Chapter 19 - 1: Am I that famous? (1/2)
Konoha Hospital our protagonist was lying on a bed with her body wrapped in bandages, He was quietly eating an apple while a medical ninja checked his body.
”Nori-Sama your injuries are greatly improved during this week, your recovery rate is absolutely terrifying, despite your many fractures you should be restored within a month, but you can start walking with a bequi right now, but for your left eye we can do nothing about it, I let you rest.” Says the doctor with a reassuring smile, then he left the room leaving Nori who was staring at the ceiling with his right eye while crunching the apple in his hand.
”I'm bored!!” says he, then he got up from his bed with difficulty, took a crutch leaning against the wall, opened the windows and slowly slipped out himself.
The sun was setting on the horizon, bathing the village with its red tinted light, the streets were calm and not very busy, but this did not prevent us from feeling the depressive atmosphere that reigned among the inhabitants of the village.
”War is difficult for ninjas but also for civilians.” Nori whispered as she staggered slightly through the streets,
He arrived a few minutes later in a barbecue restaurant and after about ten minutes had an excellent meal and then continued walking in the streets of Konoha before finding a quiet bench, he sat down with a little difficulty while admiring the setting sun, giving it a slightly depressive aura.
It had been three weeks since he was sent to Konoha because of his injuries, the other Konoha ninjas who were at the border, included his three students are remain on the defensive line, although Suna's surprise attack was a success, but their loss was also huge, almost three hundred ninjas died during that attack, not to mention the loss of a class S ninja like Chiyo, it was a real blow to the enemy. Konoha's troops had already arrived on the defensive line, reducing the The damage suffered.
”What a beautiful sunset.” Says an old man dressed in a loose outfit and a head covering with the character ”Fire”
”Hokage-Sama...” greeted Nori with a nod as she watched the sunset.
”Can I sit next to you?” Asked he and seeing Nori nodding his head, Sarutobi slowly sat down on the bench while taking a pipe out of his pocket, put a little tobacco, lit it and then took a big puff before exhaling smoke.
”It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a beautiful sunset.” He said, taking a slight puff of smoke.
”Usually people don't know how to admire, they know just look.” Says Nori, stretching slightly while staring at the clouds.
”Maybe you're right.” Said Sarutobi, exalting a light smoke, then put his hand in his loose clothes and removed a black scroll.
”These my personal list of ^sensor type ninjutsu^, you can learn one that should compensate for your missing eye,” he said as he handed Nori the black scroll
”Thank you.” Says Nori by accepting the black scroll.
”But I'm quite curious, why is Hokage-Sama personally moving for me?” Nori asked as she watched Sarutobi.
Sarutobi didn't answer for a moment, he first take a big puff of smoke, then sighed.
”Don't underestimate yourself, you are much more valuable than you think, according to your statistics you killed a total of 547 Suna ninjas, genins, Chunin and even Jonins, not to mention your victory against Chiyo.”
”Your reputation and nickname have already crossed all nations, your head is also priced on the 90 million Ryo black market.”
Upon hearing this a light layer of sweat ran down Nori's forehead
”Am I that famous?”
”Even within Konoha, there are some people who think you should be a spy, but you can't blame them, your growing power is really suspect, even I had doubts.”
