Konoha Hospital, Pharmacy Window.
"Please give me 10 packs of soldier pills."
While Kaito was buying things, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure strolled down the corridor.
Today, Yakushi Nono had changed into a white nurse's uniform, which perfectly set off her voluptuous figure under the uniform!
Her saintly face paired with a nurse's cap amplified her compassionate aura to the extreme.
Hearing Kaito ask for 10 packs of soldier pills as soon as he opened his mouth, both the medical staff and Yakushi Nono were stunned.
What is the use of these drugs? Can you eat so much alone? Are you eating them as meals~~~!
"Soldier pills... generally speaking, people don't buy so many."
Out of personal preference, Yakushi Nono, who loved children, had a natural fondness for Kaito.
She walked over slowly, her gait swaying gracefully.
"Miss Nono." Kaito turned his head, nodded slightly, and greeted her.
His gaze swept over her body under the uniform!
It lingered for a moment before fixing on that beautiful face.
Sure enough, there is this kind of PLAY...
Seeing her in a nurse's uniform, Kaito felt... besides the nun's habit in the original work, the nurse's uniform at this moment... was also really~~ not bad~.
"I've been busy training recently to prepare for the upcoming Chunin Exams, so it's inevitable that I'm lazy about cooking... But it's all worth it because... I am a Konoha ninja who has inherited the Will of Fire..."
Kaito talked eloquently, and Yakushi Nono nodded continuously.
Looking at the good young man in front of her who was working hard to practice the Will of Fire, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
As the "Thousand-Faced Spy," how could she not understand the methods the higher-ups used to discriminate against the Uchiha?
Thinking of the darkness of the Konoha higher-ups, she wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
The fact that the Uchiha clan was suppressed and persecuted was a reality.
It was also a fact that Uchiha children entered the Ninja Academy with other children, learned the Will of Fire together, and were brainwashed... oh no, influenced by the Will of Fire.
The Uchiha children were so certain that they had a bright future just like other children.
But... that was just an illusion.
Once Uchiha clan children passed the Chunin Exam, they would be forced to join the Police Force.
If an existence like Uchiha Kagami appeared, then... no matter which Uchiha was chosen, the Uchiha clan would be in danger.
Yakushi Nono couldn't say these words.
Because, how could she make a child who firmly believed in the Will of Fire believe that what he believed in was darkness?
Ever since Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, was driven to death.
Yakushi Nono had thoroughly recognized the true face of this place called Konoha.
As colleagues and companions, seeing someone who gave their all for Konoha end up like that, who wouldn't be chilled to the bone?
Nono, who had long harbored the intention to retreat... planned to leave Konoha.
After several years of back and forth, she finally obtained permission from Shimura Danzo.
After leaving here, she planned to go to the border area of the Land of Fire and open an orphanage...
Kaito, who knew the characters of Naruto well, certainly understood Yakushi Nono's extensive inner drama.
He also saw Yakushi Nono's insincerity and hesitation.
"Is that so..."
Yakushi Nono thought for a moment.
"I have some unused soldier pills there. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you..."
She proposed, asking Kaito to follow her to get them.
Kaito didn't decline, because... this was a connection.
Even if it started with a trivial gift, in the end, it could lead to greater developments.
Yakushi Nono turned and walked ahead.
Kaito followed behind, his gaze occasionally resting on her figure from behind under the uniform!
When they arrived at Yakushi Nono's staff dormitory, she, who served in the Medical Corps, took almost all her soldier pills and gave them to Kaito.
"These different colored ones are blood-replenishing pills, and there are..."
Yakushi Nono included some other types of common medicines as a bonus.
Looking at her, Kaito couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Truly a... kind person."
In this gray area of Konoha, Yakushi Nono was like a beam of pure white light.
Good people... don't live long. Because there is too much darkness in this world.
Taking various medicines from Yakushi Nono, Kaito knew that she would be leaving Konoha soon.
This might be the last time the two met for now, so he should say something...
There was something.
"Miss Nono."
Holding the bag, Kaito solemnly bade farewell to Yakushi Nono at the dormitory door.
"If you are in trouble one day, come find me."
Kaito smiled. It was a sunny smile, like a pure boy who grew up in a greenhouse.
Shimura Danzo... or rather, Konoha, would not let Yakushi Nono go.
Leave?
The ninja world is full of people; it's not that easy to leave.
One day, Shimura Danzo would reactivate her, the "Wandering Shrine Maiden," to continue risking her life for Konoha.
It would be best if she died in action; if not, he would use various methods to make her die.
For no other reason... than that the number one spy kunoichi knew too much.
"Although I am weak now, a scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at with new eyes... As time goes by, I will grow and become strong, until..."
No one can stop me; I will do whatever I want.
Kaito had confidence in his evil path of upgrading.
You helped me, I take it as a favor.
Besides...
Kaito glanced one last time at her figure under the uniform!
Wouldn't it be a pity to die like that?
The flower is budding, waiting for the rain to wash it, and then it will welcome its true bloom...
"Miss Nono, the green hills will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet again."
After speaking, Kaito nodded and turned to leave.
"..."
Yakushi Nono blinked, thoughtful.
Having traveled all over the ninja world and gone undercover countless times, meeting countless people, she always felt that Kaito was special.
On him... there was a temperament that other children didn't have.
What is it?
The Thousand-Faced Spy who had read countless people would never have thought what kind of evil and mature soul was hidden in the body of an Uchiha...
...
Turning the corner from the hospital, Kaito casually took out a scroll: "Seal!"
With the execution of a common storage sealing jutsu, the medicines were directly sealed inside.
This way, the shelf life could be extended.
Having solved the food storage problem, Kaito went straight home.
Next, continuous training until the Chunin Exams arrived.
Going on a killing spree in the Chunin Exams was the first goal.
The Third Great Ninja War would break out in less than a year at most. That would be the "second pitfall" that Uchiha clan ninja had to face.
Because the Uchiha would be sent to the main battlefield against Kumogakure.
Kumogakure had the Third Raikage, the AB Brothers, and other powerful Cloud ninja.
Their specialty was abusing the Sharingan, abusing it in various fancy ways.
The Konoha higher-ups specifically sending the Uchiha there caused the survival difficulty to skyrocket linearly; their intentions were obvious.
Therefore... before the Third War arrives, work hard to accumulate strength. Striving to survive in the great war when the time comes is the thing to do.
