As a powerful ninja she has seen many incredible sights, however this was a first. She could sense the similarity between the power this woman used and her Chakra.
However both these powers were different and couldn't be measured on the same scale!
After five or so minutes Shinobu stopped. By now the little girl looked a bit better, her complexion looked a bit more rosier than before.
The woman was exhilarated upon seeing this.
"Thank you. Thank you...
She kept thanking Shinobu.
"It's alright. I have to do this treatment once every week to obtain maximum results. Come back tomorrow, I'll prepare a customized prescription for her. Make sure she takes it every day."
The woman listened attentively. She was afraid she would miss something important.
After speaking a few words Shinobu saw the woman off with a smile.
She turned back and saw Naruto counting a stack of money on the counter.
"20...50...
It was funny to see the kid counting so seriously using his ten fingers.
She chuckled and lightly tapped his head, "Let's close up and go home, Naruto."
Naruto raised his head and said, "But, what about the money? There is so much...
Shinobu pinched his small nose and said with a smile, "It's alright. Put it inside, your big sister doesn't lack this much money."
Naruto wasn't sure what she meant, but he still obediently put the money inside the drawer and locked it. He made sure the drawer was locked several times before stowing away the key inside his pocket.
Shinobu laughed when she saw him holding onto his pocket tightly, as if to make sure the key was still there.
When they reached home they saw Leo already inside drinking tea with snacks.
Naruto hopped over and grabbed a few bites. Then he remembered something and quickly went to the cupboard in the hall before placing the keep inside the far corner of it's drawer.
"What's he doing?"
Leo asked curiously.
Shinobu sat down beside him and said while smiling, "He is making sure our money is safe."
She told him what happened. Leo couldn't help but smile a bit when he listened to her.
Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "What do you think of the little girl?"
Hearing him Shinobu replied, "She is human, however she possess a blood factor."
Leo was surprised, "Something passed down from her ancestors? Quite interesting."
"I know. My curiosity as a researcher is being rekindled again. However the kid is my patient and I can't step beyond that line."
Leo chuckled.
Naruto came back after completely his task. Leo rubbed his head, "Good job."
"Hehe...
Naruto grinned foolishly. Kids were like that, they would get happy at the slightest praise, especially from those they care about.
The next day.
The woman came by early. This time she along with a middle aged man. The guy looked imposing and had the temperament of a leader.
Shinobu welcomed them both inside and went to the medicinal cabinet to get a few bottles.
"These drugs was customized according to your daughter's condition. The treatment I did yesterday would clear out a lot of faults in her body."
"But since it's a sudden approach her body needs to recuperate and strengthen from the inside. These are exactly for that."
The woman carefully took the medicine from Shinobu and thanked her gratefully.
The man stood up before bowing towards Shinobu as well.
"Thank you."
He didn't speak much words, however Shinobu knew his words came from the bottom of his heart.
She smiled, "Please don't be so courteous, she is my patient, it's my duty."
The man nodded.
"Forgive me for the introductions, my name is Kurama ... and this my wife.....
Shinobu smiled, "Good to meet you. My name is Kocho Shinobu."
After some pleasant talk they were about to leave when Shinobu spoke.
"If I may, can I make a suggestion."
"Please."
Kurama ... nodded.
Shinobu pointed to the Dojo next door and said, "That's my husband's dojo, if you trust me you can enroll your daughter there. He is an excellent swordsman and a great teacher. It would be beneficial for your daughter to be under his guidance."
Kurama ... hesitated when he heard her.
When he was hesitating his wife tugged the corner of his shirt and gestured with her eyes.
Even then he didn't immediately agree. After thinking for a few moments he made a decision.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I'll come back with my daughter tomorrow."
Shinobu smiled and nodded.
Once they were gone she headed to the Dojo and saw Leo teaching Naruto a few stances.
Leo had already seen her coming and just nodded.
Shinobu waited for him to finish and stood to the side.
After ten to so minutes Leo came back and asked, "What happened?"
Shinobu curled her lips into a smile, "I got you a new student."
Leo raised an eyebrow in confusion, however he quickly thought of something, "Is it that child you mentioned yesterday?"
Shinobu nodded, "Yes. Her father will bring her here tomorrow."
Leo nodded.
Shinobu suddenly grinned, "How are you going to thank me. I got you your first student."
Leo replied, "That's Naruto."
"You know what I'm talking about."
Leo stared at her and leaned forward. He whispered something in her ear.
After a few seconds Shinobu's fave turned red, even her ears turned red like a tomato.
Leo smiled smugly.
At the moment Naruto rushed over, "Big brother, I did the... whatever you showed me. Huh? Why is big sister so red?"
Shinobu broke out from her embarrassment and glared at Leo.
The latter simply shrugged and laughed.
"Naruto, tomorrow you are going to get a fellow student. As my dojo's first student, make sure you take care of your junior well."
Leo tapped the boy's head and said.
Naruto was in a daze, "Junior...
Then he suddenly woke up and yelled excitedly, "Um! I'll take care of my junior!"
Seeing the boy's enthusiasm the two of them laughed happily.
