Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 418 Sakura's Choice

After seeing the result, Sakura remained stunned in her seat for a long time, and it took her almost ten minutes to slowly come back to her senses.

"What should we do?"

Sakura clutched her head in distress. Her first thought after learning about this was to abort the child, but abortion required surgery, and at least other medical ninjas would need to help her.

While shadow clones can also perform abortions, the intense pain experienced by the original body might affect the shadow clones. Although Sakura might be able to endure it, she wouldn't dare gamble, because Tsunade taught her that there is no possibility of any mistake on the operating table.

As for medicine, there is no medicine in the ninja world that can help with miscarriage. The ninja world has no demand for it, so naturally they will not research such medicine. Even if Sakura learns a lot about medicine preparation from Tsunade, she will not be able to research it in a short period of time.

"What should we do?"

Sakura lay helplessly on the table, her mind filled with thoughts of Shizune and Tsunade. But if she asked them for help, the news of her pregnancy would definitely be exposed.

Sakura couldn't even imagine what would happen if this news reached Sasuke's ears.

Sakura was in a state of confusion, her mind completely in turmoil, unsure of what to do. However, after sitting in her office for a while, she suddenly thought of Uchiha Yoichi, realizing it was all that bastard's fault.

Thinking of this, Sakura felt a surge of anger. Although she knew that she had made a big mistake by going into the wrong house, she was just an angry woman right now!

Having decided to confront Uchiha Yoichi about this matter, Sakura immediately got up and walked outside.

"Sakura? Where are you going?"

Shizune, who had just arrived, saw Sakura about to leave and asked her a question.

"Sorry, I have to go out for a bit. I'll take care of it when I get back."

Sakura forced a smile, then quickly walked outside. Her hurried departure puzzled Shizune, who asked, "What's wrong?"

Leaving Konoha Hospital, Sakura headed straight for Yangyi Pharmacy without much hesitation. She arrived there quickly and went straight inside.

Ding Dong!

The wind chimes rang, and Sakura knew it was a guest's voice, so she waited on the first floor.

Soon, Uchiha Yoichi came down from upstairs. Upon hearing the voice, he knew that Sakura had arrived. He had been in the Kamui dimension just moments before, where only his shadow clones were present. However, after Sakura arrived, Uchiha Yoichi came out of the Kamui dimension.

Upon arriving on the first floor, Uchiha Yoichi feigned surprise and asked, "Sakura, what brings you here? Are you here to buy some secret medicine?"

"Why buy some kind of secret medicine!"

Sakura said angrily, then realized that if they made a fuss here, passersby outside might hear them. So she stormed forward, grabbed Uchiha Yoichi's clothes, and headed upstairs: "Let's go upstairs, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?"

Although he could break free at any time, Uchiha Yoichi still followed Sakura to the second floor. However, with his mental energy spreading, Uchiha Yoichi quickly learned why Sakura had come to find him.

The life force in her lower abdomen clearly indicated pregnancy, and judging by the timing, it was exactly the time he and Sakura spent at the hot spring inn in the Land of Hot Springs.

Upon reaching the second floor, Uchiha Yoichi feigned confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Sakura? Is there something you want to say?"

"Of course!"

Sakura spoke through gritted teeth, each word distinct. The air was filled with the rich aroma of medicinal pills, but Sakura was more concerned about her pregnancy. If this matter wasn't handled properly, her family would be ruined.

"I am pregnant!"

"Are you pregnant?"

Uchiha Yoichi's performance was spot-on; his face immediately showed a look of confusion and bewilderment, then he pointed to himself and asked, "Mine?"

Sakura, suppressing her anger, said, "It was that one time."

"Last time, it was certainly possible that it was mine, but to be sure, I still want to ask; Sakura, after returning from the Land of Hot Springs, did you and your husband do anything?"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Sakura understood what Uchiha Yoichi wanted to ask. Being asked such a private question by someone else made Sakura blush, but she still answered, "No, Sasuke-kun has been busy with other things lately."

"Not even once in over a month? Ino and I wish we could be together every day."

"Shut up! Who can compare to you!"

Sakura couldn't help but say, feeling both embarrassed and angry, that after returning from the Land of Hot Springs, she suspected that Uchiha Yoichi might particularly enjoy this kind of thing. Last time, he had done it with Ino for so long in the hot spring, but late at night, he did it with her again, and for even longer!

It's illogical. Sakura herself is a medical ninja and has a considerable understanding of human anatomy, so she naturally knows something about this kind of thing. However, every time she thinks about it, Sakura still feels unbearably embarrassed, after all, she has to recall that night in the Land of Hot Springs.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. Sakura suppressed her embarrassment and anger and asked Uchiha Yang, "This child cannot be born. Do you have any way to abort it?"

Uchiha Yoichi feigned shock, then quickly shook his head and said, "Me? I'm not a medical ninja, I'm not good at this. Sakura, you should be better than me at surgery."

"No, I'll have to find someone else for the surgery. It'll be impossible to hide it from them, and without a good reason, who would perform this kind of surgery on me?"

Sakura shook her head and said that there are few people in the ninja world, and ninjas value their offspring even more. She is now Uchiha Sakura. If she aborts the child, even Uzumaki Naruto would probably ask her about it out of curiosity.

"You often research quack remedies, don't you have one that can abort the child? Or is there any way, any way, as long as it solves this problem?"

Sakura is now so flustered that she's almost incoherent; all she wants is to resolve this matter.

"How could I possibly have such a secret medicine? To research a secret medicine, there must first be a demand. I've traveled the ninja world alone before and never encountered anything like this. Besides, don't panic, there might be a solution to this."

Uchiha Yoichi's words seemed to have a magical power, calming Sakura down gradually. Only after the panic on Sakura's face slowly disappeared did he continue.

"What happened last time was an accident, but we all want to resolve this matter, so I will propose a few methods. First, I have a secret medicine here. You can take it back and feed it to your husband. After he takes it, he will slowly fall into a deep sleep and will not have any memory of it the next day. At that time, you should say that you have already done it last night."

Sakura's face immediately flushed with embarrassment and anger upon hearing this: "Why would I do such a thing? You're asking me to deceive Sasuke."

"Calm down, Sakura. This is a last resort. If we can't find a way to save the baby, this is the only option. Or can you find a doctor to perform the surgery?"

Uchiha Yoichi reassured her, saying that although Sakura could disguise herself and go to another town to have the surgery, it definitely wouldn't be successful because he was there.

"I'll also do some research. If I can find a solution, I'll let you know. This is to protect your family, Sakura, do you understand?"

"But."

Sakura was extremely reluctant to deceive Sasuke, but if she didn't, her family might be destroyed. Now she could only choose one: to be honest with Sasuke or to protect her family.

Sakura thought of Sarada, Ino, and the others, and felt very sad. After struggling with the decision for a long time, she finally made a choice: "I understand."

The truth would cause a very bad situation and affect many people. Sakura couldn't accept that situation, so she had no choice but to deceive Sasuke.

Sorry, my updates have been too scattered these past few days, and I've fallen behind on a lot. I'll finish up soon and make up for it later.

P.S.: I guarantee my word, I will definitely pay it back!
