Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 84: The Rebellious Pharmacist Kabuto (First Update)
Xiaonan felt a little uneasy.

Because it doesn't seem really safe.

Because of her distrust of Zetsu, Konan was a little worried that the other party would want to set an ambush and harm Nagato. This kind of thing has happened in the past.

If it weren't for the joint ambush by Danzo Shimura of Konoha and Hanzo Salamander of the Hidden Rain Village, Yahiko wouldn't have died and Nagato wouldn't have had his legs disabled.

"Don't worry."

Black Zetsu's voice is always gloomy and hoarse, which makes people feel a strong sense of distrust. However, it is still trying to convince Konan and Nagato: "The person you are about to meet is the most trustworthy person in the world."

"Except Yahiko and Nagato."

Konan stared at Black Zetsu with a cold expression, her eyes were smeared with light purple eyeshadow, which made her look a little inhuman, but it complemented her hair color.

"There is no one in this world that I can absolutely trust."

“What a narrow-minded perspective…”

Black Zetsu couldn't help but smile, as if mocking Konan's narrow-mindedness: "When you really meet him, you will understand how arrogant your words were."

"Is it a long way to go?"

Nagato frowned as he looked at his wheelchair.

Because of his disabled legs and the Yin-Yang Black Rod inserted in his back, his wheelchair is more troublesome than a normal one. It also makes it difficult for his body to support long journeys. Every long journey is a torture for him.

"He's in the Land of Rivers."

After Bai Zetsu mentioned a place name, he couldn't help but explain: "Although given your physical condition, it would be more appropriate for him to come and see you; but given his status and reputation, I still suggest that you should visit him in person."

"A powerful medical ninja, and a very prestigious person."

Nagato stared at them, thinking about the words in their conversation, his eyes widened involuntarily, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something.

all the time.

The mysterious masked man claims to be Uchiha Madara.

Black Zetsu claims to be the remaining will of Emiya Shihara.

It just so happened that the last time Uchiha Madara appeared was when he helped Emiya Shihara, who was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation in ancient times, to quell the First Ninja World War.

"That's the one."

Black Zetsu took great satisfaction in seeing the shock on Nagato's face.

"I remember…"

Nagato's forehead suddenly began to sweat, and he remembered the old legend: "That adult... should have disappeared many years ago... You also told me... that he returned to the underworld after the First Ninja World War..."

"Are you deceiving us?"

Xiaonan immediately raised her palms, and pieces of white paper fell from her palms, as if they would attack Jue at any time!

"I have to thank Orochimaru for that."

Bai Zetsu quickly spread out his hands and explained seriously: "Orochimaru is a spy sent by Konoha to the Akatsuki organization. In order to defeat Tendo Pain and destroy the Akatsuki organization, he used the forbidden technique of Konoha to bring that adult back to the human world."

"Orochimaru is a spy for Konoha?"

Konan was not surprised by this, and even turned around and signaled to Nagato: "We shouldn't have let Orochimaru join the Akatsuki organization in the first place..."

"But Orochimaru is a dangerous man."

Nagato did not speak, but it was Tendo Pain who spoke at this moment: "I was not sure I could kill him at that time, so I thought of keeping Orochimaru by my side to monitor him. I didn't expect that this dangerous person was actually a spy sent by Konoha?"

"They should be sent by Danzo, right?"

Bai Zetsu stroked his chin and stated his previous speculation.

"!!!"

Konan, Nagato and Tendo Pain all looked over at the same time, and an extremely dangerous look flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"Go see him first."

Black Zetsu wants them to meet Emiya Shihara first.

Compared to Emiya Shihara…

Everyone in this world seems insignificant.

certainly…

Emiya Shihara certainly wouldn't think so.

Shihara Emiya never thought that other people were insignificant. He always believed that everyone in this world had a very high value, even Kabuto Yakushi who was sent by Orochimaru to secretly monitor him.

These days...

Yakushi Kabuto thinks that his life is somewhat happy.

Because he can always learn a lot of knowledge from Emiya Shihara, and can also hear a lot of philosophy from Emiya Shihara's mouth.

In particular, Kabuto Yakushi can still chat with Shihara Emiya about some things about the dean, Nono Yakushi, whom he has begun to care about again, so sometimes he can't help but want to seek answers to life from Shihara Emiya, this wise man of ancient times.

In this world...

There is definitely no one more suitable than Emiya Shihara.

Anyone who chats with Shihara Emiya seems to be able to get guidance from his words, and even just chatting with him is a soothing thing.

"When the dean died..."

"I don't know who I am..."

“I don’t know what the meaning of my life is…”

"I don't seem to have anything I particularly like, nor do I particularly dislike anything, and I don't know why I live in this world..."

Kabuto Yakushi recalled his confusion during that time, and also recalled Orochimaru's teachings to him: "Orochimaru told me to collect all the information in the world, and to know all the knowledge in this world, and then I can find the final answer from it."

"What about before that?"

While fiddling with the experimental equipment in his hand, Shihara Emiya guided Kabuto's thinking: "I remember that Danzo used the funds of your orphanage to force you to become a spy when you were still a child. Do you like that kind of life?"

"Very disgusting."

Yakushi Kabuto frowned subconsciously, recalling his feelings during that time: "Sometimes I was afraid that I would be killed after being discovered, but in order for the orphanage to get funding to survive, I had to do it."

"..."

Emiya Shihara paused for a moment before he resumed the experiment. He said something that seemed to come out of his mouth carelessly: "When a person knows why he lives, he will find that he can endure any kind of life."

"!!!"

Pharmacist Kabuto held his test tube tightly.

"You're an excellent medical ninja."

"Even in learning medical ninjutsu, even Tsunade may not be as good as you in some aspects. I thought you were studying the ninjutsu of medical ninja..."

"Now it looks like..."

Emiya Shihara sighed, and his words completely penetrated Kabuto Yakushi's heart: "Be a medical ninja, a spy, or a ninja, but none of these are what you really want. The orphanage's continued existence is the destination you have always wanted." "!!!"

Yakushi Kabuto's arms drooped down involuntarily.

real…

It seems like that...

In order to allow the director and the orphanage to survive, he can endure all the bad life, even if it means living a life worse than death.

At the beginning, he became a medical ninja under the guidance of the dean. He could follow the dean to participate in battlefield rescue and help solve some of the orphanage's expenses.

The reason why I took the initiative to become a spy was so that the orphanage could get more funding and continue to exist forever.

Yes…

Those are the real meaning of why I want to survive.

Yakushi Kabuto thought about his past life, and two lines of tears slowly flowed from under his glasses, making him think again of the first time he got this pair of glasses.

The gentle dean who treated him as his own son found out that his eyesight could not see all this, so he gave him this pair of glasses. It was also the first time that he truly felt the love and attention that he had received. These were the meaning of his survival...

to this end…

He is willing to endure everything.

"Give me the test tube."

As if he hadn't said anything, Shihara Emiya continued to concentrate on his experiments, and asked casually, "Has the orphanage always been short of funds? When I was here, there seemed to be no orphanage in Konoha, but an old friend named Kakuzu was working hard to make money to support some orphanages..."

"Kakuzu-sama?"

When Pharmacist Dou thought of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and mentioned something. When he thought of this incident, he even felt a little aggrieved and resentful.

"In fact, the dean once met Lord Kakuzu and received donations from Lord Kakuzu who hated Konoha for a period of time. Later, Danzo forced the dean to refuse to accept Lord Kakuzu's donations, on the grounds that the dean was forbidden to collude with the rebel ninja outside..."

"but…"

Kabuto Yakushi's palms clenched again. He remembered some things he had secretly inquired about after becoming a spy: "Danzo banned the director from accepting donations from outside the village, and in his capacity as the Hokage's assistant, he reduced the funds allocated by the village to the orphanage..."

this moment…

Yakushi Kabuto could no longer hide his annoyance!

If it is understandable that Danzo refused their contact with Kakuzu, he also cut the orphanage's funding in order to force Director Yakushi Nono and the children of the orphanage to become spies in his hands, and to force them into a dead end!
“What a terrible time…”

Emiya Shihara's voice became a little dull, and he suddenly asked, "Was Orochimaru also sent by Danzo to carry out the mission of destroying the Akatsuki organization?"

"..."

Yakushi Kabuto didn't know how to start.

Yakushi Kabuto no longer wanted to deceive Emiya Shihara in front of him.

Whether it was Emiya Shihara saving Yakushi Nono's soul in the underworld or Emiya Shihara resolving his emotional knot, it made Yakushi Kabuto realize the greatness of this man.

Kabuto Yakushi felt a little ashamed that he had been monitoring and even helping Orochimaru to deceive Emiya Shihara, and he even felt too embarrassed to face him.

but…

Pharmacist Kabuto didn't know what to do.

If I tell the truth, I will inevitably betray Orochimaru's trust.

"I do not know."

Yakushi Kabuto lowered his head and thought for a while, but decided to give up: "I am just a subordinate of Lord Orochimaru, and I don't know the specific situation, but Lord Orochimaru sent me information. In a few days, Lord Orochimaru should be able to find an opportunity to come to this base under the surveillance of the Akatsuki organization. Lord Emiya should be able to know the answer from Lord Orochimaru..."

"In a few days?"

Emiya Shihara couldn't help but show some regret on his face.

If Orochimaru had the chance after a few days, then the two of them would most likely not have met in this bunker.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Emiya Shihara seemed a little disappointed, Kabuto Yakushi quickly wiped his tears and asked seriously and nervously: "If Lord Emiya needs anything, I will go to see Lord Orochimaru immediately."

"It's ok."

Emiya Shihara waved his hand and spoke as if intentionally or unintentionally: "I just want to see how much darkness is still hidden in this era forty years later, and I also want to see if I can still change this dark era."

"Yes."

Pharmacist Kabuto nodded with mixed feelings.

Knew it…

Lord Orochimaru has always wanted to keep Emiya Shihara in this base, but this base is obviously not large enough to hold a great man like Emiya Shihara.

but…

Does this adult want to change this era?
Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He could feel Emiya Shihara's dissatisfaction with this era, because he himself was not satisfied with this dark world!

but…

How can we change this era?
Kabuto Yakushi has always been considered smart enough by Orochimaru, but he can't think of a way to change this era. He has even always been able to recognize his own weakness and does not think that he is capable of changing this era.

To be frank...

I am not even qualified to think about such things.

but…

If it's Lord Emiya Shihara, he will definitely be able to do it, right?
"I'm going to see Lord Orochimaru."

Yakushi Kabuto bowed respectfully to Emiya Shihara. He wanted to report Emiya Shihara's thoughts to Orochimaru, and also wanted to think about his own future.

if you can…

Yakushi Kabuto hopes to see the day when this era changes.

At that time, perhaps he should be able to return to the director's orphanage and learn to take care of those homeless children every day like the gentle director?

"..."

Shihara Emiya fiddled with the experimental equipment calmly, as if he didn't notice at all that the person who had been monitoring him had left.

perhaps…

In fact, that person was no longer the one monitoring him.

After a long time.

Emiya Shihara looked at the Hashirama cells cultivated in the experimental instrument, and turned off the experimental instrument with a calm and indifferent expression, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was saying something to the person leaving: "It's better to leave, after all, my guests will be here soon..."

"When we meet next time..."

"I'd like to invite you to join me in changing the world."
