Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 87

One of the ANBU said, "Shirahoshi Genin, if you jump off a high place in the hospital again for no reason, we might arrest you as a 'perverted doctor'."

Shirahoshi: "......"

He feigned embarrassment, scratching his head. "Sorry, sorry. Something came up just now, so..."

pat-

Suddenly, a hand appeared on her shoulder. Shirahoshi looked at the ANBU ninja in front of her, completely bewildered.

"I know, stay strong!"

"???"

"Sigh, what a wonderful couple, how did things end up like this?"

"???"

"The captain just saw what happened between you two." — He only saw half of it.

"?????"

From then on, the identity of the pervert... oh no, the surgeon was completely sealed away by Shirahoshi for a long time.

In the days that followed, various training programs began, such as the use of chakra threads, which is even more difficult than chakra scalpels, as well as increasing the weight of his physical training and conducting multifaceted research on his own cells.

Only inanimate objects can increase in quantity and change in quality out of thin air. Living objects are similar to the organs and cells in the body. If they leave the ROOM space and are no longer under the control of the White Star, the newly added living cells will also lose their autonomous activity.

Therefore,

ROOM Awakening Skill: Immortality. To achieve immortality, all the cellular components, organ parts, tissues, and skin of a living being must be replaced with the ROOM attribute and adjusted to a perpetually youthful state.

Such a thing, granting someone the ability to live forever, is perhaps only something a deity of Nuwa's caliber could do.

Therefore, Shirahoshi also understands why Law in the original One Piece said that he would die after the surgery: creating so many human cells at once, and requiring real-time observation and control to maintain the body's balance, thus achieving a pure 'ROOM' modified body.

The moment Luo exits the ROOM space and the surgery ends, given Luo's physical condition, and even Shirahoshi's current physical condition, she's guaranteed to die. (An immortality surgery with extreme physical limitations).

—It's too difficult.

It's better to make your body a little younger every now and then, so you can stay 18 forever: the only downside is that you have to sacrifice some of the results of your hard work during that period of time.

Three years later.

Various major events occurred throughout the ninja world. For example, Kato Dan, a third-level commander and Konoha Jonin, tragically died at the beginning of the thirty-seventh year in a rainy forest on the border of the Land of Rain, towards the Land of Grass.

When Kato Dan's father, the Kato clan chief, learned of this, he suffered a brain hemorrhage on the spot. Meanwhile, Tsunade, a ninja skilled in medical ninjutsu, was on the battlefield, and even with the village doctor Nono's personal efforts to save her, she could not be saved.

With no one left in the clan to carry on the tradition, the remaining Chunin families discussed the matter and decided to formally request the village to disband the ninja clan.

From then on, the Kato family fell into complete obscurity.

Only his niece Shizune, who was studying at the Ninja Academy and working as an intern nurse at the hospital during holidays, was left behind. Upon hearing the news, she fainted several times from crying. After resting for a while, she decided to inherit the Kato name on her own and was determined to rebuild the Kato clan in the future.

At this time, the Ninja World War was nearing its end. Only the Iwa ninja were still struggling to hold on, while the Suna ninja had long since given up their offensive and retreated, waiting for the negotiations between their superiors to be completed so that the day of peace for the Ninja World would arrive.

But none of this had anything to do with Shirahoshi.

"We found your child by a river in a forest outside the village. Please be more careful next time and don't let him run away again."

"Thank you!"

"As expected of Konoha's Black Ghost, missions are always completed perfectly!"

Inside the village mission center, the child's parents hugged their son and thanked Bai Xing, who was ahead of them.

"And me too, the youthful beast of Konoha!"

"Uh." The couple glanced at Might Guy's strange behavior, took a step back, but when they saw his headband, they realized that he was also a genin. They quickly bowed and thanked him, then took their child home. From time to time, the sound of parents scolding their children could be heard outside the door.

Might Guy looked dejected, and Shirahoshi patted him on the shoulder: "Alright."

"A little bit of parental prejudice shouldn't hurt you, right?"

Bai Xing still looks like she's eighteen years old, and her height has remained around 1.8 meters without increasing. Her appearance hasn't aged at all; on the contrary, she looks even more charming because the quality of her cells has improved.

"Here, 18,000 yen, take it." Nara Yosuke personally placed the money he had just counted into Shirahoshi's hand. The next second, seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but complain, "Hey you two. You've done so many C-rank and D-rank missions, and so many years have passed. Others have already been promoted to Chunin, or even Jonin, how come you two are still Genin?!"

Shirahoshi scratched his cheek, then immediately lowered his head in shame. Might Guy, standing beside him, felt even more ashamed. He had tried his best, but relying solely on the taijutsu he and Shirahoshi had researched and their limited chakra reserves was simply not enough to become a Chunin.

"Well, even genin can survive, so I'm sure I'll pass next time!"

"Heh. See if I believe you or not." Nara Yosuke had figured it out. Might Guy might have some strength to back it up, but Shirahoshi seemed to be deliberately not becoming a ninja, or rather, to escape the pursuit of several women in the village: such as Yuhi Ryuun and Shirahoshi's two female disciples.

-

After leaving the Hokage Building, Shirahoshi waved goodbye to Might Guy at a street corner: the other party didn't need to deposit his money in a bank, but he did, since he had quite a bit of cash at home.

soon.

Shirahoshi arrived at the Konoha branch of the Ninja World Bank: Ninja World Bank - Konoha Branch.

Chapter 90: The End of World War II, Thoughts on Traveling Through the Ninja World

Leafy branches.

The luxuriously decorated lobby of the bank had a fresh and pleasant air, and even though it was a bit hot outside, the temperature inside remained at a comfortable temperature.

Bai Xing glanced at the two ice blocks hanging on either side of the wall, which emitted a cold breeze and had a bamboo-like flowing curve that led into the room behind the wall.

Furthermore, the interior of the hall features numerous windowsills crafted from expensive Phoebe zhennan wood, used for conducting business.

This atmosphere is something that modern decoration cannot match.

Elegant and beautiful, the ice cubes are made of medicinal materials, which can fill the air with a faint herbal fragrance.

This kind of ice is only used at room temperature: around 25 degrees Celsius. In normal low or high temperatures, it is more effective to turn on an air conditioner for cooling or heating.

There are guards at the entrance of the money exchange, and there is also a special product developed by a high-tech company that everyone must scan before entering: to prevent the use of transformation magic.

At this time, no customers were depositing money at the counter: mainly because there were too few people with money, most people spent it quickly, and only a small number of people needed to deposit money.

"Hello, I'd like to conduct some business."

The saleswoman at the counter saw Shirahoshi arrive and smiled broadly: "It's nice to see you again, Shirahoshi Genin."

"Did today's mission go smoothly?"

"It's alright. But Miss Sawa seems to have become even more beautiful today."

Ahead, Fukuyama Sawa, dressed in a money exchange uniform, smiled faintly, her exquisitely beautiful face, lightly made up, looking up: "Well, how should I put it~ no matter how pretty you are, you can't compare to Shirahoshi's handsomeness~"

"From two years ago until now, I haven't noticed at all that Shirahoshi's looks have declined~ In fact, she seems to have become even more attractive to me~~~"

After printing out the deposit amount for Shirahoshi and stamping it, Fukuyama Sawa handed the passbook back to Shirahoshi, resting her chin on her hands:

"How about it? Interested in marrying into my family? My family is quite wealthy~ We can definitely support you. You've been doing missions for so long and you've only saved five million."

"This amount of money isn't enough to cover your expenses."

Bai Xing picked up the passbook, calmly patted off the perfume scent that clung to it, and put it in her pocket: "To be precise, it's five million seven hundred thousand taels."

He saved all his spare change, and there were still about 50,000 taels of spare change at home. As long as he didn't get married, he would never run out of money.

The woman in front of him, Fukuyama Sawa, claimed that her father was a high-ranking official in the military command of the Daimyo Prefecture, and that he was very rich and powerful.

But this young lady, having heard about ninjas, decided to find a ninja son-in-law for her family, one who also met her own preferences.

The high-ranking official also seemed to be a doting father to his daughter and thought the idea was excellent. After all, the Military Affairs Bureau was in charge of managing the army, and having a ninja son-in-law was not bad.

Thus, Fukuyama Sawa became a full-time employee at this branch of the money exchange.

—In addition, not just anyone can become a salesperson here; only the children of local nobles and officials have the opportunity to hold the position.

Ordinary people? That's impossible.

A ninja must leave the ninja village and confirm that he has no connection with the ninja village or any organization before he can take up a position with the help of his parents, parents-in-law, or other elders.

Furthermore, the positions are subject to periodic surveys and investigations, and new people are replaced every few years to prevent anyone from becoming greedy and having evil thoughts after handling too much, ultimately enriching themselves and ruining the whole pot of rice: the asset cake of the upper class.

They don't mind being a little greedy, but they don't lack that little bit, so they will actually maintain the order and protect their own and their families' interests.

Moreover, many ninjas' savings, and even the funds of their villages, are entrusted to money lenders for safekeeping. If something goes wrong, the ninjas' fists are no joke. Ultimately, the high-ranking officials of the Daimyo's prefecture will have to foot the bill, so the staff are even more afraid to cause trouble.

......

After saying goodbye to Fukuyama Sawa and another hostile teller, Shirahoshi walked out of the pleasantly warm lobby of the money exchange.

To be honest, the nobility really knew how to enjoy life.

I remember Fukuyama Sawa and another guy had freshly squeezed fruit drinks and snacks on their table, and they could chat freely.

This kind of work atmosphere is simply the dream of countless working people in their past lives.

and,

It's said that the salary earned in a few years of employment can buy a ninja's entire life.

This is a Jonin.

"But I'm sorry, the purpose of persisting in doing tasks to earn money is to increase the amount of useful training in my daily training."

With this in mind, Bai Xing walked forward and finally arrived at a training ground, where she began her sword practice for the day.

"1"

"2"

"..."

"1000"

"1001"

"1002"

"..."

In short, Shirahoshi's sword practice method is very simple: he grips the sword with both hands and swings it forward, while a large tree stands about five meters away. The wind from the sword seems to leave small friction marks on the tree's surface, continuing...

After an unknown amount of time and countless swings, a small crack appeared on the front side of the tree trunk in front of Bai Xing, emitting a soft sound.

——Crack!

"almost."
