Chapter 90: Fateful Encounter

In front of the gate of Konoha Ninja School.

The Fourth Hokage and a member of the Anbu brought a child into the school, which quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Because it was morning, some parents who sent their children to school were surprised to see this scene.

Wherever they passed, people saluted and greeted them, and Namikaze Minato nodded.

After the three people left, the crowd immediately started to talk.

"Am I seeing it right? The Hokage brought a child to school in person?"

Someone brought up the topic, which naturally attracted more people to participate.

Usually, most of the people who have time to send their children to school are full-time housewives. This group obviously likes to discuss some family matters...

"What is the identity of this child? Is it the child of the Fourth Hokage?"

The outrageous speculation immediately appeared, but was immediately refuted by other parents: "Don't talk nonsense. The child of the Fourth Hokage is said to be less than one year old. How could he be so big?"

"That's right, you can't talk about this kind of thing casually. Be careful to be invited to drink tea by the Anbu..."

Perhaps because he felt that his rash speculation was a bit inappropriate, the parent just now shrank his head and dared not say anything.

"Anyway, being sent to school by the Hokage himself, his identity is definitely not simple." One of the male parents, stroking the short beard on his chin, said thoughtfully.

"Tsk, is there any need to say this?" Someone immediately expressed sarcasm for the former's meaningless conclusion.

"Disperse, maybe we will know in two days..."

"..."

Obviously, this kind of group came and dispersed quickly.

After the debate ended without any results, the parents immediately dispersed.

…

…

Half an hour later, in Ninja School.

In a first-grade class, all the students looked curiously at the boy with glasses next to the head teacher.

“Classmates, this is a new student who will transfer to our school from today. Let him introduce himself…”

The middle-aged male head teacher with a kind face and a slightly fat figure said to the students in the audience with a smile.

Next to him, Dou, who was wearing a purple shirt and short sleeves, seemed to have just come to his senses. Facing the unfamiliar faces and curious eyes in the audience, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The introduction speech that was originally prepared was forgotten when the words came to his lips.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became quiet.

One second, two seconds later, the students in the audience couldn't help but start talking...

"What's wrong with this new guy?"

"Is he so nervous that he can't speak? Hahaha."

"I heard that the Hokage personally sent him to school. He doesn't look very good..."

Seeing that this new face couldn't speak for a long time, the head teacher naturally found out something and had to pat Kabuto's shoulder gently. Just when he wanted to help him out, Kabuto finally said, "...My name is Kabuto Yakushi."

Hearing him speak, the audience suddenly became quiet again, but just as everyone was waiting for the next words.

Kabuto lowered his eyes again and stopped talking.

"...Ah, that's it, let's welcome the new classmate together."

The head teacher foresaw that the students in the audience would make a fuss again, so he spoke first.

Hua La La.

Sparse applause sounded, and under his arrangement, Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head and walked to the position arranged for him without saying a word.

However, on the way down the stage, he also caught a glimpse of his future deskmate, who seemed to be a handsome black-haired boy.

The boy had a quiet temperament, and in his dark eyes, there was a calmness that did not belong to a child of this age.

After he just sat down, unexpectedly, the boy at the same table took the lead in greeting him in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Uchiha Itachi, please take care of me."

Kabuto Yakushi was slightly startled, after all, he had heard of the name of Uchiha.

But seeing that the other party greeted him generously and in a friendly manner, he had to respond. After his eyebrows gradually relaxed, he also said politely: "... Please take care of me."

There was no one next to Uchiha Itachi's seat.

But today, the head teacher suddenly arranged for a new classmate to sit there, which soon attracted the surprise of the people around him and the dissatisfaction of a certain group of students.

The group that was dissatisfied was, of course, the girls...

"Damn it, how can this new kid sit with Itachi?"

"Who is this guy? It's really annoying..."

"I want to sit next to Itachi too..." All kinds of envy and jealousy were getting louder and louder.

"..."

When the head teacher saw Itachi take his seat, the students started to quarrel again, and he had no choice but to knock on the blackboard.

He coughed, raised his voice and shouted, "Quiet, quiet, class is about to start..."

After settling the new student, Kabuto Yakushi, he was relieved in his heart. Although he didn't quite understand why the Hokage specifically asked that this child must be placed in the class where Uchiha Itachi was, he had finally completed his mission.

The freshman enrollment storm came to an end for the time being, but for Kabuto, his fate had entered a new chapter.

...

...

At this time, Minato Namikaze, who had just come out of the Ninja School, was walking on the road with Yakushi Nono, discussing other things.

After the orphanage was settled, Nono was completely relieved.

Minato Namikaze was now of course going to arrange her future work direction. According to Nono's ability in his memory, he thought for a long time and decided to ask Nono himself: "What are your plans in the future?"

"As far as I know, in addition to intelligence work in the Root, you are also good at medical ninjutsu."

"If you want, I can also transfer you to the medical department to work..."

In general, Yakushi Nono is also an elite ninja. After all, she was born in the Root and was valued by Danzo, which means that her ability is not low.

In order to make the best use of her talents, he decided to give her the freedom to choose.

Yakushi Nono was walking behind Minato Namikaze at this time. She obviously didn't expect that the Hokage would give her such a free choice. To be honest, the dark things she came into contact with when working in the Root were really not what she liked.

If it was before, she would definitely choose to work in the medical field, but now...

After a slight hesitation, Pharmacist Nono looked at the blond man in front of her, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and then she made up her mind and said seriously: "Hokage, thank you very much for your understanding."

"I still decided to stay in the Anbu..."
