**Chapter 192: The High-Level Game Begins**

The Root operative was stunned by Reiki's words. Not only had Reiki detected him, despite his skill in masking his presence, but he even knew about the cursed seal on his tongue. His mind spun with conflicting thoughts. Should he stay and let Reiki attempt to remove the curse, or report back to D...

**Chapter 191: The Third Hokage’s Suspicion and the Roots' Secrets**

Danzo remained silent in the face of Orochimaru's insistence on continuing the experiments. Research and experimentation were Orochimaru's realm; Danzo's task was simply to supply the necessary conditions and materials. Beyond that, he trusted Orochimaru to handle the details.

"Fine. Just m...

**Chapter 190: The Path to Awakening Wood Release**

Reiki had long wondered why the Wood Release ability he'd gained hadn't activated. Now, with the influx of Hashirama's cells from the injured patient, everything was beginning to make sense.

As he focused on the energy pulsing through him, he noticed his chakra expanding, adapting to this f...

**Chapter 189: Special S-Class Injury – Hashirama Cells!**

After a night of rest, Shisui and Nozuki had already gone off on their missions, with Nozuki being summoned by Minato to serve as his assistant and Shisui taken aside by Uchiha Ze. Reiki, meanwhile, was enjoying his usual morning exercise before heading to the hospital for his shift.

At the...

**Chapter 188: Mutated Sharingan?!**

After a final examination, Reiki withdrew his hand from Obito's forehead. Just then, Nozuki and Shisui entered the room, and Reiki nodded at them.

"Ah, you're both here. Good timing," Reiki said, though his expression remained serious. "Let's all talk after dinner. Obito, stay with me for a...

**Chapter 187: Obito’s Two-Tomoe Sharingan**

After hearing Orochimaru's suggestion to Danzo, the Root leader remained uneasy. Jiraiya might not have a hand in Konoha's political schemes, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was another matter entirely.

"The third Hokage doesn't need a strategic thinker; he needs a controllable puppet," Danzo muttered...

**Chapter 186: Recruiting Disciples Raises Concerns Among the Elders**

After completing the registration for his new team, Minato left to prepare materials for their training, leaving the newly-formed team behind with Reiki.

"Boss, did you recommend Rin to become a medical ninja?" Obito asked eagerly, his eyes sparkling with admiration.

Reiki smiled, nod...

**Chapter 185: Minato Accepts a Disciple**

At the Uchiha compound, Uchiha Ze looked at Minato with mild curiosity as he arrived with Kakashi in tow.

"Minato? What brings you to the Uchiha clan today? Looking for the clan leader?" Uchiha Ze asked.

"I'm not here for Lord Fugaku," Minato replied with a smile. "I'm actually here t...

**Chapter 184: Minato’s Intentions**

After their sparring session, Kakashi sheathed his short sword and turned to Reiki.

"Thank you, Reiki," he said. "Now I understand the difference between us, especially in terms of swordsmanship. Next time, if possible, I'd like to challenge you with that black sword of yours."

Reiki ...

**Chapter 183: Genin Graduation Gifts**

The morning was just beginning, and the recently graduated genin were buzzing with excitement as they prepared for their early training.

"Let's get some morning exercise in first," Reiki said with a grin. "I have graduation gifts for each of you once we're done. Let's go."

The group s...

**Chapter 182: Tsunade Approaches Minato**

At the northern border of the Land of Fire, Nozuki looked at her mission list with pride.

"Brother, we've completed all our missions! Why don't we head back now?" she asked, flashing a victorious grin. This mission had allowed her to accomplish several B-level tasks under her brother's guid...

**Chapter 181: The Trust Between Master and Disciple**

After considering Tsunade's words, Reiki looked up at her with a hopeful expression.

"Teacher, can I sit down to talk?" he asked, sounding almost pitiful.

After standing all morning, he felt like he might be flung out of the room if Tsunade lost her temper.

"Just stand and talk,...

**Chapter 180: Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Suspicion**

After hearing Uchiha Mikoto's request, Reiki was momentarily stunned. She was asking him to name her child?

"Call him Itachi," Reiki said finally, choosing a name he felt embodied strength and insight. "Uchiha Itachi."

"A weasel?" Mikoto laughed softly. "Thank you, Reiki. You must be ...

**Chapter 179: Uchiha Shisui**

Upon hearing Shisui's voice, Uchiha Fugaku set aside his frustrations and refocused.

"Reiki, the medical ninja, let him come over," Fugaku responded. The Uchiha clan had received treatment from Reiki before, with promising results. Plus, Reiki had taken the initiative to come, and Fugaku di...

**Chapter 178: The Debate Within the Uchiha**

Upon arriving at the Uchiha compound, Reiki could feel the tense, almost frozen atmosphere hanging over everyone. The Uchiha clan's recent battle with Kirigakure, compounded by the delayed rescue and the tragic loss of their leader, had cast a somber shadow over the entire clan.

In Uchiha F...

**Chapter 177: Lone Wolf, Wolf King**

The mission given to the Uchiha clan was clear: eliminate all Kirigakure ninjas who had infiltrated the Land of Fire. Leading his team of Uchiha jounin and chuunin, Uchiha Tani initially found success in the mission. The Kirigakure forces, whether seasoned jounin or mid-level chuunin, fell swiftl...

**Chapter 176: Uchiha Tani's Sacrifice**

After a moment of contemplation, Uchiha Fugaku still held back from speaking. He knew certain things, but how much did Reiki know? Despite his talent, Reiki was just a medical ninja. Though his teacher held some status, it did not translate into real power within Konoha. Reputation alone wasn't e...

Chapter 175: Talking About Uchiha at Night

After returning to the residence, Reiki noticed that Tsunade had already retired for the night. Not wanting to disturb her, he decided to take some action alone. 

"Lord Morishita," Reiki called softly. Morishita, ever vigilant, appeared almost instantly.

"I'm planning to head to ...

Chapter 174: Suspicions in the Interrogation Department

After persuading Tsunade to leave the casino, Reiki gathered their purchased medicinal supplies and headed back to Konoha. With the high-level conflicts quiet for now, Reiki's life settled back into his usual rhythm of rigorous training and treating patients. A week passed uneventfully until, one...

Chapter 173: High-Level Fluctuations

After leaving the Sanada Chamber of Commerce, Reiki resumed his purchasing mission, this time focusing on gathering rare medicinal ingredients for his advanced body-strengthening potions. Though he found a few herbs in the local markets, he knew he would need more support from the Sanada Chamber ...

Chapter 172: Mention of the Sanada Chamber of Commerce

In the Land of Grass…

"President, all the potions we prepared have nearly sold out. Even the extra stock we bought from other ninjas is running low," said the steward of the Sanada Chamber of Commerce, Kumoto, looking anxious. "Should we make another trip to Konoha?"

Prime Minister ...

Chapter 171: The Untouchable Horror!

Back in Tsunade's courtyard, Reiki felt Tsunade's piercing gaze.

"Teacher, I know what you're wondering," he said with a sigh. "Hyuga Tetsu's condition isn't like typical bloodline diseases. If it were, it wouldn't have been so complex."

"'Typical bloodline disease'?" Tsunade repeated...

Chapter 170: Blood Boundary Disease!

Soon, Reiki had Hyuga Tetsu stripped down and placed in the steaming medicinal bath Tsunade had prepared. Almost immediately, the water began to bubble and change, turning from murky to crystal clear as it absorbed the impurities from Tetsu's body.

"Faster than expected," Reiki muttered. Tu...

Chapter 169: Something’s Wrong with Hyuga Tetsu!

The next morning, shouts echoed outside Tsunade's small courtyard.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade had woken up early, intending to take Reiki to the hospital to teach him some new medical ninjutsu. Curious, she strode to the door.

"Hinata Nobu?" she asked, surprised. "Has something hap...

Chapter 168: Eye Roll Question!

After running two laps around the village, Reiki sat on a park bench, taking a long drink of water. Beside him, Hinata Tetsu, a member of the Hyuga clan, looked a bit tense.

"Tetsu, you mentioned something felt off with your body. What exactly seems to be the problem?" Reiki asked, catching...

Chapter 167: Orochimaru’s Experiment, Reiki’s Plan!

The next morning, Kato Dan's uncle arrived to claim his body, taking it to the memorial garden. Officially, it was announced that Kato Dan had died heroically defending the Third Hokage from a secret attack. As Kato Dan's closest relative, Shizune was called to pay her respects.

Outside the...

Chapter 166: Rejection, Kato Dan’s Death

After hearing Orochimaru's proposal, Reiki fell silent. Becoming Orochimaru's assistant? Though he wasn't naive, he knew that Orochimaru's experiments were far beyond the boundaries of good and bad—they trespassed into the realm of the unethical. The results might be fascinating, but the method...

Chapter 165: Orochimaru’s Invitation!

After closing his stats panel, Reiki pulled out a sheet of paper and began planning his next steps. Healing was his top priority, followed by physical training. Given his advanced swordsmanship, Reiki knew he could still fight effectively even if his chakra was depleted, as long as his physical s...

Chapter 164: Shizune’s Choice!

As Tsunade left the Hokage's office with Reiki, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a mix of helplessness and regret as he watched them go. So much had happened that could never be undone, and the weight of his decisions lingered heavily.

"Summon Danzo," Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered, putting his thoughts of ...

Chapter 163: Master and Apprentice Take Action!

Tsunade was initially apprehensive about Reiki's health, but after their conversation, she put her worries aside and followed him to the Hokage's office. As they reached the Hokage Building, Tsunade stopped Reiki, gripping his hand tightly.

"Reiki, you know you're more important to me than ...
