Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 20 The Dejected Ueda Tetsuike

"Yushu-kun?"

One day, you suddenly discover that the big boss is actually a newcomer who joined the company later than you. How would you feel?

Ueda Tetsuichi's feelings were so complicated, his tired eyes wide open.

"Ueda-class representative, since Lady Tsunade isn't here, if there's anything important, I can pass it on to you."

Upon hearing Yuuki's words, Ueda Tetsuchi forced a smile, then handed over a file, saying, "It's nothing, just submitting some materials."

Yuuki took the file and placed it in a mountain of documents.

There were two piles of documents in front of him, one unprocessed and the other unprocessed.

"...Um, you're in the hospital, what's going on?"

After hesitating for a long time, Ueda Tetsuike, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but ask.

"I'll help Lady Tsunade with some things."

Noticing that Ueda Tetsuike hadn't left, Yuuki put down his pen and gave a gentle smile. "Class President Ueda, is something troubling you?"

Ueda Tetsuike, with a full head of white hair, stood at the door, looking at Yuuki, who was working in the office, with a complicated expression.

"No, no..."

He denied it instinctively.

Yuuki is still a child.

The seedlings in the village need protection.

Ueda Tetsuchi didn't want to drag Yuuki into the mess.

“Squad Leader Ueda, I’m not a three-year-old anymore. As a member of the hospital, I can’t just sit idly by when problems arise.” Yuuki said sincerely, “For the sake of the hospital, I hope you can trust me.”

Yuuki crossed his fists, his eyes sharp, staring directly at Ueda Tetsuichi, who looked dejected.

People always change.

This medical logistics team leader, who rarely asked about anything, changed his usual laid-back attitude after encountering trouble.

Aside from the burning will of fire within him and his sympathy for his fellow indebted companions, it's hard to imagine what reason would motivate him to do such a thankless and arduous task as auditing accounts.

Of course, it's also possible that it was a sudden surge of courage.

"Alright." After hesitating for a moment, Ueda Tetsuchi made up his mind. "This matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Let's meet at our usual place tonight."

"Then it's settled."

As Yuuki watched Ueda Tetsuchi leave the office, a slight smile appeared on his face as he buried himself in his documents.

The treacherous minister himself has revealed himself!

The situation in hospitals is complex, and to gain sufficient benefits, one must never be at the forefront.

We must make more friends and kill more enemies.

Ueda Tetsuike was undoubtedly his friend.

Those who oppose Ueda Tetsuchi are undoubtedly enemies, enemies who can unleash their iron fists without restraint.

Even if I can't kill those people myself, I still have Tsunade, right?

After spending a day together, Yuuki developed a simple stereotype about Tsunade.

Is Tsunade really indifferent to being fooled?

A spirited 20-year-old scion of a powerful family willingly allowed himself to be manipulated like a fool by the local thugs at the hospital?

Absolutely not!

One hospital, two different voices—isn't that a betrayal of the Second Hokage?

"Who's right and who's wrong doesn't matter; what matters is that you're not here!"

Seeing that it was almost time to leave work, Yuuki walked out of the medical building.

Konoha Hospital not only offers good benefits, but its internship system is also quite friendly to Yuuki, who has just graduated.

No need to clock in, no need to work overtime, and no 996 work schedule or extremely low pay.

As a hospital intern, he only needs to work four hours a day.

Even without any treatment, each month is still counted as completing a C-level mission, with a reward of 50,000 taels.

"Squad Leader Ueda, there will be a surprise tonight. Go home and check on the newly unlocked building. Your strength has indeed been improving rather slowly lately."

He must accelerate the development process; there are still too many unknowns in the Zerg system.

Even without the bloodstain disease, his talent was only passable.

Expanding the quantity and quality of ethnic groups as much as possible is the key to progress.

It is estimated that the Second Shinobi World War will break out in less than a year.

If you're unlucky, being among the first to support the battlefield could mean being betrayed and have your heart and soul ripped out at any moment.

As usual, Yuuki went to Elder Chu Huo's house to check in, making Mikoto blush with embarrassment, and then went home to check on the insects.

After a quick lunch, he used his reverse teleportation to return to the loyal 'Green Green Grassland'.

He took out the savings he had painstakingly earned (through cheating and swindling) over the past few days.

After a simple inventory check, they kept the money to maintain basic living expenses.

The balance is approximately 1.7 million taels.

Based on speculation, the number of pulls for the white gacha might change after 100 pulls.

Yuuki has 55 green caterpillars and 11 unicorns, and is only 34 more draws away from achieving the feat of 100 draws.

The funding gap is only about 1.4 million.

"Let's draw them all together after we've saved up three million."

Yushu put away the funds and looked around at the pristine, lush green grassland.

In just a few days, the Green Grassland has not changed much.

Caterpillars are very organized in their grazing, adhering to a sustainable grazing path.

Yuuki shifted his gaze to the prompt in front of him, focusing on the building panels that had appeared this morning.

【Ding! 】

Congratulations on learning your first medical-related extraordinary skill and unlocking the building panel!

[Unlock - Level 1 Hibernation Nest]

Learning extraordinary skills from different systems is also a prerequisite for unlocking new functions.

However, he had already mastered the Great Fireball Technique and the Three Bodies Technique.

However, there was no prompt to unlock the new feature.

Before the system was unlocked, the ninjutsu he learned was not recognized.

Or should we limit the types of skills?

Yuuki didn't dwell on it too much, immersing his thoughts in the newly unlocked hibernation nest.

Hibernating nests are placed on the 'Hive' map.

Yuuki used reverse teleportation to go there and immediately released his spiritual power.

The dormant nest is not large, a honeycomb-shaped sphere about five meters in diameter, located next to the central insect nest.

Based on the clues and firsthand observation, the effect of a hibernating nest is not complicated.

Simply send Zerg units in, and they will be afflicted with a cocooned state, slowly regenerating health and healing any injuries.

Of course, the treatment speed is limited; it only guarantees that treatment will continue, but it does not guarantee that the patient will survive.

It's not entirely without benefits for insects to heal their wounds in their nests.

Some Zerg units will mutate after being released from cocooning.

The mouthparts, wings, and other organs that symbolize attack power are weakened, the body's vitality is greatly increased, and the skill "Healing Fountain" is learned.

After the skill is released, it has an effect similar to recuperating in a hibernation nest.

"Will I be healed if I enter a hibernation nest?"

Thinking about the new building, Yuuki entered the nest through a honeycomb opening.

The moment he entered, he suddenly felt a moment of clarity in his mind.

A wisp of emerald green mist drifted from the center of the nest, hovering above his head and enveloping his entire body, instantly easing the pressure on his physical form from the mental energy.

However, the recovery speed is limited, roughly equivalent to ten green caterpillars sharing the burden for him.

It's useful, but not obviously so.

"The unlocking of the lair is related to medical ninjutsu, so is there a connection between the two?"

Without further ado, Yuuki began practicing chakra scalpel techniques in the nest.

As expected, he clearly felt that his chakra manipulation skills had improved significantly, greatly reducing the difficulty of learning this refined ninjutsu.

Perhaps the dormant nest has a suppressive effect, making chakra easier to manipulate?

That makes sense.

If the nest has no suppressive effect, then wouldn't patients whose bodies are damaged by foreign energy be constantly torn between life and death?

The blue light kept flashing on Yuuki's fingertips.

The area covered by the chakra scalpel slowly expanded towards his palm.

"At this rate, I'll be able to master the chakra scalpel in less than three days!"

Yuuki's practice time is relatively limited.

In addition to a busy four-hour workday, they also had to raise insects, treat patients, and study other ninjutsu.

Therefore, try to master this medical ninjutsu completely within two and a half days!

Just then, a burst of smoke appeared, and a green caterpillar appeared at his feet.

It had a few pieces of paper in its mouth, and Yushu took them and looked at them.

"Uchiha Fugaku, a visit, a briefcase?"
