Tsunade stood dumbfounded, watching as Reiki sold his potions during the ongoing mission. It was remarkable how quickly they sold out.
"Tsunade, your disciple is quite the character!" Jiraiya remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Were you involved in making those potions?"
"No," Tsunade replied, shaking her head. "He probably made them all by himself. I think I understand now why he asked Uchiha for medicinal materials earlier. He was concocting something like this."
Tsunade felt a mix of pride and concern. The art of medicine wasn't merely about mixing ingredients; it was an intricate science. The skills involved required years of training and experience. She suspected that Reiki must have gone through some sort of adventure to acquire unique formulas.

Meanwhile, a few ninjas from Kirigakure were lurking nearby, their expressions twisted in frustration.
"Can someone explain what's happening with these Konoha ninjas?" one of them growled. The thin man with triangular eyes was clearly furious. "How can they keep rushing back into battle, healing their injuries as if nothing happened? Was this part of the intel you gathered?"
As the person in charge of this operation, the jounin had received no information about this peculiar medical ninja. Their goal was to hold back Tsunade, one of Konoha's legendary three ninjas, but she hadn't even made an appearance yet. Instead, the battlefield had turned against them, the Konoha guards fighting on as if they were invincible.
"Lord Sheila, there is indeed a ninja among them, but he's not revealed himself yet," one of the other ninjas reported, looking anxious. "His name is Reiki, Tsunade Senju's disciple. He's a medical ninja."
"Here's the information we have on him," the ninja added, presenting a scroll to Sheila before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"Reiki?" Sheila read aloud, his face darkening. "Tsunade's seven-year-old disciple? He's already passed the medical ninja exam and is hailed as a genius who might surpass her? This kid has mastered special medical ninjutsu, allowing him to heal injuries and remove toxins in no time…"
The more he read, the more Sheila's frustration grew. "So it is because of this brat that we're in this mess! Uri, Lona, go and eliminate this medical ninja!"
Sheila would not allow this mission to fail. It held the promise of immense rewards for Kirigakure Village, and he had issued a military order before departing.
"Understood," the two jounin nodded and vanished using a teleportation technique, heading to confront the lone genin.

As the Kirigakure ninjas moved stealthily through the mist, they soon approached the caravan. Shisui and Nozuki were completely engrossed in the battle unfolding before them, unaware of the impending danger.
"Who are you?" Reiki called out as the two Mist ninjas suddenly appeared before him.
Before he could finish, they launched their attack.
"Ding!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out as their kunai were blocked by a bright figure in front of Reiki.
"What is this... a puppet?" the two Mist ninjas exclaimed, momentarily stunned.
"Who says a medical ninja can't be a puppet master?" Reiki grinned, raising his hand as the puppet lunged forward to counterattack.
This puppet, a manifestation of Reiki's jutsu, was a result of his recent training. He had been pondering how to explain his powers, and puppetry felt like the perfect cover.
The two ninjas scrambled to defend themselves as the puppet, enhanced by Reiki's swordsmanship, struck like a ghost.
"I won't let you escape!" Reiki declared, his voice low and determined. The speed and precision of his attacks were overwhelming.
Within minutes, their bodies were riddled with injuries, blood loss leaving them dizzy. They were on the verge of collapse.
As they tried to retreat, Reiki's puppet wouldn't allow it. With the speed and agility of a true warrior, Reiki continued to press the attack, relentless and merciless.
The two jounin, despite their ranks, could barely keep up. They hadn't anticipated such a formidable foe, especially one so young.
"You'll regret coming here," Reiki taunted, pressing his advantage.
"W-What do you want?" Uri gasped, fear creeping into his voice as Reiki approached with a devilish grin.
"I'm a medical ninja! What bad intentions could I possibly have?" Reiki replied, his eyes glinting with mischief. "I just… can't help but want to treat the injured when I see them."
With a flick of his wrist, Reiki activated a healing technique, enveloping the two ninjas in a gentle light as he began to mend their wounds. Simultaneously, he searched through their memories, pulling out vital information even as they healed.
In a daze, Reiki consumed several stamina potions. He was eager to restore his own chakra, knowing that this battle wasn't yet over.
"Alright, you've been healed," he said, stepping back and surveying his handiwork.
"Really okay?" Uri asked incredulously, testing his limbs. The bewilderment on his face was evident.
But before they could ponder the situation any further, Reiki lunged at them once more.
"Why were you so careless and got hurt again…" he chuckled, preparing to engage once more.

And so the battle continued, Reiki's laughter echoing through the mist, leaving the Kirigakure ninjas caught between disbelief and fear as they faced this unique and powerful medical ninja.
