Life and death

War has the sufferings of war, but life goes on day after day.

Among the restless villagers in the village, Baishi was the most relaxed.

Because of the war, the Medical Instructor of the Medical Ninja Experimental First Class has once again switched to an unknown Anbu.

At the beginning of the war in which Sunagakure attacked the Land of Fire, Tsunade had already gone to the front lines to help the Konoha ninja fight Sunagakure. His younger brother Nawaki also went to war. I hope he's safe.

War is a meat grinder.

A few months after the start of the war, in July of that year, it was summer, and the breeze was mixed with a slight sultry heat.

Shiraishi has successfully advanced to fifth grade, physical training, ninjutsu, natural energy research, it's all happening regularly.

The first batch of medicines developed with natural energy was finally developed by Shiraishi after months of unremitting efforts and a huge investment of funds.

This is a thumb-sized pill that contains many medicinal materials, most importantly, by incorporating natural energy into this medicine, its effect doubles.

Shiraishi's research has long shown that natural energy is violent but has great vitality.

If there are no other substances to counteract the negative effects of natural energy, there is a high probability that he will be killed immediately.

Unless you are the type of person who is born with natural energy, this type of person Shiraishi has not yet seen, and whether or not a person is born with natural energy is an unknown question.

The effect of this new drug enhances Shiraishi's comprehensive physical abilities, including the body's immune and self-healing abilities, as well as the general increase in strength and responsive nerves, including the ability to counterattack.

Due to the minimal side effects of this new drug, only one pill a day is needed, and the drug's effect will gradually manifest itself in the user.

The saturation of medicinal effects varies according to each person's physique and the capabilities of the processing system. Some people may reach saturation after taking it for seven or eight months. If you continue to take it, not only will it not improve your physical ability, but it will also cause serious damage to your body.

Some people can take it for more than ten months before it causes physical rejection.

Based on the report generated after the self-inspection, Shiraishi determined that the saturation time for him to take this drug was eleven months.

Once the eleven-month condition is met, the medication must be discontinued.

The saturation for Ruri is between eleven and twelve months. To be more conservative, Shiraishi set the time as eleven and a half months.

After Ruri took this drug, the weight of the Sharingan decreased significantly.

Shiraishi also plans to find some time to deliver this new medicine to Ayane and let her take it. War is imminent. If you are well prepared, you will have a better chance of surviving.

Ayane is in the hospital now.

While practicing, she deliberately twisted her leg and had to rest in the hospital for about four days.

As Shiraishi gave her many important tasks that must be completed in the hospital, she could only use this method to enter the hospital to recover.

For example--

When a pregnant woman gives birth to a baby, a baby is born with chakra, or the chakra leaves the mother's body into the baby's.

Or, when the embryo is formed, chakra is produced.

There are numerous questions.

This kind of observation task also made Ayane feel very embarrassed.

Although many pregnant women are waiting to give birth in Konoha, there is no shortage of observation materials, but...

How can you organize such a perverted task for a girl!

As the Byakugan has the functions of perspective, clairvoyance, and perception, only Ayane can do this task.

Ayane knows this too, but still wants to complain about Shiraishi's research direction.

Are all medical ninjas perverted?

It's not just watching pregnant women give birth, Ayane has to make a report and then deliver it to him. He says it will be of great use in his research.

Ayane wondered if Shiraishi wanted to be transferred to gynecology research.

What a pervert.

On Ayane's third day of hospitalization, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Please come in."

Shiraishi came in carrying a fruit basket.

"Ayane, I'm here to visit you. These fruits are a gift."

Ayane sighed and said:

"Don't worry, no one is looking around, so there's no need to cover up like that."

"Well, what are you talking about, Ayane-san, why don't I understand? I'm just coming to comfort you on behalf of my classmates..."

"Do you want me to burn these observation reports?"

"Please make sure you raise your hands."

Shiraishi no longer pretends to be stupid.

He took the parchment to write Ayane's observation report and placed it in his ninja bag.

After Shiraishi placed the fruit beside Ayane's bed, he pulled out an arm-sized medicine bag and handed it to Ayane.

"This is?"

"This is a new medicine that I developed after extracting natural energy and neutralizing it with other medicinal materials to strengthen my physique. Remember to take it after lunch every day. This goes for a month. I will send that same amount every month. deliver it on time, you'll keep taking it for eleven months."

Shiraishi knows Ayane's body well, so it's easy to conclude that Ayane's saturation is the same as hers at eleven months.

"That color is suspicious."

"The question is how effective the medicine is, no matter what it looks like. Compared to that, is there anything worth noting lately?"

"No, as you asked, I have a very stable home life."

Ayane reminisced about her family life during this period and reported it to Shiraishi.

"That's it. I have some judgments about the curse of the bird in the cage, but I can't confirm the accuracy of these inferences. Can you get information about the bird in the cage?"

"You overestimate me, Shiraishi-Kun, if I have access to this level of information, I'm more likely to get killed. This kind of information is not accessible."

Ayane said in a helpless tone.

Shiraishi was not disappointed. He could foresee this sort of thing.

"It seems like I can only find a way on my own. I won't bother you anymore. If I spend too much time with you, it's easy to arouse suspicion."

Ayane nodded and watched Shiraishi leave the ward.

Nawaki died and the news came suddenly.

It's as if the people who were still talking and laughing together yesterday are dead the next morning, causing people to feel confused.

It is said that he was eager to serve, but in the encounter, he did not obey his master Orochimaru's command, and recklessly fell into the enemy's trap, in the end, he was severely wounded died.

When Baishi heard the news, he too was shocked on the spot.

Thinking of that young man from the Senju Clan with a confident and joyful smile, suddenly died so young, Baishi felt pity in his heart.

In the face of war, even the blood of the first Hokage generation is meaningless.

In places like battlefields, one must be prepared for death.

This has nothing to do with the ninja's identity or blood.

The enemy will have no mercy just because he is the grandson of the First Hokage.

"Tsunade-sensei must be very sad..."

Although I want to visit Tsunade and comfort her, I can't do that right now.

Even a ninja with a noble identity died uselessly. What can he change as a civilian?

The human being is a creature that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, before your safety is guaranteed, reaching out will only make you more embarrassed.

Helping others is only for the strong, the weak can only take care of themselves.

Nawaki is dead and Konoha will not give him a funeral.

Now everyone is rushing to fight the enemy, life and death are out of the question, and it's too late to mourn the dead.

Even though he's the grandson of the First Hokage.

This is ninja war.

Shiraishi understood the cruelty of war.

In his previous life, he lived in a relatively peaceful time, far from the flames of war.

In recent years, he witnessed the war with his own eyes, I understood something deeply.

Birth is not worthy of joy.

Death is not worth the sadness.

To be born in difficult times is the greatest misfortune.
