Back at Tsunade's house, Reiki dived straight into the food, finally able to eat after the long night's work. The interrogation department had neither provided food nor a decent place to eat.
Seeing Reiki eating ravenously, Tsunade watched him with narrowed eyes, which made Reiki slowly approach her after he'd finished.
"Sensei, I was wrong," Reiki admitted sincerely.
"Oh? And what exactly do you think you did wrong?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow, hiding her surprise at Reiki's sudden confession.
"Not sure," he replied, then added earnestly, "but whatever it was, it must have been bad enough to make you unhappy."
"Pfft…" At this, Nozuki and Shizune couldn't hold back their laughter, and even Shisui chuckled.
"Alright, alright… you rascal," Tsunade muttered, trying to keep her composure. "Next time, if anyone from the interrogation department wants your help, make sure they send a proper mission request. You're not free labor."
"Yes, Sensei!" Reiki grinned.
"Good. And remember to collect your payment from the hospital regularly," she added, relieved she'd made her point.
With that sorted, Reiki left the house with Shisui, Nozuki, and Shizune to check on the training ground, where a team member lay seriously injured in the medical area. The hospital medical staff had been helping, but Reiki's skills would be invaluable.
As soon as they arrived, the head medical ninja spotted Reiki. "You're here! This injury is severe—multiple fractures with broken bones piercing into the organs. It'll take too long if we wait to transport him back to the hospital."
"No problem," Reiki replied, stepping up to the injured ninja. With practiced movements, Reiki set the bones and repaired the internal injuries. His hands glowed as he worked, the chakra flowing perfectly.
"Thank you! I…" The ninja trailed off, smiling in relief as Reiki finished.
"That'll be 10,000 Ryo for medicinal materials," Reiki said, cutting in, "I recently learned this special technique to treat hidden injuries. The medicinal materials I need for it are top-tier."
"Uh, right…" The ninja looked surprised but fumbled out the money, trusting Reiki completely.
Reiki continued through the medical area, stopping to treat ninjas one by one, giving each a precise treatment plan. By the time he was done, he'd collected a substantial sum from the grateful shinobi.
"Reiki, here's what you asked for!" Shisui returned with bags of medicinal materials, a bit out of breath. "Sorry it took so long—some things were out of stock."
Before Shisui could finish, Reiki handed him a large stack of money. "Here's the payment. And here's a new list. If you can't find it in the shop, try the Nara clan's storehouse."
Shisui took the money, looking a bit bewildered as Reiki gathered the medicinal herbs and slipped away to the side compartment to start preparing potions.
Within minutes, he returned with bottles of the healing potion he'd made, beginning his rounds of treatment. Each ninja received the potion before Reiki released his chakra, creating a soothing wave of energy that rapidly accelerated the healing.
By the end of the day, Reiki's work had transformed the training ground into something resembling a small clinic, as word spread quickly about his treatment. Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru stood by, watching with a mixture of surprise and admiration.
"My meridians are clear, I can feel my chakra flow again!"
"Brother Reiki, thank you!"
"I thought my hand would never fully heal after that mission, but… I can hold a kunai again!"
As grateful shinobi lined up to see him, Reiki quickly became known as "Konoha's Little Medical Saint." The number of people seeking his help and the appointments made for future treatments quickly multiplied, and by the end of the day, Reiki's personal stash of medicinal supplies had increased significantly.

Back at Tsunade's house, Reiki washed up and returned to his room. Shisui and Nozuki were already sitting in meditation, refining their chakra.
"System," Reiki muttered, opening his panel.
**14 surprise gift bags?** He stared at the number on the screen, and, without a second thought, tapped to open them all.
