Unexpected Concern
When Lin Yan rejected him, Danzo showed no displeasure whatsoever; his expression remained as calm as still water.
Lin Yan explained, "I'm used to being alone."
Danzo understood the unspoken meaning in his words.
Since the other party is unwilling to let us send someone to accompany them, there's no point in forcing it any further.
"I hope you can complete this task."
Danzo said calmly.
Thank you for your kind words.
Lin Yan waved her hand and disappeared in a flash.
He didn't leave Konoha immediately, but went back to find Naruto and Sasuke first.
At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke are waiting for Lin Yan, Uchiha, and the others to return.
"Hey, have you been waiting long?"
Lin Yan suddenly appeared in front of the two little ones and smiled.
"Uncle Lin!"
Naruto jumped up in surprise when he saw Lin Yan.
"The Third Hokage didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
He asked with concern.
Lin Yan chuckled wryly and patted his head, saying, "In normal sparring, injuries are inevitable."
"The Third Hokage isn't some unreasonable person, why is he making things difficult for me?"
Hearing Lin Yan say that, Naruto felt much more at ease.
Sasuke also showed a relaxed expression.
"But, Naruto."
"For the next few days, you'll probably need to train on your own with Sasuke."
Lin Yan suddenly spoke again.
These words caused Naruto and Sasuke to exchange surprised glances, then simultaneously look at Lin Yan in bewilderment.
"What's wrong, Uncle Lin?"
Where are you going?
"Yes, we're going on a mission to a very far place."
"He might not be back for several days."
Lin Yan herself wasn't sure how long she would be gone this time.
Because Danzo's subordinates and Konoha's spies are currently missing and their fates are unknown.
In the worst-case scenario, he would need to find a way to gather the intelligence he had already acquired, which could take a long or short time, and it's hard to say.
Upon hearing Lin Yan say she was going out on a mission, Naruto immediately showed a slightly disappointed expression.
However, he didn't make a fuss.
Because they understood that Lin Yan went out to earn money in order to support her family.
"Uncle Lin, I really want to go on this mission with you..."
Naruto said dejectedly.
"If you want to come with me on a mission, you'd better train hard!"
"Otherwise, without the ability, you'll just be a burden to the team."
"I won't be a loser, Uncle Lin!"
Naruto, unconvinced, clenched his fist and swore an oath.
Sasuke, standing to the side, also wore a very serious and determined look in his eyes.
"Will my brother be going too, Uncle Lin...?"
Sasuke asked.
"Your brother and the others won't be coming with me; they have their own things to take care of."
Lin Yan replied casually.
"Oh..."
Sasuke was much more reserved in front of Lin Yan than Naruto.
At this moment, Lin Yan took out the small bag that Danzo had given her earlier.
"Naruto, take this money."
"Uncle Lin, I... I don't need it."
When Naruto saw the small bag Lin Yan handed him, he quickly waved his hands and then put his hands behind his back, shaking his head repeatedly.
He wasn't embarrassed; he just didn't want to rely on Lin Yan for everything or to take care of him.
Don't let his young age fool you, this little guy already has a sense of self-esteem.
Looking at Naruto's adorable appearance, Lin Yan smiled.
"Take it."
"You're still growing, Naruto. With such intense training every day, you need to make sure you get enough nutrition!"
Seeing that Naruto still didn't seem inclined to take her money, Lin Yan smiled and patted his head again.
"If you feel embarrassed, you can pay Uncle Lin back when you grow up and can earn your own money."
Hearing Lin Yan say that, Naruto finally started to waver.
He nodded, took the small bag Lin Yan handed him, and was immediately stunned after opening it.
"Wow, so much money!"
Naruto stared in shock at the neatly arranged 200,000 taels of silver inside the small bag.
He had never seen so much money in his entire life.
Normally, having a few thousand taels in your pocket each month is considered very, very good.
Lin Yan patted his little head again and smiled, "Anyway, I'm off now."
"Neither of you have eaten yet, have you?"
"Go eat something first, then remember to train on time and don't slack off."
"Naruto, wait for me to come back, and I'll personally test you two!"
"If your strength doesn't improve, I'll assume you're slacking off, and I won't be teaching you any more powerful physical techniques then."
Lin Yan's words had a very noticeable effect.
Sasuke and Naruto immediately adopted serious expressions.
"Uncle Lin! Don't worry! I absolutely won't slack off!"
"I can't either!"
Both Naruto and Sasuke made guarantees.
Lin Yan didn't say anything more, patted Sasuke's head, and then looked at Naruto.
"I'm off!"
After saying that, he vanished in a flash.
In fact, Lin Yan did not leave Konoha immediately.
He went to the Konoha Ninja Hospital.
Regardless of the circumstances, Matt Kay ultimately suffered such a severe blow because of his own actions.
It's only natural to go and visit them.
Lin Yan also bought some fruit on the way.
When Lin Yan arrived at Konoha Hospital, she saw Kakashi still waiting outside the ward.
He walked over to Kakashi and sat down in the chair next to him.
How is Kai doing?
Kakashi turned his head and looked at him, his gaze falling on the fruit in Lin Yan's hand.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Seemingly surprised, Lin Yan would come to visit Matt Kai at this time, bringing fruit.
"The medical ninjas are helping him treat his injuries and examining his internal wounds..."
"However, the situation doesn't seem very optimistic."
Kakashi responded.
He did not blame or complain about Lin Yan.
Because challenging Lin Yan was Matt Kai's own choice at the time.
Lin Yan simply nodded silently, ignoring Kakashi, and instead silently activated her Observation Haki.
He immediately heard sounds coming from inside the ward.
Matt Kay's breathing wasn't too bad; it was relatively stable.
The heartbeat was also strong and powerful.
Even the aura of life force and the aura of strength are still within a safe range.
Meanwhile, he overheard a conversation between several attending medical ninjas in the ward.
"There is no immediate danger to his life."
"However, such injuries are truly rare; it's astonishing that the body could be damaged like this!"
"Yes, his physical abilities are already extremely strong for a ninja. It was the overuse of that taijutsu that led to this. An ordinary person would probably be dead by now..."
"What an admirable guy!"
"So, does anyone have any suggestions for treating his injuries?"
"..."
