Chapter 61: I’m Just Paying Back What My Sensei Owes!
Hearing the Shizune’s words, Uehara couldn’t help but look at the woman sitting opposite him, “Tsunade-senpai is the most famous medical ninja in the Ninja world, could you check him please?”
“Shizune’s medical skills are no different from mine.”
Tsunade shook her head, glanced at Kimimaro, and whispered, “If Shizune couldn’t do anything about it, I too won’t be able to propose an effective medical plan.”
Due to her current situation, she couldn’t do it.
Uehara nodded, stood up, and bowed seriously to Shizune, “Although I was mentally prepared for this, I still have to thank Shizune-san…”
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 Kimimaro’s 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 Uehara’s actions, Kimimaro also bowed respectfully towards Shizune, “Thank you, Shizune-san, I am very grateful…”
One should always respect a doctor who tries to rescue a patient.
Shizune looked at him awkwardly and stopped their bows, and whispering, “Please don’t 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.”
“Wait here. I’ll write it down.”
Uehara shook his head, pointed to the pile of money left in front of him, and whispered, “I’ll leave as Shizune-san consultation fee!”
Shizune hurriedly rejects him, “I can’t possibly accep…”
Tsunade slam her fist and said with dissatisfaction, “Hey, kid, this is the money we’re using to gamble!”
Tsunade’s 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.
“Sorry, Tsunade-senpai, we were in a hurry.”
Uehara chuckled and looked at Shizune and said, “Tsunade-senpai is always losing money. Life must be tough, right? Shizune-san, I will give it to you to cover the two of you’s living expenses!”
Tsunade, hearing these words, filled with anger: “Hey, Uehara, do you think we’re here to beg?!”
Uehara shook his head, looked at Tsunade with a sullen face, and explained earnestly, “Back then, my sensei was lucky enough to receive a favor from Tsunade-senpai, so this is our compensation!”
Tsunade’s expression turned complicated.
She didn’t expect Uehara to says that.
She wanted to find the little devil’s sensei who taught a disciple who knew how to repay a favor.
‘One day, when I see the Uehara’s sensei, could I borrow some money or something….’
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, “Apart from grandpa, he was the first person I managed to have fun with…”
“Tsunade-sama, he not an adult yet!”
Shizune said and put away the money with black lines on her face.
Shizune had a good impression of Uehara due to his generosity, “That little guy was nice. He repaid kindness Tsunade-sama showed his sensei, so he deliberately lost to Tsunade-sama the last two days.”
Tsunade immediately felt dissatisfied with Shizune’s words and hit her head, “What are you talking about? I won it from him fair and square!”
Shizune clutched her head and frantically agreed with her words, “Yes, yes…”
“But that kid was really interesting…”
Tsunade touched the corners of her lips, and chuckled, “Shizune, 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!”
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 Uehara’s expression. Kisame and Mangetsu, surprisingly, did not speak.
But it’s different for Zabuza. He looked at Uehara and sneered, “Boy, have you lost all your money again?”
Uehara raised his eyes and glanced at Zabuza, and secretly wrote down his name on his blacklist.
‘Other people did not speak, yet you decided to talk?’
However, seeing the eyes of everyone converging on him, Uehara explained, “I thought that she was pitiful, so I gave her a little money. My sensei was saved by her once, so I can’t just sit and watch her lead a poor life.”
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 Uehara’s 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, “Uehara, can Kimimaro’s illness be cured?”
Uehara shook his head, glanced at the lonely Kimimaro, and whispered, “But I guess he may be lacking in calcium? Maybe he lacks calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and other vitamins?”
Haku and Kimimaro’s eyes were very puzzled.
“It’s just lack of nutrition anyway!”
Uehara rubbed his forehead, recalling the weird advertis.e.m.e.nts he saw in his previous life, and sighed, “There was nothing that can replenish calcium here. Let’s just make him drink more milk first! I think of a way… “
The Shikotsumyaku would gather calcium in the human body’s 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!
He’ll probably get some weird skills in the future, right?
If even his cheats couldn’t deal with Kimimaro’s condition, then Uehara could only pray to G.o.d.
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 Uehara’s 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 Kimimaro’s condition. It could also cure the diseases contracted by Mangetsu.
Uehara couldn’t help but glance at Mangetsu. Saving a thirteen-year-old ninja, this side mission should be fairly popular, right?
Naturally, it couldn’t 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 missions…
There might have even been medical skills in for him!
