Satoru Hyūga looked around. After a fierce battle, numerous wounded lay on stretchers, awaiting rescue from medical ninjas.
But obviously, the backup Medic Corps didn't have enough hands.
That young ninja was not an isolated case. Many other ninjas couldn't get effective rescue either.
In this way, a part of Konoha's combat strength would be wasted for nothing.
"I guess I still have to cure Tsunade's hematophobia!" Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but sigh softly.
It's impossible for him to switch to becoming a medical ninja.
Even though he would occasionally offer a hand, the backup Medic Corps without Tsunade, the key figure, still couldn't shoulder the heavy responsibility.
However, if Tsunade's hematophobia could be alleviated, this situation could be resolved.
After thinking it over, Satoru Hyūga walked up to Shizune, who was treating the wounded, and asked.
"Shizune, do you know where Lady Tsunade's tent is?"
"Lady Tsunade's tent?"
Shizune stopped her movements and stared at Satoru Hyūga in shock.
"Why? What do you want with Lady Tsunade? She doesn't like others to disturb her."
Satoru Hyūga took a slight breath, paused for a moment, and said, "Well... I plan to help her treat her hematophobia. If Lady Tsunade's hematophobia is cured, the pressure on the Medic Corps can be greatly relieved, right?"
Treat hematophobia?
Shizune stared at Satoru Hyūga in shock, her eyes wide open.
"Hey, Satoru, Lady Tsunade herself is the most outstanding medical ninja in Konoha. She can't even solve her own hematophobia. Are you sure you can do it?"
Hematophobia remains an unsolved problem in the current medical system.
Tsunade, known as the Saint of Medicine, suffered a great deal when encountering this problem and couldn't overcome it at all.
Shizune had secretly put in a lot of effort to cure her hematophobia, so she knew better how stubborn Tsunade's hematophobia was.
"I can't say I'm sure. Anyway, it's a glimmer of hope!"
Satoru Hyūga thought for a while and said.
"You didn't have much faith in me when I treated that wounded ninja before, but I still managed to cure him. I have different insights in medicine compared to the conventional medical system. It won't hurt to let me give it a try."
Shizune hesitated.
These past few days, Tsunade has deliberately avoided rescue work because she's afraid of blood. This strange change couldn't be hidden, and the rumor that Tsunade has hematophobia has been spreading among the troops.
If Satoru Hyūga could really cure Tsunade, it would definitely be a great thing.
After thinking it over, Shizune let out a breath.
She nodded.
"Okay, after I treat this wounded ninja, I'll take you to Lady Tsunade's tent."
In front of a tent.
Shizune hesitated for a second, then turned to Satoru Hyūga, who'd followed her, and said.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and inform Lady Tsunade."
"Go ahead."
After saying that, Shizune lifted the hanging cloth door of Tsunade's tent, poked her head in, and whispered.
"Tsunade - sama, are you resting?"
Tsunade sat on the edge of the bed, her face slightly red, holding a wine flask as the strong smell of alcohol wafted around.
"Ah... It's Shizune. Almost. I'll rest after finishing this flask of wine."
Tsunade let out a belch and, with a tipsy look on her face, looked at Shizune who was peeping in.
Perhaps because she intended to rest, she was dressed quite scantily. Her large, soft, and fair bosom almost popped out of the thin tank top.
Only the coat on her back slightly covered this alluring sight.
"Tsunade - sama, why are you drinking again!"
Shizune looked anxious and blurted out.
"Drinking is not allowed in the tent. If Orochimaru discovers this, he'll probably get angry again."
"Hehe..."
Tsunade let out another belch, took a big gulp of wine, and said disdainfully.
"So what if he gets angry? I'm completely useless and unable to offer any help. Tell me, is there another injured person you can't handle?"
Shizune remained silent.
Due to hematophobia, Tsunade can't treat the injured directly. So once she encountered seriously injured patients, she would come here to consult Tsunade and get her advice.
It seemed that these days' experiences in the war had made Tsunade's will even more dispirited...
This hematophobia has to be cured!
Taking a slight breath, Shizune looked at Tsunade seriously and said,
"Tsunade - sama, I didn't come here to consult you with a Mondai. It's Satoru Hyūga. He wants to cure your hematophobia."
"What? Cough... cough..."
Tsunade, who was drinking, seemed to choke and coughed violently several times.
She looked at Shizune in surprise.
"Cure my hematophobia, him?"
Outside the tent.
Even though Satoru Hyūga didn't go inside, he could roughly hear the conversation between Shizune and Tsunade.
It seemed that Tsunade's hematophobia had become more serious in the war environment, and her will had become even more dispirited.
He was kinda glad he'd come to Tsunade through Shizune.
Otherwise, if he had used the Byakugan to find Tsunade's tent on his own initiative, he might have been outright rejected and given a thorough thrashing as soon as he entered.
Without hesitation, he directly pushed open the tent door.
"Tsunade - sama, you should have heard of my name. I think you've suffered from hematophobia for so long and you also want to get rid of it, right?"
Tsunade instinctively wrapped the coat on her back tighter, covering her bosom. She sized up Satoru Hyūga from head to toe.
"Are you the rumored Hyūga with Dual Bloodline Limits? You don't seem to have grown any strange things?"
A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Satoru Hyūga's mouth.
Did the first person with Dual Bloodline Limits in the Hyūga clan's history really have to grow something extra compared to others? What kind of logic was this?
"Tsunade - sama, I think we should focus on curing the hematophobia!"
Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but try to steer the conversation back.
"Why should I trust you?"
Tsunade stared at Satoru Hyūga suspiciously.
She regarded herself as the most outstanding medical ninja in Konoha, even in the entire ninja world. There were stubborn ailments that even she had no way to deal with.
Could Satoru Hyūga, a young kid who hasn't even grown up, have a solution?
Moreover, she had heard all those rumors in the camp recently.
Although she hadn't directly participated in the frontal battlefield, just thinking about Chiyo, her long - time rival, being controlled by her ten Puppet giants gives her the creeps.
What a perverse taste this kid has!
Could he be using the guise of treating hematophobia to have some special intentions towards me?
"Lady Tsunade, please let Satoru have a try," Shizune beside her couldn't help but speak up.
"Satoru's Mystical Palm Technique is quite unique. He once cured a severely injured patient, and I couldn't even figure out the Mystical Palm Technique he used."
"Really?"
Tsunade looked at Satoru Hyūga in astonishment.
Shizune's medical skills were passed down from her. Since even Shizune couldn't understand him, it meant that this kid Satoru Hyūga really had some skills.
"However, it's not enough," she said coldly.
"Even if you've achieved something in medicine, as a medical ninja, I know very well the consequences of letting others treat patients casually."
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest. Please leave!"
Just then, Satoru Hyūga, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up tentatively, "Lady Tsunade, you don't want Shizune to be so overworked, do you?"
