own chakra amount. In the absence of this basic condition, Haori could only adopt this method of accumulating chakra to take a detour on the path of training.
Overall, there are pros and cons.
Currently, Haori's treatment needs to last for more than three hours every day. This high-intensity treatment is definitely a huge burden for Shizune. It's not that she feels like her body is being drained. Her body is actually being drained…
Mirai wasn't here during this time. First, it's best not to interrupt the treatment. Second, it's too difficult and cruel to make a little kid sit quietly for three hours.
So, the question is, where did she go?
The answer made Haori feel uneasy.
First, Tsunade disappeared. There's a 98.88% chance she went to the casino.
Second, she brought Mirai with her.
So, the bad habits inherited from the First Hokage are so deeply rooted that they can't be broken from generation to generation?
......
Fortunately, thanks to Haori's education, Mirai wasn't attracted to "gambling," a healthy activity for both mind and body. She was willing to follow Tsunade because she had her own little plan.
Tsunade brought Mirai back. The little girl was already asleep.
And Tsunade had a look of pain on her face, as if she had lost a valuable heir.
She handed Mirai back to Haori as she said, "I really thought she was interested in gambling. Who knew this little guy was constantly hinting at me to teach her medical ninjutsu."
Too young. How could a child's psychology hide from a strange old woman… Cough, an experienced ninja like Tsunade?
"Probably, she thinks that once she learns medical ninjutsu, she can help heal your injury herself."
"Too bad. This child has quite a talent for gambling."
Not at all, too bad. One fat sheep is enough in this world.
No matter what, Tsunade could always feel a sense of déjà vu in Mirai. When she held the child, she felt like she was holding Haori…
Mirai's personality was neither like the gentle Minato nor the violent Kushina. Instead, she was like a smaller version of the Haori Tsunade had seen as a child.
It's gotta be said, that's very incongruous.
