After Killer Bee proudly reported his success, he immediately carried Karai on his back and ran toward Tsunade and Uchiha Hikaru.
Seeing this, A gave up on the idea of beating his idiotic brother.
Not because he was rushing to get Karai treated, but because... it was just too damn spicy! Snot and tears streamed uncontrollably down the Raikage's face.
He forced himself to swallow the ration pill still burning in his mouth, and the first thing he cried out was, "WATER!"
After downing seven or eight bottles, the Raikage finally felt his tongue returning to life. The unbearable burn slowly faded.
Meanwhile, on Uchiha Hikaru's side—
After defeating the Raikage, Hikaru immediately returned to Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Naruto ran straight to Hikaru's side, grabbing his right hand with both of his little hands and cheering loudly.
"Big brother Hikaru, you're amazing!"
As he spoke, he mimicked the motion of Hikaru's finishing strike.
"That move was insane! That old guy flew like a ragdoll from just one punch!"
"So what's that jutsu called? I want to learn it when I grow up!"
Hikaru paused for a moment, then casually named it.
"That move's called... Serious Punch."
Naruto's eyes sparkled as he repeated it aloud.
"Wow... Serious Punch! What a powerful Taijutsu!"
He was still in awe.
Jiraiya, standing nearby, rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
"Serious Punch?" What a lazy name. It was even worse than the names Minato used to come up with for his jutsu...
Naruto began waving his little fist repeatedly, eager to start training right away.
Hikaru turned and walked toward Tsunade.
Tsunade stretched out her right arm and pulled Hikaru into a hug, wrapping her left arm around his head, rubbing his hair with a radiant grin.
"You little pervert, not bad! You really are a genius of the Uchiha clan. Beating the Raikage like that... you've done Konoha proud!"
At that moment, Hikaru wasn't hearing a single word she said.
His right cheek was buried in the most dangerous battlefield: Mount Tsunade.
Even through her thin clothes, he could clearly feel the softness and elasticity. And if he tilted his head slightly, he could catch a glimpse of the deep valley between the peaks — a view blessed by the gods, glowing in holy white light.
Shizune stood nearby, flustered, unsure what to do, silently weeping in her heart.
Lady Tsunade... what happened to your image? I'm so disappointed...
Jiraiya, meanwhile, had already turned his back when Hikaru walked over. He silently listened not to the clang of a legendary blade — but to the sound of his heart breaking.
Then he pulled Naruto aside and began seriously teaching him how to punch, how to angle his wrist, and how to channel chakra into each strike.
Hikaru, meanwhile, enjoyed the facial massage while quietly appreciating the rare mountainous view.
Just then, Killer Bee supported Karai as he approached Tsunade and Hikaru.
With an unusually serious expression, he lowered his head.
"Lady Tsunade, I'll leave Karai in your care. As promised, I'll train the kid."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes.
"How did you know?"
She was clearly on alert. How did he know Naruto was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki?
Killer Bee scratched his head, then broke into his usual bizarre rhythm.
"Our chakra's linked, it's Jinchuriki vibe! Oh yeah~!"
He struck a pose and finished with his trademark "YEAH!" gesture.
Tsunade blinked, unsure whether the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in front of her had some kind of mental condition.
At that moment, Hikaru had been crushed in Tsunade's arms for over a minute. His brain was sounding alarm bells — oxygen deprivation imminent.
"Tsunade... I can't breathe..."
Only then did Tsunade snap out of it. She let go, jumping to Shizune's side with an embarrassed laugh.
"Ahahaha... I was just so happy I forgot myself."
Trying to change the subject, she turned to Shizune and gave a sharp order.
"Shizune, take over the patient. We need to find a cave and start the operation immediately!"
Shizune brightened up — finally, Lady Tsunade was back to her normal self.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!"
…
Soon after, both Hikaru's group and the Raikage's group found a suitable cave.
The Kumo team wanted to follow them in, but Shizune raised her hand and blocked the entrance.
"Stop right there."
The Raikage's expression darkened.
"What, you won't let the people getting treated go in?"
Shizune's expression was stern but calm, not at all like someone trying to cause trouble.
"We need a quiet, controlled environment. Any movement from you could break our concentration and ruin the surgery."
The Raikage turned to C to confirm whether she was just making excuses.
C nodded solemnly — she was right.
"Then let C in. He's a medical ninja."
Shizune shook her head again, firmly rejecting him.
"No. I'm Lady Tsunade's disciple. This isn't just ordinary medical ninjutsu. The surgical procedures, techniques, and treatment methods we use are all confidential Konoha intel. We can't let outsiders observe."
The Raikage glared at C again, suspicious.
After all, as the Raikage, he didn't handle medical affairs and had always left it to his subordinates.
C was sweating bullets, but still nodded, confirming everything Shizune said was true.
Ninjutsu was closely guarded in every village. If you wanted another village's secrets, you had two options: buy them on the black market… or loot them from corpses.
That's why the corpse of a powerful shinobi could fetch tens of millions of ryo. Even without scrolls, analyzing their body could reveal training patterns and help reconstruct techniques.
With that, Tsunade led Shizune and supported Karai into the cave, leaving Hikaru and the Raikage's group to set up camp nearby.
Only after watching Karai disappear into the cave did the Raikage breathe a sigh of relief.
Then… he walked over to Killer Bee with a kind smile, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him away.
Worried Bee's yelling might disrupt the surgery, he even clamped a hand over his mouth.
…
An hour later.
Hikaru and Jiraiya had set up a tent, lit a campfire, and started grilling meat.
Meanwhile, the Kumogakure shinobi sat nearby with nothing but compressed biscuits and water bottles.
They stared hungrily at Hikaru, Jiraiya, and Naruto roasting skewers over the fire, the rich aroma floating through the air like torture.
With tears streaming down their cheeks, they munched dry rations in silent misery.
At the same time, the Raikage dragged a bruised, twitching Killer Bee — foaming at the mouth — back to the cave entrance.
