Konoha: Prepare to defect, the system is coming.

Chapter 669: The Final Silence (Part ) [Long Chapter]

Konoha Medical Department.

When the villagers entered here, they could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the medical department suddenly became much more tense, and the number of medical ninjas had visibly decreased.

The task that originally required two people to complete together can now only be undertaken by one person alone.

Even the deputy director, who usually sat in his office to relax, moved a table and sat at the door of the medical department to personally examine the villagers in order to share the pressure of other medical ninjas.

“You are anxious inside, you should exercise more.

The corn I planted in my field is ripe now. You can go and harvest it. It will be fine after you harvest it! Oh, by the way, remember to bring your own dry food. I don’t provide food or water.”

The deputy minister picked up a pen and paper, wrote down the address of his two acres of land, handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him, and then shouted to the long dragon behind him.

"Next person!!"

Just as he finished speaking, a young man with long black hair and a cigarette in his mouth came over and said in a deliberately rough voice, "I have been suffering from insomnia at night recently and can't sleep well."

The deputy minister raised his head upon hearing this, looked him up and down, and then asked thoughtfully, "Young man, are you still having trouble breathing, feeling dizzy, or feeling nauseous?"

The young man gave the deputy minister a thumbs up. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the deputy minister's medical skills were so high that he could see all the symptoms of this body with just a few glances.

Afterwards, the young man was seen sitting carelessly on the chair, looking around at the long queues, and finally turned his gaze to the front and asked in a low voice.

"Deputy Minister, is my illness serious? Is it a terminal illness?"

"Nothing serious!"

The deputy minister shook his head slightly, then leaned back in his chair and instructed the medical ninja standing beside him, "Go find the Sandaime Hokage now and tell him that his son Sarutobi Asuma smokes four packs a day and his head is dizzy."

Asuma's eyes widened in shock, and the lit cigarette fell to the ground from the corner of his mouth, splashing a series of tiny sparks.

next second.

Suddenly, an angry voice was heard in the noisy hall.

"The atmosphere in the village is so tense now, and the store business has plummeted. I just want to help them at this time. As long as I help the store owner, he will have money to buy food, and then the merchants selling food will have money to buy meat, and the merchants selling meat will have money to buy vegetables.
Wouldn’t this revitalize the business environment?”

After saying that, Asma picked up the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground, turned around and walked away, waving his hand behind him, leaving a few words, "A quack who can only treat illnesses but doesn't understand the importance of the business environment!"

Deputy Minister: “.”

The old man sat on the chair until Asuma disappeared, then he slowly raised his head and instructed another medical ninja, "I was wrong just now, Sarutobi Asuma not only smokes, but also eight packs a day.

By the way, tell the Sandaime-sama that his son still reads adult magazines without restraint and has kidney deficiency. "

The medical ninja standing nearby nodded in agreement, and with a flash of his body, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"This old man has a damn vengeful heart!" The deputy minister looked up at the ceiling, blamed himself for a moment, and continued to shout to the team, "Next one!!"

As he spoke, he looked at the long queue and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the deputy minister of the Medical Department, he is very sensitive to "war".

Since the day before yesterday, the village has gradually mobilized most of its medical ninjas. At the same time, nearly half of the reserves in the warehouse storing medicines have been called up in the past two days, resulting in the remaining medicines being able to barely support the village's daily medical needs.

"The war is really about to begin!!" The deputy minister smiled bitterly, and then he looked at the other medical ninjas who were busy receiving patients.

There are many patients and few medical ninjas now. Including the deputy minister, there are only five medical ninjas standing in the center of the hall.

Some of them had been working for more than ten hours in a row, and their eyes were already bloodshot, but when they saw the long queue in front of them, they forced themselves to cheer up and shouted to the team.

"Next!"

"Yugao Chunin!"

Hearing this familiar and gentle voice, Xiyan couldn't help but look over.

I saw Uchiha Mikoto standing in front of me wearing a light-colored skirt. Although she had a faint smile on her face, her brows inadvertently revealed a bit of uneasiness and worry.

"Mikoto-sama!" Xi Yan perked up, then pointed at the chair in front of her and asked curiously, "Are you still here because of what happened before?"

During the time when the teacher and the Hokage left the village to attend the Five Kage Summit, Uchiha Mikoto came to the medical department several times to consult her on psychological matters.

It's just that the questions the other party asked were very strange, which left a deep impression on her.

[The wife of the former head of the Uchiha clan, has been dreaming about other men recently.]

Xiyan, who is familiar with books on psychology, knows that big news is coming again.

Usually, dreaming about the opposite sex happens between couples in love, or those who are deeply in love, or those who have some "evil" thoughts.

The appearance of other male figures in Uchiha Mikoto's dreams may very well mean that the man has occupied a place in her heart.

Whether it is out of love or hatred, it is enough to prove the importance of the other person in her heart.

"I haven't heard of any entanglement between Uchiha Mikoto and other men recently."

Xiyan secretly observed the other party for a while, muttering in her heart, "She did have a big conflict with the teacher, but the conflict between the two has lasted for nearly two years. Logically speaking, the teacher is the least suspicious."

Seeing the purple-haired beauty in front of her suddenly lose focus, Mikoto gently waved her hand in front of her eyes and called out softly.

"Yugao Chunin!!"

Xi Yan suddenly came back to her senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lady Mikoto. I was just thinking about what you mentioned last time. Can you still dream about each other at night now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mikoto's smile froze instantly, and a blush quickly climbed up her cheeks and down her neck.

She subconsciously looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she leaned forward and answered in a low voice, "Occasionally. I used to dream about it every night, but now the frequency is a little lower."

Xiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally, relying on her status as a doctor, she asked the question in her heart, "Mikoto-sama, do you really not have a good impression of the "man" in your dream? If so, please tell me, it will be more conducive to treatment."

Uchiha Mikoto was slightly stunned when she heard this. She suddenly remembered the scene when her heartbeat suddenly accelerated at Asuka's house not long ago. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if to build up confidence for herself, and said in a firm tone.

"No, even if I dream about that person, I just want to defeat him in the dream, and I don't have the slightest thought of liking him."

Although she said so, Xiyan still looked at the other person with a somewhat strange look in her eyes.

"You can't defeat that man in reality, so you defeat him in your dream?" The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and she shook her head subconsciously. "A typical method of spiritual victory and the desire to achieve self-affirmation."

However, when Yugao secretly observed Uchiha Mikoto and noticed the remaining redness on the other's cheeks, the gossipy heart that had just been suppressed surged up again.

"It's obvious that he has a crush on someone!!" After muttering to herself, she saw that Mikoto didn't seem willing to mention it, and Xiyan knew what to do and didn't ask any more questions. She just straightened her body and asked in confusion.

"Mikoto-sama, from my observation just now, I found that you don't seem to be sick. What is the purpose of your visit to the medical department?"

"I'm here to receive psychological counseling!" Mikoto whispered the purpose of her trip.

Ever since she guessed that war was coming, she had trouble sleeping, and her dreams were all about Itachi dying on the battlefield, which was why she seldom dreamed of Uchiha Asuka recently.

After leaving Asuka's house, her mood hit rock bottom.

Considering that the entire ninja world is facing a catastrophe, whether Itachi can participate in the Fourth Ninja World War in the future seems to be less important. After all, Asuka said that this battle is a "one-wave flow".
It was not until then that Xi Yan noticed that beneath Mikoto's exquisite makeup, there was an unconcealable haggardness.

She quickly stood up and called a medical ninja to take over, then led Mikoto into a quiet office, poured her a glass of warm water, and asked softly.

"Mikoto-sama, what happened to you?"

These gentle words seemed to have magical power, gently soothing some of the fatigue in Mikoto's heart.

She raised her head slightly and looked at the girl in front of her, and the memories of two years ago came flooding back.

At that time, she was just a rookie and had to call Uchiha Asuka to come and clean up her mess from time to time. Now, after a period of time, she has become an excellent medical ninja and her reputation has spread beyond the village.

"It's so lucky for a ninja to grow up in a peaceful era!" Mikoto secretly sighed in her heart, and then said softly, "I just feel that my life has suddenly lost its direction, and I don't know what to do."

After learning the enemy's intelligence from Asuka, she was filled with pessimism.

It's not that she has no hope, she just thinks the chances of the five major ninja villages winning are slim.

If the coalition of the five major ninja villages is unfortunately defeated and the ninja world is destroyed, Itachi and Sasuke will not be able to escape the disaster.

at this time.

Xiyan didn't think about it at all. Thinking of the topic that Mikoto asked about last time, "I often dream about a certain man", her thoughts instantly went off track.

After all, this kind of thing is very common.

As a well-known psychologist in Konoha Village, she receives many women who encounter similar problems every day, and most of these women are divorced.

For women, divorce means major changes in many aspects of life. They will be full of self-denial, despair about the future, and believe that they see no hope in this life.

Confusion will naturally arise.

Xiyan asked after thinking for a moment.

"Mikoto-sama, are you confused about the future?"

Mikoto nodded gently, and her gentle voice became much deeper. "I just feel a little unwilling and regretful. I always feel like I can do something, but I don't know what I can do."

"Reluctant? Regretful?"

Catching the key words in the conversation, Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through her mind, "Is this guy unwilling to get a divorce?"

Recalling what Mikoto had consulted a few days ago, [frequently dreaming about a man and defeating him in the dream], she immediately had a guess in her mind.

"If that man is Uchiha Fugaku, then everything can be explained by the desire for control," Xi Yan murmured to herself, with a glimmer of enlightenment in her eyes.

Thinking of this, she looked Uchiha Mikoto up and down, and asked a seemingly irrelevant question in a tentative tone, "Mikoto-sama, the man you often dream about, could it be Uchiha?"

Mikoto raised her eyebrows slightly, but soon nodded.

It was not surprising that she could guess that the person in front of her was Uchiha Asuka's student.

If Uchiha Asuka hadn't dragged her to look through adult magazines that night, causing her body to feel strange and embarrassed, she wouldn't have met that guy in her dream.

Seeing that she admitted it so frankly, Xi Yan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and a bit of sympathy appeared in her eyes, which made Mikoto feel a little puzzled.

Mikoto didn't understand, the world was about to end, why wasn't this guy anxious at all.

Could it be that Uchiha Asuka didn't tell his students the news?
"Mikoto-sama!"

At this moment, a gentle voice instantly brought Mikoto's thoughts back to reality.

She looked up and happened to meet Xi Yan's eyes full of sympathy. Xi Yan continued, "You are confused about your future life and hope that it will return to its original track, right?"

"The original trajectory?" Mikoto recalled the two years of peace after the Third World War. She turned her eyes tenderly to the ninja in front of her who grew up in a peaceful era, and sighed softly.

"Of course, we all hope to return to those peaceful days, when everyone lives in peace and tranquility."

"That's it~"

Seeing that Mikoto's nostalgic expression didn't seem fake, Xiyan nodded thoughtfully.

As a psychologist, I have seen all kinds of patients.

Isn’t it just regretting the divorce? What’s the big deal? “As for remarriage.”

“It’s not that difficult!”

Thinking of this, Xiyan stood up and walked straight to the cabinet next to her. She opened one of the drawers and searched carefully, then took out a cloth bag wrapped in oil paper.

Looking at the small package in her hand, Xiyan suddenly turned around and asked again.

"Mikoto-sama, are you sure you want to get your life back on track?"

Seeing the other party's serious look, Misaka was slightly stunned, but then nodded slightly.

She is indeed looking forward to the return of peace to the ninja world.

Especially during the period of returning to post-war peace.

"Lady Mikoto, please take this packet of medicine!" Xiyan handed over the oil paper bag in her hand.

After staring at the oil paper bag in her hand for a while, Mikoto couldn't figure out what it was. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Yugao Chunin, what kind of medicine is this?"

"This is a medicine recently distributed by the village. It can relieve inner confusion and is an auxiliary medicine!" After explaining, Xiyan subconsciously lowered her head and rubbed her rosy cheeks shyly.

"The village also gives out this kind of stuff. Oh."

Before she finished speaking, Misaka's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of realization.

Recently, because of the war, many villagers in the village have shown negative and pessimistic emotions, which are contagious. Once they spread to a certain extent, they can easily cause civil unrest.

"So, this is the kind of medicine the village gave out?" Out of trust in Xiyan and the village, Mikoto put the medicine into her bag without any hesitation. She glanced at the sky outside, then stood up and said apologetically.

"Xiyan Chunin, I have something else to do."

"what!"

Xiyan came back to her senses again. She looked at Mikoto who was about to leave and quickly explained the precautions for taking the medicine. "Mikoto-sama, you can't take this medicine by yourself. You should take it together with the man in your dream. Let him assist you. This way the effect will be better."

Hearing this, Misaka was slightly stunned, and then her eyes looked at the medicine powder wrapped in oil paper.

This medicine actually needs to be taken together with Uchiha Asuka?

Do you still need medical ninja assistance?

Out of trust in the doctor and the village, she was silent for a moment, then turned to Xiyan, nodded, and spoke.

"I see!"

"Okay, then I wish Lady Mikoto to get rid of the confusion in her heart as soon as possible!!" Xi Yan grinned and sent Mikoto out of the office with a smile on her face. Then she gently patted her rosy cheeks with her hands and talked to herself.

"Isn't it just remarriage? Is that difficult?"

"Just get pregnant with your third child. As long as you're pregnant, can't you just get back married?"

Xiyan, who has extensive experience, has personally helped ten divorced couples remarry, and she has rich experience in this regard.

It's definitely not enough to just say you want to rekindle your old love. You need to use some drastic measures to make the two of you get excited.
"Hey~~"

Xi Yan shook her head vigorously to shake out the image in her mind, then she trotted to the window, looked down at Mikoto's departing figure on the street, and said with a smile.

"Originally I didn't have this medicine. Lady Mikoto is really lucky."

"Recently, due to the impending war, the village has been prepared for a massive reduction in personnel. For this reason, the top management has specially arranged for the medical department to prepare a batch of aphrodisiac drugs and have the medical ninjas find ways to deliver them to the couples in the village.

In order to ensure that the village's population can continue to grow and not become extinct while the war causes a decrease in the number of people. "

Watching Uchiha Mikoto's back disappear around the corner of the street, Xi Yan stretched comfortably, then walked into the hall, but was told that the medical ninja who was to take over the shift had arrived and she could go home and rest.

She glanced at the villagers queuing in the hall, then waved to the deputy minister not far away, took off her white coat, and trotted all the way to the medical department, breathing in the fresh air outside in big gulps.

"It seems like war is really coming!!"

Feeling the heaviness in the air, Xiyan's happy mood from resting just now suddenly dissipated a lot.

She had not participated in the Third Shinobi World War at her age.

The year that Xi Yan just became a ninja happened to be the year when the Third Ninja World War ended.

And their teacher Uchiha Asuka never took them to take on any war-related missions. He only completed a few basic tasks to help them meet the requirements for promotion to Chunin.

When the day came when they became Chunins, Sensei Asuka used backdoor methods to arrange them in various departments of the village.

She entered the Medical Department at the age of 12 and became a medical ninja; Iruka entered the Education Department at the age of 12 and became a teacher; Hyuga Hana also entered the Administrative Department at the age of 12 and became an errand runner.
“Administrative Department!!”

Xi Yan looked at the Hokage building in front of her, blinked her eyes, and muttered, "Running errands is also running errands for the Hokage, this is much better than guarding the Hyuga clan."

After saying that, she greeted the two guards at the door and went straight to the office where Hinata Huahua was.

dong dong dong! !

Accompanied by several knocks on the door, before any sound could be heard from inside, Mao Yue Xi Yan gently pushed open the door of the office and curiously poked her head in.

The busy scene before me is completely different from the leisurely scene in the past, and the air is filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Several members of the Nara family sat together, their faces haggard, their hair disheveled, their eyes staring blankly ahead, no one knew what they were thinking about. Hinata Huahua was buried in a pile of documents, a pen tightly in her hand, constantly calculating data, completely unaware that someone had come in.

"Huahua, what are you busy with?" Xiyan tiptoed to Hinata Huahua, looked at what she was writing, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Hinata Huahua suddenly looked up, her pure white eyes were already bloodshot.

She looked at Uzuki Yugao who suddenly appeared, then looked at what she had just written, and said weakly, "The village has just issued an order, asking us to arrange for the people of the surrounding small countries to take refuge in the Fire Country and prepare food and other necessities of life."

Hearing this, Xiyan said with some concern.

"When does the war start?"

Hinata Huahua heard this and after a moment of silence, she said softly, “Strictly speaking, the war had already begun on the day the Five Kage Summit ended.

You were in the medical department, didn't you notice that there were many people missing?"

Xiyan bit her lip, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "Yes, there are fewer people, but it feels a little unreal."

Her position in the medical department was not low, and she had been working there for quite a while. During this period, many of her colleagues had disappeared inexplicably, and it was said that they had been drafted into the war.

But after seeing Hinata Huahua's calm expression, Xi Yan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of war? After all, this is also the first time we face the Ninja World War."

Hinata Huahua shrugged lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her expression, "What can I do if I'm afraid? My eldest brother Mengmeng, as a member of the reconnaissance team, has already set out yesterday.

The Aburame clan and other ninjas who are good at reconnaissance have also left one after another."

"The reconnaissance team has already left? Then who is our enemy this time?" Xiyan frowned and asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Hinata Huahua also fell into deep thought.

Before leaving last night, her elder brother said that it was still unclear who the enemy was, and that specific intelligence would only be known on the way. The main task now was to find out where the enemy would start the battle and provide intelligence support for the subsequent large forces.

"Forget it!" She suddenly shook her head, shaking out the negative information in her mind.

Then, Huahua raised her arm and smelled the smell on it, and her expression suddenly became disgusted, "Xiyan, let's go eat first, then go to the hot springs, and then go shopping."

As she spoke, she pulled Xi Yan towards the Ninja School without saying anything.

When it comes to dining, the more people there are, the more dishes you can order. So how many dishes can two people eat?
When they arrived at the Ninja School, they greeted the old man at the door and ran to Iruka's classroom.

Through the half-open door of the classroom, Xiyan and Huahua stood on tiptoe, looking at Iruka who was patiently teaching the children, with a bit of envy in their eyes.

Among the three-person team, only Iruka's work seemed the most leisurely.

"There are plenty of holidays, a sense of achievement, respect, a simple working environment, and no overtime all day long. This is a typical job that pays well, does not require work, and is close to home."

"Damn it, I should have begged teacher and big brother to send me to the Anbu!!" Hinata Huahua pulled her hair that was stuck together and said a little madly.

Xi Yan glanced at her and replied calmly, "Speaking of which, Asuka-sensei has been in the Anbu for almost two years. He has completed four missions in total, but failed three of them. Two years have passed like this, and the teacher has no signs of becoming a captain of the Anbu."

"Teacher is unlucky. Who made him have to deal with captain Nanaka Sarutobi?"

"Then you want to join the Anbu and become a team leader. Where will you let the teacher put his face?"

“That seems to be true.”

Ring ring ring~~
A pleasant ringing sound echoed in the empty corridor.

A group of children carrying schoolbags poured out of the classroom like a tide, and laughter filled the entire corridor.

Soon, Iruka walked out of the classroom with a book in his hand. He first stretched in the empty corridor. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Uzuki Yugao and Hinata Hana waving at him not far away.

"Huahua, Xiyan, how come you have time to come here?" Iruka walked forward and asked with a smile.

"War is about to break out. Let's have a meal now. Once the war starts, there will be no time." Xiyan nodded excitedly in the direction of the barbecue restaurant.

"war!"

Upon hearing this word, Iruka's body froze, and the joy he had just felt at seeing the two of them was instantly dissipated.

He also had never experienced war, but as a teacher, Iruka had learned many examples of war from books, and those written descriptions had caused a great shock to his soul.

"You two, are you going to the battlefield too?" Iruka quickly caught up with the two of them, his tone filled with anxiety.

Hinata Huahua turned around and answered easily, "We probably won't go to the battlefield. The three of us have been assigned positions in the rear by the teacher, unless there is an emergency at the front.

If we have to go to the battlefield, it means the situation is already critical."

"Where is the teacher!" Iruka asked again.

"The teacher will definitely go. Not only is he the head of the medical class, but he is also a registered combat-type jonin in the village. He will definitely appear in the most dangerous place on the battlefield." Xi Yan said with some concern.

"Teacher." Iruka looked through the glass at the children running on the playground and said sullenly, "What if the teacher dies on the battlefield? That would be a shame..."

"Bah, bah, bah~"

The two women spat on the ground at the same time and looked at this speechless guy with contempt.

This man started cursing others to death before he even went to the battlefield, and his curse was so vicious.

However, reminded by Iruka's words, they couldn't help but start to worry.

If the teacher really died, then there would be no one left in the teacher's lineage.

"Xiyan, is there any solution?"

"How about Iruka change his last name to Uchiha and acknowledge the teacher as his father?"

"Stop, stop joking. I don't have a Sharingan."

"Hey, I'll go ask the teacher for a pair for you."
