Chapter 61: Iâm Just Paying Back What My Sensei Owes!
Hearing the Shizuneâs words, Uehara couldnât help but look at the woman sitting opposite him, âTsunade-senpai is the most famous medical ninja in the Ninja world, could you check him please?â
âShizuneâs medical skills are no different from mine.â
Tsunade shook her head, glanced at Kimimaro, and whispered, âIf Shizune couldnât do anything about it, I too wonât be able to propose an effective medical plan.â
Due to her current situation, she couldnât do it.
Uehara nodded, stood up, and bowed seriously to Shizune, âAlthough I was mentally prepared for this, I still have to thank Shizune-sanâŠâ
Uehara did not have high expectations of Tsunade.
Orochimaru was a great scientist who integrated ninjutsu, forbidden arts, medical treatment, physics, biology, theology, and chemistry, yet he was still unable to deal with Kimimaroâs illness.
Tsunade, a ninja who specialized in medical ninjutsu, was unlikely to cure him.
Even worse, Tsunade was still a patient with hemophobia.
Sure enough, the probability was too low.
Seeing Ueharaâs actions, Kimimaro also bowed respectfully towards Shizune, âThank you, Shizune-san, I am very gratefulâŠâ
One should always respect a doctor who tries to rescue a patient.
Shizune looked at him awkwardly and stopped their bows, and whispering, âPlease donât do this. We failed to propose a treatment plan. I can only make one suggestion. We should supplement some of the necessary nutrients in his body.â
âWait here. Iâll write it down.â
Uehara shook his head, pointed to the pile of money left in front of him, and whispered, âIâll leave as Shizune-san consultation fee!â
Shizune hurriedly rejects him, âI canât possibly accepâŠâ
Tsunade slam her fist and said with dissatisfaction, âHey, kid, this is the money weâre using to gamble!â
Tsunadeâs mind was incomprehensible!
To get into gambling dens, she would always borrow money then subsequently hide from her debtors. Seeing Uehara trying to give money to her, and she insisted on forcing Uehara to continue gambling and properly lose the money to her.
âSorry, Tsunade-senpai, we were in a hurry.â
Uehara chuckled and looked at Shizune and said, âTsunade-senpai is always losing money. Life must be tough, right? Shizune-san, I will give it to you to cover the two of youâs living expenses!â
Tsunade, hearing these words, filled with anger: âHey, Uehara, do you think weâre here to beg?!â
Uehara shook his head, looked at Tsunade with a sullen face, and explained earnestly, âBack then, my sensei was lucky enough to receive a favor from Tsunade-senpai, so this is our compensation!â
Tsunadeâs expression turned complicated.
She didnât expect Uehara to says that.
She wanted to find the little devilâs sensei who taught a disciple who knew how to repay a favor.
âOne day, when I see the Ueharaâs sensei, could I borrow some money or somethingâŠ.â
Sometimes, Tsunade was more honest than anyone else.
Sometimes, she had no discipline whatsoever.
Uehara bid farewell politely then turned and left with Kimimaro.
Tsunade looked at the distant figures with regret and exclaimed, âApart from grandpa, he was the first person I managed to have fun withâŠâ
âTsunade-sama, he not an adult yet!â
Shizune said and put away the money with black lines on her face.
Shizune had a good impression of Uehara due to his generosity, âThat little guy was nice. He repaid kindness Tsunade-sama showed his sensei, so he deliberately lost to Tsunade-sama the last two days.â
Tsunade immediately felt dissatisfied with Shizuneâs words and hit her head, âWhat are you talking about? I won it from him fair and square!â
Shizune clutched her head and frantically agreed with her words, âYes, yesâŠâ
âBut that kid was really interestingâŠâ
Tsunade touched the corners of her lips, and chuckled, âShizune, do you really think that anyone who gives you money is good? That Orochimaru guy used to lend me money, and he never took the initiative to ask for it back!â
One and a half hours later.
Uehara and Kimimaro finally reached the team.
Everyone in the team understood the result of the gambling session between Uehara and Tsunade just by looking at Ueharaâs expression. Kisame and Mangetsu, surprisingly, did not speak.
But itâs different for Zabuza. He looked at Uehara and sneered, âBoy, have you lost all your money again?â
Uehara raised his eyes and glanced at Zabuza, and secretly wrote down his name on his blacklist.
âOther people did not speak, yet you decided to talk?â
However, seeing the eyes of everyone converging on him, Uehara explained, âI thought that she was pitiful, so I gave her a little money. My sensei was saved by her once, so I canât just sit and watch her lead a poor life.â
Regardless of the money lost to Tsunade or the living expenses he left to Shizune, it could be regarded as repaying the favor they gave Konan.
Zabuza had wanted to ridicule him more, but when he saw Ueharaâs unkind eyes, he closed his mouth.
His white face was a little nervous and uneasy. He glanced at the somewhat lost Kimimaro, and asked softly, âUehara, can Kimimaroâs illness be cured?â
Uehara shook his head, glanced at the lonely Kimimaro, and whispered, âBut I guess he may be lacking in calcium? Maybe he lacks calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and other vitamins?â
Haku and Kimimaroâs eyes were very puzzled.
âItâs just lack of nutrition anyway!â
Uehara rubbed his forehead, recalling the weird advertisements he saw in his previous life, and sighed, âThere was nothing that can replenish calcium here. Letâs just make him drink more milk first! I think of a way⊠â
The Shikotsumyaku would gather calcium in the human bodyâs bones to make his bones hard and abnormally tough, but Uehara does not know the true nature of his disease.
Many things in the ninja world could not be solved by science. Then they could only be solved with Chakra. For things that could not be solved by Chakra, we have the system!
Heâll probably get some weird skills in the future, right?
If even his cheats couldnât deal with Kimimaroâs condition, then Uehara could only pray to god.
Uehara sighed in his heart and glanced at the two side missions of his system, neither of which could be completed quickly.
[Side Mission: Ensure that Haku survives (0/1)]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Side Mission: Ensure that Kinimaro survives (0/1)]
[Reward: Unknown]
According to Ueharaâs understanding, they would be completed as long as he ensured that Haku and Kimimaro survived past fifteen. Currently, Kimimaro was only ten years old.
As long as Uehara carefully looked for the mission within the system that gave him healing abilities before then, he had a chance of curing Kimimaroâs condition. It could also cure the diseases contracted by Mangetsu.
Uehara couldnât help but glance at Mangetsu. Saving a thirteen-year-old ninja, this side mission should be fairly popular, right?
Naturally, it couldnât be compared to the popularity of Tsunade!
If this group of Swordsmen of the Mist were not around, Uehara would have wanted to stay with Tsunade and complete some easier side missionsâŠ
There might have even been medical skills in for him!
