Naruto: Reborn as Zoro

98. Best Doctor

In Tsunade's house, Zoro explains Hiyori's situation to both Tsunade and Shizune while she plays with Tonton and the cat-sized Torao in the yard. Both of their expressions turn grim as soon as they hear what Hiyori has been through.

"I see, so that's why you want to check if her body is really fine now. You make the correct choice." Shizune looks at the happy Hiyori with a sympathetic gaze.

"Shizune, quickly examine her. It has been days, so if she has a hidden injury or illness caused by her bad days, then it might have become a bigger problem, so we need to examine her quickly."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Zoro calls Hiyori so she can be examined by the 2 experts. Tsunade is the one who checks Hiyori's condition while Shizune is ready to note everything. She checks Hiyori's pulse, touches her stomach with her green chakra-coated hands, inspects her mouth, asks questions, and other medical stuff that Zoro doesn't understand.

"She was mildly poisoned, probably because of the dirty water she drank. That dirty water also must be filled with parasites and worms because she is infected with some. The parasites are quite weak, that's why she doesn't show any symptoms of being ill while the worms have grown quite big in her stomach, so we need to take them out. There are some damages in her stomach because she didn't eat anything for days, but they are recovering slowly. The problem is the damage on her lungs and veins caused by the low temperature when she was stranded. Don't worry though, I can heal those, just won't be that fast because her body is still too young to receive the intense treatments."

"So you can fix all the problems, right?"

"Of course, but it will take time and she needs routine treatments, so I'm afraid you can't go anywhere for a while."

"Doesn't matter. I can stay still for months if it means you can treat her."

"Heh, you'll really be a good father. Well, it won't take months, so don't worry. Fortunately, she was healthy before that incident happened and didn't catch any dangerous illness there. You found her right on time and your first treatments were not bad, so she didn't get something worse. Besides, she has a great metabolism and immune system. Normal children won't be able to run around that quickly after almost starving to death."

"Really? But I was in my peak condition again after eating some moldy bread when I almost died because of starvation too. My situation back then was similar to Hiyori, so I thought it was normal."

Zoro is telling the truth and the 2 medical nins know that he doesn't lie. That's why they become speechless because he is really abnormal.

"It was my mistake to treat you like a normal person." Tsunade sighs before drinking the sake that Zoro gives her.

"Then I will go find an inn for us to stay. What time do we need to come for the treatment tomorrow?" Zoro wants to excuse himself.

"Why look for an inn? Just stay here. You won't even need to cook because Shizune will do it for you. 1,500 ryo a night." Tsunade smirks.

"Let's go find an inn, Hiyori." Zoro stands up without any hesitation.

The average inn is only 500 ryo a night for a single person, breakfast and dinner included. It will at most be 800 ryo with Hiyori too, or less because she is a child. So Tsunade is trying to rip them off, typical.

"W-wait! It also includes the medical treatment fee, you know, and 3 meals a day." Tsunade quickly stops Zoro.

Zoro looks at Shizune with a puzzled expression because it's so unusual for Tsunade to do this kind of thing even if she loves money.
