I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"I admit it! I admit it!"

"I brought you to the hospital to ease the tension between you and the Uchiha clan. After all, we're from the same ninja village, and we'll run into each other all the time, right?"

"No need for apologies or anything, at least we won't start fighting as soon as we meet..."

"It wasn't my idea! It was the Third Hokage's idea!"

Sakumo Hatake was being led behind Chiaki and Mirai by Yakushi Nonou, who had her arms tied behind her back.

He dejectedly told Chiaki about the "conspiracy" he had with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

There's no way around it; as soon as Hatake Sakumo utters a few words of nonsense, Yakushi Nonou will immediately remind Chiaki.

Who knows just how sharp this woman's insight and judgment really are...

Even Konoha's White Fang couldn't hide it from Yakushi Nonou.

Ever since Chiaki agreed to help Yakushi Nonou build an orphanage, Yakushi Nonou has become Chiaki's most loyal fangirl.

She'll become anyone's henchman if they give her a child!

In fact, Root had also considered this idea, wanting Yakushi Nonou to join Root after becoming a Jonin, so that she could become a source of intelligence for Root.

Danzo even promised to take in an orphanage for the pharmacist Nono.

However, Yakushi Nonou hesitated about the proposal.

What she truly loves are children and the joy of taking care of them.

The purpose of opening an orphanage is to better care for children who have no one to look after them, so that they can grow up safely and safely.

Root's purpose is the opposite. The orphanage is just a source of information. If Yakushi Nonou joins Root, she will not really be the director of the orphanage, but an intelligence ninja.

This contradicts Yakushi Nonou's idea. She became a medical ninja because she didn't like being an intelligence ninja. Now, in order to open an orphanage, she is going back to being an intelligence ninja. Doesn't that mean she is negating everything she did as a medical ninja?

Just as Yakushi Nonou was struggling with her decision, Chiaki suddenly appeared.

Given Chiaki's status and reputation, if she were willing to take the lead in opening an orphanage, it would inevitably become the largest orphanage and shelter in Konoha!

Moreover, Chiaki didn't ask for anything at all, only that Yakushi Nonou take good care of the orphanage director position. This moved Yakushi Nonou deeply, and she was even willing to do anything for Chiaki.

See? That's the power of rhetoric. With just his words, Chiaki directly acquired a high-level medical ninja and a top-tier intelligence ninja, along with a future top-tier medical intelligence ninja.

"Finished?"

Chiaki, holding Mirai's hand, stopped in front of a hospital room and turned to look at Sakumo Hatake.

With his hands tied behind his back, Sakumo Hatake let out a long sigh, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't: "Uh—"

"Consider this as you having finished speaking."

Chiaki glanced disdainfully at Hatake Sakumo, who was clearly hiding quite a few things, and Yakushi Nonou immediately let go of her hand and stood next to Chiaki.

With Sakumo Hatake's abilities, there's no way he could be restrained by a mere Chunin like Nono Yakushi.

If he doesn't want to talk about it, he'll never open his mouth to say it, no matter what.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake had said so much to me, clearly with his own considerations, wanting to clearly convey Hiruzen Sarutobi's meaning to me.

Within Konoha, internal conflicts should be avoided as much as possible, and even if they exist, they should be minimized.

This was what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant. Chiaki understood this perfectly, and having Sakumo Hatake personally convey it was enough to prove how much Hiruzen Sarutobi valued him.

She didn't think too much about the future; she just nervously held Chiaki's hand and looked at Yakushi Nonou with the wary gaze of a queen.

This pharmacist, Nono, is so clingy to Chiaki. It seems like she'd do anything for Chiaki if he asked.

She certainly wouldn't keep rejecting Chiaki like I did. If the two of them got married, Yakushi Nonou would definitely wait obediently at home for Chiaki to come back every day and then greet her with a warm greeting.

"Honey, do you want to eat first, take a shower first, or eat me first?"

No, no, I already have a troublesome Tsunade at home, I can't handle adding another girl...

Ok?

what?

No! I wasn't jealous or envious at all!

Qianqiu and I are just friends! This is just friendly concern between friends!

No...we're not a couple or anything! Don't say things like that!

After a moment of internal struggle, she stared at Yakushi Nonou with her wet eyes.

However, Yakushi Nonou completely failed to notice Mirai's slight jealousy and hostility, and simply smiled gratefully at Mirai.

Because of her affection for Chiaki, she was extremely grateful to Chiaki, and similarly, she was incredibly grateful to the future that Chiaki doted on.

Pharmacist Nonou is nicknamed the "walking shrine maiden" among doctors because she is incredibly pure and kind-hearted and wouldn't think about so many things.

If Yakushi Nonou hadn't studied medicine, she probably wouldn't even know how men and women reproduce.

According to Danzo, it would be a shame if someone like her didn't become an intelligence ninja.

Her simple kindness makes it easy for her to gain the approval and sharing of others, while her strong insight and judgment endow her with the ability to accurately judge people's hearts and information.

With the combination of these two qualities, Yakushi Nonou is a born intelligence ninja!

Unfortunately, her heart wasn't in that; all she could think about was raising children...

You said you're clearly not interested in important life events between men and women, so why are you so interested in children!

"Let's go in."

Chiaki looked at Hatake Sakumo, who seemed hesitant to speak, and asked, puzzled, "Where is this?"

"By the way, haven't we basically visited all of Konoha Hospital?"

"Where else haven't we visited?"

Sakumo Hatake looked at the room in front of him. It was a hospital ward, and noisy commotion could be heard coming from inside.

"I said……"

Chiaki stared speechlessly at Hatake Sakumo, "Have you forgotten why you came here?"

"Purpose? What purpose?"

Sakumo Hatake scratched his head. Wasn't he supposed to be here specifically to mediate the conflict between Chiaki and the Uchiha clan?

After mediating the conflict, Qianqiu was then notified to go out together for the Dark Division assessment.

Let her stay away from the village for a while, and after the storm has passed, we can meet up again, have a meal, and the matter will be over.

That's it. The mission to mediate between Chiaki and the Uchiha clan was perfectly accomplished. Great job!

"...I think it must be really tough for Kakashi to have you as his father."

Qianqiu rolled her eyes, took Wei Lai's hand, opened the door to the ward, and went inside.

From inside the room came a listless voice: "Has someone come again...?"

"Speaking of which, it's so noisy today, Obito, can you be quiet for a bit? Rin, you tell him off!"

Chapter 148 The Night I Miss You

"Kakashi?"

"Holy crap! I have a son named Kakashi!"

Sakumo Hatake patted his head, only then remembering that he should "casually" check on his son who was in the hospital.

"excuse me."

With a slight smile, Qianqiu entered the particularly noisy ward.

The nurses who were passing by initially wanted to come in and stop them, but they all stopped in their tracks after seeing Chiaki and Pharmacist Nonou.

These two senior nurses are going in to check on the patients; the lower-ranking nurses shouldn't interfere.

In Konoha Hospital, nurses are usually young ninjas or ordinary people who don't know ninjutsu. Their main job is to assist the medical ninjas by bandaging their wounds.

The nurses have been to this ward many times, but the Uchiha clan kid inside is too naughty and they can't persuade him at all. They can only shake their heads in frustration.

Inside the ward, a short-haired black boy was gleefully mocking a white-haired boy in another bed, his mood so high that he was completely unaware of the person entering the door.

Obito Uchiha, the disgrace of the Uchiha clan, could not control his chakra from a young age, and his ninjutsu and taijutsu skills were terrible. The only thing that could improve his grades was his genjutsu skills, but this was only because of the Uchiha clan's innate genjutsu talent, and it had nothing to do with Obito himself.

He lay on the bed with a grin, his whole body wrapped in bandages, his face bruised and swollen.

Sitting beside Obito's bed was his destined goddess, Nohara Rin.

Obito looked at Rin Nohara with a fawning expression, and kept slandering Kakashi.

He was trying to improve his image in front of the goddess by putting Kakashi down, but unfortunately the goddess didn't seem to appreciate his sycophantic behavior.

She chuckled, glanced at the handsome and dashing Kakashi lying on the bed with a lazy look on his face, patted Obito on the shoulder and said, "Obito, you have to work hard. Look at Kakashi, he only has minor injuries and will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

"But you are seriously injured and will need to rest for a long time!"

"...I've never seen an idiot hug someone from behind and roll down the stairs..."

Kakashi stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted.

Given Obito's level of taijutsu, it would have been impossible for him to harm Kakashi in the slightest.

Although Kakashi is only six years old, his talent is absolutely top-notch.

Sakumo Hatake simply wrote down the methods of chakra extraction and training on a scroll and gave it to Kakashi, then handed him over to the Konoha Ninja Academy.

After all, Sakumo Hatake's wife was just an ordinary person and couldn't teach Kakashi much.

As a result, Kakashi, relying on his talent, managed to break through to the Genin level after studying chakra extraction for half a year.

At the same time, he even completed the ninja academy course directly, obtained a headband from the teachers' astonished gazes, and became a formal genin.

The news of a five-year-old genius genin even circulated in the village for a while, but Chiaki was unaware of it because he hadn't returned to Konoha yet.

Because of Kakashi's special status, and the fact that no one was there to guide him, he had to act alone and carry out missions on his own.

Although he was already a formal genin, Hiruzen Sarutobi still treated Kakashi like a child, just a student who could attend classes independently and move around the village at will.

To put it in simpler terms, those top students in the school who have already been admitted to key universities can choose their own actions.

Ok.
