Chapter 43: The Origins of the Green Bodysuit
[Uchiha Fugaku: Damn~ I was so busy with the two of us that I almost forgot about Sasuke. Hey, Ren, could you go to the hospital to check on Sasuke for me?]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Yes, Ren, you beat Sasuke up so badly yesterday. As his classmate, you should visit him!]
Hearing Naruto's words, the Fugaku couple remembered they had a son lying in the hospital.
Ren Arakawa chuckled and said, "Fists and feet have no eyes. Besides, Sasuke was the one trying to show off and got beaten. Can you blame me?"
[Uchiha Fugaku: ...]
[Uchiha Shisui: Ren is right. Sasuke-kun is too arrogant. Getting a beating might not be a bad thing for him!]
[Fugaku Uchiha: But... he beat my son until he vomited!]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Yes, even if he wanted to teach Sasuke a lesson, this was going too far. What if Sasuke can't have children in the future?]
[Uchiha Shisui: Ahem~ Don't you guys still have Itachi? I remember Itachi also had a... you know... and it wasn't small either.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Itachi carries too much burden. I think it's better to leave the matter of continuing the family line to Sasuke!]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Honey, if I'd known you were still as good as ever, we should have had a third child!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Stop dreaming. When the village was implementing family planning back then, we were fined heavily for having Sasuke. You want a third child? Do you think we're made of money?]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Luckily, I only had Neji, so we avoided the overpopulation fine!]
[Might Dai: Same here, mainly because I was poor, and my wife ran off with someone else...]
[Yuhi Kurenai: Damn! No wonder you always wear that green jumpsuit—so that's why!]
[Might Dai: Sigh~ It's a long story!]
Ren Arakawa: "Holy crap, your Konoha Village actually practices family planning? Who came up with that?"
Watching the conversation of these big shots, Ren felt as if he had stumbled upon some incredible secret.
[Tobirama Senju: Ahem~ That was a rule I set up back in the day, mainly to curb the population growth of the powerful clans.]
[Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, aren't you hindering the village's development by doing this?]
[Tobirama Senju: Brother, what do you know? If a clan's population grows too large, it can easily become a threat to the village.]
[Hashirama Senju: Damn, you're such a schemer!]
[Uchiha Madara: I have to say, when it comes to cunning, I, Madara, would call you the strongest!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Sigh~ Because of the fine for overpopulation with this second child, our family had to eat pickled vegetables for years to recover. Kid, please help us out!]
Ren Arakawa: "Sure, a B-rank ninjutsu as the service fee!"
[Tobirama Senju: Kid, you're really ruthless! You run an errand and charge a B-rank ninjutsu?]
Ren Arakawa: "What do you know? I'm taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
[Tobirama Senju: Holy crap, taking advantage of someone in a tough spot and still talking so righteously—you're shameless!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Fine, I'll give it to you!]
Uchiha Fugaku hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decisively donated [Great Fire Annihilation]!
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. I'll take your money and do your job, so you can trust me, right?" After receiving the donation, Ren happily headed to the hospital.
Konoha Hospital.
This place was originally just a wartime hospital open to ninjas. However, due to the current era of peace, Hiruzen Sarutobi had it renovated. The revamped Konoha Hospital not only opened its medical services to ordinary villagers but also consolidated all the other small clinics in the village into this location. The merger made it the only large-scale medical facility in Konoha Village.
Specializing in the treatment of gynecological diseases!
When Ren arrived at Konoha Hospital, the hospital staff were changing shifts. Even the nurses who were originally standing at the reception desk had gone to eat. Looking at the empty hospital lobby, Ren was at a loss. He only knew that Uchiha Sasuke was in Konoha Hospital, but he didn't know which ward the other was in. Searching room by room might take until nightfall.
"Hey, Ren, what are you doing at Konoha Hospital?" Just as Ren was about to go to the cafeteria to ask a nurse for information, a small, soft hand suddenly patted him on the back.
"Who is it?" Ren's expression changed. He quickly grabbed the arm that had patted him from behind. Having inherited the Fourth Hokage's taijutsu skills and combat experience, his vigilance was now far beyond that of ordinary people. Anyone who patted him on the back without his permission would instinctively be perceived as an enemy attack.
And so, the moment that hand touched his shoulder, he immediately retaliated with a beautiful shoulder throw!
—Crack!
—Thud!
A muffled sound followed. The tiles on the hospital floor were smashed, creating a crack. The person who had tried to pat Ren on the shoulder from behind was instantly 'taken down' to the ground!
However, when Ren saw the person he had just thrown, his face immediately turned extremely awkward.
Because this person was none other than Haruno Sakura, one of the members of Team 7, who was rushing to the hospital for the team assembly, just like Naruto Uzumaki!
