Eyes, I Want Them, and My Reputation Too!
Three or four days later, the Uchiha incident finally spread to a relatively large area of Konoha, but most people were unaware of the news of the Uchiha rebellion.
What followed was--
The Police Force was reorganized.
On the bulletin board at the street corner, bright words were posted: Thanks to Konoha's ninja education, even the common people in Konoha have an astonishingly high literacy rate.
so.
Everyone was very happy when they saw the text above.
"So, from now on, the Police Force won't just consist of members from the Uchiha Clan?"
"Yes, and their duties are different, so the tasks they do will be quite different. The Konoha Police Force will definitely improve."
"Can civilians join the Police Force?"
The area around the bulletin board was in an uproar.
Police Force.
In the past, they were always a thorn in everyone's side. In their eyes, these people's actions and laws were completely wrong, and the Uchiha Clan became an object of everyone's hatred because of this.
And now.
Ordinary people can actually become members of Konoha's Police Force, and...
Even the allocation of squad leaders was made public.
"If that's the case, our lives will be much easier from now on!"
Everyone was secretly excited.
Clearly, they felt that the problem had previously been more with the Uchiha Clan.
Nearby, some people who had transformed using the Transformation Technique were in a bad mood.
They are naturally from the Uchiha Clan.
The Uchiha clan members felt aggrieved. Although they were arrogant, they had always been conscientious in their duties Police Force and tried their best to follow the rules and regulations.
However.
Do your best and be responsible...
This is the result we got.
Nobody likes them.
In the past, people could respond with "disdain," but the thought of having to work with outsiders in the future makes it hard for them to feel good about it.
"Let's go, we still have work to do back home!"
They left silently.
In the crowd, a boy jumped high with all his might. After a long while, he couldn't see the girl anymore, so he looked at the girl next to him.
"How about you use some magic to cushion my fall?"
"You can't get into the Police Force anyway..."
The girl complained, speechless.
The boy replied, "We can take a look first, at least we'll have a goal."
"You really are..."
As the girl spoke, she formed a hand Hand Seals, and in an instant, red crystals grew from beneath the boy's feet, quickly stacking him on top of her.
The boy saw what was inside, jumped down, and said, "Let's go."
"Not watching anymore?"
It doesn't mean anything.
He shook his head slightly.
Police Force.
Although he wielded considerable power, the work he was assigned there mainly involved trivial matters in the village, which were not what he was after at all.
He took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped.
"By the way, what do you want to do after graduation? Become a ninja, or go back to the Orphanage to help the director and the others?"
"Hmm... if we could go back to the hospital, that would be the best."
The girl answered.
But it feels so difficult!
Guren looked at the crowd.
She knew from a young age that her abilities were invaluable.
The wandering ninja treasured her like a precious gem.
The village went through all that trouble to bring her back from outside; they certainly didn't intend to keep her at home like a precious treasure.
She's definitely going to become a ninja.
"Dou, what about you?"
"I?"
Kabuto Yakushi looked towards Konoha Hospital, "I want to become a great Medical Ninja, to research more Medical Ninjutsu and difficult diseases, so that there will be fewer and fewer orphans!"
Is that so?
Guren fell silent upon hearing this.
Don't you think that's wrong?
"Hmm... I feel that far fewer people die from disease than from war, so medicine probably can't truly... I'm sorry!"
Guren keenly sensed the change in Kabuto Yakushi's emotions.
But these were all her inner thoughts.
Kabuto Yakushi shook his head. "It's nothing. You might be right, but..."
Kabuto Yakushi looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance.
He had no memory of anything before the age of four, but he had a vague feeling that he might also be an orphan of war.
"Go to school."
After walking a few steps, Kabuto Yakushi stopped at a spot on the street.
there...
There was a boy.
The table wasn't particularly luxurious, but its overall ambiance was quite extraordinary.
"Dou, what's wrong?"
Guren followed the gaze, then her eyes lit up, "He's the adult who saved me!"
Kyohiko Yoshimine?
Kabuto Yakushi a deep breath.
Even just looking at them from afar, he felt a sense of disparity, as if they were from different worlds, and he had a vague feeling that they were watching him.
Maybe it's just my imagination...
Let's go.
He walked towards the Orphanage.
However.
He hadn't walked far when he stopped and looked in that direction.
pace...
We're getting closer!
He stopped immediately and bowed. "Sir!"
"You're very perceptive; did you sense that I was observing you?"
Kyohiko looked at the boy in front of him.
Kabuto Yakushi.
During the orphanage after the Battle of Kikyo Mountain, one child was discovered whose exact origin—whether from the Land of Fire or the Land of Wind— is now impossible to verify.
but.
He lost his memory and was later adopted by the Yakushi Nonō. Under the policies of Tsunade and Kyohiko, he was able to attend school.
Now they are part of the Konoha Ninja Academy and Konoha Hospital.
In two more years, he will be able to graduate.
Kabuto is also a student that Kyohiko is closely observing!
After all, Kabuto Yakushi in his previous life displayed tremendous talent and research ability, and such a person is currently the most scarce resource in Konoha.
Upon hearing the question, Kabuto Yakushi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
I have a vague feeling that you are watching me.
"Your senses are very sharp. I've been keeping an eye on your performance and achievements. Your Medical Ninjutsu is quite impressive."
Kyohiko praised, "Are you interested in studying and attending classes at Konoha Hospital? With your age and grades, you're already qualified to go Konoha Hospital."
Is it really possible?
The Kabuto Yakushi's eyes widened several degrees.
No matter how composed or talented he may be, without the rigorous training and countless brilliant missions he has undergone, he is still just a child.
Faced with this unexpected surprise, he couldn't control his emotions.
Kyohiko smiled and nodded, "Of course, you can go back and discuss it with Nonō to decide whether you want to join Konoha Hospital."
"Yes, I will."
The Kabuto Yakushi was overjoyed.
but.
He suddenly remembered what Guren had said earlier, and a thought flashed through his mind, but then he hesitated.
Immediately afterward, a bold idea came to Kabuto Yakushi's mind.
Before he could even formulate his words, they had already spilled out.
"Lord Kyohiko, if I join Konoha Hospital, will I still have a chance to become your subordinate?"
"You want to become my subordinate?"
Kyohiko smiled. "That's quite difficult."
I will try my best!
The Kabuto Yakushi's tone was firm.
Kyohiko said, "Medical Ninja can not only heal the sick, but also kill with Medical Ninjutsu. It all depends on how you use it. And this area is currently unexplored, so you can study it yourself."
"If I can figure this out, perhaps I will take you as my disciple."
Kyohiko spoke earnestly.
Dou immediately nodded, his expression very serious and determined.
"Yes! I will definitely become your disciple!"
The Kabuto Yakushi's face was full of surprise, and he bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude. Kyohiko glanced at Guren, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then turned and left.
Kyohiko's main purpose in coming here was to see the feedback on the reorganization of the Police Force; he only noticed Kabuto Yakushi incidentally.
but.
Since the other party had come up to him, he figured he might as well chat for a bit.
After Kyohiko left, Guren finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "You're so bold, how could you suddenly make such a request?"
"I..."
The Kabuto Yakushi his head, unable to answer for a moment.
He couldn't explain it either.
But at that moment, a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of my heart, and in a moment of impulsiveness, I blurted it out.
Looking back, he was also covered in a cold sweat.
but.
The results were very encouraging!
Kabuto Yakushi thought about it carefully, then looked at Guren and said, "This lord must have overheard our conversation, which is why he gave me those instructions."
"You have such good hearing?"
As Guren spoke, she immediately lowered her voice.
With such good hearing, they could probably hear things even from a great distance...
The Kabuto Yakushi's eyes shone brightly.
Research into Medical Ninjutsu for combat!
This direction is equivalent to the "task" left to him by Kyohiko; as long as he can complete it, he can become Kyohiko's disciple.
I can do it!
"You can go back now. I suddenly thought of something and I'd like to ask my Teacher about it when I get back to school."
Kabuto Yakushi suddenly changed his mind and then Body Flicker Technique ran towards the Konoha Ninja Academy.
Guren called out, then shook her head helplessly and walked ahead towards the Orphanage.
Although she wasn't an orphan, she lived there because her mother, Mami, worked at the Orphanage.
That's how I became acquainted with Kabuto Yakushi.
After all, there aren't many children with ninja talent in the Orphanage; Kabuto Yakushi and Guren are the only promising ones at the moment.
Outside the flower shop on Mingcha Street.
Kyohiko pushed open the door and entered.
"Welcome! Oh, Kyohiko, what brings you here?"
Yuzuki Uzumaki's eyes lit up. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, I've come to ask you and Aunt Liye some more professional knowledge, related to flowers."
Kyohiko explained.
The Flower World Emergence could cause unconsciousness through its pollen, which suddenly made him realize that pollen might have more than one use, for example—
Psychedelic, hypnotic, or other similar effects.
Just as the Amber Jutsu is derived from resin.
With further research and development, it may be possible to grasp an even wider range of pollen capabilities.
Kyohiko came for this reason.
After hearing Kyohiko's request, Yamanaka Rino looked completely bewildered.
She was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's true that the Yamanaka Clan studies flowers, but they mostly use them to sell flowers; they don't have much in-depth research on these things. Perhaps the Nara Clan knows more."
"Nara Clan?"
Kyohiko pondered for a moment, then nodded.
really.
The Nara Clan is an expert in pharmacology, and they might even know more about it than the Yamanaka Clan.
He got up to leave.
Yuzuki Uzumaki said, "I know there's a flower in Uzushio Village that seems to have hallucinogenic effects. We used to use it for medical support, but I don't know if it's still there."
"Uzushio Village?"
Kyohiko pondered for a moment.
Reaper Death Seal Mask, flowers.
That place is definitely worth a visit!
He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "I understand. I'll go to the Nara Clan first. If I need to go back later... would you like to go back and visit them?"
Yuzuki Uzumaki was stunned for a moment.
Then, she nodded calmly, "If I can go, that would be great, but it's okay if I can't."
Yuzuki has relatively let go of her feelings about Uzushio Village.
She was quite composed.
We should live for the present, not dwell on the past.
"Good."
Kyohiko then vanished in Body Flicker Technique.
The Nara Clan provided several types of flowers for reference. After expressing his gratitude, Kyohiko returned to Orochimaru's research institute with the fresh flowerpots.
After sending himself along with the Flying Thunder God Orochimaru remained expressionless and didn't even turn his head.
"Kyohiko, this isn't a garbage dump..."
"These are all very valuable materials, and we need to combine them with the materials you have here for research."
Kyohiko coughed lightly to explain.
Orochimaru turned around.
Although he didn't say anything, his eyes conveyed a message like, "You better be telling the truth."
"I'm thinking about whether it's possible to develop more practical Wood Release Ninjutsu using less Chakra, such as simulating pollen with hallucinogenic effects..."
Kyohiko explained his research direction.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and said, "Psychedelic pollen?"
"Yes, unlike ordinary Genjutsu, these drugs are much more difficult to overcome, and in some situations, they may even be more useful."
Kyohiko added.
Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
This research is indeed quite valuable.
He watched as Kyohiko threw down a Wood Clone and prepared to leave, when he suddenly called out to him.
"By the way, could we perhaps take a look at the Uchiha's Sharingan?"
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.
The fusion of White Zetsu Cells can produce a variety of changes.
He was so curious about those eyes!
Kyohiko thought for a moment and said, "I have to go ask..."
"Tch, there's no way Fugaku would agree to let you do experiments."
Orochimaru was speechless.
ask?
Isn't that just asking for a beating?!
Kyohiko shook his head. "It definitely wouldn't have worked before, but it might not work now. Besides, even if we don't do the experiment, I'll definitely have to discuss it with him first."
"What's up?"
"The Sharingan must be sealed or destroyed; otherwise, given the opponent's stealth capabilities, they might be able to take the Sharingan from the corpse right under our noses."
Kyohiko said.
"You mean, Madara's subordinates?"
"The price of Izanagi..."
Kyohiko reminded him.
Orochimaru understood.
Izanagi came at the cost of losing one eye, so having more Sharingan means having more potential for recovery.
From this perspective, it's entirely possible that Madara would do such a thing.
but.
The next moment, he smiled and said, "We can do that too!"
"You want to just go and take the eyes?"
Kyohiko understood what the other person meant.
Orochimaru nodded. "We can also frame them!"
"No."
Kyohiko shook his head in rejection.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Kyohiko, you're getting more and more pedantic!"
"No, this isn't being old-fashioned; it's about following basic rules. Otherwise, while we could secretly take the Sharingan, if it's exposed, the entire village's reputation will suffer."
Kyohiko replied seriously, "If we want to expand the village, we have to consider this aspect!"
"That..."
"Don't worry, he'll come. We'll take it then!"
Kyohiko sneered.
Black Zetsu is undetectable to him and can move freely in Konoha, but can Black Zetsu guarantee that he won't be noticed when he takes something?
He simply couldn't believe that Black Zetsu and Madara could Sharingan!
This is also why he hasn't killed the people in the Anbu Guard prison yet.
After their execution, these people would be buried in the cemetery.
The more you go in, the greater the chance of being robbed!
Let's keep it for now, and only act here after Jue makes his move.
