Chapter 151: Another Prey, Yugao
"Lord Third Hokage, these are my observations from my trip to Sunagakure." Kiyoshi revealed everything.
He only concealed the small part that he himself had done.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen first heard it, he thought Kiyoshi was just talking nonsense.
This matter was too unbelievable.
Internal strife in Sunagakure, and Chiyo's grandson actually attacked the Third Kazekage?
When he looked at Tsunade, Tsunade repeated the account, telling the same story as Kiyoshi.
This made his heart sink to the bottom. Tsunade was not one to joke.
Moreover, the ninjas stationed on the border did indeed send back information about Sunagakure attacking Tsunade.
"Kiyoshi, you did very well this time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen suppressed his worries about the future and first encouraged Kiyoshi's will of fire type behavior.
Back then, he was the first to step forward to cover the retreat, which led to the Second Hokage appointing him as the Third Hokage.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, this was a sign that Kiyoshi was assimilating into the village. He might very well be the second Uchiha Kagami.
"These are things I should do." Kiyoshi said.
If he didn't cover the retreat, how could he get the improvement of his pupil power and sealing techniques?
Sarutobi Hiruzen then praised the others as well. Only then did he let them go back to collect their rewards.
"Summon the Hokage advisors."
After the others left, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and slowly began to smoke.
"Yes."
An Anbu suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office, and then suddenly disappeared.
...
'The Land of Lightning... They will seize this opportunity, right?'
Leaving the Hokage Building, Kiyoshi, walking on the streets of Konoha, pondered.
His old home was a military expansionist.
The best evidence was when they had infiltrated Konoha and tried to abduct Kushina.
And then there's the Magnet Release ninja, Toroi.
The Land of Lightning doesn't have such a Kekkei genkai, but Toroi belongs to Kumogakure, which is very intriguing.
Not to mention that the Land of Lightning also possesses various other Kekkei genkais.
Compared to other countries, the overall at style of the Land of Lightning is different.
"You kids chat slowly, I'm leaving."
Tsunade counted her banknotes as she walked in the other direction.
Should she use the newly obtained reward to buy wine or go to the casino?
Shizune had said that it seemed like the seasonings at home were finished.
"It's decided, I'll go to the casino first and win some money!"
Tsunade made a happy decision, her plump figure soon leaving only a green back view for Kiyoshi and the others.
The huge "Gamble" character was faintly visible, fluttering behind Tsunade.
"Ninja school has started again recently."
The three passed by the gate of ninja school and found a bunch of children coming out from inside.
Kurenai was quite emotional. Unconsciously, it had been a long time since she had graduated. She could already be considered their senior.
"It's been so long after all."
Asuma looked at the figures inside and couldn't help but shake his head.
None of these kids have as good a spirit as him. There's even a sickly fellow inside.
Kiyoshi glanced around a few times and actually spotted a few familiar figures.
That was Uzuki Yugao and Gekko Hayate.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Hayate kept coughing. He forgot to bring his medicine today.
"Are you okay, Hayate?" Yugao asked worriedly.
Her short purple hair complemented her flawless, delicate face, making her look very pretty.
"It's nothing... cough cough... I just forgot to bring my medicine." Hayate said while coughing.
He was already used to this kind of thing.
This was a Kekkei genkai disease, an incurable, lifelong illness.
His family all had this disease, and most of them had died young.
Hayate's body was also weak and sickly, and he was inferior to his peers in the physical aspect.
For this reason, Hayate could only work hard in swordsmanship, wanting to make up for his physical weakness.
"Is this better?"
When Hayate and Yugao walked past him, a faint green light suddenly appeared in Kiyoshi's hand, and then he pressed it on Hayate's back.
Kurenai wondered what Kiyoshi was doing. Asuma, who was looking at the others, also withdrew his gaze.
"You are..."
Hayate was startled. But he quickly realized that it was indeed as the tall and strong brother in front of him had said, he felt much better.
Yugao's small face was full of vigilance, staring at the unknown Kiyoshi.
"My medical ninjutsu can only temporarily relieve it. It's better to go back and take your medicine quickly." Kiyoshi gave a gentle smile.
"Yugao, don't be like this. My condition really has improved a lot."
Hayate quickly said when he saw Yugao's brows furrowed.
"It seems so."
Yugao gradually lowered her guard when she heard that Hayate had stopped coughing.
It seemed that this big brother was really helping Hayate out of kindness.
"Are you a doctor?" Yugao asked.
Every time she saw her childhood friend Hayate coughing, her heart would ache along with him.
She didn't know how many times she had thought it would be great if Hayate's illness could be cured.
"I guess so, I'm a medical ninja." Kiyoshi said.
In the original story, this pair could be considered a pair of tragic lovers.
Hayate was too weak and couldn't beat Baki. He died in his hands, leaving Yugao to live as a widow ever since.
Kiyoshi couldn't stand such a tragedy.
Let him save these two.
Kiyoshi's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Yugao meaningfully.
Yugao and Kurenai will both be mature women in the future.
But in terms of aloofness, perhaps because of her purple hair and her experience in the Anbu, Yugao was even better in this regard.
"Thank you."
Hayate wondered why Kiyoshi kept staring at Yugao, but he sincerely thanked the person who had helped him.
Yugao also thanked him, apologizing for her rudeness just now.
"It's nothing."
Kiyoshi waved goodbye.
"Kiyoshi, your medical ninjutsu is so good." Kurenai said with some surprise.
She knew a little about Kiyoshi going to Konoha Hospital to become someone's apprentice, but she didn't expect Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu to be so good.
But Kiyoshi is so all-rounded in other aspects as well, yet he is also skilled in medical ninjutsu, a technique that consumes so much energy.
How does he allocate his time?
"It only temporarily relieves it for an hour. He still needs to take medicine." Kiyoshi said lightly.
...
After Kurenai asked Kiyoshi about his learning process for medical ninjutsu, she extended an invitation.
"Kiyoshi, do you want to go eat barbecue to celebrate?"
It's good that Tsunade had just left.
Otherwise, Kurenai would feel pressure from being in contact with such a legendary figure all the time.
"No, I'll go back first." Kiyoshi shook his head.
The war is about to happen at any time, so of course, becoming stronger is the best thing to do.
He is about to acquire [Priestess's Reincarnation (Blue)].
Sasori's puppetry, poisoning skills, and Maki's sealing techniques are all waiting for Kiyoshi to learn.
