57.65% Naruto: You Call This A Medical Ninja? / Chapter 271: **Chapter 271: "The Holy Mother" Medical Ninja?!**

Chapitre 271: **Chapter 271: "The Holy Mother" Medical Ninja?!**

Although Reiki felt a strong urge to leave, he stayed put, knowing he couldn't afford to leave recklessly. If Kakuzu decided to turn on him, it could end here and now. He valued money, but not at the cost of his own life.

As Kakuzu pondered how to approach Reiki, a voice came from behind.

"You… have anything else to do here?"

"If not, you're free to go. But if you don't have any tasks lined up, perhaps you could take on one of mine," Reiki said as he began treating the ninjas who had been defeated by Kakuzu. Only one had died from having his heart torn out; the others were simply incapacitated. If left untreated, they would die, but Reiki wasn't about to let that happen just yet.

"Your mission?" Kakuzu was taken aback. To him, Reiki was just a medical ninja, albeit a peculiar one. He found it hard to believe that this boy could offer any task worth his time. How much could a mere chuunin afford?

"Exactly," Reiki continued. "We Konoha ninjas have missions to complete, and I'm sure the gold exchange has information on our missions. You have ways of knowing when Konoha shinobi are out on missions, don't you?"

Kakuzu's eyes narrowed as he listened. Every word made sense, but the way they connected left him puzzled.

"Can't follow?" Reiki asked, noticing Kakuzu's confusion.

"I understand… but I don't," Kakuzu muttered. "How do we price this?"

"It means I can hire you for interception or assassination based on mission ranks—Genin, Chuunin, Jonin—all for different rewards. And rest assured, I'll pay you more than the gold exchange rate," Reiki explained. "There's one condition: you bring me the target alive, not dead."

Kakuzu was silent for a moment. The idea intrigued him. He did have access to information about Konoha's ninjas and hired mercenaries, but this arrangement might limit his ability to accept other assassination jobs.

"Alright, I'm interested. But how do I contact you?" Kakuzu asked. Unlike the fixed locations at the gold exchange, Reiki wasn't stationed anywhere, and Kakuzu couldn't just show up at Konoha with his targets.

"Brother Minato, when's our next mission?" Reiki called out to Namikaze Minato.

"What?" Minato replied, puzzled. "After we get back, I'll rest for three days, then head out for another mission. Why?"

Reiki smirked. "Did you hear that?" he said, turning to Kakuzu. "About three days after we return to the village, we'll be heading out again. I'll give you specific contact details when the time comes. Until then, if you have targets, keep them on hold."

Reiki resumed treating the injured ninjas as Kakuzu, after considering for a moment, realized no one was paying him any attention. With a final look at Reiki, he disappeared into the forest, leaving the idea of their deal for later.

Within the hour, Reiki had treated all the injured ninjas.

"Why save us?" one of them asked, eyeing Reiki suspiciously. Their mission had been to take the heads of Konoha ninjas for bounty. Why would a Konoha ninja treat them?

"Save you?" Reiki snorted. "No, I'm not saving you. Brother Minato, they're all yours now."

Minato's lips curled into a smile as he tossed his kunai, marking the area for his Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Go!" One of the ninjas, sensing danger, used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

The other ninja hesitated for just a moment too long. In that instant, Minato appeared beside him, touching his body and applying the Flying Thunder God seal.

Minato disappeared in a flash and reappeared where the fleeing ninja was. The rest of the day was a nightmare for the captured ninjas. 

By nightfall, the hired ninjas wished Reiki hadn't saved them at all. Minato, Choza, Kan, and Nozuki took turns using them for combat practice. Minato quickly escalated from handling two to four at a time. Choza and Kan, while not as quick, managed to take down their opponents in solo matches. And Nozuki, still a Chuunin, astounded everyone by holding her own against a Jonin.

Adding to their despair was Reiki, the perverted medical ninja who wouldn't let them die. No matter how injured they became, Reiki healed them enough for another round.

"Is it enough yet?" Choza asked, seeing the ashen faces of their opponents, who had lost all will to fight.

"Yeah, that's good," Minato nodded. "Rest up tonight. We'll head back to the village tomorrow."

"Understood," Reiki said with a smile, settling down.

Minato perched on a large branch, refining his chakra. With Kan on guard, the team could rest easy.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Minato made the call to abandon the hired ninjas and head back to the village. Some of these captives had affiliations with larger villages, and taking them back could spark diplomatic issues that weren't worth the trouble.

Chapitre 272: **Chapter 272: Cooperating with Orochimaru, the Root Organization's Disgrace!**

As the presence of Namikaze Minato and his team faded, the four surviving hired ninjas stood in shock and confusion. The sudden departure left them baffled. It felt like teetering on the edge of an abyss, only to find a path out at the last moment. The relief was overwhelming, and they couldn't help but tear up. None of them ever wanted to face that kind of torment again.

"Hehehe…"

"Reiki, you've given me quite the gift!"

A chilling voice echoed from the shadows.

"Who—?"

Before the ninjas could react, a swarm of snake-like shadows enveloped them.

"Orochimaru?!"

They finally saw their captor—a pale man with serpentine eyes. It was none other than Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin. But why was he here?

Orochimaru offered no explanation. A giant serpent appeared and swallowed the four of them whole before disappearing into the night.

It was Reiki who had summoned Orochimaru. When he tasked Kakuzu with attacking the four ninjas the previous day, he already had plans for what to do with them. Killing them outright felt wasteful. Bringing them back to the village would likely only bring more complications, knowing Hiruzen Sarutobi's tendency for leniency and the potential for political entanglements.

That's when Reiki thought of Orochimaru—a man unafraid of trouble and constantly seeking new "materials" for his experiments. These captured ninjas would be perfect for his purposes. After sending a shadow clone to reach Konoha quickly, Reiki contacted Orochimaru, who agreed without hesitation and even made a promise in return.

By noon the next day, the team returned to Konoha without further incidents.

"I'll report the mission and get the rewards distributed today. Go rest; I'll inform you about the next mission a day in advance," Minato said before vanishing in a flash.

Akimichi Choza and Aburame Kan exchanged brief farewells with Reiki before heading home.

"Nozuki, are you going home or coming with me to see the teacher?" Reiki asked.

"Let's see the teacher. I defeated a Jonin on my own; I want to tell her and make her proud," Nozuki said with a smile. She had gained a lot from this mission, and being Reiki's partner meant she also enjoyed the perks of free resources.

"Great. Let's pick up some ingredients and make something good to eat. I'm tired of those ration pills."

Laughing, the two made their way to the market.

Back at their courtyard, Tsunade had just returned. While Reiki, Shizune, and Kurenai prepared food, Nozuki eagerly recounted her mission stories to Tsunade.

**Late at Night, at the Orphanage**

"Swish, swish, swish…"

Three figures moved stealthily through the shadows.

"The list."

"Machuan, Kazeto, Kenta, Rei, Hanyu Azawa. All confirmed. Commence capture mission."

The trio, holding information about the five children, moved in to seize them.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Before they could enter, they were forcefully repelled from within. Their vision darkened, and they collapsed unconscious.

"Three more test subjects secured."

Orochimaru emerged from the shadows, smirking. "But with someone as exceptional as Reiki here, I can't let him fall into anyone else's hands. After all, he is Tsunade's disciple."

Orochimaru didn't fully understand Reiki's actions. With such talent, Reiki should have been laser-focused on growing stronger, not caught up in these matters. Orochimaru assumed Reiki's dedication to healing was rooted in personal or family issues. These pursuits, in Orochimaru's eyes, only delayed his progress. Reiki could have easily reached Jonin status by now, like Uchiha Shisui, who had accelerated his development in the Anbu.

Still, it was Reiki's choice. Orochimaru could only watch, intrigued. Gathering the unconscious intruders, he disappeared into the darkness.

**The Next Morning, at Root Headquarters**

"Disappeared?" Danzo's brows furrowed as he listened to the report. "Their mission was simply to retrieve children from the orphanage. How could they vanish in the village?"

Root members were trained to prioritize missions above all else. Losing contact with three operatives at once was unheard of.

"Only traces of one person were found," said his aide. "But it's not particularly suspicious—it's Orochimaru. He might have been searching for subjects for his experiments."

Danzo's expression softened. "I see. Summon Orochimaru. If he was here last night, he might know something."

Danzo trusted Orochimaru more than most would believe. As long as Orochimaru needed resources for his experiments, he relied on Danzo's support—something Hiruzen Sarutobi would never provide openly.

---

In the end, Danzo learned nothing. Orochimaru's skill at covering his tracks was unmatched. To everyone else, the three Root members had simply vanished from Konoha.

**At the Hokage's Office**

Hiruzen Sarutobi also received the report about the missing ninjas. Yet, he trusted Danzo to manage such matters himself. He had bigger issues to focus on—the Uchiha clan.

The current behavior of the Uchiha was not what he expected. The death of Uchiha Tani should have made them more volatile, yet they were unusually calm. Even their police work had become more harmonious.

This was not the outcome Sarutobi wanted.
