Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Surfacing with one fifth chakra reserve, I immediately bolted to Konoha Hospital ruins. Precisely there, at the surviving left wing, my Byakugan spotted shinobi organizing a tent lazaret. Also, while moving through the forest, met a patrol of two old Aburame—Daiki and Arata, and a thirteen-year-old girl—Ito Uchiha. Quickly, clearly, to the point, reported the grim situation in northern lab, plus en route learned where and how they're hauling severe wounded and strategic supplies. With sincere sympathy expression (scroll for corpses), gave the Uchiha her clansman's body. Explained that Ikaru Uchiha's corpse head was unharmed. And if she's not a proud fool... I mean daughter of Indra Otsutsuki (fifty-fifty here) and hurries, she can really help her possible wounded—"patients of cursed Uchiha blood."

Finished pleasantries and learned of the self-proclaimed command of the old monkey, and that Minato led Kyuubi beyond village borders, I decided to pretend heading to Hokage Tower. However! Just in case, ran straight through our clan territory. And... wasn't wrong!

Ran into Hiashi radiating anger and Byakugan in all directions almost immediately. Our perpetually serious boss clearly spotted my sabotage against the old macaque, moreover right as I crossed Konoha walls. He issued (looking through me like an X-ray machine) a grim order to clan hospital to extinguish "Nine-Tails embers." I absorbed this order with serious face and, pleased with the arrangement, went to do good to the world with iryōninjutsu.
