Saving people at the hospital, although the experience points were relatively low... in reality, Yubi had also gained some training.
For a doctor, the ward is a battlefield.
Frequently using precisely controlled Medical Ninjutsu also helped increase the speed of his Chakra recovery... Over time, it would also increase his total Chakra capacity.
He would also become more proficient in using Ninjutsu.
This was something Yubi could feel.
For the latest novels, look for the most convenient site.
Although Sasori also knew quite a bit about Medical Ninjutsu, he wasn't a Medical Ninja after all, so his insights and experiences weren't as comprehensive.
It was normal for him to think he was just dabbling in the Village.
"While Sasori is away... I'll continue with my physical reinforcement."
Yubi made up his mind.
As he mastered more and more Medical Ninjutsu, especially after gaining an understanding and analysis of their capabilities, Yubi discovered he could start with 'Cell Activation' to give his body a more solid tempering.
His physical body would become stronger.
This idea was clearly hinted at in some of Tsunade's Ninjutsu.
They also had this tendency.
Especially her Ninjutsu 'Creation Rebirth'... it showed that some effects of Medical Ninjutsu could be used not only on patients but also to strengthen oneself.
But one needed to find the right method and have sufficient understanding and control over Ninjutsu and the human body.
Yubi prepared to use himself as a guinea pig to experiment.
Even if he couldn't reach Tsunade's level, even a small improvement would be a gain.
Thinking this, he stood up from the bed, planning to wash up and go to sleep.
"Hmm?"
But at that moment, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked toward the door.
A few seconds later, with two soft thuds, someone knocked on the door.
"Yubi?"
The person outside called out.
Yubi went forward and opened the door, seeing a Sunagakure Ninja standing outside, smiling at him.
"Who are you?"
"I'm from the Anbu... Lord Kazekage wants to see you."
The man smiled.
This late?
Yubi glanced at the sky; by now, almost all the lights in the Hidden Sand Village were out.
Although he wasn't as busy now, he usually didn't get home until after midnight.
"If there's something, he can summon me anytime... why choose this hour?" Yubi's heart stirred. Could it be... some emergency had occurred?
That was the only explanation.
"Wait for me."
Yubi nodded and immediately turned to put on his clothes.
He hung his Sunagakure forehead protector around his neck.
He looked ready to carry out a mission.
Wearing the forehead protector on his head felt very uncomfortable to Yubi... so after being promoted to Genin, he had always tied it loosely around his neck.
The position he tied it in was also very deliberate, covering the vital point of his throat to some extent.
Shortly after, he followed the Anbu member and left home.
"This way."
Yubi had intended to head toward the Kazekage's office building, but the Anbu leading the way pointed in another direction.
Clearly, the Kazekage was waiting for him elsewhere.
"So private?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Yubi's eyelid twitched.
Could it be... this secret meeting was just between him and the Kazekage?
That meant... things were likely not simple!
Yubi's expression turned serious.
Swoosh, swoosh... the two figures moved rapidly through the Village.
"Hmm?"
Along the way, Yubi noticed something unusual.
Although it was after midnight, the Village still had patrol Ninjas on duty for security.
During wartime, the Village's security and defenses were quite strict.
Even though Sunagakure still maintained a small amount of trade with the outside world, outsiders entering the Village had to undergo extremely thorough checks... Having stayed in the Village for a long time, Yubi was well-acquainted with the daily patrol routes of the Sunagakure guards, but the route this Anbu was taking him on was clearly intended to avoid others.
The latter also knew the patrol routes very well.
His timing was perfect, as if he didn't want anyone else to discover their movements.
"Because this is a mission personally ordered by Lord Kazekage... it must be kept secret. This matter... cannot be known by others." As if to avoid Yubi's suspicion, the Anbu man turned his head and spoke softly to him.
Yubi didn't say anything and gave a slight nod.
He had some doubts in his heart... but mostly, he was wondering what the Third Kazekage was planning.
Soon, the two arrived at the very edge of the Village.
There were no more houses around... as far as the eye could see, it was all vast sandy ground.
But after walking a bit further, a figure finally appeared in the distance.
Because the night was dark and the other person was standing quite far away, it wasn't clear at first... he could only vaguely see the person wearing the unique robes of the Land of Wind, looking like the Third Kazekage.
He was standing with his back to them.
"Lord Kazekage."
Just as Yubi was carefully observing the person, the Anbu in front of him stopped first and spoke.
Confirming the person's identity.
The Kazekage?
Just as Yubi was about to get a good look, his heart suddenly pounded.
The combat instinct he had honed while fighting at the border came into play at this moment.
The kneeling Anbu suddenly turned around without warning and lunged forward, a Kunai in hand, stabbing toward his chest.
This person's speed was extremely fast.
Even though Yubi had sensed something was wrong beforehand, he still couldn't dodge it in that split second.
But he avoided his vitals, and the Kunai struck him in the abdomen.
Yubi's expression instantly turned cold as he pulled back and retreated.
As he backed away, he looked up and saw that where the 'Kazekage' had been standing... there was only a long robe hanging in the air before slowly falling to the ground.
That person... was gone.
*Buzz...* a sound tore through the air.
A massive four-bladed shuriken spun toward his head.
In mid-air, Yubi forcibly twisted his waist and ducked... landing on the ground by a hair's breadth.
"This is... a fuma shuriken!"
A Ninja tool of the Fuma Clan.
Yubi glanced at the shuriken embedded in the sand, his expression changing slightly.
Clearly... he had been set up.
These two... were here to kill him.
Combined with the sense of discord he had felt earlier, Yubi instantly realized these two were not Sunagakure Ninjas!
Because he couldn't think of any reason why the Village would move against him.
Furthermore, a Ninja tool like the fuma shuriken was relatively expensive and considered special equipment... even if it didn't cost much to a Ninja, Sunagakure rarely used it.
For Sunagakure, the fuma shuriken was more suited for Puppeteers to use as mechanisms within their puppets.
Not used in this manner.
After landing, Yubi slowly raised his arm; the wound on his abdomen was healing at a visible rate.
In no time, it had returned to its original state.
"Hmm."
This scene caused the two attacking Ninjas to freeze in shock.
Especially the man who had attacked Yubi while claiming to be from the Anbu; his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He was certain he had wounded the kid... Although this guy's reaction speed was fast, the blood on the ground and on the Kunai in his hand couldn't lie.
A-rank Medical Ninjutsu: Yin Healing Destruction.
The moment he realized he was injured and took to the air, Yubi had already formed hand signs and performed the Ninjutsu.
The opponent's strike had been intended to kill him.
But his Big Data Taijutsu allowed him to predict the landing point of the enemy's attack... thus averting the crisis.
"Interesting... two rats that sneaked in."
Yubi's hands were already manipulating extremely thin threads. He curled his lips into a smile, but his dilated pupils made the two men instinctively feel a chill.
Under the moonlight, the youth stood on the sand like a dancer preparing to perform... his raised arms and curled fingertips moved elegantly, yet they exuded a chilling killing intent.
"It's really... a long-lost feeling."
Yubi smiled, showing no fear from nearly falling into a trap; instead, his tone carried a hint of joy.
This feeling, in a trance, seemed to take him back to the time he fought against the Amegakure.
Although he had been staying in the Village to treat patients during this time and had continuously gained and grown.
In truth... he had also been living a very dull and tedious life.
"Before we start killing each other... can you tell me your true identities?"
The youth asked.
"..."
The two men looked at each other, their expressions grave.
They had realized that the Village's intelligence on this Yubi was flawed.
Clearly... this kid was not as simple as just an ordinary Medical Ninja...
