[Hokage] Thank you for loving me

When Jing Yin arrived at the children's psychological consultation room, the children who came to the treatment room during the day and the guardians' parents had all left, and only two psychologists were still working overtime in the innermost room of the consultation room.It was a large ward with two beds, two sofas and a large screen. The child named Xiao Xing was lying on one of the beds at this time, accompanied by two doctors, rising and falling. With a flushed little face, he was breathing convulsively and raving because of the high fever.

Jing Yin came to the hospital bed, rolled up his sleeves and asked the nursing doctor, "What's the child's temperature now?"

"5 degrees." A female doctor with a ponytail replied immediately, "The result was measured [-] minutes ago."

Jing Yin looked at the thin boy about seven years old in front of him, with a trace of pain and pity in his eyes, and then a wave of blue chakra condensed in his hand.The icy cold air hit the face, making Iwasaki and the others who stood aside couldn't help shivering.

She put her hands on Xiaoxing's forehead first, and after about 30 seconds of stillness, she moved down to the wrists of her left and right hands. After a moment of stillness, she applied ice to the calves of her two feet for a while.Xiao Xing's complexion gradually improved from the moment the silent chakra touched his body, and when she retracted her hands, the flush on his cheeks had completely faded away, and his breathing became smoother.Jingyin turned around and poured a glass of cold water, helped Xiaoxing up, and sat in his arms. After taking a few sips in a daze, he finally closed his eyes, stopped the raving in his mouth, and fell asleep quietly.

"There is no sign of infection in his body. The high fever is caused by psychological reasons, so he can only reduce the temperature physically, and there is no need for antipyretics and injections." Jing Yin gently placed Xiao Xingping on the hospital bed, He whispered to the three people standing behind him: "If his body temperature rises again later, you should use ice packs first, and then go to the hospital to find the doctor on duty." She stood up and put the cup back to its original place , and then asked: "How long has this child been treated here? Why did he suddenly have such a severe fever?"

"Xiao Xing came to the psychological consultation room and received formal treatment for only three months." Iwasaki replied in a low voice for fear of disturbing the sleep of the child on the bed, and at the same time said to Mute, "Please move to the outer hall to talk." gesture:

"He is a child who has been greatly affected by the war. After his father died in the last ninja war, he suffered from social phobia. Once he goes out and contacts with strangers, Xiao Xing will be anxious, irritable and even muscle twitching. So for the first two years, he almost stayed at home and didn't go out very much. Later, with his brother's persuasion and company, he was gradually willing to come to us for treatment."

Iwasaki came to the room next to the ward with Shizune, and carefully closed the glass door behind him.He stood in front of the door, watching Xiaoxing's sleeping face through the glass, and lovingly introduced Jingyin:

"In the early stage of the treatment, Xiao Xing was very cooperative, so his recovery was much smoother than expected. A few days ago, he suddenly said that he wanted to go to the ninja school to go to school with everyone. We felt that it was appropriate to get in touch with more people. It was also a benign stimulus to his recovery, so he agreed. However, yesterday during the day, he did not know what kind of stimulus he received at school, and suddenly fell ill again. After returning home, Xiaoxing couldn't fall asleep all night. His brother We rushed him to our consulting room early in the morning. Before we had time to say a few words to him, he started crying and refused to say a word or accept our comfort. In the afternoon, Xiaoxing's body temperature gradually increased, we tried all kinds of methods to no avail, after tossing for two hours, we had to decide to go to Konoha Hospital to ask you for help."

After listening to Iwasaki's introduction to Xiaoxing's treatment experience, Shizune sat on the sofa, meditated for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Has he had a fever before?"

"No." Iwasaki shook his head, "As I mentioned just now, Xiaoxing was very cooperative in the early stage of treatment, and the therapeutic dialogue with him was very smooth, and there was no outbreak during the treatment. So, this time he made a fuss. It was so powerful that we were all taken aback.”

"Will other children suffer from physical discomfort due to psychological barriers like this during treatment?"

"Occasionally, but almost all of them happen in the early stage of treatment." Iwasaki pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, was silent for a while, and said again with some embarrassment: "Actually, in the early stage of children's treatment, the optimal plan Psychological intervention and drug intervention should be carried out at the same time; then, as the recovery progresses, the dosage of the drug will be gradually reduced; simply relying on talking and encouraging children to fight against psychological barriers is still too reluctant."

"..."

Shizune knows why Iwasaki is so embarrassed to say these words——When the junior sister Haruno Sakura created the children's psychological consultation room, she clearly stated that the purpose of the consultation room is to use "talk" to guide children with psychological trauma They came out of the shadows independently.Both Sakura and Tsunade opposed the drug treatment of children with the shadow of war as before; once they had any psychological abnormalities, they took medicine to calm their emotions.Sakura believes that any nerve-healing drugs will make people dependent. What the adults in Konoha should really do is to use dialogue to continuously guide those poor children and encourage them not to rely on any nerve-soothing drugs. Rely on your own strength, adjust your mentality, and overcome the psychological barriers brought about by war.Therefore, there are only some emergency sleeping pills in the children's psychological consultation room, and there are no psychotherapeutic drugs for medium and long-term treatment.

However, what Iwasaki said just now is very reasonable. In the early stage of treatment, when the children have not fully adapted to the "communication" therapy, some nerve-soothing drugs should be introduced appropriately. For some children who are in poor health and are easily affected by emotions Words are necessary.For example, Xiao Xing, in today's situation where the cause of the high fever is unknown, if he can take some soothing medicine, he will not be crying so painfully.

"Master Shizune, did my words embarrass you? I'm really sorry." After Iwasaki made the suggestion, he found that the other party was lost in thought, and he realized that Shizune's master Tsunade and junior sister Haruno Sakura are both firm drugs The opposition, come to think of it, Jing Yin also supports their views. "Just pretend I didn't say anything just now. It's getting late, thank you for your emergency treatment. Xiao Xing will stay here tonight and be taken care of by us. You should go back and rest early."

With a little annoyance, Iwasaki sent Shizune to the door, and when he was about to say goodbye to her, he heard her suddenly say: "I will seriously consider what you said just now, and pass it on to Master and the others."

"Ah?" Unexpectedly, the suggestion would be adopted, Iwasaki excitedly helped the frame several times, "I am really grateful to Shizune-sama, this way, sudden physical discomfort like Xiaoxing's is much easier to control. "

Jing Yin nodded in agreement and said, "Then, tomorrow morning, I will come back to see how the child is doing."

"Okay, you bother."

Amid Iwasaki's farewell sound, Shizune turned and walked into the dense night.Although she gradually moved away from the psychological consultation room, Xiao Xing's painful convulsion just now appeared more and more clearly in her mind.How many children are there in the village who have been tortured by the shadow of war?They are still so young, telling them to be strong and overcome their psychological barriers with their own strength, isn't it a bit too much for them?

Jing Yin thought of her past self, wasn't she once such a poor child?Relatives passed away one by one, and in the memory of childhood, there is only endless pain and loneliness.If Tsunade hadn't appeared, the weak self back then would have passed away long ago; even if he survived by luck, he might not be able to live like he is now.Therefore, she wants to help those children, and does not want any child to repeat her helpless and sad pain; in other words, she is more eager than anyone else to help those children eliminate all psychological barriers .

Drugs that calm the nerves...?Although it has been strictly prohibited by Master Tsunade, there still seems to be a detailed recipe table in the reference room of Konoha Hospital... Anyway, the night is still long, so it's okay to study it a little...

After making up his mind, Jing Yin came to the fork in the road leading to his home or Konoha Hospital, and chose the latter without hesitation.

Early the next morning, I came to Jingyin in the children's psychological consultation room again as promised. Before I could enter the room, I heard Xiaoxing's mournful cry not far from the door, accompanied by heavy sobs, like Like crying and fainting at any time.

"Master Jingyin, you're here so early?" Iwasaki was frantically shoving the toys in his hands to Xiaoxing one by one, trying to divert his attention, while the female doctor with the ponytail from yesterday was squatting On the side, from time to time wiped away the tears on Xiaoxing's face.

"Thanks to your treatment last night, he slept well all night, and he didn't have a fever again." Finally, a puppet in the shape of a pig attracted Xiaoxing's attention, and his crying was slightly interrupted After a while, Iwasaki hurriedly said to Shizune: "But, as you can see, he woke up early in the morning and started crying again. So far, he hasn't said a word to us."

Looking at Xiao Xing who had been crying so badly for lack of oxygen and blushing, Jing Yin felt as if her heart had been severely grabbed.She held the tube of medicine in her bag, and finally decided to squat down and hug him up.

"Please leave me alone with him for a while, I have something to say to him."

Shizune said so, and carried Xiaoxing into the innermost ward.She closed the door behind her, and slowly took out a tube of potion from her bag—it was the calming potion she prepared last night according to the formula of forbidden medicine.

"It doesn't matter if you are scolded by the master, as long as you can quickly relieve the poor child in front of you from the pain, it doesn't matter if you take this risk..."

She held Xiao Xing in her arms, and looked at him tenderly who was still crying.Soon, the illusion in the black pupils calmed him down.

"Xiao Xing, you look into Auntie's eyes and drink this, okay?"

After receiving the medicine from Jingyin, Xiaoxing raised her head obediently and drank it, and then continued to look into her eyes obediently. For a moment, it seemed that all the sadness and fear associated with the memory had fallen into those eyes, What is left is only the memories themselves, without any emotional color, just quietly imprinted in a corner of my mind...

When Xiao Ying came to visit Xiao Xing in the consulting room before going to work in the hospital, she found her senior sister Jing Yin walking out of the gate.

"Senior Sister Jingyin? Are you here?"

"Well, let me take a look at Xiaoxing's situation..."

Xiao Ying cast a grateful look at her and said, "Thank you for treating him for me yesterday. How is the child, is he better today?"

"It's much better, and my mood has stabilized a lot." Jing Yin's eyes flickered a little, and she tentatively suggested to Sakura: "However, if he relapses again, do you want to give him some tranquilizer...?"

"No need." Sakura immediately rebuffed, "That child is quite strong, and he will definitely be able to overcome those pains with his own strength."

"...Oh." Seeing that the junior sister really can't accept the medicine on the children, Jing Yin thinks it's better to temporarily conceal the fact that she prepared the medicine for Xiaoxing.If Xiaoxing recovers very well after taking the medicine, then wait until the next time you have a private meal with her, and then slowly persuade her.

"By the way, Senior Sister, you invited me to dinner yesterday, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Yes." Shizune glanced at the time, and it was time to go to Hokage's office, "But it's not urgent. I should go, I'll meet you another day."

"Okay." Sakura couldn't wait to visit the children in the consultation room, she waved to Jingyin, and walked briskly into the door of the consultation room.

"Sakura also likes children very much..." Looking at the back of her junior sister, Shizune secretly sighed in her heart: "Although there are different ideas on the matter of medication, we hope that the children will recover quickly. Same. Maybe she will agree with my approach."

With a bunch of things she wanted to say to Sakura, Shizune absently pushed open the door of Hokage's office, and was surprised to find that Kakashi was already sitting at the desk.

"Master Hokage, didn't you get lost on the road of life today?" Shizune put down the medical bag on her shoulder and asked jokingly.

"...even if it's me, there will be times when I go to work on time."

"'Punctuality' is a rather rare quality for you."

Kakashi scratched his hair in annoyance, as if he didn't hear Shizune's taunting, sighed, and said to her in a low mood: "I came early this morning and talked to the daimyo of Fire Nation. Guess, What is the important thing that the adult ordered me to do?"

"……do not know."

"He asked me to recall Sasuke back to Konoha."

"Huh?" It seems that there is one more topic that can be discussed when eating with Sakura. "Why did he suddenly make such a request?"

"It seems that in the daimyo meeting a few days ago, I met the daimyo of the rainbow country and heard him mention Sasuke's name." Kakashi was looking for the remaining blank scroll on the table, ready to start writing to Sasuke . "The Fukuyama clan of the Rainbow Country said that thanks to Sasuke's help, they were able to successfully resolve the plot of the usurper, and also reached a consensus in the country to establish a ninja village in the Rainbow Country."

"This sounds like a good thing..." Shizune murmured puzzled.

"However, that lord doesn't want the Nation of Rainbow to have a ninja army. After all, the Nation of Rainbow is a big country of commerce. If you rely on the ninja army of Muye Village for a long time, you will always hand in tribute and gifts to the Nation of Fire." Although I feel The daimyo of his own country is very narrow-minded, but with Kakashi's current position as Hokage, he can't express his true opinion clearly, and can only objectively analyze the cause of the matter to Shizune.

"Therefore, the daimyo believes that Sasuke's meddling in the mission of the Rainbow Kingdom has brought him a great loss in diplomacy. In addition, not long ago, the leader of the dark thunder group burned and killed everywhere under the name of Sasuke's disciple. Looting the village; and earlier, someone pretending to be Sasuke attacked Daimyo who was taking a hot spring... and so on, all these incidents made him feel that Sasuke was a huge potential threat, and he could not be allowed to continue wandering outside, and he must immediately He was recalled to the village and put under surveillance."

"Well... so, that adult's worry is quite well-founded." Shizune recalled a series of major events that happened in the past six months, and indeed they were more or less related to Sasuke.It seems that even if he doesn't show up easily, various forces will take the initiative to attack and start operations around him. Perhaps this is the cursed fate of the Uchiha clan.

"Hey, I have repeatedly assured that lord that Sasuke will never cause trouble outside, but will do his best to guard the village." Kakashi spread his hands and shook his head helplessly: "But lord Daimyo can't listen He went in and said that if I disobeyed Sasuke again, at the budget review meeting at the end of the year, he would consider cutting some of Konoha’s military expenses.”

Jing Yin listened, and asked worriedly: "Then did you promise him later?"

"...Of course I can only compromise." Seeing Shizune's relieved expression, Kakashi smiled bitterly: "In short, call Sasuke back to the village for a few months, and wait for Daimyo to see him guarding Konoha. After my sincerity, I will definitely agree to him to travel again."

"... But I think it doesn't matter whether others agree with what Sasuke wants to do..."

Kakashi stretched his limbs, leaned on the office chair, and nodded in agreement with Shizune's words.However, even though he knew that Sasuke didn't like to be manipulated by others, he agreed to the Daimyo of the Fire Country, but he still had to bite the bullet and call Sasuke back. This is the trouble of being Hokage.

"Persuade Sasuke...?" He stared at the blank scroll unfolded in front of him, and said to himself with some worry: "This is really... a more difficult task than dealing with daimyo..."
