I'm sorry readers that I couldn't upload any chapter in the past days as I was busy of something else.

And also, please comment what you think about this story and feel free to give me any criticism.

"Seriously, Number Three you fought with somebody using that sharp tongue of yours. And with a kid on top of all that."

Number One calmly said to Number, there was no reason for him to be so upset about about Three's behavior earlier since he did force him to accompany Number Kne.

"That kid started it. I was just asking for a water dispenser." Number Three nonchalantly replied with a shrugged while he was making an acrobatic moves in the tree.

"And you cuss at the kid. You shall apologize to the kid sincerely."

Number Three scoffed at what he said.

"It came out wrong."

There was no way that Number Three was apologizing to that brat. His pride would never allow it.

Number Three calmly take a sip on his coffee while observing Number Three's  moves.

"Then whether you like it or not, you shall accompany me whenever I go to the hospital until you gave the kid your apologies."

Number Three lost his balance as he fall off from the tree. He glared at Number One with annoyance, as he said earlier, Number Three thought that he doesn't have time guarding him around all the time besides Number One can take care of himself.

"Where's Number Two, by the way?"

Number Three tried to change the subject and luckily it worked.

"Didn't you met him earlier at home?"

"Huh? But I never met him at home."

"Maybe he's training."

Yeah, of course he is.

* * *

Even with the scheme that Number Three had plan, Number One didn't fall for it and dragged him to the hospital.

Number Three secretly cussed Number One. He knew Number One wouldn't stop bothering him until he apologize for something he never did or maybe he did, but his pride would never allow to admit it.

"I don't care if you're not in my side but if you take one step outside of this hospital without my permission. I'll make sure you shall regret your decision."

Number One threatened, Number Three look like he had ignored him but he knew that he should do as what Number One had said. After all, he was never the type of person to bluff.

"Ahh, Sanae-san, now tell me. Where would I be assigned?"

Number One spotted Sanae who was with her daughter Kanae as he greated her and asked immediately.

"Since today the academy doesn't have any classes Kanae  my daughter will join your first job in the hospital. Loads of Medic-nins including me are occupied for different job so I'll have to assign both of you in this room that has 10 patients with different ailments."

Sanae said while guiding Number One, Number Three and Kanae in their job.

"Such confidence you placed upon your daughter."

"Of course, Kanae has also showed great talent of being a medical-nin in a very young age together with her little sister. So I thought that giving her jobs in the hospital might give her some experience."

Sanae replied with a happy smile on her face.

'It seems this woman really loves both of her daughter.'

"We have arrived. Just enter this room and your job will start now."

Number One was about to ask her something but didn't got the chance to do so as she had already dissappear using the Body Flicker Teachnique.

Number One faced Kanae with a smile on his face and to which she returned.

"I really hope that the way your mother spoke of you isn't false."

"Don't worry, I'm very knowledgeable about  ailments."

Number One didn't reply as he opened the door and was disappointed at the environment that the patients had to endure.

Dirty. That was his first impression of this room. Some patients kept sneezing and some kept coughing while others were moaning in pain. And even more so the room was very dusty and unpleasant because of the smell that was circulating around. It was so dirty that if anyone were to see this other than them, they would assume that this was the janitors room. The windows weren't even opened!

Patients who were as skinny as a stick and obviously lacked any kind of care.

The disgusting smell of dirty water.

They were all dressed like vagabonds and were serious patients who couldn't even walk.

"I should go and find that kid and do what you wanted me to do Numebr One. Don't worry I would never take a single step outside of this hospital until your done managing your job! Bye!"

Number One twitched his eye in annoyance, he knew that Number Three wa making it all up because he doesn't want to be involved in this matter.

Number One look at Kanae just to be meet with a sympathy look and pity eyes.

"You do know what to do with this room being dirty, right?"

"One-kun, of course I know. Let's clean."

Number One and Kanae grab a cleaning supplies and began scrubbing the walls that was full of dust and ants.

Number One wanted to accelerate the process of cleaning the room so he'd summoned 3 clones to clean the walls.

Naturally he would have summoned 20 clones right away but considering that he has other clones out there training he didn't want to accidentally dispel those Clones who were training.

While onto that matter, Number One didn't forgot to observe Kanae's reaction and the suprise look on her face. Seeing her curiosity filling up she began questioning him while cleaning and to which he answered.

1 hour later the walls and the floor were 

dazzling shiningly.

"Kanae-San you wipe those women while I do the mens."

"Mou~ you're very kind for respecting their body hmmm."

Number One smiled and replied.

"Is that even a matter that could be so casually conversing each other?"

"Hehehe, I guess you're right."

She replied with a laid-back laugh and a hand over her mouth.

30 minutes later Numebr One finished cleaning all of the male's bodies while also not missing this chance to check what was wrong with them.

Number One turned at Kanae's direction who had also finished cleaning the women's bodies.

After that Numebr One nudged Kanae to come towards him in order to discuss the ailments the patient's were having.

Before he could even say a word, the people around them began thanking them.

"Th. . . Thank you."

"Thank you so much. . ."

"Such kind children. . . Thank you."

Number One didn't reply to their gratitude as he simply gave them his usual smile. Where thus, Kanae who was the opposite of Numeber One she happily replied back to their gratitude with a happy smile on her face.

"It's our job to help people in need."

Moments had passed as the patients began to turn back on the beds, as Numebr One could now finally discuss the ailment of the patients.

"Kanae-san. You see that man in the first bed."

Number One stated while Kanae nodded seriously.

"He stated that his back was hurt so he probably fractured his spine in a fall, but it's too late for a treatment. But what we could do right now is to help improve his diet and disinfect his bedsores."

Number One paused and let Kanae absorb the information he was saying. Right now he also wanted to test Kanae's knowledge.

"Okay One-kun, I understand what you're saying. What do you need?"

"Let's take him to the operation room and we also need an disinfectant and  an anesthetic and plenty amount of bandages."

Number One said and didn't missed the way Kanae fully understands his words as she nodded.

There was no way he was wrong. This girl is a—

"One-kun, will we be scolded for doing this operation?"

Kanae's words cut Number One's thoughts off as he immidiately replied and began pushing the hospital bed in the operation room.

"Negative. It's not a dangerous operation anyway. Besides we do both know that nothing will go wrong right."

Number One distinctively smiled and rolled up his sleeves and wore a medical equipment.

Number One gently riased the patient's shirt as anybody even a child could tell that his wound were severe.

The fluid was swollen inside and pressure ulcers were formed. If he left it now the bacterial infection could lead to Septicemia, in which bacteria can enter through sores, especially advanced ones, and infect the bloodstream.

"Sir, please just trust us on this."

"Yes, yes."

It was quite weird for Number One that the patient in front of him didn't mind that a child was treating his body.

"Please give me the anesthetic first."

Then as he received the anesthetic from Kanae who was silently observing him.

"Sir, does it hurt ?"

"No. . . It doesn't hurt."

He made sure it was completely numb and signaled Kanae that she should be the one to disinfect the pus oozing scars.

And she did so happily. Thankfully Number One had already made her wear a gloves.

She wasn't simply pouring it on but made sure it disinfected the space between each scar with much consideration.

If Number One had time on his side right now he would continue his thoughts about the girl in front of him that he couldn't help but think that maybe she was the sa—

Numebr One focused his attention at the wound and lowered the chakra scalpel  and cut down.

He accurately cut the dead tissue out, blood burst out.

Normally, since this world was full of chakra he would have already used a medical ninjutsu but he didn't want to reply too much on it since his mother also showed great display over medical knowledge without relying too much on chakra.

He took took glance at Kanae who didn't even scream at the blood and moved his hands quickly without an inch of hesitation.

He blocked the blood flow with gauze and cut the infected area off with her knife.

Extracting the infected area was done now all he has to do was accelerate the patients wound recover using his medical ninjutsu.

30 minutes later he was not done and unbeknownst to him Kanae stared at his back with an admiration look on her face.

"You're comepletely healed now, sir."

"Thank you. How can I ever repay you both."

"No need sir we are only doing our job."

"He's right sir. Besides I love helping people."

The patient weakly smiled at the children who healed him. They were so generous.

"Kanae-san, when you cleaned the patients  bodies did you also checked their ailments?"

Number One asked while writing some notes in his notebooks that consist of the patients recoveries.

"Yes, the patient bed no. 6 has. . . ."

Number One's first day in his temporary job ended in a week as the patients have recovered and were healed by Number One's knowledge of medication and medical ninjutsu while only for Kanae's knowledge since she still hasn't unlocked her chakra.

Seeing their performance Sanae and Akio complement the both of them and urged them to surpass their knowledge of medicine.

While on the other hand, Number Three, who was sick and tired of being stuck in the hospital all day long, he finally apologize to Shinobu for his actions towards her.

Causing Shinobu to mock him by saying.

"Oh my! This stuck-up Uchiha is apologizing to a mere brat like me."

Number One could tell that Number Three was about to use his tongue against Shinobu so he shot him a 'Hold-it-in' glare.

Number Three did as he was told and apologized again and Body Flickered away.

And for the past week, Number One didn't neglect his intentions in the first place and finally has enough events prove that Kanae was also the ■■ as him.
