Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 247 I want the eyes, and I want the reputation too!

Three or four days later, the Uchiha incident finally spread to a relatively large area of ​​Konoha Village, but most people were unaware of the news of the Uchiha rebellion.

What followed was—

The guard unit was reorganized.

On the bulletin board at the street corner, bright words were posted: thanks to Konoha's ninja education, even the common people in Konoha have an astonishingly high literacy rate.

and so.

Everyone was very happy when they saw the text above.

"So, does that mean the police force won't just consist of Uchiha clan members anymore?"

"Yes, and their duties are different, so the things they do will be quite different. The Konoha Guard will definitely improve."

"Can civilians join the security detail?"

The area around the bulletin board was in an uproar.

Guards.

In the past, they were always a thorn in everyone's side. In their eyes, these people's actions and laws were completely wrong, and the Uchiha clan became an object of everyone's hatred because of this.

And now.

Ordinary people can actually become members of Konoha's security force, and...

Even the allocation of squad leaders was made public.

"If that's the case, our lives will be much easier from now on!"

Everyone was secretly excited.

Clearly, they felt that the problem had previously been more with the Uchiha clan.

Nearby, some people who had transformed using the transformation technique were in a bad mood.

They are naturally from the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan members felt aggrieved. Although they were proud, they had always been conscientious in their duties as guards and tried their best to follow the rules and regulations.

however.

Dedicated and responsible...

This is the result.

Nobody likes them.

In the past, people could respond with "disdain," but the thought of having to work with outsiders in the future makes it hard for them to feel good about it.

"Let's go, we still have work to do when we get back!"

They left silently.

In the crowd, a boy jumped high with all his might. After a long time of not being able to see him, he looked at the girl next to him.

"How about you use magic to cushion my fall?"

"You can't get into the guard unit anyway..."

The girl complained speechlessly.

The boy replied, "We can take a look first, at least we'll have a goal."

"You really are..."

As the girl spoke, she formed a hand seal, and in an instant, red crystals grew from beneath the boy's feet, quickly stacking him on top of her.

The boy saw what was inside, jumped down, and said, "Let's go."

"Not watching anymore?"

"It doesn't mean anything."

He shook his head gently.

Guards.

Although he wielded considerable power, the work he was assigned there mainly involved trivial matters in the village, which were not what he was after at all.

He took a few steps forward and then suddenly stopped.

"By the way, what do you want to do after graduation? Become a ninja, or go back to the orphanage to help the director and the others?"

"Hmm... If we could go back to the hospital, that would be the best."

The girl answered.

But it feels so difficult!

Honglian looked at the crowd.

She knew from a young age that her abilities were invaluable.

The wandering ninja treasured her like a precious gem.

The village went through a lot of trouble to bring her back from outside, so it's unlikely they intended to keep her at home as a precious treasure.

She's definitely going to become a ninja.

"Kabuto, what about you?"

"I?"

Kabuto looked towards Konoha Hospital. "I want to become a great medical ninja, to research more medical ninjutsu and rare diseases, so that there will be fewer and fewer orphans!"

"Is that so?"

Honglian fell silent upon hearing this.

"Don't you think that's wrong?"

"Hmm... I feel that far fewer people die from disease than from war, so medicine probably can't truly... I'm sorry!"

Guren keenly sensed the change in Yakushi Kabuto's emotions.

But these were all her inner thoughts.

Kabuto shook his head: "It's nothing. You might be right, but..."

Kabuto looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

He had no memory of anything before the age of four, but he had a vague feeling that he might also be an orphan of the war.

"Go to school."

After walking a few steps, Yakushi Kabuto stopped at a spot on the street.

there……

There was a boy.

The table wasn't particularly luxurious, but its overall ambiance was quite extraordinary.

"Kabuto, what's wrong?"

Honglian followed the gaze, then her eyes lit up, "He's the adult who saved me!"

Yoshimine Kyohiko?

Kabuto took a deep breath.

Just looking at him from afar, he felt a sense of disparity, as if they were from different worlds, and he had a vague feeling that the other person was watching him.

Maybe it's just my imagination...

"Let's go."

He walked toward the orphanage.

however.

He hadn't walked far when he stopped and looked in that direction.

pace……

We're getting closer!

He immediately stopped and bowed: "My lord!"

"You're very perceptive; did you sense that I was observing you?"

Jingyan looked at the boy in front of him.

Yakushi Kabuto.

During the orphanage after the Battle of Kikyō Mountain, one child was found whose exact origin—whether from the Land of Fire or the Land of Wind—is now impossible to verify.

but.

He lost his memory and was later adopted by Yakushi Nonou. Under the policies of Tsunade and Kyohiko, he was able to attend school.

Now they are part of the Konoha Ninja Academy and Konoha Hospital.

In two more years, he will be able to graduate.

Kabuto is also a student that Kyohiko is closely observing!

After all, Kabuto Yakushi in his previous life displayed great talent and research ability, and such people are currently the most scarce in Konoha.

Upon hearing the question, Kabuto hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.

"I have a vague feeling that you are watching me."

"Your senses are very strong. I have been paying attention to your grades and performance. Your medical ninjutsu is quite good."

Kyohiko praised, "Are you interested in studying and attending classes at Konoha Hospital? With your age and grades, you're already qualified to go to Konoha Hospital."

"Is it really possible?"

The pharmacist's eyes widened several degrees.

No matter how composed or talented he is, without the training of the Root and countless brilliant missions, he is still just a child.

Faced with this unexpected surprise, he couldn't control his emotions.

Kyohiko smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can go back and discuss it with Nonou to decide whether you want to join Konoha Hospital."

"Yes, I will."

The pharmacist was overjoyed.

but.

He suddenly remembered what Honglian had said earlier, and a thought flashed through his mind, but then he hesitated.

Immediately afterwards, a bold idea came to Kabuto's mind.

Before he could even formulate his words, they had already spilled out.

"Lord Kyohiko, if I join Konoha Hospital, will I still have a chance to become your subordinate?"

"You want to become my subordinate?"

Jingyan smiled. "This is quite difficult."

"I will try my best!"

The pharmacist spoke with a firm tone.

Jingyan said, "Medical ninjas can not only heal the sick, but also kill people with medical ninjutsu. It all depends on how you use it. And this area is currently unexplored, so you can study it yourself."

"If I can figure this out, perhaps I will take you as my disciple."

Jingyan spoke earnestly.

Dou immediately nodded, his expression very serious and determined.

"Yes! I will definitely become your disciple!"

Yakushi Kabuto's face was full of surprise. He bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Kyohiko glanced at Guren, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then turned and left.

Kyohiko's main purpose in coming here was to see the feedback on the reorganization of the guard unit, and he only noticed Yakushi Kabuto incidentally.

but.

Since the other party had come up to him, he figured he might as well chat with them for a bit.

After Jingyan left, Honglian finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "How dare you! How could you suddenly make such a request?"

"I……"

The pharmacist scratched his head, unable to answer for a moment.

He couldn't explain it either.

But at that moment, a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of my heart, and in a moment of impulsiveness, I blurted it out.

Looking back, he was also covered in a cold sweat.

but.

The results were very encouraging!

Kabuto thought about it carefully, then looked at Guren and said, "This lord must have overheard our conversation, which is why he gave me those instructions."

"Your hearing is that good?"

As Honglian spoke, she immediately lowered her voice.

With such good hearing, they could probably hear things even from a great distance...

The pharmacist's eyes were shining.

Research on medical ninjutsu for combat!

This direction is equivalent to the "task" left to him by Kyohiko; as long as he can complete it, he can become Kyohiko's disciple.

"I can do it!"

"You can go back now. I suddenly thought of a question and I'd like to ask my teacher about it when I get back to school."

Kabuto suddenly changed his mind and then instantly ran towards the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Honglian called out, then shook her head helplessly and walked towards the orphanage first.

Although she was not an orphan, she lived there because her mother, Mami, worked at the orphanage.

That's how I became acquainted with Kabuto.

After all, there aren't many children with ninja talent in the orphanage, and Kabuto Yakushi and Guren are the only promising ones at the moment.

……

Outside the flower shop on Mingcha Street.

Jingyan pushed open the door and entered.

"Welcome! Oh, Kyohiko, what brings you here?"

Yuzuki's eyes lit up. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, I've come to ask you and Aunt Liye some more professional knowledge, related to flowers."

Jingyan explained.

The birth of the Flower Tree Kingdom could cause unconsciousness through pollen, which suddenly made him realize that pollen might have more than one use, for example—

Psychedelic, hypnotic, or other similar effects.

Just as resin gives rise to the art of amber.

With further research and development, it may be possible to grasp an even wider range of pollen capabilities.

Kyohiko came for this reason.

After hearing Kyohiko's request, Yamanaka Rino looked completely bewildered.

She was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's true that the Yamanaka family studies flowers, but they mostly use them to sell flowers; they don't have much in-depth research on these things. Perhaps the Nara family knows more."

"Nara clan?"

Jingyan pondered for a moment, then nodded.

indeed.

The Nara clan is an expert in pharmacology, and they might even know more about it than the Yamanaka clan.

He got up to leave.

Yuzuki Uzumaki said, "I know there's a flower in Uzumaki Village that seems to have hallucinogenic effects. We used to use it in medical support, but I don't know if it's still there now."

"Wochao Village?"

Jingyan pondered for a moment.

Death mask, flowers.

That place is definitely worth a visit!

He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand. I'll go to the Nara clan first. If I need to go back later... would you like to go back and visit them?"

Yuzuki was stunned for a moment.

Then, she nodded calmly: "If I can go, that would be great, but it's okay if I can't."

Yuzuki has relatively let go of her feelings about Uzushio Village.

She was quite composed.

We should live for the present, not dwell on the past.

"it is good."

Jingyan then vanished in an instant.

The Nara clan provided several types of flowers for reference. After expressing his gratitude, Kyohiko returned to Orochimaru's research institute with the fresh flowerpots.

After sending himself along with the Flying Thunder God Technique, Orochimaru remained expressionless and didn't even turn his head.

"Kyohiko-kun, this isn't a garbage dump..."

"These are all very valuable materials, and we need to combine them with the materials on your side for research."

Jingyan coughed lightly to explain.

Orochimaru turned around.

Although he didn't speak, his eyes conveyed a message like "You better be telling the truth."

"I'm thinking about whether it's possible to develop more practical Wood Release ninjutsu using less chakra, such as simulating pollen with hallucinogenic effects..."

Jingyan explained his research direction.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then said, "Psychedelic pollen?"

"Yes, unlike ordinary illusions, these drugs are more difficult to overcome, and in some situations they may even be more useful."

Jingyan added.

Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

This research is indeed quite valuable.

He watched as Kyohiko threw down a wooden clone and prepared to leave, when he suddenly called out to him.

"By the way, could we perhaps investigate the Uchiha's Sharingan?"

Orochimaru's eyes were filled with fanaticism.

The fusion of leukocytes can produce a variety of changes.

He was so curious about those eyes!

Jingyan thought for a moment and said, "I have to go ask..."

"Tch, how could Fugaku possibly agree to let you do experiments?"

Orochimaru was speechless.

ask?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?!

Jingyan shook his head: "It definitely wouldn't have worked before, but it might not work now. Besides, even if we don't do the experiment, I'll definitely have to discuss it with him first."

"What is it?"

"The Sharingan must be sealed or destroyed, otherwise, given the opponent's ability to infiltrate, they might be able to take the Sharingan from the corpse right under our noses."

"Kyohiko said."

"You mean, Madara's subordinates?"

"The price of Izanagi..."

Jingyan reminded him.

Orochimaru understood.

Izanagi came at the cost of losing one eye, so having more Sharingan eyes means having more possibilities for recovery.

From this perspective, it is indeed possible that Madara would do such a thing.

but.

The next moment, he smiled and said, "We can do that too!"

"You want to just go and take the eyes?"

Jingyan understood what the other person meant.

Orochimaru nodded: "We can also frame them!"

"no."

Jingyan shook his head in rejection.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Kyohiko, you're getting more and more pedantic!"

"No, this is not being old-fashioned, but rather about following basic rules. Otherwise, while we could secretly take the Sharingan, once it's exposed, the entire village's reputation will be damaged."

Jingyan replied seriously, "If we want to expand the village, we have to consider this aspect!"

"That……"

"Don't worry, he'll come. We'll take it then!"

Jingyan gave a cold laugh.

Black Zetsu is undetectable to him and can come and go in Konoha almost without hindrance, but can Black Zetsu guarantee that he won't be noticed when he takes something?

He simply couldn't believe that Black Zetsu and Madara didn't need the Sharingan!

This is also why he hasn't killed the people in the Dark Guard prison yet—

After their execution, these people would be buried in the cemetery.

The more you go in, the greater the chance of being robbed!

Let's keep it for now, and only act when Jue makes his move.
