Hokage went into deep thought. He didn't know how this kid got so much knowledge in medical field but he wouldn't dive into as long as it was serving Konoha. In addition, he was honest and even wanted dead bodies to conduct his own experiments. He had seen the same ambitions once in his own apprentice which he had lost to the dark side.
Orochimaru.
And now he didn't want this young kid to get to the dark side. Hiruzen had made his mind that he would always keep an eye at him so that he didn't suffer the same fate as Orochimaru. And there was another thing he noticed. This kid was extremely business minded. Such kind of people were very easy to satisfy as only money could make him happy.
Since he wanted at least 100 sales on books, this could be done very easily. And he even wanted to open a medical school. His apprentice Tsunade had once proposed it but it never came to fruition. Wars, her losses and at the end apathy towards her own village made many things unfinished. If this kid could at least start a medical school, than he might try to convince his apprentice to come back and show that Konoha had turned into a new leaf.
"Fine. if you can really make great progress in the medical field, I will open a school and that too in your name." Hiruzen said.
"What?" This time it was Aoto who was flabbergasted. He spoke of the medical school just to convince the old man, how did this become serious. Is the old man senile? But thinking about it, opening a medical school wasn't a bad idea as long as he got book of medicine and related things in the future.
Aoto after some deep thought put up a happy face and nodded.
"I don't want a school in my name. You can put Princess Tsunade's name since she was responsible for such great medical achievements for Konoha." Hiruzen smiled at him and thanked his stars for making him proud even though he disappointed her a lot.
Hiruzen gave the stack of papers back to him and promised again to send bodies by night. Aoto thanked him and went back to his shop.
"System, I can keep the bodies in the system space. Right? I don't want diseases spreading in my place."
[
Worry not host, the system space is huge enough to fit even a planet, let alone some bodies.
]
Aoto's eyebrows raised when the system informed that. Having a space of that capacity meant that the system's functions must be off the charts. The day went on as normal and everybody went on with their work. The new shop was getting renovated and it soon will be opened.
It was late at night when Aoto had already closed the shop that someone showed up at the door with a another guy behind pulling a trolley on the road.
"Kakashi, there I did it. Now you need to come with me and have a fight and see who is the best, once and for all." The man who was pushing the trolley said. It was Kakashi who had come to deliver the bodies, but he wasn't alone.
The man who had come with him was somebody who even Madara acknowledged. Might Guy. Seeing Guy pushing a trolley of three dead bodies, he was pretty sure that Kakashi might have cheated this guy again while making Guy do his job instead.
Though Kakashi was still in a little sad mood since he had lost the last remaining people who were very close to him, the other people like Guy, Asuma, Kurenai had helped him recover a lot. And thus when Hiruzen had sent him a work to bring three dead bodies for Aoto, he found Guy and made him come in this below F level mission.
It was not supposed to be the work of Jonin like him, but Kakashi was free at the time and Aoto knew of him from before. And thus he just sent Kakashi for getting bodies from outside the village after killing some bandits.
"Guy.. It's already late at night.. Don't tell me you want to compete with in complete darkness. You will lose." Kakashi replied.
"Eh.. A strong guy like me could always see in darkness." Guy said. Kakashi didn't any attention to him and looked at Aoto.
"We meet again.."
"Kakashi-san, I didn't expect that the Hokage would send you for this trivial work." Aoto was really surprised. This Hokage was treating him too good. Like he was some kind of precious gem.
"Hahahah.. Aoto, what are you going to do with it?" Kakashi was curious when Hokage asked him to get bodies for Aoto. This was not conventional at all. Aoto gave a smirk and didn't reveal at all. Since the Hokage had kept his mouth shut, he should be respectful to it.
Guy meanwhile looked at Aoto up and down to see what was up with this kid for asking dead bodies. His pea sized brain wasn't able to make up any scenarios and thus was more curious than Kakashi but didn't say a word to Aoto since he didn't know him personally.
He as more interested in battling Kakashi than the bodies. After delivering Kakashi went on his way while Guy followed him shouting for a battle to which Kakashi ignored. Aoto just shook his head. He would love to interact with Guy but there was nothing that could be used to scam this guy.
Maybe the health potion would work after he used his Eight Inner Gates but as of now he couldn't sell the health potion, that thing will cause a furor in Konoha. Forget about Konoha, even the other villages will come after him.
He didn't need that kind of public ire at the moment. Aoto returned to his home after dragging the bodies inside and keeping it inside the system space.
