Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Aokawa, taking one puff of his cigarette after another.
Orochimaru has already left; he can't afford to cause further losses to Konoha...
According to the regulations.
As two disciples of the rogue ninja Orochimaru, they were obviously to be sent to the interrogation department for thorough questioning.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi did not do that.
Two children... Even if they've been brainwashed by Orochimaru, he can easily tell.
He didn't serve as Hokage for so many years for nothing.
Therefore, they easily tested the waters.
That's when the tragic scene that just happened in the office occurred.
Obviously.
That girl named Anko was a scapegoat, a smokescreen used by Orochimaru to cover up his operations.
But this girl from the Uchiha clan...
Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, dared not look at her with the same gaze he had shown to Anko.
The fact that both Uchiha and Orochimaru were recommended for admission was enough for him to take it seriously!
Whether or not to abandon a pawn is another matter.
The value that already exists within the young girl is not to be underestimated.
Just that talent alone... He was able to defeat Asuma and pass the test at such a young age. Although Asuma underestimated him to some extent, his subsequent battle with the mysterious man proved everything.
"I plan to reassign you to a Jonin position."
"Xiao Qingzi, do you have any requests? ... Just tell me, and I will try my best to arrange a suitable teacher for you."
"This is the only thing this old man can do for you..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly.
Qingchuan chuckled inwardly.
Has this unconventional "interrogation" begun?
Hiruzen Sarutobi's brainwashing methods were indeed powerful.
It seems that he always puts others first and takes all the responsibility upon himself.
But if his answer doesn't satisfy Hiruzen Sarutobi...
It's likely that he'll be classified as an "ordinary Uchiha" at best.
Just like the White Fang of Konoha, who once wore the Hokage's half-sleeve and whose fame shook the ninja world.
It's all arranged perfectly...
"Grandpa Third Generation, please don't say that. You've already done so much..."
"I know my own talent. Although I have been training very hard, it seems that I am not suitable to be a ninja."
Green Tea Qingchuan spoke slowly, while lowering his head in remorse.
"If possible, could you arrange for me to be...?"
"Konoha Hospital?"
"This is my only request."
Indeed.
Qingchuan's ideal position is in the Dark Division, which, despite its seemingly strict system, allows him to freely escape the vortex of power and balance cultivation with actual combat.
But demanding certainty right away is practically tantamount to suicide...
so.
As a trump card, the Return Path, which comes with a 50% healing buff, came in handy.
Let's pull things along...
Now.
Now it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's turn to be dumbfounded...
Konoha Hospital?
Not talented enough?
He slashed Asuma into a bloody mess with one strike, and even dared to fight the mysterious man who had almost destroyed Konoha to a standstill.
You're telling me you don't have enough talent?
You even know that yourself?!
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of turmoil in his heart!
If he hadn't known that this girl actually knew medical ninjutsu, and seemed to be quite good at it...
I'd say flipping the table would be the least of my worries!
"Orochimaru-sensei… Orochimaru also said that when he was teaching me."
At this moment, Qingchuan, with his head down, continued to deliver the finishing blow.
"My personality... isn't suited to be a ninja. Being a medical ninja in Konoha Hospital is probably the greatest achievement I can attain in my life."
"Please grant my request, Third Generation Grandfather."
Her "green tea" traits are on full display once again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed repeatedly...
What a great Orochimaru!
Is this your revenge against me?
Are you trying to tell me that not making you Hokage was the biggest waste of your talent?
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest.
He had no doubt what Qingchuan said.
This is exactly the kind of thing Orochimaru would do!
He was once considered the most likely candidate to become Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was fully aware of Orochimaru's ambitions and the increasingly crazed look in his eyes after his election defeat.
He also felt guilty.
Therefore... we repeatedly indulged them!
As a result, this exceptionally talented girl, an Uchiha girl with the Will of Fire at its peak, has been brainwashed into this state!
Konoha Hospital?
No talent to become a ninja?
These are all distorted ideas that have been instilled in us!
Taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi puffed on his cigarette a few more times, finally calming the churning blood in his chest.
"I understand how you feel, Haruko."
"But... Konoha Hospital isn't short-staffed right now, and if you really want to be a medical ninja..."
"I do have a suitable suggestion."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen said."
In my heart, however, I had already begun to make plans...
How can we get this girl, who has been brainwashed into a blank slate, to be imbued with the color of the Will of Fire again?
"Really?!"
Green Tea Qingchuan quickly looked up, her eyes full of hope!
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly once again.
"Really, I wouldn't lie to a young girl like you."
"It might be a bit tough, and you'll often have to endure loneliness..."
Are you sure?
