I rely on myself

Chapter 129 Medicine Master No Naiyu

The sun was high in the center of the sky, emitting heat wantonly, causing the temperature to rise steadily. No one was walking outside in the entire Wave Country Pier, and everyone went to the shade to cool off.

And even in such hot weather, a small boat came from the sea with two figures sitting on it. Now they were paddling hard, making the boat get closer to the dock.

Soon the boat docked at the pier, and a voice jumped from the boat to the pier before it even stopped and spoke.

"That's enough. The weather was cool this morning, but why did the sun become so strong at noon? I'm almost getting a heat stroke."

As he spoke, he did not forget to wipe the sweat that kept flowing from his forehead to prove that what the other party said was true.

At this time, another figure also jumped onto the dock from the boat. Even in such a hot day, he was still wearing a mask. However, from his wet clothes, it could be seen that he must be sweating profusely, which was very weird.

The two people were Lin Yuan and the captain of the Anbu who were responsible for the rearguard action. After dealing with the pursuit troops of Kirigakure, they found a small boat from the ship left behind by Kirigakure, and they left on the boat.

After several hours of rowing, they finally returned to the dock of the Land of Waves. Fortunately, both of them were powerful ninjas and had enough physical strength even after the battle, otherwise they would not have been able to return to the Land of Waves so quickly.

The captain of the Anbu ignored Lin Yuan's complaints, turned around and looked around, and soon found the ship that the other members of the team were on. It was now docked at the pier. Seeing this, he spoke with a knowing look in his eyes.

"The others should have returned to the hotel by now, so let's go too and reunite as soon as possible."

After saying that, he took the lead and headed towards the hotel they had rented before sneaking into the Water Kingdom. Seeing this, Lin Yuan stopped complaining and followed him.

Soon the two arrived at the hotel at their destination. After walking in and finding the booked room, the Anbu captain walked up first and knocked on the door a few times with a unique rhythm, then stepped back and waited.

Just as the Anbu captain took a step back, the door was immediately opened and an Anbu figure appeared in front of the two.

Looking at the ANBU captain in front of him, who was a little embarrassed but not obviously injured, the ANBU said in surprise: "Captain, you are back safely, it's great."

"Well, it went well."

After giving a simple answer, the ANBU captain was about to walk into the room, and the ANBU moved away from the door, and Lin Yuan followed behind him into the room.

After the two men walked into the room, the Anbu closed the door. Lin Yuan took a look and saw that the four people in the team except Lin Yuan, the three people in the Anbu team and the intelligence personnel were all there.

The people in the room were very surprised to see Lin Yuan and the Anbu captain return safely.

"You two are back safely."

"That's great. We were very worried when we saw that there were only two of you left."

"...Ah, now everyone is back safely."

Listening to everyone's words, Lin Yuan responded one by one, while the Anbu captain remained silent, just nodded in response, and quickly returned to the Anbu team to reunite.

At this moment, a hand suddenly rested on Lin Yuan's shoulder. It was Yuichi Sarutobi, the captain of the team.

The other person said to Lin Yuan with a happy smile on his face: "Thanks to Lin Yuan for helping to cover our retreat, otherwise many of us might not have come back." The others also showed expressions of agreement when they heard this. After all, the situation at that time was so critical. If Lin Yuan and the captain of the Anbu had not stepped forward, at least some of the people present would have lost their lives. That's why they were happy about the safe return of Lin Yuan and the captain of the Anbu.

The group dispersed after chatting for a while. After all, some of them had not fully recovered from their injuries, and Lin Yuan and the Anbu captain needed to rest. Although they didn't know the course of the battle after they left, it was clear that facing such a large Mist Hidden Army, Lin Yuan and the other two must have been very tired, so everyone wanted to let them have a good rest.

Just as Lin Yuan returned to his room, had just finished taking a shower and had just changed into new clothes, there was a sudden knock on the door, along with a clear voice.

"Please open the door, Lin Yuan."

Although the words were polite, the other party's tone was as casual as if he was talking to a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan did not hesitate and opened the door directly. The person who came was the intelligence officer that Lin Yuan and his team were tasked with rescuing. Generally speaking, ninjas engaged in intelligence work would not approach someone intentionally unless it was a mission.

To those who knew his identity, the other party's arrival was just to gather information, but Lin Yuan did not have such an idea.

He looked at the other person's face for a long time, trying to force him to retreat, but the other person still maintained that gentle smile, and Lin Yuan was the first to be defeated.

"What a trouble. You are so rude. Come in."

"Then I won't be polite."

As he spoke, the other person walked into Lin Yuan's room, and Lin Yuan closed the door.

The other person walked straight to a seat, picked up the teacup on the table, poured out a cup of tea and started to taste it, without any courtesy.

Lin Yuan also sighed helplessly, but did not stop the other party. Instead, he sat down directly. Seeing this, the other party poured a cup of tea for Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan took it, took a sip, and then spoke.

"You've had your tea, so it's time for you to tell us your purpose, Nono."

"You are so impatient, Lin Yuan. It was me who wanted to talk to you, but you were the one who brought it up. This won't do. If you do this, the initiative in the conversation will fall into the hands of the other party, hehe."

But surprisingly, the other person's voice changed, from a neutral, masculine voice to a gentle female voice.

Lin Yuan was not surprised at all because the other party was someone he knew.

——Yakushi Nono
The former captain of Konoha's medical corps, she possesses very advanced medical ninjutsu. She is also the director of an orphanage in Konoha, and has adopted many homeless orphans. She can be said to be a very kind and maternal woman.

Lin Yuan got to know each other because of Kojima Himezuki. After all, Kojima Himezuki's brother was a Konoha ninja and died fighting for the village. Konoha would certainly not ignore it, so they arranged a kindergarten to take care of Kojima Himezuki, and the director of that orphanage was Yakushi Nono.

Because Lin Yuan wanted to take care of Ji Yue himself, he got in touch with the pharmacist Nono. At that time, although Nono was not optimistic about Ji Yue being taken care of by Lin Yuan, because of Ji Yue's own wishes, Nono had to give up and let Lin Yuan take care of Ji Yue. But even so, he would visit Ji Yue every once in a while.

As time went by, Lin Yuanye and Nono had many contacts, and their relationship naturally deepened.
