Chapter 105: Tsunade's Aura
Chapter 105: Tsunade's Aura
After breakfast, Kurenai Yuhi stayed by Fengye's bedside, recounting the events that had transpired during his absence. Shizune and Lin also joined in, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
The reason for such harmony was simple: Fengye was now a convalescing patient who needed rest. The girls were mindful of this, and Kurenai and the others were on their best behavior, careful not to cause any trouble or do anything that might affect his mood.
At noon, Tsunade returned to the tent after treating other severely wounded soldiers in the medical area. Seeing the group of girls gathered around Fengye's bed, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you a little too popular, kid?"
Kurenai and Shizune quickly stood up and greeted Tsunade respectfully as she entered. "Lady Tsunade."
Fengye smiled at the approaching Tsunade and said, "Well, I am injured at the moment and can't move around much. I can only listen to their stories to pass the time. If you were injured, Tsunade, I'd be happy to take care of you too."
Tsunade hummed in acknowledgment. "Alright, you pass... Shizune, get me a glass of water."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade."
Shizune immediately got up to obey.
Tsunade took the seat Shizune had vacated, and Kurenai and Lin cautiously glanced at each other before moving to the other side of the tent. Even Kurenai, whose father was a jonin, felt a sense of restraint in the presence of the legendary Tsunade, one of the Sannin. They were well aware of her reputation.
"You're recovering quickly," Tsunade remarked, extending a finger to touch Fengye's wrist. A faint green chakra flickered as she probed his condition. Tilting her head, she continued, "This rate of recovery isn't quite normal... Have you been practicing Orochimaru's ninjutsu?"
Fengye nodded in admission. "I've been practicing Cell Activation, which speeds up recovery. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to recklessly use such a powerful forbidden technique. You must have noticed yesterday, Tsunade?"
Of course, Tsunade had sensed Fengye's unusual physical state during yesterday's treatment. It was because of his unique condition, having practiced Cell Activation, that the entire treatment process had gone exceptionally smoothly.
"What else have you learned? Did Orochimaru teach you that forbidden technique as well?" Tsunade asked, withdrawing her hand and fixing her gaze on Fengye.
Fengye feigned a thoughtful expression. "I learned how to manipulate my chakra nature to align with lightning from Orochimaru-sensei. The forbidden technique is my own creation. Other than that, I only know the Hatake swordsmanship that I learned from my father, which I've adapted for the sword."
Tsunade shot Fengye a glance. "I thought it was a forbidden technique taught by Orochimaru. I didn't expect it to be your own creation. No wonder you used it so boldly, unaware of the dangers of forbidden techniques."
She had been somewhat displeased, believing that Orochimaru had taught such a dangerous technique to someone as young as Fengye. But the fact that he had created it himself surprised her as well.
Fengye offered a smile. "It's not entirely my own creation. I merely combined a taijutsu I learned from someone else with a ninjutsu that manipulates chakra flow."
"That's still no easy feat," Tsunade said flatly. As a ninja of her caliber, she understood that combining ninjutsu and taijutsu was no simple task. Ninjas who could create their own forbidden techniques were usually exceptionally talented.
If they were talking about affecting one's lifespan, wasn't the Hundred Seals Technique even more detrimental? Accelerating cell division was what truly reduced one's lifespan. Moreover, he only dared to use it so freely because he had the ability to turn back time. Tsunade, on the other hand, was truly trading her life force for battle prowess.
"I understand," Feng Ye replied.
As his retort reached his lips, he swallowed it back and instead asked Tsunade, "By the way, I want to learn some medical ninjutsu. I wonder if Lady Tsunade would be willing to teach me."
Although he wasn't sure if Tsunade had developed the Hundred Seals Technique yet, the technique was based on medical ninjutsu. There was no harm in learning some medical ninjutsu first.
Currently, his control over chakra had reached a bottleneck, and it was becoming extremely difficult to improve further. Medical ninjutsu and puppetry were known to be the most precise chakra control techniques. He was too lazy to learn puppetry, and it wouldn't be of any use to him anyway. Medical ninjutsu, on the other hand, was just right.
"You want to learn medical ninjutsu?" Tsunade asked, giving Feng Ye a strange look.
She was a little surprised by his request but only needed a moment's thought before agreeing. As long as he wanted to learn, she was willing to teach.
"Thank you, Teacher Tsunade," Feng Ye said with a smile, changing his form of address and making a helpless gesture to indicate that he couldn't bow to her at the moment due to his injury.
Tsunade stood up and said, "All right, you just lie there. I need to go and continue treating the wounded."
After Tsunade left the tent, Kurenai Yuhi and Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin watched the direction of Tsunade's departing figure and said with a lingering fear, "Lady Tsunade's aura is so terrifying."
Feng Ye couldn't help but smile at the reactions of Kurenai and Lin.
Different people perceived Tsunade differently. As someone who knew Tsunade's personality well and had a close relationship with her, he naturally didn't feel any pressure in her presence.
However, the same couldn't be said for Kurenai and Lin. Their status was vastly different from Tsunade's, and they didn't even have the qualifications to speak to her.
No wonder they had been cowering in the corner.
"I could barely breathe just now," Kurenai admitted, exchanging a glance with Lin. The two of them had found common ground on this matter.
Shizune, on the other hand, was unaffected. Having followed Tsunade for a long time, she was familiar with her mentor's personality. As Tsunade's disciple, she was now happy as she picked up another cup of water and offered it to Feng Ye. "I never expected that you'd want to learn medical ninjutsu, Feng Ye. It looks like we'll be training together for a while."
"..." Kurenai and Lin looked at Shizune in silence.
While they were intimidated by Tsunade, they weren't afraid of Shizune. Shizune, feeling a bit uncomfortable under their gaze, straightened her posture.
Just as the atmosphere turned a little awkward, footsteps could be heard outside the tent, and it sounded like there were quite a few people. Kurenai and the others turned their heads to look.
As soon as they saw who it was, they immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Jiraiya-sama!" they exclaimed.
