Chapter 20 Absurd Illusion

"No, absolutely not!"

"However, if she moves during the operation and affects the operation, it may cause irreparable consequences!"

"That, that's not okay either!"

"In that case, we have no choice."

On the corridor, a middle-aged woman and several nurses were arguing fiercely.

"Can you tell me what happened here?"

A cold voice came from the side, and the young nurses turned around to look, and let out a cheerful exclamation.

"Tsunade-sama!"

Hearing these nurses call the legendary Medical-nin, the middle-aged woman was shocked at first, but she then quickly rushed forward desperately.

"Tsunade-sama, please save my daughter!"

"Calm down." Tsunade asked a few nurses while soothing the other middle-aged woman, "What the hell is going on?"

"Actually, this woman's daughter needs to be operated, however, she is still too young. If she doesn't get anesthesia, it may affect the operation." The nurse said while looking at the little girl in the ward with helplessness and pity.

Tsunade followed her gaze to the ward on the side, and saw a two or three-years-old little girl sitting on a chair with tears in her eyes. Beside her, an older boy was looking after and comforting her.

Tsunade didn't think much about it, and said solemnly, "If we can't find a way to control her body, it would be really dangerous to perform the operation rashly!"

The nurse nodded and said, "We are also worried about this, that's why we wanted to give her anesthesia."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was furious, "Anesthesia? What you are doing is basically a murder!"

The nurse looked sullen and said, "Actually, we also have a small..."

Seeing the murderous gaze from the middle-aged woman, the nurse did not continue.

"I can use chakra scalpel to temporarily cut off her pain nerves. However, she is still too young, so it's possible that it will affect her future life." Tsunade muttered seriously, and suddenly remembered Nonō's previous suggestion, "Have you tried Genjutsu?"

"I have tried it, but the little girl woke up soon after." The nurse said helplessly, "Also, those Shinobi in the village who are proficient in Genjutsu are also out on missions right now."

Tsunade shook her head slightly. She knows that most of the Shinobi who are proficient in Genjutsu mentioned by this nurse did not include that clan.

After all, that clan's arrogance is notorious, and coupled with their position as the Military Police Force, the majority of people in the village stay away from them.

"Uchiha Clan..." Tsunade hesitated. She didn't actually have much intersection with this clan, however, her status as the "princess" of the Senju Clan might arouse that clan's hostility.

At this moment, a small figure standing at the door broke everyone's contemplation.

"Actually, Anko is now ready for surgery."

"Sōseki, what do you mean?" Hearing this, Nonō's eyes lit up. She knew better than others about the training and attempts that Sōseki had made in the past two months.

"He is Shimizu Sōseki?" Tsunade realized that the little boy in the ward was not the little girl's brother.

Sōseki nodded his head and said, "I have already applied a Genjutsu to Anko, and it should be possible to perform the operation on her now."

Without waiting for everyone around to question him, Nonō stepped into the ward first, and looked at the sweet and soundly sleeping little girl, and carefully put her right hand on her body.

Soon, Nonō walked out with a smile on her face, "Tsunade-sama, please take a look."

Seeing this situation, unbelievable thoughts flashed in the minds of the several young nurses, "Is it really successful? That is something that even Chunin can't do!" (A/N: This is not to say that Chunin's Genjutsu can't even deal with a little girl. As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the little girl woke up too quickly. Because the general Genjutsu only needs to confuse the enemy for a few seconds to end the battle, most Genjutsu will not deliberately pursue the duration of Genjutsu, and Genjutsu's immersion is also a problem. Finally, the Chunin mentioned here is not necessarily someone specialized in Genjutsu. Just like a mathematics professor couldn't solve language problem, that Chunin may not be as good as Genjutsu-user Genin.)

The middle-aged woman looked at Tsunade with anticipation, "Tsunade-sama..."

Tsunade walked into the ward and saw the little girl sleeping soundly. Seeing this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, "It is indeed successful, but I have to try it again."

After saying that, Tsunade moved her right hand abruptly.

Boom!

The sound of the air being squeezed caused everyone to shrink their shoulders instinctively. However, the little girl on the chair just licked her lips, and her breathing was not disturbed.

'This level of immersion...Did he build a complete and true world?' Tsunade sighed in her heart. Looking at Sōseki, she said with a complicated tone, "Perhaps, being a Genjutsu-user Shinobi will be more suitable for you."

"Whether it is Medical Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, as long as it is a technique that can help everyone, I will try my best to learn it!" Sōseki clenched his fist like Tsunade and said firmly.

After saying that, he changed the subject again, "However, this illusion does not actually need much realism?"

"Why do you say that?" Tsunade asked with interest.

"Because we are children. Why would children care even if the world is unreal?" Sōseki said as if it was a matter of course.

Tsunade was slightly surprised upon hearing this, 'That's kind of true. For children, the absurd world may be more in line with their fantasy.'

Sōseki then continued, "Also, I just chatted with Anko for a long time, and I know what she is longing for in her heart."

"Is it a family member or a friend?" Tsunade asked softly.

Sōseki shook his head and said, "No, in fact, Anko 's dream is very simple. She just wants to eat red bean paste again."

"Because sweets can make people happy, that's why I gave her that name." Anko's mother said a little embarrassedly while supporting her somewhat fat waist, "It's just that the price of goods after the war is too high..." (T/N: Anko means Red bean paste)

"Therefore, I deliberately designed an illusion for her where the whole world is red bean paste." Sōseki opened his arms, as if portraying the red bean paste's world seriously.

"That kind of illusion is so simple." Tsunade couldn't help but laugh, and then sighed, "But it's such a simple illusion that no one can even think of it."

"Little guy, you are really good!"

Sōseki said with some "sorry", "I just listen and understand more than the others."

Tsunade muttered, as if asking, "Listen, understand?"

Sōseki nodded vigorously, "Un! I believed that doctors not only need to treat physical pain, mental pain and confusion, but also need to guide and comfort the patient! Only by listening to and understanding their true feelings can we find the most suitable treatment for the patient."

"Learn to listen and understand the patient's true feelings?" Tsunade was touched and looked towards Sōseki with serious gaze for the first time, "He is better than other Medical-nin, not only in talent and hard work, but also in his attitude and responsibility as a Medical-nin!"
