In the moment of death when Danzo opened the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, far away in Hokage's office, Sarutobi suddenly felt a touch of mourning, and the paper he was working on was crossed with a black trace.
The last time this feeling of palpitations occurred was when the Nine-Tails attacked Konoha.
"Could it be that something bad is about to happen again? What an eventful year, sigh..."
Sarutobi sighed and, with the mindset that he would rather believe it than not, he immediately sent his men to gather information about the recent unusual happenings in the village, and also instructed that all the arrangements must be checked and that no mistakes must be made before the arrival of the Komugakure's envoy.
....
In the park bench, Aoba, Itachi and Gekko Hayate were enjoying the peace and quiet of the afternoon.
"What the hell have you been doing lately? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy and your face so pale, are you sick?" Gekko Hayate asked with curiosity while eating the tricolor pills bought by Itachi.
Aoba's spirit was not very good sighed and said, "Do not talk nonsense, my health is very... Wonderful (There was no typo, it was from a visit of a certain pig to know this terrain can be popular.) The most important thing was that the intensity of the training was a little too great, and the nutrition could not keep up."
Then Gekko Hayate started his speech and said, "You have to learn time management, usually you can also find us out for some sports, after all, the body is the capital."
"Thank you, I'm offended, but don't you think this kind of talk is very unconvincing coming from your mouth?"
Aoba rolled his dead fish eyes while lightning jerked three skewers of mochi, stuffed his mouth full, then chewed a few times and swallowed.
However, the fact was that he couldn't argue as he was in the worst physical condition among the three people, so what qualifications did he have to give advice to others in class?
Itachi did not say anything, because he already knew how hard Aoba really was. If Aoba felt that the intensity of the training was a bit too much, the average person might not even last half an hour!
With a sense of urgency in his heart, Itachi suddenly wanted to go back and double his daily training, otherwise he would really be left behind.
But when he thought that after so many days, they only came out for the second time to meet and bond and relax... He hesitated for a moment, but didn't make such a fuss about saying goodbye.
But the matter of improving the intensity of training was still on his mind...
After sweeping away all the tricolor mochi from Itachi's treat, Aoba's condition was obviously better.
"Where to next?"
"Back to training." Itachi said nervously.
Gekko Hayate's face instantly fell, not that he did not work hard, but how could it be that his two companions were simply training monsters ah!
If his body could also support him to carry out such a long period of intense training would be fine, but his hardware did not allow, and the software was not able to run!
So he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "I am going to buy some medicine, I have recently inquired about a prescription, try to see if it works."
Prescriptions... To be honest, there were too few of them that worked, most of them were fraudulent, or just blind cats bumping into dead rats.
But for this persistent disease of Gekko Hayate, Aoba and Itachi had no good way to persuade, and they could not do so, on the contrary, they would annoy people.
They hoped that this time the prescription would be effective for his illness.
After sighing in his heart, Aoba was ready to go back and continue his training, but buying medicine... Suddenly made his eyes light up!
"I'll go with you, it just so happens that I also have something to prepare for a trip to the pharmacy."
The two of them went together, and Itachi couldn't wait to get back to his training.
Soon, the two arrived at the Yoshida Clan's pharmacy.
The two of them were in the same place as the other two.
At the same time, the Yoshida Clan was also responsible for providing medicinal materials to Konoha, and was the largest supplier of medicinal materials to Konoha. Many people in the Yoshida Clan also have deep attainments in medicine, and could play the role of medical doctors at critical times.
However, the formula for the medicinal bath that Aoba gave to the 4th Hokage was actually supplied and offered by the village and the Yoshida Clan.
Therefore, it could be said that Yoshida Clan had the best quality of herbs in the whole Konoha.
Of course, the price must also be more expensive.
"Welcome, what medicine do you want to buy?"
As soon as they came in, a soft girl came over and asked gently. Behind her sat an old man with white hair, making people feel like a spring breeze while not losing trust.
It was really awesome!
Aoba couldn't help but look sideways, he used to buy medicine because he had no money, so he went to that kind of small store, although the quality of the medicine was more ordinary, but also relatively cheaper.
That said, it was the first time he came to the Yoshida Clan's pharmacy.
"Please help me grab ten pairs according to this prescription first." Gekko Hayate familiarly handed over the prescription in his hand.
The soft girl immediately showed a sweet smile, and then began to grab the medicine for him.
The old man seemed to be a bit bored, so he picked up Gekko Hayate's prescription and took a look at it, then frowned a little.
But he didn't say anything, and sat back down.
There were a few medicines in the recipe that were obviously additive, but they were harmless and did not kill anyone, so he naturally would not take the initiative to offend people.
And this prescription was at most to clear the lungs to stop the cough, he would not talk more.
However, Aoba, who was thinking about how to open his mouth, noticed this, and after giving a wink to Gekko Hayate, he politely and courteously went forward to ask a question.
"Hello, uncle, is there something wrong with this recipe?"
The old man gave him an unexpected look, but just shook his head and didn't say anything.
"It's like this, this companion of mine is suffering from a persistent disease, and has thought of many ways to cure it, so now it has been somewhat chaotic, like this is the partial prescription he found, and I don't know if it is saving or harming people, if you old man can see anything, can you please point out a few things?"
This old man might be the elder of the Yoshida Clan, so it would be good to be polite and courteous.
What was more, he was still asking for help.
After hearing him say so, the old man raised his eyes and said, "This prescription is to clear the lungs and stop coughing, there are a few more other medicine, and the effect is very poor. To cure this kind of disease is like a joke."
"In addition this companion of yours I also know, his disease I can not cure, so no need to waste time on this old man."
