Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Konoha Village, inside Konoha Hospital.

Jiraiya, Nadeshiko and Shizuka were waiting outside the ward, but Shizuka looked a little uneasy and kept pacing back and forth in the hospital corridor.

"Shizuka, don't be so nervous. Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is the best in the ninja world. She will definitely be able to solve your master's problem."

Shizuka stopped, nodded, sat on a chair nearby, and forced a smile.

"Hokage-sama, I know the name of 'Slug Princess'."

"Just a little nervous, that's all."

After saying that, he lowered his head and bit his thumb nail nervously.

At the same time, in the ward, Tsunade, who was using medical techniques to examine the physical condition of Nadeshiko Tingxiang, looked increasingly gloomy and ugly, with her eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Only after she had examined her whole body from head to toe did she take off the disposable rubber gloves on her hands and threw them into the medical waste bin beside her.

"You have so many problems. Are you aware of it?" Although Tsunade's voice was not loud, the subtle anger in it was still heard by Fushiko Tingxiang.

"Lady Tsunade, as a ninja, I am naturally aware of the condition of my own body."

"Could you please tell me how much time I have left?"

"It doesn't matter if these problems of mine can't be cured. I just want to hold on as long as possible and give Shizuka more time to grow."

Although the voice sounded weak, the firmness in the words did not waver in the slightest.

Tsunade silently raised her hand and held up four fingers.

"Four months. If you hadn't come to Konoha, you would have only lived for another four months at most."

"The muscles throughout the body show varying degrees of stiffness, especially in the limbs."

"Not only that, but my organs are weakened and my kidneys are close to failure. These are all caused by years of overdrawing chakra."

"The bones in the forearm still show signs of being broken, and some of the bone seams have not yet fully healed."

Tsunade listed her symptoms one by one, and Fushiko Tingxiang shook her head helplessly and smiled.

"It's just that I have some health problems. In order to protect Nadeshiko Village, this is a necessary sacrifice. It's worth it."

Tsunade fell silent after hearing what Nadeshiko Tingxiang said. She walked to the door silently, opened it, and called out to Nadeshiko Shizuka.

"You are her apprentice, come here."

Shizuka stood up instantly and trotted over to Tsunade, her movements stiff and a little uncomfortable as she asked cautiously.

"Lady Tsunade, how is my master now?"

"Tsunade, how is Teika?"

Jiraiya also echoed, somewhat anxiously.

Jiraiya's abnormal behavior made Tsunade subconsciously raise her eyebrows.

"Why do you care so much about others?"

"Is it possible..."

Jiraiya was stunned, then his old face turned red, and he quickly raised his hands and waved them in front of him.

"No, no, I didn't."

"I'm only worried about her because I'm concerned about the cooperation between Nadeshiko Village and Konoha's plan."

Tsunade simply grabbed Shizuka's wrist and dragged her into the room, glancing at Jiraiya.

"You are getting old, it's time to find someone."

After he finished speaking, the door closed with a clang, leaving Jiraiya sitting there fidgeting with an awkward expression. He was conflicted for a while, and finally he let out a long sigh, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking about writing.

Coming behind the curtain, Nadeshiko Teika looked at Tsunade and her apprentice Shizuka beside her. Her cheeks turned slightly red, but it still couldn't hide her originally pale face.

"Tsunade-sama, please stop making fun of me. Lord Jiraiya and I are just friends."

"He rejected me very clearly back then."

As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Tsunade immediately interrupted Teika.

"Then was the then, now is the now. As the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, it's easy to get him. Can't you just try a little more?"

Shizuka, who was standing by, didn't know what to say for a moment and felt that her presence was a little awkward.

But Fushiko Tingxiang understood the hidden meaning of Tsunade's words, and her pupils showed a hint of light.

"Lady Tsunade, do you mean that I can still be saved?" His tone was uncontrollably anxious and full of expectation.

Tsunade nodded, then shook her head.

Shizuka, who was standing by, was confused and didn't understand.

"Lady Tsunade, does that mean it can be saved, but it's difficult?"

Tsunade didn't say anything, but took out a test tube of light green liquid from the refrigerator next to her and injected it into Tingxiang's forearm meridians using an instrument.

A few minutes after the injection, Tingxiang felt more strength in her limbs, her complexion became a little more rosy, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"This is our Konoha's healing potion, the thing you were looking for before. How does it feel?"

Tingxiang nodded.

"So this is it? It seems I thought too much. Although I feel that my condition is much better than before, I can only prolong my current condition."

Tsunade nodded again.

"Yes, this healing potion will change according to the user's physical condition. If it is a strong ninja in his prime, it can even heal bone fractures within a few minutes."

"But your body no longer has such excellent functions. I can only alleviate your current symptoms."

"There are two options that can cure your symptoms, the kind that cures them completely."

"First, you need to find someone whose body matches yours and transplant their organs. However, there probably aren't many people willing to donate their organs to others. Second, your body can't wait that long. The longer you delay, the less likely you are to have surgery."

"The second option is to have an operation, but the chances of success are only about 50%, and that's if Shizune and I do the operation ourselves."

"At the same time, during the operation, your disciple will need to learn a special ninjutsu to use chakra to forcibly maintain the beating of your heart during the operation."

"During the operation, we will need to inject a higher concentration of therapeutic drugs into your internal organs in batches, and use the cell extraction technique to coordinate with it."

"Whether you choose to wait for an organ transplant or have surgery, it's up to you."

Without any hesitation, Nadeshiko Teika gave the same answer as Shizuka.

"The second type."

Shizuka and Tingxiang looked at each other and nodded.

"Be careful, for my master, I will definitely learn that ninjutsu."

Tingxiang touched Shizuka's hair.

"I believe in my disciples."

Tsunade nodded, said no more, took out a white scroll from the shelf beside her and handed it to Shizuka.

"This is a medical transfer technique. Although it is only a B-level ninjutsu, the difficulty of learning it is comparable to that of an A-level ninjutsu. It is only rated as a B-level because the restrictions on its use are too harsh."

“Even I haven’t learned it.”
