Chapter 5 Hospitalization

"Well"

Okamoto Dousuke opened his eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling.

Just as he was about to raise his hand, he found something restraining his arm. He turned around and saw an infusion needle stuck in his arm.

"You're awake." A voice came from the next bed.

He looked up and said, "Kakashi, why are you here? I remember I seemed to have fainted. Where is this?" Okamoto Dousuke asked Kakashi.

"Hospital, Konoha Hospital. Because of yesterday's battle, my arm was injured, and I was sent to Konoha Hospital with you. And you fainted due to excessive chakra extraction. Fortunately, Lady Tsunade treated you, otherwise you might have been unconscious for two days." Kakashi explained with his hands behind his head and his back leaning against the pillow.

"Squeak!"

After the door opened, Hondou Ryo came in with two fruit baskets in his hands and placed them on Kakashi and Okamoto Dousuke's bedside tables respectively.

"You two, what's wrong with you? Didn't we say before the game that friendship comes first? You still have a long future!" Hondou Ryo looked at them and kept talking. These two students were the best students he had taught so far. When he saw them faint, he was also worried.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hondou, for making you worry. And Kakashi, I'm sorry for getting you hurt." Okamoto Dousuke lifted the quilt covering himself, sat up straight and apologized to the two of them.

"I should also say sorry to you. I used to be prejudiced against you, but now I admit that you have the same strength as mine, Dousuke-kun." Kakashi looked at Okamoto Dousuke.

"A person's value of existence should not be reflected by ranking. If one day, reputation becomes a burden to you or a constraint for you, what will you do? Hatake Kakashi," Okamoto Dousuke asked Kakashi.

"I, I don't know." Kakashi looked at his injured right hand and said nothing more.

"Okay, okay, stop changing the subject to this." Hondou Ryo looked at the two people who had stopped talking.

"By the way, I'm here for another thing, Dousuke. When I came here just now, I met Lady Tsunade at the door of the hospital. She said that if you wake up, go to the third floor of the hospital to find her." After Hondou Ryo finished speaking, he looked at Kakashi with an amazed and regretful look, "Kakashi, the Third Hokage has specially approved your graduation application. After the injury on your hand heals, go directly to the Ninja Registration Office to report."

When Ryo Hondou walked to the door, he turned his back to Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, I always feel that you are too young. Even though you are already good enough, but..." After that, Ryo Hondou limped away.

"Congratulations, Kakashi, you are one step ahead of me in this regard," said Okamoto Dousuke.

"With your ability, you can apply for early graduation." Kakashi glanced at him and said nothing else.

Okamoto Dousuke looked at the IV bag above his head. It was still too early for the IV to finish, so he stood up and pulled out the needle himself. Then he tidied up his clothes and prepared to meet the future fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade.

Okamoto Dousuke walked to the third floor. The doorplates had the names of the dean, the dean's assistant, and the heads of various departments.

"Oh, this auntie is really annoying. She doesn't even tell me where exactly she is." Okamoto Dousuke had been wandering in the corridor on the third floor for a while, but he was not sure which one was Tsunade's room. When he went upstairs just now, Okamoto Dousuke asked the nurse in the hospital.

But the hospital staff usually don't go to the third floor, which is where the offices of the hospital's senior staff are. And Tsunade doesn't stay in the hospital very often.

Just as Okamoto Dousuke was hesitating whether to knock on the door with the sign of the dean on it, the door of the room on the southernmost side opened.

A person with long black hair walked out. His skin was not as white as Okamoto Dousuke's, but a pale one. As he walked, the blue jade earrings hanging on his earlobes kept shaking.

The rope behind him, symbolizing a snake, seemed to come alive in the dark corridor.

The long golden pupils were fixed on Okamoto Dousuke who was still carrying the fruit basket.

Okamoto Dousuke suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"I remember you, kid." Looking at Okamoto Dousuke's expression, Orochimaru sneered. The purple eyeshadow that extended to the nose was more like the open skin wrinkles of a cobra, as if it would attack in the next second.

Okamoto Dousuke was being stared at as Orochimaru approached him step by step. His brain clearly reminded him to move, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Orochimaru, I hope you can restrain yourself a little." Tsunade shouted loudly in the room.

"I'm sorry, Tsunade. I saw a good seedling and couldn't help myself." The low words were like a poisonous snake before launching an attack.

"Tsunade is waiting for you, go ahead kid."

Withdrawing his aura, Okamoto Dousuke breathed heavily, and ran past Orochimaru towards the room that Orochimaru had just walked out of.

Looking at Okamoto Dousuke who was knocking on the door, Orochimaru curled his lips and walked towards the stairs without saying a word.

"Tuk, duh."

"Come in." A powerful voice with a hint of dominance came.

Okamoto Dousuke, pushed the door open and went in.

What came into view was a clean and tidy office. At a glance, there was no bed. There were bookcases filled with books on the wall, and a work desk in the middle. There were tea cups and tea sets on the desk that had not been put away in time.

Tsunade was wearing a white short-sleeved open-collared top that only reached her waist.

The smooth waist is tightly wrapped in a tight black mesh suit. Not only is there not a trace of fat, but it also highlights the round and cute belly button. The lower body is a red short skirt that only reaches the half of the thigh. The one-piece mesh suit acts as a safety pants and is tightly wrapped to the area near the knees.

She was not wearing the traditional heeled sandals, but ten gem-like nipples neatly arranged in the toeless ninja boots. Her playful golden hair was tied into a ponytail, swinging back and forth behind her head. She did not look like the three great ninjas in the ninja world, but more like a girlish girl next door.

Tsunade lay on the windowsill, looking down, without turning around.

"Lady Tsunade, thank you for your help. Kakashi told me everything." Okamoto Dousuke put the fruit basket in his hand on the table and said a little stiffly.

Tsunade turned around and looked at Okamoto Dousuke who was standing.

It was the same clothes he wore for yesterday's competition. Although a little dirty, it was still very neat. It seemed that this kid was a very clean person.

"Do you know that secretly learning B-level and higher-level ninjutsu without the permission of the ninja village is strictly speaking an act of treason. If you can tell me who taught you your Palm Senjutsu, I will plead for you in front of the Third Hokage," Tsunade said sternly.

"Well, actually no one taught me." Okamoto Dousuke became a little nervous under Tsunade's gaze. In his previous life, having lived for more than 20 years, the biggest leader he had ever seen was a company manager, and that was in an orderly and law-abiding society.

And now, in front of this woman who can be considered the top in the ninja world where human life is worthless, the nervousness is unavoidable for me who has only been in the ninja world for a year.

Looking at Tsunade, whose expression was becoming more and more serious, Okamoto Dousuke quickly said, "Actually, it was you, Tsunade-sama, who taught me. I wonder if you still remember that a year ago, there was a student in the ninja school who was kicked by a classmate and had several ribs broken. When you were treating me at that time, you explained the Palm Immortal Technique in detail."

"Are you saying that you learned it just by listening once?" Tsunade looked at the boy in front of her suspiciously.

During the time when Okamoto Dousuke was in a coma, Tsunade had already investigated his background. He had a clean background. When he was three years old, both his parents died during World War II, and he had no relatives.

With the help of his neighbors, he was able to go to school at the age of four. He usually has few interactions with others. His best friend is the child of the Matt family who wears green tights and exercises in the village every day.

"I understand. You should go back and rest first." Tsunade glanced at the child and had an idea in her mind.
