章節 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.

====

Following Sōsuke's usual persona, Gensou greeted Ino and Sakura warmly as they approached.

Honestly, he had never thought he would have any interaction with Ino.

But being from the Yamanaka clan, which values "positive and forward-looking love and emotions," Ino had enthusiastically approached him after their first meeting.

After all, girls of this age often judged by appearances.

Just like the Uchiha clan, who were all handsome men, the Hagoromo clan also had many attractive members.

For example, Gensou himself, Samui, Hanare, and currently Sasuke.

Combined with Gensou's unique aura, he had received quite a few subtle hints from female colleagues and patients' female relatives during this time.

But Gensou had rejected them all.

What a joke!

Women couldn't compare to the joy of training.

"Dr. Sōsuke, let me introduce you to Sakura. She's about to become the Hokage's student," Ino said, hugging Sakura's shoulders and not forgetting to introduce her best friend.

Gensou, rarely playing someone else's role, found it quite refreshing.

Hearing Ino, he pulled out the acting skills he had honed during summer jobs and looked at Sakura with "surprise":

"The Hokage's student? That's impressive."

Sakura blushed and quickly waved her hands, "Not yet! I'm still far from meeting Tsunade-sama's requirements."

"That's why you should ask Dr. Sōsuke for advice, Sakura," Ino said, patting Sakura on the shoulder.

"Can I?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

Although Tsunade-sama had taught her some medical knowledge and given her some professional books to read, as the Hokage, she was too busy. Most of the time, when Sakura encountered problems she didn't understand, she had to figure them out on her own.

The senior medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital occasionally taught her when they had free time.

But compared to Tsunade-sama's ability to enlighten her with just a few words, their teachings were still lacking.

If there was someone as skilled as Tsunade-sama... no, even if they were a bit less skilled but still very competent, who could teach her, it would be great.

Remembering what Ino had said earlier, Sakura looked at "Sōsuke" expectantly.

"You're stuck with reviving the half-dead fish, right?" Gensou smiled lightly and asked.

Sakura nodded quickly.

"That's normal. Fish are the best experimental subjects for beginners in medical ninjutsu," Gensou said.

Although his first experimental subject for medical ninjutsu was himself.

But others were not like him; there was no comparison.

Gensou continued to explain, "The task is to bring a fish back from a half-dead state without damaging its nerves and flesh. Once you've accomplished this, you can call yourself a medical ninja. Of course, as a beginner, there are a few things to keep in mind..."

Having systematically studied the mainstream medical ninjutsu at Konoha Hospital and rapidly improved his own medical skills, Gensou found teaching quite easy.

Sakura and Ino listened intently, nodding repeatedly.

Later, as they encountered colleagues and patients who greeted them warmly, it showed "Dr. Sōsuke's" high reputation in Konoha's medical field. Gensou led Sakura and Ino to the lab to teach them hands-on.

[Ding!]

[Side Mission: Childhood Sweetheart (Completed)]

[With the host's strong pursuit, classmate Yamanaka Ino's affection for the host has greatly increased. Congratulations to the host for successfully having a childhood sweetheart.]

[Reward: Radiant Technique]

"This mission was completed just like that?" Ignoring the system's claim of "strong pursuit," Gensou looked at Ino, who was currently battling the half-dead fish.

They had only met less than three times in total.

Moreover, he had never taken the initiative, yet the mission was completed inadvertently.

Indeed, a girl who loves handsome guys develops feelings quickly and easily.

Just as when Sasuke left, Ino wasn't as sad as Sakura.

At this age, being as deeply in love with Sasuke as Sakura was, to the point of being willing to die for him, was unusual.

Gensou shook his head slightly, no longer caring about these matters. He first checked the reward for the Radiant Technique.

The technique's main effect was similar to a cleaning spell, keeping his appearance in the best state.

For someone who didn't like wasting time on washing up, it was a blessing.

Next, Gensou looked at the system's newly released side mission.

[Side Mission: Academic Rivalry]

[Mission Description: After defeating Uchiha Sasuke, the host is unbeatable in the ninja academy, but this only represents strength. In written exams, there is often someone better, who frequently takes the top spot—Sakura. Please surpass Sakura in a written exam to achieve true academic and physical first place.]

[Reward: Precise Chakra Control Talent (Sakura version)]

When Ino brought Sakura over earlier, it wasn't long before Gensou's mind received this new side mission.

Sakura's talent in precise chakra control in the original story was evident. While Gensou could achieve similar results now, he wouldn't refuse an additional boost.

Talent is talent.

It's something that cannot be changed or learned, and Gensou was interested in having more of it.

Otherwise, why would he personally teach these two girls?

"Ahem."

Gensou cleared his throat, interrupting Sakura and Ino's practice. As the two girls looked at him in confusion, he pulled out two test papers and said:

"To better understand your foundation in medical ninjutsu, let's have a pop quiz."

Sakura and Ino had no objections.

But when they noticed Gensou also pulling out a test paper and starting to write, Sakura asked curiously, "Dr. Sōsuke, why are you taking the test too?"

"This is to review and refresh my knowledge." Gensou explained seriously.

Thus, under Sakura's admiring gaze, Gensou effortlessly scored full marks on the test, surpassing her easily.

[Ding!]

[Side Mission: Academic Rivalry (Completed)]

[After diligent and painstaking study, the host finally surpassed the top student Sakura in a written exam, achieving first place in both academics and physical prowess at the ninja academy.]

[Reward: Precise Chakra Control Talent (Sakura version)]

Gensou closed his eyes, feeling the improvement in his precise chakra control, and nodded slightly.

This time, the system's mission reward was finally helpful.

A cause for celebration.
