Hold on a second!
Although Haku was still young, if Karin joined him, two children roughly equaled one adult. Surely they could handle the job together!
At that critical moment, Shinichi's bizarre train of thought worked its magic again.
As for the man himself, he felt absolutely no shame about the disgraceful act of employing child labor.
But there was always someone craftier.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you."
Tsunade said casually, "Karin has a real talent for Medical Ninjutsu. I've already decided to take her as my apprentice and train her to become the director of Konoha Hospital someday. Heh, I have to say, Shinichi, you really do have a good eye. Not a single child in your household is ordinary."
