Purgatory Anjuro, even when he faints and wakes up, his behavior is different from ordinary people.

Under the dim desk lamp, he opened his eyes without warning. Shizune, who was standing by, immediately noticed the clue and helped him up in surprise.

However, it was the "patient" Purgatory Anjuro who spoke first.

"Miss Shizune, it's great that you're okay!"

He smiled happily and moved his arms. The toxins had indeed left his body, and everything was going according to the best expectations.

"Was the operation successful?"

"You told me what I said."

Although Shizune was smiling, she inadvertently rubbed the corner of her eye with the inside of her wrist.

"The operation was successful. Lady Tsunade performed the surgery herself. Yasujiro woke up and ate, and is now asleep."

"It seems that I broke the appointment. I'm really ashamed!"

Anjuro smiled heartily.

"But thanks to the doctor for coming back in time, I will make up for it tomorrow."

Naturally, he said it was an agreement to have dinner with Yasujiro after the surgery.

"Let's not talk about this yet."

Shizune drooped her eyebrows and said in an accusing tone.

"Tsunade-sama said you used special means to force your heart to stop, but you should have told me beforehand."

At that time, she had no chakra for further examination, so she really thought Anjurou was dead.

Although she had only been with this child for a few days, when she saw Anjuro stopped breathing, the despair in her heart was no less than when she heard that her father and uncle died on the battlefield.

That was a premonition. The world with this child and the world without him are basically two different futures...

"I was negligent! I'm really sorry, I didn't take your feelings into consideration!"

Xingshou Lang looked slightly solemn, sat upright, and bowed sincerely.

“But time was tight at the time and I couldn’t really speak out, so I had no choice but to do this!”

To force the heart to stop, Yinzhu Uzuki Tengen could do it with the power of his muscles, while Anjuro used the breath of fire to do it. Although it was a bit risky to use it the first time, it still bought him time in the end.

As everyone knows, not long ago, Giyuu also used a similar method to fake his own death before killing Sansho Koga who had let down his guard.

"I don't blame you for anything..."

Shizune was a little overwhelmed by his seriousness and waved her hand quickly, "It's just that you are too reckless to do this. If it weren't for Tsunade-sama, the consequences would be disastrous."

Then, Shizune explained what happened unexpectedly during the operation.

"She has confirmed that Yasujiro should be the same as Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world, and the poison sac of the black pepperfish was actually implanted. It seems that there is no difference, but the toxin of the black pepperfish is the same in terms of type and intensity.

There's a world of difference between regular sansho fish. Those are two completely different things.

"Although the black san pepper fish is a subspecies of the san pepper fish, the difference between the two cannot be seen until at least the growth stage. The poison sac in Yasujiro's body is very small. It should come from a young black san pepper fish, but it may have been absorbed by the rain ninja."

I made a mistake, thinking that the venom sac of the common san pepper fish was implanted in it. Later, their experiments were also conducted with the toxin of the common san pepper fish, so there was an incompatibility..."

Anjuro understood. No wonder Yiyong didn't see the clues. After all, it was his first time to see it. How could he distinguish these things that Yu Ren himself would get wrong.

"Anyway, luck played a big part this time, Xingjuro."

Speaking of this, Shizune's tone became a little deeper, and the fear in it was clearly audible.

"If Tsunade-sama hadn't fought against Sansho Hanzo himself before and knew how to deal with this poison, which ranks among the top in the ninja world, you would really have no chance of escaping this time."

However, Anjuro obviously had other ideas.

"You are worrying too much! The reason why I decided to do this was not because of impulsiveness, but because I trusted your judgment on your ability as a doctor! In addition, it is also thanks to you that you were able to operate on this toxin in a very short period of time.

way to make assumptions!”

Anjuro stared at Shizune intently and said encouragingly: "I am able to survive, not only thanks to the doctor, but also to you! As I said before, you are also a very good doctor! I can survive until now.

, has proven this fact, you should be proud of your excellent medical skills!"

"..."

Shizune was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Even she couldn't be 100% sure of her speculation about the toxicity at that time.

But this kid actually put his life on the line just because of his words.

It can be seen that Anjuro's praise of her was not out of gratitude or flattery, but sincere recognition of her abilities.

Thinking of this, Shizune lowered her head and could no longer speak.

"Tsunade-sama is outside and I should have something to tell you."

Shizune stood up, her voice choked with sobs, and her entire face was obscured by her falling hair.

"I'll go and help her lay out the mattress first."

"OK!"

Xingshourou watched her go back to the inner room and close the door, then walked out of the room and looked towards the courtyard.

Tsunade was sitting under the bright moon with a pig in her arms, and some reflective objects were placed on the stone table dyed silvery white beside her.

"Lord Anjuro!"

The crow was about to fly down from the eaves with a cry, "I knew you would be absolutely fine!"

"I'm making you worry! I want it!"

After comforting Kaname, Anjuro let him stand on his shoulders and walked towards Tsunade.

When he got closer and saw that the reflective vessel was a teacup instead of a wine glass, his smile suddenly bloomed.

"Good evening, Doctor. It's so exciting to see you so energetic!"

Tsunade knew that he was talking about not drinking, and she was speechless in her heart. She secretly cursed "nosy brat", but she was very grateful for this kind of meticulous care, but she just didn't want to show it.

"When I see you, I'm not happy at all."

Tsunade turned her head, and the obvious boredom before turned into a shy and deliberate indifference.

"But you're lucky, Xingjuro. If I hadn't come back for something, you would really have to have a funeral today."

A few nights ago, she had said -

When all those little ghosts wake up, it might be the time for Anjuro's funeral.

She couldn't even remember what she was thinking when she said this, but she didn't expect that it almost became a prophecy.

"I thought I wanted to invite you back."

Xingshou Lang was a little surprised, and Xing Ya lowered his head in shame.

"Your crow simply went in the opposite direction. By the time it found me, you were already brain-dead. Someone else reminded me."

Tsunade remembered that this morning in the inn restaurant, she saw her brother Nasuki's face on the wine bottle, and her eyes immediately became moist.

She still doesn't know if it was a hallucination, but the "sister" sounds so real.

If there hadn't been this "hallucination" and she hadn't woken up and opened the bottle cap, the direction of things today might have been completely different.

Not only will Anjurou die young, but Shizune will also fall into a similar trauma to her.

Isn't this really what her brother is reminding her?

When she thought of this possibility, she felt relieved for no reason.

"sit down."

Today was the day that her fate changed, Tsunade overcame herself.

The nightmare that haunted her in the past is no longer a nightmare, but has become a kind of warmth that is both far and near. This change has already begun when she met Anjurou, but it is not over yet.

Tsunade has recovered some of her past self, and she cannot do without thanks to Anjuro.

But Anjuro sat down, and when Tsunade spoke, she didn't mean to thank you at all. Instead, she raised her eyebrows like she did when they first met and said, "Let's settle the accounts first. The aftermath of the brat's surgery, plus the detoxification for you."

, the cost of detoxification is a total of fifteen million taels."

At this time, the moonlight was like snow. Except for the sound of water flowing in the courtyard landscape, everything was silent.

A few seconds later.

"Can you please say it again?!"

Purgatory Anjuro couldn't believe his ears.

"That's the price for asking me to save people. I'm not an unknown medical ninja like Shizune."

A triumphant smirk appeared on Tsunade's face.

This was the first time she saw this owl-like kid blinking his eyes.

"If you have no money, you can write an IOU. The interest rate is 10% a year. How about that?"
