Chapter Thirteen Two Years
Time flies, time flies.
Konoha 32 years.
It's just the beginning of summer, and the climate is relatively warm, but not too hot.
This day is a special day——
The day when the heroes return!
Of course, the war was not completely over.
The returning heroes are just the seriously injured personnel on the front line. They can no longer survive as ninjas in the future.
On the battlefield, they have become a burden to their colleagues and must be escorted back to Konoha from the front line. They can only spend the rest of their lives in the village.
Following the return of a large number of wounded, there were also the corpses of the sacrificed ninjas, who had fallen asleep on the earth forever.
So, on this pleasant day, some people are silent, some are crying, and some may have tears in their eyes, but they are definitely not tears of joy.
Although there is no order, the people of Konoha and the ninja clan have organized a solemn ceremony to welcome the heroes' return.
But the adults who were waiting for the heroes to return remained sad and silent. The children who used to be lively and active did not know what happened and did not dare to make random remarks. They just stood silently in the sad atmosphere.
War is never a beautiful thing.
——The Shiraishi family.
Shiraishi is not very interested in meeting those so-called heroes.
He has no relatives to participate in this war, so welcoming heroes is unnecessary.
However, Shiraishi knew that Ruri would go over to greet them. As a member of the Uchiha clan, she had the obligation to welcome her clan members who returned from the war.
If Liuli was alone, Shiraishi thought he would join Liuli and greet him at the entrance of the village.
But there must be a lot of Uchiha people around Liuli. If he followed them, he would feel out of place.
For this reason, Shiraishi felt that he should stay at home honestly. After all, he still had a lot of experiments to do.
Two years have passed. Shiraishi has not only taught himself the various medical ninjutsu in the medical ninjutsu scroll that Ruri gave him, but has also mastered them.
To put it bluntly, Shiraishi is very confident in his level of medical ninjutsu.
Apart from this, his growth has not fallen behind in other aspects.
According to Liuli's assessment, he now has a strength equivalent to that of a chuunin.
Ruri was strictly selected by the jounin of the clan a year ago and has the strength of the chuunin level. Shiraishi can match Ruri at 46 or 50, so he is naturally at the chunin level.
However, he never exposed his true strength. In the eyes of others, he was still an ordinary student of the ninja school.
It is the kind of existence that is extremely inconspicuous among the crowd.
I have also mastered a lot of Ninjutsu, leaving aside the Three Body Techniques, Palm Senjutsu, Healing Technique, Hemostasis Technique, and Chakra Scalpel. I have also mastered all these medical Ninjutsu that are necessary for an excellent medical ninja.
As long as you understand the essence, it is not difficult for Shiraishi to learn.
What's more, he has a mature soul and is far superior to ordinary people in terms of self-control. He has devoted several times more time to cultivation than ordinary people.
Apart from normal breaks and classes every day, the rest of the time is basically spent in cultivation.
It was only after going through a lot of hardships that we achieved our current results.
Among the compartments of the house, this is a micro laboratory specially separated by Shiraishi.
On the table were many distilling bottles, test tubes, vessels, and Bunsen burners with red and blue flames.
There are also some glass bottles containing transparent solutions. Some relatively rare plant specimens are soaked in the solution, as well as some specimens of animal trunks, such as eyeballs, livers and other important organs.
Shiraishi mastered these instruments and mixed them with great skill in order to achieve the results he wanted.
The data was then recorded on the computer.
Speaking of which, Shiraishi felt quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Ninja world, which was not very industrially developed, would already have computers.
Although the current computer processing system in the ninja world has not reached a very high level in Shiraishi's opinion, it is better than nothing.
He is only good at chemistry, biology, pharmacology and other fields. Although he also understands mechanical and electronics, he is not proficient in it.
Shiraishi is simply unable to produce its own computers, and professional matters can only be left to professional people.
In Shiraishi's opinion, this computer's processing system was of very low quality, and it also cost Shiraishi a lot of money.
Scientific research is like a bottomless pit, which has been devouring Shiraishi’s few assets in the past two years.
Now, Shiraishi's funds have bottomed out, so his research progress will naturally slow down.
He can collect the raw materials himself, but some precision equipment and some more precious materials still have to be obtained by investing money.
Just when Shiraishi was worrying about this, there was a knock on the door suddenly.
Shiraishi put down his work and opened the door.
As expected, it was Liuli.
At eight years old, she is a little taller than she was two years ago. Although she still looks childish, her eyes have become sharper and colder, giving people an inhumane feeling.
Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, Liuli is indeed an unsociable person.
She doesn't know how to accommodate others, and she doesn't know much about interpersonal relationships, but she is very passionate about becoming stronger.
Therefore, she is a passionate and militant person at heart.
This may be related to the traditional personality of the Uchiha clan. People in this clan are usually very hot-blooded and warlike.
Shiraishi believed that if his true strength hadn't made her look at him differently, it would have been difficult for him to even say a word.
It was precisely because both parties knew a little bit about each other's secrets that Shiraishi believed that he and Liuli were a good partner.
"Is the welcoming ceremony over so soon?"
Shiraishi introduced Liuli into the house and asked out of curiosity.
According to Shiraishi's estimate, Ruri should spend a day cleaning up the returning heroes of the Uchiha clan.
"No, I just left early, but many people in the clan died, and some can no longer survive as ninjas."
Liuli's mood seemed a little low.
"After all, it is war."
Shiraishi sighed with emotion.
Death or disability in war is undoubtedly a normal thing.
"Why didn't you go?"
Liuli asked Shiraishi this question.
"I have no relatives coming back from this war."
Liuli then remembered that Shiraishi's parents had died in the mission a long time ago.
"Feel sorry."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about this kind of thing. I'm just a little freer."
Baishi smiled at Liuli, expressed that he didn't care, and walked towards the compartment in the house.
Liuli also followed Shiraishi into the cubicle - Shiraishi's private research room.
Shiraishi did not hide the research from Liuli.
After all, what she did was not a shameful and forbidden experiment. Even if Liuli knew about it, she would not say anything nonsense.
They have developed this tacit understanding in the past two years.
Although she has not yet reached the highest level of "I understand even if you don't tell me", Liuli is not someone who likes to get to the bottom of things.
It's like she knew Shiraishi's true strength, but she never had the idea of exposing Shiraishi.
Shiraishi wouldn't ask Liuli why he didn't expose him, and Liuli wouldn't ask Shiraishi why he hid his strength.
Even so, it will not affect the pure friendship between them.
