I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

Thanks to Konoha’s resource, its medical department quickly completed its construction.

After all, Shinobi was really efficient in these things. If Nagasawa included Yamato in the construction, it would finish even faster, and they would not need to cut trees.

The medical department picked a location not far from Konoha’s hospital.

The head of the medical department was Tsunade. Because Nagasawa also participated in the planning discussion, he also became a consultant.

At Nagasawa’s level, he could become a Captain if he wanted to in the medical department. For the record, he had mastered Mystical Palm Technique, and his mastery of medical Ninjutsu was not low.

Of course, he was nowhere close to Tsunade, who could heal a whole village.

Tsunade certainly lived up to her reputation as the best Medical-nin in the world.

”Nagasawa, get me a glass of water.” Tsunade began to order Nagasawa around as she sat slumped on the office chair in the minister’s office.

”If you are thirsty, I’ll get you some water. Nagasawa-sama is the medical department’s consultant, after all. Moreover, you’re so sloppy, Tsunade-sama. You don’t have the slightest dignity of a minister at all.”

Shizune, who stood behind Tsunade couldn’t stand Tsunade’s attitude and tried to reprimand her.

Since Shizune was used to being by Tsunade’s side, Tsunade appointed Shizune as secretary.

”I won’t drink whatever you get me. I will only drink what he brings me.” Tsunade showed her whimsical side of her despite Shizune already nagging at her.

”Moreover, I am the medical department’s minister, why can’t I sit however I please?”

Shizune: ...

It was not that she couldn’t sit however she pleased, but Tsunade was quite ”big”, so people could easily see some of her private parts if she didn’t sit properly.

Seeing Tsunade begin to act like a child again, Nagasawa could only smile helplessly. He got Tsunade a cup of water and put it on her desk.

Even the Hokage didn’t ask him to pour water for him. After all, Hokage’s assistant was meant to help the Hokage with the documents, not serve tea to the Hokage.

However, there was nothing he could do. Since it was he who brought Tsunade back to Konoha, he had to treat her well.

The night of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox’s attack was getting closer. He could not let Tsunade go.

”Tsunade sama, if there is nothing else you need, I will leave. I still have something to do somewhere else.” Nagasawa said.

”Tsk, leaving already? Mr. Hokage assistant seems really busy. Don’t be like the last Hokage’s assistant.” Tsunade clicked her tongue as soon as Nagasawa said he wanted to leave.

Nagasawa: ...

For some reason, Tsunade always picked a fight with him. After a secret observation, he found that Tsunade spoke to others normally.

As soon as he arrived there, Tsunade became annoyed.

Had it not for the fact that his patience had greatly improved after he fully merged with Yoriichi Tsugikuni’s template, his blood pressure would have soared whenever he met Tsunade.

”It’s about the specific implementation of Medical-nin’s special student.” Tsunade lost the will to berate Nagasawa after looking at his face and went straight to the point.

”There are still a lot of problems that have yet to be solved. There are two of the biggest problems that I want to consult you about. First is the proportion of medical classes, and second is how to draw the students in. There are many commoners in the Academy, and many of them may not understand the concept of medical Ninjutsu.

Nagasawa thought for a moment and said, ”If you don’t test things out first, you won’t know the best result. Some Ninjutsu can be helpful for cultivating medical Ninjutsu even though it doesn’t belong to medical Ninjutsu. After all, Medical-nin was also Shinobi, and the foundation of a Shinobi is Chakra, which does not conflict with Shinobi training. Besides, we still have the practice stage. During the practice stage, the medical students will set aside the Academy classes to attend the medical department training full-time. That will be when they truly grow. As for how to draw the students in, we must work on the advertisement. The Academy has to describe accurately to the class what medical Ninjutsu is and what it can do. At the same time, we also have to advertise it to the villagers so that they have a clear objective when they choose the medical student program.

”In other words, an all-out campaign? Sounds good.” Tsunade touched his chin.

Konoha has basically never done any kind of campaign.

All the villagers knew that Academy was the only place where people could learn to become Shinobi.

Therefore, Academy did not need any advertising at all. It had a lot of students every year, so there was no need to worry about advertising at all.

At first, Tsunade thought that posting it on the village bulletin board would do, but now she was more inclined to Nagasawa’s idea.

Just like how she preferred famous casinos over the shabby ones just went to show that publicity was useful.

...

...

After leaving Root’s base, Yamato temporarily stayed next to Nagasawa’s house.

The reason for that was that Nagasawa could not think of a suitable position for Yamato at the moment, and secondly, Yamato could be a sparing partner.

Yamato’s Wood Release was a little bit overrated. Nagasawa was not short on Special Jonin-level subordinates, so Nagasawa did not exactly plan to save Yamato as Anbu’s secret weapon of some sort. In fact, he was ready to give Yamato a relatively normal life.

However, Yamato had been a Root Shinobi for some time, and Nagasawa was afraid that he would be confused because he had nothing to do, so he included Yamato in the training team and had him join Kakashi’s group.

Kakashi looked at Yamato, who was a bit shorter than him, and was lost in thought.

He was the youngest Shinobi in Anbu, so he did not expect that someone even younger than him would show up.

However, Kakashi did not look down on Yamato. After all, according to Nagasawa, Yamato had inherited the First Hokage’s Wood Release.

There were too many legends about the First Hokage in Konoha. There were even rumors that the reason why the Land of Fire had such a vast forest was because of the first Hokage.

The resident of Konoha believed that Wood Release was the best Nature Type.

Unfortunately, only the First Hokage could use it. None of his descendants inherited it.

Now, Kakashi actually met a successor of Wood Release, which made him very curious.

”You’re Yamato, right? Can you let me see your Wood Release?” Kakashi asked.

At this time, the two of them were in a room, and no one else was around.

Yamato learned from Nagasawa that Kakashi would be his superior from now on. Due to the habit he had developed in Root, Yamato did not question Kakashi’s request. He immediately made a hand seal, and a wooden stake emerged from the ground.

Kakashi:...

It did not look very strong no matter how he looked at it.
