Chapter 226 Matchup
Chapter 226 Matchup
As soon as she entered the house, Mo Shuang saw a child paralyzed in bed. As for ghosts or anything like that, she didn't see a thing.
"This is so boring, let's go." After scanning the area again, Mo Shuang decided to leave.
Before leaving, she asked one last question, "Child, where are your parents?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Mo Shuang guessed that the person was an orphan, as such things were commonplace.
"Do you want to leave here?" she asked again.
The little boy still didn't respond, but Mo Shuang noticed the hope in his eyes.
"It just so happens that her family is short of someone to do housework."
Mo Shuang pulled back the blanket covering him and scooped him up in her arms. "Come home with me!"
"You...you don't mind that I'm paralyzed?" the little boy suddenly asked.
"You can talk? I thought you were mute!"
"I'm sorry, I just..." The little boy lowered his head, looking somewhat frightened.
"Don't overthink it. There's a reason I brought you home. You need to do housework for me; you can't just freeload," Mo Shuang said very seriously.
"I can't do housework, take me back!" The little boy scratched his leg, his expression full of dejection. "I'm going to be abandoned again!"
"I'm a medical ninja, a really, really good one!" Mo Shuang said boastfully.
"By the way, do you have a name?" she asked.
The little boy didn't hide anything and said, "My name is Ranmaru!"
"Ah!" Mo Shuang was genuinely surprised, but quickly regained her composure.
When she got home, she settled Ranmaru in a room downstairs.
Mo Shuang's house is a two-story building. Although it is not very big, it looks very cozy, which is completely inconsistent with her appearance.
"Lie down for a while, I'll go out and buy you something!" Mo Shuang said, then turned and left the house.
However, she didn't expect to run into Mei Terumi on the street. She had broken Yagura's genjutsu ahead of time. She wondered if this would affect Mei Terumi's succession as the Fifth Mizukage.
Feeling slightly apologetic, Mo Shuang treated her to a meal.
“She remembers that Mei Terumi wanted to get married in the Tsukuyomi world, so she could try to make amends in that direction.”
"Meimei, do you have someone you like?" As soon as Mo Shuang asked this, Mei Mei was choked and quickly picked up the water in front of her and took a sip.
“I think Hozuki Mangetsu and you are a good match,” Mo Shuang said again, her words full of surprise.
"Cough cough..."
"Mo Shuang, what kind of matchmaking are you doing!" Terumi Mei said irritably after recovering.
"Oh, so you have someone you like?" Mo Shuang looked at her with certainty.
Upon hearing this, a faint blush rose on Mei Terumi's face.
Mo Shuang suddenly remembered something else: Terumi Mei had missed her wedding date, which was why she hadn't gotten married yet, so she must have a boyfriend now.
If he hadn't become the Mizukage, he probably wouldn't have missed his wedding.
Hozuki Mangetsu did not die as in the original story, so the chances of Terumi Mei becoming the Mizukage are not very high.
After making plans to have dinner with Terumi Mei, Mo Shuang didn't forget that there was now a little child in the house, so she bought a lot of things that the child liked to eat, wear, and use.
Upon hearing the door open, Ranmaru immediately opened his eyes.
Mo Shuang came to the bedside and immediately used medical ninjutsu to heal his leg.
"You can walk now!"
"These are clothes. Pick one and change into it before you come out to eat."
She gave a few instructions, then left the room and closed the door behind her.
Ranmaru still felt like he was dreaming. He pinched himself hard, and the pain made him realize that it was not a dream, but real.
"Is it not to your liking?" Mo Shuang asked when he didn't touch his chopsticks.
Ranmaru shook his head. "No, it's just that there are too many kinds, and I don't know what to choose to eat."
"That's easy. Just try them all and you'll know what you like to eat," Mo Shuang suggested, before continuing with what she was doing.
After Lanwan finished eating, he walked to Moshuang's side and watched her quietly.
"Want to learn medical ninjutsu?"
She remembered that Ranmaru's eyes had the same X-ray vision as the Byakugan, making him quite suitable to be a medical ninja.
Although the Fourth Mizukage has returned to normal, it won't be so easy to change the current situation in Kirigakure. Sending Ranmaru to the Ninja Academy is not something she's considering for the time being.
"Is it okay?" Ranmaru asked nervously, clutching the hem of his clothes.
“Of course… that’s fine.” Mo Shuang deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
"By the way, from now on, call me older sister." She walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book, and said calmly, "Ranmaru, if you want to learn medical ninjutsu, you have to read books first."
"Hey...this is a very basic book on human anatomy. Take a look at it first."
Ranmaru took the book and sat down in the chair in front of the desk, focusing intently on reading it.
Mo Shuang raised an eyebrow. "That's quite convenient."
However, she had not forgotten why she brought him back.
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lanwan is now able to handle all the housework, which makes Moshuang very pleased.
She has a good talent for cooking and is well worth nurturing.
Mo Shuang finally embarked on her first mission in Wuyin Village.
"How could a mere medical ninja like her be assigned a mission?"
"Could it be Hozuki Mangetsu who did this?" she thought maliciously.
After telling Ranmaru, she arrived at the agreed-upon place.
Mo Shuang was startled when she saw her teammates from the same mission.
"I really don't understand why she got involved in this mission!"
This was Kisame's last mission after leaving Kirigakure, and it's also the only memorable scene in the story where a female ninja treats him kindly.
Thinking about this, Mo Shuang instantly felt that doing this task was quite good; she liked it.
The smile hidden deep in Mo Shuang's eyes puzzled Kisame.
"Let's go!"
He left first, and the other seven, including Mo Shuang, followed.
Mo Shuang's role in this team is to heal people; she doesn't need to worry about anything else, which is quite comfortable for her.
"The iconic scene is about to begin!" Mo Shuang leaned against the tree, quietly looking down. She had already said she wouldn't eat dinner that night, which was incredibly clever of her.
"Mr. Hoshigaki, please sit down and have a meal with us!" Keisa walked up to Kisame and invited him.
Kisame looked up at Keisa and said, "Please don't... try to get close to me."
At this moment, a ninja from the Cipher Department who was standing around the food spoke up, "Kisa, ignore him, he said so himself."
Immediately afterward, someone chimed in, "They simply look down on us bookish code-breaking departments."
Xi Sha was very dissatisfied with what they said and spoke up in defense, "Everyone is doing the same task, so deployment doesn't matter at all."
Immediately, a fat ninja eating retorted, "Those who rely on intellect and those who rely on brute force for protection probably wouldn't have anything in common..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Kisame stood up and walked over to the group of people.
The obese ninja, his face showing fear, asked, "What...what are you going to do..."
Kisame glanced at them, his expression grave, and said, "Let's depart immediately..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Shuang jumped down after watching the play.
She was very pleased to finally encounter a plot point that matched perfectly.
