Chapter 21 Vacation 2

Beneath, bee, bee.

"Please come in." Okamoto Dousuke and Hinata Tachi walked into the ward together.

"It's you, Doujie, Ritsu." Nakajima Sodai looked at the two subordinates who came in. This time he was able to save his life thanks to their desperate rescue.

"I've already explained it briefly. It was my incompetence in this mission that almost caused the death of the entire team." Nakajima Soudai hammered the bed hard in self-blame.

As the captain, not only did I fail to protect my subordinates, but I became a burden to them. The two of them carried me and Takuto back after they both fainted.

A Genin and a Chunin first killed the title ninja of Sand Village, and then escaped from the Sand Village's pursuit troops. It was really unimaginable and thrilling. You can imagine how serious the danger was just by thinking about it.

"Captain, there is no one. It's mainly because of Dousuke's role. If it weren't for him, we would all be killed by the second famous Sand Village demon master, Yang Cang." Hinata Tachie hurriedly explained.

"It was Sister Tachie. Sister Tachie held up the opponent's main combat force, which gave me the opportunity." After hearing Hinata Tachie's explanation, Okamoto Dousuke quickly waved his hand and said.

"Okay, you two, stop being so modest. Even I can't kill a famous ninja so easily!" Looking at his two subordinates, Nakajima Sodai felt a little moved. He would never give up on his companions, even if it might kill him.

"And this time I really owe you two a big favor, which may take me a lifetime to repay!" Nakajima Sodai smiled.

"Captain, please eat quickly!" Hinata Tachibana placed the lunch box on Nakajima Souda's table.

Opening the food box, "Lihui, your cooking skills have really improved. And you guys should sit down, don't stand all the time."

"Captain, the mission of this time was due to the battle. The bodies of the two Yang Cang and several other people were badly damaged. We only brought back the head of the Sand Village ninja Ao Yusuke. Because you, captain, were unconscious at the time, I handed it to teacher Tsunade." Okamoto Dousuke explained to Nakajima Sodai.

"It doesn't matter. Our team's survival this time depends entirely on you. As long as everyone is alive, everything else will be fine. I've already written a mission record and sent it up."

"And Lady Tsunade has worked hard this time. In order to treat Takuto's leg, Lady Tsunade did not rest all night. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Takuto would not have been injured so badly." When talking about Tsunade, Nakajima Sodai sighed sincerely.

"Then Captain Nakajima, please eat quickly and rest early after eating. I'll go see Takuto." Seeing that Nakajima Sodai seemed to want to give a long speech, Okamoto Dousuke quickly stood up and prepared to leave.

Looking at Hinata Rie who was still sitting there, Okamoto Dousuke grabbed her hand, pulled her up and dragged her out of the room.

"What are you doing? I didn't even take my lunch box." Hinata Tachie complained to Okamoto Dousuke as soon as she left the room.

"Didn't you see what Captain Nakajima looked like? If we were still there, he would blame himself to death. He needs some time to adjust." Okamoto Dousuke explained to Hinata Tachibana while pulling her towards Aburame Takuto's room.

"Just go if you want to go. How long are you going to hold on?" Hinata Ritsu looked at the hand that was holding her tightly.

When Okamoto Dousuke heard Hinata Tateie's complaint, he quickly let go of her hand and touched the back of his head. "Hey, that's anxious."

"What an idiot." Looking at Okamoto Dousuke's stupid look, Hinata Ritsu strode past him and walked forward.

When I walked to Takuto Aburame's ward, I found that the door was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.

Just as Okamoto Dousuke was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of something being smashed from inside.

Crackling, crackling.

"Takuto, you just woke up, please eat something." A gentle voice of a middle-aged woman came.

"Mom, am I really unable to become a ninja?" Aburame Takuto's voice was trembling slightly.

"Ah..." That gentle voice said nothing. But that deep sigh undoubtedly said a lot.

"Takuto, there is nothing perfect in this world. Compared to many people who died directly in wars and missions, you are undoubtedly lucky. And Lady Tsunade said that fortunately your teammates know medical ninjutsu and performed emergency treatment on your legs. So your legs will not affect your normal life in the future." The gentle voice sounded again.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Bursts of crying sounds came from the ward.

Okamoto Dousuke withdrew his hand that was about to knock on the door. He looked at Hinata Tateie who came close to him and shook his head.

He turned and walked towards his ward.

Hinata Ritsu also tiptoed away behind Okamoto Dousuke.

Back in the ward, Dousuke Okamoto recalled Takuto Aburame's cry, "This is such a cruel world! This world has power that has never existed before, but this world is so cruel. If you are not careful, you may lose your life."

"At least we are still alive, and there is hope as long as we are alive." Hinata Tateie said while standing at the window and looking at Okamoto Dousuke lying on the bed.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage held a pipe in his mouth and exhaled a large puff of smoke.

On the large Hokage's desk, there was no usual crystal ball, but three unfolded scrolls.

One is "Scouting Mission in the Border Town of the Kingdom of Wind".

One is "Aoyoujie Human Intelligence Analysis".

The last one was placed on top of the other two: "On the Importance and Feasibility of Promoting Team Medical Ninjas."

This is the report presented to the Hokage by Nakajima Sodai, the Intelligence Analysis Department, and Tsunade after Okamoto Dousuke's team returned.

The Third Hokage took a deep puff of his pipe, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while before opening his eyes. At the same time, he slowly exhaled the smoke and sighed softly.

The Third Hokage was still very surprised about Okamoto Dousuke, thinking of what Nakajima Sodai said in the task book.

He knew about this kid's performance during the Ninja School ranking battle, but he didn't expect that he would be so outstanding in this mission.

Especially since an accident occurred during this mission, if it weren't for Dousuke Okamoto's extraordinary calmness, his cautious steps, and his excellent medical ninjutsu.

If it was any other team, Nakajima Soudai and Aburame Takuto would not have survived. They might even have been wiped out.

Thinking of Okamoto Dousuke's excellence and his careful control of every step, he is truly a rare talent.

What is even more commendable is that whether at the beginning or when retreating, Okamoto Dousuke never gave up on his teammates.

Compared to his former rival Kakashi, Hatake Kakashi is undoubtedly a surprising genius, but after the suicide of his father, Konoha White Fang, his personality became very withdrawn, and he was often squeezed out of his original team.

Especially since Okamoto Dousuke was a disciple of his own disciple Tsunade.

I didn't expect that in addition to Minato Namikaze, the apprentice of Jiraiya, a guy who didn't do anything right, Tsunade could give herself such an outstanding apprentice.

When he thought of Tsunade's bad habit of gambling, the third generation felt a headache and he must pay close attention to the training of Okamoto Dousuke.

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette butt, the Third Hokage picked up the top page, "On the Importance and Feasibility of Promoting Team Medical Ninjas," and looked at Tsunade's signature at the end.
