My Real Job is Spying on Konoha, but I'm Also its Hokage

Konoha Hospital, Ward 77.

A tense and critical surgery was underway. Lying on the operating table was Hizashi Hyuga, the younger brother of the clan head, Hiashi Hyuga. In the future, he would have a son named Neji Hyuga. While on a mission in the Land of Wind, he had encountered a puppet master from the Hidden Sand Village and was afflicted with a potent poison.

"Haneul, get ready," Tsunade said without looking up, holding out her hand. A light green chakra quickly enveloped her palm. The normally warm chakra suddenly became sharp, like a blade. This was the A-Rank medical ninjutsu, the Chakra Scalpel.

With extreme precision, Tsunade made an incision in Hizashi's thigh.

Hemostasis Jutsu!

Haneul placed his hands over the wound, and his own green chakra stemmed the flow of blood.

"This is Chiyo's poison," Tsunade remarked casually, carefully observing the condition of the flesh. Chiyo was the strongest puppet master in the Hidden Sand Village. Puppet masters excelled at two things: creating and manipulating puppets, and concocting deadly poisons. During the Second Great Ninja War, Tsunade and Chiyo had engaged in a unique battle of poisons and antidotes, with Tsunade ultimately emerging victorious.

Of course, whenever Haneul thought of Chiyo, he couldn't help but picture "Swimsuit Chiyo."

"Haneul, use the Delicate Illness Extraction Technique," Tsunade commanded. "Nonō, go get the antidote I prepared."

Haneul immediately began forming hand seals. The Delicate Illness Extraction Technique was a B-Rank medical ninjutsu. It located the source of harmful substances like toxins and pathogens within a patient's body and then extracted or transplanted them. It was considered one of the more difficult medical ninjutsu, and it had taken Haneul half a year to learn.

"Lady Tsunade." Nonō Yakushi handed her a vial of medicine.

"Mhm." Tsunade took it and opened the bottle.

"It's here," Haneul said, having located the poison by tracking the chaotic chakra within Hizashi's body.

Seeing this, Tsunade sprinkled the medicinal powder, coordinating with his extraction technique. A moment later, the flesh in Hizashi's leg returned to its normal color, no longer black.

"Haneul, release." Tsunade handed the vial back to Nonō, then channeled light green chakra into both hands, performing the Mystical Palm Technique. Haneul immediately dispersed his chakra and withdrew his hands. He watched as Hizashi's wound gradually healed, marveling once again at the power of the Mystical Palm Technique. Unfortunately, its difficulty was too high, and he still hadn't learned it.

Half a year had passed since Tsunade's birthday. Haneul had successfully acquired the C-Rank Trait 'Medical Chunin.'

[C-Rank Talent Trait: Medical Chunin]

Activation Condition: Possess nine Medical Ninjutsu Traits.

Effect: The effectiveness of all medical ninjutsu is increased by 50%.

Note: Reaching 'Mastered' proficiency in all nine medical ninjutsu can lead to an evolution into the B-Rank Trait: Medical Special Jonin.

A 50% boost was an incredibly powerful effect, saving a significant amount of chakra. The power of a ninjutsu depended on the amount of chakra invested and the user's understanding of its nature and form—in other words, their proficiency. Take Madara Uchiha, for example. In his hands, even an ordinary Fire Style jutsu could unleash power comparable to a forbidden technique. With this trait, Haneul's 100% chakra output was equivalent to someone else's 150%.

What troubled him, however, was the proficiency requirement for the B-Rank 'Medical Special Jonin' Trait. Thanks to his cheat system, once he successfully performed a jutsu, it automatically reached the 'Proficient' level. The levels of proficiency were: Beginner, Proficient, and Mastered. 'Proficient' was usually enough, but now he was required to raise all his medical ninjutsu to 'Mastered,' which would be very time-consuming. But he had no choice but to do it.

Thus, during the vacation after his second year, Haneul began an internship at the Konoha Hospital.

In addition to the C-Rank 'Medical Chunin,' he had also obtained the C-Rank 'Genjutsu Chunin,' which had similar effects and upgrade requirements: a 50% power boost to genjutsu and an upgrade to Special Jonin after mastering nine different genjutsu.

"Done," Tsunade said, withdrawing her hands. Maintaining the Mystical Palm Technique for five minutes had caused beads of sweat to form on her forehead. Haneul quickly handed her a towel.

"You did well just now," Tsunade said, wiping her brow.

"More than just well," Nonō couldn't help but add. "Haneul's current medical ninjutsu level is no less than that of a Special Jonin!" In her eyes, Haneul was remarkably skilled in every technique. Most importantly, he was only eight years old.

"He's still got a long way to go," Tsunade said, shaking her head. Although Nonō's statement wasn't wrong, Tsunade had always held Haneul to the standard of a future Hokage.

"Yes, I will work hard," Haneul nodded firmly. It was worth noting that the ninja rankings in his Trait System were different from the official rankings of the ninja world; the system's standards were much higher. For example, mastering nine medical ninjutsu would easily earn someone the rank of Jonin in the ninja world, but the Trait System only considered it Special Jonin.

"..." Nonō glanced between the two of them, who both seemed to take this impossibly high standard for granted. She fell into a deep thought. Am I caught in a genjutsu? Or has Konoha changed its ninja standards?

"Let's go," Tsunade said, putting down the towel and leaving the operating room.

"Lady Tsunade." Hiashi Hyuga, who had been waiting outside, hurried forward. "How is Hizashi's condition?"

"The poison has been neutralized. He'll be fine after a few days of rest," Tsunade said with a slight nod.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade," Hiashi said, sighing in relief.

"It was nothing," Tsunade waved her hand.

"Is this your student, Lady Tsunade?" Hiashi noticed Haneul and praised him. "An intern at such a young age? Truly a promising young talent."

"Lord Hiashi," Nonō corrected him, "he is not an intern. He is Lady Tsunade's assistant surgeon."

Hiashi's face showed an expression of disbelief. A surgery typically had a lead surgeon and an assistant, a role that no ordinary medical ninja could fill. It required at least a Chunin. This meant Haneul was already a Medical Chunin... at eight years old?

"Alright, don't praise him too much, or he'll get arrogant," Tsunade said, a small smile playing on her lips. "We'll be leaving now."

Haneul quickly followed her.

"When does your school year start?" Tsunade suddenly asked.

"Tomorrow," Haneul replied, then paused. "Are you going to come and get me partway through?"

"Get you?" Tsunade looked at him, puzzled.

"Lord Hokage's speech is definitely going to be long. I don't want to listen to it," Haneul said with a slight cough.

"Isn't your dream to become Hokage?" Tsunade couldn't help but laugh. "Shouldn't you be studying his technique?"

"No way, no way," Haneul shook his head emphatically. "When I become Hokage, my speeches will definitely be under three minutes."

"Whether you can even become Hokage is still a question," Tsunade said, tapping him on the head. "Show some humility."

"I am always humble," Haneul replied with a straight face.
