Chapter 57 Tsunade's Farewell

"Ah~ Haha, it's finally finished!" Looking at the two scrolls on the table, Taichi let out a long sigh of relief. This process of transcribing scrolls felt even more tiring than fighting a Jonin.

Picking up the two fruits of his hard work, and seeing that it was almost time, Taiichi headed out to Training Ground No. 3. He had arranged to meet Rin and Shizune there.

As I walked along, Konoha remained as prosperous as ever, with passersby busy with their own affairs—a beautiful picture of human life.

Upon arriving at Training Ground 3, Taiichi was surprised to see Tsunade standing next to Shizune. This was truly bizarre; at this hour, Tsunade should be either at a casino, an izakaya, or at the Konoha Hospital. What was she doing here?

Perhaps because Tsunade was nearby, Rin, standing to the side, also looked very reserved and didn't dare to say a word.

Taiichi quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Tsunade-neechan, it's been so long since I've seen you!"

"Are you trying to say I'm neglecting my duties and what's this about?" Tsunade said coldly, as if she could see right through you.

"Ha~ha~ha!" Taiichi rubbed his head. His black hair was already a mess from writing medical notes all night, and now it looked even messier as he rubbed it.

"How could you think of me like that, Tsunade-neechan?" Taiichi said, glancing at Shizune who was standing aside watching the scene unfold, as if to say, "Come and get out of this mess!"

Seeing Taiichi's embarrassed expression, Shizune couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but she quickly replied, "Lady Tsunade knew yesterday that you were going to write down your medical insights for us, so she came here today specifically to give you her feedback."

"I never expected that an eight-year-old brat would want to teach others medical ninjutsu. You two are really something, one daring to teach and the other two daring to learn," Tsunade lectured in a senior's tone. "If I didn't come and supervise, what if something went wrong?"

"No~ that's not it~ Tsunade-senpai." Nohara Rin interjected, her voice stammering with nervousness, afraid that Taichi would be blamed by Tsunade. "I asked Taichi to teach me medical ninjutsu. It's not Taichi's fault." Rin tried her best to defend Taichi.

"It's alright, Rin," Taichi comforted her from the side. "Tsunade-neechan was just joking. Most of my medical ninjutsu was taught by Tsunade-neechan. I'd be more than happy to have her give me some guidance."

As he spoke, Taichi took out a scroll titled "Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Medical Ninjutsu" that he had prepared beforehand from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Tsunade, saying, "Sister, please correct me."

"Tch, brat." Despite her complaints, Tsunade took a scroll and examined it carefully.

Medical ninjutsu is not an ordinary ninjutsu. While other ninjutsu might only harm oneself if practiced incorrectly, medical ninjutsu can harm teammates if practiced incorrectly. Moreover, there is a lot of medical knowledge recorded here, so there can be no mistakes whatsoever.

Tsunade's actions fully demonstrate her care and love for Taichi, even if she doesn't say it out loud.

Taking this opportunity, Shizune pulled Rin aside and began to explain the relationship between Tsunade and Taichi... Finally, Shizune concluded: "In short, they are a special master and disciple with an odd relationship."

After this explanation, Lin finally understood why Jingyin had laughed at her earlier behavior. It turned out that the master and apprentice were just joking around, and she had naively taken it as real.

At this moment, Tsunade was staring intently at the scroll in her hand, occasionally calling Taichi over to ask why it was written this way and what its purpose was. Her brows went from relaxed at the beginning to furrowed later, and then finally relaxed again.

An hour passed before Tsunade finished reading the entire scroll. Closing it, she looked at Tai with satisfaction: "Kid, you're ready to graduate. This scroll is really well-written; even I could only manage this much."

Taiyi, who hadn't paid much attention before, immediately stood up straight and serious upon hearing Tsunade's words. Tsunade's words about graduating from school carried significant meaning. In the past, Tsunade had never acknowledged Taiyi as her disciple. Today was the first time, and perhaps the last.

"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching." Taiichi was also very excited, with tears even glistening in the corners of his eyes. Tsunade's acknowledgment was not only about his status, but also about his abilities.

Shizune and Rin, standing nearby, also looked on with envy, as if they were witnessing the inheritance of Konoha's medical ninjutsu.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Tsunade broke the silence first. "You two, come here." She beckoned to Shizune and Rin, who were standing not far away.

As the two approached, Tsunade handed each of them a scroll by Taiichi and said, "Study the things on it carefully. Taiichi wrote them very well, and they are very suitable for you."

"Yes, I will study hard!" x2

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me anytime. I'll teach you whenever I have time," Taiyi added from the side.

"Okay, thank you, Taiichi." x2

"Alright, you two girls, go back and study hard. If you don't understand anything, come and ask Taiichi. Taiichi and I have some things to discuss." Tsunade waved her hand, sending the two girls back.

Watching the two figures disappear, Taichi turned to Tsunade: "Sensei, is there something you need me to do?"

"Walk with me for a bit first!" Tsunade's voice was tinged with melancholy, and without waiting for Taiichi to speak, she took the lead and walked ahead.

Taiichi watched Tsunade walk away, pondered for a while without finding a solution, then stopped thinking about it and quickly caught up with Tsunade.

The two walked along, stopping frequently, passing a hospital, the Hokage Building, a school, and a memorial. At the memorial, Tsunade told Taichi about the cruelty of war, the death of Nawaki, and the tragic demise of Dan.

At this point, Taiichi realized something was wrong. In the original story, Tsunade left Konoha shortly after World War II. Taiichi had thought that he, the little butterfly, had changed Tsunade's mind, but it turned out that it had only delayed her departure. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

After wandering around for a while, the two finally arrived at the top of the Hokage Rock. Standing at the highest point in Konoha, overlooking the prosperous village, the scene of prosperity could not dispel the faint sorrow between them.

"I'm leaving Konoha," Tsunade said bluntly.

"When are you leaving, teacher? I'll come to see you off." Taiyi said with some sadness.

"Aren't you going to ask why?" Taiichi's answer left Tsunade speechless.

"Since the teacher has already said it, he must have thought it through carefully. There's no point in trying to persuade him further," Taiyi replied.

"You've thought things through quite clearly, unlike some people," Tsunade said, pursing her lips. "You know I have hemophobia, right?"

"I noticed it a long time ago. Teacher, you never provide first-line treatment, but you always seem very nervous when you see bloodstains," Taiyi explained.

"A clever brat," Tsunade said.

"I was already disheartened after Nawaki and Dan died, and then I developed hemophobia." Tsunade stared blankly into the distance. "A medical ninja suffering from hemophobia, isn't that ridiculous?" Tsunade's face was full of desolation.

"I had wanted to leave a long time ago. If you guys hadn't been staking out me at the gambling den that day for some medicine, I probably would have left already."

Taiichi looked up at Tsunade in surprise. Was it really such a coincidence that day? If it had been a day later, the outcome would have been completely different.

"Now that I've been able to train you to become a master, I have no regrets whatsoever."

"Shizune is Dan's niece. I will take her with me when I leave, and we will return to Konoha when she has completed her training."

As she spoke, Tsunade took out a storage scroll, formed hand seals, and with a "thud," two scrolls, one large and one small, fell out. Tsunade reached out and caught them, handing both scrolls to Taichi.

Taiichi took it and looked at Tsunade in surprise.

"These two scrolls, the smaller one contains the medical knowledge and medical ninjutsu you will be learning later, I have prepared them all for you."

"The bigger one wasn't originally meant for you, but now that he's my apprentice, I'll let you keep it."

Taiichi looked at the name on the scroll—Shikkotsu Forest Summoning Scroll
