Chapter 140: This Is How a Medical Ninja's Handwriting Looks
Yue Yan took a deep breath.
"First of all, I'm a guy, not a cute girl or a transvestite. Secondly, my handwriting is clearly cursive, the bold and unrestrained style. How could it be as bad as a dog's scratch?"
Hearing this, Mei Terumī was speechless.
"Let's not talk about your gender. Come on, take a look at what this part says?"
Mei Terumī pointed to a mess of scribbles that look like caterpillars squeezed together.
Yue Yan just glanced at it and gave the answer.
"Isn't it 'The mastermind might pretend to be a fool and mislead others with a comical look'?"
Mei Terumī: (???)
I suspect he's lying to me, though, but I don't seem to have any evidence.
Still not quite believing him, Mei Terumī picked up a twig and wrote a passage on the ground imitating Yue Yan's handwriting.
"What about this? Read it out for me again."
In response, Yue Yan just shrugged.
"This person probably has a habit of calling others 'senior'. We need to pay more attention."
"What? Can't you even read such clear writing?" Yue Yan rolled his eyes as he said. "There should be a medical ninja who knows Mystical Palm Technique in your Mist Ninja Village. Show him what I wrote, and he'll definitely understand it."
"No need. There's a medical ninja among those I'm with here who knows Mystical Palm Technique. I'll show it to him later."
"Alright then." Yue Yan waved his hand indifferently. "As long as you find that mastermind, let me know and I'll come to help."
"Why?"
Mei Terumī knew there was no free lunch. Helping the Mist Ninja Village eliminate the mastermind controlling the Mizukage was completely against Konoha's interests. Rather than believing Yue Yan's excuse of helping out of indignation, she preferred to think that Yue Yan had an ulterior motive.
Noticing Mei Terumī's inquisitive look, Yue Yan casually gave a perfunctory answer.
"He owes me money, so I want to catch him."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Okay then."
Since Yue Yan didn't want to say more, Mei Terumī didn't press him. Anyway, it was beneficial to their Mist Ninja Village.
After returning to the group, Mei Terumī found the medical ninja who knew Mystical Palm Technique and showed him what Yue Yan had written. After getting the exact same content as Yue Yan had mentioned, Mei Terumī couldn't help but be a bit skeptical. After all, no matter how she looked at it, those words seemed like they were scribbled by a dog.
"I've only seen such sloppy and rushed handwriting from my teacher. Someone who can write like this must be very skilled in Mystical Palm Technique."
Mei Terumī:?
When I type this question mark here, it's not that I think there's something wrong with me, but that I think there's something wrong with you.
What? Do all your medical ninjas write in such a way?
Listening to the medical ninja's sigh, Mei Terumī twitched the corner of her mouth.
On Yue Yan's side, after seeing that everything was over, he turned to look in Mei Terumī's direction.
"I hope you Mist Ninjas can keep those ninjas with bloodline limits in check. If they come to the Land of Fire to cause more trouble, next time I'll go to the Land of Water to cause trouble myself."
After leaving a harsh warning for the Mist Ninjas to stay in line, Yue Yan led his people away.
After leaving the Land of Water, Zabuza and Haku proposed to part ways.
Yue Yan didn't notice Zabuza, who was still deep in thought about what Mei Terumī had said earlier. He walked up to Zabuza, stood on his tiptoes, put his arm around Zabuza's shoulder, and stuffed a voucher into his hand.
"Here. Keep this. With it, you can get a 20% discount when you buy *Make Out Paradise*. It's a book written by my master, Jiraiya, and Kakashi has been obsessed with it lately. You've got to have it."
Yue Yan still hadn't forgotten to help Haku win Zabuza over. Although *Make Out Paradise* is about heterosexual romance, given Haku's looks and gentle personality, Yue Yan didn't believe Zabuza could resist.
"A book that Kakashi has been obsessed with lately? And it's written by the famous Sannin. Sounds interesting. I'll buy it and give it a read when I have time."
Zabuza raised an eyebrow and decided to buy it when he got back.
Yue Yan grinned and gave Haku a thumbs up.
In response, Haku also smiled and nodded.
On the way back to Konoha, Yue Yan kept looking at Xiaolan, who was walking beside him and still in Mega - evolve state.
"Xiaolan, can you end your Mega - evolve? You're... too tall."
Yue Yan was almost 1.6 meters tall now, but Xiaolan in the Mega - evolve state was almost a head taller than him. Yue Yan had to look up to see Xiaolan, which made him uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Xiaolan grinned, placed a paw on Yue Yan's shoulder, and patted it. Although Xiaolan didn't say anything, in Yue Yan's eyes, it seemed to be saying, "Dude, you can't even reach my height when you stand on your tiptoes."
Just as women are obsessed with their breast size, Yue Yan, as a man, was very sensitive about his height.
If someone else made fun of his height, Yue Yan would break their legs to make them as tall as him. But when it came to Xiaolan, he could only feel frustrated.
Seeing Yue Yan's frustrated face, Xiaolan thought for a while, cancelled the Mega - evolve, and returned to the original state. Even so, Xiaolan was still taller than Yue Yan, but at least the difference was not so obvious.
Behind them, watching Yue Yan and Xiaolan's interaction, Shisui, Itachi, and Hayate Gekkō all tilted their heads. They all felt that something was off, but they couldn't put their fingers on it.
After returning to Konoha and completing the mission, Yue Yan went to the Hyuga Clan's territory.
Neji, Yue Yan's brother - in - law, had just been born, and Hizashi Hyuga had no missions recently, so he was quite idle. When Yue Yan found him, he was sitting there reading a book.
Seeing Yue Yan approaching, Hizashi Hyuga got up with a smile to greet him.
"Yue Yan, I didn't expect you to come here."
After pouring a glass of water for Yue Yan, Hizashi Hyuga started chatting with a smile.
Looking at Yue Yan, Hizashi Hyuga remembered when he first took over Hizashi Hyuga's Squad. In a blink of an eye, Yue Yan had already made a name for himself in the ninja world. He even had the illusion that he was getting old.
"Among the three of you, you're the one who gives me the least trouble."
Hearing Hizashi Hyuga's emotional words, Yue Yan thought for a moment and took out a Scroll sealed with a Byakugan.
"This Byakugan was retrieved when I was on a mission against the Mist Ninjas. Since I missed Neji's birth due to an outside mission, consider this as a gift."
It seems that Dodai from the Cloud Ninjas also has a Byakugan. Yue Yan had already planned that, given his relationship with Minato Namikaze, Naruto would definitely call him uncle. When Naruto married Hinata, he would present Dodai's Byakugan as a betrothal gift.
"Korega..."
When Hizashi Hyuga saw the Byakugan that had been lost outside, he was extremely shocked. After all, the Hyuga clan always attached great importance to the Byakugan; otherwise, there wouldn't be the Cursed Seal of the Cage Bird. Retrieving this Byakugan was also quite important for the Hyuga clan.
"Thank you so much, Yue Yan."
Seeing Hizashi Hyuga's excited look, Yue Yan waved his hand with a smile.
"We're teacher and student. It's just a piece of cake."
"Alright, stay for dinner later. I'll ask your teacher's wife to prepare more dishes."
