Escape From Konoha Chapter 634

  Chapter 634 Transformation

  After entering the jurisdiction where the medical department is located, the chilling atmosphere disappeared.

  Sakura saw a tall building similar to a pyramid structure in the desert at first glance.

  The thick base, the straight sloping edge, the steeper and sharper it goes up, facing the sky straight, standing in this area.

  The material used in the building is a smooth white stone with a lot of opaque glass. Compared with Konoha's medical department headquarters building, it should be said that the decoration is extremely artistic.

   It makes people feel unnaturally, and it feels good to work here.

  There are tall courtyard walls around to standardize the area of ​​the medical department, and the work area and green planting area are also divided within the courtyard wall.

   The entrance and exit are guarded by the gatekeeper ninja, who is responsible for verifying the identity.

  Before entering this building, you can smell the faint smell of disinfectant.

   "How about it, the environment here is not bad."

  Hanami Haruka, who was in charge of leading Sakura in, asked with a smile.

   "Yes, I feel a completely different atmosphere from Konoha. Especially those ninjas trained outside... do they 'work' like this every day?"

  Sakura thought about it, but she still asked this question.

   For the ninja who had undergone rigorous training in the practice field before, he was obviously still shocked, and he will never forget it for a long time.

   "Well, they are ninjas belonging to the combat department, unlike our medical ninjas, their work, apart from training and fighting, they usually have nothing to do except for certain holidays."

   Hanami Haruka thought about it and answered this question.

   She has received the new education of the Oni Ninja School since she was a child, and she doesn't think it's strange.

   Instead, it is taken for granted.

  After all, ninjas in the country of ghosts do not undertake jobs outside their own country, nor do they need to be like ninjas in other countries. They need to complete tasks to earn living expenses and maintain their livelihoods.

  Go to the battlefield during the war, exercise in peacetime, and have a fixed salary every month. If you perform well during the period, of course there will be additional bonuses.

  For their family members, there will also be so-called additional preferential policies.

  However, considering that recruiting too many personnel may also become a burden on the country, in this regard, the military still adopts the strategy of only recruiting elites.

   Otherwise, the size of the military can at least be expanded by one round.

  Even so, the military power of the ghost country is steadily increasing every year.

  Whether it is the improvement of weapons or the quality of ninjas and mass-produced ninjas, they have become stronger and stronger through the accumulated physical and mental tempering.

   "Okay, you will understand these things naturally in the future... I heard that in addition to being proficient in medical ninjas, you also seem to be proficient in combat skills. A ninja like you who is both medical and combat has enough conditions, and you can be promoted here soon."

   Hanami Haruka tilted her head and said so.

   There was a bit of envy in his tone.

  She is a ninja who specializes in medical ninjutsu, but is not good at fighting.

  Even the self-awakened Blood Succession Boundary focuses on medical treatment rather than combat.

  Medical ninjas like Sakura are very rare.

  Sakura didn't know how to answer, so she could only forcefully smile, which was her response.

   Entering the building of the medical headquarters, the smell of disinfectant became stronger.

   Hanami Haruka led the way, introducing the environment here and the situation of each department to Sakura.

  It is said that it is a medical department, which also has the function of a hospital. Along the way, you can see ninjas injured due to practice, accompanied by nurses, wrapped in bandages, or walking in wheelchairs in the spacious corridors.

   Judging from his physical injuries, the degree of practice or ninjutsu is very intense, and the level is not low.

   Otherwise, I wouldn't have made myself like this.

  The eyes of these wounded ninjas are calm and sharp, but the appearance gives people the feeling that they are no different from ordinary people. Except for the eyes, they look the same as ordinary people. Obviously, they have completely restrained their breath. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for the nurses who take care of them.

   After all, according to Sakura's experience, these injured ninjas must have had a lot of blood on their hands, and they are not fledgling novice ninjas.

  The medical headquarters building has a total of eight floors.

  The hospital area is located on the first to fifth floors, with everything from surgery and internal medicine, as well as pediatrics and psychiatry, which are relatively new to Sakura.

  A place like Konoha would never divide these things so meticulously and completely.

  According to Hanami Haruka, the children's department corresponds to the student group of Ninja School.

  Sakura noticed that the ninja school in the Oni Land was also established in the military area for closed training, instead of being independent in the city, even ordinary residents can come in and out at will.

  As for the department of psychiatry... it seems that Konoha is planning to establish a department in the past one or two years.

   Leading the establishment of the psychiatric project and cultivating related medical ninjas is the vice president of Konoha Hospital who has defected Asami Masumi...

  When Sakura thought of this, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

  Even if there is no need to guess, the funds Konoha invested in this department in the past two years have all been in vain. They are on the wrong path and gone forever.

   It is estimated that in a short time, don't let this project get on the right track.

  As for the upper three floors, there are office and conference areas.

   is the area where all levels of management in the medical sector are located.

  In addition to the eight floors above the ground, there are five floors underground.

  Divided into warehouse and research area.

  Considering that it was the first day, Hanami Haruka did not lead Sakura to visit the underground area. The situation there was much more complicated than the above ground area.

  After visiting the hospital area on the first five floors, Hanami Haruka took Sakura to the office and conference area above the fifth floor.

  The main thing is to memorize the route, which department's office area, where they are, and who is the manager.

   About a week later, Sakura will officially start working here, and she must contact the management here. Knowing about it in advance will save a lot of trouble at that time.

  After visiting the sixth floor, the two walked to the seventh floor.

  Passing by a rest area, I saw a young woman in her twenties walking towards her.

  Shoulder-length brown hair, dark brown eyes, thigh-length black shorts under a white skirt, and a white coat with a signature pen hanging on the outer pocket of the coat. In terms of appearance, she may be younger than her appearance.

  The breath is steady, the breath is long, and every step is extremely stable, without any flaws.

  Sakura's heart was slightly awe-inspiring.

  This kind of flawless posture, even an ordinary Jonin, probably doesn't have it.

  Based on her feelings, she has only felt the calm, steady, introverted and confident aura of the other party from a few people among the leaves.

  Although it is not exposed, but if you stand there and experience it carefully, you will naturally feel a terrible sense of oppression.

  Hatake Kakashi, the teacher who has defected.

   Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.

  The former Konoha senior Shimura Danzo who entered the cell.

   and her mentor, Tsunade, one of the Sannin.

   "Deputy Minister Nohara."

  Seeing this young woman, Hanami Haruka bowed respectfully.

   "Are you bringing newcomers here for a visit?"

  Lin glanced at Sakura's face.

  A student of Kakashi? Lin couldn't help showing a smile on his face, feeling very amused.

"Yes."

   "Work hard, with your potential, you can become a regular soon. So is this little girl."

  Lin nodded encouragingly to the two, and then kept her hands in the pockets of her white coat. With a gust of wind, she passed by the two and walked towards the end of the corridor.

"she is…"

  Sakura stared at Lin's leaving back, and couldn't help asking Hanami Haruka next to her.

   "The deputy director of the medical department, Nohara Lin, everyone calls her Deputy Director Nohara."

   "So young? Deputy Minister?"

  Sakura was a little surprised.

  The other party was only in his twenties, but he directly became the deputy minister of the medical department of a big country.

   For this age, it is quite young.

   "All capable people are like this. I heard that the dead Yellow Flash from Konoha was already the Fourth Hokage at the age of 24, and he was in charge of a country's military."

   Hanami Haruka answered like this.

  Sakura was taken aback, this is true.

   Some ninjas really cannot be viewed with common sense.

  Just like her former leader, Hatake Kakashi, who became a Jōnin at the age of twelve, creating the youngest Jōnin in Konoha.

   "However, although he is a deputy minister, in fact, Deputy Minister Nohara usually doesn't take care of things."

   Hanami Haruka thought of something and continued.

"Um?"

   "Because the position of Deputy Minister is originally a part-time job of Deputy Minister Nohara. Her job content is confidential, and she will only occasionally visit the medical department. Various decisions in the medical department are discussed and formulated by the directors and deputy directors of each department, and then submitted to the highest level of the military for review...that is, Master Shiraishi, who is the Minister of Military Affairs of our ghost country."

   "Is there no minister in the medical department?"

   Sakura asked in surprise.

  The deputy minister is self-willed enough to ignore things. As a result, the policy implemented by the medical department is discussed by the chief and deputy directors of each department, and submitted to the highest level of the military for review... Among them, where is the medical minister?

   "No. I heard that no suitable person has been found, so there has always been a vacancy. I heard that Deputy Minister Nohara was going to take the post of minister, but she herself refused. After all, the position of medical minister must not only have superior management and decision-making capabilities, but also have medical technology that can convince the rest. It is very difficult to achieve these two points at the same time."

   Hanami Haruka shook her head and replied.

  Although she is a key "seed" personnel in the medical department, before she has the potential and the necessary ability, she is still just an immature **** in the medical department.

  In the medical department, medical technology is above hers, everywhere.

   "Okay, let's continue to visit the front. There are still a lot of things to pay attention to here. Try to spare an afternoon to give you a general understanding. Tomorrow I will take you to their workplace for a visit, so that you can get started with the work here faster."

  Hana Haruka smiled and continued to lead the way.

  Sakura did not continue to ask, but followed the other party's footsteps closely.

   "Is the inspection work over?"

  In the spacious laboratory where only two people exist, Shiraishi is using instruments to analyze a sarcoma the size of a human head.

   After injecting the activating agent, this sarcoma the size of a human head showed a strong rhythm of life, opening and shrinking, as if learning the breathing of human beings, exhaling and exhaling.

   "It's already finished. It's really troublesome. Speaking of which, Mr. Baishi, don't you consider selecting a medical director from the medical department this year? My work here is also very busy, but I can't take care of that side all the time."

  As soon as Lin came in, she complained.

   Obviously, he is not particularly interested in the inspection work of the medical department.

  Perhaps because she is close to Zhu Zhichi and close to ink is black, she studied after Baishi and is more interested in research work.

  Lack of motivation for interest in management positions.

  If you have that time, why not spend time in the laboratory, or go out on a date with Obito.

   "At present, there is no medical ninja who can take up such a position." Shiraishi replied, and then he thought of something and asked: "By the way, you should see Haruno Sakura when you go there, right? How, what do you think of her?"

   "Judging from the written information, it is a good 'seed', just like Hanami Haruka. The 'medical talisman' she first proposed is also very valuable... The rest of the things need more observations to draw conclusions."

  Lin analyzed with considerable attitude.

  She won't look at Sakura because of her relationship with Kakashi.

  The proposal of the medical talisman is indeed very meaningful, but only the idea and conception are good, and the specific practical ability cannot be compared with the top medical ninja.

  In summary, she is a girl full of magical imagination.

   "It's rare for you to say such a comment. That child seems to be recognized by Tsunade-sensei, and it's not by accident. But as far as I am concerned, she has potential, but she is still a girl with a love brain at heart."

   Shiraishi laughed like this.

   "Uchiha...Sasuke?"

  Lin paused and understood what Baishi meant.

   "Yes, if I hadn't said the name at that time, she wouldn't have come to the Kingdom of Ghosts with me so easily. There is a high probability that she will find a way to return to Konoha... If you want to restrain her actions, you can't just start from the level of family affection, and you have to 'transfer' her will from other areas."

  Shiraishi sighed helplessly.

   "Sounds mean."

   "No, this is called the wisdom of adults. The next step is to let her gradually get used to the environment, people, and things here... Finally, use Sasuke Uchiha to give her the final blow... In this way, even if she is unwilling to hurt Konoha at that time, she will not have the idea of ​​leaving the kingdom of ghosts. And her excellent medical ability will also be owned by the kingdom of ghosts."

   Baishi shared his thoughts as if describing a trivial matter.

  For him, this is just a daily chat to pass the time, and for a disciple like Lin, there is no need to cover up or conceal it.

  When Lin heard this, she couldn't help but think of herself and Obito. It seemed that she was "deceived" by Baishi along the way.

  For a while, I don't know what to say.

  This teacher's personality is still as bad as ever.

  The control of people's hearts is still so... despicable.

   "Okay, the sample processing of the leftover meat of the Great Toad Immortal has been completed, and the next step is to assemble a new body for Lei Mingwan."

   "So fast?"

   "Well, now there is one most important question left."

   Baishi looked at the shrinking sarcoids on the instrument and fell into deep thought.

"what is the problem?"

  Lin asked curiously.

   "A pure flesh and blood body is very fragile, especially these pieces of flesh. Although they are reactivated, their essence still loses their hardness when they are alive, and their firmness is greatly reduced... So, I am considering whether to mechanize some important body parts, like the shell of a fire elf. That way, even if they face the attack of the tailed beast jade in the state of nine tails and four tails again, they can withstand it instead of being scrapped directly."

  Lin was stunned after listening.

   Baishi's idea really surprised her.

   "In this way, wouldn't the workload of the project team where Asuka belongs increase again?"

  Lin asked this question.

  Incorporating mechanized parts into flesh and blood is obviously something that Asuka's project team can only accomplish.

   But the body of a fire elf over there has already kept them busy.

  She went there to inspect, the roar of machinery, the noise of personnel, day and night.

  As a member of the team, Asuka's eyes were bloodshot. It is estimated that he has been busy for many days and nights, and he hasn't had a good rest with his eyes closed.

  Now, if we talk about Lei Mingwan's mechanized parts, let's throw it over there too…

  Regarding Lin's hesitation, Baishi replied without thinking:

  “I think this is a great opportunity to exercise the ability of flying birds.”

   Konoha, hospital, operating room.

  Naruto was lying on the operating table, his face was dripping with sweat, as if he had gone through an extremely difficult battle, which made his face extremely pale, and he bit his lips tightly, enduring some kind of pain.

  His right arm, which was cut off by the Sky Feather Girl, has been reattached at this time, and the wound is wrapped with a medical bandage.

  Even so, the bandage was still stained with a little blood, seeping out and staining a small piece of the bandage red.

   It was Tsunade standing beside the operating table.

  The basin of clear water next to it had already been soaked in blood and was stained red.

  The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant water formed an unusually pungent smell.

   "Okay, as long as you don't move this arm, with your physique, you can recover in half a month."

   Tsunade also breathed a sigh of relief.

  The first thing she did when she came back from the Iron Country was to help Naruto connect his broken arm.

   This job is not difficult, but the process is extremely cumbersome and consumes a lot of her energy.

  Actually, if Naruto can take the initiative to connect the sage charm in his body, maybe he can directly connect his arm without spending too much time.

  Unfortunately, if you want to take the initiative to hook up the Immortal Talisman, according to Fukasaku Immortal's narration, you need to learn the complete Miaomu Mountain Immortal Art.

   "I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama..."

  Naruto smiled weakly, and said gratefully to Tsunade.

   "If you want to thank you, don't move around for the next half month and take good care of your body."

   Tsunade said so.

  She knows Naruto's stubbornness. In order to prevent Naruto from not listening to the advice, she can only declare once again, telling Naruto not to do too strenuous exercise within half a month.

  Cultivation is even more forbidden.

   Naruto lying on the operating table, looking at the electric lights hanging from the ceiling in the operating room, seemed to have fallen into a strange silence.

   After a long time, Naruto's blue eyes turned around and fixed on Tsunade's face, and asked softly:

   "Grandma Tsunade, answer me seriously, did I kill... Sakura?"

  Although the consciousness was taken away by Kyuubi at that time, some consciousness was still retained, and he was fighting against Kyuubi in his body.

  He vaguely remembered that he, who had turned into a monster, sprayed a sphere with terrifying chakra energy towards the sky, detonating the sky.

   And Sakura is located in that direction, within the attack range.

   For a moment, Naruto felt a deep sense of guilt and remorse.

  He didn't know whether Sakura was dead or alive, although Captain Yamato had visited him before, and said that Sakura didn't die, but was brought to the ghost country.

   But Naruto still needs proof from others.

  Compared to Captain Yamato, Tsunade, as Hokage, has more prestige in his words.

  He looked at Tsunade expectantly, hoping she could tell him the correct answer.

   Is Sakura dead?

  Under Naruto's hopeful gaze, Tsunade did not hesitate, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Sakura is not dead, she was taken to the kingdom of ghosts, and she is still alive and well."

   "I see, that's great...so good..."

   Looking at Naruto who was crying with joy and kept wiping away the tears from his eyes, Tsunade didn't know what to say.

   Do you care about your companions, or do you not care about your own safety at all?

   Such a guy, what an idiot.

   "Then can Sakura come back and become a Konoha ninja?"

   Wiping away tears, Naruto asked the question again.

   Tsunade didn't know how to answer Naruto's question for a while, so he chose to remain silent.

  Based on Naruto's current state, it's best not to think about anything, and rest in peace of mind for half a month, which will help in recovery.

  After all, the Nine-Tails Chakra ran amok this time because the emotions were too intense, which caused the Nine-Tails Chakra to leak uncontrollably, and instead controlled Naruto's own consciousness.

   Therefore, it is best not to explain to Naruto something like this that is likely to cause a strong mental impact on Naruto, so as not to stimulate the other party's mind at this time.

  But this is not the first time Naruto has experienced the fact that his companion has become a traitor.

   And this time as a direct party, how could he not understand?

   Tsunade sighed, not wanting to deceive Naruto, and replied: "This question is more difficult to define...From the information collected so far, because Sakura does not have a traitor in a subjective sense, but is forced...Although some people in the village think it can be regarded as rebellion, others feel that there is still a possibility of fighting for it, and they are arguing endlessly about it."

"That…"

   "In a short time, the village will not directly treat Sakura as a traitor."

   Tsunade interrupted Naruto and gave an answer.

   But the actual operation will be very difficult.

   Not to mention whether the Oni Nation will block it, asking Sakura to choose a side from her family and her past village... is also a matter that makes Sakura feel extremely tormented.

   "In other words, is it possible for Sakura to come back?"

   Naruto's blue pupils seemed to be full of vitality, and he looked at Tsunade with burning eyes.

"…Yes."

   Although this possibility is slim.

   But in the future, no one can say for sure.

  As far as Tsunade personally is concerned, I don't have any expectations for this.

  Her student, Chiba Shiraishi, won't give anyone an opportunity to win people's hearts.

  But it is impossible for Naruto to completely stop this idea.

   "I understand, I will bring Sakura back. Just like Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei..."

   Watching Naruto's calm face gradually recover, Tsunade was slightly surprised.

  In normal times, Naruto would definitely yell and say such things.

   But now I don't feel that way at all.

   "Grandma Tsunade."

"Um?"

  Hearing Naruto suddenly calling him, Tsunade glanced over.

   "I will be obedient and rest, and then I will practice hard."

  Naruto's face is filled with a smile, which is still so touching.

"oh oh."

   Tsunade nodded in a trance.

  I feel that Naruto has changed, but it seems that nothing has changed.

  Pubbers in adolescence are really strange.

   (PS: Lei Ming Wan—the flesh and blood are weak, the machine is soaring! Father, I am no longer a dog!)
