Chapter 215: 215. Young Master Shimura
The blood moon in the sky erupted with astonishing brilliance, instantly flooding En Oyashiro's entire mental space.
Moments later, En Oyashiro was sitting on the ground, drenched in sweat.
A pair of crimson Blood Dragon Eyes couldn't help but shed blood, looking utterly terrifying.
In response, Danzo's expression remained calm.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan and the resistance to genjutsu granted by Wood Release, his victory was inevitable.
"My apologies, Mr. En Oyashiro. I merely wished to test the mettle of the Blood Pool Clan."
Faced with Danzo's explanation, En Oyashiro no longer dared to argue.
In the previous genjutsu confrontation, his Blood Dragon Eyes had been completely suppressed.
In fact, the suppression felt even more intense than when he had faced that Uchiha brat!
He finally understood why this old man before him could make the proud Uchiha lower their heads and seek him as their teacher!
Not only that, but En Oyashiro also had a feeling that this man before him still harbored even more powerful techniques that he hadn't yet used.
This realization filled his heart with deep fear.
At this moment, Danzo spoke again.
"Looking across the entire ninja world, the living standards and educational systems of Konoha are the best."
"Even if Mr. En Oyashiro doesn't consider himself, shouldn't you at least think about Chino?"
"Only in Konoha can she receive the best education and enjoy the best life."
As he spoke, Danzo leaned his head on his hand, propped up by the armrest of his chair, and tilted his head slightly.
"Of course, if Mr. En Oyashiro is determined to leave Konoha, I won't stop you."
"However, my suggestion is that you take some time to explore Konoha, to understand the current state of the ninja world, and see if my words hold any truth."
After witnessing Danzo's unfathomable and terrifying power, En Oyashiro no longer dared to act recklessly.
He could only obediently comply with Danzo's "suggestion."
"Yes, Elder Danzo, I will take the time to understand this world."
En Oyashiro's words carried a hint of bitterness.
Although Danzo hadn't directly attacked him, the mere display of power was enough to make him tremble with fear.
When under someone else's roof, one has no choice but to lower their head.
Especially when he had a young daughter to care for.
Danzo was right—even if he didn't think about himself, he should at least consider his child, shouldn't he?
He couldn't risk his daughter's life over a moment of impulsiveness.
Seeing that En Oyashiro had finally come to terms with the situation, Danzo turned to Shisui.
"Let Kabuto show them around during this time."
"Junior Brother?"
Shisui was surprised. He never expected Danzo to assign Kabuto as En Oyashiro's guide.
After all, the latter was the possessor of the Blood Dragon Eyes and was no weakling.
The only reason Shisui and Pakura had been able to capture him so easily was because their abilities perfectly countered his.
With such a strong individual, if he harbored any ill intentions, wouldn't Kabuto be in danger?
But Danzo didn't seem the least bit concerned about Kabuto's safety, simply stating, "That boy has been studying for a while now. It's time for him to take a break and relax."
Since the teacher had spoken, Shisui could only nod in agreement.
Thus, En Oyashiro and his daughter were soon led by Shisui to Konoha Hospital.
There, they found Kabuto, who was studying medical ninjutsu under Tsunade.
Ever since Danzo and Shisui had gone to the battlefield, Kabuto had been following Tsunade, learning various medical ninjutsu.
At night, he would also find time to study the industrial knowledge Danzo had left for him.
It was said that just a few days ago, he had even asked Danzo to procure puppet techniques from Sunagakure, wanting to see if he could integrate them into industrial design.
Seeing his disciple so diligent, Danzo had no choice but to promise to do his best to obtain Sunagakure's puppet techniques for him.
After all, Danzo's philosophy was similar to that of certain parents from his past life—
No matter who suffers, the children's education must not be neglected!
When Shisui brought En Oyashiro and his daughter to Tsunade's office, Tsunade gestured for them to be quiet.
Shisui immediately closed his mouth and silently looked into the office.
At that moment, Kabuto was performing a surgery on his own.
Of course, the patient wasn't a human but a severely injured puppy.
As Kabuto's hands emitted a gentle green light, the wound on the puppy's abdomen began to heal rapidly.
By the time Kabuto's forehead was beaded with sweat, the surgery was finally complete.
The puppy had successfully been pulled out of danger, and its condition improved so much that it immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Shisui couldn't help but smile with relief.
Although it was just a puppy, Kabuto's talent in medical ninjutsu had already far surpassed that of his peers.
Moreover, being able to complete the surgery to this extent also indicated that his chakra reserves had reached a considerable level.
The one most shocked by this was undoubtedly En Oyashiro, who had come here carrying his daughter.
Are all the young people in Konoha monsters?
First, there was that Uchiha brat who awakened the Mangekyō in his teens.
And now, this little kid who looked no older than five or six could so skillfully perform medical ninjutsu?
What kind of joke is this...
At this moment, En Oyashiro deeply felt that he had been left behind by this era.
After finishing the surgery, Kabuto immediately rushed over to Shisui the moment he saw him.
Shisui, as usual, crouched down and embraced Kabuto.
"Senior Shisui, you're back!"
"Yep, I brought your favorite salt-grilled sea bream."
With that, Shisui took out a box of sea bream from his pocket. As soon as he opened it, the rich aroma of salt-grilled fish filled the air.
Kabuto's face lit up with joy as he took the fish and turned to Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, would you like to try some? It's really delicious!"
Seeing Kabuto momentarily revert to his childlike state, Tsunade pursed her lips.
"I don't like fish."
She crossed her arms and sat back in her office chair, habitually crossing her legs.
"Alright, enough of this brotherly love display."
"Out with it—what does Danzo want you to do this time?"
Tsunade's gaze shifted to En Oyashiro and his daughter, adding, "It can't be another difficult case that requires my personal attention, can it?"
Shisui shook his head with a smile and replied, "No, they've been invited by the teacher to visit Konoha."
"This time, we're here to pick up Junior Brother so he can act as their guide for a few days and show them around."
Hearing this, Tsunade immediately became interested, her eyes scanning En Oyashiro.
"Someone personally invited by that old man must be no ordinary person."
Tsunade muttered suspiciously.
However, she wasn't one to pry, so after a brief inspection, she waved her hand.
"Go on, take a couple of days off. Just make sure you're back in class the day after tomorrow."
To be honest, Kabuto wasn't particularly fond of taking breaks.
He preferred researching, studying, and growing stronger.
Only by doing so could he provide adequate support the next time his teacher and senior brother went to the battlefield.
Having lost everything once before, he never wanted to experience that pain again.
Thus, he sought the power to protect his teacher and senior brother.
However, since this was the teacher's request, there must be some deeper meaning behind it.
After some thought, Kabuto finally nodded.
"Let's go!"
He raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar man and the little girl in his arms.
With just one glance, the little girl let out a soft laugh.
Hearing such a pure laugh, Kabuto also smiled.
——————
"So, you not only want to learn about Konoha but also the entire ninja world, right?"
The young Kabuto walked ahead, leading En Oyashiro through the streets of Konoha.
Before leaving, Shisui had briefly explained the situation regarding En Oyashiro and his daughter.
Given Kabuto's maturity far beyond his years, Shisui had directly informed him of the truth.
Hearing Kabuto's question, En Oyashiro nodded.
"Right, mainly to learn about Konoha. As for the places outside Konoha, we can explore those later."
En Oyashiro was no fool.
Although Elder Danzo had said he was free to choose, if he really tried to leave Konoha, he'd probably run into bandits the moment he stepped outside!
Kabuto glanced at him, seemingly understanding something, and let out a soft chuckle.
"No problem, there are ways to learn about the entire ninja world even within Konoha."
"Follow me!"
Under his guidance, En Oyashiro, an outsider, soon arrived at Konoha's largest bookstore.
The clerk at the entrance immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Kabuto.
"Young Master Shimura!"
Although Danzo had never explicitly stated it, nearly all the villagers assumed that this young boy who bore the Shimura name would likely become the future head of the Shimura clan.
After all, why else would the childless Elder Danzo bestow his surname upon this young disciple?
However, Kabuto paid no mind to such thoughts.
He knew that in his teacher's heart, things like clan succession were of little importance.
On a broader scale, Danzo cared about Konoha, the village, and even the entire ninja world.
On a smaller scale, he cared about his own strength and ideals.
Of course, Kabuto shared similar sentiments.
In his heart, the most important person was his teacher, Danzo.
Next was his senior brother.
Only then came his own ideals.
Thus, when people addressed him as "Young Master Shimura," Kabuto felt no emotional stir.
He simply nodded politely and said, "I'd like all the issues of the 'Shinobi World United Newspaper,' from the first edition to the latest."
The clerk immediately returned to the store and soon came out with a book.
"Young Master Shimura, this is the compiled edition of the 'Shinobi World United Newspaper.'"
Kabuto nodded in satisfaction, took out the corresponding payment, accepted the newspaper, and left with En Oyashiro.
The clerk stared at the money in his hand, momentarily stunned.
After all, this bookstore was one of Danzo's properties!
Did Young Master Kabuto really need to pay for things at his own family's store?
