Departure

Chapter 66 Departure

"This meat is truly unique; its nutritional content is almost comparable to that of highly concentrated military rations!"

"Moreover, its vitality is not weak. Even after being frozen for so long, some cell activity can still be observed."

"Although it looks a lot like fish meat, the lifespan of the meat itself is probably much longer than that of normal fish."

"A hundred years, several hundred years, or even a thousand years are all possible."

"I've made them into a more special kind of soldier's ration pill, which is much more effective than the ones commonly found in the ninja world."

Yakushi Nonou pointed to a freezer filled with sea king meat and spoke slowly.

"Is it that amazing?"

Hearing this, Hanako's face was full of curiosity, and her big, watery eyes were filled with anticipation.

Suzuki nodded slightly; Yakushi Nonou was right about the flesh of these sea kings.

These sea kings are known for their long lifespans; many of the super-large sea kings have been alive for eight hundred years, waiting for the birth of their king.

It's quite good that Nono can produce soldier ration pills; these kinds of logistical reserve supplies are quite useful.

Then, Suzuki gestured for Nonou to continue.

"These are the shellfish you sent earlier!"

"I've studied this shellfish for a long time; it's truly incredible!"

"The ninja world actually has such amazing seashells! They look no different from ordinary seashells on the outside, but these shellfish can absorb flames!"

"And it's not just about absorption; it can also store it and release it!"

"There is another type of shellfish that is similar, but it absorbs the wind instead."

"Your description of that type of shellfish as 'wind shellfish' is quite apt!"

As she spoke, the pharmacist, Nonou, wearing a white coat, glanced at Suzuki, her expression filled with even greater surprise and shock:

"These shellfish may resemble ninja tools, but they show absolutely no trace of chakra."

"It looks like a miracle of nature, something inherently wondrous!"

Then, Yakushi Nonou, her face filled with curiosity and doubt, looked at Suzuki, whose expression remained calm even when faced with such a strange shellfish, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

"Suzuki-kun, may I ask where these shellfish come from?"

Upon hearing Nono's question, Suzuki calmly glanced at her and shook his head slightly.

"You just need to do the research."

Hearing Suzuki's reply, Yakushi Nonou was somewhat disappointed, but not surprised.

This kind of shellfish, which almost shattered the worldview of ninjas, is something that no one would casually talk about.

She was already incredibly fortunate to be able to see them with her own eyes, and even more fortunate that Suzuki entrusted these shellfish to her for research.

So she bowed slightly to Suzuki to express her apology for the offense.

Then he continued with the introduction:

"This is a type of shellfish that can absorb flavors."

"This is."

"."

"Wow, that's amazing! Suzuki-chan, Hanako has never even heard of this kind of seashell before. But do I have one of these?"

Hanako, standing next to Suzuki, pulled out a necklace with white seashells hanging from her neck and looked at Suzuki curiously. It was a gift that Suzuki had brought back for her after his trip out of the village last year.

Seeing the curious look on Hanako's face, Suzuki smiled gently.

"Yes, the same thing. Your seashell can record audio."

Hanako looked at the seashell in her hand with curiosity, feeling a little surprised.

She never expected that the white seashell Suzuki gave her would have this function. Before, when Suzuki gave it to her, she always thought it was just an ornament, so she even made it into a necklace and wore it around her neck.

"Hehehe, really? Thanks, Suzuki-chan!"

Hanako happily expressed her gratitude to her friend Suzuki for the unexpected surprise.

Suzuki gently shook his head, then glanced at the clock on the laboratory wall.

It was already almost 9 p.m.

Then, he looked at Hanako and Yakushi Nonou and smiled gently:

It's already nine o'clock.

"Hanako, it's late. Let's go home."

"And Nonou, if you're also going back to the orphanage, I've put some gold in the room to the right of the lab. Feel free to take it, it's no problem."

"Hanako and I will be leaving now."

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, the two finally realized what was happening.

"Huh? Is it already that late?"

"Forehead?"

Hanako felt her head was still a little fuzzy; today, her friend Suzuki had shown her many things she could never have imagined before.

She found it fascinating to look at those amazing objects in the laboratory, and she never imagined that so much time had passed.

Meanwhile, the pharmacist Nono appeared much more mature, though she was somewhat surprised that her benefactor and current boss was suddenly leaving.

But she overheard Suzuki telling her that he had placed gold in a certain room and that she could take it as she pleased.

Nono bowed deeply, her face filled with gratitude.

"Okay, Suzuki-kun, thank you!"

"And thank you on behalf of the children at the orphanage."

"Thanks!"

Suzuki smiled at Yakushi Nonou and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

He no longer had any desire or feeling for gold, after all, he already had more than he could ever use.

His clone has already emptied the golden city of Shandora on the Sky Island, and with his current strength, money is practically indispensable to him.

This money, however, might bring him some more interesting people and helpers in the future.

Since that's the case, what's there to think about?

It's already a good deal if something boring can be exchanged for something interesting.

Looking at Hanako, whose little face was still dazed, Suzuki lifted the hem of her clothes again.

"well?!"

"Not again, Suzuki-chan!"

Feeling her body suddenly lifted, Hanako finally came to her senses and looked up at Suzuki with her big, soft, watery eyes.

"Yes, that'll be faster."

"Didn't you want to buy meatballs?"

Suzuki answered calmly.

"Ah! Meatballs!"

"Hmm, Hanako almost forgot about Hanako's dumplings!"

"Thank you, Suzuki-chan! Let's go buy some dango!"

"Goodbye, Nonou-neechan! Go to sleep early, goodnight!"

Hanako waved goodbye to Yakushi Nonou.

Yakushi Nonou waved goodbye to Hanako warmly, and then bowed to Suzuki.

Suzuki nodded slightly, and his figure quickly disappeared, carrying Hanako.

After the two figures left, Yakushi Nonou arrived at the room.

As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by an incredibly dazzling golden light!

So dazzling that it almost cured her nearsightedness. There were just too many!

Yakushi Nonou could swear that she would never see so much money in her entire life, no, not even in ten lifetimes!

Nono, who was always worried about the children in the orphanage and how to maintain its expenses, finally seemed to relax at this moment.

Even her pretty and beautiful face couldn't help but show a look of amazement and shock:

"Suzuki-kun, you're so rich!"
