After the nurse's explanation, Kaito realized that he had made a big mistake.
There were too many casualties after the village was attacked before.
Many people came to Nakamura Keiko to use their connections, hoping to get priority treatment or arranging a bed in the hospital ward, which made Keiko very annoyed.
Moreover, many of the people who came were ninjas or ninja family members, so it was not easy to offend them.
However, the Kirigakure Hospital was already operating at full capacity at this time, and randomly cutting in line might result in more patients not receiving timely treatment.
As a last resort, Keiko could only instruct the doctors and nurses in the hospital not to disclose her whereabouts, so as to avoid being blocked by people with connections who would come to her door and she would have no way to refuse.
As for the unlucky guy caught by Kaito, he happened to be the family member of a patient who had just been treated surgically by Nakamura Keiko. Before leaving the ward, the nurse specifically reminded him not to disclose Nakamura Keiko's whereabouts at will.
And Kaito was a 'kind' ninja who had 'helped' him before, which was why this guy hesitated when facing Kaito and didn't dare to tell where Nakamura Keiko was.
In the end, Kaito was very embarrassed and apologized and wanted to compensate, but was rejected by the other party. He only said that next time when he went to his shop to help with handicrafts, he should not disappear halfway through the work.
Instead, it made Kaito even more embarrassed.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Kaito was no longer in a hurry to disturb Keiko, knowing that she was in surgery. Kaito originally just wanted to confirm whether the attack on Kumogakure had affected the other party, and after asking the nurse to remember to help convey the news that he was back to the village, Kaito was ready to go see old man Shimotsuki again.
Who would have thought that before Kaito left the hospital compound, he saw a burly old man with white hair and a ponytail, walking with a cane, chatting and laughing with another nurse.
Who else could it be but Ichiro Shimotsuki!
When Kaito came closer, he realized that the nurse who was blocked by the burly figure of old man Shimotsuki was also an acquaintance, her neighbor, Miss Nanase, who he often helped run errands for.
Kaito didn't know what Shimotsuki talked about with others at his old age, but he made Miss Nanase laugh sweetly and her eyes were full of tears.
After Kaito quietly approached, he poked old man Shimotsuki on the lower back with the handle of the Shinso, scaring him so much that he almost dropped the crutch in his hand and fell to the ground.
"Mirukawa-san." Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, or perhaps it was because Kaito was now more famous, Miss Nanase spoke much more politely.
"Who! Hey, Kaito Boy, you're back?"
Shimotsuki was startled. When he turned around, he didn't notice Kaito at first. It was only after Miss Nanase reminded him that he looked down and saw Kaito.
Now, Kaito, who is about to turn 12 years old, has grown to 150 cm in height, which is considered tall among his peers.
But in front of Shimotsuki, who is over 2 meters tall, has strong muscles and arms thicker than his thighs, he is still just a little kid.
'Fortunately, the strength of the ninja world is not calculated according to height!'
Kaito first nodded to Miss Nanase, then grinned at old man Shimotsuki.
"What happened to you, old man? Did you hit your toe with the hammer?"
Although Shimotsuki looked injured, he was not missing any limbs and was in good spirits. Keiko also confirmed that he was fine, so Kaito finally put his worries to rest.
However, when the old man heard Kaito's teasing, he immediately puffed his beard and glared, and began to explain himself.
"I am a traditional swordsmith! How could I make such a low-level mistake! I got hurt while saving someone!"
As a result, just as old man Shimotsuki finished speaking, for some reason, Miss Nanase beside him laughed even more happily.
"Hey, old man, you are acting like a hero now?"
Seeing that Kaito still didn't care, Shimotsuki simply grabbed Kaito and insisted on telling him about his heroic deeds.
It turned out that on the day of the attack, an unknown kid went to the ninja tool shop where Shimotsuki worked to buy a kunai.
However, it seemed that because she was short of money, she picked and chose, hesitated but still could not buy it.
Later, Shimotsuki, who was working as a blacksmith in the backyard, was attracted out.
It was at this time that the two tailed beasts of Kumogakure launched an attack on the Kirigakure Village. Houses collapsed, the earth shook, and the entire Kirigakure Village was in chaos.
As for the ninjas of the Kirigakure Village, those who understand will understand.
There were simply not many people willing to cover and evacuate civilians, so the ordinary people in the Kirigakure Village could only flee on their own and find places to hide.
At that time, the Ninja Tool Shop was right on the edge of the affected area and was directly knocked down and collapsed by the aftermath, and the little kid who came to shop was about to be crushed underneath.
Although old man Shimotsuki was quite old, his muscular body from years of blacksmithing was not to be trifled with. He carried the falling wood and gravel and threw the little kid onto the street outside the store.
However, his legs were pinned down by the beams and the collapsed wall and he was unable to escape.
"Isn't this quite amazing, old man?"
Kaito looked at Miss Nanase, who was still smiling, with some confusion.
As a result, Ichiro Shimotsuki's face turned red and he stopped talking.
However, after this exchange, Miss Nanase's unfamiliarity with Kaito gradually faded, and she continued telling the story with a smile.
"Little Kaito, who do you think would go to the ninja tool shop to buy a kunai?"
Those who can go to the Ninja Tool Shop to buy kunai are either ninjas or at least students of ninja schools. Even if ordinary people want to defend themselves, most of them will only choose weapons such as short swords.
However, the development of events described by Miss Nanase was slightly different from that described by old man Shimotsuki.
The kid who was suspected to be a ninja trainee wanted to evacuate as soon as the house collapsed, but she was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed old man Shimotsuki.
Even though she was a reserve ninja, she was still a child after all. Facing a muscular monster like Shimotsuki, she couldn't break free even if she tried her best.
The little girl could only watch Shimotsuki running out of the store with her under his arm at a much slower speed than herself.
As a result, the child was hit by the gravel and het eyes were blinded by the fine sand.
In the end, Shimotsuki's legs were pinned by the crossbar and he was unable to run out.
Fortunately, the child is quite capable and has good character.
Seeing that old man Shimotsuki was trapped in order to "save" her, she did not choose to abandon the old man and run away alone.
The kid picked up two short swords from the store at random, and with one strike she broke the solid wooden beam of the Ninja Tool Shop that was as thick as an adult's waist, and then rescued old man Shimotsuki.
Afterwards, she escorted Shimotsuki all the way to a safe place.
After hearing the whole story, Kaito also laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and kept patting Shimotsuki's arm.
Shimotsuki was so angry that he didn't plan to continue doing rehabilitation exercises outside. He turned around and walked into the hospital building.
Seeing the old man walking so fast with his crutches, Miss Nanase hurried over to support him.
Kaito didn't continue to follow him. He looked at the old man's back, touching his chin with his right hand and thinking.
‘From the old man's description, she should be a first or second year student at the Ninja School? She was able to cut a solid wooden beam with a single strike of a short sword, so she seems quite capable.’
‘Is there such a kid in Kirigakure?’
However, Kaito only thought about this idea for a moment and didn't dwell on it anymore.
However, he was very happy that he had something to do to make fun of Old Man Shimotsuki.
