Chapter 16: Gai’s Plea for Help, Again
"Tsunade-sama, please perform surgery on Lee!"
Maito Gai began with a deep bow, expressing his request with utmost respect, almost on the verge of clinging to Tsunade's leg and weeping.
However, if he dared to actually touch her, Tsunade's iron fist would surely crack his skull open.
"I understand Lee's situation. I just finished treating Kakashi today. Let Lee rest for now, and I'll treat him tomorrow. Is that alright?"
"Of course! No problem, Tsunade-sama!" Gai bowed again, his forehead hitting the floor with a resounding *crack* that made Hikari's skin crawl.
[Gai really treats Lee like his own son... If Tsunade can heal Lee, he could one day open all Eight Gates and sweep through the Four Great Shinobi Villages without a problem!]
[But that would be a waste... The Eight Gates should be saved for Madara after he's revived!]
["When it comes to taijutsu, even I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest..." That legendary scene must not be missed!]
Wait a minute.
Madara's revival? What's going on with that?
The only people still alive who understand the terror of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara are old-timers like Tsunade, Ōnoki, and Kakuzu.
