章 16: **Chapter 16: Is Sarutobi Shinnosuke Causing Trouble? Just Kill Him!**
"What? You mean the Hokage asked you to assassinate the Kazekage again?"
After hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Tsunade was speechless. This plan had already failed once—what chance was there now? Was this forcing Hatake Sakumo to contain the power of Sunagakure Village to secure a sufficient victory on the frontal battlefield?
The purpose? Could it be... Orochimaru?
Tsunade felt a wave of confusion.
"I have already applied for accompanying ninja, but…"
"Still the same guy?"
Seeing Hatake Sakumo hesitating to speak, Tsunade guessed that Sarutobi Shinnosuke might be involved in this mission.
"Yes."
"His strength is not enough to carry out this task."
"But after I mentioned that there was a high chance the assassination could be completed, this guy came to me saying it was Hokage-sama's arrangement."
Hatake Sakumo was also at a loss for words. This kind of person just wanted to take credit.
"Then you should be careful. Don't insist on things you can't do; prioritize your own safety."
"Okay, I'm going back to see my disciple."
Tsunade said a few brief words before bidding farewell to Hatake Sakumo.
**Konoha Hospital**
Preliminary emergency treatment for the injured patients in public and general wards had been completed. Next, it would take time for training and special medical treatment. The emergency care alone had exhausted both Reiki and Shizune.
At that moment, the two of them were resting in the lounge. Shizune took advantage of this time to record the day's gains. This girl was really hardworking.
"Reiki, come out for a moment."
Tsunade approached and saw Shizune there, prompting her to call for Reiki.
"I checked those two people. They were neither poisoned nor did they have stab wounds."
"Can you tell me how they died?" Tsunade asked directly, without hesitation. When it came to trouble, Danzo wouldn't resort to such foolish methods. The only explanation was that Reiki had killed the two.
Tsunade considered the possibility of poison or some special secret technique, but found no traces.
"This," Reiki said, pulling out Murasame.
"Is it the same as your giant sword? Is it special?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask as the ghostly aura around Reiki manifested.
"Ah. This sword is called Murasame. According to the notes left by my parents, it's a demon sword that contains the power of ghosts and gods. As long as the blade breaks the skin, it will take away the victim's life."
Reiki explained. Of course, he only dared to tell Tsunade this because she was his teacher and had a principled nature. Even if she knew the sword was unusual, she wouldn't try to take it from him.
"It's similar to a toxin with no antidote, which is quite remarkable. With your physical fitness, along with these two special ninja swords, you should be able to face some common dangers on the battlefield."
"Go back and get some rest. Tomorrow we'll set off with Hatake Sakumo to the front line," Tsunade said as she guided Reiki away. As for Shizune, Tsunade picked her up and headed toward the Senju Clan.
Upon arriving at the Senju clan grounds, they found that Hatake Sakumo was already there.
"Tsunade-sama, I still have some doubts and would like to ask," Hatake Sakumo said, looking helpless. If Sarutobi Shinnosuke were to go, the completion rate of the mission would basically double. However, despite being the Hokage's son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was far too weak—and he was also very arrogant.
"Come on, let's go inside," Tsunade replied, leading everyone into the courtyard.
After placing Shizune on the bed, Tsunade moved to the living room. Seeing Reiki there, she chose not to elaborate. She knew he wanted to learn about the situation on the battlefield.
"Tsunade-sama, is there any way to prevent Sarutobi Shinnosuke from leaving? Even if I go alone, I would have a greater chance of completing the mission," Hatake Sakumo expressed his thoughts.
"Take him with you. If you encounter danger, just kill him and return after completing the mission, right?" Reiki said, somewhat confused. Hatake Sakumo shouldn't have such doubts. If it were Reiki, he'd welcome the chance to dispose of someone like Sarutobi Shinnosuke midway through the mission. He could easily claim that the Kazekage had killed him and then be hailed as a hero of Konoha, celebrated for completing the mission against all odds.
"Kill him?"
"Reiki, you..." Tsunade initially wanted to reprimand him, but then she considered the situation. Indeed, for Hatake Sakumo, this could be the best solution. Otherwise, if the mission failed, they would have to return to the village, and Hatake Sakumo would face as much pressure as he did this time.
"No, you cannot attack your comrades," Hatake Sakumo insisted, a man of principle who wouldn't allow that.
"Take him with you. Regardless of whether you can complete the mission this time, just act as if you're alone. If he exposes himself or gets into danger, just follow the mission protocol," Tsunade said. While she wouldn't condone killing Sarutobi Shinnosuke, she couldn't afford to let the mission fail because of him.
"We can only proceed this way. I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."
Hatake Sakumo stood up, thanked Tsunade, and left.
"The only medical ninjutsu you currently master is the primary medical technique and the strange regeneration technique. I'll teach you some basic medical skills; remember them first. Then, slowly get used to it."
Two hours later, Reiki lay on his bed, with Shizune already asleep beside him. Yes, they were just children, and Tsunade was a slacker. Cleaning up a house was unprecedented for her.
"System, panel!" Reiki summoned his panel with a thought.

After reviewing the system panel, Reiki wasn't in a rush to open the gift pack. He realized that he had accumulated enough quality items, but there was an issue: his chakra was still too low.
"Let's start refining chakra." Using the practice method of manipulating both hands, Reiki slowly entered a meditative state.
