War has the pain of war, but we still have to live day by day.
Among the villagers who became anxious and restless again, Shiraishi was the one with the calmest mood.
Because of the coming of the war, the medical instructor of the first medical ninja experimental class once again transformed into the unknown ANBU jounin he was before.
At the beginning of the war when Sunagakure attacked the Land of Fire, Tsunade had already gone to the front line to coordinate with a group of Konoha ninjas to fight against Sunagakure. Her younger brother Naoki also went to join the war early. I hope he will be safe and sound.
War is no laughing matter.
A few months after the war began, in July of that year, it was summer, and the breeze was mixed with a touch of sultry heat.
Shiraishi has successfully entered the fifth grade. He is practicing Ninjutsu and Taijutsu and researching natural energy. Everything is going on very regularly.
The first batch of drugs developed using natural energy were finally developed by Shiraishi after several months of unremitting efforts and a large investment of funds.
This is a lavender-colored pill, about the size of a thumb. It contains a lot of neutralized medicinal materials, and most importantly, natural energy is incorporated into it, which has doubled the value and effect of this medicine.
Shiraishi's research has long shown that natural energy is a kind of violent and special energy with great vitality.
If there are no other substances to neutralize it and it is directly ingested into the body, it will most likely cause death immediately.
Unless they are the kind of people who are born with an affinity for natural energy, Shiraishi has not seen humans with this special physique so far, and even whether they exist is unknown.
The effect of this new drug can improve Shiraishi's body's comprehensive abilities, including the body's self-healing and immune abilities. It will also have a comprehensive increase in strength and reaction nerves, including the ability to resist blows.
This new drug has minimal side effects, so you only need to take one tablet a day for more than a month before the drug's effects will slowly show up in the person taking it.
The saturation of drug effect depends on each person's physique and processing system capacity. Some people can reach saturation after taking it for seven or eight months. If they continue to take it, not only will they not be able to improve their physical ability, but they will also cause major harm to the body.
Some people can take it for more than ten months before the body rejects it.
Based on the report generated after self-examination, Shiraishi determined that the saturation time of taking this drug was eleven months.
Once the eleven month condition is met, the medication must be discontinued.
The saturation of colored glaze is between eleven and twelve months. To be more conservative, Shiraishi set the time at eleven and a half months.
After taking this medicine, after about six or seven months, Ruri will no longer feel tired and heavy even if she keeps her Sharingan open for a long time.
Shiraishi also plans to find a time to deliver this new medicine to Ayane and let her take it. The war is imminent. The more prepared you are, the higher your chance of survival will be.

Ayane is in the hospital at this time.
While practicing, she deliberately sprained her leg and had to rest in the hospital for about four days.
Because Shiraishi gave her many important tasks that could only be completed in the hospital, she could only use this method to enter the hospital for recuperation.
For example--
When a pregnant woman gives birth to a baby, is the chakra in the baby's body produced by itself or is it flowing from the mother's body?
Or, whether chakra is produced when the embryo is formed.
There are countless strange questions like this.
This kind of observation task also made Ayane feel very ashamed.
Although there are many pregnant women in Konoha who are expecting to give birth, and there is no shortage of material for observation, but...
How can you arrange such perverted tasks for girls?
Because the Byakugan has the functions of perspective, far-sightedness and insight, only Ayane can handle this task.
Ayane also knew this, but still wanted to complain about Shiraishi's research direction.
Are all medical ninjas this perverted?
It's not just the issue of pregnant women giving birth, but also more strange observation tasks. Ayane is asked to write a documentary report and give it to him, saying that it will be of great use to his research.
Ayane wondered if Shiraishi wanted to transfer to gynecology research.
What a big pervert.
On the third day of Ayane's hospitalization, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Shiraishi walked in carrying a basket of fruits.
"Ayane-san, I'm here to visit you. These fruits are a kind gift from my classmates."
Ayane exhaled and said:
"Don't worry, there's no one watching around, so there's no need to be so secretive."
"Um, Ayane-san, why can't I understand what you are talking about? I'm just here to express my condolences on behalf of my classmates..."
"Do you want me to burn those observation reports?"
"Please hold your hand high."
Shiraishi then stopped pretending to be stupid.
He took the scroll on which the observation report was written from Ayane and put it in his ninja bag.
After Shiraishi placed the fruit beside Ayane's bed, he took out a palm-sized medicine bag from his arms and handed it to Ayane.
"This is?"
"This is a new medicine that I developed to enhance physical fitness after extracting natural energy and neutralizing it with other medicinal materials. Remember to take it on time after lunch every day. This is a month's supply, and I will take the rest every month. I’ll give it to you on time and just keep taking it for eleven months.”
Shiraishi knows Ayane's body very well, so it is easy to conclude that Ayane's saturation level is eleven months, which is the same as his own.
"I always think the color is suspicious."
"That's all about appearance. Isn't the point of the drug efficacy? It doesn't really matter what it looks like. Compared to this, is there anything noteworthy recently?"
"No, as you asked, I live a stable life in the family."
Ayane recalled her life in the family and reported to Shiraishi.
"That's good. I have made some judgments about the curse seal of the caged bird, but I cannot confirm the accuracy of these inferences. Can you get the information about the caged bird?"
"You're overestimating me, Mr. Shiraishi. If I come into contact with that level of secrets, I'm more likely to be dealt with. That kind of information is not accessible to the branch family."
Ayane said in a helpless tone.
Shiraishi was not disappointed. He could expect this kind of thing, but he still took a just-in-case attitude.
"It seems I have to figure it out on my own. I won't bother you anymore. If I stay here with you for a long time, problems can easily arise."
Ayane nodded and watched Shiraishi leave the ward where he was.

The rope tree died, and the news came very suddenly.
It was as if people who were chatting and laughing together yesterday heard the news of his death early the next morning, which was so overwhelming.
It is said that he was eager to perform meritorious service, but as a result, he did not follow the command of his teacher Orochimaru during the encounter, and recklessly fell into the enemy's trap. He was eventually seriously injured and died after rescue efforts failed.
When Shiraishi heard the news, he was also stunned on the spot.
Thinking that the Senju clan boy with a confident and cheerful smile died suddenly at such a young age, Shiraishi felt a pity in his heart.
In the face of war, even the blood of the first Hokage has no meaning.
In a place like a battlefield, everyone must be prepared to die.
That has nothing to do with the ninja's identity or bloodline.
The enemy will not show mercy to him just because he is the grandson of the First Hokage.
"Tsunade-sensei must be very sad..."
Although I really wanted to visit Tsunade and comfort her, I couldn't do that now that I was in Konoha Village.
Even a ninja like Senju Nawaki died worthless. What could he, a commoner, change?
Human beings are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Before your own safety is guaranteed, extending a helping hand to others will only make yourself more embarrassed.
The meaning of the word rescue is only for the strong, and the weak can only pity themselves.
When Nasuki died, Konoha would not hold a grand funeral for him.
Now everyone is racing against time to fight with the enemy and drive the enemy out of the country. Life and death have long been ignored, and there is no time to mourn for a dead person.
Even if he is the grandson of the First Hokage.
Naoki is a ninja, whether he has this awareness or not is irrelevant.
This is the war of ninjas.
Shiraishi understands more and more the ruthlessness of war.
In his previous life, he lived in a relatively peaceful era, far away from the flames of war.
In the past few years in Konoha, he had not personally witnessed what war was like, but he understood one thing deeply.
Life is not worth being happy about.
Death is not worth mourning.
Being born in troubled times is the greatest misfortune.
