Kapitel 81: Chapter 81
[3450 PS Reached!!, Sadly I won't be home the weekend. Is my birthay so I'll take the weekend off. First time not uploading! I'll try to come back early, but no promises.]
[I trully appreciate the PSs!, we got 2 place in the ranking. (We may get third), even so I'm quite happy with the result!, I hope you guys enjoyed it too.]
[Anyway, seeya Monday!]
Land of Fire, Konohagakure. Today the weather was nice.
The warm but not blinding sunlight fell, covering the early morning buildings with a golden glow.
Sakura, who had risen early, was about to put on her ninja shoes at the door when her sharp-eyed mother quickly handed her a warm bottle of milk, reminding her with a familiar lecture:
"Sakura, you're at the age where you need to grow. Remember to drink milk in the morning and don't buy too many snacks outside; it's not healthy."
"Got it, got it~"
Sakura reluctantly took the milk.
Seeing her mother about to continue her lecture, she quickly put on her ninja shoes and left a quick "I'm going to train," before dashing out with a "whoosh".
"This child..." Sakura's mother shook her head and closed the door.
There were already many people on Konoha's morning streets. As Sakura walked among them, she thought about how her parents always controlled what she ate and drank, and sighed inwardly, fantasizing:
"If only I could do whatever I wanted, eat whatever I liked without my parents controlling me."
"But Naruto and Sasuke probably don't think that way."
Sakura suddenly stopped and looked at a house not far away.
That was where Sasuke used to live.
Thinking of the night Sasuke resolutely left, Sakura took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and encouraged herself:
"Come on, Sakura! To take Sasuke back from Hagoromo Gensou, you must work hard!"
"The first step is to complete the medical tasks assigned by the Hokage and truly become her disciple!"
Determined, Sakura took one last look at Sasuke's house and quickened her pace towards Konoha Hospital.
As Konoha's only large comprehensive hospital, Konoha Hospital housed the most medical ninjas.
Since Tsunade, the medical expert, returned, Konoha Hospital's medical system had further improved and upgraded.
With more funding injected into the village, Konoha Hospital now represented the highest standard of medical ninjutsu in the entire ninja world, attracting many people from other countries who traveled great distances for treatment.
When Sakura arrived, she saw that the outpatient hall was already filled with many patients waiting.
Medical ninjas and nurses in white coats were moving around, starting their day's work.
Although Sakura was also wearing a white coat, she wasn't qualified to treat patients yet.
Her sole task now was to battle with the poor fish in the lab, striving to master medical ninjutsu as soon as possible.
"Hey! Sakura!"
Just as Sakura was about to start her daily training, a slender, pale arm suddenly wrapped around her neck, and the next second, an enthusiastic greeting sounded in her ear.
Sakura didn't need to look to know who it was.
"Ino, you're here quite early today."
"No choice, you're giving me too much pressure."
Yamanaka Ino, with her high ponytail, said with a smile.
Hearing that Sakura had started learning medical ninjutsu, her friend and longtime rival Ino decided to join her without much thought, driven by a sense of competition.
However, unlike Sakura, who had excellent talent in precise chakra control, Ino was much weaker in this area.
As a result, Sakura's progress greatly outpaced hers.
Though a bit disheartened, Ino's fighting spirit remained intact.
Especially because she had encountered something recently that put her in a very good mood.
"Sakura...Sakura..."
Ino looked around, pulled on Sakura's sleeve, and signaled her to come closer.
"What is it?" Sakura asked, puzzled.
"I found a super handsome guy in the hospital!" Ino whispered excitedly, as if revealing a huge secret. Hearing this, Sakura rolled her eyes.
She thought Ino was going to say something important, but it turned out to be this.
Well, it made sense.
Unlike her unwavering loyalty to Sasuke, Ino had always been attracted to handsome guys.
Even though Sasuke was now taken away by the bad guy named Hagoromo Gensou, Sakura's feelings for him remained unchanged.
"You can keep the handsome guy for yourself; I need to train."
Sakura was about to leave Ino.
Ino quickly grabbed her, sharing the excitement: "Let's go see him together. He's really handsome. Not just his looks, but his indescribable aura. Oh, and he's also a recently famous doctor in the hospital, known for his high medical ninjutsu skills. Sakura, aren't you having trouble with your medical studies? We can ask him for advice."
Hearing that the handsome guy had high medical skills piqued Sakura's interest, but she still hesitated: "Won't we be disturbing him?"
"Don't worry, he has a very good temperament." Ino assured her confidently.
With Ino's reassurance, Sakura put aside her worries and followed her to meet the highly skilled and handsome doctor.
"Dr. Sōsuke!" (Aizen Is Here!!!!!!)
Soon, in a hospital corridor, the two girls found their target, and Ino enthusiastically waved and greeted him.
"Sōsuke" turned around.
Sakura finally saw the handsome face that Ino had been raving about.
He was indeed very good-looking.
However, at first glance, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Sakura blinked and looked again carefully.
This time, the feeling was gone.
"Strange."
Though a bit puzzled, Sakura didn't think much of it and followed Ino's lead, walking over.
"Dr. Sōsuke" nodded to the familiar Ino and then glanced at Sakura.
'Is her observational skill that sharp? Or is my acting that bad?'
Noticing Sakura's change in expression earlier, "Dr. Sōsuke" pondered.
Of course, "Dr. Sōsuke" wasn't the real Sōsuke. It was Gensou himself, using a disguise technique to replace a spy from the Hagoromo clan who worked at Konoha Hospital.
After resolving the issues with the Tool Ninja Village, Gensou arrived in Konoha with a thirst for knowledge. Instead of causing a commotion, he took on the identity of a medical ninja working at Konoha Hospital.
During this time, with his flawless identity, Gensou had accessed many internal medical ninjutsu books in the hospital, gaining significant knowledge and showcasing some talents, which increased his influence in the hospital and granted him access to more medical secrets.
As for whether this increased the risk of exposure?
Gensou never intended to keep this identity hidden for long.
He wasn't a professional spy and had no experience in this area.
Disguise is a meticulous craft that requires extensive experience.
Even with a perfect change in appearance, some intrinsic traits are hard to alter.
Just now, Sakura, who had only seen him once, already sensed something was off.
Gensou didn't mind.
Although he couldn't maintain the disguise for long, it was enough to buy him the time he needed to move around.
