The primary reason lies in the fact that the medical expertise mastered by my son is vastly different from the mainstream techniques employed by conventional medics. His approach deviates significantly from the established norms of medical practice.
This can be clearly observed from the fact that he merely took your pulse and, in doing so, accurately diagnosed and treated your illness with precision and ease. It is an unconventional yet highly effective approach that speaks volumes about his capabilities.
Furthermore, he has not mastered any form of medical ninjutsu. While this may seem like a shortcoming to some, it is actually a testament to his unparalleled skill. He does not require the traditional methods of medical ninjutsu to achieve results—his methods are entirely unique and self-sufficient.
These abilities are all that he needs.
Additionally, he also desires—no, I also want him—to take on the mantle of being known as Tsunade's disciple, the disciple of the Third Hokage, so that he may navigate the early years of his growth in relative peace and stability.
Do you have any further questions?
To assume that we seek to secure the position of Hokage for Ethan by relying solely on the title of Tsunade's disciple is laughable. Such a notion is an absolute joke.
Neither Sarah nor Ethan have ever entertained such a ridiculous plan. Our ambitions far exceed such a simplistic goal.
When the day arrives in which the strength of the Uchiha clan is indisputable—when we have the power to stand unchallenged at the summit of the ninja world—there will be no need to fight for the title of Hokage. The position will naturally be offered to us, and we will accept it only on our own terms.
"Is that so? It appears I misunderstood your intentions."
"Yes, it is true that merely possessing the title of Tsunade's disciple is not an effective means to ascend to the position of Hokage."
"This request can be granted. What are your thoughts, Tsunade?"
Uzumaki Mito nodded thoughtfully before finally shifting her gaze to Tsunade, awaiting her response.
"Alright."
Tsunade regarded Ethan with a meaningful expression, her eyes scrutinizing him as if trying to decipher something beyond the surface. After a brief moment, she nodded and said, "I have no objections."
Internally, she mused, This little guy is quite something.
Moreover, her curiosity had been piqued. Ethan's medical techniques, so different from the conventional healing methods she had been exposed to, intrigued her immensely. That alone was reason enough for her to accept the arrangement.
Well, to be honest, there was little room for refusal in the first place.
The initiative in this negotiation had never truly rested in their hands.
"Then it is settled."
Sarah nodded in satisfaction before turning to Ethan. With a slight upward tilt of her chin, she signaled him, "Hand the life potion to Mito."
"Understood."
Ethan immediately retrieved a small vial containing the life potion from his robes. He extended his hand, offering it to Uzumaki Mito across the room.
In that instant, the eyes of both Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade locked onto the potion in his hand.
A wave of longing swept over them. Even without opening the vial, they could sense the immense vitality contained within, radiating an aura of rich, gentle life energy.
Uzumaki Mito wasted no time. She swiftly took the potion, examining it closely alongside Tsunade. Her expression shifted into one of deep admiration as she murmured, "This is indeed a remarkable potion."
It was nearly inconceivable that such an extraordinary elixir had been crafted by a mere six-year-old child.
However, now was not the time for skepticism. Taking a deep breath, Uzumaki Mito promptly removed the stopper from the vial.
Immediately, a potent wave of vitality surged from the opening, flooding the room with its presence.
"Squeak…"
Wooden surfaces—the floor, the table—began to tremble before sprouting fresh, verdant shoots.
"Hiss!"
Both Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade inhaled sharply, their eyes widening in astonishment.
"Be warned," Ethan interjected calmly. "Once opened, the potion's potency will begin to evaporate. Drink it immediately."
"Understood! Thank you."
Snapping out of her daze, Uzumaki Mito inclined her head in acknowledgment before lifting the vial to her lips. Without hesitation, she downed its contents in one swift motion.
Within moments, she felt an overwhelming surge of pure, rejuvenating energy coursing through her body, spreading outward from her stomach at an astonishing rate.
Every cell in her being seemed to awaken, hungrily absorbing the influx of vitality.
The stagnant, deathly energy that had lurked within her body for so long began to dissolve, melting away as though it had never existed. Her life force, once waning, rapidly surged back to its prime.
Her previously pale complexion blossomed into a healthy, rosy hue before their very eyes. Her hair, which had dulled with time, regained its rich, vibrant red luster.
At this moment, within the sealed space inside Uzumaki Mito's body, Nine Tails howled in frustration as Uzumaki Mito's spirit form materialized before it.
"Okay! Nine Tails, be quiet!" she commanded with a smirk.
The massive beast gritted its teeth but could do nothing as golden chains wrapped around its mouth, silencing it instantly.
Struggling in vain, Nine Tails let out muffled roars of protest. "You're a devil!" it internally screamed, but no sound escaped.
Uzumaki Mito chuckled before vanishing from the sealed space, leaving the beast to stew in its misery.
Upon returning to reality, she stretched her limbs and tested her renewed vitality, feeling nothing short of incredible.
"Haha! This is amazing! I am completely satisfied!" she laughed.
Her eyes softened as they landed on Ethan. He is truly a treasure.
Perhaps, she mused, arranging more interactions between him and Kushina wouldn't be a bad idea.
If things worked out well, she might even secure a steady supply of these miraculous potions in the future.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the village, Kushina sneezed and yawned, feeling a strange sense of foreboding.
Minato, passing by at that moment, could only sigh in resignation, realizing once again how impossible it was to bridge the ever-growing gap between himself and Kushina.
In a world where ninja traditions met the free spirit of pirates, the Hidden Leaf Village now shimmered with hints of maritime adventure. Salt mingled with incense as the atmosphere pulsed with anticipation.
"How is it? Fully recovered?" Sarah asked, her tone both sharp and curious.
Uzumaki Mito slowly opened his eyes, his renewed energy evident in every breath. "Yeah! I'm fully recovered," he replied with a broad, confident smile. "This potion truly lives up to its name."
Sarah's eyes brightened with relief and determination. "Thank you. Now I have decades to fortify our alliances. The Senju and Uzumaki clans will rise again, and with Nawaki and Tsunade growing into legends, our future is secure."
Nearby, Sarah chuckled lightly. "It's a matter of honor," she said. "Our pact remains unbroken. Your strength is vital for us, and let's keep Monkey unaware of your recovery for now."
With a deliberate motion, Uzumaki Mito pressed his hand to his abdomen. In that moment, his life energy visibly doubled—a controlled surge that spoke volumes. "Very well," he declared, "let's formalize our covenant without delay. These rituals cement trust and strengthen our strategy."
Sarah nodded briskly. "Trust is our foundation. Every custom must be honored, no matter how small."
Mito then turned to Tsunade. "Tsunade, please stay with our guests," he instructed warmly.
Tsunade immediately set about her duties, pouring a steaming cup of tea infused with exotic herbs that whispered of far-off isles.
Her gaze shifted to the young prodigy. "Ethan, explain your medical techniques," she requested.
Ethan smiled confidently. "My methods blend ancient Konoha traditions with the revolutionary practices of sea healers," he explained. His words carried the promise of innovation and healing beyond conventional boundaries.
Tsunade listened intently. "Incredible," she murmured. "Your insights might redefine our healing arts."
Outside, the air grew heavy with the weight of impending conflict. Mito's revival was not just a personal triumph—it was a signal that great challenges loomed ahead, where the skills of both ninja and pirates would be put to the ultimate test.
Returning to the hall, Mito carried documents, antique pens, and sacred tools—a scroll of the Flying Thunder God Technique, another of the Tobirama Water Style, and an ancient seal scroll laden with esoteric knowledge.
In that charged moment, as Tsunade and Ethan continued their lively exchange, every participant—Mito, Ethan, and Sarah—knew they were shaping a future where the legacies of Naruto and One Piece could not only coexist but also rise to meet the coming storm.
