Chapter 103 Nishikawa Tetsu's Little Assistant

"Note that the temperature of the reaction solution in test tube #3 must not exceed 37 degrees Celsius, otherwise the active enzyme will become ineffective."

Nishikawa Tetsuya held a recording tablet in his hand, observing the cell slices under the microscope while giving instructions without turning his head.

"Okay, Che-kun."

His response was a clear and focused voice.

Mizuki Uzumaki was wearing a slightly oversized white lab coat, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing her fair arms. She was intently staring at the incubator in front of her, holding a dropper in her hand, her movements as steady as a veteran experimenter with ten years of experience.

"Temperature 36.8 degrees, stable. Add catalyst...reaction begins."

As a drop of blue liquid was added, the previously calm solution in the test tube instantly boiled, but quickly subsided, revealing a crystal-clear pale gold color.

"It's a success!"

Mizuki carefully sealed the test tube, turned around, and her long red hair drew a graceful arc with her movement.

She held the test tube up to Nishikawa Tetsuya with a look of curiosity in her eyes.

"Is this a semi-finished product of the basic chakra recovery potion?"

Nishikawa Tetsu took the test tube, looked at it under the light, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"It's very pure, with almost no impurities. Mizuki, you've only been learning for two weeks?"

"Yes!" Mizuki nodded vigorously. "I think these things are very interesting. Although I don't understand some of the terms, I think I can feel the changes in those liquids."

"Feel?"

"It's... the flow of chakra," Mizuki explained. "Each potion contains a faint chakra reaction. As long as you follow that rhythm, you won't make a mistake."

Nishikawa Tetsu pushed up his glasses, secretly admiring him.

Is this the talent of the Uzumaki clan?

Not only does it possess a vast amount of chakra and powerful vitality, but its perception of chakra is also incredibly acute.

This isn't just an assistant, this is practically a born alchemist!

"Great, it seems I've struck gold."

Nishikawa Tetsuya was generous with his praise.

"At this rate, you'll be able to independently manage the production line for low-level potions next month."

Mizuki blushed and lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, but her eyes shone even brighter.

Compared to being treated as a blood bank in Kusagakure, being treated as an assistant and partner here makes her feel hopeful every day.

Just then, a cold wind blew in from the doorway.

"hiss--"

A small purple snake had somehow appeared, coiled up on the doorframe, its tongue flicking.

Immediately afterwards, the figure that struck fear into the hearts of countless people walked in.

"Che-jun, I heard you brought a very interesting little guy with you?"

Orochimaru held an experimental report in his hand, his golden vertical pupils staring intently at Mizuki, as if he were looking at delicious ingredients.

"The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan... This child is different from Kushina Uzumaki."

Mizuki turned pale with fright and instinctively hid behind Nishikawa Tetsuya, clutching his clothes tightly.

Although she is now a member of the research institute, she still has an instinctive fear of the always gloomy dean.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Nishikawa Tetsu silently stood in front of Mizuki.

"She is my assistant, and also an unofficial member of the police department. Moreover... she is Lady Tsunade's half-disciple."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the two characters "Tsunade".

"Tsunade?" Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and licked his lips. He knew that every Uzumaki clan member in Konoha had to be associated with his old teammate.

"Just yesterday, Lady Tsunade said that Mizuki has a great talent for medical ninjutsu and plans to train her to be her successor."

Nishikawa Tetsuya started skillfully using someone else's name to justify his actions, regardless of whether he had said it before. He suggested that Nishikawa Tetsuya go and ask Tsunade directly if he was so confident.

"Besides, you know Lady Tsunade's temper. If one of her people is missing a hair, or if someone draws a vial of blood from her..."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to his throbbing ribs. "The consequences could be very serious."

Orochimaru's curiosity subsided slightly, but he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

"It's just a vial of blood, Che-kun."

Orochimaru leaned closer, his voice full of seduction.

"I can give you the latest software modification data in exchange. With the Uzumaki clan and my technology, we might be able to create true immortality."

"No trade." Nishikawa Tetsu refused decisively. "I haven't lived enough yet."

"Boring."

Orochimaru straightened up and sighed regretfully.

"Forget it then. I don't want to mess with that woman who's going through early menopause right now."

He turned to leave, but stopped at the door and looked back at Meiyue.

"However, little girl."

Orochimaru gave a meaningful smile.

"If you ever find medical ninjutsu too boring and want to learn something more exciting, feel free to come find me anytime."

After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

"call……"

Mizuki let out a long breath; her legs were a little weak.

"Che-jun... has Dean... always been this scary?"

You'll get used to it.

Nishikawa Tetsu patted her on the shoulder. "He's just an eccentric guy with an excessive obsession with science. Don't worry, he won't hurt you, and..."

Nishikawa Tetsu chuckled mischievously and pulled a small notebook from his pocket.

"And he's most afraid of Lady Tsunade. I'll write down what he just said. I'll go tell Lady Tsunade later that Orochimaru wants to abduct her student for human experimentation."

"Huh? This...is this tattling?" Mizuki was dumbfounded.

"No, this is called—strategic deterrence."

Nishikawa Tetsu closed the notebook, a sly glint in his eyes.

"In the workplace, learning to use the conflicts between superiors to protect yourself is also an essential lesson, Mizuki."

Looking at the boy in front of her, who was only a few years older than her but always full of mischievous (crossed out) wisdom, Mizuki couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although this place is full of strange people and dangerous experiments, everything seems to become interesting and safe as long as he is here.

"Okay, stop laughing."

Nishikawa Tetsu picked up another document.

"Break time is over. Next, we'll test the effects of this potion on the 'guinea pigs'... cough, on the volunteers. Come on, let's bring up that unfortunate guy who got arrested for passing messages to the enemy."

"OK!"

Sunlight streamed through the windows into the laboratory, dispelling the chill from before.

The new research continues amidst laughter and the screams of mice.
