Chapter 238 Thank you...Thank you
"So you were out for so long just to bring back a little kid?"
Ao looked at Kaito with a headache. For the first time, he felt that his disciple was so unreliable!
"Well, that's not the case. It was just a coincidence!"
Kaito himself was also very embarrassed.
He will definitely have to continue traveling outside. Although the front-line camp is not an orphanage, it is not good to carry a kid like this who has no ability to protect himself with him all the time, right?
He can only bring Kabuto back here first.
After all, it would be fine if he hadn't met him, but since he happened to meet him, Kabuto himself is a very talented ninja, and he can reduce a future Big Boss, it would not be appropriate not to accept him.
"So what are you going to do with this kid you brought back?"
After hearing Ao's words, Kaito hadn't given an answer yet. Instead, Kabuto, who was standing beside him, hesitantly and secretly pulled the corner of Kaito's clothes, carefully looking at the only person he could rely on at the moment.
Kaito rubbed the little guy's head helplessly and mentioned it to Ao tentatively.
"How about letting Kabuto stay in the front-line camp? The little guy can't eat much."
After saying this, Kaito seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what he said, and quickly added.
"I've tested it, and Kabuto has a very good talent as a medical ninja. Maybe we can let him learn and help in the medical unit."
As he spoke, Kaito patted Kabuto's back, and the little guy very sensibly began to make hand seals and perform ninjutsu. Although the speed was relatively slow, the hand seal movements were very standard.
Ao saw that Kabuto was about to release some ninjutsu, and was a little surprised but did not interrupt him.
After the seal was completed, a clear stream of water quickly formed from the little fellow's palm, rotating into a crystal water ring.
Kaito was also very satisfied when he saw Kabuto successfully perform the "Aqua Ring".
The chakra refining technique and this move were both taught to Kabuto by Kaito on the way back.
Perhaps because Kaito had used the 'Aqua Ring' to heal Kabuto's injuries before, the little guy studied very hard, tried and practiced repeatedly along the way, and soon he was able to release it successfully.
Having just started learning the profession of ninja at the age of six, he was able to quickly master the water-style healing ninjutsu. This is no worse than Uchiha Itachi's talent of learning the Great Fireball at just one glance.
This is also the reason why Kaito is even more certain that this little guy is 'Kabuto'.
Of course, what Kaito said about going to the medical unit to help was all nonsense. After all, a medical ninja needs more than just the ability to cast medical ninjutsu and heal wounds.
How to treat what kind of wounds, what kind of treatment will not have a counter-effect, and more advanced knowledge of the human body and pharmacology are the foundation of a qualified medical ninja.
Kaito asked Kabuto to demonstrate the Aqua Ring just to tell Ao that this kid really has a good talent.
Besides
Ao coughed twice, looked at Kaito speechlessly and said.
"Okay, I get it, can you let go of your hand now?"
Upon hearing this, Kaito felt a little embarrassed and took back his right hand, which was behind Kabuto's back and transmitted chakra to him.
The next moment, the water circle in Kabuto's hand could no longer maintain its shape, and the water shattered and scattered all over the ground.
The little guy looked at Kaito in confusion, obviously afraid that his cheating behavior would be exposed and whether there would be any adverse effects.
'That's not right. Ao-sensei didn't even have his veins popping out. How did he know it?'
After all, Kabuto has just started to refine chakra, and he is still young. Even if he has learned the ninjutsu "Aqua Ring", how much chakra can he use in his body?
However, Kaito still argued in a low voice without confidence.
"The main reason is that there is no ready-made water here. If there was enough clean water, Kabuto would be able to successfully perform the Aqua Ring by himself."
At this moment, Ao was too lazy to listen to Kaito's words anymore. He just waved his hand and started to chase people away.
"Alright, alright, get out of here. You have to guarantee the identity of this kid yourself. Take him to the Sealing Squad for a checkup first, and then you can make your own arrangements."
After thinking about it, Ao added.
"Don't just say you brought him back from the Land of Fire. You should also warn this brat. And when you return to the village, take him away with you."
Upon hearing this, Kaito immediately smiled happily, and as if afraid that Ao would go back on his word, he quickly walked out of the tent with Kabuto in his arms.
It was not until the tent curtain was lifted that Kaito seemed to remember something and turned his head to speak.
"Ao-sensei, can you lend me Mei for a moment~"
"Go away!"
Kaito quickly lowered the curtain, grabbed the still confused Mei, and quickly left.
The only one left was Zabuza, who hadn't reacted to what had happened. He continued to guard the door of the command tent with a head full of question marks.
With Kaito's current identity, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to guarantee a little kid.
However, although everyone with a discerning eye can see that the Kirigakure Village has basically withdrawn from this war, this is still a frontline camp after all.
Kaito still had to take Kabuto to the Sealing Squad to do some basic inspections to prevent spies from other villages from infiltrating the front-line camp.
Fortunately, the famous 'Gale Wing' was watching nearby, and the people in the Sealing Squad would not be so blind as to do any examinations on Kabuto that would harm his body.
After the inspection was completed, with the nod from the front-line commander, Kabuto was temporarily qualified to move around in the camp. Of course, it was estimated that Kabuto would still be the focus of the camp garrison personnel for quite a long time.
As for calling Mei.
Kaito will not stay in the camp for a long time, so he still needs to find someone to help take care of this kid Kabuto. There are some things that Ao-sensei cannot do, and with Mei around, the little guy will not suffer any grievances.
Of course, Kaito will also greet Leader Harusame, Kisame and his subordinates.
It seems that having reached this point, Kaito can be said to have been worried about this future boss of the ninja world.
Finally, he introduced Kabuto to several acquaintances in the medical unit and asked them to help teach him some simple basic knowledge.
Everyone in the medical unit was happy to find something to do.
There is no fighting at the frontline now, and except for the occasional unlucky guy who is injured in training, they are almost bored to death. They welcome a kid like this to come and learn, so that they can have some fun.
After all this busy work, Kaito finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They then stayed in the front-line camp for another two days before setting out again to leave.
However, before leaving, Kaito still chatted with Kabuto alone for a few words.
After ruffling Kabuto's white hair once again, Kaito smiled and took out a glasses case from his arms and handed it to Kabuto.
This is a decorative white item drawn from the general pool before. Kaito specially adjusted the degree of the glasses according to Kabuto's eyesight.
Seeing the little guy holding the glasses case in a daze, Kaito had to help open the box, took out a pair of black-framed glasses that looked a bit rustic, and helped Kabuto put them on his face.
"How does it feel? Is it still suitable?"
"When I'm not here, you have to study medical ninjutsu. When you have time, you can also go to sister Mei and learn some basic ninja skills from the brother without eyebrows."
"Okay, no more nonsense. You have a great talent, you should cherish it."
After saying that, Kaito patted Kabuto's little head one last time, looked at his still dazed expression, smiled, turned around and walked out of the rest tent.
It was not until he saw Kaito's departing figure slowly covered by the falling curtain that tears flowed from his eyes behind his glasses and he murmured.
"Thank you...Thank you very much"
