Might Guy stood up and rushed toward Nohara Haruto, wanting to throw his arms around him.”Thank you!
Thank you so much!”
“I really thought my dad was going to… but I never imagined he could still survive.
You’re my great benefactor!”
“If you ever need anything in the future, just tell me.
I’ll do everything I can to help you!Thank you so much for saving my dad!”Nohara Haruto flickered aside and avoided him.
As a doctor, he had more or less developed a slight obsession with cleanliness.
He had no desire to be smeared all over by Guy’s tears and snot.
Standing nearby, Akimichi Chōza was also visibly moved.
A gentle, warm smile appeared on his face as he said,”Duy is a hero of Konoha.
And you saved him.
That makes you the hero of a hero.”
“I’m a doctor.
This is my duty,” Haruto replied calmly, his expression unchanged.
“Besides, Mr.
Might Duy is a shinobi worthy of respect.
He deserved my full effort.”That answer made Akimichi Chōza look at the young man even more highly.
No wonder he had become the leader of a medical team at such a young age.”No matter what, thank you,” Chōza said sincerely.
Nohara Haruto nodded and accepted the thanks without false modesty.
Then he said to them, “Mr.
Might Duy is no longer in life-threatening danger, but his body is still extremely weak.
He’ll need to stay in Konoha Hospital for observation during this period, so we’ll be taking him with us first.”Akimichi Chōza and the others nodded.
As Haruto spoke, his three subordinates had already placed Duy onto a stretcher.
“Let’s go.”At Nohara Haruto’s order, the four medical-nin carried the heavily injured Might Duy and disappeared into the dense forest.…Watching Nohara Haruto and his team gradually vanish between the trees, Might Guy, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu all had looks of admiration in their eyes.
He was only two or three years older than them.Yet he had already become such an impressive figure.
They had never imagined that a medical-nin could be this remarkable.In terms of age, Akimichi Chōza could already be considered their elder.
A trace of admiration appeared in his eyes as he could not help praising,”So calm, so composed, neither arrogant nor servile… and on top of that, he possesses medical ninjutsu powerful enough to snatch someone back from death itself.
No wonder this newly appointed medical team leader has been rising so quickly in Konoha’s reputation.
He truly has real skill.
“Might Guy, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu all looked toward their jōnin instructor, Akimichi Chōza, and asked in confusion,”Sensei, you’d heard of him before?
Who exactly is he?
He only looks two or three years older than us…”Chōza explained, “Mm.
He’s a team leader in Konoha’s Medical Department.
You already know that much.””But what you may not know is that he is currently the youngest person in the entire Medical Department.
After graduating from the Academy, he personally requested to enter the Medical Department.
In only two years, he became a medical team leader.
His future is truly limitless…”Even so, Might Guy, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu still looked blank.They knew very little about the Medical Department.
They also did not understand why becoming a small team leader there made Chōza-sensei describe him as someone with a “limitless future.”
Guy scratched his head and continued asking,”Then compared to Kakashi, who’s stronger?
Isn’t Kakashi the one praised as Konoha’s greatest young genius?
He graduated from the Academy at five and became a chūnin at six, breaking all of Konoha’s previous records.
No one has surpassed him even now.”Akimichi Chōza shook his head and smiled helplessly.”You can’t compare them like that… Nohara Haruto is a medical-nin.
The most important thing about him is his medical skill.
You can’t take his medical ability and compare it to Kakashi’s combat strength, can you?””Oh…” Guy and the others nodded, half-understanding.”
However…” Chōza thought for a moment before adding, “If you really want someone to compare him to, then perhaps Lady Tsunade, one of Konoha’s Sannin, had only just become a medical team leader when she was his age.”
Might Guy did not have much of an impression of Tsunade.After all, by the time they graduated from the Ninja Academy, Lady Tsunade had long since left the village.
But to them, Lord Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru were both great figures who stood high above ordinary shinobi, far beyond their reach.
Lady Tsunade should naturally be the same.If Akimichi Chōza-sensei could compare this young man to Lady Tsunade, then this boy really had to be amazing.In truth, Akimichi Chōza did not know that much about medical-nin either.
As a jōnin, he had simply heard more information than Might Guy and the others usually would.He did not continue dwelling on the topic.
Instead, he turned toward Guy and the others, his expression becoming extremely serious.”I never expected such a major accident to happen during this mission.
For you to be targeted by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist… did you obtain some important intelligence?”
