First, Rin Takakura was a disciple of the Third Hokage's wife, a very powerful identity. Second, Rin Takakura Genji Ryōma worked with Genji Ryōma Rin Takakura, who trusted her implicitly.
Finally, Rin Takakura and Kōki had a very good relationship; in her eyes, Kōki was a genius who could do anything.
In conclusion, the most suitable person to help Kōki is Rin Takakura.
Having found a suitable candidate, Kōki immediately left his lounge to search for Rin Takakura.
He realized the situation was urgent; distributing the antidote sooner would allow the poisoned ninjas to recover quickly and give them an advantage on the battlefield.
He soon found Rin Takakura, who was racking her brains to find a cure for the poison, in a makeshift drug research room.
Upon seeing Rin Takakura, Kōki immediately said to her, " Sister Rin, I need to ask you for a favor. Could you come out for a moment?"
Seeing that it was Kōki who called her, Rin Takakura followed Kōki outside the drug research room without hesitation, and asked Kōki with a curious look, " Kōki, is there something you need?"
She found it strange that Kōki, who usually stayed in his room during his days off, would suddenly come to see her. And why did he act so mysteriously, as if he didn't want anyone else to know?
This immediately gave Rin Takakura a bad feeling; was Kōki going to cause trouble?
" Sister Rin, I have some news for you, but you have to promise me you won't get excited." Kōki wasn't quite sure about Rin Takakura's personality and was afraid that if she told Rin Takakura about the antidote, she would scream excitedly and attract other people's attention.
But he never expected that his cautious expression would only confirm Rin Takakura's suspicion that he had caused trouble.
Having figured out Kōki's anxiety after getting into trouble, Rin Takakura said to Kōki with some concern, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely keep it a secret for you."
At this moment, Rin Takakura's mind was filled with the scene of Kōki crying and begging her for help.
For a moment, a hint of panic crossed her face. She was worried about what Kōki had done wrong. At the same time, she was also worried about whether her small frame could help Kōki solve his problem.
"Keep it a secret? Hmm, it does need to be kept a secret, but that's not the point. What I wanted to say was..."
Kōki found Rin Takakura's words a bit strange, and seeing her worried expression, he was even more puzzled. He couldn't help but wonder if he had said something wrong.
As expected, Kōki's answer further confirmed Rin Takakura's suspicions: Kōki must have gotten into serious trouble to ask him for help.
After all, in terms of the closest relationship, she's the only one on the front lines.
With this in mind, Rin Takakura made up her mind that no matter how big a mess Kōki made, she had to take the blame for him, not for anything else, but just so that Kōki would call her "older sister".
While Rin Takakura was lost in thought, Kōki himself was practically parched from talking. He looked at Rin Takakura's listless eyes and his forehead covered in black lines, realizing that Rin Takakura hadn't heard a single word he'd said.
This left Kōki speechless. He shook Rin Takakura's body violently, " Sister Rin, Sister Rin, did you hear what I said?"
Finally, under Kōki's violent shaking, Rin Takakura snapped out of her reverie. Seeing Kōki before her, tears streamed down her face as she hugged Kōki. " Kōki, you have to be alright, you..."
Faced with this sudden situation, Kōki was completely bewildered. He had no idea what had happened to Rin Takakura that could make her lose control of her emotions and cry so bitterly.
Unbeknownst to Kōki, Rin Takakura had already deduced from his cautious movements that he had gotten himself into serious trouble, and even imagined him being forced to defect from Konoha.
If Kōki knew what Rin Takakura was thinking, he would definitely admire her boundless imagination and would directly suggest that Rin Takakura quit the hopeless profession of medical-nin and devote herself to the great path of literary creation, competing with Jiraiya for the title of the greatest writer in the Shinobi World.
" Sister Rin, what's on your mind? Why are you so agitated?" Kōki patted Rin Takakura, who was hugging him, and asked with a mix of helplessness and curiosity.
Rin Takakura, who was holding Kōki, felt a little embarrassed after hearing Kōki's question. She knew she had lost her composure, so she let go of Kōki and looked at Kōki with a flushed face after calming down.
She was too embarrassed to tell Kōki what she had imagined, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um, Kōki, what were you going to say? I was just spacing out, sorry."
Seeing Rin Takakura's embarrassed expression, unwilling to reveal anything, Kōki could only shake his head and say again, " Sister Rin, I said I've cracked the Sunagakure's poison and successfully developed the antidote. I hope you can help me persuade Uncle Genji to distribute my antidote."
"So it's just about persuading Uncle Genji? I thought it was something serious, why were you being so cautious?" Rin Takakura patted his chest to assure him as soon as he heard that Kōki only wanted to persuade Genji Ryōma.
But before she could take a few pats, she suddenly remembered that Kōki had just said something incredible, and she stammered, "You, you said, Wh-what? You've developed an antidote?"
"Um"
In response to Rin Takakura Rin's Kōki, he simply nodded.
Upon seeing Kōki nod in agreement, Rin Takakura's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed in surprise, " Kōki, you really developed an antidote, the kind that can counteract the Sunagakure poison?"
"Yes, but Sister Rin, please don't be so loud. My antidote can indeed neutralize the Sunagakure's poison, but we still need to verify it."
Although Kōki himself experimented on the medicine, it did indeed neutralize the Sunagakure.
However, it could also be due to his unique physical condition.
Therefore, other people must try it before we can conclude that this antidote is suitable for everyone.
After receiving Kōki's affirmation once again, Rin Takakura, looking surprised and excited, took a deep breath, then grabbed Kōki's hand and pulled him to a secluded corner.
Then, with a serious expression, he asked, " Kōki, are you sure? This is no joke. You should know how much effort our entire medical unit has put into this deadly poison. What if I report your information to Uncle Genji, and after all their painstaking testing, they find that what you provided is completely useless? Then both of us will be sinners against Konoha."
Rin Takakura truly trusted Kōki and understood his Kōki well.
But this matter was far too important, concerning the safety of all the ninjas on the front lines of Konoha. She couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest.
