Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 207 Return and Re-investigation

After Yuya returned home that evening, he talked to Tsunade about the Yamato Squad.

It was only then that Tsunade realized that the girl from the daytime was actually from another world.

This piqued her interest.

However, Yua and the Yamato Squad didn't actually have much contact.

Yuya's idea was to let the team experience all aspects of reality in the village during this month and gather as much intelligence as possible. This way, when they returned, they would inevitably report the situation of the village to the Hokage of their world.

No matter who sits in this position, they cannot ignore such an important piece of information.

Moreover, even without embellishment, Yuya is confident that he can do a better job than the Hokage from another world if he simply reports the situation of the village truthfully.

All the Hokage of Konoha have had one common flaw.

That is, if there is a possibility to make the village better, they will not hesitate for a second and will immediately take action.

As for Sakura, Yua really didn't expect that she would be the first to find her place.

Although Naruto caught a chill after being outside all day, Fugaku took him to the hospital and bought him some cold medicine...

However, since Tsunade seems somewhat interested in Sakura, Yua doesn't mind if Tsunade tries to get to know Sakura.

By the way...

Yuya could also have Tsunade demonstrate her skills to Sakura, and then have Sakura bring back the medical standards of this world.

It's not that the medical level in this world is necessarily higher than that in another world, but when it comes to medical communication, the fact that there is an opportunity for exchange means that the communication has value.

……

The next day, when Tsunade went to the hospital, she saw Sakura running down the corridor carrying a bunch of medical records.

This made her abandon her plan to find Sakura for the time being.

Without a doubt, all interns in the hospital start by doing menial tasks.

However, this does not mean that you can't learn anything while doing odd jobs.

Strictly speaking, the medical record is a very important part because it clearly records the patient's symptoms and various symptoms. If you are careful, you can remember what the symptoms are for the corresponding illness.

That's enough for interns to learn for a while.

Today, when Fugaku Uchiha found Yamato again, Yamato had already made contact with Konoha's Bridge and Railroad Department.

Wood Release is extremely useful for building bridges and railways.

However, before the emergence of Wood Release ninjas, they could only cut down a large tree from a distant place or use local materials to build bridges or railway tracks.

Now that we have Yamato, things are much more convenient.

When Fugaku came over, Yamato Masaki was very excited.

During their lunch break, Fugaku and Yamato chatted while eating.

After all, it was Uchiha Fugaku who brought them here, so Yua's task for Fugaku was to observe Yamato's every move while he was in Konoha and then summarize it for Yua.

Call it surveillance or whatever, but Yua can't possibly let the Yamato squad wander around Konoha without any burdens.

In reality, while Fugaku Uchiha was outwardly present, the Anbu (Anbu) had been secretly monitoring him for some time.

However, the results of the surveillance seem to be somewhat...

Surprisingly.

Yuya looked at the intelligence gathered by the Anbu about a certain Sarutobi son who offered ten million yen to make a paper doll move, but was now being beaten up by his family. He fell into deep thought.

It's not that I'm thinking about anything else, it's mainly...

This brat actually reminded Youya of something...

Super Beast Imitation Drawing is a ninjutsu...

Isn't it the strongest support ninjutsu in the anime?

The animation industry in Konoha Village has never really developed. Besides Yua being too busy to produce those classic animations, another reason is the cost.

This cost isn't about the amount of money, but rather the time cost.

In the time it takes to draw a picture, Youya could do many other things.

If Konoha had the Super Beast Imitation Drawing ninjutsu, its animation industry would definitely take a big leap forward.

pity……

There's only one month left...

Ok……

Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi's son has truly become famous this time.

Although it's not a good reputation.

……

Hiruzen Sarutobi's house:

Four-year-old Sarutobi Asuma clung to his mother Sarutobi Biwako's leg, trembling.

Meanwhile, his usually gentle mother, Sarutobi Biwako, watched with a frosty expression as Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out his belt and whipped Sarutobi Shinnosuke's buttocks.

She would occasionally roar, "Are you done hitting him?! Give me the stuff! It's my turn to hit him! Hiruzen Sarutobi! Look what you've done to your son because of your character!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little angry: "What did I do?"

"You dare talk back?! It's because you, as his father, haven't set a good example that Shinnosuke is behaving badly at such a young age! You've brought shame to the whole village!"

Sarutobi Asuma trembled; a storm was brewing in his house today…

I hope I won't get involved...

……

Of course, Sai ultimately did not receive his ten million taels, because children are not entitled to make decisions about their family's money.

Because they found life in the Uchiha clan's territory extremely uncomfortable, the Yamato squad left the Uchiha clan's territory and came to the inner city of Konoha.

Naruto was eventually taken to the lab, but he wasn't pushed to the limit. He was simply given twenty clones, and one person was used as twenty people, doing odd jobs. But it was precisely because of this that Naruto saw many novel things.

For example, various research projects that are progressing towards 3G.

There are also various ways to expand memory.

Mobile phones with buttons, MP4 players with a small screen, and so on...

As for Sai, he ultimately did not look for a job, but instead used his abilities to begin traveling through Konoha.

Use your paintbrush to record what you see and hear.

Today he came to Hokage Rock. Standing on the hill behind Hokage Rock, looking at the buildings that were even taller than the Hokage statue, Sai picked up his paintbrush.

……

A week later, Tsunade was able to speak with Sakura again.

It was a night when two villagers from Konoha got into a fight because of a major case. One of them pulled out a knife and stabbed the other thirteen times.

Theoretically, this condition can be treated with hyperregeneration.

The key point is that it was later discovered that the patient also had early-stage cancer.

Using super-rapid regeneration in such situations would only accelerate the evolution of cancer. What could have been a treatable early-stage cancer could instead proliferate rapidly to an advanced stage.

Therefore, surgery was the only option.

It is well known that some cases that occur in hospitals with extremely low probability can form the basis for a doctor's research paper.

Tsunade doesn't need to write a paper, but she thinks it's a good opportunity to teach the hospital's doctors.

And being a teacher who believes in educating everyone without discrimination, she didn't intend to keep anything to herself, so she allowed the interns to sit in on the classes as well.

It was against this backdrop that she noticed the thick notebook in Sakura's hand, which was already filled with dense writing.

After the surgery, Tsunade became interested, since she now knew that Sakura was from another universe.

This means that this thick notebook was filled with notes written by Sakura over the past week.

Tsunade then started chatting with Sakura.

Sakura says that her world focuses more on treating patients with ninjutsu, but this world seems to focus more on treating patients through a way that ordinary people can become doctors by learning.

It's not easy to simply say who's better or worse. Sakura thinks that if her teacher were here, she would definitely have a lot in common with Tsunade.

Tsunade was delighted and chatted with her for a while before realizing that this girl was actually a very serious one.

Her talent wasn't particularly outstanding, but she had a serious work ethic.

With that kind of drive, you learn things very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month has quietly passed.

When Yuya smiled and called the Yamato team to his office, he said that Orochimaru had sent a message that the space in the ancient Loulan had stabilized and they could go back.

For some reason, the members of the Yamato Squad felt a little reluctant to part ways.

……

A group of researchers held Naruto's hands, their eyes filled with tears.

"Naruto, take good care of yourself when you get back!"

"Waaah, if you're not happy going back, just come back! We'll always welcome you!"

A group of researchers spoke with such deep emotion that Naruto was deeply moved.

Actually, they were just thinking that after Naruto went back, they would have to sweep the floor, take out the trash, clean the test tubes, and find information themselves... That's why they were so sad.

The perfect candidate for odd jobs is gone. Besides Naruto, where can they find another ninja who is proficient in shadow clones and only needs to earn a few hundred thousand ryo a month to do the work?

Although Naruto has been busy like a dog for the past month, it has only been a month, which is not a long time. Now that he has to leave, he is really reluctant to part with him.

However, if you actually make him do this job for the rest of his life, Naruto will definitely curse you out.

It can only be said that a short time together is the key to leaving a lasting impression.

Yamato also parted ways with his colleagues. Tsunade gave Sakura the beginner and intermediate surgical manuals, and also gave her the advanced medical surgical manual that she was still compiling, which was already more than half completed.

She didn't expect Sakura to learn it so quickly, but it would be nice to pass the booklet on to another version of herself through Sakura.

The two sides can communicate remotely.

Sai has already drawn a scroll depicting everything he has seen and heard over the past month.

In fact, what Yuya was most looking forward to were Sai's paintings.

Although they have cameras and similar equipment here, these things are ultimately quite expensive. Sai doesn't have the money, and Yuya can't just give them cameras and video cameras for free. They should just find their own way to record things.

Furthermore, Youya couldn't guarantee whether these things could be brought through the spatial passage.

Besides, it's not like we're incapable of recording.

Without a doubt, Sai was the best person to take notes.

……

Although Orochimaru is terrifying, the Orochimaru in this world isn't much better.

However, Yamato and Fugaku also talked about Orochimaru during this month.

Yamato wasn't surprised at all when he learned that Orochimaru had been expelled from Konoha by Yua because of his human experimentation.

What truly surprised him was that, immediately after being expelled from Konoha by Yua, Yua turned around and invested in building a biological laboratory for him.

Ah, so you could only do it secretly in Konoha, but now you're doing it openly, right?

However, if you calculate it carefully, even if Orochimaru used one test subject every day, he would only need a little over three hundred people a year.

In reality, biological research cannot consume a person's life so quickly, even in a single day.

If a person uses a little, it's not difficult to use it for a month or two.

And without a doubt, there are still many unforgivable ninjas and villains in the ninja world.

Orochimaru used it without any qualms, and Yua gave the list to Orochimaru without any qualms either.

Basically, Orochimaru now makes his own demands, and Yua sends the Anbu to find the relevant villains. If they find them, they capture the easy ones and send them over. If they are difficult, like Orochimaru, he is very interested in Kakuzu because the information he has gathered about the Land of Waterfall shows that Kakuzu stole a forbidden technique called Jigan-gumi from the Land of Waterfall.

It is said that this forbidden technique can grant immortality.

Orochimaru perked up immediately upon hearing this: "If you say that, then I won't be sleepy anymore!"

However, Kakuzu is quite strong, and he had been hunted by Konoha's Anbu before, so he was already a nervous wreck and difficult to capture. It's better to let Orochimaru figure it out himself.

Orochimaru really can't rely on Yua for everything.

To be honest, in addition to the fixed budget of one billion taels of silver every year, Youya has been making additional investments, which is already a huge support.

Therefore, although Orochimaru in this world is gloomy and also a pervert, he is not stupid. He knows that if he were to sever ties with Yua, he would have no source of funding. Even the other five great nations would not be able to support a deficit of one billion yen every year.

Therefore, Orochimaru could not possibly disobey Yua's orders.

not to mention……

He was indeed somewhat curious about another universe.

Yamato, along with Naruto and the other two, quickly slipped away carrying large and small bags.

Although this Orochimaru in the universe seems easy to talk to, he is still Orochimaru after all.

What if this pervert suddenly says: "Don't leave, stay and be my test subjects."

Yamato doesn't know where to go to cry.

So let's hurry up and get out of here.

……

After the familiar shifts between darkness and light, Yamato, carrying a large bundle on his back, breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the familiar desert landscape.

"You're back. Let's go. Hurry back and report to the Hokage."

……

Skipping over the details of the journey, when Yamato returned to Konoha Village, he immediately went to report to Tsunade.

Tsunade, on the other hand, immediately asked about the mission's objective.

Sakura secretly began making comparisons behind Yamato's back.

Well, her teacher is much more mature than the other her—high emotional intelligence: much more mature, low emotional intelligence: older—this maturity isn't reflected in appearance. Actually, in terms of appearance, both have the power of a hundred healers, and Yua's wife Tsunade, judging from appearance alone, is only about ten years younger than this Tsunade, not much difference.

Moreover, their personalities are even more different.

Hokage Tsunade always had a serious expression, while the other Tsunade...

Sakura recalled her serious expression at the hospital, which was similar, but things were completely different after get off work. She was even invited to her home for dinner, but because she had a lot to learn, Sakura wanted to make the most of her time to memorize what she could, so she declined.

Sakura always felt that the other Tsunade had a certain quality that her teacher possessed, a kind of warmth and elder-like feeling...

She had never felt that way with her teacher.

That's normal, though. I heard that Tsunade, the head of the department, already has two children. Heaven knows how shocked Sakura was when she first heard the news.

Having children is bad enough, but having two?

Unfortunately, the time was too short and we didn't have a chance to meet.

"...Sakura? Sakura?"

Naruto nudged Sakura's waist.

Sakura immediately raised her fist.

Naruto instantly covered his head and crouched down defensively: "Grandma Tsunade is asking you a question! Why are you taking your distraction out on me?!"

Sakura was taken aback, then looked up with an embarrassed expression.

Hokage Tsunade waved her hand dismissively: "It's normal to feel a little out of place after just returning from another world."

I only heard from them that you brought back some information from another world?

Before Hokage Tsunade were scrolls, all drawn by Sai in the style of Konoha from another world.

To put it simply, Tsunade only glanced at it casually, yet that was enough to make a judgment.

If that other world is really like the one depicted in the painting, then their prosperity is at least two levels higher than that of Konoha under their rule.

At least……

Hokage Tsunade clenched her fist. Theoretically, it was impossible for Konoha Village, under her control, to demolish and rebuild all the residential buildings.

That involves too many aspects.

Unless someone comes and destroys Konoha completely, she will not have a reason to rebuild it.

There's absolutely no need for that, and besides...

How could anyone possibly have the ability to destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village...?

However, what truly interested Tsunade was not the content of the painting.

Instead, she heard that Sakura had brought a lot of information from another world.

Moreover, it's medical information.

Sakura responded and immediately began rummaging through her backpack.

Then he took out three booklets and handed them to Tsunade.

Tsunade was very satisfied. What she liked most about Sakura was the girl's focus.

Although I know that she may have become like this because of Sasuke's influence.

But now there's no need to dwell on what happened.

In some ways, Tsunade and Yua have something in common: their main focus is on having usable subordinates, and they don't care about the details.

Yamato concluded: "Although we were away for a month, I witnessed the rogue ninja Centipede being cut in two by a Jonin from another world."

This mission can be considered a perfect success.

Hokage Tsunade looked up at Yamato with a puzzled expression: "A month? What nonsense are you talking about? You've only been gone for less than a week."

Yamato was immediately shocked, his mouth agape.

……

Well, after all, they are different worlds, so it's normal for the flow of time to be different.

Tsunade didn't investigate further.

After letting Yamato leave, Tsunade sat in the Hokage's seat and rubbed her temples.

Another world... my own self...?

Tsunade had actually been wanting to ask about the Tsunade from that world—how was her brother doing… and how were her family members…

But a voice deep inside her told her that even if she were still alive, it was another world...

It has nothing to do with her.

only……

In the end, I still care...

Hokage Tsunade sighed and opened the basic medical surgery manual in her hand to read it.

As he looked on, a look of surprise appeared on his previously calm face.

The look of surprise on his face deepened when he picked up the intermediate booklet.

When she opened the advanced booklet, she only needed to glance at the structural diagrams of human organs, muscle tissue, and various parts of the body to know what Naruto Tsunade knew.

Leaving aside other aspects of that other world...

In terms of medicine, it's much more advanced than what she has here.

Because it's so comprehensive!

It's almost like... dissecting a person down to the cellular level to explain the structure of their body.

And in her world, there are indeed people who can do this, but...

She would never let that person give her the relevant information, because that person's name is Orochimaru.

Hokage Tsunade gritted her teeth. People from that other world... don't they object to human experimentation?

After thinking for a long time, she gave an order to the secret service.

A week later, she was wearing wooden clogs, her face painted with face paint, and her long white hair was disheveled and loose.

"Tsunade, even though you've become the Fifth Hokage, don't be so carefree..."

"I just found crucial information about the leader of the Akatsuki."

With a slight grin, Jiraiya, dressed in a loose kimono, smiled at Tsunade: "Why did you call me back in such a hurry... Is there something more important than investigating the Akatsuki?"

Hokage Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and gave a cold snort, "You said it yourself, it's just an investigation."

Even if the Akatsuki are dangerous, can they really attack Konoha? If this situation isn't handled properly...

If the cause cannot be found...

Konoha is in real danger.

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
