Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 83

Such a losing proposition, a doomed future, would certainly not be agreed to from the start, which would lead to the extreme situation where Uchiha clan members move out of the clan's territory and live in the village.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the village's higher-ups are, they cannot openly say that Uchiha clan members cannot live in the village.

Furthermore, this phenomenon also shows that the Uchiha clan is not united, which is why the village is not so tense.

Therefore, if you make one wrong step, you will make a series of wrong steps.

Until tragedy strikes, people tend to stubbornly believe that doing things this way will lead to a better outcome.

But there will always be some people who don't learn from their mistakes.

"I've lost everything again."

"Damn it, no wonder I'm so unlucky, it turns out it's because you, Shirahoshi, are still alive."

On the village street, Tsunade, who had just come out of the casino, learned that Shirahoshi was not dead. Recalling that she had just lost her last few hundred thousand yen, along with the salary she had received before, she lost a total of more than six million yen. Suddenly, she felt that her life had become gloomy: that was the money she had worked hard to earn for more than a month on the battlefield!

He complained a bit about the frustration of losing money, but his tone was light and cheerful.

Afterwards, Tsunade went to an izakaya (Japanese pub), used the remaining thousand ryo to buy a bottle of sake, and then came out.

After taking a few sips, I leaned against the wall on the street and looked up at the gradually darkening sky:

"but."

"Orochimaru would be very happy to hear this news."

"You don't need to lock yourself in the lab anymore."

......

Three days.

Five days.

A week.

Ten days.

The news of Shirahoshi's survival remained unconfirmed, and just as everyone was beginning to suspect that there might be a problem with the village's intelligence.

At the gates of Konoha, Shirahoshi has finally returned.

The first thing Shirahoshi would do is go to the hospital to check on Yuhi Ryuun's condition, use a shadow clone to retrieve the collected intelligence scrolls for the Hokage, and report back.

The fallen leaves danced in the wind, rising with the breeze until they finally drifted into a private room on the fifth floor of the inpatient department.

At this moment, the patient in the ward is a numb girl whose entire body is wrapped in bandages: the explosive tag caused extensive burns to her front body.

Fortunately, apart from the scars that cannot heal on their own, his other vital organs were not injured, so he can still become a ninja in the future.

But even so.

The girl's heart was completely dead.

More than being disfigured, she couldn't accept that her beloved had died on the battlefield.

So she went on a hunger strike for quite some time until ten days ago when news came from the village that Bai Xing was alive, which finally made the girl eat a few bites.

At this moment, the door to the ward slowly opened, and a woman with the same sorrowful expression walked in: compared to the youthful vitality she once possessed, the woman now looked several years older.

The woman, carrying some homemade porridge, forced a smile and sat down on the stool in front of the hospital bed.

"Liuyun, guess what delicious food Mom made for you today..."

"Has there been any news about Shirahoshi?" At this moment, Yuhi Ryuun kept repeating the question as if obsessed.

Xi Riyue's expression stiffened slightly. She didn't answer her daughter's question, but silently opened the lunchbox in her hand.

Seeing this, Xi Ri Liu Yun understood the answer.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"I don't have much of an appetite today, I'll eat later."

"You only ate a little yesterday, and you've gotten so thin. If Bai Xing comes back and sees you like this, he won't..."

"If he were alive, I wouldn't let him see me."

"What are you saying!" Xi Riyue was also on the verge of collapse. From her daughter's words, it was as if she would immediately commit suicide upon learning of Bai Xing's return. "Your father died a long time ago, and now I only have you left. You've finally returned from the battlefield, are you going to leave this family with only me left?!"

"That was not what I meant."

"I mean..."

Before Xi Ri Liu Yun could finish speaking, the door clicked open again, and the person outside walked in.

"emmmm."

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

At the entrance, a young man with delicate features, slightly out of breath, was greeting the two shocked people inside.

Joy filled Xi Ri Liu Yun's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm. "I heard you died. It seems you're quite resilient."

"Liuyun!"

Xi Riyue understood her daughter's feelings at that moment. She scolded her daughter angrily for a moment, then smiled at Bai Xing and said, "Bai Xing, thank you so much. If it weren't for your care, my daughter probably wouldn't have been able to return from the battlefield."

Please allow me to bow in gratitude—

"Hey, Aunt Yue, you're joking." Bai Xing helped up Xi Riyue, who was bowing deeply in gratitude, and looked a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Aunt Yue. If I had really protected Liu Yun and done my job as commander, she wouldn't be in this state."

"sorry."

On the battlefield, you never know when an unexpected event might occur.

Shirahoshi didn't understand war very well. Compared to the complete annihilation of Intelligence Squad 1 and the situation where only four and six of the eight-person squads of Intelligence Squads 3 and 4 remained, he was just glad that the ninja he valued was still alive: Yuhi Ryuun.

Afterwards, Yuhizuki chose to go out, giving Shirahoshi and her daughter some private space.

Bai Xing took over feeding Liu Yun, her gaze still gentle. She blew on the steaming hot porridge on the spoon before handing it to him: "It's not too hot anymore, eat some. You seem to have lost a lot of weight. Then..."

"What? Is it not pretty?" Xi Ri Liu Yun knew that Bai Xing wanted to comfort her, but what she wanted more now was for Bai Xing to stay away from her, to stop 'pitying' her, and to stop letting her have any illusions.

While Bai Xing remained silent, Xi Ri Liu Yun pushed Bai Xing's spoon away, causing the porridge liquid to spill onto the blankets covering the girl, making them somewhat messy.

Bai Xing wasn't angry; she silently took out a tissue from the bedside table and wiped Xi Ri Liu Yun's face.

"I don't need your care!"

"besides!"

"I don't like you anymore! Get out!!"

When Xi Ri Liu Yun finished speaking, it felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a sharp weapon, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes again.

Bai Xing remained unmoved. After wiping the blanket, she tossed the dirty blanket aside, took a clean spare blanket, and covered Liu Yun with it.

"I'm not pitying you."

"I just don't want to see that girl who wanted to become a powerful female ninja die like this."

"Didn't you say you wanted to revitalize the Yuhi Clan? Are you giving up now?"

Xi Ri Liu Yun was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Bai Xing hadn't forgotten her dream, and she felt a little touched.

Bai Xing looked at the setting sun and drifting clouds, feigning disappointment in her eyes: "Looks are not the key to determining a person's future."

"Besides."

"The ninja world is so vast, what kind of ninjutsu doesn't exist? Perhaps one day, your wounds will heal naturally."

"But if he dies..."

"That means no ninjutsu will work."

"I...but I..." After hearing this, Yuhi Ryuun bit her red lips, and the rest of her words became difficult to say. Encouragingly, Shirahoshi took out a red rose she had just bought from the flower shop and placed it in front of Yuhi Ryuun. Yuhi Ryuun stared at it blankly for a long time. This was the first time Shirahoshi had ever given her a flower.

and,

The meaning of red roses seems to be...

Suddenly, the girl's face, wrapped in white bandages, turned bright red.

"You you you you you you you you you—"

"That's all I mean. Don't give up on yourself anymore. I'll always be there for you. Call me anytime if you need help. Don't worry Aunt Yue anymore. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

At this moment, Xi Ri Liu Yun's eyes had turned into swirling patterns. Bai Xing didn't know if the girl had listened to her, but she placed the flower in her hand and silently walked out of the room.

"How about it?"

"Liu Yun isn't doing very well, I've tried my best to comfort her." Bai Xing said helplessly, then tentatively asked, "By the way, Auntie, who is Liu Yun's attending physician?"

"Well, it used to be Lady Tsunade, but now it's been handed over to a female doctor named Kitada Mana."

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much, Auntie. I'll go back and rest for a while. I've been traveling too much lately and I'm really tired. I need to go back and get some sleep."

"Go quickly, child. If you can, I hope you can come and visit Liuyun more often. That child... well, I really can't say much about the affairs of you young people, but I just hope you won't hurt Liuyun."

"I will."

Chapter 88 Some Embarrassing Things About Doctors

People only believe what they see with their own eyes, like Shirahoshi standing in front of everyone now.

"Good heavens! I thought you were dead, I cried for days, you bastard!" Rope Tree patted Shirahoshi's chest, and Shirahoshi smiled helplessly: "Even if I ran away, I couldn't send a message back. What could I do?"

"Hmph." Tsunade crossed her arms, her face flushed from the hangover from yesterday's drinking: "Shouldn't you pay me back for my money?"

"?" Countless question marks appeared above Bai Xing's head.

"what money?"

"If I lose money, nothing bad usually happens, which means I'm protecting you. How about lending me a few million to win some of my losses?"

Bai Xing's expression returned to calm, and she said coldly, "...I won't lend it."

You finally earned over three million in salary, and you're going to lend it to me to throw away? Am I out of my mind?! And from what you're saying, it sounds like you gambled away all your salary that just came in. What a spendthrift woman!

"Tch, still such a stingy person."

At that moment, the three members of Team 11, who had been notified, walked down the street. Yakushi Nonou and Uchiha Mikoto pried open the rope tree in front of Shirahoshi and threw themselves into Shirahoshi's arms.

Nonou: "Waaaaah—Shirahoshi-sensei! You're really still alive!"
