Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 238 Thank you...

"So you went out for so long just to bring back a brat?"

Qing looked at Jianchuan Ju with a headache, feeling for the first time how unreliable her disciple was!

"Uh, no, it was just a coincidence!"

Tachibana Kanagawa herself was also quite embarrassed.

I'll definitely continue to go out and have fun. Although the front-line camp isn't an orphanage, it's not good to keep taking this kid who has no ability to protect himself with me all the time.

We have no choice but to bring Dou back here first.

After all, it would have been fine if we hadn't encountered him, but since we did, Kabuto is a very talented ninja, and this would also reduce the number of future big bosses, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to take him in.

"So what are you planning to do with this brat after bringing him back?"

Before Tachibana could answer Ao's words, Kabuto, standing to the side, tugged at Tachibana's sleeve and looked cautiously at his only support at the moment.

Jianchuan Ju sighed and rubbed the little guy's head, tentatively mentioning it to Qing.

"How about we leave Kabuto at the front-line camp? The little guy can't eat much."

After saying that, Tachibana Kenkawa seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate and quickly added something.

"I've tested it, and Kabuto's talent as a medical ninja is quite good. Perhaps we can let him learn and help out in the medical class."

As she spoke, Tachibana patted Kabuto on the back, and the little guy very sensibly began to form hand seals to perform ninjutsu. Although the speed was relatively slow, the hand seal movements were very standard.

Ao realized what kind of ninjutsu Kabuto was about to unleash, and although he was somewhat surprised, he did not interrupt him.

Once the hand seal was completed, a stream of clear water quickly formed in the little guy's palm, spinning into a crystal-clear water ring.

Seeing that Kabuto had successfully unleashed the "Water Flow Ring" technique, Tachibana was quite satisfied.

Both the Chakra Refining Technique and this move were taught to Kabuto by Tachibana Kenkawa on their way back.

Perhaps because Tachibana Kanagawa had used the "Water Ring" to heal Kabuto's injuries, the little guy studied very diligently, practicing repeatedly along the way, and was soon able to successfully release it.

Having just entered the ninja profession at the age of six, he was able to quickly master the Water Release healing ninjutsu, which is no less than the talent of Itachi Uchiha, who could learn the Great Fireball Technique with just one glance.

This is why Tachibana Kanagawa is even more certain that this little guy is "Kabuto".

Of course, what Tachibana Kenkawa said about going to help the medical team was all nonsense. After all, a medical ninja needs more than just the ability to cast a medical ninjutsu and heal wounds.

Knowing how to treat different types of wounds, what kind of treatment won't have the opposite effect, and more advanced knowledge of the human body and pharmacology—these are the foundations of a qualified medical ninja.

Tachibana Kenkawa only showed Kabuto the Water Flow Ring to Ao, just to let him know that the kid's talent was indeed quite good.

Besides

Qing coughed twice, looked at Jianchuan Ju speechlessly, and said.

"Alright, I got it. Now you can let go of my hand, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Kanagawa awkwardly withdrew his right hand, which was behind his pocket and used to transfer chakra to him.

The next moment, the water ring in Dou's hand could no longer maintain its shape, and the water shattered and scattered all over the ground.

The little guy looked at Jianchuan Ju with a somewhat bewildered expression, clearly afraid that his cheating would be exposed and have some negative consequences.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Qing didn't get any veins popping out or use her Byakugan, so how did she figure that out?"

Kabuto is only just beginning to refine chakra and is still young. Even if he has already learned the 'Water Ring' ninjutsu, how much chakra does he have left to use it?

However, Tachibana Kanakawa still offered a weak and unconvincing explanation in a low voice.

"The main problem is that there's no water available here. If there were enough clean water, I could have successfully cast the Water Flow Ring."

At this moment, Qing was too lazy to listen to Jianchuan Ju's words anymore, and simply waved his hand to shoo people away.

"Alright, alright, get lost. You vouch for this brat's identity yourself. Take him to the sealing squad for a check-up first, then you can make your own arrangements."

After thinking for a moment, Qing added.

"Don't even mention that you brought it back from the Land of Fire. Remind this brat too. And whenever you go back to the village, take it with you."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju immediately beamed with joy, and as if afraid that Qing would change his mind, she quickly took Dou and walked out of the tent.

It wasn't until the tent flap was lifted that Tachibana Kanakawa seemed to remember something and turned her head to speak.

"Teacher Qing, could I borrow Ming for a moment?"

"roll!"

Tachibana Kanagawa quickly lowered the tent flap, grabbed the still somewhat confused Mei Terumi, and hurriedly left the place.

Only Zabuza remained, still bewildered by what had happened, continuing to guard the entrance to the command tent with a head full of questions.

Given Jianchuan Ju's current status, vouching for a kid shouldn't be a big problem.

Although it's clear to everyone that Kirigakure has basically withdrawn from this great war, it is still a front-line camp.

Tachibana Kanagawa still needed to take Kabuto to the sealing team for a basic check to prevent spies from other villages from infiltrating the front-line camp.

Fortunately, the renowned "Windwing" was watching nearby, and the sealing team wouldn't be so foolish as to conduct any examination on Kabuto that would damage his body.

After the inspection was completed and the frontline commander gave his approval, Kabuto was temporarily granted the right to move around in the camp. Of course, it is estimated that for a considerable period of time, Kabuto will still be the focus of attention for the camp's guards.

As for inviting Mei Terumi...

Tachibana Kenkawa won't be staying at the camp for long, so she'll need to find someone to look after Kabuto a bit. There are some things that Ao-sensei can't do herself, but with Mei Terumi around, the little guy won't suffer any grievances.

Of course, Tachibana Kenkawa will also make arrangements with Minister Haruyu, Kisame Hoshigaki, and his subordinates.

Having gone this far, it seems that Tachibana Kanagawa has really gone to great lengths for this future ninja world boss.

Finally, he introduced Dou to a few acquaintances in the medical class and asked them to help teach him some basic knowledge.

The medical team members were happy to find something to do.

With no fighting on the front lines, aside from the occasional unlucky guy who gets injured during training, they're practically growing weeds from boredom. They'd be quite happy to have this kid come and learn, so they can "find some fun."

After all that work, Jianchuan Ju finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They then stayed at the front-line camp for two more days before setting off again to prepare for departure.

However, before leaving, Tachibana Kenkawa still had a few words with Kabuto alone.

After ruffling Kabuto's white hair once again, Tachibana Kanagawa smiled and took out an eyeglass case from her pocket, handing it to Kabuto.

This was a decorative white item that had been drawn from a regular pool before, and Tachibana Kanagawa had even adjusted the prescription of Kabuto's glasses specifically for his eyesight.

Seeing the little guy quietly staring blankly at the glasses case, Tachibana Kanagawa had no choice but to help open the case, take out a pair of rather unfashionable black-rimmed glasses, and put them on his face.

"How does it feel? Is it suitable?"

"While I'm not here, you should study medical ninjutsu diligently. When you have free time, you can also go to see Mei Terumi and learn some basic ninja skills from that eyebrowless brother."

"Alright, enough of the nonsense. You have great talent, you should cherish it."

After saying that, Tachibana patted Kabuto's head one last time, looked at his still blank expression, smiled, and turned to walk out of the resting tent.

Only when the curtain slowly fell, obscuring the departing figure of Tachibana Kanagawa, did two lines of tears stream down her face behind her glasses, and she murmured to herself.

"Thank you, thank you"
