Chapter – 19 Short-Term Memory Loss (Patreon)

Although Nawaki did not understand why his Nee-sama suddenly became angry at him, even threatening him with those slugs, based on his personal life experience, and the experience of observing Jiraiya’s miserable life, he knew very well that someone was going to be unlucky.

Considering that he is the one his Nee-sama is looking at with that dangerous glint, Nawaki knew very well that he must run away with his tail between his legs, otherwise what’s going to get trampled here would not only be his dignity!

In front of so many people and classmates, Nawaki definitely did not want to become an object of ridicule!

“Ano… Ano Nee-sama, I suddenly feel that my cold has healed, and I feel better… so, I don’t want to bother you, you are busy, and there are a lot of other patients who must be waiting to be treated by you…” said Nawaki hurriedly and tried to excuse himself as quickly as possible.

But how could Tsunade-hime release him so easily, she grabbed his collar and lifted him up like a chick, and said, “Wait a minute, who permitted you to leave, and what’s the hurry? Besides, how can you, who has no knowledge of medicine determine that you are suddenly better? What if there’s a bacterium in your system? You have to take proper ‘medicine,’ otherwise, there’s always a chance that it might relapse!” then she turned to Tatsumi, and asked with the same charming smile, “Isn’t that right, boy?!”

Seeing that charming smile, Tatsumi knew that he better agree with her otherwise, his position might be interchanged with Nawaki’s, moreover, Tatsumi was also very excited upon watching Nawaki getting bullied by his ‘Nee-sama,’ so he decided to add salt to the wound, “Yes yes Tsunade-sama… I saw Nawaki coughing in the class a while ago, there’s definitely something serious… He may have caught so-and-so disease, and it needs to be healed under proper medication, otherwise, it will spread through Konoha like a plague affecting everyone!”

“My foolish Otōto… even the Uchiha boy agrees that you may have caught so-and-so disease, let’s get you treated quickly with proper medication!” nodded Tsunade with a bright smile that sent chills down Nawaki’s spine.

“Tatsumi you bastard!” Nawaki shouted and glared at Tatsumi, but the young Uchiha-boy had already turned toward the arena while whistling, from time to time he glanced at the miserable Nawaki from the corner of his eyes.

“There will be payback for this, there will be war!” Nawaki, who couldn’t run away, said to the bastard while staring daggers at him. If eyes could kill, Tatsumi would have already suffered from ‘One thousand years of death!’

All this while, Mikoto looked at the pitiful Nawaki with a sympathetic smile, and said, “Nawaki-kun, admit your mistake and beg for forgiveness from Tsunade-sama, she will definitely forgive you!”

It’s true, Mikoto is really gentle and kind.

But Nawaki didn’t think so, he knew that he was going to suffer, and had already given up on struggling, much to Mikoto’s confusion.

Mikoto wondered why Nawaki wasn’t kneeling and begging for forgiveness. If it had been Tatsumi in Nawaki’s place, and she in place of Tsunade-hime, and if Tatsumi had done something that would warrant such a punishment, and in that situation if he kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, then she would definitely forgive Tatsumi!

if he apologized, then he would be able to earn forgiveness, but Nawaki wasn’t even begging for forgiveness, and this made her wonder, ‘Is this the pride of a man that Obaa-san was talking about?’

Tatsumi also looked at Nawaki in surprise, the Senju boy really didn’t bother to follow Mikoto’s suggestion, and he couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Is he really Senju Hashirama’s grandson? Is it possible that he is the grandson of Senju Tobirama?’

Unaware of Tatsumi and Mikoto’s doubts, Nawaki sighed and accepted his fate. As for begging for forgiveness? That thought didn’t even cross his mind, it’s not because of his pride or anything, it’s because of the identity of the person Mikoto was suggesting he apologize to.

“Mikoto-chan, you are wrong… very wrong…” said Nawaki as a hopeless smile appeared on his face, and he continued, “It’s not that I don’t want to apologize… it’s just that there is no need for such a thing… apology, or forgiveness… those things are pointless.”

“Could it be… Nawaki-kun, you have something else up your sleeve to avoid Tsunade-sama’s punishment?” asked Mikoto doubtfully.

“Something else? Once again you are wrong Mikoto-chan, rather, you don’t understand the situation at all!” laughed Nawaki as if he already knew the outcome of all the possible situations.

“If this was a test, then you would get ‘0’ marks, it doesn’t matter what answer you write, the result would still be the same…!” explained Nawaki, and added, “It doesn’t matter whether I apologize, or beg for forgiveness… My Nee-sama would still ‘punish me’ and ‘torture’ until she is completely satisfied!”

“……” Mikoto.

“……” Tatsumi.

“I am telling you, she may look like this… but she is actually an Ogre!” added Nawaki in a low tone which definitely reached a certain ‘Nee-sama’s’ ears and made her eyebrows twitch.

“It looks like the disease has also started to affect the nerves of your tongue that you are able to speak such a thing about your Nee-sama, it appears I need to double… no… triple the dose!” said Tsunade-hime as she pressed Nawaki on the table and without giving him any chance to struggle, directly inserted the slugs she had summoned inside his mouth, ‘Medical Style: The Art of Slug Job!”

Before Nawaki could speak anything, slug and mucus filled his mouth, and it came out of his nose, spreading a bitter taste everywhere causing him to scrunch up his face in disgust.

After all, the Innocence is gone~ ta da da da!

“What’s with your expression? This is a special medicine that I have worked hard to develop… It is designed to treat, hypocrisy, voyeurism, and brattishness… surely it works on you, right?” said Tsunade-hime.

“Wee-sava… viven’t vyu vai vat vit vures visease?” (Nee-sama, didn’t you say that it cures disease earlier?) asked Nawaki with tears streaming down in his eyes, and mucus flowing out of his nose.

“Of course, it works on other so-and-so diseases as well…!” nodded Tsunade-hime with a charming smile as she brushed her blonde hair, and added, “Surely, it must have worked on you, right? If it hadn’t then, I guess that only means that the dose is less, and I need to provide more dose.”

Nawaki trembled and wanted to escape from there.

‘Poor Nawaki, he really is miserable…’ said Tatsumi with a sigh while covering Mikoto’s eyes. He himself couldn’t bear to look all that white stuff in Nawaki’s mouth, how could he allow his innocent, kind, and gentle Mikoto to see that thing?

Looking at the half-dead Nawaki, Tatsumi also added Senju Tsunade to the list of ‘most horrible woman’ in order to not do anything to offend her.

Today he really understood that unlike his kind and gentle Mikoto, this woman is incredibly dangerous. A woman who could do such a terrible thing to her Otōto would really dare to break Jiraiya’s bones, there’s no surprise there.

Speaking of which, aside from his rudimentary knowledge based on the canon material, Tatsumi doesn’t know anything about the woman named Senju Tsunade.

Although Tatsumi and Nawaki have been close friends for over a year, this is the first time he has seen his ‘Nee-sama’ face-to-face.

And now that he has seen her, Tatsumi also understood that among the trio of the pervert, gambler, and pedophile, this woman is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But then again, she really is a piece of art. It doesn’t matter if she is an ogre or a brute, that beauty is not a lie.

Although the current Tsunade-hime is only sixteen years old not the grandmother from the canon who relied on the Yin-seal to maintain a youthful appearance, her adult charm has already started to manifest.

Those slender long legs, thick thighs, a bubbly butt, a slim waist… and… and… and, huh?

‘Something’s wrong!’ thought Tatsumi as his eyes widened and he suddenly felt that Tsunade-hime before him didn’t look all that feminine at all!

“Which part is wrong?” muttered Tatsumi in confusion as he suddenly noticed the flat surface upon moving his head above her waist, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “What? Flat chest?”

“Let me break all your fingers as well! One by one, very neatly!” the same charming smile that she was only showing to her Otōto, Tatsumi also became prey to it.

‘Crap… I ended up speaking that out loud, it seems I have stepped on a landmine!’ these were his last thoughts as he suddenly suffered from a short-term memory loss in regards to the events that happened later.
