Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 38 Murder and Arson

He created a giant ice dragon using ice-attribute chakra. It was unstoppable and caused a massive explosion upon hitting its target, freezing all enemies within its range to near absolute zero.

This ninjutsu also has a note below, saying that it was created by the creator of the Ice Release bloodline limit, but he unfortunately passed away before he could fully develop it.

Upon seeing this ninjutsu, Madara Uchiha's usually stern face revealed a rare hint of satisfaction: "Finally, a ninjutsu that's even remotely decent..."

Madara Uchiha tucked the S-rank ninjutsu scroll into his pocket. He could still take it with him if he only carried one ninjutsu scroll.

After searching the area for all valuable ninjutsu, Madara Uchiha gave a final, careful look around to make sure nothing was missed, then muttered, "So, what's next..."

The pause didn't last long; a sly smile appeared on Madara Uchiha's face.

He ordered the old man to retreat to his original room with him, and deliberately took a scroll of a C-rank ninjutsu with him. He closed the secret door, used a transformation technique to become a mysterious masked man, then released the old man from his control and erased some of his key memories.

Madara Uchiha had ample time to leave before the old man awoke.

Instead of leaving immediately, he concealed his presence behind the door, timed it perfectly, and then rushed in.

The old man, seeing the masked man again, was utterly astonished and angrily demanded, "Who on earth dares to...?"

Madara Uchiha didn't waste any words. He drew a shuriken and closed in on him with lightning speed.

The old man was horrified, his face turning deathly pale. Before he could even finish speaking, a sharp shuriken pierced his throat and tongue, blood gushing out. His eyes widened in terror, and within a single breath, he was lifeless.

Madara Uchiha did not recognize the old man, but judging from the fact that the man was able to come and go from here and his relatively good skills, he should be a rather important person.

Madara Uchiha gently pushed the old man, whose face showed the pain of impending death. The old man fell backward, his head hitting the ground, and a turbid red stream gushed out, staining the ground red.

After dealing with all this, Madara Uchiha did not stop. He followed the same method, entered the secret door, and looked at the large number of scrolls in the Snow Clan's collection. A sinister smile appeared on his upturned lips, and he set the precious collection left by his predecessors in flames.

Inside this secluded chamber, there was ample time for everything to burn. By the time the ninjas outside reacted, the fire had already spread outside, and everything inside had long since turned to ashes.

In order to obtain the results of the investigation, these people will definitely conduct a memory search on the old man's body outside, and they will see the conclusion that a masked man killed him and burned all the ninjutsu inside the secret door.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha deliberately left the neglected C-rank scroll exposed. The Yuki clan, upon receiving this information, would be guided to conclude that their important ninjutsu had not been burned but had been sold, and would certainly spare no effort in searching for it.

At this point, Madara Uchiha had a legitimate reason to hand over all the Ice Release ninjutsu he had acquired to Aokiji.

These ice-style ninjutsu were all purchased by the Uchiha clan from a mysterious person at a high price, specifically for Aokiji to train.

Knowing this and having received these benefits, Aokiji will surely be deeply moved and remember these kindnesses, forming an even stronger emotional bond with the Uchiha clan. In this way, Madara Uchiha, who controls Elder Itachi, will be able to exert more influence on Aokiji.

In this process, Aokiji gained the benefits, while the Yuki clan suffered huge losses. Once they learn that all of their clan's ninjutsu has been learned by an outsider, they will definitely spare no effort to kill Aokiji.

These ninjas who share the same Ice Release Kekkei Genkai as Aokiji are undoubtedly the best testing ground for verifying the success of their Ice Release training.

And this is the time, which Madara Uchiha believed would arrive very soon.

Now Tomona has gone to negotiate with the second generation of Raikage. With his wrist, Uchiha Madara believes that there should be a high probability that the negotiation will be successful, and the world will usher in peace.

However, this peace is short-lived, and new battles will soon follow.

During this time, Madara Uchiha will train Aokiji well. Aokiji is ten years old now, and in four or five years, even without using the Sharingan, it won't be a problem to train him to become a Jonin.

However, such strength is certainly not enough to guarantee safety in a war where danger surrounds us. In the process, Aokiji will inevitably expose his Sharingan abilities to the world. At this time, Aokiji, who possesses great strength, will inevitably become the target of suspicion, alienation, vigilance, and suppression by the higher-ups led by Tobirama.

During this process, Aokiji will begin to empathize with those who are also alienated from their tribe. Living in such an environment for a long time will gradually corrupt his soul and make him fragile.

This presents a perfect opportunity for Madara Uchiha to exploit. With a little guidance, Madara could plant a seed of darkness in Aokiji's fragile heart. Once planted, the seed would take root and sprout, eventually being detonated by Madara. At that point, Aokiji would be completely mired in darkness, becoming Madara's perfect tool.

……

……

"Ah~~ I'm so sleepy."

Having forcibly changed his sleep schedule, coupled with his frantic training this morning, Aokiji yawned as he headed towards the hospital.

It wasn't because he was sick or anything; he was going to learn medical ninjutsu from the medical ninjas. His clan had already informed the department head beforehand, so he could just go directly.

Medical ninjas share an office building with regular doctors. It's not that medical ninjas are disliked or that poor doctors don't even have their own office building. Rather, it's because if something unexpected happens, the medical ninjas will be there to cover for them.

For example, a patient who is hanging on by a thread will definitely benefit more from a palm strike than from an IV drip.

It is said that the Palm Immortal Technique also has the effect of a sleeping potion, which can directly put people to sleep. In many cases, those critically injured patients who are on the verge of death are sent to the hospital and wake up to find that they have recovered, which can be called a miracle.

Furthermore, sometimes medical ninjas will even take on the role of ordinary doctors.

Medical ninjas are disliked by other ninjas, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are like gods. Once a medical ninja appears on the job, he will be overwhelmed with patients.

Aokiji pushed open the hospital door and found it bustling with people. Some were sitting on public chairs waiting to be called, some were paying at the payment window, and some were moving between different departments. Almost no one was idle.

No matter where you are, hospitals always seem to be the busiest places. Aokiji sighed, feeling that things would be tough here from now on, and he couldn't just give up.

He had previously told Tsunade and the others that he only intended to dabble in the subject, but he still wanted to learn it seriously, lest he accidentally kill someone instead of saving them, which would make him feel very guilty.

Aokiji has always been very healthy and has never been sick. This is his first time here, so he is very unfamiliar with the place and doesn't even know how to get to the medical department. But that's okay. According to the plan, there should be a receptionist in the lobby who can guide people who are not familiar with the area.

Aokiji looked around and quickly spotted a beautiful young lady who stood out from the crowd in the bustling throng.

Her smile was warm and inviting. Although I knew it was a professional smile, I had to admit it was incredibly infectious. Paired with a snow-white nurse's uniform, the two complemented each other perfectly. Seeing that smile felt like a purification to the whole person.

Aokiji clicked his tongue in admiration, saying that the nurse's uniform was truly one of the greatest inventions in human history. He really didn't understand why Jiraiya would be interested in those slutty and cheap types like bunny girls and leopard print. Wasn't pure love better?

Aokiji shook his head. Indeed, human joys and sorrows are not shared.

The receptionist saw a little boy walking towards him and smiled, "Little friend, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, how do I get to the Medical Ninja Department?"

The receptionist looked puzzled. "What are you doing going to the medical ninja area?"

Aokiji didn't hide anything and stated his purpose, so this receptionist could be considered a "colleague" in a sense.

Upon hearing that Aokiji wanted to become a medical ninja, the receptionist's eyes changed: "You look very young."

Aokiji was very young, and after the initial shock, he quickly calmed down. After all, there were examples outside of six-year-old children fighting alongside adults.

"Yes, I'm about ten years old, and my name is Aokiji."

"Ten years...it's only ten years apart, not that big."

The receptionist muttered something.

Aokiji was taken aback: 10 years apart?

"It's nothing..."

The receptionist blinked her bright eyes.

Medical ninjas earn very high salaries and their lives are guaranteed, making it a perfect job for a rich and handsome man. Most importantly, she's a boy-lover.

Suddenly, she became incredibly enthusiastic towards Aokiji, lining up to welcome him: "Aokiji, are you free this week...?"

"???"

"You've just arrived at the hospital, so you must not know many of your colleagues. I'll throw you a welcome party so we can all have more in-depth exchanges about our work."

Aokiji responded with "Oh, oh," indicating that he understood.

The receptionist was so kind and helpful.

Aokiji suddenly realized that becoming a medical ninja was an incredibly wise choice.

After saying goodbye to the warm and hospitable receptionist, Aokiji arrived at the office where the medical ninja was located. He politely knocked twice on the door, and soon a mature female voice came from inside, inviting him to come in.

As Aokiji entered the room, a young woman with a chestnut-colored ponytail came into view.

Aokiji recognized the person, recalled the name for a moment, and said, "A Jonin from Lake Biwa?"
