Chapter 197 Kabuto Yakushi, Reunited with Nono Yakushi at the Orphanage

Chapter 197 Kabuto Yakushi, Reunited with Nono Yakushi at the Orphanage (3k)

That means even if someone investigates, they won't find anything.

The thought of having hundreds of thousands more in the sealing scroll gave Tsunade an urge to continue gambling.

Kiyoshi is right.

They won so much because of her luck.

If she doesn't come, then she'll definitely use the last chip herself.

"Lady Tsunade, we still have a mission to carry out."

Kiyoshi noticed that Tsunade seemed eager to try, and immediately spoke up.

"Okay, okay."

Tsunade waved her hand.

He took off his green robe, revealing a ninja combat suit underneath. His torso was covered in a layer of metallic armor, and he also had corresponding arm guards on his wrists.

Even so, the exaggerated curve is still visible.

"it is good."

Kiyoshi nodded and followed Tsunade out.

Only the gamblers remained, whispering amongst themselves.

They had no objection to Kiyoshi giving half the money to Tsunade.

On the contrary, they expect this big fat sheep to continue to send money.

That way, we can get back the half that Kiyoshi won.

…………

The mission takes place outside the Land of Fire.

The first thing Kiyoshi and Tsunade needed to do was leave the territory of the Land of Fire.

"Lady Tsunade, is it rumored that the First Hokage knew Sage Mode?"

Of the three sacred sites, the Wet Bone Forest is the most mysterious.

Many people have visited both Mount Myoboku and Yongchi Cave.

Aside from the emergence of the lively slugs, there is no other description of the Shikugaku Forest.

Even whether Hashirama's Sage Technique is actually from the Shikkotsu Forest needs to be carefully examined.

"Orochimaru talked to you about this?"

As Tsunade used the tree trunks for leverage to leap and move forward, she glanced at Kiyoshi.

She knew that Orochimaru and Kiyoshi had been getting close lately.

Coincidentally, the three known as the "Three Ninjas" received different inheritances from the three holy lands.

Jiraiya successfully mastered "Sage Mode," while she and Orochimaru failed.

Moreover, Orochimaru seems to have paid some kind of price.

Unlike the slug, the White Snake Sage has a gentle temperament; he's a ninja beast that has devoured many people.

If it weren't for its reputation as a sacred place and its magical arts, it might be seen as a demon.

"I did say that."

Kiyoshi did not deny it.

"I've heard that magic can increase the power of all spells several times over, is that true?"

Kiyoshi pretended to know only a little and asked questions.

Tsunade nodded and said:

"That's right, but it's extremely difficult to learn. Apart from Jiraiya, who flaunts his abilities everywhere, no one has successfully mastered Sage Mode."

Tsunade's tone was indifferent, and she didn't seem to have any desire for Sage Mode.

Even Jiraiya's Sage Mode requires summoning two toads to work together.

Studying magic arts is not as good as continuing to hone your skills in your own area of ​​expertise.

"What I want to know is, can medical ninjutsu be amplified?"

Kiyoshi's next words startled Tsunade, who was hurrying along.

This is a completely new perspective.

"Maybe."

Tsunade said uncertainly.

"Is it possible to revive someone using only a small amount of their genetic material, using medical ninjutsu enhanced with Sage Mode?"

Kiyoshi spoke again.

With genetic material and the use of immense life force to induce regeneration, it is theoretically possible to resurrect the recipient's physical body.

Just like the "Self-Reincarnation" technique, but her medium is the original owner's puppet, and the price is all of her chakra.

Kiyoshi was actually thinking about whether he could make up for the loss of ordinary chakra with Sage Chakra.

All you need to do is create multiple shadow clones like Naruto to act as sage chakra batteries.

This way, the person won't be completely drained.

"That's probably not something that can be done with just a little chakra."

Two figures, one tall and one short, flashed through Tsunade's eyes.

One was her former romantic interest, and the other was her closest younger brother.

Unfortunately, both of them are dead.

Tsunade's initial joy at winning money was quickly dampened.

They just kept their heads down and rushed on their way.

Kiyoshi remained silent and followed Tsunade on her journey.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became quiet.

It wasn't until much later that Tsunade said with a sigh:

"If only it were possible."

"yes."

Kiyoshi echoed Tsunade's sentiments.

If you were to ask what Tsunade's deepest wish is, it would definitely be to revive those two men!

Orochimaru went to Tanabata Street and said that after he could be resurrected, he would destroy Konoha, which made Tsunade waver.

It took her a whole week to decide to reject Orochimaru.

If the Impure World Reincarnation Technique did not require sacrifices, Orochimaru would not have needed to destroy Konoha.

Tsunade's final answer was predictable.

Of course, Kiyoshi currently has no intention of reviving Kato Dan and Nawaki.

He just wanted to make an impression on Tsunade.

Once I've mastered Ryuchi Cave's "Sage Mode," I can use that as a starting point to get Tsunade to take me to Shikkotsu Forest.

As for whether this theory can ultimately revive people, Kiyoshi doesn't know; he's only interested in making empty promises.

If the cake didn't come out, it must be because "Sage Mode" isn't perfect enough. Tsunade, you'll have to find the one from Mount Myōboku for me...

…………

"They must be kids from that village, the place where the war started."

A child wearing a green hat looked at the dean in front of him.

They were standing not far from the boundary between scorched earth and green land.

Beyond the scorched earth lay a ruin of buildings burned down, still emitting smoke.

"What should we do, Dean? This guy doesn't look like he'll live much longer. Should we take him back?"

The voluptuous woman in the black nun's habit in front of them simply smiled upon hearing this and said:

"Urushi, his injuries are much less severe than yours were back then."

She placed her hands on the head of the unconscious child who was leaning against a broken tree.

A pale green light suddenly appeared in her palm.

The unconscious child gradually showed signs of waking up, and the nun's hazy face appeared in his eyes.

"Don't worry, even though I look like this, I still know a little bit of medical ninjutsu."

Yakushi Nono said.

The child in front of him looked blank and kept shaking his head.

Yakushi Nonou called to Urushi behind her to help support the child.

"You're lucky. Come and put your arm around my shoulder."

Seeing that the dean had already spoken, Uluxi had no choice but to help the dazed child, who was about the same age as him.

The group then headed toward the orphanage.

…………

An hour later.

"Has the war spread here already?"

Tsunade frowned.

Next to the few broken trees in front was a destroyed village.

She didn't sense any living person's presence.

This suggests that the people in the village may have already suffered misfortune.

Faced with such an offensive, few villagers survived.

"There's an orphanage up ahead, let's go check it out."

Kiyoshi made the suggestion.

There was a small village ten kilometers away from here, where they temporarily resupplyed before continuing their journey.

Along the way, we learned that a new orphanage had recently opened here.

With the support of the Land of Fire and Konoha, many orphans were sent there.

The dean was a beautiful and gentle blonde woman who wore round-framed glasses.

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi knew that it was Yakushi Nonou!

Then Kiyoshi proposed the idea of ​​taking this route.

This route doesn't conflict with the final route to the border, and Tsunade didn't refuse it.

And so, the scene we see today came about.

"Alright."

Tsunade nodded with a complicated expression.

Come to think of it, she had never been to an orphanage before.

Her parents, grandfather, great-uncle, and other close relatives all died one after another when she was young.

After that, her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, took care of her, along with Kushina Uzumaki.

To this day, she is all alone among her relatives within three generations.

The Senju clan no longer exists.

…………

"From now on, you will live here. That means from today onwards, I am your mother."

Yakushi Nonou smiled, a pure smile reflecting the glory of her alma mater, and patted Kabuto on the shoulder.

Around her was a group of children of similar age, all gathered around Yakushi Nonou.

"But it's inconvenient that this guy doesn't have a name."

"Uruxi said."

"Yes... what should we call him?"

Yakushi Nonou adjusted her glasses, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Hmm... Kabuto... how about this name? You can share the same surname as me, Yakushi."

Yakushi Nonou spoke gently.

The children around them chimed in with their opinions.

"Did the dean name it a bit too casually?"

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication..."

Kabuto didn't care about the noise from the others.

He stared blankly at Yakushi Nonou's saintly compassion.

For the first time, I was deeply moved.

This is... a woman who could be his mother.

Yakushi Kabuto's blank expression finally changed, and he revealed a smile.

Before anyone else could say anything, an elderly caregiver with square-framed glasses and completely naked, his white hair combed neatly, entered from outside.

"Dean, there are two ninjas outside who want to see you."

"Ninja..."

Yakushi Nonou frowned slightly.

"who are they?"

"There was a black-haired man who claimed to be Uchiha Kiyoshi."

"...Is it Kiyoshi?"

Yakushi Nonou subconsciously clenched her hands.

Yakushi Kabuto's right shoulder suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Yakushi Nonou realized her lapse in composure and quickly apologized to Yakushi Kabuto.

Even an unconscious act by a ninja is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

She quickly went outside.

The others in the orphanage looked at each other in bewilderment.

This was the first time they had ever seen the dean lose his composure like this, and they couldn't help but wonder who Uchiha Kiyoshi was.

One of the children, who knew a little more, spoke up:

"The Uchiha are an extremely powerful clan among ninjas!"

The children were immediately amazed.

Any random ninja master would be someone they would respect, but now it's a master among ninja masters?

Kabuto watched in bewilderment as Nono Yakushi left, his nearsighted eyes only able to make out blurry shapes.

But he still felt a sense of loss.

Uchiha Kiyoshi, is it that your mother... the headmaster cares about you so much?

"Nonou-sensei, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Seiji smiled.

Tsunade was also surprised. She knew that Yakushi Nonou had retired and found a secluded place to live in seclusion.

I never expected it would be to open an orphanage.

"Kiyoshi, you've changed so much."

Yakushi Nonou sighed.

Undeniably, after so much time has passed, Kiyoshi has grown taller and more handsome.

But a faint scent of blood began to linger around him.

This is a problem that every ninja who has been on the battlefield and killed people has to face.
