Chapter 21: Chapter 021: 2 Years Later
If Asahi could manage to participate in Orochimaru's Forbidden Jutsu research through medical ninjutsu, he would finally be able to relax and laugh a little bit.
After looking at the dark sky, Asahi concluded it was very late. He returned home and took a hot bath to try to wash off the exhaustion due to training. He laid on bed and began to recall the whole process of meeting with Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's appearance was indeed a surprise, but he did not reveal any hint about his purpose, which also disappointed Asahi. As Orochimaru didn't disclose what he wanted to see, it made Asahi wonder thoughtfully.
Maybe Orochimaru thinks he had nothing of value to use yet.
Many possibilities were thought off and ruled out, and Asahi only thought on that possibility in the end. After all, Asahi had not yet fully grown up. If one day he unfortunately died in a battlefield, then even if Orochimaru attracts him now, it would be useless.
After thinking deeply about this matter, Asahi carefully planned his future steps, and finally fell asleep.
Next day, early in the morning, Asahi arrived at the meeting place on time and began his mission along with his squad.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter came and went away, and time also hastily passed. Going on missions and training day after day, just like that it had already been two years, and Asahi realized that he had been transmigrated to this Naruto world for ten years already.
…
Konoha, Year 43.
Although his two year ninja career was very thrilling, but it was also very repetitive. Every day it's either mission or training in the village. There was not even an ounce of entertainment at all.
However, for Asahi right now, training was his greatest pleasure. Feeling that everyday all he does was advancing, defeating more powerful enemies each and every time, he felt just the same that when playing MMO's in his previous life, grinding equipment and leveling to defeat the boss.
It was worth mentioning that at the end of last year, Asahi had been promoted to chunin because of his outstanding performance during missions with the recommendation of Ueno. In the same year, Asahi's class in the academy, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Kurenai Yuhi, Kato Shizune, and Sarutobi Asuma also graduated and became genin of the village.
When they graduated, they invited Asahi to their celebration party. After all, they were all students in the same class. Now they have all become ninjas of the same generation. It's estimated that this would probably be the last time everyone would come together.
Kakashi, who had been kicked out of different teams after some time, had again been squeezed out of another team, and finally met with his two destined teammates, Obito and Rin. Under the leadership of Namikaze Minato, he would have to start to perform some simple missions.
These newly graduated rookie ninjas, of course, could not perform missions like spying on information directly like Asahi did when he graduated. Their mission basically doesn't require them to leave the village, and most of them were issued by the villagers of Konoha.
Asahi really wanted to see what low-level mission Kakashi would go back to, and what kind of expression he would have at that time.
Speaking of which, Asahi and Kakashi have also met a few times in the past two years, but they didn't speak to each other, just nodded as a gesture, and then passed by each other.
"Asahi, are you going to Konoha Hospital again?" Shinohara looked at Asahi and asked.
This morning Asahi's team just got together and were preparing to pick up a mission, but Ueno received an order of Jonin assembly. With one person going to Hokage Building, the other three people would naturally disperse and go back to their respective normal day routine.
"Yes, do you want to go together?" Asahi asked.
"No, as you know, I don't really have any interest in medical ninjutsu." Shinohara laughed and said.
"I'll go back first too." Keita said.
"Sigh…" With a sigh, Shinohara said helplessly, "One of you is going home, the other one is going to Konoha Hospital, speaking of which our team has not gone to hang out together for a long time."
After calculating the time, Asahi vaguely felt that since the village urgently called Jonin for a meeting, something must have happened... maybe it was the start of a war.
With this in mind, Asahi started to talk, "It's really has been a long time since we got together to relax. Let's go to barbecue together tonight."
After said that, Asahi looked towards Shinohara said, "Shinohara, if you are free, go to the Hokage Building to inform Ueno-sensei."
"Ok! It's at 6 o'clock in the evening then, let's meet at that time!" Shinohara waved his hand and left.
"See you tonight." After saying goodbye to Keita, Asahi also walked towards Konoha Hospital.
"Asahi-kun, you're here to help again."
"Asahi, aren't you going to perform a mission today, how come you're here to help?"
Immediately after entering Konoha Hospital, someone started greeting Asahi.
Through these two years of hard work, Asahi had mastered a lot of medical ninjutsu knowledge. Even difficult ninjutsu such as [Healing Jutsu], Asahi had completely grasped it, and now he could treat ordinary wounded people, so the people at Konoha Hospital are very kind to him.
In the past two years, Asahi had also seen Tsunade several times, but no matter how hard he worked, he had never been able to have a deeper exchange with Tsunade.
However, Tsunade saw that Asahi had a really high talent in medical ninjutsu, so she would occasionally point out Asahi's mistakes a few times, but it was still far from his purpose.
"Well, Ueno-sensei has something to do, so the mission has been temporarily put on hold. Is there anything you need me to do?" Asahi asked.
"A few wounded people just arrived. You can come and help." Said a medical-nin.
"Ok!"
At 5 o'clock in the evening, Asahi ended his work at Konoha Hospital and walked towards the Konoha barbecue shop.
When he arrived, Ueno, Shinohara, and Keita had already ordered and were just waiting for Asahi's arrival.
Upon entering the house, Asahi noticed Ueno's expression. Seeing Ueno's anxious expression, he was surer of his guess, 'It seems that something really happened in the ninja world.'
"Ueno-sensei, is there something going on?" Asahi asked as soon as he sat down.
"Why do you ask that?" Ueno said strangely.
"Ueno-sensei, your expression has already betrayed you, shouldn't a ninja always hide his thoughts?" Asahi said lightly with a smile, "Ueno-sensei's face is showing a lot of anxiety, it seems that something really has happened."
"You're still as perceptive as ever, the village may be at war." Ueno sighed.
"What?! War?" Shinohara cry out in surprise.
"*Shh*, don't let anyone else hear." Ueno scolded.
"What happened?" Keita asked with a serious look.
Ueno sighed and said, "It's okay to let you guys know. After all, this matter has something to do with all of us. The Third Kazakage of Sunagakure disappeared a few months ago, and Sunagakure suspects that it was our Konoha's doing. They even asked Konoha to surrender the killer."
