A qualified gardener is one who constantly records the development of the fruit.

"wait for me."

After settling him into his room, Kiyoshi asked Kurenai to go upstairs first, as he had some things to take care of.

"it is good."

Kurenai's heart skipped a beat.

Her complexion turned rosy, and even her fair collarbones were tinged with pink.

She's not a clueless child anymore.

What else can two people do when they check into a hotel?

It can't possibly be a whole night of shogi, can it?

……

"You're looking for me?"

Upon returning to Konoha, Kiyoshi immediately went to the Hokage Building.

He left some barriers here, which, once triggered, will notify his puppet clones.

The puppet clone contacted him again.

"Hokage-sama."

Uzuki Yugao looked up in surprise.

Just as she and Gekko Hayate were about to leave, they finally met Kiyoshi.

The two had arrived at the Hokage Building quite early to wait, but unfortunately, no one was in the Hokage's office.

Kiyoshi is the Hokage, but he doesn't waste too much time here. Sometimes he comes for a few minutes a day, and sometimes he doesn't come for several days in a row.

Therefore, many ninjas actually see more of the Root leader, Minato Namikaze.

The Roots, which had been lurking in the shadows, also gained dramatic fame, and many people began to pay attention to this previously unknown organization.

"Evening Glory and Gale."

Kiyoshi raised his eyes and continued to ask:

Has your illness improved recently?

"I'm feeling better, Hokage-sama."

Gekko Hayate suppressed the urge to cough, trying his best to appear nonchalant in front of Kiyoshi.

"I'm here to ask the Hokage to let me leave the Anbu. I want to stay at the Ninja Academy as an examiner or teacher."

Gekko Hayate spoke before Uzuki Yugao could.

Uzuki Yugao was taken aback, not expecting Gekko Hayate to say that.

She quickly spoke up:

"Swiftwind, have you gone mad?"

The treatment in the Anbu is much better than teaching at the Ninja Academy.

"I'm not crazy, this is what I want to do."

Moonlight Gale shook his head.

"Xiyan, I don't want to be treated for my illness anymore. It's pointless. Let me have an easier time in the last few years of my life."

Moonlight Gale Road.

Hearing what Gekko Hayate said, Uzuki Yugao's eyes widened.

"I respect your choice."

Kiyoshi took out the personal file belonging to Hayate Gekko from the archives, wrote a few casual notes, and then transferred him to teach at the Ninja Academy.

"I will send someone to help you get used to teaching at the ninja academy."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Moonlight Gale bows respectfully.

After saying that, he left without even looking at Uzuki Yugao's expression.

"Hokage-sama, I..."

Uzuki Yugao's bright red lips opened and closed a few times, as if she wanted to say something.

But what else could she say?

The department's funds are already depleted, and even if the funds were doubled, would the research on bloodline diseases really yield any results?

Every day that is delayed, Moonlight Gale's condition may worsen, and his suffering may last longer.

She simply couldn't bear to see her companion suffer like that.

Leaving the Anbu and becoming a ninja academy teacher is indeed a good choice.

"Has the funding run out?"

Kiyoshi seemed to see through Yugao Uzuki's confusion and spoke up.

"Um……"

Uzuki Yugao nodded, her long purple hair shimmering in the sunlight.

Her porcelain-like, exquisite face seemed to be coated with a layer of gold.

The current Uzuki Yugao is very beautiful.

Kiyoshi looked at Uzuki Yugao with admiration.

Uzuki Yugao has grown up so much.

It's time to harvest the fruit.

"With Konoha's current medical technology, even if we invest several times more, it will probably all be a waste of money."

"I know."

Uzuki Yugao nodded.

Ultimately, it's just that she doesn't want to admit it.

The realm of bloodline limits has always been studied, with people yearning to obtain power equal to that of bloodline limits.

Unfortunately, very few people have ever succeeded in curing the intractable diseases that arise from bloodline limits.

"Actually, there is a complete solution."

Kiyoshi tapped his fingertips on the table.

As expected, Uzuki Yugao stared intently at Kiyoshi, wanting to know what the solution was.

At that moment, Qing Si revealed a sorrowful expression and spoke in a heavy tone.

But then, his tone shifted, revealing a glimmer of hope:

"Fortunately, I spent the whole night studying it, and with Professor Nono's company, my thinking became much clearer."

"You mean...there's a cure?"

Uzuki Yugao immediately grasped the key point and pressed for an answer, a spark suddenly igniting in her eyes.

"Of course, in fact, I have already prepared some initial doses of the medicine."

"It's a quiet moment," Kiyoshi said.

Of course, this is all just a smokescreen.

Bloodline diseases are certainly difficult to treat, but it also depends on the individual.

Kiyoshi's medical ninjutsu skills have placed him at the pinnacle of Konoha.

Moreover, he received the true teachings of Nono and Tsunade, as well as the "Dark Medical Ninjutsu" from the Land of Demons, which specializes in modifying the body and using "Mouryou power".

Making minor modifications to some people is not a big problem.

Moonlight Gale hasn't reached the late stage yet.

At least it's after Naruto has grown up, as depicted in the original work.

He died so young purely because he was hampered by illness and his poor performance in actual combat; he couldn't beat Machiavelli.

"Wait, Hokage-sama."

She suddenly remembered something, and her tone became somewhat uneasy.

"I'd like to ask first... how much do these medicines cost?"

Uzuki Yugao asked cautiously.

The surprise came so quickly that she was almost in a daze. She had originally thought that she would have to go through a long and complicated examination, and that treatment would be a long way off, but she never expected such an unexpected joy.

"Hmm, it cost five hundred million taels, I think..."

Kiyoshi said it casually.

Since it's all fake anyway, we'll naturally exaggerate it.

"Five...five hundred million taels!?"

Uzuki Yugao, who had been full of anticipation, was as if doused with cold water and instantly sobered up.

Such a high cost likely illustrates the enormous cost of pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Once the drug is on the market, her department will be disbanded after completing its mission.

Will she and Moonlight Gale be able to purchase such medicine by then?

Some medications require long-term use to be effective.

If they are unable to pay, does the company really have to foot the bill out of its own pocket?

They originally planned to work together to save money to pay off the debt, but judging from the amount, they didn't know when they would be able to pay it off.

"How can money measure the bond of friendship between us?"

Kiyoshi suddenly shook his head, interrupting her thoughts with a serious expression.

Uzuki Yugao was at a loss for words. This kindness was too heavy, too heavy for her to know how to repay.

Her throat tightened, and a surge of gratitude welled up in her chest, making it difficult for her to utter even a complete thank you.

"Lord Hokage... I really don't know how to repay you."

Her voice was slightly choked up, unlike her usual calm and composed mature self; instead, she sounded like a helpless girl.

In her memory, Kiyoshi was always a highly respected, upright, and gentle senior.

No one but him has ever offered help so unreservedly.

"It's nothing."

Qingsi shook his head.

"Come to my house tomorrow night to pick up your medicine."

He has something to do tonight.

"……it is good."

Uzuki Yugao nodded earnestly.

She was already thinking about how to repay Kiyoshi.

What could a high-ranking and powerful figure like him possibly offer as a token of gratitude to someone as lowly as his undercover agent?

Uzuki Yugao couldn't figure it out.

She remained kneeling on one knee, and just as she was about to get up, she unexpectedly felt a burning gaze.

That gaze quickly swept over her full heart and then moved elsewhere.

Uzuki Yugao immediately thought of the Naruto, who is still... single.

That's right, he doesn't have a publicly acknowledged girlfriend.
