Chapter 11 Danzo: You didn't want this either
Now that the examination is complete, leave the examination room.
There seemed to be someone already waiting outside, but the Third Hokage had instructed them not to disturb them unless it was urgent.
Now, they could finally relay the message to the Third Hokage.
"Third Hokage, Lord Orochimaru requests your presence."
"Is it something urgent?"
"this,"
Lord Orochimaru didn't seem to be in a hurry, nor did he say what it was about.
Seeing that he was covered in sweat, the three generations did not make things difficult for him.
"I'll go over there."
They were immediately granted a pardon.
"Lord Third Generation, please follow me."
And so, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, left Konoha Hospital.
Yakushi Nonou, went to see her adopted son, who was also busy with medical work, after the third generation passed away.
It was during the Battle of Kikyōyama that she found a child who had lost his memory.
She took him to the orphanage she founded, adopted him, and gave him her family name, Kabuto.
This is a very talented child; he has mastered medical ninjutsu quite well.
Having experienced the Nine-Tails' attack, Konoha Hospital urgently needs medical resources for treatment and care.
In addition, the training of medical ninjutsu requires sufficient clinical practice. Therefore, she has been interning at Konoha Hospital with Kabuto during this period.
Soon after, she saw Kabuto treating a patient. She noticed that Kabuto was serious, focused, and attentive, and that he made no mistakes.
The pharmacist Nonou couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Finally, when Kabuto finished his work and was covered in sweat.
A handkerchief was stretched out from the side and used to wipe his forehead.
He was taken aback, then mimicked Nonou's gentle smile, and called out with obvious admiration, "Dean."
He wore glasses that looked very similar to Yakushi Nonou's ; they were a gift from Yakushi Nonou when he was younger.
Of course, it's also because Kabuto already had poor eyesight.
A little while later, on the hospital rooftop, the mother and son sat on a bench, enjoying the moment of leisure.
Kabuto couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dean, I heard that the Third Hokage is looking for you again."
"That's right." Yakushi Nonou smiled and squinted her eyes as she spoke.
"Why did the three generations of lords come looking for you?"
Yakushi Nonou raised her index finger and tapped his forehead.
"It's a secret," she said with a smile.
Dou snorted and turned his head away.
"It's no secret. I heard from people at the hospital that the three generations of adults came to you for a physical exam, and the exam took a very long time..."
At this point, Kabuto couldn't help but think of something and clenched his fist.
He seemed a little unhappy.
Nono knew why Kabuto was unhappy, because rumors were circulating in the hospital that she was having an affair with the Third Hokage.
After all, it's no secret that the Third Generation Lord is a womanizer.
But is the Third Generation Lord really a lecher?
Nono couldn't help but think about her recent interactions with the Third Master, and discovered that the Third Master was very focused on research into human medicine and her own physical condition.
No one was intentionally or unintentionally glancing at her.
He gives the impression of being intelligent, perceptive, and purely focused on what he wants to focus on.
Shaking her head, she said to Kabuto, "Don't overthink it. Some things will inevitably cause gossip, but people shouldn't be affected by things that aren't true.
Kabuto, the Third Hokage is a respectable elder, so don't think about anything too rude."
"...call."
Dou let out a breath and nodded.
However, Nono quickly got up.
"I suddenly remembered some other things."
She spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Dou felt something was wrong; it was all too sudden.
However, Nono disappeared very quickly.
Soon after, Nono appeared in a nearby grove of trees, where she saw a familiar figure from behind.
"Lord Danzo."
"Nonou".
Turn around.
"I heard you're giving Hiruzen another medical checkup? That's what I found out."
"...The Third Generation Lord invited me to be his medical consultant."
Danzo frowned.
Then he lowered his voice a little.
"I have been the one who has been funding and maintaining the orphanage you founded.
You don't want me to withdraw my funds, do you? Otherwise, it will be difficult for your orphanage to continue operating."
"..."
"I'll give you some time to think it over, Nono. I hope you won't let me down."
With that, Danzo turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the grove.
Nono silently turned away.
She was thinking about how to break this situation.
In a sense, Danzo is a shadowy figure who holds absolute power in Konoha.
Currently, only the Third Hokage can restrain him, but the Third Hokage and Danzo have a very close relationship.
Would you, sir/madam, be willing to do her a small favor?
Or is it that even if she gets help from three generations of elders, she still has to give something in return?
"..."
It's still better than Danzo.
Although I felt that the Third Hokage also had a deep darkness within him, he was, after all, the Hokage who represented the village's glorious side, and he wouldn't be as unscrupulous as Danzo.
Moreover, she also established a relationship with the Third Generation Lord, serving as his medical advisor.
Perhaps, she needs to demonstrate greater value to the three generations of adults.
"Orochimaru, is there something you need from me?"
The Third Hokage asked as he entered the Hokage's office and saw Orochimaru.
"Teacher, of course it's something important."
"What's so important?"
"Uchiha".
The Third Hokage sat down.
By this time, he had a very clear understanding of the situation in Konoha, thanks in large part to Hiruzen Sarutobi's memories.
Therefore, he doesn't show any weakness when discussing these matters.
"Do you want to deal with the Uchiha?"
"I should be asking you, teacher, do you intend to deal with the Uchiha?"
In no mood.
Of course, you can't say it so directly; that would be too abrupt and suspicious.
Therefore, he fell silent, looking as if he was thinking carefully, and then said, "The Uchiha have always been a problem for the village."
"So how do you plan to resolve this? Or are you suggesting relying on Danzo?"
He certainly understood what it meant to rely on Danzo.
And now he understands what Danzo is, and what kind of person his disciple Orochimaru is.
Danzo is despicable, cruel, vicious, and ruthless.
He has been deeply twisted by darkness, and in a way, he is indeed a knife, but this knife is too bloody and brutal.
To be honest, the current Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't like it.
Of course, his disciple was no better.
He was a mad scientist with exceptional research talent and was the most outstanding disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Nowadays, they are increasingly turning cold-blooded.
However, now that he's about to become Hokage, Orochimaru, being a smart man, seems to have toned down his behavior somewhat, and his aura isn't as sinister anymore.
