A week had passed, and it seemed those three devils had forgotten about him since their first visit.
He couldn't say if he was happy or sad, but it was quite nice.
Day by day…
With a slight twitch of his ear, Hatake quickly put away his magazine.
"Time for your medicine, Hatake-san." The charming little Nurse smiled like a flower, leaning over with the medicine to check on Hatake's condition.
"Still no strength?"
He did, but someone didn't allow him to have it, so he only had a little.
Hatake scratched his head and said, "I think I need to stay in bed for a few more days."
The Hospital was quite good, Hatake looked at the charming little Nurse.
With a slight blush, the little Nurse shyly asked, "Hatake-san, are you free after you're discharged?"
Yes, he had plenty of free time.
Hatake scratched his head…
But!
Shinobi don't need women!
Women only slow him down!
Hatake truly believed this; it wasn't the right time yet, everyone needed his strength.
At least, he would only consider such matters after the war ended.
"Forget it if you can't! Pretend I didn't say anything!" The little Nurse feigned anger, blushing shyly.
Hatake scratched his head and said, "Well, I am free, but I'm afraid you'll become a widow."
"???" The Nurse looked at Hatake in confusion; the first part of his sentence was normal, but the latter part was a bit incomprehensible.
"I am a Shinobi," Hatake said with a strange depth, "I am ready to die at any moment."
Instead of looking for a girlfriend, if he were to look, he would look for a wife he could marry.
Hatake hoped the other person was a Shinobi, so she would understand his missions and responsibilities.
It wasn't like the Anbu seniors who complained about how nagging their wives were, how they had nothing to say, couldn't understand or communicate, and other such issues.
"You're quite interesting, Hatake-san." Referring to how a bit naive this guy was, the little Nurse looked thoughtful. Although he was cute, he was far too serious.
It was just for fun…
"Time for your medicine." With that, the little Nurse got busy.
Watching the graceful figure of the little Nurse, Hatake mused.
Hmm, eight points!
Just then, the ward door opened and Miki walked in, startling the little Nurse. Immediately, she visibly shrank, her petite figure appearing even smaller.
Miki looked at this person and said, "Let me handle it."
"Yes." After a soft, submissive reply, the little Nurse quickly exited the ward.
Miki came to the bedside, looked at Hatake's handsome face, and asked, "Can you move now?"
Hatake scratched his head and said, "It probably isn't for anything good."
"Can you move now?" Miki didn't answer, repeating her question.
"Yes, just a little." Hatake said, "Fighting is still out of the question."
It was the truth.
The after-effects of the Eight Gates were already severe, and it was normal to be bedridden for a week the first time, let alone with Hatake's intense usage.
It was truly over-stimulation.
Miki said, "Don't be lazy, Hatake-senpai." Without touching the medicine on the bedside table, Miki extended her hand.
This…
Again?
Hatake looked at Miki's expressionless mask and consciously opened his mouth.
"I didn't tell you to open your mouth." Miki said, as a swarm of Insects flew out, then crawled all over Hatake's body, leaving only his head uncovered.
Clapping her hands together.
Insect Secret Technique: Life Transfer Jutsu.
Life force began to pour into Hatake's body, making him feel warm all over, as comfortable as taking a bath.
To avoid making an embarrassing sound, Hatake clamped his mouth shut.
Watching Miki perform the Jutsu, he felt this scene was strangely familiar.
After a while, the treatment ended, and the Insects covering his body were completely dead.
"Do I have to go deliver them again?" Hatake felt his body filled with strength, propped himself up, and asked.
"How could that be." Miki said, "There's a mission."
"Huh?" I didn't receive any notification, Hatake looked at Miki in confusion.
"Prepare for battle. This mission must not fail; it must be foolproof." Miki said.
Hatake's expression became serious, and he said, "Understood!"
Then, the conversation took a turn.
"If you have such a useful Jutsu, why didn't you use it earlier?"
"Too weak to take tonics." Miki replied dismissively.
