At dawn the next day, the sky had only just begun to brighten.
Inside the Uchiha Compound.
Chiyo stretched and looked at Yakushi Nonō, who was still asleep beside him, a patch of snow-white skin exposed.
Her serene, lovely face bore traces left behind by hardship.
"Awake?"
Chiyo muttered softly, but Yakushi Nonō showed no reaction.
He tugged the blanket over her and gently covered her properly.
Then he turned and carefully left the room.
Outside, Chiyo could be heard quietly humming a tune.
Yakushi Nonō's face visibly reddened as she gently pulled the blanket up.
She shyly covered her face.
Sizzle!
He cracked an egg into the pan, and the fragrance of hot oil instantly filled the kitchen.
As he fried it, Chiyo cracked another egg with his other hand and added it to the pan.
Before long, golden fried eggs took shape.
He simply sprinkled some salt over them and took them out of the pan.
Chiyo sliced the warmed bread, placed the fried eggs and lettuce inside, then squeezed on some ketchup.
"That should do it, right?"
Chiyo carried the food out of the kitchen and set it on the table.
Then he waited quietly.
Before long, the system's Prompt Tone rang out.
[congratulations, host, for completing the mission to intercept Yakushi Nonō.]
[Reward obtained: Mastery of Medical Ninjutsu.]
Chiyo only felt a slight warmth of Chakra appear within his body, while knowledge related to Medical Ninjutsu and Chakra flooded into his mind.
Chiyo's eyes gleamed brightly.
"System, open the Character Panel!"
