After Han's departure, Guzma and his team exchanged glances, puzzled by Reiki's familiarity with the mysterious red figure. They sensed tension between Reiki and the figure, yet Reiki had intervened to help them. Guzma, feeling awkward, prepared to offer a few polite words of gratitude before leaving.
"Brother Reiki, thank you for helping us despite everything that happened," he began.
"I need something now," Reiki cut in, surprising Guzma. "You and your team need to get inj...

Outside the forest, Guzma's heart sank as he saw a body thrown at his feet. He barely glimpsed the red figure responsible, and a dread filled the air as the figure vanished.
"Muke!" Guzma called out, rushing to the fallen ninja's side. But it was too late; his comrade was already dead. Guzma's frustration boiled over. Was this a warning?
One of his teammates spoke up, her voice shaken. "Guzma, that aura… it's not from those kids. It might be an elite guard Tsunade sent to protec...

Reiki and his team hadn't been the only ones laying traps in the forest. Their shadow clones were meant to delay, to bait, and—if possible—to wear down the enemy, and it had worked. The skilled sensor ninja in Guzma's team muttered in frustration, "They didn't leave. They've hidden using clones."
Guzma, known as a slim, calculating figure, smirked. "Well, let's hunt them down then. If we can't handle three kids, we might as well give up being ninjas."
As the ninjas combed thro...

At midday, Reiki was the first to land on a high cliff, taking in the landscape below. Moments later, Uchiha Shisui arrived, followed by Namikaze Nozuki.
"I honestly don't get how you're so good at everything—combat, medical ninjutsu, taijutsu! Looks like I've got a lot of training ahead of me," Shisui panted, though a grin of excitement lit up his face.
Despite his status as a Uchiha prodigy, Shisui often felt isolated. The clan's prideful nature made it difficult for him to fi...

As Han recounted his story, a faint sadness flickered across his usually calm face.
"I'm considered the genius of my family," he began quietly. "By the time I was two, I had already mastered the transformation of Nature energy... But…" He trailed off, bitterness tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Han explained that he belonged to the mysterious Chiluo clan. They had a unique physique capable of absorbing natural energy—known to Reiki as the energy needed for the legendary Sag...

After finalizing the trade, Reiki and his team began combing the battlefield for anything valuable—kunai, shurikens, detonating charms—all items they could sell or reuse. The motivation wasn't just about earning money, though. Reiki's main goal was experience.
In the recent skirmish, Reiki had discovered a new insight: whenever someone used one of his potions, he received a feedback of medical points. This realization fueled his choice to trade potions; he could earn points and leve...

With the last three Kirigakure ninjas defeated, the mist that cloaked the battlefield lifted, revealing a bright, calm forest. The breeze brushed past as the scene cleared.
"Reiki, what's going on with these…?" Uchiha Shisui approached Reiki, eyes wide with curiosity as he looked at the six incapacitated enemies lying neatly on the ground.
"They're the leaders of the attack—jounin from Kirigakure Village," Reiki replied calmly, not pausing in his work. "Defeated by my teacher....

Half an hour had passed, and Sheila's irritation grew. "Why haven't those two come back yet?" The nagging feeling of foreboding settled in his gut.
"They're jounin; they should be able to handle a genin easily," he muttered, trying to convince himself.
"Lord Sheila, should I go and check?" one of his subordinates suggested cautiously.
"No need. If they haven't returned, they probably ran into Tsunade," Sheila replied, immediately thinking of the legendary ninja.

Tsunade stood dumbfounded, watching as Reiki sold his potions during the ongoing mission. It was remarkable how quickly they sold out.
"Tsunade, your disciple is quite the character!" Jiraiya remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Were you involved in making those potions?"
"No," Tsunade replied, shaking her head. "He probably made them all by himself. I think I understand now why he asked Uchiha for medicinal materials earlier. He was concocting something like this."

Shisui's face was a mask of confusion at Reiki's declaration. How could he, who fought harder than any of them, choose not to fight now? Last night's battle had been won largely because of Reiki's efforts.
"Is it because of the new model Tsunade-sensei applied for?" Shisui wondered aloud.
Nozuki chimed in, "Reiki probably wants to test the role of medical ninjas in the team."
"Yes, that's it," Reiki admitted, a hint of surprise crossing his face at Nozuki's perceptiveness. He h...

At that moment, Prime Minister Sanada approached, his demeanor a mix of surprise and admiration. "Have all the enemies been dealt with?"
He regarded the trio, marveling at their prowess. Although he suspected they were talented, their swift victory left him astounded. They had dispatched the threat without showing any signs of distress after taking lives.
"It's been resolved," Reiki replied coolly. "However, Mr. Sanada, as your escorting ninjas, we have accepted your commission. If we d...

Nozuki suddenly felt a rush of realization. "They were planning their relationship without even telling me?" She chastised herself for not interpreting Shisui's earlier words correctly.
Just then, Reiki's voice cut through her thoughts. "Incoming!"
He crouched low, and the two quickly readied themselves, kunai and short blade in hand. Shadows flitted through the darkness, approaching their position.
"Get ready. As soon as they make a move, we counterattack," Reiki instructed, a long ...

In Konoha, a gathering was underway at the Security Department, with Uchiha Fugaku at the forefront. Tension hung in the air as Yihe , head of the Interrogation Department, faced the aftermath of a grave mistake.
"Minister Fugaku, we acknowledge that this is indeed our dereliction of duty," Yihe Gang admitted, discomfort visible on his face. "The prisoners we had, sent in by your clan, have escaped. This should never have happened."

After Uchiha Kagami departed, the atmosphere in the meeting room remained tense, divided into factions. Uchiha Tani, the clan leader, felt the weight of the clan's divisions more than ever. He had yet to unify the Uchiha, a goal that felt increasingly distant.

Reiki's mind raced as he clicked on the golden mark on his panel. "System, what does this golden mark mean?" he asked, curiosity piqued.
"Insufficient permissions to query," the system responded promptly.
Disappointment washed over Reiki. He had suspected this was beyond his current understanding, but he still felt a flicker of frustration.

Reiki explained the core of the issue to Uchiha Mikoto, detailing the potential risks posed by her current diet and its effects on the fetus.
"Indeed, the fetus is too fragile, and consuming an excessive amount of nutrients or medicated food can lead to the problems Reiki mentioned," Tsunade confirmed, rubbing her temples in frustration. "But what should we do in this situation?"
Her helplessness was palpable. Even with the cause identified, the fetus was too young to withstand ag...

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, tucking the information away with a furrowed brow. The potential impact of the higher-ups' actions on the Uchiha clan was significant, especially given Tani's candidacy in the upcoming Hokage election. He understood the delicate balance that needed to be maintained; any provocation from the village's leadership could lead to unnecessary conflict.
"Reiki, rest at my home for now. I'll return shortly," Fugaku instructed before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.

The following day, Konoha's atmosphere shifted, casting a shadow over the village. The Uchiha clan's erratic behavior had sparked concern among the villagers. Whispers filled the air as rumors spread about their recent arrests.
At a local steamed bun shop, Reiki overheard snippets of conversation while waiting for his breakfast.
"Uncle, I'd like a bag of buns, please," he said, trying to sound casual. The shop owner was speaking to another customer about the Uchiha clan's actions....

Morishita understood Reiki's unspoken concern. "Tsunade received a mission message," he informed Reiki. "But I don't have the specifics."
"Is it a mission directly from the Hokage?" Reiki asked, his instincts sharpening.
Morishita nodded. "It's likely connected to that guy…"
Reiki thanked Morishita and headed straight to the hospital, a frown etched on his face.

After three hours of rest, the three young ninjas felt nearly recovered. Tsunade, ever the diligent teacher, had prepared special military food pills for them.

The training continued well into the evening.

But soon, Reiki realized he had underestimated the situation.
Tsunade easily shattered Shisui's Fire Release by smashing the ground and using the debris to block the flames. In the blink of an eye, she closed the distance, delivering a devastating punch to Shisui that sent him flying.
"Crisp sound," Reiki thought grimly. "That must've broken Shisui's ribs."

"Uncle Dan?" Shizune asked, her brow furrowed with concern as she treated Kato Dan's wounds. "Have you gone to see the teacher again? What happened?"
Kato Dan grimaced, shifting uncomfortably as Shizune worked on his injuries. The situation had been dire for three days now, and he was beginning to wonder if his attempts to reach Tsunade were doomed from the start.
"Master Dan said there was some misunderstanding with the teacher," Shizune relayed, her voice laced with curiosity.

"Don't worry; they're all edible," Tsunade replied proudly. "I've tried them all myself."
