Chapter 37: Terumi i's Thoughts
Mirukawa Kaito, who was being stared at by i with a complicated expression, was completely confused at the mont.
"Envy ? And Zabuza?"
"Yes."
Kaito put down his chopsticks and looked at i in confusion. This child was not a sentintal person. Besides, he and Momochi Zabuza were both orphans. What was there to envy about them to i, who had both parents?
"You want to be an orphan too?"
i almost choked to death over these words, and her emotions beca incoherent for a mont.
She gave Kaito a cold look.
"What are you thinking! I'm just envious of the way you beca a genin."
After being interrupted by Kaito, i's mood recovered a little and she began to explain the reason for her envy.
"You know what? Actually, when I graduated last year, the Jōnin Yagura ca to see ."
"Looking for you? Could it be..." With such a shocking piece of news coming out suddenly, Kaito couldn't believe his own guess for a mont.
"Yes, he asked to do what Zabuza did this year. Because I was the top student that year, he had no other choice but ."
"With your father's connections, how could Karatachi Yagura let you do such a thing?"
As a veteran jōnin, his connections in the village are obviously not limited to Ao. If juniors like Karatachi Yagura dare to underestimate him just because he has retired from the ninja sequence, they will definitely suffer.
"He went to see my father first. He told to make my own choice." i paused for a mont, looking at her bowl of noodles, and said, "I refused."
"I didn't know at the ti if doing this could really change the village policy. If it failed, my hands would be stained with the blood of my companions." Having said that, i looked at her hands as if she was a little dazed.
Without waiting for Kaito to comfort her, she continued with a trembling voice: "Even so, I was still stained with blood during the graduation exam. I just wanted to steal her badge, but I ended up killing her by mistake."
"This..." As a person who avoided exams, Kaito didn't know how to comfort her.
But at this ti, i might just want soone to talk to.
"I thought this was the fate of the Blood Mist Ninja until I t you. You were promoted to Genin through dical ninja, and you were not stained with the blood of your fellow villagers."
Kaito previously thought that the ninjas from those big clans were not stained with the blood of their companions because they didn't need to go to ninja school at all.
But he was not Momochi Zabuza after all, so he did not explain anything at this ti.
"Later, in this year's graduation exam, Zabuza accomplished what I didn't dare to do back then, and he succeeded in the end."
"So when you two beca my teammates, I was actually very envious of you. I've always wondered, is soone like who doesn't have the courage to take on all this and has been stained with the blood of my companions really qualified to be the Kage of the village?"
"Of course you can beco the Mizukage. This is my judgnt based on my reading of the original work." Seeing this ten-year-old girl with such a heavy heart, Kaito silently cheered her up in his heart.
At the sa ti, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on i's reddish-brown hair. Blue, who was working hard to eat, saw his master like this and also put his little hand on i's hand.
"You just have to believe in the path you are on and move forward with big strides. i, I also believe that you will beco the best Mizukage."
The Kirigakure Village, which is usually shrouded in mist, was unusually sunny today. The midday sun shone through the awning of the ran restaurant onto the two people in the store, as if to dispel the haze in people's hearts.
"Pah~"
With a crisp sound, i blushed and gently slapped away the hand that was pressing on her head.
"Your trotters are all greasy, don't touch my hair!"
The little girl pretended to be angry and scolded Kaito, but the hand she used to slap Kaito away was not the one that Blue was holding down.
Kaito withdrew his hand sowhat awkwardly and rubbed Blue's head, signaling it to continue eating.
"Haha, eat, eat."
Perhaps because she had finally spoken out her deepest thoughts, i's mood quickly returned to normal and she quietly ate the ran in her bowl.
However, the atmosphere between the two seed to be much more harmonious than before.
The two of them finished their lunch quietly, and Kaito did not ntion training together in the afternoon.
After saying goodbye to each other at the entrance of the ran shop, they went their separate ways.
Kaito did not go ho, but went directly to the Kirigakure Village Hospital.
"Aunt Keiko, long ti no see."
"It's only a few days. Things in the village have been quite busy lately." When Nakamura Keiko saw Kaito greeting her, the fatigue on her face faded a little.
Recently, Kaito has often co to the hospital to improve his clinical experience, but the ti is uncertain.
Nakamura Keiko has been busy participating in the village's pre-war preparations, and the two have not t for so ti.
"Kaito, have you grown taller recently?" Nakamura Keiko said as she placed her hand between Kaito's head and herself.
"Haha, really? I didn't even notice it myself." Kaito said that he didn't care, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little.
As an adult who had transmigrated as a child, how could Kaito not care about his height? Besides, Zabuza was 183cm tall when he grew up, and he didn't want to be overtaken by a kid.
When Nakamura Keiko saw Kaito like this, the smile on her face beca a little gentler.
"It ans that you have been eating well recently."
Perhaps it was due to the hormones in his body after transmigration, Kaito felt that his ntality was getting younger and younger, and he was not averse to this way of talking to coax children.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the ward and restrained the smiles on their faces. After all, they had to appear professional when treating the injured.
The ninja lying on the hospital bed was from the Yuki Clan. Generally, ninjas from such large clans, especially those from bloodline clans, would not be sent to the hospital.
However, this ordinary Chūnin, who is not young, does not seem to have inherited the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai, and should be the kind of person who is not valued in the clan.
Although this person is a branch mber of the Yuki Clan, he is very arrogant.
The day before yesterday, Kaito's excellent treatnt saved his life, but the two of them didn't have much communication. Today, he just ca over as a routine to check on his recovery.
After briefly asking about the other person's physical condition and doing so routine checks, Kaito was ready to leave the ward.
Just as he was about to leave the ward, a young girl ca in. Well, perhaps it was not appropriate to call her a girl considering Kaito's age.
The girl who ca in looked about 16 or 17 years old, which should be considered an adult in the Naruto world. She had long black hair and dignified and gentle facial features. She gave people a gentle and kind feeling.
However, judging from her body movents, she should be just an ordinary person, so Kaito didn't care much about it.
"Sorry, little brother, I didn't notice you."
Kaito was about to correct her address with a frown on his face, but the middle-aged man on the hospital bed scolded him first.
"Nanako! This dical ninja is my attending physician. You are a trained mber of the Yuki Clan, so behave like one!"
"I'm sorry, father. Ninja-sama, I'm sorry!" After saying this, the girl nad Nanako quickly bowed to Kaito.
Kaito was also caught off guard by this situation. He just said that he didn't mind and hurriedly left the ward.
It was only after he walked out of the ward that he realized that the girl's appearance seed sowhat familiar.
But the other person is also very good-looking, and if he has seen her before, he should rember her.
Besides, this girl wasn't a ninja, and he didn't know many ordinary civilians. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply gave up on investigating further.
"What Nanako? The Yuki Clan? Her full na can't be Setsuna, right?" (I don't know but it ans.)
Kaito feels that he has once again refreshed his understanding of naming in the ninja world.
