Several patients shuddered at Hatake Kaede's icy gaze and could only plead in hushed tones, "It was these Uchiha bastards who injured us!Please, Lady Tsunade, do us justice!"
Upon hearing their false accusations, Uchiha Fugaku, the young clan leader, was unable to remain composed.His clenched fists revealed that Fugaku was far from calm.
The Uchiha clan members are eccentric, but they disdain targeting the village's commoners without cause.They have their own pride, and while they may not be exceptionally kind to ordinary villagers, they are not particularly bad either.
"Damn it, what did you say?" Faced with the patients' slander and accusations, Uchiha Fugaku was able to control his temper and not argue.But the other clan members around him were not so good-natured.
One of the Uchiha clansmen said, "You bunch of bastards, you got drunk in the tavern and tried to eat for free.Not only did you not pay, you also injured the tavern owner who was trying to collect his debts, and even dragged other innocent villagers into the mess."
"When our police officers came to stop you, not only did you refuse to cooperate, but you also insulted the head of our Uchiha clan!"
Tsunade looked at the injured people in front of her as if they were trash.She herself wasn't a good drinker, but she wouldn't cause trouble while drunk.
"Hehehe, not bad.Insulting the patriarch of a clan.After a few drinks, he's forgotten all about himself."
Tsunade possesses exceptional talent and harbors no ill intentions towards the Uchiha clan.She handles matters impartially and without bias, never deliberately targeting one side or favoring the other.
Seeing Tsunade's expression change, the injured quickly started playing the victim.
"Oh no, no, my hand.my hand is broken.It must be the Uchiha clan.Ah!"
Before the wounded could finish screaming, Hatake Kaede abruptly interrupted them.
"Lady Tsunade, now that patients have arrived at the hospital, how can I, as a medical ninja, stand idly by?I've decided to stay and work overtime to properly treat them." As he spoke, Hatake Kaede looked at the injured patients with a half-smile.
Seeing the expression on Hatake Kaede's face, these people were about to beg for mercy when Hatake Kaede used Senbon needles to seal their pressure points in the next instant.
These people were unable to move or make a sound.
Using senbon to seal acupoints on the human body is a method developed by Hatake Kaede, based on the a pressure-point technique he developed based on his medical knowledge.
However, in this life, Hatake Kaede did not use it as a way to "save lives," but rather as a good way to "kill."
Inserting a thousand needles into different acupoints will produce different consequences.Numbness, amplified pain, loss of voice, etc., it is practically a good method of torture and murder.
Of course, if Senbon could be replaced with Lightning Style: Senbon, the effect would be even more pronounced.
"I would like to trouble my fellow Uchiha brothers to carry them to the treatment room inside.I will treat them properly."
The injured were unable to move or make any sound, and could only look at Tsunade with terrified eyes, hoping that Tsunade would come out and stop Hatake Kaede.
Tsunade, her face cold, showed no sign of protecting the injured villagers.She said to Hatake Kaede, "Don't forget to charge them for their medical treatment."
Then he said to Uchiha Fugaku, "Although your actions were understandable, you still went too far.After they finish their treatment, take them back to the police force and deal with them as appropriate.Don't forget to report this to the Hokage's office."
Tsunade swiftly and decisively resolved these matters, effectively protecting the villagers in the process.
Although these villagers had the tacit approval of certain individuals, the Uchiha clan was, after all, a renowned ninja family in Konoha.They could secretly deal with these "bugs" without anyone knowing.
Even if both sides in a game know that the other is using ruthless tactics, who can say for sure without evidence?
Powerful departments like the police force, because they frequently deal with ordinary Konoha civilians, can easily incite resentment among them.
Under the design of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha clan was closely linked to the police force.Coupled with the Uchiha clan's arrogant and disdainful nature, they easily incurred the hostility of the entire village.
I must say, what a cunning and treacherous Tobirama Senju!
Kaede's treatment was quick, and the door to the treatment room was opened shortly afterward.
Several patients lay pale-faced on stretchers, their bodies twitching occasionally, their eyes filled with terror.
"Uchiha clan ninjas, we confess!We were wrong!Please take us back to the police force!We beg you!"
Seeing the dramatic change in the villagers' attitudes, the Uchiha looked at Hatake Kaede curiously, wanting to know how he had "cured" these people.
Tsunade also looked at Hatake Kaede with some curiosity.
Hatake Kaede coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "I'm just a rookie who has just passed the medical ninja exam.My medical skills aren't very proficient, which is reasonable, right?"
"Since your medical skills aren't very proficient, isn't it reasonable to try setting fractures several times?"
"Because their medical skills aren't very proficient, they often find the wrong fracture site and disassemble other parts instead.Isn't that reasonable?"
"Isn't it reasonable that they forgot to use anesthesia because their medical skills weren't very proficient?"
Four "reasonable" questions caused Tsunade to break out in a cold sweat, the Uchiha members looked shocked, and the patients looked terrified.
Tsunade thought to herself: [Reasonable?Reasonable my foot!Weren't you the person those doctors were praising at the hospital this morning?Am I hallucinating?]
Uchiha Fugaku thought to himself: [How ruthless!Isn't this just taking a person's bones off and then putting them back in?]Even ninjas couldn't withstand such torture, let alone these villagers.
The wounded were thinking.
They didn't want that; they just wanted the Uchiha people to take them to the police force so they could get away from the white-haired brat who had treated them.
Looking at the villagers pleading before them, the Uchiha clan member sighed."Evil people need other evil people to teach them a lesson!"
......
After dealing with the unexpected incident, Tsunade and Hatake Kaede left the hospital together.
As she walked out of the hospital and watched the departing police officers, Tsunade complained, "The discontent with the Uchiha clan in the village is growing louder and louder.I don't know what the old man and those other old folks are thinking; they don't come out to deal with it and just let these voices spread.If they let this go unchecked, something terrible will happen sooner or later!"
Hatake Kaede chimed in from the side, "What's the point of complaining?You're not the Hokage, why are you worrying so much?What, you think this medical department reform is easy?Want to take on another job for yourself?When you become the Hokage, then you can handle this!"
"Furthermore, isn't this awkward situation that the higher-ups wanted to see?"
Tsunade was taken aback by Hatake Kaede's retort, and turned around angrily, yelling at him, "You brat, you're lecturing me now?Hurry up, I want to come to your house for dinner!"
