#110 - Ye Yue, I want you to help me practice
He already planned to go to Might Guy for some training, maybe even try wearing a green jumpsuit, and get his body in shape first.
What Kiyoshi has, Asuma Sarutobi must also have.
Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, both hands grasping!
…………
The busy sushi restaurant, today, has a rare moment of leisure.
"Sister, there are so few customers today."
Atsui said while wiping the table.
Today, many people have gone to see the results of the Chunin Exams; after all, ordinary people don't get many chances to watch ninja battles.
Only around the Chunin Exams can they get a glimpse of the action.
While Atsui was wiping the table, his arm moved, and the tattoo of the character "Hot" on it was covered with special paint.
This was a character tattooed on him by his parents to commemorate his name; "Atsui" means "Hot."
Such tattoo culture is prevalent in the Land of Lightning.
"Yeah."
Samui nodded lightly, asking her brother about something else.
"How was the ninja academy entrance test today?"
Recently, the ninja school started sending out pre-entrance exams.
To become a student there, one must have the most basic ability to extract and control chakra.
The test content was to have the children release the simplest genjutsu and ninjutsu; these techniques were not even E-rank and were very crude.
It was actually just a simple matter of using chakra.
"It was okay."
Atsui said confidently.
"That's good."
Samui nodded, revealing a smile.
Atsui is her only family, so Samui cherishes him.
She smiled for a while, then thought of someone, and her smile faded.
Uchiha Kiyoshi was also at the Chunin Exams today; several orders have been issued to bring Uchiha Kiyoshi back as soon as possible.
But progress has been slow.
Every time other companions try to contact Uchiha Kiyoshi, they are pushed away by Uchiha Kiyoshi with various reasons, leaving only her to approach.
A layer of worry and anxiety gradually covered Samui's face; if they can't win over Kiyoshi, they will be punished.
Samodo has also been urging her to go over there quickly these days.
But when she thinks of Kiyoshi, Samui feels uncomfortable.
"Take this cloth to the back to wash it."
Samui handed a table-wiping cloth to her brother.
"Okay."
Atsui nodded immediately, shaking his golden short hair as he ran to wash it.
Samui rubbed her shoulders, feeling sore.
Sometimes, bigger isn't necessarily better.
Under the influence of gravity, holding a watermelon is more tiring than holding an apple.
"Samui, don't forget what the village has instructed."
Samodo came out, saw Samui sitting on the stool, and stared blankly at the sparse crowd outside the glass window, distracted.
"Yes."
Samui came back to her senses and lowered her head.
In her heart, she thought of Kiyoshi's excessive behavior last time, such as helping to hold her up because he thought she was too tired...
…………
A few days after becoming a Chunin, Kiyoshi received his ninja vest and some shurikens, etc.
At the same time, a guest who had visited before came to his house.
"Please have some tea."
Kiyoshi pushed the brewed tea towards Uchiha Hazuki.
The teacup was still the old teacup from before.
Although he has some money now, Kiyoshi doesn't plan to spend it on these things.
He wants to exchange it for a larger sealing scroll, which easily starts at tens of thousands of ryo.
So, Kiyoshi is still quite tight on money.
"Um... Thank you."
Uchiha Hazuki looked at her reflection in the tea with a complex expression.
She had decided never to come to Kiyoshi's place again, but she came anyway.
"What's wrong? It's still not to your taste?"
Kiyoshi looked at Uchiha Hazuki holding the teacup.
"No, no, no, of course it's to my taste."
Uchiha Hazuki quickly explained.
Thinking of Yamada Dairu lying in the hospital, Uchiha Hazuki felt a surge of courage in her heart.
Fortunately, Kiyoshi's tea wasn't too hot, and she drank it all in one gulp.
Kiyoshi quietly watched her drink.
After Uchiha Hazuki finished drinking, he leisurely said:
"I wonder what brings you here, Hazuki-nee?"
"I... I want to ask you to help Dairu with a minor surgery."
Uchiha Hazuki told Kiyoshi about Yamada Dairu's current situation, hoping that Kiyoshi could help with the surgery.
"This is not a minor surgery, Hazuki-nee."
Kiyoshi slowly took a sip of tea, looking at the anxious Uchiha Hazuki and slowly said:
"Are there no other suitable candidates?"
"That's how it is for now."
Uchiha Hazuki cursed inwardly, Kiyoshi should just say directly if he's unwilling, why would she come to Kiyoshi if there were suitable candidates?
"Oh."
Kiyoshi nodded, then gently stroked the white snake's head.
The white snake comfortably narrowed its eyes, lying lazily in Kiyoshi's hand.
Uchiha Hazuki lowered her head, looking at the bottom of the teacup, waiting for Kiyoshi's next words.
However, after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear Kiyoshi's next words.
She raised her eyes and found Kiyoshi teasing his pet snake.
Uchiha Hazuki instantly felt a sense of anger at not being respected, she took a deep breath and said:
"I wonder if Kiyoshi is willing? Haven't we already written off our previous affair? If you cure Dairu, I will give you double the surgery fee."
"Is that so."
Kiyoshi's expression was still unhurried.
Double the market price is already very good.
Because after the cure, there will be subsequent medication.
In Konoha Hospital, the village has no subsidies.
The Nara clan owns large tracts of land, where they breed their clan's generations of deer, as well as many other medicinal materials.
This is the Nara clan's private property, and Konoha Hospital cooperates with them, purchasing a large number of medicinal materials.
Their clan is also one of the famous ninja clans, and besides a few large clans, they are the next level of ninja power.
They even have two allied ninja clans, the Akimichi clan and the Yamanaka clan.
So ordinary ninjas cannot break their monopoly business.
The price will naturally remain high.
As for the Akimichi clan, they are monopolizing the business together with the Nara clan.
The Akimichi clan is responsible for providing unique prescriptions and secret medicines to process the medicinal materials.
"Even if I cure him, the subsequent drug treatment will not be cheap, can you afford it?"
Kiyoshi asked.
The current Konoha medical technology is before the Third War!
It is not as developed as in later generations, so naturally, the effectiveness of drugs will be much greater.
In the official novel "Sakura's Secret," there is a Root cadre named Kido, and Danzo Shimura gave him control of most of Root's funds.
Because this person is incredibly sensitive to money and knows how to make money.
The reason for all this is that Kido's family was poor.
His father was sick and had to take medicine, but the medicine was too expensive, so his father lied to him that he was taking medicine, but he didn't, and finally died of the disease.
