Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 181: Discharged

"The recovery is very good; the

bones have fully healed. Don't mess around like this next time," Yuriko

said to Kiba after removing the plaster and conducting an inspection. She was

very serious, almost like a warning.

Kiba nodded seriously. "Yes,

Sister Yuriko."

Yuriko sighed. "Do you really

understand what 'don't mess around' means?"

"Of course," Kiba nodded

repeatedly.

This kid

doesn't listen at all...

Yuriko thought, looking at Kiba's

slightly absent-minded appearance. She could only say helplessly, "Go and

complete the discharge procedures."

"Thank you, Sister

Yuriko!" Kiba showed joy, thanked her, and left her consultation room.

What followed was a series of

formalities.

Half an hour later, Kiba appeared at

the door of Konoha Hospital and let out a long breath.

Finally

out!

Kiba looked at the sky, which was

overcast and seemed ready to rain. The gloomy sky did not affect his good mood.

He was finally free from the bland, tasteless hospital meals!

Kiba now ranked hospitalization as

the third most terrible thing.

Although in a good mood, he felt no

joy on his face. He clenched his fist lightly.

My body

feels a bit rusty! After so many days in the hospital without exercise, I feel

sluggish and weak.

I can't

conclude my body is fully healed. Trying the Injury Mode now isn't wise. The

destructive power might be too much for a body just recovered from serious

injury. It still takes a while to fully recover.

Surprisingly,

this kind of injury, with over a hundred fractures, recovered in just over half

a month after one operation.

In the

original series, Tsunade performed surgery on Lee, and he quickly went to

support Naruto in chasing Sasuke. My injury was serious, and it took half a

month to recover.

As Kiba was thinking, a few drops of

water hit his face. Within seconds, the rain poured down, soaking his clothes

instantly. Helpless, he retreated to Konoha Hospital, watching the pouring rain

while twisting his wet clothes.

"I didn't bring an

umbrella," said a voice from behind.

Kiba turned to see Hirohiko, who was

looking at the rain with a poker face.

"Didn't you go back

first?" Kiba asked, surprised. That morning, Hirohiko had said he had

something to do and went back first.

"It was resolved in

advance," Hirohiko said.

Apparently, Hirohiko had finished

his business early and came to the hospital to see Kiba. They might have missed

each other when Kiba went through the discharge procedures, and Hirohiko rushed

back, learning from Yuriko that Kiba had left.

"Hirohiko, I've been studying

medical knowledge recently. I want to prepare some medicines. I need herbs and

some time to recover. Can you help me gather herbs during this time?" Kiba

clenched his fist.

"Herbs?"

The surprised voice wasn't

Hirohiko's but a familiar female voice like a silver bell.

Before the words fell, both turned

to see Yukina standing there. She wore a white kimono, revealing her white

arms. Her skirt reached one-third of her thighs, with slightly longer

underpants. Black leggings and fishnet stockings wrapped her white, tender

thighs, and she wore clogs on her nude-like feet.

Her slightly haggard face couldn't

hide her delicate and pretty features. She held two umbrellas, one black and

one white.

"Yukina... how are you?"

Kiba glanced at Hirohiko.

Hirohiko shook his head repeatedly.

Kiba asked how Yukina knew he was

discharged today. Hirohiko indicated he hadn't told her.

"Today, I came to see

you," Yukina paused, slightly turning her head away, avoiding Kiba's gaze.

"By the way, thank you for your gift."

"Gift?" Kiba was startled,

remembering asking Hirohiko to send gifts to Yukina, saying they were from

both.

"Hmm..." Yukina nodded,

her face turned slightly away. "I like the sunflower you sent me very

much."

Sunflower?

Kiba blinked and looked at Hirohiko.

Who sends

sunflowers to a patient?

Hirohiko sneaked a glance at Kiba,

his eyes full of expressions saying, "I can only help you this far."

Kiba saw Hirohiko's gaze but didn't

understand its meaning.

Is this

kid getting back at me over money?

"Thank you, Hirohiko, the lily

you gave is also very good," Yukina added, sensing something was wrong.

Kiba's eyes narrowed slightly.

It really

is revenge! Giving yourself a lily, and me a sunflower...

Seeing Kiba's gaze, Hirohiko turned

his head slightly and sighed, even wanting to touch his forehead.

Feeling

guilty!

Kiba thought, seeing Hirohiko's

actions.

"Yukina, can you lend me an

umbrella first? I suddenly remembered something urgent," Hirohiko said to

Yukina.

Yukina was taken aback, then handed

the black umbrella, saying, "Yes."

She had brought two umbrellas today,

having been told by her father to bring one as it might rain. She thought Kiba

might need one when discharged, so she brought two. She hadn't been told by

Hirohiko about Kiba's discharge, but as a direct descendant of the Hyuga

family, she had people serving her, who informed her of Kiba's discharge.

Although the umbrella was prepared

for Kiba, Yukina wouldn't be stingy with Hirohiko, a friend in need.

"Thank you!" Hirohiko took

the umbrella, opened it, turned to face the rain, and said, "I'll go

first."

"Be careful on the road,"

Kiba said with a faint smile.

"Be careful on the road,"

Yukina waved.

Then Hirohiko rushed into the rain,

disappearing with the black umbrella.

The back figure had the feeling of

"my help can only go so far," a bit chic.

Sure

enough, they all run away with a guilty conscience!

Kiba felt Hirohiko was guilty.

Yukina looked at the white umbrella

in her hand, her expressionless face changing slightly.

She inhaled slightly, handed the

umbrella to Kiba, and said, "Here you are."

Kiba was still slandering Hirohiko

but looked at the white umbrella Yukina handed over, thinking of something.

No wonder

he ran so fast, knowing there were only two umbrellas!

"What about you?" Kiba

asked.

"I'm fine. You just got out of

the hospital. If you catch a cold, it'll be bad," Yukina seemed startled

and said.

"You're also recovering from a

serious injury. You can't get wet," Kiba shook his head.

Hearing this, Yukina slightly

lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

Kiba looked at her, then at the rain

outside, and suddenly smiled. "Let's share the umbrella. We'll buy another

later."

"Huh? Together?" Yukina

was startled, looking up at Kiba, who was watching the rain with a slight

smile.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but

Yukina seemed to see a phantom of a handsome young man looking exactly like

Kiba, doing the same movements, standing behind Kiba, and disappearing in a

flash.

"The rain won't stop soon. I

don't know how long it will take," Kiba said, looking at the rain.

But in his heart, he thought:

I must

start physical rehabilitation soon to ensure the Injury Mode is effective when

the plan is implemented.

A blush flashed across Yukina's

face, then she nodded lightly, "Well, that's fine."

Then, a white umbrella and two small

figures walked into the rain.

Raindrops slapped the paper

umbrella, creating a tick-tock sound.

The two gradually drifted away,

eventually disappearing in the rain and fog.
