After examining Might Duy's injuries, Tsunade was utterly shocked that he was still alive.
Such wounds, on anyone else, would have certainly led to death.
Yet, Might Duy was alive; it was nothing short of a miracle.
Therefore, Tsunade became extremely interested in discovering what ninjutsu Veigar had used to save Might Duy's life.
"Shizune, are you and Veigar good friends?"
Shizune, who was assisting Tsunade, paused at Tsunade's inquiry, then answered openly:
"Mm, not that good!"
"It's just, just..."
Shizune shook her head, not elaborating.
"Just what?"
Seeing Shizune's attitude, Tsunade knew there was a story there and quickly pressed for more.
"Nothing!"
"Tsunade-sama, why did you suddenly ask about Veigar?"
A slightly embarrassed Shizune quickly changed the subject to divert Tsunade's attention.
Tsunade didn't dwell on it and instead said to Shizune:
"Shizune, go fetch Veigar. I have some questions for him."
Shizune paused again, asking:
"Now?"
Tsunade nodded and said:
"Now."
Outside the door, Veigar, who was comforting Might Guy, suddenly saw the hospital room door open, and both their attentions were drawn.
"Veigar, you were here all along!"
Seeing Veigar right outside the door, Shizune exclaimed in surprise.
"Shizune, what's wrong?"
"Looking for me? How is Duy-senpai?"
Seeing Shizune emerge, Veigar nodded, then asked his concerned questions.
Might Guy stood nearby, looking at Shizune with anticipation, hoping she would bring good news.
"Tsunade-sama wants me to bring you inside."
"Tsunade-sama is still examining Duy-sama's condition."
Hearing Shizune's reply, Might Guy's spirits dipped slightly, but this was only natural, as his father was the one lying in the hospital room.
"Alright, I'll go in now."
"Guy, don't worry. Have faith in Tsunade-sama."
Veigar turned to comfort Might Guy, then followed Shizune inside.
"Tsunade-sama, you sent for me?"
Looking at Tsunade's back, Veigar quickly spoke.
Tsunade turned around, looked at Veigar, and asked:
"Veigar, can you tell me how you saved Duy?"
Tsunade didn't waste words, getting straight to the point.
As a medical ninja, Tsunade knew best how dire Might Duy's condition was, yet Veigar had managed to save him under such circumstances.
Therefore, she was certain that Veigar possessed an extremely powerful medical ninjutsu.
This was why she had developed such a strong interest in Veigar.
Veigar didn't hide anything. He directly took the Samehada from his back, held it in his hand, and said to Tsunade:
"The Samehada's role in saving Duy-senpai was indispensable."
Seeing Tsunade's confused look, Veigar explained:
"The Samehada has the ability to provide its master with the chakra it normally absorbs and stores for healing."
"It was with its help that I was able to save Duy-senpai."
Both Tsunade and Shizune's eyes showed surprise, and Tsunade said incredulously:
"A blade? How is that possible?"
Tsunade, who had never heard of a blade being able to save someone, simply couldn't believe what Veigar was saying.
Veigar knew Tsunade was skeptical, so he continued to explain:
"Tsunade-sama, you know about the Nine Tailed Beasts in the ninja world, right?"
Tsunade nodded and asked:
"Could it be, the Samehada...?"
Ignoring Tsunade's guess, Veigar said:
"Although the Samehada is a blade now, it's actually a living creature."
"Before it fell into Kirigakure's hands, it followed Isobu, the Three-Tails, absorbing its chakra to survive."
"Now, it has just been modified into a blade by the Mist."
"Let me demonstrate for you!"
Tsunade moved aside, allowing Veigar to walk over to Might Duy, who was hooked up to various medical instruments.
"Samehada, give him your chakra."
During this time, Samehada had already, under Veigar's command, shared its chakra with Might Duy multiple times, albeit reluctantly.
However, it still had to obey Veigar's command.
"Don't look so aggrieved, hurry up."
At Veigar's urging, Samehada once again provided chakra to Might Duy, though for Might Duy's injuries, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
Ultra-Fast Regeneration Technique!
Seeing Samehada already at work, Veigar didn't idle either, using the Ultra-Fast Regeneration Technique on Might Duy once more.
"This is...?"
Watching Veigar and the Samehada, one person and one blade, treating Might Duy, Tsunade looked at Veigar's hands in surprise.
"This medical ninjutsu..."
At this point, Tsunade didn't just stand by; she joined in the treatment of Might Duy.
Creation Rebirth Technique!
Tsunade truly lived up to her reputation as the acknowledged medical master of the ninja world; the medical ninjutsu she used was incredibly powerful.
However, almost all the cells in Might Duy's body were necrotic at this point, so the effect of the Creation Rebirth Technique wasn't strong.
But it was better than nothing.
The two individuals and one blade persisted for over half an hour, expending a large amount of chakra and sweating profusely.
"Phew..."
Both of them exhaled deeply. Tsunade looked at Veigar and said:
"With medical ninjutsu like that, I acknowledge you."
"I'll come up with a medical plan for Duy's injuries as soon as possible."
Veigar re-hung the Samehada on his back, nodded at Tsunade, and said:
"Then I'll leave it to Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade looked at the Samehada on Veigar's back and said with a hint of envy:
"No wonder you're unwilling to hand over the Samehada."
To this, Veigar simply smiled faintly and replied:
"It's spoils of war I won with my strength, why would I return it?"
Tsunade and Veigar exchanged a knowing smile.
"You brat."
A part of the Samehada's ability had been demonstrated, which was enough to prove that Veigar wasn't lying. He also believed that information about the Samehada would soon be on Hiruzen's desk.
It wasn't until evening that Veigar, stomach rumbling, walked out of Konoha Hospital and headed home.
...
Konoha Village, Uchiha Clan Compound.
Fugaku Uchiha sat in his study, toying with a Flying Raijin kunai in his hand.
"Fugaku-senpai, are the things I asked for ready?"
Suddenly, Veigar's figure appeared beside Fugaku.
As if he had known Veigar would come, Fugaku showed no surprise. He pointed at the sealing scroll on the desk and said:
"It's all in there."
Veigar grabbed the sealing scroll and said to Fugaku:
"Thank you, Fugaku-senpai."
The next second, Veigar vanished from Fugaku's sight.
