Chereads / Naruto: Starting with Tsunade-san / Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Killing and Setting Fire

Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Killing and Setting Fire

Using chakra with ice properties, a massive ice dragon was created, unstoppable by anything. Upon striking its target, it causes a massive explosion and results in an extreme freeze close to absolute zero, affecting all enemies within its range of attack.

Beneath this ninjutsu, a note explains that the creator of this jutsu was the founder of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, but he passed away before he could fully develop it.

When Uchiha Madara saw this ninjutsu, for the first time, his stern face showed a slightly satisfied expression: "Finally, a ninjutsu technique that seems reasonably powerful."

Uchiha Madara took the S-rank ninjutsu scroll and placed it inside his chest. As long as he took just one ninjutsu scroll, he was still able to take it.

After collecting all the valuable ninjutsu from this place, Uchiha Madara took one last look around to ensure he hadn't missed anything, then muttered, "And now..."

This pause didn't last long as a cunning smile appeared on Uchiha Madara's face.

He then made the old man retreat with him to the original room, deliberately taking a C-rank ninjutsu scroll with him. He closed the secret door, used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into a mysterious masked man, then released his control over the old man and removed some of his important memories.

Before the old man could wake up, Uchiha Madara had enough time to leave the place.

He didn't leave immediately but concealed his presence behind the door for a moment, precisely calculating the time, and then suddenly rushed inside.

When the old man saw the masked man, a look of great shock appeared on his face, and he angrily shouted, "Who are you, how dare you..."

But Uchiha Madara didn't waste time talking, he drew a shuriken and approached with lightning speed.

The old man was stunned, his face turned pale. He couldn't even finish his sentence before the shuriken pierced his throat, blood spurted out violently, his eyes widened to the fullest in extreme terror, and he lost his life within a single breath.

Uchiha Madara didn't know this old man, but judging by his access to this place and his combat skills, it was clear he was a somewhat important figure.

Uchiha Madara lightly pushed the old man, causing him to fall on his back, his eyes wide open in an expression of final agony, while dark red, dirty blood poured out heavily onto the ground.

After finishing all this, Uchiha Madara didn't stop. He re-entered the secret door, looked at the large number of scrolls preserved in this place by the Yuki Clan, and smiled darkly. Then he set a large fire that burned all the precious treasures left by previous generations.

In this room, isolated from the outside, there was enough time to burn everything completely. By the time the ninjas outside reacted, the fire would have spread beyond the room, and everything inside would have turned to ash.

Surely they would investigate and examine the old man's memory. They would conclude that a masked man had killed him and burned all the ninjutsu inside the secret door.

At this time, Uchiha Madara would deliberately display the insignificant C-rank scroll, leading the Yuki Clan to conclude that the important ninjutsu hadn't been burned but was stolen by someone to be sold. They would exert all their efforts to search for it.

At this point, Uchiha Madara would hand over all the ice techniques he obtained to Tōshirō, and he would have a logical reason for it.

These are all ice techniques the Uchiha Clan acquired after paying a large sum to a mysterious person, specifically for Tōshirō to train with.

Tōshirō would be aware of these matters and would be immensely grateful, remembering these favors, which would strengthen his close relationship with the Uchiha Clan. In doing so, Uchiha Madara would be able to exert greater influence over Tōshirō by controlling the Uchiha Clan leader, Itachi.

Meanwhile, Tōshirō would receive great benefits, while the Ice Clan would suffer significant losses. And when they learned that all their ninjutsu techniques had been learned by an outsider, they would do everything they could to kill Kozan.

And those ninjas who possess the same ice ability would undoubtedly be the best testing stones for training Tōshirō in the ice technique.

Uchiha Madara believes that the right time to achieve this goal will come soon.

Now, Tobirama has gone to negotiate with the Second Raikage, and based on his skills, Uchiha Madara believes it is highly likely that the negotiations will succeed and peace will prevail.

But this peace will be temporary, and soon a new battle will erupt.

During this time, Uchiha Madara will train Tōshirō well. Tōshirō is now ten years old, and within four or five years, even without using the Sharingan's ability, he can be developed into a Jonin-level ninja with ease.

But this level of power is not enough to ensure safety amidst the surrounding war. At this time, Tōshirō is likely to reveal the Sharingan's abilities to the world, and when that happens, Tōshirō will become a target of suspicion and caution by the higher-ups, led by Tobirama.

During this period, Tōshirō will begin to empathize with the rest of his clan members who are subjected to the same treatment, and over time his heart will begin to corrupt and weaken.

At this time, Uchiha Madara will have the opportunity to plant the seed of darkness in Tōshirō's heart, and over time this seed will grow and flourish, and eventually, under Uchiha Madara's influence, this seed will explode, and Tōshirō will sink into darkness and become the perfect tool for Uchiha Madara.

...

"Ah~~ I'm feeling sleepy."

Due to the forced change in his lifestyle, combined with the strenuous training in the morning, Tōshirō yawned as he headed towards the hospital.

He wasn't going because of an illness but to learn healing ninjutsu from the medical ninjas. His family had informed the leaders there in advance, so he just needed to go directly.

Medical ninjas share the same office building with ordinary doctors, not because they are unwelcome or don't have their own building, but to avoid any emergencies, where the medical ninjas are ready to intervene.

For example, if there is a patient on the brink of death, the "Medical Hand" technique would work much better than any intravenous solutions. It is also said that this technique has a calming effect, as it can put someone to sleep instantly. In many cases, patients with severe injuries are brought to the hospital, and when they wake up, they find themselves completely healed, which is considered a miracle.

And sometimes, the medical ninjas take on the tasks of ordinary doctors.

Although medical ninjas aren't considered important among other ninjas, they are seen as gods in the eyes of ordinary people. As soon as a medical ninja appears to schedule an appointment, patients rush to book a spot, making them scramble to reach them.

Tōshirō pushed open the hospital door, and there was active movement inside. People were either sitting on the general chairs waiting for their turn, paying fees at the window, or moving between the various departments, and no one was idle.

It seems that hospitals everywhere are the busiest places. Tōshirō sighed and realized that working here would be tough, and he couldn't be complacent.

He had told his friends, Tsunade and the others, that he intended only to gain a superficial knowledge, but he knew he had to study seriously. If he couldn't save people and instead caused their death, he would feel guilty.

Since his childhood, Tōshirō had been strong and had never fallen ill, so this was his first visit to the hospital, and he didn't know the way to the medical ninjas' section, but this wasn't a problem as he expected there to be a receptionist in the lobby who could guide those unfamiliar with the place.

Tōshirō looked around and soon found a beautiful girl standing out in the crowd.

She was smiling kindly, and although it was a professional smile, it was incredibly infectious. She was wearing a white nurse's uniform that perfectly matched her smile, making Tōshirō feel at ease.

Tōshirō praised himself, saying that the nurse's uniform is one of the greatest inventions in human history. He never understood why Jiraiya was interested in outfits like the bunny or leopard with an enticing pattern, while he preferred more conservative attire.

Tōshirō shook his head and said to himself, "It seems human emotions don't always align."

The receptionist girl noticed a small child approaching her and smiled at him, saying, "Little one, do you need any help?"

Tōshirō responded, "Yes, please, pretty lady, how can I get to the medical ninjas' section?"

The receptionist was a little surprised and asked him, "Why do you want to go to the medical ninjas' section?"

Tōshirō explained his intention, and the receptionist considered him a "colleague" at work.

When the receptionist learned that Tōshirō intended to become a medical ninja, her perception of him changed, and she said, "You look very young."

Tōshirō confirmed that he was about ten years old and that his name was Tōshirō.

The receptionist said in surprise, "Only ten years old? The difference between us isn't that big, just ten years."

Tōshirō wondered, "Ten years?"

The girl nervously tried to hide her tension: "Nothing..."

She realized that medical ninjas earn high salaries and live safer lives, which made Tōshirō seem like a suitable husband, especially since she was attracted to younger guys.

Due to this sudden admiration, the girl became very friendly with Tōshirō and asked, "Tōshirō, are you free this Sunday?"

Tōshirō, puzzled, asked, "???"

The girl clarified, "You're new to the hospital and probably don't know many colleagues. I'll organize a welcome party for you so we can get to know you better and share experiences."

Tōshirō, understanding, replied, "Oh, I see."

Tōshirō felt that his decision to become a medical ninja was indeed a wise one.

After bidding farewell to the friendly receptionist, Tōshirō arrived at the medical ninja office and politely knocked twice. It wasn't long before he heard a mature woman's voice from inside, granting him permission to enter.

As Tōshirō stepped in, he laid eyes on a young woman with brown hair tied in a ponytail.

Recognizing the figure, Tōshirō thought to himself, "Is she Jonin Bibako?"
