The Active Little Veterinarian

Hiruzen Sarutobi was in a good mood.

He chuckled, remembering Danzō's startled expression when he'd suddenly appeared while Danzō was sitting in the Hokage's seat… Hehehe… Scaring people is fun!

However, out of consideration for their friendship and Konoha's current state, he hadn't chosen to deal with his old friend. Konoha's foundations weren't exactly robust right now…

When Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui arrived at his office, Hiruzen Sarutobi's kindly expression cracked inch by inch. He said with a grave face, "A strange person who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique… Are you sure, Kakashi?"

"I am Minato-sensei's disciple," Kakashi said solemnly, his meaning clear.

"Hmm… Did you find anything particular?"

"His chakra levels are comparable to any Jonin, he uses the Flying Thunder God Technique with proficiency, possesses great strength and speed, and has a high level of secrecy awareness…" Kakashi mused, recalling the strange person's combat performance, and wondered, "But, he doesn't seem to have undergone ninja training…"

"What do you mean?"

"The taijutsu and swordsmanship he used were all full of openings, and he lacked combat experience… Secondly, throughout the entire battle, apart from the Flying Thunder God Technique, he didn't use any ninjutsu, and even his shuriken throwing accuracy was very low…"

Kakashi glanced at Shisui beside him as he spoke.

The other source of information, a shuriken prodigy, was even more perplexed. "According to my calculations, his shuriken throws posed no threat whatsoever…"

He's a powerful ninja, yet he can't even throw a basic shuriken. Apart from his Flying Thunder God Technique, everything else is a disgrace to the ninja profession…

"…I understand. It really is like him!" Hiruzen Sarutobi habitually picked up his pipe. "Kakashi, Shisui, you two should go back and rest well. Just maintain secrecy!"

Hatake Kakashi: "……"

"I apologize, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Shisui knelt on one knee. This responsibility truly fell on him. "Perhaps Fugaku-senpai's family will also learn of this news…"

Shisui could only recount the story of that troublesome crow once again.

"…Is that so?" Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly picked up a document from his desk, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the trash can. "It doesn't matter. After you return, please relay one thing to Fugaku."

"Yes!"

"The Konoha Police Force's headquarters doesn't need to relocate for now. They still need to maintain village security. It's not good to be too far from the village."

The Third Hokage said this in a deep voice, exhaling a thick smoke ring. The smoke enveloped him, obscuring his expression…

Shisui nodded. "Understood! But I heard that the clan has already begun construction of the Police Force's office building at the new clan grounds…"

"It's a small matter. As the captain of the Police Force, he can allocate it himself."

Uchiha Fugaku was still deep in thought at home, pondering how to investigate this matter privately. After all, someone had attempted to assassinate the Hokage… Just hearing about it made him feel… This was truly exciting!

Relying on crows to keep secrets is impossible. It's impossible in this lifetime… He has to embellish the things he's worked so hard to do.

A powerful Wood Style prodigy… A strange user of the Flying Thunder God Technique… A group of attackers capable of rivaling the Anbu elite… Fugaku was stunned when he heard Itachi's explanation.

If nothing else, a Wood Style ninja was enough to shock people.

Throughout the ninja world, apart from Konoha's First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, there had never been a second Wood Style ninja… And how powerful was Wood Style? For example, think about the Uchiha during the Warring States period!

Whenever people mentioned Wood Style, they would habitually curse the Uchiha… Have you heard of Konoha's Sharingan clan? That's the number one kekkei genkai in the ninja world!

Yet, during the Warring States period, they were constantly beaten by Senju Hashirama's Wood Style, eventually forced to surrender and join Konoha. Even the clan leader, the Ninja God Uchiha Madara, was killed by Senju Hashirama… There was still a statue at the Valley of the End!

…Becoming a backdrop for the powerful strength of the Ninja God is something many people dream of! For example, a certain financial expert probably loves to say that he once fought the First Hokage and retreated unharmed…

The Uchiha clan isn't like those people. They would find this too heartbreaking… According to the crow's information, there's a Wood Style ninja within Konoha. Fugaku's feelings can be imagined.

"Hey, Fugaku-kun, did something happen?" Uchiha Mikoto sat beside her husband, handing him a cup of hot tea. "After Beiyuan came back, you seemed preoccupied."

"Just some minor issues in the clan, huu…" Fugaku blew on the hot tea, shaking his head. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll be resting the day after tomorrow, so I can help out at home…"

"Can you?"

"I think so… And them?"

Uchiha Mikoto put a finger to her lips. "Shh, Sasuke finally fell asleep in his room… Itachi took Beiyuan out…"

"Ah? I forgot to tell them not to spread the word about what just happened." Fugaku, who had already roughly guessed the suspect, really didn't want to stir up any more trouble.

"Itachi is very smart…"

Although Uchiha Itachi was young, with his intelligence, he would realize that the assassination attempt on the Hokage was not something to be discussed in public.

Everyone knew that Fugaku's eldest son was exceptionally intelligent, except for the crow beside him… It thought Uchiha Itachi's brain was a bit off today.

It was just a little girl who patted his shoulder, telling him that the crow on him might be sick and that she was a veterinarian who could help. Uchiha Itachi actually believed her!

"I've treated many animals!" The little girl reached out and placed her hand on the crow. "Your crow looks listless, and its heart rate is abnormal. It might have been frightened…"

Uchiha Itachi thought for a second and nodded. "Yes."

"Fortunately, you met me today…" The little girl confidently took out her medical kit, which looked quite professional.

Caw!

The crow struggled desperately in the little boy's arms… It was just that its emotions were out of sorts!

After the excitement of the battle subsided, the panic of having killed those few Anbu ninjas surged up… Beiyuan comforted himself, They definitely weren't innocent… But that palpitating feeling wouldn't easily go away.

Who would have thought Konoha had such meddlesome little doctors…

"First, gently stroke the animal's spine to help it relax…"

"Then, find the animal's blood vessels…"

"Give it one last sedative shot!"

"Caw!"

The crow, which had been slightly relaxed, instantly cleared its head and thrashed its body desperately. What kind of person treats psychological problems with physical therapy? She's the one with the problem!

Uchiha Itachi held the crow tightly, looking at the thick needle in the little girl's hand. "Um? Are you sure you can do this?"

"Of course! I've mixed the sedative myself! Let it get a good night's sleep, and during hibernation, the animal's body will automatically adjust…" The little girl spoke with great conviction.

If you ignored her age and the syringe in her hand, and also discounted her patient, Beiyuan would have found the little girl's words quite reasonable… As an observer, Uchiha Itachi was convinced.

However, a big guy had saved Beiyuan…

There is no doctor in the world who can cure all diseases, so trouble will always follow… even a small veterinarian is no exception!

"Inuzuka Hana! So you're here, I finally found you!"

"After you finished treating my McGonagall last time, it started limping!"

Inuzuka Hana, Kiba's older sister, was around the same age as Itachi's peers… It's another day for requesting recommendation tickets.
