Chapter 218: Fat Sheep
🕑 Added 2023-11-24 06:52:23 +0000 UTCAt this point, Sasuke's face turned pale, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. It wasn't because of Kakashi's killing intent or the White short sword pressed against his neck; it was because Kakashi's sliding kick had just broken his right shinbone.
Enduring the pain, Sasuke clenched his teeth, stubbornly refusing to cry out and lose face.
Tsunade, who had been eating potato chips on the sidelines, appeared between the two.
"Alright, the winner of this sparring match is Kakashi Hatake!"
On the side, Shizune covered her face.
Lady Tsunade lost again!
Seeing Kakashi still not retracting his knife, Tsunade's expression changed abruptly. She stomped her foot on the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground quaked, and the house miraculously didn't collapse.
Feeling Tsunade's displeasure, Kakashi withdrew the short sword from Sasuke's neck but kept his gaze on Tsunade. He then explained, "He learned my self-created jutsu!"
Hearing Kakashi's words, Tsunade landed a punch on Kakashi's head and pointed at the fallen Sasuke. "This guy is your future disciple, and the Chidori is something you taught him."
"Disciple?" Kakashi exclaimed incredulously.
Waving her hand dismissively, Tsunade said to Shizune, "Explain the details to Kakashi."
Apparently, Tsunade didn't know the specifics either. She and Shizune had casually discussed it in the lab.
Shizunehurried over when Tsunade called her, then began to explain their relationship with Uchiha Sasuke to Kakashi.
Meanwhile, Tsunade helped Sasuke, who was lying on the ground. After checking his injuries, she said, "Fracture, but not a big deal."
Tsunade covered Sasuke's fractured leg, and with a forceful motion, there was a cracking sound as she straightened his bones.
"After lying in the recovery room for a few hours, it should be fine. I have to say, this wax bath is quite convenient!"
"It won't delay the evening gathering!"
With his bones back in place, Sasuke was sweating from the pain, but being a ninja, he didn't make a sound.
Pointing to Lee, Tsunade called out, "You there, Lee, yes, you! Take this guy to the recovery room!"
Lee quickly ran over, lifted Sasuke onto his back, and rushed toward the recovery room. Naruto followed closely behind.

On the other side-
General Ross, with his team, surrounded Bruce Banner's residence. After a brief skirmish, they failed to capture him. Instead, Banner managed to escape, leaving his computer behind, providing Ross with some clues.
Simultaneously, Bronski learned from General Ross about the giant creature that played with a wrecking ball and found out it was Bruce Banner himself.
Because of the failed capture and the lost target, General Ross led the team back to the Pentagon in New York.
In an arsenal, housing tanks, missiles, and fighter jets, Ross and Bronski conversed.
"What I'm about to tell you is highly sensitive, both for me and the military.”
“You should be aware of the U.S. weapons development program."
"During World War II, they conducted experiments, enhancing soldiers with biotechnological capabilities."
Bronski replied, "Creating super soldiers and thus giving birth to Captain America from that experiment!"
General Ross stopped in his tracks, looking at Blonsky. "Exactly!"
"It's not that simple, but you're correct."
"That experiment only produced one person, so I ordered them to carry out bold experiments again."
"But the research department only wanted to create better weapons, while we aimed to build stronger soldiers."
Ross continued, "Banner's experiment only reached the initial stage and was practically unusable."
"He thought he was researching anti-radiation methods, and I never told him the truth."
"But he was too sure of himself, conducting unauthorized human experiments.”
"His body belongs to the U.S. military."
Listening to Ross's narration, Blonsky raised a question, "You said he wasn't developing weapons."
"That's correct."
"But you are, aren't you?"
"We are developing a serum with great potential."
"Why did he go on the run?"
"He's a scientist, not a soldier."
Now, Ross stood face to face with Blonsky, asking suddenly, "How old are you this year? 45?"
Blonsky didn't understand why General Ross suddenly asked this but answered, "39!"
Ross chuckled, "Fighting ages you quickly, doesn't it?"
"Exactly."
Ross shrugged, saying, "Then don't go on missions anymore. With your record, you can become a colonel."
But Blonsky didn't agree with Ross's proposal. "No, I'm a warrior, always will be."
Hearing Blonsky's words, Ross pondered for a moment before saying, "I can make you stronger."
...
Evening came quickly.
Inside Charles's office, the atmosphere was lively.
This welcome party wasn't just for the recruited ninjas. Even John Wick, Wesley, Cross, and other Adjudicators were present.
Newly joined members like Michael and Selene were also there, though they could only watch others enjoy the feast with envy as they couldn’t eat.
The exception was the werewolves, unaffected by the restrictions, who could eat normally.
At the moment, Charles, the host, watched Lee and Naruto, who seemed unusually happy. He couldn't help but be curious. "Is something exciting happening?"
Before Lee could answer, Naruto eagerly shared, "Uncle, I made a bet with Tsunade-sama. I won 100,000, and Lee won 1 million!"
"Betting?" Charles asked, puzzled.
Naruto quickly explained the sparring match between Sasuke and Kakashi, vividly describing the entire scene.
Listening to Naruto's account, Sasuke, who was silent all along, continued cutting and devouring his steak.
He had thought that, with his twelve-year-old Sharingan and enhanced body, even if he wasn't as good as his teacher Kakashi, the difference shouldn't be significant.
Yet, within a short time, Kakashi managed to bring him to the ground without even using his ultimate move. This left Sasuke feeling extremely frustrated and unsatisfied.
After hearing Naruto's narration, Charles glanced at Kakashi and Sasuke, who were both eating. Then, he looked at Tsunade.
This fat sheep, Tsunade, losing wasn't surprising. If she were to win, Charles could imagine the troubles it would bring.
Seeing Charles's gaze, Tsunade approached with a bottle of wine.
"Come, let's drink!"
Observing Tsunade's imposing posture, Charles marveled silently.
