Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

He had become somewhat obsessed with the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage.

He felt that the entire meaning of his life was to find the prophesied child mentioned by the Great Toad Sage and give him the right guidance; nothing else mattered.

Throughout the entire series, Jiraiya is the only person in the entire ninja world who voluntarily summons himself to help his summoned beasts.

"But... is this kid really a medical ninja?"

After observing for a while, Jiraiya thought to himself with some uncertainty.

This kid is holding a chakra blade in his hand, and he can stab people in the heart with one accuracy. He strikes without hesitation and with ruthlessness. Is this really a medical ninja who saves lives?

...His brutality is comparable to Tsunade's!

"Napaki-kun, danger! I'm coming to save you!"

Orochimaru looked at Nawaki, who had penetrated deep into enemy territory, and his pale face contorted with worry.

"Nawaki-kun, I will never let you be in danger again!"

Orochimaru leaped down from the cave with a whoosh, waving his arms, and scientifically headed straight for the rope tree.

"Ahem, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen Orochimaru with such a rich array of expressions on his face," Jiraiya exclaimed in amazement.

"Say less, Jiraiya."

Tsunade did not participate in the battle, even though she was very worried about Nawaki and Chiba. After all, Jiraiya was in a condition where he needed her constant protection.

"The three legendary ninjas are over there!"

Orochimaru's charge into the battlefield exposed Tsunade and Orochimaru's location, and immediately more than a dozen Iwa ninja rushed toward the cave.

Bang!Bang!

Tsunade blocked the cave entrance and delivered two powerful punches, one to each of the two Iwa ninja who were the first to rush in, sending them to their deaths.

The Senju clan's superhuman strength is no joke. They can precisely control their chakra, concentrating it in one place for a sudden burst, easily shattering hard rocks, let alone the fragile human body.

"We've arrived, Lady Tsunade!"

With Kosuke's masterful water-style cover and Orochimaru's overwhelming breakthrough, Chiba, Nawaki, and Nono overcame numerous obstacles and finally rushed into the cave.

"Lady Tsunade, please leave Jiraiya to me!"

As soon as Chiba entered the cave, he saw Jiraiya lying on the ground, unable to get up.

"Reward! Reward! Reward!"

Chiba's eyes lit up instantly, his gaze fixed on the injured Jiraiya, completely ignoring Tsunade who was raising her arms to give him a hug.

"Hehe, sis, don't you usually hate this cheesy stuff the most? Women really are all hypocrites."

Nawaki, unaware of what was going on, happily gave Tsunade a hug with open arms, then teased her with a sly grin.

"Ouch, sis, be gentle!"

Tsunade didn't say anything, but silently increased the strength of her arm, almost strangling Nawaki to death.

"Let me help too," Nono said, having volunteered to follow along.

Nonou is known as a walking shrine maiden and is highly skilled in medical ninjutsu. If it weren't for Danzo's threat, she would have preferred to become a medical ninja.

"Big sister, let's leave Lord Jiraiya in Chiba's care. We siblings will go fight the enemy!" Nawaki said with a smile.

“This…” Tsunade hesitated upon hearing this.

She looked at Kosuke beside her, and only when she saw him nod slightly at her did she feel relieved, both by Chiba's medical skills and Kosuke's fighting prowess.

"Okay, let's go!"

Before leaving the cave, Tsunade turned around and glanced at Chiba, only to find that Chiba and Nonou were treating Jiraiya hand in hand.

"Damn it, I'm so angry!"

Tsunade's anger surged, and she took a powerful step, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the thick rocky ground.

"Nawaki, tell me, who is that woman next to Chiba?"

As Tsunade and Nawaki charged into the enemy ranks, fighting side by side, she asked, clearly annoyed.

"Oh, her."

After Nawaki killed an Iwa ninja with a single blow, he shrugged and said, "Who else could it be but Chiba's little girlfriend?"

"After Chiba touched him, he chased after Chiba all the way, wanting Chiba to take responsibility." That's what Nawaki thought anyway.

Otherwise, why would a member of an intelligence unit go back to report after completing a mission, instead of going to the battlefield?

Bang!

Tsunade, expressionless, threw a punch that shattered the head of an Iwa ninja.

Looking at the head, which was shattered like a watermelon, Rope Tree felt a chill run down his spine.

"What's wrong with my sis? Why is she acting so strangely again?"

Nawaki, confused, muttered to himself, "Women are such a hassle. Chiba is much easier to get along with..."

Chapter 20 Jiraiya's Request

Meanwhile, in the cave on the other side.

Looking at Chiba, who was doing everything he could to save him, Jiraiya's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"To possess medical skills comparable to Tsunade at such a young age... could it be him?"

Jiraiya could sense that Chiba was in charge of the entire treatment process, while the seemingly more experienced Nonou was merely assisting from the sidelines.

Chiba's precise control over chakra and his effortless mastery of medical ninjutsu made Jiraiya's gaze towards him grow even more profound.

[Ding! Healing successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the ninjutsu "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld" and "Fire Release: Flame Bullet"!]

After the treatment, a system notification sounded, and Chiba instantly showed a satisfied smile.

"As expected of the Legendary Sannin, they used two ninjutsu on me with just a fatal wound!"

["Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld": A ninjutsu that creates a massive swamp beneath the enemy's feet, causing them to sink into it and be submerged.]

【"Fire Release: Flame Bullet": A strange flame attack, primarily a fire release technique used to catch the opponent off guard.】

"Hmm, I wonder if it's because I only have three chakra natures: fire, earth, and yang, that the techniques the system rewards me with are all limited to these three natures..."

Chiba stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The power inherited from the Senju bloodline is mainly manifested in "physical constitution". Not every Senju clan member possesses both water and earth chakra attributes, so Chiba did not acquire the water attribute.

"I wonder if the system can grant me a new chakra attribute, otherwise how will I use the Bloodline Limit to heal and save lives in the future!"

……

Although Tsunade and Orochimaru were not at their peak, with the help of Konoha reinforcements, they easily dealt with a group of nameless Iwa ninja.

The battle ended quickly, and Konoha was undoubtedly victorious, thwarting Iwagakure's plot to annihilate the Sannin.

The remaining Konoha ninja were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, while Tsunade took Nawaki back to the cave to check on Jiraiya's condition.

Orochimaru, despite his cold words, also followed Jiraiya back to the cave, secretly keeping an eye on him.

"Phew... Jiraiya, it's good that you're alright."

When they saw that Jiraiya's complexion was rosy and he was able to chat and laugh with Chiba and the others, both Tsunade and Orochimaru secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lady Tsunade, now that you're back, I'll head out to help. There must be quite a few wounded people outside who need treatment."

Upon seeing Tsunade and the others return, Chiba quickly stood up and spoke.

Jiraiya has already been fleeced, so he plans to find another place to buy more goods.

"Damn it, I just got back from the battlefield, and you don't even say a word of concern before leaving like this?!"

Upon hearing Chiba's words, Tsunade was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly again.

"I'll go with you, Chiba."

At that moment, Nono also stood up and said softly.

Bang!

A loud bang rang out, and Rope Tree turned his head in a daze, only to see his older sister withdrawing her fist with a gloomy expression, and a hole three or four meters wide had appeared on the once smooth mountain wall.

"Gudu."

"What's wrong with my sister lately? Why does she get so angry all the time? Is she going through menopause?" Rope Tree swallowed hard, thinking to himself.

"No wonder he didn't want to stay with me, turns out he's bewitched by this little vixen."

Tsunade's blonde hair fluttered, her cold gaze shifting between Chiba and Nono, radiating a low-pressure aura from within.

"Where...where did I offend Lady Tsunade?"

Sensing Tsunade's murderous intent directed at him, Chiba trembled.

"Don't rush off, Chiba."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Jiraiya, who had been leaning against the rock, managed to sit up.

"Chiba, you haven't become an apprentice yet, right?"

Jiraiya slowly walked to Chiba's side, smiling as he extended a hand to Chiba.

"So, how about it? Do you want to be my Jiraiya's apprentice?"

"Ah?"

Chiba was taken aback, feeling that the scene before him seemed somewhat familiar.

"Jiraiya, what are you doing here causing trouble!"

Tsunade said irritably, "Chiba is a medical ninja. Even if he wants to become an apprentice, he should learn medical ninjutsu from me. What kind of nonsense is it to learn from you? It's neither fish nor fowl!"

There was no way around it; despite her anger, Tsunade still had to consider Chiba's future, and Chiba following her was the best choice.

"hehe."

At this moment, Orochimaru laughed and said slowly, "Speaking of which, I once mentioned that I wanted to take Chiba-kun as my disciple, but unfortunately he refused."

"Hey, Chiba, you're something else!" Nawaki teased with a grin. "To have all three of them fighting over you, you truly are worthy of being my brother, Nawaki!"
