Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 14
One month before the graduation assessment, Tsunade no longer went to the ninja school, and instead brought three selected students with medical ninja talents to Konoha Hospital to start an internship.

As an assistant, Gaia would naturally accompany her, and Tsunade arranged for him to help her with some chores in the hospital.

But later, there were too many injuries, and as a last resort, Gaia had to use "secret techniques" to treat some ordinary civilians.

Now Tsunade is still not at ease to let Gaia heal those ninjas.

First, it is a kind of prevention, and second, it is actually a kind of protection for Gaia.

If one day the village discovers the hidden dangers of Gaia's secret technique, and Gaia uses sutures to treat some injured ninjas, it will inevitably lead to some unpredictable situations.

Tsunade needed to prevent this from happening.

Not just for Rope Tree, but also for Gaia.

……

At night, Gaia's sparring partner changed from Tsunade to Roe Tree.

This was proposed by Shengshu himself.

The skills Gaia has mastered are relatively superior, but Naoshu has a little advantage in age, and his strength is a little better than Gaia.

A simple competition of physical skills would bring back and forth.

No matter how many times Rope Tree was knocked down, he stood up silently and continued to fight Gaia.

The same goes for Gaia, who just puts her whole body and soul into the sparring.

Tsunade looked at the two people in the venue with mixed emotions in his heart.

Shengshu became more and more silent, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He practices with Matdai every day and doesn't go home until evening.

She entrusted the ninja of Anbu to investigate, and Naoki followed Matt Dai to do some physical training every day.

Taijutsu is naturally extremely important to a ninja, but the talent of a ninja should ultimately be reflected in ninjutsu.

But today's Rope Tree has lost the ability to use Chakra.

She couldn't blame Gaia. Even she couldn't do better than Gaia.

We can only hope that in the future, her medical skills will further improve and she will be able to repair the chakra meridians in the rope tree.

Or... let Gaia do it.Tsunade looked at the two wrestling together and sighed softly.

She has already entrusted one of Konoha's ninjas to "protect" Nawaki, preventing him from leaving Konoha's range without authorization.

……

Before the exam, Tsunade gave Gaia three days off.

Tsunade didn't remind him anything, but Gaia knew that this little time was just for her preparation.

The location of the assessment was in the Forest of Death, but the students were not prevented from entering.

Obviously, it is to give everyone the opportunity to collect relevant information.

According to Tsunade, the assessment date lasts for seven days.

Among the supplies that can be carried, there are only three days of rations.

Even without Gaia, this would still be an extremely difficult survival test.

Therefore, water and food must be found.

Gaia didn't have time to slowly search for these places after the assessment began. During the assessment, he had to use all his time and resources to complete the task of eliminating the students.

The death forest, also known as the 44th exercise field, has a diameter of more than 20 kilometers.

In the center of the site, there is a tall tower that overlooks the entire forest.

Gaia went up the river at the entrance, recording everything along the way.

To survive in the wild, the first thing you need to ensure is water.

As for Gaia, he is now looking for any opportunity that can cause the opponent to reduce their numbers.

Poisoning with water is naturally possible, and it is the preferred method...

The kind of medicine that can affect the opponent's combat effectiveness but is not fatal, even the big shots in the village will not care about these things.

Besides, this is a so-called "actual combat" assessment.

Such a thing as poisoning is not too much.

It took almost a day for Gaia to have a general understanding of the situation in the Death Forest, and all the places that are convenient for camping and finding food have been memorized.

Then, continue up the river, even beyond the scope of the dead forest.

It was more than 20 miles upwards before Gaia stopped.

The death forest is just a predetermined battlefield, but there is no way to limit Gaia, it can only be limited to here.

If you want to poison, it is the most silent outside the venue.

Gaia began to look for a suitable place to put the poison.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted in. Gaia looked at the firelight coming from the growing darkness and took two more steps forward.

Even with Gaia's intermediate level of cooking skills, she actually found this scent to be very special.

On the sand and gravel of the river beach, three figures gathered around a pot of hot soup cooked on flint, seeming to be chatting about something.

One of them was the Rope Tree whom Gaia knew.

The one next to him was wearing a green tights, and Gaia also recognized him.

The other one was wearing coarse linen clothes and was making soup with a spoon in his hand.

"Gaia?" Shengshu looked around and saw Gaia coming out of the shadows, and was very confused.

"What are you doing here?"*2
The two asked questions at the same time.

"I am practicing with two seniors." Shengshu replied.

Gaia looked at the two people next to her, and thought to herself why you haven't woken up yet.

If you want to practice, you can just find your sister, why do you follow these two...

Of course, it’s still the same sentence, don’t say anything that is not conducive to unity.

"I'm here to find the place where the poison was poisoned." Gaia was also very straightforward, making no secret of her purpose.

"Ah?" The three of them stared at Gaia without reacting.

"Isn't there going to be an assessment in three days? I'm looking for a way to reduce their numbers... Of course, I haven't gotten the poison yet."

The graduation assessment this time is not a small matter, and the whole village knows it.

It's just... You don't even have poison in your hand, so you just want to poison others, is it appropriate?

"This place is beyond the scope of the Death Forest!" Rope Tree wanted to remind the other party.

"Huh? Is there a rule that you can't release poison outside the venue?" Gaia's words stopped all three of them from asking.

It was notified to the outside world that the scope of activities of the personnel participating in the assessment was in the Death Forest, but it did not say that they could not release poison outside the venue.

Gaia sat next to the rope tree, looked at the fish next to the fire, took out her secret barbecue ingredients from her pocket, and then looked at the middle-aged ninja opposite, as if asking for his consent.

"Maruyoshi Kosuke, Gaia-kun, please feel free." The other party introduced himself, and the green-skinned big-headed man on the side stretched out his thumb and said, "My name is Maite Dai, thank you for saving the rope tree!"

Konoha hid some details, only saying that Gaia saved the rope tree, and in order to repay this kindness, Tsunade accepted him as a disciple.

Gaia was also an old man in the workplace in her last life, so how could she know how to chat with people? She could get along with them in just a few words.

By the way, he also exchanged his secret barbecue ingredient recipe with Maruboshi Kosuke for his secret bone broth recipe.

After chatting after eating and drinking, Gaia also knew the situation of Maruho Kosuke.

The old man endured it, the same as Matt Dai.

Oh no, older than Matt Day.

Looking at the rope tree, Gaia thought to herself: "I wonder if you didn't hurt your head at that time. What can you learn from two genin?"

Of course, his expression remained unchanged, and he just asked the two for advice on the grounds of the assessment in a few days.

Once you defeat these two people, you will know to turn back.

Since he is his teacher's younger brother, he should help him out.

"Senior Matt Dai, please don't hold back."

"Okay." Seeing Gaia say this, Maitedai ​​nodded seriously with a serious face.

Waiting for me to easily defeat the opponent...

"Gaia-kun, please be careful!"

"Life Gate, open!"

What the hell!

Gaia even broke out a Chinese foul language.

I saw Maite Dai's momentum suddenly changed, his body exuded cyan energy fluctuations, his whole body was congested and turned red, and he rushed towards Gaia like a beast.

One second he was a useless genin, and the next second he was a predatory green beast.

Are you him? The style of painting has changed!
