Chapter 9: Random Pokémon Hatching Egg

[The green treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations, host, on obtaining 1 random Pokémon hatching egg and 10 intermediate Energy Cubes.]

Seeing the rewards in the green treasure chest, Yue Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. Ignoring the Energy Cubes, Yue Yan's attention was all focused on the random Pokémon hatching egg.

According to the system's introduction, this hatching egg needs thirty days of incubation, and any Pokémon may randomly hatch from it during this period. If he was lucky, even Arceus, the creator god of the Pokémon world, could be hatched.

Even though Yue Yan knew he was indulging in wishful Fantasy, he still fantasized about hatching an Arceus. If he couldn't hatch Arceus, other mythical Pokémon such as Dialga, Palkia, Kyurem, or Rayquaza would also be fine. As long as it wasn't Groudon, which couldn't fly, Yue Yan wasn't picky. If he really had to hatch a Groudon, well, it couldn't fly, so be it. Anyway, it was a first - tier god. It should be able to easily defeat a hundred or so Otsutsuki, right?

"Heh heh..."

Lost in his own Fantasy, Yue Yan couldn't help but let out a silly laugh.

"Yue Yan, what are you laughing at?"

Looking at Yue Yan's silly - laughing face, Aunt Natsuki, who had just reattached a Chunin's leg, asked curiously.

Coming back to his senses, Yue Yan scratched his head embarrassedly. Thinking about his silly - laughing when he was carried away just now, he must have looked like a fool. If Asuma and the others were here, they would probably laugh at him.

But Yue Yan underestimated his own face. After all, the two Chunin beside him were completely charmed by him.

Shaking his head and not thinking about these things, Yue Yan came up with an excuse appropriate for his age.

"I'm laughing at myself for taking down such a big wild boar. I'm just a bit proud, and I won't let it get to my head again."

Hearing this, Aunt Natsuki gently stroked Yue Yan's head with a smile.

"You're very excellent. You took down this wild boar in such a short time. You're far more outstanding than your peers. I've seen your talent and the hard work you've put in. I've never met Kakashi, who is praised as a genius by everyone, but I believe you're no worse than him. You have the capital to be proud."

Unexpectedly receiving such high praise from Aunt Natsuki, Yue Yan embarrassedly scratched his head again. Looking at the dead wild boar's carcass, he changed the subject and asked, "What should we do with this wild boar?"

"Leave it to us. After all, it's our job."

The two previously ignored Chunin stepped forward and said.

"Little sister... Brother is really amazing. When I was your age, I couldn't take down such a big wild boar."

Without paying attention to what the Chunin said later, Yue Yan's face darkened as soon as he opened his mouth.

Did you just call me little sister!? It must be, right!?

Yue Yan really wanted to punch him at this moment. I'm obviously handsome, just not flamboyantly so. Are you really that blind!?

Although Aunt Natsuki was extremely reluctant in her heart, she had work to do at the hospital later. After saying goodbye, she was about to leave.

Seeing this, Yue Yan glared fiercely at the Chunin who had just spoken, then followed Aunt Natsuki.

On the way back to Konoha Hospital, Yue Yan finished reading the introduction of the intermediate Energy Cubes. They contained more energy than the ordinary ones. After taking them, the enhancement to the physique was also greater than that of the ordinary Energy Cubes.

He wondered if it was because he got a hatching egg. Now, both the ordinary Energy Cubes and the intermediate ones had an introduction stating that they could be given to Pokémon.

"Yue Yan, how much chakra do you have?"

Yue Yan was thinking whether the intermediate Energy Cubes would taste better than the ordinary ones. Suddenly, he was startled by Aunt Natsuki's question. After he came to his senses, he shrugged and replied truthfully, "I don't know. Without a reference standard, I'm not sure how much chakra I have. Anyway, I've never used it all up."

Hearing this, Aunt Natsuki fixed her eyes on the red hair at the end of Yue Yan's ponytail.

"Red hair... Could he be from that clan..."

Aunt Natsuki murmured to herself as she recalled the extremely solid Chakra Scalpel Yue Yan had used before. Every inch of it was chakra. Even she couldn't maintain it for long. However, Yue Yan not only maintained it long enough to cut through a boulder but also used it to kill a wild boar.

Although that wild boar was just a bit larger in size, an ordinary Chunin could easily deal with it, though it might take some time. But Yue Yan, who could kill it effortlessly, at least had the level of a Genin.

Maybe she should report this to the Third kage.

As one of the top - tier medical ninjas in Konoha Hospital, although she wasn't one of the high - ups, Aunt Natsuki had access to a lot of information. Naturally, she knew that red hair was the symbol of the Uzumaki Clan.

After thinking it through, Aunt Natsuki couldn't help but look forward to Yue Yan's future. As long as he didn't die prematurely, Yue Yan would definitely become a pillar of strength in Konoha.

"Yue Yan, you don't have a summoning beast yet, do you?"

Hearing this, Yue Yan's eyes lit up, and he looked at Aunt Natsuki expectantly. At the hospital, as an assistant, Yue Yan had participated in several important surgeries with Aunt Natsuki. During that time, Yue Yan had seen Aunt Natsuki summon Katsuyu to assist in the surgery. Since Aunt Natsuki didn't have other summoning beasts, it was likely that this was the only one.

After all, it was Katsuyu, the most powerful medical - class summoning beast in the ninja world. It was impossible not to be tempted.

Seeing Yue Yan's expectant look, Aunt Natsuki knew that he had guessed what summoning beast she was talking about. But looking at Yue Yan's cute little face, Aunt Natsuki smiled and couldn't help but gently pinch his face.

"You've probably guessed it. After we get back to the hospital, I'll give you the Summoning Scroll of Lady Katsuyu."

It's worth noting here that Katsuyu is not Tsunade's exclusive summoning beast. During the Second Shinobi World War, as she realized the importance of the Mystical Palm Technique in treating the wounded, Tsunade freely gave the Summoning Scroll of Katsuyu to all medical ninjas.

However, it doesn't mean that one can contract with Katsuyu just by getting the Summoning Scroll. One must be personally verified by Katsuyu to be qualified to sign the Summoning Contract. The requirements are that both the character and medical ability must be up to standard. If any one of them fails to meet the standard, one cannot summon Katsuyu.

The reason why Aunt Natsuki decided to give the Summoning Scroll of Katsuyu to Yue Yan was that she believed Yue Yan's ability was qualified to sign a Summoning Contract with Katsuyu.

Back at Konoha Hospital, Aunt Natsuki gave the Summoning Scroll of Katsuyu to Yue Yan. After Yue Yan left his name on the Scroll, he was successfully recognized by Katsuyu.

Aunt Natsuki also wrote this scene in the report and submitted it to the Third kage.

In the Third kage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was puffing on his pipe while looking at the report.

As a Father, Hiruzen Sarutobi loved his son Asuma very much. Therefore, he was quite satisfied that Yue Yan, a medical ninja recognized by Katsuyu, was assigned to Asuma's team.

He also noticed the information in the report that Yue Yan was suspected to have the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan.

After having Kushina, the Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tailed Fox, Konoha was not short of a member of the Uzumaki Clan. However, Yue Yan was a male. In the future, he could make the Uzumaki Clan thrive in Konoha, which was also a good thing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gently tapped the table and murmured to himself.

"In that case, let Kushina go and check it out. It can also make that child Kushina have more bonds with the village."
