Chapter 142 Exposure.

With just a glance, Tōshirō made an accurate judgment.

The TV anime didn't deceive him; this was indeed a windfall!

Secretly wiping the drool from his heart, he judged with his excellent 'eyesight.'

[No doubt, it's 106 centimeters!]

[Truly, it is a heavenly gift!]

As expected of Tsunade of 'Chesty Konoha,' her initial appearance left Tōshirō awestruck, making him momentarily...

Tsunade curled her lips as she looked at the daydreaming Uchiha kid opposite her. She never expected this guy to be the same type as Jiraiya.

The kid might look composed on the surface, but how could he hide it from her? She had seen too many who appeared serious on the outside but were filled with wild thoughts inside.

But he was just a 'little pervert,' so she didn't take it to heart. After all, if she dared to go braless, she wasn't afraid of being peeked at.

She just didn't expect that an Uchiha, usually so aloof, would have such a little pervert among them—truly eye-opening.

"Hey! Kid, I'm asking you a question!"

"So young and already learning bad things. You're really a little devil!"

"Ah! Sorry! Sorry!"

"Just thinking about something else just now!"

Seeing this, Tōshirō had to push aside his fantasies and quickly began talking to smooth things over. His inner psychological activities just now were really unfit for public consumption.

"It's mainly because recently, I've been practicing the nature transformation of the lightning release chakra. Having encountered it a lot, I noticed that people twitch unnaturally when electrocuted. So, I had a flash of inspiration and decided to give it a try, treating a dead horse as if it were still alive."

"But fortunately, it worked!"

Even though he was making things up, Tōshirō had to find some plausible excuses. Otherwise, an expert like her wouldn't be easily fooled.

"Oh... Inspired by practicing lightning release, huh?"

"Can you explain the principle of that technique in detail?"

Hearing Tōshirō's explanation, Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she replayed the situation in her mind.

It seemed... plausible.

The body does twitch unnaturally when electrocuted, and if the heart stops, if there's an electric current causing a chain reaction within a certain timeframe, the heart might start beating again.

"This technique is very simple. Change the nature of your chakra to lightning in your hands, gather it, and generate an electric current to stimulate the patient's heart, reviving it to start beating again."

"But the exact voltage used, I can't accurately grasp yet. With Tsunade-senpai's medical ninjutsu, as long as there's a direction, you can definitely make it even more perfect."

Without any concealment, Tōshirō told Tsunade everything he knew about the situation, reminding her, "I think if this method can be widely promoted, you could consider using batteries to replace the lightning chakra!"

"Using artificial electricity to replace chakra, huh? That's feasible!"

As she spoke, she flicked Tōshirō on the forehead. With Tōshirō's idea, she didn't even need to understand the hand signs to recreate this ninjutsu.

Moreover, as he said, if the voltage and current changes were tested, she believed she could find a perfect solution.

And the idea of using batteries or generating electricity artificially to replace the lightning release was quite good too.

[Such an interesting little pervert!]

After that, she nodded to Uchiha Mika and left the tent directly. Next, she wanted to experiment with the method Tōshirō mentioned to see if it could be widely promoted.

According to her calculations, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Well, she had one more thing to be busy with, but this was a good thing too, as it could reduce the fatalities among Konoha ninjas. It aligned with her original intention.

This was one of the few things she could do for Konoha. Once the war with the Sand Ninja Village ended, perhaps it would be her time to...

After all, now that every return to Konoha only rekindled sad memories and old wounds for her...

It was clear that Tsunade was considering leaving Konoha, feeling that staying there would prevent her from moving past her inner shadow.

At this moment, Tōshirō, who got flicked on the forehead, sat dumbly on the sickbed, holding his forehead, half-recovered.

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge; it was just that she had done it so intentionally, and he didn't react in time.

He never thought his first meeting with 'Tsunade-hime' would end this way. Moreover, he ended up getting labeled as a 'little pervert' by her.

How...

"Tsk! Who would've thought! Tōshirō has really grown up..."

At this moment, Uchiha Mika's teasing voice sounded. She hadn't expected the 'kid' in her eyes to have such guts.

Daring enough to secretly peek at Tsunade-senpai, this really caught her by surprise.

[Looks like Tōshirō has indeed grown. He's already starting to secretly observe women's bodies. Time really flies!]

All this time, she had known that Tōshirō had a 'grand' dream. Before, she thought those were just childish jokes, but it seemed more likely now.

At the same time, she couldn't help feeling a bit sour, like when her favorite toy got taken away by a playmate...

"Haha! Mika-nee, you sure know how to joke..."

Hearing this, Tōshirō blushed, his cheeks slightly heating up. He never thought his true nature would be suddenly exposed to her, how... embarrassing!

What's that phrase from his past life? ... Oh, right! It's called social death~

"Uh~ Mika-nee, are you here to change Makoto-niisan's medicine? I'll leave you guys alone and get some fresh air!"

Feeling the slightly playful gaze, Tōshirō couldn't stay any longer. He quickly jumped off the sickbed and hurried out of the tent, leaving the space for Mika and Makoto-niisan, looking utterly embarrassed.
