The ninja world is a cold place where "strangers = enemies" can be assumed by default. This is especially true in the country of water known as the Blood Mist. All strangers and even acquaintances are natural enemies.
Therefore, after seeing each other's figures, both parties inside and outside the shrine stopped their original actions very naturally, and invariably showed a strong look of vigilance (except for the righteous ones) to show their careful guard against each other.
But in fact, they are both pretending.
Kabuto Yakushi had no intention of becoming an enemy of these three children. He just wanted to get information to see if, except for the kid from the Oniden clan, the other two were within his business scope, and then consider abducting them to increase his business performance.
However, Guiteng Suigetsu relied on Giyu's overpowering strength and did not take the opponent seriously from the beginning. Only for the sake of reasonable performance, he turned around and pulled out the toothless chakra knife from Giyu's waist, and pretended to block Giyu.
Between me and Kabuto Yakushi, it looked like I was protecting the teacher's life.
"you……"
Yakushi Kabuto saw the unsheathed ninja sword and took two nervous steps back. When he spoke, he was so nervous that he became hoarse and had to cough before speaking again.
"Who are you?"
He held a kunai in his right hand and placed it horizontally on his chest in an amateurish manner. At the same time, his arms were trembling slightly, and the cold sweat on his head slid down his cheeks and dripped from his chin.
Coupled with his frowning and raised brows, and the sharp expansion of his nose in order to comfort himself and facilitate inhalation, Yakushi Kabuto perfectly explained a word——
harmless.
And this was exactly the first impression he wanted to leave on the three volunteers. But secretly, Kabuto Yakushi's brain was moving at high speed, analyzing everything he just saw——
These three people should be headed by Gui Leng Suiyue. He plays the role of protecting the other two and is the leader of this team. And this is completely in line with his position as a descendant of the Gui Leng clan.
Among them, the purple-haired boy who was suspected of being injured was the weakest. It seemed that he might lose his breath and die on the spot at any time. He should be treated urgently.
This is a breakthrough for Yakushi Kabuto, a medical ninja.
As for the little ghost with dull eyes, he needs the least attention. Children like him are very common in the Kingdom of Water. He probably lost his goal of survival after losing his family, and just followed the ghost lights and water moons in a daze.
In addition to being responsible for carrying the purple-haired boy on his back, he also has to hold the knife for Gui Deng Suiyue, so he is most likely the one who contributes the strength. As for the fox dozing with squinted eyes above his head, it should also be Gui Deng Suiyue's pet, otherwise it wouldn't be like that.
He looked arrogant and arrogant.
In short, he is a small character who helps Gui Deng and Sui Yue.
[Let’s not talk about the dull eyes. This injured purple-haired boy probably has something special, otherwise he is just a simple burden. 】
[Kiden Suigetsu is from the ninja clan and has a cruel personality. He is known as the "Second Generation of Ghost People" in Kirigakure Village. It is impossible to keep a useless brat around just because of his own will. 】
[So, is it possible that the purple-haired kid has some kind of blood successor limit? The successor of the water transformation technique + a new blood successor kid, today’s harvest will definitely satisfy Orochimaru-sama...]
Thinking of this, Medicine Master Kabuto smiled proudly in his heart.
【Is this Orochimaru's subordinate? 】
Seeing Yakushi Kabuto's cowering look, Kiden Suigetsu looked back at Giyuu with some boredom and disappointment, "Why do I feel so pusy..."
He originally thought he would finally have a chance to show off his sword skills that he had improved in these days, but he didn't expect that the other party couldn't even hold a kunai, and he suddenly lost interest in doing it.
【Probably just a minion or something like that. 】
Yiyong ignored Gui Deng Shuiyue's glare.
He stared at Yakushi Kabuto expressionlessly, but in his heart he was impressed by the exquisiteness of the opponent's disguise——
If we only consider facial expressions, this boy with glasses, who is about the same age as Itachi, performs perfectly. Every detail of his facial features can be compared with the chapter on "Fear" in "Iwagakure ANBU Teaches You Mind Reading"
Corresponding.
Even if Fuji Fugetsu's performance is the best in the movie, there is still a big gap between her acting skills and the person in front of her.
But looking through the world, Yiyong discovered that this boy, who was almost paralyzed with fear, had a heartbeat as steady as that of his father feeding goldfish by the pond. Those subtle expressions, rolling down
The cold sweats and trembling movements are all exquisite performances based on a thorough understanding of the human body and the use of physiological feedback.
Thinking of this, Yiyong stretched out his hand and tugged Jiuwei's big fluffy tail hanging next to his ear. The latter turned over impatiently, swung his tail left and right twice, and signaled:
【I don’t feel any malice.】
Yiyong understood this and had no intention of warning Gui Deng and Shui Yue to be careful.
Since the other party doesn't consider taking action, it means they have other plans for their group, which is simply the best thing.
If this person is willing to take the initiative to take them into Orochimaru's base, a lot of trouble can be saved.
…
On the other side, Gui Deng Shui Yue bared his fangs and took two tentative steps towards the pharmacist with a knife.
The latter panicked and retreated accordingly, but before taking two steps back, his lower back hit the ropes surrounding the pillars surrounding the offerings in the shrine.
The foreign body sensation coming from his waist "scared" Yakushi Kabuto himself. His legs softened and he fell to the ground. He raised his hands and said loudly: "Wait a minute! I am a medical ninja, please don't kill me!"
According to international practice, doctors are not killed in non-war situations.
The knife in Kiden Shuiyue's hand dropped, and he squeezed his lips speechlessly. He no longer even had the interest to scare Yakushi Kabuto: "It's really boring. I thought we could have a fight..."
Then, he waved casually to Giyuu outside the threshold of the shrine, as if he had the final say in everything: "Bring Ranmaru in, this guy is a soft-footed shrimp, there is no danger at all."
Being called a soft-footed shrimp, Kabuto Yakushi was not only not annoyed, but instead had a fleeting smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.
For an intelligence worker, being underestimated is a victory. The less wary others are of him, the easier it is for him to believe his words.
Giyong outside the door received the "instructions" from Onito Suigetsu, and carried Ranmaru on his back into the building. He knelt down and carefully placed Ranmaru against the wall.
Kabuto Yakushi quickly observed the two of them and keenly noticed that Ranmaru's face was a little blue.
It's not like he was pretending. Ranmaru followed Giyu all the way without rest, and during this period he continued to use his red eyes to explore the road, reaching the limit of what his body could bear.
When he finally had time to rest, he closed his eyes and slumped in place, not wanting to move.
All this was seen by Yakushi Kabuto, and just as he was about to say something, Gui Deng Shuiyue put the knife on his neck again.
"You are a ninja from Kirigakure Village?"
Gui Deng Shui Yue squatted down and looked at Yao Shi Dou's round glasses, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
[Stupid, he exposed his origins easily...]
Medicine Master Kabuto secretly cursed, but still behaved cautiously.
"I have nothing to do with Kirigakure Village. I just learned medical ninjutsu from my teacher and am barely a ninja."
He pressed his back against the altar and kept repeating his identity as a "medical ninja". In fact, he wanted to remind Suigetsu Kito that he might be of some use to Ranmaru's current situation.
In this way, the relationship between them can naturally develop further, making it easier for him to obtain more information.
"Medical ninja? What are you, a medical ninja, doing in an abandoned village like this?"
Gui Deng Shui Yue looked suspicious.
"There's nothing that can't be said. Don't you know that the legend of the Kusanagi sword is enshrined here?"
Kabuto Yakushi was very cooperative and almost said, "This village was destroyed by someone not long ago, but the legendary Kusanagi sword has never been found. I just heard about this, and while the teacher
I secretly came to this village to look for clues when I was out, but unexpectedly I met you..."
Hearing the words "Kusanagi Sword", Kiden Suigetsu immediately became interested, "Then did you find anything?"
Yakushi Kabuto pointed to the scattered scrolls spread out on the ground behind him, "There are only these things, hidden behind the plaque of the shrine. But I can't understand what is written on them. They must be very ancient characters."
"What kind of ghost talismans are these?"
Gui Deng Shui Yue only picked up the scroll and glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly turned into confused circles.
He looked up and looked at the "sacred object" in the center of the altar, surrounded by pillars and ropes. It was just a large stone with messy colors. At first glance, it looked a little different, but upon closer inspection, it was just that. I don't know why.
will be provided here.
Gui Deng Shui Yue's disappointment was palpable, and he threw the scroll back intact.
"Since you said you are a medical ninja, why are you interested in the Kusanagi sword?"
Perhaps out of curiosity, Gui Deng Shui Yue asked.
[Of course it’s to please the boss...]
Yakushi Kabuto rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered what was said in the information - when Kito Suigetsu was in the Ninja School, he always regarded the Seven Ninja Swordsmen as idols, so he opened his mouth and tried to put a distance between the two of them: "
To tell you the truth, although I am not a ninja from Kirigakure Village, I have always been fascinated by stories about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen since I was a child, and I have always been interested in things like Ninja Swords..."
"It's just seven trash fish and seven handfuls of scrap metal."
Before Kabuto Yakushi could finish his words, Gui Deng Suiyue choked out disdainfully, "What's there to aspire to? Only frogs in the well who have never seen what real swordsmanship is will take them seriously."
Yakushi Kabuto was speechless for a moment and could only smile reluctantly. He didn't know whether Gui Deng Shuiyue had some trouble with his brother.
Seeing that the conversation had reached a critical moment where it could no longer continue, a voice of righteousness came from the other side of the shrine: "Can't you eat anymore?"
Yakushi Kabuto and Kito Suigetsu both turned to look. Ranmaru was chewing something in his mouth and shook his head with difficulty. It was not until Giyuu gave him some water that he reluctantly swallowed the dry food.
Seeing Ranwan being cared for so carefully by the teacher, Kiden Suigetsu raised his eyebrows, feeling unhappy for no apparent reason.
But in Yaoshi Kabuto's eyes, this revealed a genuine concern.
【This purple-haired boy is indeed very important.】
"Is your companion injured?"
After making his judgment, Yakushi Kabuto pointed in the direction of Ranwan.
"What does it have to do with you?" Gui Deng Shui Yue replied angrily, looking not in a good mood.
Kabuto the pharmacist pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Well, I am a medical ninja for the time being. If you are willing, I can help him take a look."
"The best doctors in the Kingdom of Water can't cure him, so what can you do?" Gui Deng Shui Yue asked with a sideways glance.
"Every doctor has his own specialty. If other doctors can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it."
Speaking of medical ninjutsu, Yakushi Kabuto felt a trace of self-confidence in his brows, "How will you know if you don't try it?"
"Are you so kind?" Gui Deng Shui Yue raised his eyebrows, "Obviously we have only met for less than five minutes, right?"
"Anyway, before you leave here, you won't let me go, the person who knows your whereabouts. So I think, if I help you and play my due role, you will naturally be embarrassed to do anything to me."
Yakushi Kabuto stretched out his hand to hold the frame of the mirror, squinted his eyes and said casually: "And I have always been a soft-hearted person, and I don't want to see others suffer in front of me. Maybe you don't believe it, but my teacher and I actually took care of you secretly.
There will be fewer children like you wandering and hiding..."
Hearing this, Gui Deng Shuiyue and Yiyong's eyes collided rapidly.
Wan She said that he specifically spared those children with the blood inheritance limit, and now it seems that most of them are in Orochimaru's base.
What Giyuu couldn't figure out was why Orochimaru wanted to do this extra thing.
We need to use these blood stepchildren for experiments, and just let them be kidnapped together when the snakes go out. Why should we "let them go" once, which will only cause more trouble.
"Ranmaru, are you willing to let him give it a try?"
Ghost Light Suigetsu asked after thinking for a while. He looked like he was asking Ranmaru, but in fact he was asking Giyuu if he wanted to continue to cooperate with him in the performance.
Kyuubi's big tail shook again, indicating that Yakushi Kabuto had no ill intentions towards Ranmaru.
Ranmaru and Giyuu looked at each other, nodded, and then he said to Yakushi Kabuto: "Thank you then. Can you tell me what your name is?"
"Kabuto means helmet."
Ghost Light Suigetsu took back the knife, put it in the pharmacist's pocket and came to Ranwan's side.
Although he knew that the other party might be a potential enemy, Ranmaru was still infected by Kabuto's warm and harmless smile, and his body involuntarily relaxed.
"The full body examination will cause some slight irritation to the body, but it will not hurt. Please don't worry about it."
Ranwan, who was lying flat on the ground, nodded. It was obviously not his first time on the "diagnostic table" and he was no stranger to the process.
"Then I'm going to start."
After Yakushi Kabuto reminded him once, the seals on his hands emitted a gleaming green light. This change in the nature of the yang chakra made Giyuu's eyes light up.
The operation of medical ninjutsu is too delicate and complicated. Without thousands of trainings, ordinary ninjas cannot be so proficient. However, the proficiency of this young man with glasses in medical ninjutsu is comparable to that of doctors at Konoha Hospital. It shows that training
The diligence.
After the examination began, neither Yoshiyong nor Ghostly Man disturbed Yakushi Kabuto.
The former had deep eyes and followed Yakushi Kabuto's movements slowly; while the latter simply couldn't understand.
It was not until ten minutes later that a thin layer of sweat appeared on the pharmacist's forehead, and the shining green light stopped.
"How is it?" Gui Deng Shui Yue asked.
Kabuto Yakushi lowered his eyes seemingly tiredly, hiding a hint of surprise.
After the whole body examination just now, he could at least confirm that this purple-haired brat named Ranmaru had some kind of blood inheritance boundary, and he was indeed the kind of person Orochimaru was looking for.
But correspondingly, Ranwan's physical weakness may be caused by the imbalance caused by the blood inheritance limit.
"Generally speaking, his muscle and bone cells are too weak to produce physical energy that can balance with mental energy, so his body always feels very tired. His lower limbs are particularly weak, and he can't walk more than a hundred steps.
Losing control of the muscles will cause problems in daily convenience. Isn’t that right?”
Kabuto the pharmacist held up the frame of his glasses just above the bridge of his nose, feeling very confident in his diagnosis.
"We all know these symptoms, and you don't need to repeat them again."
Gui Deng Shui Yue frowned, "I'm asking you if there is any way to treat it."
"If it's a radical cure, I'm afraid even the best medical ninja in the world can't do anything about it. After all, this is a serious congenital deficiency."
Hearing the same trial again, Ranmaru's expression darkened significantly.
But Yakushi Kabuto immediately changed his words, "But if he can walk like a normal person every day and solve his physiological problems on his own, there is no way."
"How to do?"
Yiyong couldn't tell whether what Kabuto Yakushi said was true or false by his expression, so he could only ask for more detailed steps.
"Medical ninjutsu is powerless against this situation, but if we use the changes in the properties of thunder to perform weak electrical stimulation, it should be able to temporarily activate his weak body cells. For ordinary people, this treatment method is tantamount to seeking death.
It’s a different path, but it’s just right for him.”
"Then why don't you try it now?"
Gui Deng Shui Yue urged.
"I can't do it myself. With the precision of human manual operation, doing this will cause irreversible harm to the patient no matter what."
Kabuto Yakushi explained seriously: "To use this therapy, you must use a medical device newly invented by my teacher to perform subtle electrical stimulation, otherwise the basic requirements of treatment will not be met at all."
In fact, Orochimaru did create such a machine, but it was not for medical purposes, but a "torture machine" that could still generate electrical signals in the brain after death to collect intelligence. But according to the principle, the pharmacist
Kabuto thought that thing should be able to solve Ranmaru's problem of weakness in his lower limbs, so he wasn't just talking about it.
"Then where is the machine you mentioned?"
Gui Deng Shui Yue asked.
"My teacher has established many secret bases in this country to take in orphans living in various parts of the Water Country, provide them with food and shelter, and of course help them treat their illnesses."
The pharmacist finally brought the topic to his real purpose.
"One of the bases, not far from here, has a machine like this inside."
Pharmacist Doudou paused for a moment, with a tangled expression that said, "I'm taking a lot of risk in telling you this." "If you are willing to believe me, I can take you there to give it a try. If you don't want to stay there, wait until the treatment is completed.
Just leave. My teacher is not at home, and I am alone. I can't stop you even if I want to, right?"
Hearing this, the three of them exchanged glances and gave an answer that satisfied Kabuto Yakushi.
"Then please lead the way."
A day when my mind is so fuzzy and I don’t know what I’m writing.
