The patients with minor injuries in the hospital numbered only about two to three hundred.
In two days, the minor injury patients were completely cleared out by Kanda Rokuro, leaving the hospital quite relaxed. The young nurses even had time to chat and pass the boring hours.
In three days' time, Rokuro had earned over 16 million ryō. At the same time, his title as the "Little Divine Doctor" spread throughout Konoha Village.
However—he didn't care about any of this.
He threw the money to Hanata, having him continue to supervise the construction of the nightclub district.
As for himself, he continued his daily routine: his Shadow Clone at the academy, and his main body at the hospital, staying only in these two places.
He originally wanted to go ask Hiruzen Sarutobi how his graduation was being arranged. However, Hanata told him that Hiruzen and Danzo had a massive argument the day before yesterday, and it was best not to provoke either side right now. So, he stayed put and behaved himself.
Kanda Rokuro's Medical Ninjutsu abilities had already been fully acknowledged by the hospital's doctors.
After staying in the hospital for seven or eight days and familiarizing himself with the medical equipment, Yumi started letting him participate in some medium and large-scale surgeries. However, for now, he was only assisting on the side.
His "infinite Chakra" healing played a crucial protective role during the surgical process. If a problem occurred during surgery, they would have him continuously use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal the patient, stabilizing them so nothing went wrong while the doctors restarted the procedure.
Participating in major surgeries achieved Rokuro's ultimate goal.
He was here to see blood.
And major surgeries frequently involved cutting open chests and abdomens.
Watching it made him downright nauseous at first. It took participating in several surgeries before he finally adapted to it.
At the same time, he grumbled inwardly.
No wonder doctors stop treating people like people. They simply understood the human body too well; even seeing a dead person elicited no emotional reaction from them.
Time slowly passed.
By December 19th, he had saved up enough—20,000 Experience Points—to upgrade the Mystical Palm Technique to Level 3.
Nearly a month had passed since Danzo and Hiruzen's argument. He felt that Hiruzen should have calmed down by now, so he prepared to go find the Hokage to ask about his graduation.
At 5:00 PM, Rokuro came out of the hospital.
He headed straight for the Hokage Building and found Hiruzen Sarutobi in his office.
A month had passed, yet Hiruzen's mood was still not very good.
According to Hanata, Danzo had even been punished by Hiruzen and sent away on a mission for a month, and he still hadn't returned.
As for the grudges between Shimura Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Rokuro was too lazy to worry about them.
He entered the office, looked at Hiruzen, and said,
"Old man, I've come to see you!"
Hiruzen looked up at Rokuro and glared.
"No manners! I am the Hokage, yet you show me far too little respect. Careful, or I'll make sure you never graduate!"
Rokuro curled his lip, found a random place to sit down, and looked lazily at Hiruzen.
"Whatever. I have a way to make money now; I don't need to do missions to earn a living anymore!"
Hiruzen was speechless.
This brat had earned over 20 million ryō in just one month at Konoha Hospital—more than even he, the Hokage, made. Risking his life as a ninja out in the field might not even earn him as much as he was making now.
Thinking about it... he was actually a bit envious.
After grumbling inwardly for a moment, Hiruzen waved his hand.
"Alright, just spit it out. What is it now?"
Rokuro said, "I want to ask about two things!"
Hiruzen nodded. "Ask."
Rokuro pointed at himself.
"The first thing is, what exactly is going on with my graduation? Didn't you say it would be sorted out in two or three days? It's been a whole month now!"
Hiruzen glanced at Rokuro, thought for a moment, and said,
"I'll send someone to arrange it for you tomorrow. With your strength and abilities, staying in the academy is indeed useless. From now on, you'll temporarily work at Konoha Hospital. The hospital really needs you right now!"
Rokuro's face darkened.
"Old man, I said I was just going there for an internship. Why are you actually making me be a doctor? Shouldn't a genius like me be assigned to a more important position? Like Anbu Captain, or an Elder or something!"
Hiruzen glared fiercely at him.
"Keep dreaming. A mere Genin, yet you make so many demands. You will stay in the hospital for two years. Once you're eight years old, I'll arrange a different job for you!"
Rokuro was slightly surprised internally.
Two years?
What exactly was Hiruzen planning by keeping him in Konoha?
Puzzled, Rokuro voiced his dissatisfaction directly:
"Old man, aren't you going a bit too far?! I'm already a ninja—why am I not allowed to leave Konoha Village?"
Hiruzen picked up his pipe and took a hard drag.
After exhaling the smoke, he finally looked at Rokuro and said,
"This is all for your own good. There are some things you are not yet qualified to know. Regardless, your current situation is extremely dangerous. Don't leave the village for these two years—just work at Konoha Hospital. Once Danzo and I have dealt with this matter, you can go out and do missions!"
Rokuro was quite surprised.
What exactly was going on?
To make Hiruzen Sarutobi so cautious...
Could it be that the people from the Cloud Village want to take revenge on him?
