Chapter 38 Moving
Despite saying he would take care of Naruto, the Third Hokage did not intend to care for him personally.
He decided to move and find a place to live near the Konoha orphanage where Nonou lived.
It was a relatively secluded and quiet place, which was a good option for the Third Hokage, who was passionate about martial arts.
As for whether this will fuel some rumors even more?
Forget it, it's already beyond saving. The Third Generation doesn't care about those rumors anymore; his heart remains unmoved.
And so, the golden-haired, bearded baby Naruto was handed over to Nonou by the Third Hokage.
Nonou gently took Naruto and softly stroked his cheek.
It has to be said that this scene was truly maternal in the eyes of the Third Hokage.
"Why does he have such a beard?
Is it because the Nine-Tails is sealed inside him?" Nonou asked the Third Hokage with some curiosity.
The third generation also looked at the baby's beard, a feature that was indeed a bit strange, as the fourth generation did not have such a beard.
"Perhaps it's because... he was born from the Nine-Tails' Jinchūriki?" the Third Hokage speculated, rubbing his chin.
"You mean, when Lady Kushina was conceiving him, she was affected by the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed within her?"
"Perhaps that's how it is."
After all, this is the only explanation that makes sense: it's not surprising that the child of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would be affected by the Nine-Tails' chakra while inside the mother's body.
"So, if that's the case," Nonou tilted her head and said, "he's also considered a child of the Nine-Tails?"
"..."
The third generation almost didn't spray out.
The Fourth Hokage and Kurama's child? Kushina was cheated on?
Or rather, the child of Minato, Kushina, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) – the two humans and one beast?
"What is this all about?"
The third generation shook his head.
He's too old to handle the impact of such new things.
"No matter what, take good care of him, Yakushi Nonou."
"yes."
With an affirmative response, Nonou affectionately stroked Naruto's face.
The third generation sat some distance away and started smoking.
At Konoha Hospital, Tsunade felt like she'd been tricked.
"Damn Orochimaru! Damn old man!"
Originally, the hospital was managed by Yakushi Nonou, Konoha's second-best medical ninja.
However, it was clear that Orochimaru didn't want to let go of Tsunade, the top medical ninja, and the Third Hokage also hoped that Nonou would cooperate better with him.
So the Third and Fifth Hokage conspired to get Tsunade back to her post at Konoha Hospital.
He became the director of Konoha Hospital and the head of the entire Konoha medical system.
Tsunade is currently reorganizing Konoha's medical system because there is a sub-project called the Joint Medical Security Plan within the Joint Security Plan.
In other words, by leveraging the established 'United Security Company' and the 'Security Operation' that is being prepared, they aim to build a vast medical system that can be distributed across various regions, dependent on the 'United Security Company,' and centered around Konoha.
Konoha provides core medical technologies and maintains a comprehensive system to attract medical talent from all over the country, thus completing the construction of a systematic medical force covering the entire nation.
This is a huge project.
Only Konoha has the capability to lead such a massive project, and only Tsunade, the medical saint of the ninja world with a high reputation in the medical field, can shoulder the core role of organizing this matter.
Putting everything else aside, as long as the news that Tsunade is the core person in charge of this project is spread, a large number of doctors from the Land of Fire will come to participate in this system.
Not to mention the Land of Fire, people from all over the ninja world would probably come here to visit.
It can be said that Tsunade's reputation in the medical field is undoubtedly a great asset, and if this reputation is managed well, it can leverage a great deal of public support and interests.
It is an extremely high-quality asset of Konoha Village, of the highest quality.
Of course, Tsunade didn't think that much about it.
She was only thinking about the future prospects of this medical system and felt a great sense of responsibility, so she dared not slack off in the slightest.
Of course, that didn't stop her from cursing the damned Orochimaru and the damned old man!
"Lady Tsunade."
The pharmacist has taken the lead.
Tsunade glanced up from the file and looked at Kabuto Yakushi.
Have you completed the practical task assigned to you?
"It's done."
"Ask if you have any questions."
"yes."
Kabuto then asked many questions about things he didn't understand, and Tsunade gave him pointers one by one, which made Kabuto suddenly understand things from time to time, and many of his doubts were answered.
Seeing Kabuto's profound understanding of medical ninjutsu, Tsunade nodded in agreement, agreeing with Orochimaru's assessment that Kabuto was indeed a satisfactory student.
Moreover, having studied under an excellent medical ninja like Yakushi Nonou for three years, her basic skills are really solid, making her easy to teach.
"Alright, that's enough for you to absorb for a week."
Tsunade stopped there, not saying too much, because saying too much would have exceeded Kabuto's current comprehension.
Let him digest it properly over the next few days.
It could be said that Kabuto would come to the hospital every weekend to help with practical training and ask her for advice.
After that, he would go to school and digest and understand Tsunade's teachings during the school process.
Such a teaching arrangement is quite reasonable.
After all, haste makes waste.
Even geniuses have limits to their capacity to learn.
"Thank you for your guidance, Lady Tsunade."
Kabuto said gratefully.
Tsunade's teachings truly benefited him greatly, making him realize that she was indeed Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha and the foremost medical saint in the ninja world.
"Um."
Tsunade nodded.
Suddenly, she stretched, wanting to take a break.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune called out.
Tsunade snapped out of her daze, immediately adopting a work-obsessed, almost oblivious-to-eat demeanor, and asked with feigned confusion, "Shizune, what's wrong?"
"Lady Tsunade, didn't you say you'd notify me immediately if I received a letter from Lord Jiraiya?
I rushed here as soon as I got the letter!"
"Okay, you don't need to shout so loudly, you're already disturbing my work."
Tsunade muttered nonchalantly, but after Shizune handed her the letter, she immediately took it.
Then, feeling that she was being a bit too hasty, she clenched her fist and coughed in front of her mouth.
Slowly but carefully, he opened the letter and began to read its contents.
It must be said that Jiraiya was often quite unserious when interacting with others, but deep down he was an artistic youth.
This letter is basically an expression of what I saw and heard during my journey, along with some feelings and sentiments.
Finally, the conversation shifted, and she started complaining about Orochimaru's disciple, Anko.
I was really tormented by this guy along the way!
"Pfft! Serves you right."
Tsunade laughed out loud.
"It's all your own fault. You insisted on teaching Orochimaru's apprentice."
