Sarutobi Ryo's residence.
Nohara Rin had just arrived to examine Hyuga Ruri's pregnancy.
After probing with her medical chakra, Nohara Rin discovered that the fetus was developing well and had no defects.
The ninja world… medical ninjutsu was such a convenient thing.
Even if there were problems with the baby, they could be detected in advance.
"Congratulations, Miss Ruri…"
Nohara Rin removed her right hand from Ruri's wrist, her tone containing not only blessings but also a hint of something indescribable.
"…"
Hyuga Ruri nodded slightly, acknowledging the thanks.
"We'll be relying on Rin for regular check-ups from now on," Yamanaka Yui said with a smile, her hand on Nohara Rin's shoulder.
Sarutobi Ryo, watching the interaction between the three girls, had a faraway look in his eyes.
Once the three finished chatting, Yamanaka Yui accompanied Hyuga Ruri back to her room, and the spacious living room was suddenly left with only Sarutobi Ryo and Nohara Rin.
"Rin, thank you for your hard work."
Sarutobi Ryo nodded, acknowledging Rin's arrival.
She must have thought long and hard before coming here.
"Um, Young Master Ryo…" Nohara Rin looked up at Sarutobi Ryo.
It was the awakening of love in a young girl.
Sarutobi Ryo saw the young girl's demeanor clearly.
Clearly, Nohara Rin didn't want to give up the feelings in her heart.
Emotions were something in the heart that no one could erase.
"Miss Ruri, her… and your child are very healthy…"
Nohara Rin thought for a moment and used this as the opening line for their conversation.
But everyone knew that she had ulterior motives.
Guess I'll have to make the first move... Sarutobi Ryo thought.
After all, he couldn't let the shy girl confess.
So…
"Cough, cough, Rin, after continuous battles on the battlefield, my body feels slightly unwell…"
Sarutobi Ryo coughed, feigning discomfort.
Nohara Rin's eyes lit up quickly, finding a path to move forward.
This ambiguous, indescribable thing was called… ambiguity.
Sometimes, things didn't need to be said so clearly; a simple hint was enough for both to understand.
So, Sarutobi Ryo invited Nohara Rin to the underground secret room to give him a thorough diagnosis.
Nohara Rin nodded immediately, using the excuse of examining his body. Sarutobi Ryo quickly went underground with Nohara Rin.
As the two passed through the barrier, the entrance closed.
Everything… seemed to be hidden below.
Flickering candlelight illuminated the pitch-black underground.
Sarutobi Ryo arrived next to a chair and, instead of sitting down himself, patted the back of the chair, signaling Nohara Rin to sit down.
Nohara Rin was puzzled, but she still walked over and slowly sat down.
Once she was seated, Sarutobi Ryo began to examine her face.
It was the beginning of a girl's growth.
Unknowingly, Nohara Rin had also become more beautiful.
Of course, her short stature was still a bit lacking due to her age.
This height of less than 1.5 meters reminded Sarutobi Ryo of Ringo Ameyuri.
In the Ninja World, Anbu Squad Six's smooth success was thanks in no small part to Ringo Ameyuri's tip-offs.
For example, Ringo Ameyuri was involved in finding the Sunagakure front-line intelligence base where Ebizo was located last time.
He must find time to thank her properly in the future.
Thinking this, Sarutobi Ryo walked up to Nohara Rin.
Before Nohara Rin could react, a rustling sound rang out.
Soon, some symptoms were displayed in front of Nohara Rin.
"Rin, I've got a problem down here... it's quite swollen…"
The terrible condition left Nohara Rin stunned on the spot.
Because she hadn't expected such a development.
As a skilled medical ninja, Nohara Rin naturally had studied many conditions and had sufficient knowledge of the human body.
However, this condition was clearly beyond the norm.
Most people couldn't possibly… swell up… so badly… so big…
"Rin, can you help me treat it?"
Sarutobi Ryo slowly took a step forward, moving closer.
The affected area was directly displayed in front of Nohara Rin.
The girl's eyes were wide.
In the darkness, the candlelight flickered, and Sarutobi Ryo's expression slowly disappeared.
He looked calmly at the girl sitting in the chair before him, waiting for Nohara Rin's reply.
Underground secret room.
At this moment, even if Nohara Rin wanted to leave, she couldn't immediately get away.
Because from the moment she arrived, some things were destined to happen.
She had already made a decision and taken a tentative step.
Then, he would use thunderous means to capture her immediately.
So…
"!"
Nohara Rin tremblingly raised her small hand and, in confirmation of Sarutobi Ryo's condition as a patient, began to slowly caress the affected area, examining the condition.
After some investigation, Nohara Rin understood that Young Master Ryo was poisoned.
So…
So…
"W-we need to suck out the toxins," Sarutobi Ryo said meaningfully, looking at the medical girl who was both touching him and still trembling.
Nohara Rin: "Ugh~!"
In the next moment, without hesitation, the patient and the medical ninja cooperated, and the treatment to remove the toxins began…
----
Uchiha Clan Residence.
Back at home, Obito's head became increasingly itchy.
Until… something seemed to grow out of his body.
"Wah~!"
When he saw a tree branch appear, he was completely stunned.
Wh-what's going on~~!
Obito was about to scream in fright.
Someone walked right in; Obito was always so careless about closing the door.
Namikaze Minato kindly closed the door for him and then walked into the courtyard.
As soon as he reached the living room, he saw Obito with tree branches growing out of his body, and for a moment… Namikaze Minato was also stunned.
Then, he realized that Obito… had awakened the Wood Release power.
"Obito."
Namikaze Minato, who had been having a headache due to the Hokage Election, now had his eyes light up quickly, as if he saw a possibility of hope.
With Senior Fugaku killed in battle and the Uchiha clan without a leader, in theory, they would have to wait at least until Uchiha Shisui grew up.
However, in this second-round world, Obito was saved by him, and… he had awakened the power of Wood Release so quickly!
This was really… great!
Thoughts flashed through Namikaze Minato's mind, and he instantly thought of many things and possibilities.
"Obito."
"Minato-sensei… Wah~~! I've turned into a monster~~!" Obito immediately looked over and shouted loudly.
Sensei, look away!
