The girl's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She hurriedly used the menu to cover her hot cheeks, but she couldn't hide the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
My inner Sakura was doing somersaults. Great! I declare that time and space canon!
……
Konoha Hospital's special ward.
The smell of disinfectant filled the ward. Jingyin injected the last nutrient solution into the IV bottle and looked up at the data jumping on the monitor.
"You're being too reckless." She finally couldn't help but speak, stabbing the medical record book with her fingers. "It has already been reported to the Hokage, so just let the Anbu handle it. Your physical condition is simply not suitable for carrying out the mission."
She slammed the syringe into the tray with a resounding clang. Shizune continued angrily, "If you vomit blood again because you refuse to cooperate with treatment, Lady Tsunade might not save you!"
Itachi leaned against the headboard, an apologetic smile on his pale face: "Sorry. I couldn't help it when I saw it was Sasuke."
Shizune paused.
She had also heard a little about the Uchiha family's affairs. Although she was not good at fighting as a disciple of Tsunade, she actually had a very high authority in Konoha.
The person in front of me embodies the three major pain points of women: beauty, strength and tragedy.
How could Shizune not be moved at such a young age? The only reason she could remain calm was due to her years of single practice with Tsunade - plus she was indeed a little older.
It would be embarrassing to learn from those girls in medical classes.
"Hmph, that's a good thing." Her tone softened a bit, and she pressed the thermometer into Itachi's hand. "Now that you've earned the forgiveness of your future brother, you should take better care of your body."
Itachi nodded obediently, his black hair falling around his pale face. The lines on the monitor rose and fell steadily with his breathing.
Shizune breathed a sigh of relief and turned to sort out the medicine cabinet. What she feared most were these gifted yet desperate patients—especially when they had such a cruel face that made it hard to be cruel to them.
To put it bluntly, heroes have loved beauties since ancient times, and heroines are also heroes.
"Miss Shizune." Itachi suddenly spoke, his voice soft but firm, "Could you help me look up some information? It's about cases of ninjas with harmonious family relationships."
Shizune hadn't answered yet.
Itachi continued: "Perhaps you have heard my story. I have committed many sins, but I hope Sasuke..."
He is such a good brother, not only caring about his current brother, but also caring about his future brother. Obviously, he is not even as old as the future Sasuke.
"Okay." Jingyin agreed.
Itachi changed the subject: "Also, is there any way to restore my combat effectiveness as quickly as possible?"
"Absolutely not!" Jingyin refused flatly, slamming the medical record book in her hand shut.
The answer is not 'no' but 'no', which means yes.
"Shizune. You're the only one I can ask for help right now."
"please."
Itachi didn't say anything else, just looked at her quietly with his dark eyes, with a hint of pleading in them.
Shizune shook her head and said, "No, no, even though you're feeling much better now, a large dose will definitely have side effects. Lady Tsunade will definitely scold me."
"I have something I must do," Itachi said slowly. "While the plow is still there."
Plow? You wouldn't...
"I want to go back to the past, even to a parallel universe, and try to stop my past self once."
Such a sad look, even a dog would cry. Jingyin, calm down! You are not a little girl!
Shizune gritted her teeth and compromised: "I'll think of a way!"
I was born before you, and you were born when I was already old.
She slammed the door and left angrily.
Chapter 135 Konoha Shinsengumi
A mysterious group in the subspace.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi: "@Third Hokage, I'll leave the swordsmen here to you."
Don't worry, I'm here. Who are they?
"Except for the sound column, everyone is gone."
Hey, so many people?
Is Orochimaru so fierce when kidnapping people?
"...It's hard for me to describe the scene of him interviewing the Pillar-level swordsmen one by one the night before he left."
Obviously, Yuanyi on the other side was in a very complicated mood at the moment.
"He has different things to say to each person, different empathy, and different regrets... Xiaotan obviously wanted to go home and burn charcoal... But in the end, when he saw Kyojuro and Giyuu decided to go, he impulsively signed up too. If he signed up, Nezuko would definitely go."
"Nezuko is going, and Zenitsu is going too. If all the friends are going, a pig might as well go."
Don't worry, Yoriichi, even if you join Konoha, you still have holidays every year. If you want to go back to see your family and friends, I'll open the door for them to go back.
"Yes, yes, that's what Orochimaru and the others said. Third generation, Orochimaru must have inherited your true teachings, right?"
...This...My favorite disciple is really Jiraiya.
Don't worry. I will arrange suitable jobs for those pillars.
……
Orochimaru has returned.
Reporting in the Hokage's office.
"What? Otsutsuki, I want to go too." Upon hearing the arrangement that he would stay behind, Orochimaru immediately objected. "Shikaku can handle the daily affairs independently."
Who wouldn't want to see rare aliens?
Besides, when it comes to poison, how can toad venom compare to snake venom?
"No, Konoha headquarters must ensure there are enough combat forces." Sarutobi Hiruzen, smoking his pipe, rejected Orochimaru's request for a fight. "And you have to help the Demon Slayer swordsmen get familiar with Konoha."
"Tsk." Orochimaru asked dissatisfiedly. "It's perfectly fine to let others do this kind of thing. Sensei, you are the Hokage, you should stay in Konoha and take charge."
Anyway, I won’t take you with me.
The lava monkey crawled out from his shoulder and said, "The group is full. Please apply earlier next time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the little monkey on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Let me introduce you, this is the Four-Tails Son Goku, my new partner. After all, he is an Otsutsuki, so it will be safer for Goku and I to take action."
What? I've been away on business for a while, and the old man has updated his configuration again? No wonder he doesn't want to take me with him. His combat power is overflowing, right?
Is it really that easy to be a perfect Jinchūriki? I want to be one too.
Orochimaru looked at Goku with an inquiring look and asked, "How did you do that?"
The lava monkey smiled smugly: "The fate between monkeys, Orochimaru, you will never understand."
Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a smoke ring and said proudly to his disciple: "The original function of chakra is to make people understand each other. It just so happens that Goku and I can understand each other."
The lava monkey shook his head, "Orochimaru, you still have a lot to learn."
After finishing this act, Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and bumped fists with the little monkey on his shoulder.
This jumping picture made Orochimaru look complicated and difficult to comment on.
Forget it, let's finish the things at hand and then focus on how to become the perfect Jinchūriki.
He sighed and said, "Let's find a way to bring back Otsutsuki's body. If we have to face these alien invaders again in the future, we must try our best to obtain information about them."
Talking about business, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Well, if there's a chance, try your best."
The decision to stay in Konoha had been made, so Orochimaru reluctantly asked the next question: "Have any arrangements been made in advance for these Demon Slayer Corps members?"
Orochimaru began to explain the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps.
In the end, except for the stubborn Sound Column who had a family, everyone else was moved by his sincerity.
In a world without demons, it would be a shame to leave all his honed sword skills useless. Add to that the terrifying curse seals on his body, and he'd be completely out of place among ordinary people. It would be better to go to the ninja world and help Konoha. On the one hand, it would give him another job, and on the other hand, it would be a way of repaying his debt.
The Rock Pillar, who could sense the danger posed by Orochimaru, was worried when he saw that the others trusted Orochimaru too much, so he followed him - even though the immortal Yunichi had already guaranteed Konoha's reliability.
At this point, Orochimaru sighed: "This Xingming still has some misunderstandings about me, but after he and I get along for a long time, he will definitely recognize me."
What this means is that even this Xing Ming has to be under his command.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Lava Monkey looked at each other and thought about how to arrange things for this group of Demon Slayer elites.
These people are all talented. Their combat power is between special jonin and elite jonin, and they are the backbone of any village.
However, Orochimaru's current position is the director of the research institute and professor of Ninjutsu High School.
It’s definitely not a good idea to let this group of swordsmen do research. They can’t be sent to the research institute to be security guards.
If they were incorporated into the ranks of active ninjas, on the one hand, it would be difficult for outsiders to cooperate with the local ninjas - on the other hand, Orochimaru would have brought them in vain, which would have greatly dampened their enthusiasm for work.
Uchiha Itachi was already a phoenix hunk after going on a mission. Although Orochimaru's mission this time is less difficult, he cannot not give him a reward.
Think again and again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen puffed on his pipe and said, "Ever since the Uchiha incident, the work of the Security Department has been taken over by the Anbu."
The lava monkey immediately understood and continued, "It's time to rebuild this unit."
The Security Department is the police.
For a place called a village but actually a city, it is not a bad idea for the elite army and the secret service of the Jinyiwei to also serve as the security team.
It is better for the security team to handle general incidents.
Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly said: "Orochimaru, rebuild the security department."
In the smoke-filled office, Orochimaru's golden pupils shrank slightly, and he said in surprise, "Let me rebuild the security department?"
This is a pleasant surprise. It seems that after this mission, I have indeed regained trust.
The work of the guard team is a pitfall for Uchiha, but not for others.
He was promoted and became the regent, just like a prince.
At this time, Lava Monkey added: "The name of the Guard is a bit bad, let's change it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed up his Hokage hat and said, "Let's call it the Shinsengumi."
The lava monkey jumped onto the desk and began writing the appointment letter, nodding repeatedly and praising, "Suitable."
After finishing writing, the lava monkey stamped the Hokage seal on it and handed it to Orochimaru solemnly, saying, "Keep going, I'm rooting for you."
After saying that, the lava monkey jumped up and patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, and said in a condescending tone: "I think you have the potential to be a Hokage."
Orochimaru was speechless and was about to leave with the appointment scroll.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the back of his disciple and felt a lot of emotion.
The Sandaime's voice suddenly softened as he said, "Orochimaru, you really are like me. You are indeed my favorite disciple. It's such a pity that I was so young back then."
If he hadn't hung out with Danzo back then, Minato might have had to wait until the fifth generation.
Orochimaru paused at the doorway, the silk scroll dangling from his hand. Without turning around, he simply replied, "Don't be silly. Sensei, your favorite disciple is Jiraiya."
The light in the corridor stretched his shadow very long, and it gradually overlapped with the figure of the young man in white in his memory.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the empty doorway and said, "Goku, I think Orochimaru's will of fire is really burning again."
The lava monkey picked a peach from the pile of snacks, took a big bite, and replied vaguely: "Hokage, aren't you treating him like the King of Han?"
"What are you talking about? Everyone has a chance. I haven't appointed a crown prince yet."
Chapter 136 Another order comes.
Konoha Hospital.
Sunlight shone diagonally into the corridor through the glass windows, gilding the pristine white walls with a faint golden hue. The Demon Slayers, freshly examined, sat in groups of three or four on the benches, the air thick with the scent of disinfectant and a faint floral touch.
The Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai and the Kabutomaru wrapped around his neck were both vigilantly observing the passing ninjas, while the passing ninjas were also paying attention to him and talking at the same time. "It's obvious that this is Lord Orochimaru's subordinate."
Especially the medical ninja with the round glasses, who actually commented, "Another Orochimaru-sama imitator."
Beimingyu Xingming quietly twisted his Buddhist beads, waiting for the next arrangement.
"Wow! Something you only find in big cities!" Kanroji Mitsuri practically clung to the vending machine, her cherry-pink hair bouncing up and down as she jumped. She pulled out her coins, following the instructions on the diagram, and inserted them one by one, holding her breath nervously with each drop.
