Chapter 467 Pharmacist (2)

Konoha 52 years.

The third ninja war is not over yet.

As Konoha's fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato sealed Kyuubi's sacrifice, the Thunder Country in the northeast, after receiving the news, began to move around. The domestic Yunyin Village immediately mobilized a large number of Yunyin ninjas to borrow from the Tang Country to attack the territory of the Fire Country.

The war between the two countries has started several years ago, and neither side can see when the war will end.

Under such a background, everyone in each country is in danger, closing the country's gates, monitoring every move of Konoha and Yunyin on the battlefield, so as not to get angry.

The land country.

In the ninja world where war still exists, this is one of the few places where peace can still be maintained.

But under the peaceful surface, there are also many unknown secrets hidden.

The weather was overcast and cloudy, as if it was going to rain soon, and the roar of muffled thunder began to ring non-stop in the sky.

Two ninjas in black hooded coats were moving quickly through the rocky hills.

One of the ninjas was carrying a heavy black cloth bag.

"As expected of a 'witch', thanks to this woman, Danzo-sama's information site in Yanyin Village was established so quickly. In this way, this site can be used to continuously provide information to the village. However, she never thought that she would be used as an abandoned child."

Said the ninja carrying the black bag.

"It is precisely because she has not lost her ridiculous kindness that she has fallen to this point. Otherwise, with her intelligence gathering ability, she would have been promoted to management."

Another ninja sighed.

For ninjas who grow from the roots, kindness does not matter, except for causing trouble for themselves, the rest will get nothing.

They are walking in the darkness of the world, and they don't need too much emotion.

In contrast, as long as Konoha can be protected, this sacrifice is worth it.

"Don't you need to take that kid back with you? He seems to be very talented as a spy."

"That kid gave it to Orochimaru. This is a deal between Danzo-sama and Orochimaru. Besides, as long as the 'witch' is brought back, that kid will only become an obedient tool in the hands of Danzo-sama."

"Since this is the case, let's hurry up, there are more important tasks ahead. Conservative guys are really getting more and more useless. At critical times, it is still necessary for Master Danzo to preside over the overall situation."

Thinking of the tightness of the Yunyin battlefield, the ninjas at the root are also very nervous.

How long this war will last, and how many years it will take for Konoha to recover after the war, these are all unknown.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them:

"I'm very interested in your topic just now, can we chat for a while?"

The two root ninjas tightened their bodies and turned their heads with startled expressions.

"What-"

Before a 'person' was spoken, what appeared in front of their eyes was a pair of eyes shining with red light, and three pitch-black hook jades spun in the pupils, releasing powerful pupil power.

"Sharingan, you are..."

The two root ninjas wanted to resist, but their bodies gradually weakened, their eyes under the mask became more and more lax, and then they became sluggish, fixed on the ground like wooden stakes, motionless.

"As expected of you, Liuli, you subdued them all at once."

Seeing that the two root ninjas were easily subdued, a man in a white coat came out from the side and smiled at the woman holding Sharingan.

"It's just two minions, and the interrogation work will be left to you. I didn't expect that I would encounter such an unexpected joy when I came out."

"Don't worry, it's not that simple to find out the secrets in their minds. Compared to this, I'm more interested in the 'things' they carry on their bodies."

Wearing a white lab coat, Shiraishi walked up to a root ninja, and took off the black cloth bag on his back.

The black cloth bag is very large, and the contents inside are also very heavy. I can tell Shiraishi by feeling that there is a person inside.

After gently placing it on the ground, the zipper was unzipped, revealing a pale woman's face inside the black cloth bag. On a beautiful and clean face, she wore a pair of rustic round-frame glasses, and on her forehead was wearing the forehead protector of Iwagakure Ninja.

"Woman? She looks like this, is she already dead?"

Liuli frowned and glanced at this woman, but she couldn't feel the breath of a living person on her.

Baishi reached out and touched the woman's face, feeling very cold, and then said: "No, there is still one breath left."

Then, he looked at the wound on the woman's chest with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Her wound here has been treated by someone, but the wound was only half treated, and the other party ended the treatment, but fortunately, she was temporarily suspended for the last breath, so she didn't die directly."

"It's only half-healed? That's a bit strange. But, the people at the root, what are you doing to capture the Iwagakure ninja?"

Liuli was surprised by this.

Bai Shi took a closer look at the woman's face, and pinched it again with his hands, allowing the woman, who was only breathless, to put on a variety of rich expressions on her face.

His behavior made Liuli's face turn cold instantly.

"I know this woman is beautiful, but you don't have to be in heat with a dying person?"

"Where do you want to go? I just think this woman looks familiar. I fiddled with her expression to make it easier for me to recall."

Baishi turned his head and glanced at Liuli speechlessly.

Liuli sneered, expressing doubts about Baishi's words.

"It really is her."

Baishi ignored Liuli's sneer, but said softly.

Just now, he recognized the woman's identity.

"she?"

Liuli asked with interest.

She is different from Baishi, she doesn't have the slightest impression of the woman in front of her.

"Well, this woman's name is Yakushi Nonoyu, a Konoha ninja. When I was a student at the ninja school, she was a transfer student in Tsunade's class, but in the class, she didn't learn medical ninjutsu for a long time, and she left the school. Later, I heard that she was transferred to a relatively unpopular department in the village, so I rarely met her, and then disappeared..."

Looking at the two root ninjas who were immobilized by Liuli with illusion, Shiraishi was thoughtful.

"So it seems that he has something to do with that guy Danzo? From the conversation between the two just now, it can be inferred that Yakushi Nonoyu has been lurking in Yanyin Village for a long time and became a spy who sent information to Konoha, but in the end due to some special reasons, he was treated as an abandoned child by Danzo."

"Then her life experience is really rich and colorful. However, it's the first time I've heard of the root internal layoffs."

After hearing Baishi's reasoning, Liuli gained a new understanding of the roots.

"It may be because of the disagreement between the two parties. If something is wrong, Danzo will be expelled. Because of this, I have been unable to infiltrate the roots over the years to learn about their internal situation. To penetrate into their interior, the sacrifice of the intelligence personnel is too great."

Shiraishi shook his head helplessly.

As he spoke, he took Nonaiyu out of the black cloth bag, slowly laid it flat on the ground, pressed his hands lightly on the opponent's chest, and injected his celestial chakra into the opponent's body, and began to heal Nonaiyu's injuries.

Switch to the rest of the medical ninjas, it is very likely that in this case, it is judged that the other party has no need for treatment, and it is just a waste of time and chakra.

But for Shiraishi, the situation of Nonaiyu is not really beyond the point of salvation.

The medical celestial art he used can restore the celestial chakra to the original life energy absorbed by the human body. As long as he is not completely dead, even if there is only one breath left, Baishi is confident in pulling the opponent back from the gate of **** and successfully resuscitating him.

For him, there is no difference between a serious injury that is near death and a minor injury. The difference is only that there is a certain gap in the amount of chakra consumed by the two.

Liuli did not disturb Shiraishi's medical work, and stood aside quietly waiting.

After about five minutes, Shiraishi's hands left Nonoyu's chest, ending the treatment.

He exhaled lightly, and saw that Nonaiyu's originally pale face finally showed a rosy color that a living person should have, and smiled with satisfaction.

"How is it going?"

"Well, let her take a rest later, and she can recover. Next, it's the turn of the two root ninjas. I hope they can provide more information about the root in their minds."

Shiraishi stood up and walked towards the two root ninjas.

For Shiraishi, who has always wanted to know the internal situation of the root, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to obtain information about the root.

open one's eyes.

No Naiyu felt her whole body twitching in pain, but she still managed to sit up from the bed, her eyes were empty looking forward, she looked like a person who had lost her soul.

Whether it is on the face or in the eyes, there is a lifeless look.

As a living person, she seems to be no different from a dead person now.

"Your expression is very interesting, if you don't mind, can you talk to me?"

The man was leaning against the white wall, wearing a medical staff's white coat, looking at the other's lifeless face, as if he thought it was very interesting.

No Naiyu turned his head, his gaze lingered on Baishi for a while, then he retracted his gaze and continued to stare blankly ahead.

"Even if you are treated as an abandoned child by Danzo, there is no need to be so pessimistic about life, right? To some extent, you are also 'free', aren't you?"

Regarding Shiraishi's ridicule, Nonaiyu just touched his forehead in pain, and murmured in a distraught tone:

"That child...glasses...pocket...name..."

Constantly remembering and chewing these few words that make people feel unclear, the expression on No Naoyu's face became more numb and desperate.

I seem to have done something unforgivably stupid.

I shouldn't forget about that child.

By the way, who is that kid? Who am I?

Is Konoha Ninja?

Root staff?

Is the director of the orphanage?

Or the ninjas of Sand Hidden, Cloud Hidden, Rock Hidden, and Fog Hidden?

Various identities and personalities are constantly intertwined and intertwined in Nonaiyu's mind.

No Naiyu looked down at his pair of white palms, an unprecedented look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.

"who I am?"

Seeing Nonaiyu like this, Shiraishi shook his head slightly and said:

"Your name is Yakushi Nonoyu, and you are Konoha Ninja."

"I'm Yakushi Nonoyu? Konoha Ninja?"

No Naiyu began to think about the authenticity of this answer, and completely ignored the existence of Baishi.

Seeing this, Shiraishi could only sigh, and turned to leave the ward.

Time has passed a month.

When he is free, Shiraishi will still come to Nonoyu's ward and chat with her.

Compared with a month ago, the numbness on Nonaiyu's face has disappeared a lot.

She sat by the window of the ward, quietly watching the blooming flowers in the flowerpot.

Hearing the movement behind her, she turned her head and smiled, "You're here."

The smile is full of love and kindness, as if it is the cleanest smile in the world, without any impurities.

But in Shiraishi's view, No Naoyu's smile is more like a manifestation of overflowing maternal love.

Although this kind of smile looks very fake at the moment, without any sincerity.

Like a superb actor.

is imitating the emotional world of one of her personalities, and using this to establish a connection with the real world.

"Your treatment is going well, keep this mentality, and you will be discharged from the hospital in a short time."

Hearing Baishi's words, Nonaiyu still smiled, making Baishi unable to judge what her smile meant.

Her smile is more hypocritical than a fake smile.

"Really? That's really great...Thinking about it now, if I could recognize that child at that time..."

After smiling, Nonaiyu sighed in frustration, his eyes were full of loneliness and guilt.

"The kid?"

Baishi stared at Nonaiyu.

No Naiyu shook his head, sighed, pursed his pale lips, didn't say anything, just looked at the flowers in the flowerpot, and started to be dazed.

After that, about half a month passed.

No Naiyu was wearing a white hospital gown, sitting next to the flower pond in the hospital, and there were children playing not far away. She looked at this group of children who released their instincts, and her eyes could not help revealing softness.

"Miss Nonoyu, do you like children very much?"

The nurse who followed Nonaiyu saw the gentle smile in Nonaiyu's eyes, and asked curiously.

"Yeah, don't you think these kids look like angels when they laugh?"

"Angels? It doesn't feel like it. They are really naughty, and they often increase the workload of our nurses. Obviously this is not a place for games. Compared with angels, they are more like a group of troublesome little devils."

The nurse began to complain, calling these naughty children with vivid examples.

"As long as you guide them carefully, they will become good children."

No Naiyu said.

"Miss Nonoyu seems to know children very well?"

"Well... I used to work in an orphanage for a long time."

Nonayu recalled something and replied.

"So that's the case, but the children in the orphanage are different from these naughty little ghosts."

said the nurse.

"It's really different. The nature of the children here is too lively. They must not have suffered too much. And the children in the orphanage, how should I put it, are so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed."

"So, Ms. Nonoyu, you are really gentle."

The nurse smiled sincerely.

Is it gentle?

No Naiyu looked at the azure blue sky above his head, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he fell into silence.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just feel that the word gentle doesn't suit me."

No Naiyu lowered his head and said.

"Why? I see that the children here all like you."

The nurse asked puzzledly.

"But I forgot the child's name, and what he looks like... That pair of glasses... It's obviously a gift I gave him..."

Looking at No Naiyu who was in self-blame, the nurse didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to stay silent.

"I want to work."

In the office, Baishi was a little surprised when he heard that Nonaiyu made such a request.

However, Shiraishi quickly calmed down, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "As a medical ninja, you should be clear that you are not suitable for any work for the time being. Moreover, the intelligence work in the kingdom of ghosts is not as heavy as you think. If you want to use the intelligence work in the kingdom of ghosts to recreate a false identity and personality for yourself, and find a reason for yourself to live...I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't provide such or even similar business here."

"But, if you didn't value my ability as a spy, why did you save me as a Konoha traitor?"

No Naiyu looked at Shiraishi in puzzlement.

In her opinion, the reason Baishi saved her must be because of her strong professional ability as a spy.

Only in this way can her role be brought into full play.

She has the value of being rescued and drawn.

More importantly, she is used to this kind of life.

From the moment she was abandoned by Danzo, she already understood that becoming a spy was the only way for her to live.

The director of the orphanage...that's not my real self.

That's just a false personality that I played in my life that might not exist.

And spying for Baishi, this is the only way that Nonaiyu can repay Baishi.

She is now homeless after all.

This is the only place that can take her in.

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. In your life, is there no other way of life besides being a spy?"

Shiraishi asked.

"No, this is the idea that I have been instilled since I was a child. Apart from being a spy, I don't know what else I can do now."

No Naiyu said decisively.

"In this case, why did you resist Danzo and get to the point of being abandoned by him?"

Regarding Baishi's question, Nonaiyu remained silent.

She couldn't answer this question.

Sometimes, even she finds it strange.

I, who was instilled with all kinds of espionage knowledge since I was a child, should have died for the great cause of the roots...

Such a self, why would he resist the order of the roots later, and go against the will of that ninja?

"You are not suitable for spying at all."

Baishi stared at Nonaiyu's face, and said this sentence very seriously.

No Naiyu was stunned.

Shiraishi's words surprised her.

Since she was a child, she has absorbed the knowledge of various spies and grown up. And she did not disappoint Genbu. When she grew up, she became an excellent spy as she wished, lurking in various countries and ninja villages, and obtained a lot of confidential information for the root organization, which was highly appreciated by the root leader Shimura Danzo.

But Shiraishi is definitely the first and only one who said that she is not suitable for spy work.

Baishi looked directly at Nonaiyu, and in his pitch-black pupils, his eyes stabbed at Nonaiyu's body like a blade.

"Maybe you were a good spy in the past, but that's just your past. When you resist Danzo's will and follow your true self, you are a failed spy. You rely on spying to find a reason to live. In my opinion, this is ridiculous. You just don't want to face the reality of this world again, and you are afraid of losing those things that are precious to you again."

As if Shiraishi had seen through all his thoughts, Nonaiyu lowered his head deeply, not wanting Shiraishi to see his constantly dodging eyes.

And this action of hers really exposed the emptiness in her heart.

"If you really can't find anything to do, I suggest you go to the shrine and follow the priestess there to practice."

Baishi thought for a while and suggested.

"Shrine?"

No Naiyu became puzzled.

"The environment of the shrine is very suitable for cultivating health and self-cultivation. You can let go of all your troubles there and experience the real side of the world at close range. Besides, the power in your hands, besides being able to hurt others, doesn't it also have the ability to save others?"

Nano Naoyu thought it was a little funny, but he couldn't laugh.

She seems to have forgotten the fact that she is still a medical ninja with excellent medical skills.

"So, now you are just a failed spy. Your nature makes you reject the job of being a spy. If you continue to be a spy, you will betray me again sooner or later like you betrayed Danzo."

Shiraishi affirmed the existence of this possibility.

"I seem to understand a little bit."

No Naiyu said with a wry smile.

She never thought that she, who has always been an excellent spy at the root, would one day be despised and rejected by others when she was looking for a job as a spy.

The new boss's approach to things seems a bit special.

But this way of tactfully rejecting her, Nonoyu didn't feel bad.

Perhaps as Shiraishi said, her human nature fundamentally rejects the job of being a spy.

"So, should I call you Master Shiraishi now?"

"Let's talk about it after you affirm your true self and officially enter the job. Now I don't like your fake smile very much. It's like a puppet that has lost its soul and is worthless."

"Are you mad about this?"

"Your question is weird, who do you think would be mad at an empty shell?"

Shiraishi's rhetorical question made Nonaiyu really smile this time.

"Pocket..."

Drawing the timeline to the present, Shiraishi looked at the candidate's profile, which was basically the same smiling face as Nonoyu's in the past, and fell into deep thought.

Although judging from the name alone, it is still impossible to determine the relationship between this candidate named "Yaoshidou" and Nonaiyu, but Nonayu did mention the word "dou" in the past, and the surname of Pharmacist...

Shiraishi doesn't know much about Nonaiyu's past.

Because No Naoyu rarely mentioned his past in front of people.

What Shiraishi learned from Nonoyu was limited to the root information.

The rest of the matter belonged to Nonaiyu himself, and Shiraishi had no intention of exploring it further.

But Shiraishi has always known that since then, although Nonaiyu has re-confirmed her true self, the knot in her heart has not been completely untied.

In her heart, she was still avoiding certain things that she didn't want to recall.

Wandering Miko is a job she deliberately chose to paralyze the past. Only by continuously devoting your limited time to work can you prevent yourself from thinking wildly.

"A double-agent between Gen and Orochimaru? It's like repeating Nonoyu's life..."
