Kaoru nodded, then smiled and said, "Wan'er, I heard you performed very bravely yesterday, and even saved Naruto."
"I did save Naruto before, but later he saved me..." Wan'er looked sad, then lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry for my brother's teachings. That Gaara suddenly turned into a huge monster, and even if I used the Hard Vortex Fireblade, I still couldn't beat him. If Naruto hadn't summoned a big toad and then burst out with a powerful chakra, I'm afraid we would have all died at the hands of Gaara."
"All of this shows that I'm not strong enough..." Wan'er said, clenching her fists tightly, "I can't even protect myself, let alone protect others."
Listening quietly to Wan'er's words, Kaoru was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Then... Wan'er, do you want to become stronger?"
"Of course!" Without the slightest hesitation, Wan'er immediately replied, "Only by becoming stronger can I protect myself, protect others, and get closer to my dream!"
"Very good!" Kaoru nodded, his face full of firm expression.
"I will make you strong!"
On the second day after the Konoha Crush battle, the continuous drizzle temporarily washed away the slaughter brought by yesterday's war, but the collapsed buildings in Konoha Village still showed the cruel battle of yesterday.
Between the layers of courtyards, people who got up early occasionally gathered together to talk about yesterday's turmoil, with some lingering fears on their faces.
But what they talked about the most was Uchiha Kaoru.
Konoha hero, young genius, legendary figure... all kinds of glory were added to him. People talked about Kaoru's deeds with relish, comparing his strength and describing the scene at that time.
"You didn't see the situation at that time, it was really extremely fierce. I saw it clearly in the examination field at that time. He used two shadow clones to use S-class ninjutsu, and directly killed the eight-headed white snake summoned by Orochimaru!" A Chunin said excitedly.
"Not only that, even the entire examination field was destroyed by the power of this move! He is" another ninja added.
"Yes, that Uchiha kid is the hero who saved Lord Third Hokage!"
.......
Amidst the discussions among the ninjas, Kaoru's status in Konoha Village undoubtedly received a huge boost.
Inside Konoha Hospital.
Wan'er was still lying in bed, and Kaoru brought her her favorite ramen from Ichiraku Ramen.
"Your favorite ramen is here!" Kaoru walked into the ward with a bowl of char siu ramen.
"Wow, ramen!" Wan'er sat up from the bed with a whoosh, and then accidentally tore the wound, and suddenly grinned in pain again.
"Okay, you can't move yet, lie down obediently, I'll feed you." Looking at Wan'er with a frown, Kaoru waved his hand with some heartache, and then took out chopsticks to pick up the noodles.
Wan'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she sucked the noodles mouthful by mouthful, the scene was quiet and warm.
A bowl of noodles was quickly finished, and she took out a tissue to wipe Wan'er's mouth, and Wan'er burped with satisfaction.
"How are Naruto and the others?" Wan'er asked.
"They're all in the hospital." Kaoru nodded with a smile, "Naruto and Shikamaru worked very hard yesterday, they are all good."
"Brother, you don't have to stay with me anymore, I can't move now, go and see them for me." Wan'er said, "They are all my friends."
Kaoru was silent for a moment, just staring at Wan'er.
"Brother, is there something on my face, why are you looking at me like that?" Wan'er's face was red.
"Wan'er, you have grown up." After a few seconds, Kaoru said, "Don't worry, I'll go see them now, and by the way, convey the greetings from you, the female boss."
"Um." Wan'er nodded slightly.
After hearing Wan'er's words, Kaoru went to see the other Konoha rookies.
Naruto overdrawn all his strength to deal with the runaway Gaara, and his spirit was also depressed. He couldn't recover without a few days of recuperation.
At this moment, he was still sleeping in bed, and Kaoru naturally did not disturb him.
Nara Shikamaru was also lying next to Naruto's bed. Shikamaru's right hand was wrapped in bandages, and he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.
Seeing Kaoru walking into the ward, he quickly greeted Kaoru.
"Is the injury okay?" Kaoru asked.
Shikamaru shook his head and reluctantly smiled: "Actually, I didn't suffer any injuries. The main reason is that I used the Shadow Imitation Technique too much, and my spirit can't bear it."
"That's good." Kaoru nodded, turned to look at Naruto, who was still unconscious, and paused: "Then how is Naruto?"
"Naruto seems to have exhausted all his strength, and I'm afraid he will be in a coma for a while, but he will definitely not die." Nara Shikamaru smiled.
At this time, another person walked in, he was smoking a cigarette, with a calm expression on his face.
This person was Asuma. When Asuma saw Kaoru was also in the ward, the expression on his face immediately changed slightly.
After talking to Shikamaru briefly, he came to Kaoru.
"Kaoru, thank you for saving the life of the Third Hokage!" Asuma said solemnly to Kaoru, and then bowed.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was Asuma's father, and Kaoru saved his father's life. Asuma was also a loyal person, so he naturally expressed his gratitude.
"This is what I should do." Kaoru still smiled, "After all, I am also a member of Konoha. As long as Lord Hokage is fine, everything can be solved."
Asuma was silent for a long time, standing there for a while before he exhaled: "Yes, it's good if everything is fine, it's good if everything is fine."
There was a slight sadness in his expression.
This battle ultimately brought great harm to Konoha. Amidst the devastation, many Konoha civilians will never wake up.
At this time, there was another figure in the ward. He was wearing a mask, and it was obvious that he was an Anbu ninja.
