Chapter 113: Do You Want to Learn Medical Ninjutsu from Me?
Perhaps it was the damn system, which had been offline for so long, that heard what Kakashi said.
Or maybe it was because he had become a bit lazy after dealing with that old bastard Danzo. In fact, there were still two old bastards from the council of elders alive in Konoha. This led to the system finally issuing its second quest after Kakashi finished speaking.
Yahiko, who was in the middle of discussing the key points of the meeting and what areas of his own theory needed improvement with the person before him, suddenly saw the silver-haired young man staring intently in a certain direction, as if something incredible had appeared there. But when Yahiko looked in that direction, he found nothing.
After a moment, Kakashi came back to his senses, somewhat speechless. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he let out a long sigh and left the Amegakure village.
Quest: Before the end of the Third Great Ninja War, defeat the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage. Mission Success: Chakra (Ryumyaku) cap +30 K-points. Mission Failure: Chakra (Ryumyaku) cap -30 K-points.
Doing a quick calculation, he was currently at 28 K-points. If he didn't undertake the mission, his chakra would go directly into the negative. He didn't know if he would die, but he would definitely become useless.
It really lived up to the name of this system's chakra unit.
Although the mission stated to defeat the Third Raikage and Third Tsuchikage before the end of the Third Great Ninja War, in reality, these two would start fighting in a month. If the Third Raikage was dragged to his death by those ten thousand men, the mission would be an instant failure.
This time, he had to intervene in the war between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, no matter what. The Land of Rain had just had a period of peace, and now a mission like this comes up.
Then I'll just be frank with Yahiko and the others and tell them I need to participate in the war. It would be great if Nagato could go with me.
Kakashi thought to himself. The system mission couldn't be canceled, so he could only do his best to complete it. He didn't know what the ultimate goal of this system was.
Taking out his key to open the door, an even more horrifying thing happened the moment he entered. The silver-haired young man tried hard to control his facial expression, not wanting to make any overly conspicuous movements.
Mei Terumi stood up from the newly bought wartime luxury item (a sofa), happily waving the new gift she had received at the person who had just entered—a bracelet made of some unknown gemstone.
"Mei, I don't remember you having a habit of bringing strangers home, do you?"
"Eh? This is our new neighbor, Nonō Yakushi. She's also from Konoha, so you're from the same hometown!"
"Of course I know that."
Kakashi put on his slippers and entered the house. He smelled the jasmine fragrance lingering in the air. Sara was cooking again.
"She just arrived in the Land of Rain. She's a very good person."
Indeed, from her appearance, anyone who didn't know the true identity of this white-robed nun would be deceived by her looks. Not everyone had this kind of saintly aura. It easily aroused goodwill in others, including but not limited to other women.
After Kakashi entered, aside from a flicker of surprise at the beginning, Nonō Yakushi had been wearing a harmless smile.
Regarding the point that "she is a very good person," the silver-haired young man surprisingly found himself unable to refute it. Because she, who had come to Amegakure only wanting to take care of children, was indeed no threat at all.
"How did you two meet?"
"Ah, Sara and I had just finished a mission and were about to go to the snack street to buy some snacks. Sister Nonō was on the street, handing out dango to children by the roadside who wanted to eat but had no money. We watched her for a long time, and it turned out she thought we wanted dango too."
"I think you really did want dango."
"No, no, I can buy my own! Then Sister Nonō came over and gave us two skewers of dango and also gave us two good-luck bracelets."
"...And you were bought over just like that?"
"No, we didn't plan to accept them at first, but it turned out those were the last two. Later, on our way back, we found out she was going the same way as us, so we invited her to be a guest at our house."
"Alright."
Only then did Kakashi remember that all the formal members were assigned to the same area. Even the Uchiha clan's new compound was not far from here. It was quite possible that they were neighbors.
"Don't you think it's too rude to ask so many questions as soon as you come in?"
"Mei, next time, don't just bring strangers home."
Looking at the white-robed nun at his side, Mei Terumi felt a bit wronged. She didn't understand why Kakashi had such hostility towards this woman. The other person was clearly very gentle, really like her own older sister.
Having listened to them talk so much, Nonō Yakushi also understood that Kakashi Hatake didn't seem to welcome her. Being disliked by this child was within her expectations. After all, she had once served in Root, and although one couldn't say she was related to the death of the White Fang of Konoha, she would ultimately be blamed by association.
The wounds in this child's heart will need to be healed slowly.
Fortunately, they didn't live far from each other. She could come over often in the future to visit these children.
These two girls were also ill-fated people.
"I'll be leaving first. If there's anything I can help with, you can find me anytime."
From beginning to end, the white-robed nun did not offer a single word of defense for her presence here. This made Kakashi inexplicably feel like the villain, especially under Mei Terumi's gaze.
"You're going back so soon?"
Sara brought the dishes to the table and saw the new neighbor who was about to leave.
"Sara, did you cook a lot of food?"
"I made enough for four people today."
Sure enough, Sara had also been "bought over." Kakashi, expressionless, stopped Nonō Yakushi, who was already preparing to go back.
"You should stay and eat before you go. Otherwise, these two will say I have no hospitality."
The white-robed nun took off the boot she had half put on and sat down at the dining table with the three of them. Since there were usually no extra guests in the house, there weren't enough chairs. Kakashi temporarily made a shadow clone chair using the same principle as the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"Let's eat!" x3
The silver-haired young man still didn't have the habit of saying this phrase.
The two girls and this Miko, who was already around twenty and could no longer be called a girl, were all extremely restrained, eating slowly and deliberately. So much so that Kakashi, watching from the side, frowned. Normally, these two girls would never eat so slowly. Although they were elegant, they valued efficiency. Were they trying to leave a good impression on each other now?
Following the normal progression, it was now time to ask about Sara's training progress.
"Did you learn the Water Dragon Bullet today?"
"No..."
Sara hesitated for a moment.
"Maybe I should learn Lightning Release instead. I also have a lightning-nature chakra."
"If you had said so earlier, why bother memorizing all those seals?"
Mei Terumi had come to terms with it this time. She had been teaching Sara the Water Dragon Bullet for almost half a month, and she still hadn't learned it. Maybe she really didn't have the talent for it.
"Do you want to learn medical ninjutsu?"
The white-robed nun, who was enjoying the meal, swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at the red-haired girl across from her.
