"Knock, knock, knock!"
Shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, Shiro Akira raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Tsunade's voice came from inside. Shiro Akira immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
The moment he entered, he saw Tsunade leisurely drinking alcohol.
"Uh… this…"
Shiro Akira's eyelid twitched slightly. "Lady Tsunade, is it really okay to drink during work hours?"
This was a hospital, after all.
"What's the problem?"
Tsunade waved her hand nonchalantly, then stared at Shiro Akira and said, "That's not something you should be worrying about. Also, from now on, call me Big Sister Tsunade. No need for all that 'Lady' stuff."
"And what brings you here? Ran into some trouble?"
That didn't seem likely.
She had been keeping an eye on Shiro Akira recently.
Under the guidance of Sakumo Hatake, this kid had been improving rapidly.
She had even heard that he had created a new Lightning-attribute sword technique.
That kind of talent… truly something else.
This kid really is a genius. Creating ninjutsu is as easy for him as eating and drinking. No wonder he looks so much like Second Grandfather…
Tsunade muttered inwardly.
If her Second Grandfather hadn't died without leaving descendants, she might have suspected Shiro Akira was directly related to him.
"It's not trouble."
Shiro Akira shook his head and looked at Tsunade seriously. "I want to learn medical ninjutsu, but I don't have a way to access it. I know Big Sister Tsunade is the best medical ninja in the entire ninja world, so I came here shamelessly to ask if you could teach me some medical ninjutsu knowledge."
"If that's not possible, even giving me some related books so I can study on my own would be fine."
When it came to learning medical ninjutsu, what better option was there than going directly to Tsunade?
"Oh?"
Tsunade seemed quite pleased to hear that. She carefully sized Shiro Akira up and asked, "Why the sudden interest in medical ninjutsu? You should know that in most people's eyes, medical ninja are support-type ninjas."
Not every medical ninja was like her.
Shiro Akira answered honestly, "I've hit a bottleneck in my ninjutsu training recently. I want to improve my fine control over chakra through studying medical ninjutsu."
"Also, it will help me better understand the human body, monitor my own condition at all times, and create more reasonable training plans—so I don't overdraw my potential or damage my body."
"Of course, I also believe medical ninja can become strong. Big Sister Tsunade is the best example, isn't she?"
Who in the ninja world would dare to underestimate Tsunade's strength?
Well… Madara would.
He had even mocked her a few times during the Fourth Great Ninja War in the original timeline.
"Hah! Not everyone can be your Big Sister Tsunade!"
Tsunade grinned proudly, clearly pleased.
Who didn't enjoy being praised?
"Still, your reasoning convinced me. I agree! Starting today, you'll learn medical ninjutsu under me."
Tsunade made the decision on the spot.
Clearly, Shiro Akira's reasoning had moved her.
What she found most impressive was his calm and steady mindset.
If it were another child his age with his level of talent, they would probably already be arrogant and full of themselves.
But Shiro Akira wasn't like that.
Not only did he train diligently every day with a clear plan, but now he even wanted to learn medical ninjutsu to create a better training system for himself.
That kind of foresight was rare.
"Thank you, Big Sister Tsunade!"
Shiro Akira immediately beamed with joy and thanked her.
"Heh."
Tsunade chuckled as she stood up and walked toward a bookshelf, flipping through it while warning him, "Don't get too excited just yet. Learning medical ninjutsu isn't easy. It requires a massive amount of medical knowledge and constant practice."
"It's still not too late to regret it now. Once you officially start, I won't allow you to quit halfway."
"Also, are you sure you can spare that much time? Aren't you worried it'll affect your strength growth?"
She was just making sure Shiro Akira wasn't acting on impulse.
As for his strength growth, she wasn't worried at all.
The moment he entered, she had already sensed it—his chakra had increased several times compared to the last time they met.
It was already comparable to a Chunin.
And how long had it been?
As expected… a genius who has awakened the Senju clan's talent…
Tsunade thought to herself.
"I'm confident I can handle it."
Shiro Akira nodded firmly. "I'm steadily improving in all areas. And I can use the Shadow Clone Technique to speed things up. I have to thank Big Sister Tsunade for giving me that technique last time—it's been a huge help."
"Speed things up?"
Tsunade turned to look at him with a speechless expression. "You're using the Shadow Clone Technique for studying? Do you even know how dangerous it can be if overused?"
Otherwise, why would the Multi Shadow Clone Technique be classified as a forbidden jutsu?
"I know."
Shiro Akira shrugged. "Double the fatigue and mental strain. But with my current mental strength and physical condition, creating three to five clones for training isn't a problem."
With his improved physique and greatly enhanced mental strength after awakening his memories, both his chakra reserves and endurance had increased significantly.
He wasn't at Naruto's level yet—creating dozens or hundreds of clones—but for now, it was more than enough.
"Good. As long as you understand."
Tsunade nodded in satisfaction.
What reassured her most about Shiro Akira was his composure.
At that moment, Tsunade had already selected several books. She handed the five thick volumes of medical knowledge to Shiro Akira and instructed, "Alright. Take these back and read them first. Come back to me once you've memorized everything."
