Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 - 15: Kakashi's Recovery

"Shizune, stay here and help me approve these documents. I'm going to treat Kakashi!"

Shizune had just returned with the medical records, barely catching her breath, when she heard Tsunade's instructions.

Approve documents?

Looking at the towering stack of paperwork, Shizune's expression changed instantly.

"Tsunade-sama, this is the Hokage's authority. I'm just an ordinary jōnin—I don't have the qualifications!" As a normal shinobi, Shizune still held deep respect for the Hokage.

In her eyes, these documents were something only the Hokage should review. For her, a mere jōnin, to even look at them felt like overstepping boundaries.

"Just do as you're told! Why so much nonsense?"

"I'm going to save someone. Hikari, come with me. Shizune, just approve them. If there's anything important or something you're unsure about, set it aside."

With that, Tsunade grabbed the medical records from Shizune's hands, called out to Kamizuki Hikari, and strode out the door.

Hikari glanced at the stunned Shizune, and sent her a sympathetic look before quietly slipping away behind Tsunade.

Konoha Hospital, Kakashi's ward.

Tsunade was examining Kakashi, her heart filled with shock.

She knew the effects of the nutrient solution she had formulated.

It definitely had healing properties, but nothing this powerful.

Right now, Kakashi's chakra reserves had more than doubled, and the rejection of his left eye by his body had decreased to its lowest level.

If she hadn't heard Hikari's inner thoughts, she might have assumed that this was the result of Kakashi's body naturally adapting to the Sharingan after years of use, eventually achieving genetic compatibility.

But now, that explanation wouldn't hold up.

She was truly curious—how exactly had Kamizuki Hikari solved the issue of the Sharingan's rejection?

'Forget it. There's still time. Today, I'll focus on healing Kakashi. The rest can wait.'

With that decision made, Tsunade's hands glowed with green chakra as she pressed them onto Kakashi's head.

[Boom!]

[At this moment, within Kakashi's mind, it was as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, a singularity exploding to create a new world.]

[Kakashi felt a massive shift in his spirit. Beyond that, his left eye... within it, he sensed a mysterious power...]

Tsunade couldn't help but close her eyes.

Kamizuki Hikari, that bastard, was narrating in his head again.

Hearing this, she almost mistook it for Kakashi's actual thoughts.

"Huh? You are... Tsunade-sama!?"

Due to his prolonged unconsciousness, Kakashi felt disconnected from his body upon waking. His vision was blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.

Fortunately, his Sharingan quickly adjusted, allowing him to recognize the person before him.

"How do you feel?" Tsunade asked with concern.

Kakashi closed his eyes and silently assessed his body.

His chakra reserves had doubled, his mental state was excellent, and most notably, his left eye... It felt just like an ordinary eye, no longer burdened as before.

With a slight surge of chakra, Kakashi noticed a drastic improvement in his vision.

He could see clearer. Further.

'Tsunade-sama's chakra is overwhelming... As expected of the Senju Clan.'

'And Hikari... It's as if a layer of white mist surrounds him, making it hard to see... Wait, the mist disappeared. His chakra is only at the level of a chūnin? Was I imagining things just now?'

"Kakashi, don't use chakra to stimulate your left eye yet. Take a look in the mirror and tell me if you notice anything different!" Tsunade instructed while handing him a mirror.
