"It's my treat."
Sasuke Uchiha, sparing with words, said, "A barbecue restaurant tonight."
Nara Shikamaru was taken aback.
He originally meant to say that everyone except Naruto Uzumaki should share the cost equally.
"As expected of Sasuke-kun!"
Sakura Haruno's eyes immediately lit up, and she said.
"Small change."
Uchiha Sasuke said nonchalantly.
"Thank you."
Naruto scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Although his status has changed, he can still sense that his friends' attitudes towards him haven't changed.
This touched him deeply.
He also didn't want their friendship to be affected by the change in their status.
Compared to the surprise of Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, and others, the villagers of Konoha felt disbelief.
They never imagined that the little boy they usually disliked was actually the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
To speak so disrespectfully to one's savior is utterly unbecoming of a human being.
Many villagers felt extreme guilt and pangs of conscience.
Ichiraku Ramen.
"Naruto is actually the son of the Fourth Hokage?"
Changpu instinctively covered her mouth.
"Naruto has really suffered."
He typed it out with a sigh.
He is clearly the son of a hero, yet he does not receive the treatment he deserves.
"Dad, did you know all along?"
Changpu looked at him and asked.
While the other villagers all disliked Naruto Uzumaki, he was the only one who treated him very well.
"do not know."
Shouda shook his head and said, "As a chef, one should treat every guest fairly."
"They'll never dare treat Naruto like that again!"
Changpu clenched her fist, gave a soft snort, and said.
"Definitely not."
Seeing this, Tetsuya couldn't help but smile. "When Naruto comes over tomorrow, I'll have to make him a super big bowl of char siu rib ramen."
"I'll treat him!"
Ayame immediately said, "The Fourth Hokage is one of my idols!"
After half an hour.
While the gifted students were still taking their lunch break, Kitazawa put down his pen.
He has already written the first version of the prescription.
Nagato's legs had been disabled for many years, and the damage was already irreversible.
Kitazawa needs to constantly adjust the prescription based on his recovery progress.
From then on, there might be more than a dozen versions of the prescription.
That's all for now.
Kitazawa handed the prescription to Konan and said, "The Akatsuki organization will cover the cost of the medicine."
"Ah."
Xiao Nan nodded.
"Many of the medicinal herbs on it are quite rare, so to save time, we're using a two-pronged approach."
Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, "Have the Akatsuki search first. If they can't find them, I'll ask the Nara clan for help."
The Nara clan has considerable influence not only in Konoha but also in the Land of Fire.
The reason is that they have extremely high IQs.
Sometimes even the daimyo of the Land of Fire would consult them.
Xiao Nan looked at the prescription and nodded.
However, she did not intend to ask Akatsuki for help, but instead used Amegakure.
Since Hanzo's death, Amegakure and the Land of Rain have effectively been under the control of the Akatsuki organization.
However, Konan does not trust the members of the Akatsuki organization.
If they tampered with the medicinal materials, it would be very troublesome.
On this point, she trusted Kitazawa more.
"After I have all the medicinal materials, I will prepare and dispense the medicine."
Kitazawa explained his plan: "Take it for half a month first, then I'll examine it and prescribe a new prescription until the severed limb can regenerate."
"Thank you."
Xiao Nan said with a serious expression.
"This is my order. I'm giving you two days off. Go and inform the Akatsuki."
Kitazawa stood up and said, "I'm going to class now. See you tomorrow."
His warrant could prove her identity as a member of the secret service.
However, that's all there is to it.
Xiao Nan watched him leave the office.
She looked away and her gaze fell on the prescription in her hand.
I wonder when we'll see Nagato stand up again.
Xiao Nan cheered up.
In any case, there is finally hope now.
Kitazawa arrived at the ninja academy's training ground.
"Teacher Kitazawa!"
Yamanaka Ino jogged up to him.
She stopped abruptly, her golden hair swaying in the air.
"We're treating Naruto to barbecue tonight, do you want to come?"
Yamanaka Ino asked with an expectant look on her face.
"Sasuke-kun paid for it!"
Sakura Haruno immediately began promoting Sasuke Uchiha.
"My mom just happened to give me some pocket money."
Uchiha Sasuke met Kitazawa's gaze, turned his head away and said, "It wasn't on purpose that I invited him to eat barbecue."
"Since Sasuke is treating, I definitely have to go."
Maruhoshi Kosuke's voice rang out.
"Kakashi, what about you?"
Kitazawa smiled and asked.
"I'm free tonight, I can go."
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha's awkward expression, Kakashi Hatake suddenly remembered him from the past.
At that time, both Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara were there.
"Alright, we'll all go."
Kitazawa patted Yamanaka Ino's head and said.
"Great!"
Yamanaka Ino smiled happily.
Seeing this, Hinata Hyuga subconsciously took two steps and came to Kitazawa's side.
"Eating barbecue is for tonight; what we should be doing now is training."
Kitazawa withdrew his hand and said.
"Yes, Mr. Kitazawa!"
Yamanaka Ino skipped and hopped away.
Kitazawa looked at Hinata Hyuga.
"I...I'll go to training too."
Hinata Hyuga said subconsciously.
"If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Kitazawa tapped her forehead and said.
"Ok!"
Hinata Hyuga happily went to training.
"I should have recognized him sooner."
Maruhoshi Kosuke suddenly spoke up.
"Is Kosuke-senpai talking about Naruto?"
Kitazawa asked upon hearing this.
"Ah."
Kosuke Maruboshi recalled, "The Fourth Hokage was a very good ninja; he even bandaged my wounds once."
Kakashi Hatake fell silent.
Kosuke Maruboshi and Minato Namikaze only met once.
But he was different; he was Minato Namikaze's student.
That was a long and unforgettable time.
"It's all in the past now, and the Fourth Hokage wouldn't want to see you all so sad."
Kitazawa said in a deep voice, "The most important thing is to live in the present."
You're right.
Maruhoshi Kosuke was startled and said, "I am not as good as you."
He has never been able to let go of the mistakes he made when he was young, which is why he is still a genin (lower-ranking ninja) to this day.
Kakashi Hatake opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Some things are not so easy to let go of.
Kitazawa knew that too.
But he didn't say anything more.
