"Young man, don't lie. If you do and the illness can't be cured, I won't let you off the hook."

Mito Uzumaki said in a low voice.

"Lord Mito, I think he's just talking big. Let's kick him out so as not to disturb Nawaki-sama's rest."

"you shut up."

Tsunade shouted at Takeji Nai, her eyes filled with murderous intent, which made Takeji Nai tremble and shut up completely, but his eyes were still fixed on Yi Shuihan.

“The problem with the rope tree is simple, but also quite tricky. I only have five treatment methods here. I’ll tell you about them, and you can choose which one you want.”

Chapter 280, There's no injury that a hot spring soak can't heal.

"Five treatment options?" Looking at Yi Shuihan's seemingly dissatisfied expression, Tsunade felt a buzzing in her head. This was an injury that almost the entire Hidden Leaf Village was helpless against, yet in the other party's eyes it was only slightly troublesome, and there were five treatment options.

Even Mito Uzumaki, who was standing to the side, stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, completely bewildered by his words.

“The first option is to use a special method to stimulate his body’s recovery. This option is effective very quickly, but the downside is that it depletes his body’s potential. He can recover to the level of an ordinary person, but his path as a ninja will almost be cut off,” Yi Shuihan said, holding up one finger.

"Let's talk about other options!" Tsunade immediately rejected the idea. If this was really the only option, she would definitely agree, but since there were other options, she didn't want Nawaki to lose his future. Nawaki was determined to become a Hokage, and she didn't know how heartbroken he would be if he woke up and found out that his future was over.

"The second option is to replace his damaged organs with new ones. This way, he can continue to cultivate, but because they are not his own organs, there will be some rejection."

"Organ replacement?"

Yi Shuihan's words greatly surprised Tsunade and the others, who looked at each other in disbelief.

"Is this really possible?" Tsunade's eyes showed some disbelief. If it were just the hands and feet, she would believe it could be successful, but Yi Shuihan was talking about more than just the hands and feet; he was also talking about the internal organs.

"Absolutely no problem. Since I said I was confident, why are you planning to use the second option?"

"Let's talk about something else!"

"You're really picky, but what can I do? I'm an extremely responsible person! Alright, the third option is to share life force. Find someone willing to share life force with him, preferably someone of the same race, and transfer your life force to him so he can recover. That way, he won't have any aftereffects after he recovers. However, the person who transfers life force will suffer a huge loss. Judging from his condition, he won't be able to recover without 20 or 30 years of life force."

After hearing the third proposal, Tsunade's expression changed constantly. She looked at the unconscious Nawaki on the bed, and memories of her time with Nawaki flashed through her mind. Finally, her gaze settled on Nawaki's smiling face, and she said firmly, "I am willing to give him my life force."

"Tsunade!" Mito Uzumaki's face showed a look of pity upon hearing this.

"Grandma, there's no need to say anything. It's just 20 or 30 years of life. It's all worth it to be able to restore Nawaki." Having made her decision, Tsunade became decisive.

To think that he had been spoiled to this extent, Yi Shuihan suddenly felt a little envious of Rope Tree. You know, the average lifespan of people in the Naruto world is extremely low. Only a few can live past 50. After all, ninjas often have to fight and don't know how to take care of themselves, which is naturally very bad for their health. Over time, this leaves hidden injuries, which will accelerate aging to a certain extent.

"Don't rush to make a decision! Let's hear about the other two options first." This time, it was Yi Shuihan who took the initiative to suggest the remaining options.

"The fourth option is to give him a new body. If the body you find is good enough, it might be a good thing for him."

"Change bodies?"

“That’s right. Humans are made up of a soul and a body, and the most important one is naturally the soul. I can transfer his soul into another person’s body, so that he can continue to live by using that person’s body, and even inherit everything from the new body, such as strength and bloodline limit.”

"How is that possible? This kind of thing is impossible, isn't it?"

Hearing Yi Shuihan's words from the side, Takeji Nai could no longer contain his shock and exclaimed loudly.

"who are you?"

Mito Uzumaki's expression was solemn, her body tense, and her chakra gathered, as if she was about to attack at the slightest provocation. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she knew about the existence of souls, so she had some understanding of beings who could manipulate souls, something that even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do!

Souls return to the Grim Reaper. As a human, how could Yi Shuihan possibly enter that realm? She suspected that Yi Shuihan had ulterior motives.

Tsunade looked at Yi Shuihan with a complicated expression. For the first time, she felt that Yi Shuihan was so mysterious. This was no ordinary samurai.

In fact, Yi Shuihan's so-called soul replacement was not as perfect as he described, because it was not his original body. Even if he could control it, it could not be perfectly identical.

This weakness isn't apparent when one's strength is low, but once one reaches the Kage level and wants to advance further, it becomes apparent. It can be said that if one's soul is transferred, unless the transferred body surpasses the Kage level, one's strength will absolutely not be able to rise above the Kage level.

The reason he didn't say it to her face was because Yi Shuihan didn't think that Rope Tree had the chance to reach the level of a Kage. He hadn't even awakened Wood Release, and his talent was not even comparable to Tsunade's. He was probably limited to becoming a Jonin, and at most he could only glimpse the level of a Kage.

"There is one last method, which I believe is the best one: soaking in a hot spring. As long as he comes to my hot spring and soaks in it, his injuries will slowly heal, and there might even be a slight chance that he will awaken Wood Release. There is no injury that cannot be healed by soaking in a hot spring. If there is, please soak in it a few more times."

The hot spring that Yi Shuihan mentioned was not an ordinary hot spring. Instead, dragon blood was added to the hot spring, and then a formation was set up to gather spiritual energy. With the vitality of the dragon blood and the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the rope tree would automatically recover and stimulate its blood vessels, ultimately achieving the effect of awakening the Wood Release.

Although giving Rope Tree dragon blood directly would achieve the same effect, the consumption of dragon blood would be far greater than soaking in a hot spring, and he felt that Rope Tree was not worth it.

If the previous plans were already unbelievable to Tsunade, then the final hot spring bath completely robbed her of her ability to think.

Soaking in a hot spring can completely restore someone who is on the verge of death, and even give Rope Tree a chance to awaken Wood Release. This sounds like a joke!

Whether he can recover from his injuries is another matter, but awakening Wood Release is Wood Release! As the bloodline limit of a generation of Hokage, the power of Wood Release is well known. It can be said that as long as Wood Release is awakened, it means that there is no limit to the future. Wood Release is the epitome of a super genius. It can be said that as long as Nawaki awakens Wood Release and can continue to grow, he has a very high chance of becoming a generation of Hokage.

Chapter 281, Do you want to take a bath too?

"So? Are you going to choose the fifth option or the last one?" Yi Shuihan raised an eyebrow and winked at Gan Su.

Tsunade snapped out of her shock and burst out laughing when she heard Yi Shuihan's words and saw his nonsensical expression. All the pressure in her heart vanished, and her smile blossomed like a flower. In particular, the foul-breaking 106 kept swaying, making Yi Shuihan's eyes widen in amazement.

"Don't be fooled by him. Soaking in a hot spring can heal injuries? That's utter nonsense. I think he's a spy sent from another village to kill Young Master Nawaki." Seeing things getting worse for him, Takejiuchi tried his best to stop him.

"Grandma, let him try! I'll keep an eye on it. If it doesn't work, it shouldn't get any worse." Tsunade looked at Mito Uzumaki with pleading eyes.

"Sigh!" Mito Uzumaki sighed. "Then I'll leave Nawaki to you."

After saying that, Mito Uzumaki turned and left. Of course, she wouldn't completely trust Yi Shuihan so easily. She was only leaving to find help.

"Alright, you can all leave now!" Tsunade said coldly to Takeji Naiko.

“You…” Takeji pointed at Tsunade, speechless, and finally turned and left. The other elders also left, their heads spinning after what had just happened.

Only Yi Shuihan, Tsunade, and the still unconscious Nawaki remained in the room.

Tsunade walked up to Nawaki, carefully picked him up, and said with undisguised tenderness in her eyes, "Don't worry, Nawaki, you will get better."

"Why do I suddenly have this urge to kill Rope Tree?" Yi Shuihan thought to himself.

"Let's go! These things are better done sooner rather than later." Out of sight, out of mind, Yi Shuihan said and then led the way.

Just as Yi Shuihan and the others were heading to the hot spring resort, Mito Uzumaki had already appeared in the Hokage's office.

"Did he really say that?" The Hokage looked at Mito Uzumaki in surprise. If he hadn't known that the person in front of him was Mito Uzumaki, his teacher's wife, he would have thought it was someone else in disguise. Otherwise, how could she say something so outrageous?

Organ transplantation, sharing life force, transferring souls, healing injuries with hot springs—each claim was more bizarre than the last. Even the Third Generation, who considered himself knowledgeable, had never imagined that such methods could be used to treat injuries.

"What is his origin?"

Mito Uzumaki looked at the Third Hokage with some doubt, because she could tell from the Third Hokage's attitude that he valued Yi Shuihan very much.

"His origins" The third generation's eyes were somewhat dazed. He had actually sent people out to investigate Yi Shuihan's background, but they found nothing. There was no information about where Yi Shuihan was from or anything else. It was as if Yi Shuihan was someone who had just appeared out of thin air.

Shaking his head, the Third Hokage slowly said, "His origins are extremely mysterious, and I don't know either. The only thing I can confirm is that he is very rich. To put it another way, he may be richer than the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Also, his strength is not low; he should at least be at the Kage level, or perhaps even stronger."

"Someone is richer than Konoha!?" Mito Uzumaki couldn't believe it until the Third Hokage took out the two bags of gems that Yi Shuihan had given him.

Compared to his strength, Yi Shuihan's wealth seems to be even more astonishing.

The two then talked for a long time, and no one knows exactly what they talked about, but some people saw that Mito Uzumaki came out with a smile on her face.

"Boss, and Lady Tsunade, what's going on?" Might Guy looked at Yi Shuihan and the others who rushed in, his gaze finally settling on Nawaki in Tsunade's arms, full of confusion.

"As you can see, some people are coming to soak in the hot springs. You can continue with your business and don't need to worry about us."

After offering a brief explanation, Yi Shuihan walked to the bronze door that was not yet open, and with a light touch of a finger, pushed the door open.

"go in!"

Without hesitation, Tsunade carried the rope tree inside, and Yi Shuihan followed her in.

After the bronze door closed, Might Guy looked in the direction it had been and muttered, "I wonder what's inside? The boss said it was a hot spring, and there is a hot spring inside. Could it be that he's bathing with Lady Tsunade? No, I must keep this a secret. I absolutely cannot let anyone know that the boss and Tsunade are bathing together. The boss is indeed the boss, he's amazing."

Yi Shuihan was unaware of Might Guy's wild thoughts. If he had known, he would have definitely said, "Might Guy has been corrupted too!"

"Is it okay to just put him in like this?" Tsunade looked at Yi Shuihan hesitantly. In her eyes, the hot spring in front of her did not have the effect that Yi Shuihan had described. It was only slightly whiter than the hot springs she had bathed in before.

"At this point, do you have any better ideas?" Yi Shuihan shrugged, giving him a "you figure it out" look.

Tsunade bit her lip, slowly placed Nawaki into the hot spring, and then carefully observed Nawaki's condition.

"Why is there still no movement?" Ten seconds later, Tsunade looked at Yi Shuihan with a suspicious expression.

Yi Shuihan sighed helplessly, "Please, this is nothing! He needs to soak for at least a few days to get better. To see obvious results, you need to count it in hours. Just come back in an hour."

Seemingly realizing her slip of the tongue, Tsunade was slightly embarrassed. "Alright then, I'll wait and see."

"Waiting like this isn't going to solve anything. Why don't you go soak in the hot spring next door? I think you must be tired! A soak would be good to relax. My hot spring is very effective, and you can try it yourself to see if it's as magical as I say."

Tsunade, who originally didn't want to go for a soak, was intrigued by the last sentence. She also wanted to know if the hot spring really had the effect that Yi Shuihan had described.

"If you're worried, I can stay here. And to be honest, this won't be enough for Rope Tree. I still need to do some things, and it's not convenient for you to be here!"

"Alright then! I'll go next door. Be sure to call me if anything happens."

Tsunade thought that it was inconvenient for her to see what Yi Shuihan was going to do, so she finally agreed to go to the hot spring next door.

Chapter 282, I'm here for the hot springs too.

"You're really getting off easy." Yi Shuihan poured some of the prepared dragon blood into the hot spring pool, while his hands continuously formed hand seals.

The dragon's blood entered the hot spring pool but did not change the color of the hot spring; it only made the original hot spring appear even more mystical.

As Yi Shuihan's hand seals danced, a pattern of an array appeared at the bottom of the hot spring pool, releasing a soft white light. Then, visible spiritual energy slowly gathered into the hot spring, making the already misty pool almost completely obscure the surrounding scenery, leaving it all white.

"Alright, that's enough for now. It's up to you now." Yi Shuihan stopped what he was doing and glanced at Sheng Shu, whose furrowed brows had turned into a peaceful expression.

Although Yi Shuihan could guarantee that Rope Tree could awaken Wood Release 100%, Rope Tree was clearly not worth it. Therefore, he only gave Rope Tree a possibility. Whether it could actually succeed was up to Rope Tree himself.

Clap his hands, Yi Shuihan's expression suddenly turned strange. He muttered, "Tsunade should already be in the hot spring next door by now. I suddenly feel a bit tired too, I should go soak in the hot spring."

Previously, Yi Shuihan only told Tsunade to go to the hot spring next door, without mentioning that the next door was actually a mixed-gender bathhouse.

"What an amazing hot spring! I feel so full of energy. Is this life force?" Tsunade, with only her head above water, felt the changes in her body, her eyes filled with amazement.

If she had some concerns before about whether the hot springs could help her brother recover, she now has enough confidence.

Originally, Tsunade was at a certain limit, both physically and mentally, and was only holding on for her younger brother. However, after entering the hot spring, she felt an amazing change in just a few breaths. Her body recovered at an incredible speed, and even her mind was soothed.

It must be said that the bronze-level hot springs are indeed quite effective. Although they are not yet fully perfect, in terms of effectiveness, they are at least ten times better than the iron-level ones.

If the Black Iron is mainly aimed at Genin and Chunin, then the Bronze Hot Spring is aimed at Jonin and Quasi-Kage.

With Tsunade's strength, she could feel her chakra slowly increasing. In just a short while, it was equivalent to a day of training. Moreover, the hidden injuries in her body were visibly healing, and she felt relaxed all over. This gave Tsunade an unprecedented experience, and she wanted to stay in the bath forever.

Just as Tsunade was comfortably about to fall asleep, a sudden sound of footsteps woke her up considerably. Then she saw Yi Shuihan, shirtless and wearing only shorts, standing in front of her.

Tsunade's face immediately turned crimson, and she subconsciously sank her body downwards and moved further inside.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here." Tsunade didn't yell or shout, but she seemed a little flustered at this moment.

Yi Shuihan was slightly disappointed, but he quickly cheered up because he found that this tantalizing glimpse made him even more irresistible.

The hot spring could no longer obstruct Yi Shuihan's view; in fact, it made him see things even more clearly.

"Of course I'm here for the hot springs too. What, didn't I tell you? This is a mixed bathing area, and the one on the far right is for women only. I didn't expect you to like mixed bathing too?" Yi Shuihan said in a very surprised tone, and then directly entered the hot spring, letting out a very comfortable sigh.

Of course, since the hot spring is actually quite large, even 20 people wouldn't feel crowded, so the two of them were still quite far apart. At least Tsunade couldn't see Yi Shuihan very clearly, so after the initial tension, Tsunade calmed down a lot.

Yi Shuihan naturally wouldn't admit that his eyesight was extraordinary, so he pretended not to notice and quietly admired Tsunade's graceful body. He couldn't help but feel a little hot inside, but fortunately, he knew how to keep his distance, which prevented Tsunade from getting up and leaving immediately.

The atmosphere became somewhat romantic, and whether it was because of the hot spring or the cold water, Tsunade's blush did not fade.

If it were anyone else, like Jiraiya, Tsunade would definitely have given them a good beating. However, at this moment, Tsunade was perhaps grateful to Yi Shuihan for saving her brother, or perhaps she was convinced by Yi Shuihan's explanation about mixed bathing. In any case, she just stayed there quietly, her eyes fixed on Yi Shuihan's direction, without making any other move.

Time passed slowly. Because Yi Shuihan did not make any further moves, Tsunade fell asleep because the hot spring was so comfortable. Yi Shuihan quietly admired the sleeping beauty, and it was a good thing he didn't turn into a wolf.

Meanwhile, next door, Rope Tree's dilapidated body was undergoing an astonishing transformation due to the dragon blood and spiritual energy. Normally, actively absorbing spiritual energy would likely result in assimilation and unpredictable changes, but Rope Tree was not conscious at the moment and was passively merging into the spiritual energy, with the dragon blood also having some effect.

The life force contained in the dragon's blood nourished the damaged areas of the rope tree, causing its cells to divide and its injuries to gradually improve. Furthermore, due to the abundant energy, more spiritual energy and dragon blood together gradually triggered changes deep within its bloodline, and an extremely vibrant power was being nurtured—that power was Wood Release.

It has to be said that Rope Tree has turned misfortune into blessing this time. Even Yi Shuihan did not expect things to go so smoothly. The Wood Release hidden deep within its body, which was originally impossible to awaken, is about to awaken under the influence of dragon blood and abundant spiritual energy.

Even if he doesn't succeed in awakening this time, his chances of self-awakening in the future are extremely high, and his potential will be greatly enhanced. Of course, this is on the premise that he can survive. This world is still very dangerous; who knows when a bunch of people might appear wanting to kill him.

A successor to Wood Release wouldn't be a good thing for other villages. Even within Konoha, there are people who don't want to see Nawaki awaken Wood Release, such as Danzo, who still wants to become Hokage! If Nawaki awakens Wood Release, he will become a strong contender.

The Uchiha clan would not allow Nawaki to grow up unchecked; the feud between the Uchiha and Senju clans was far from over.

Chapter 283, Welcome to Come and Find Trouble

"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Tsunade, who was barely wrapped in a bath towel, asked, looking at Nawaki who was still unconscious.

By this time, Nawaki had been soaking in the hot spring for two hours. In the hot spring, Nawaki's complexion looked rosy and he was no different from a normal person, unlike when he first started to appear sickly pale.

Because of this, although Tsunade asked, her tone wasn't overly worried. This visible change completely put Tsunade at ease.

"Don't worry, this is a normal reaction. He will wake up naturally when he is fully recovered." Yi Shuihan also sensed the condition of the rope tree and found that the rope tree was in much better condition than he had thought.

"In this state, he doesn't need any food, because the hot spring will provide energy directly."

Yi Shuihan continued, but he no longer paid attention to the rope tree, as he believed the outcome of the matter was already decided.
