Chapter 26 Who Named the Ten Times Love Flying Swirl Omelette Rice?
"Hokage-sama, the treatment is over."
The vice president in a white coat walked out of the ward, his tone a little tired.
Kakashi was familiar with that tone, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that a difficult exchange had just taken place.
The deputy dean took off his mask, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman wearing thick glasses.
"Naruto Uzumaki's body has a strong ability to heal itself, and new skin has grown on his hands. Because the wound was treated well before, there was no foreign matter left, so there was no need to re-operate and clean it.
"But because 'that' power suddenly flooded his body, the cells in his body were somewhat worn out, and he will be weak for a period of time. Take a good rest and recuperate his body, and he will regain his vitality in about three or four days."
Judging from her words, she only knew that there was a tailed beast inside Naruto.
Having said this, the dean adjusted his glasses and gave advice from experts.
"But having said that, although the child has a good foundation, his physical development rate is slower than that of his peers. He should be allowed to eat more nutritious food. Otherwise, he will have no advantage after arriving at the ninja school. In other words, being at a disadvantage among his peers for a long time is not conducive to his emotional stability.”
"Oh, I see."
The third generation lowered his head slightly, hiding his expression under the Hokage's hat, but he had no intention of expressing his position at all.
"Where's the other kid?"
"It's a coincidence. I personally delivered the Uchiha twins back then, but I haven't seen them since, until today."
The vice-president showed a soft smile, "That child is different from Sasuke. He never cries or laughs since he was born. At that time, we thought he was here..."
She pointed to her head.
"There may have been some hidden dangers. But now it seems that's not the case, which is a huge relief."
[Is that expression innate? 】
Kakashi groaned inwardly.
The vice president continued: "As for the injury, he was lucky. The giant millipede's blood burned through his epidermis and dermis, but miraculously avoided the blood vessels, saving a lot of trouble for subsequent treatment.
“I originally planned to apply some medication and then bandage it, but the kid was adamant about a quicker recovery.
"So I used palm magic to slightly stimulate his self-healing ability. His left hand should be completely healed by tomorrow at most."
Then, her brows suddenly knitted together, "I really don't know what kind of person can be so cruel to a child..."
"Ahem! The village is already investigating this matter."
[You may not believe it if you tell me. He did it himself. 】
Sandai coughed twice: "I would like to ask, does this child Yiyong...can't feel pain?"
Judging from Yiyong's coffin-like expression after being injured, it's hard not to think of this possibility.
Since the ninja world was recorded, ninjas who have no sense of pain are all extremely cruel and uncontrollable existences.
These people cannot feel pain themselves, so it is difficult for them to understand how others feel when they are hurt. Naturally, they cannot talk about sympathy and mercy.
They dismantle a person's body as naturally and easily as an ordinary child dismantles a clock. They are not only a hidden danger to the enemy, but also to their own people...
If Uchiha Giyuu is really such a child, it means that all the feelings he shows towards Naruto are all fake and manipulated.
Although combined with Yiyong's performance and other rumors related to him, the third generation feels that this is unlikely.
How many children can have their hands burned through by corrosive liquid without changing their expressions?
He had to be sure.
“When we examined him, we found no problem with his tactile nerve conduction.
"And he also showed a flight response to pain when he was a baby, so you don't have to worry about that."
The vice-dean shook his head, "Besides, this child should be in great pain after suffering such an injury. It's just like when he was a child, he can't show it through his emotions, or he doesn't want to show it in front of his friends. come out.
"In addition, this child's physical fitness is very good, and he must have gone through quite strenuous exercise. Maybe this level of pain is nothing to him anymore..."
"so."
The third generation nodded in relief, "Thank you very much."
[That is a very strong-willed child. 】
There was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
"You're welcome, this is my job. If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and get busy."
"good."
After the vice-principal turned the corner, the third generation took Kakashi to the window at the end of the corridor, took off his bamboo hat, and slowly rubbed his gray hair from his forehead to the back of his head with a pair of old hands. Still trembling slightly.
"Kakashi, you did the right thing this time."
After a long time, the third generation turned his back to Kakashi and said, "If you hadn't sent a clone to find me at the root in time, the conflict between the village and Uchiha would have intensified again."
Mito Kadoen, who is responsible for the jounin assessment, has said it several times about what Uchiha Enhuo's temper is like.
It was an explosive package that declared that one person would challenge all participants in the assessment.
If, in a fit of anger, he used any powerful illusion technique on the shop owner who didn't even have control over chakra, the damage to the latter's spirit would be irreversible.
At that time, as Hokage, he would have to deal with this matter publicly and stand on the opposite side of the Uchiha clan.
Even if Uchiha did not initiate this incident, the consequences would not be any different.
Not to mention, Danzo will definitely fan the flames and make a big fuss out of this matter.
Hearing what the Sandai said, Kakashi immediately lowered his head and apologized: "I was negligent. When the child proposed to take Naruto to return the goods, I should have stopped him-"
Before he finished speaking, the third generation turned around, with the unique depth of an elderly person in power, a little scary and a little helpless.
"Do you really think so?"
"I do not know what you mean."
"Aren't you thinking, 'If the old man had made it clearer when he gave the orders to the businessmen last time, this wouldn't have happened', aren't you?"
"..."
"well."
The third generation placed his hands on both sides of the window sill and sighed.
"You are Minato's disciple, and you are the closest person to Naruto. I can tell you some things."
A trace of guilt flashed in the third generation's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by the determination of being Hokage.
"Those people will find loopholes in my orders. Of course I know this. I even guessed that they would do this."
Kakashi said nothing, but through his masked eyes, there was no surprise at all.
How could the Hokage not think of things that he could think of.
But he didn't understand what the point of torturing Naruto like this was.
"I also watched Minato and Kushina grow up, and Naruto was delivered by my late wife herself. How could I bear the heart to let that child suffer under my eyes. If I were not the Hokage, I would definitely treat myself like Treat him like your own grandson and raise him with every possible care...
"But as a shadow——"
The old man's tone suddenly worsened, and the strong voice of his youth burst out from his lips and teeth.
"I have to prioritize Naruto's identity as a Jinchuuriki and put the safety of the entire Konoha first.
"The Kyuubi inside Naruto is the most evil and powerful one among the nine tailed beasts. Even the sealing techniques of Minato and Kushina cannot ensure that the Kyuubi can be trapped honestly. Inside Naruto.
"Therefore, before Naruto completely stabilizes his emotions, every time he is stronger and healthier, the damage he may cause when the Nine-Tails chakra is leaked will be doubled. I believe you have also heard that You should understand what I mean about the jinchūriki going berserk in other villages..."
Kakashi nodded silently.
Jinchuuriki are all time bombs, this is not just talk.
"Now that I'm old and decrepit, I can't be as calm as Raikage, and I don't have the confidence like Minato and Kushina to die with Kyuubi, so I have to take this strategy. But I don't regret it..."
There was a terrifying edge in his sight.
"Because as long as it is known that Naruto caused serious casualties due to the leakage of Nine-Tails Chakra, Danzo will find a reason and work with other advisors to force me to hand over Naruto and use his truly shady methods to kill Naruto. To turn a man into a numb war puppet to realize his unrealistic but paranoid ambitions is what I really don’t want to see.”
"I don't understand, since you think it's necessary to keep Naruto weak."
Kakashi held back his displeasure and asked doubtfully: "Then why did you agree to the child's request in front of those merchants today?"
The Third Hokage turned his head and smiled meaningfully.
"Let me ask you, what was the reason for the last time Naruto suspected that the tailed beast chakra was leaked (actually it was not)?"
"It's the Hyuga family's daughter who is being bullied."
"What about this time?"
"...When those people scolded him, they also scolded Uchiha Giyuu."
"Then before, when Naruto himself suffered injustice and endured loneliness, was there ever such a situation?"
"……No."
"This already explains some problems."
The third generation concluded, "No matter how evil the Nine-Tails in Naruto is, he is a good boy and has never had any ill will towards the villagers who ignored and hated them because of his situation.
"The most egregious thing he ever did was scrawling on other people's doors with paint in the summer. This kind of behavior can hardly be called revenge, but more like trying to attract other people's attention."
"Is such that."
Kakashi nodded.
"But the situation changed when his friends encountered what he had experienced. This shows that he is a child who only desires power when it is to protect important people."
The third generation paused and touched the back of his left hand pointedly, "On the other hand, Uchiha Giyuu, after sensing Naruto's difficulty, did not hesitate to make sacrifices to prove that Naruto was not lying. This shows that he Same idea.
"So, instead of letting Naruto continue his previous life, causing Uchiha Giyu to take risks for him again, causing the tailed beast chakra to leak and even the conflict between the village and Uchiha, it is better to let the goodwill between the two children form a solid foundation. "
"Having someone who truly cares about Naruto, rather than someone with complicated purposes and moods like me, by his side can help him gradually stabilize.
"At first the village didn't agree with Minato and Kushina getting too close, but I still "insisted on my own" and suppressed their opposition, but the facts proved that it was the right choice, and I believe this time will not be an exception."
"After all, believe in the will and strength of young people..."
The old man turned around, "It is the core of the will of fire.
"But the only hidden danger at present is not Naruto, but Uchiha Giyuu. Will he become a way for some Uchiha people to get close to Naruto in the future, so... Kakashi!"
"Yes."
Kakashi knelt on one knee.
When the Hokage suddenly spoke in this tone, it meant that he had a task to be assigned.
"Take care of Naruto for another two months, and then return to the Anbu to continue to be your captain."
The third generation looked through the window at the location of the "root", "After a few more assassination missions, Uchiha Itachi will enter the Anbu directly under the Hokage through Danzo (in the TV, Danzo said that he introduced Itachi to the Anbu). You are Obito's friend and you also have the Sharingan. You and Uchiha Itachi are more likely to have common topics than other members.
"I need you to guide him and observe him to find out his inclination towards the village and his attitude towards Uchiha. This is something you have to do. I hope you understand."
"Yes."
Kakashi then asked: "As for Naruto..."
"When he goes to school, he won't need to be protected alone during the day. I found him a teacher who can be trusted."
The third generation said lightly, "At night, Tenzo will go to look after him from time to time, you can rest assured."
[Sure enough...]
Kakashi's mouth twitched, [You said you trusted him, but you sent a ninja who can use Wood Release to 'take care' of Naruto? ]
"Okay, now let's go and see how these two little wounded are recovering?"
The third generation showed a kind smile and walked across the corridor and pushed open the door of the ward.
...
It was already past three in the afternoon when Naruto and Giyuu came out of the hospital.
During this period, the parents of the children who maliciously added the blood of the giant millipede to the detergent also came to apologize with their crying or bruised children.
The mastermind, a fifth-grade child, was expelled on the spot by the Third Hokage; the other accomplices were suspended from school for three years and did voluntary labor in the Konoha Hospital before returning to school.
Uzumaki Naruto was a little soft-hearted and wanted to forgive them, but when he turned around and saw Giyuu's expression, he said nothing.
In the end, the two of them each received a compensation of 50,000 taels (purchasing power is about 30,000 RMB), excluding medical expenses.
After leaving the hospital, Giyuu took Naruto straight to the stores that were still a little scared, and began to teach him how to choose fresh vegetables and meat, and then bought a series of basic seasonings such as soy sauce, miso, vinegar, and a frying pan for frying eggs.
After returning to Naruto's house, the previously damaged door had been replaced by the people sent by the Third Hokage.
Giyuu took out the copy of the recipe from his pocket and handed it to Naruto: "Find a simple one from the first ten pages, and I will teach you how to make it."
"Minato-sensei's Secret Recipe?"
Naruto read the words on the cover.
Except for the signature "Uchiha Obito" on the last page, it is really difficult to imitate the charm of this recipe, so Giyuu kept the rest of it, which can be regarded as doing his part to protect the copyright.
Naruto opened the recipe, quickly browsed around, and finally found a familiar dish name.
"This is it--"
He pointed to Giyuu excitedly, "'Ten Times Love Flying Whirlpool Omelet Rice.' The name is very suitable for me."
"Then let's do this."
Giyuu nodded, "Now, I'll teach you how to steam rice..."
At this point, Uzumaki Naruto's nutrition problem was basically solved. Only one or two months would pass before Giyuu could reap the fruits of victory (referring to shiny hair).
But what Giyuu didn't know was that the life of a person he was very familiar with had also entered the countdown.
