Aoto was back in his place and as expected John and Arya were wide awake while Hot Pie was almost dozing off while sitting. Poor thing! Sleep was too overwhelming for him to remain awake. Even with their swords in hand, John and Arya stood there.

"I told you swordsmanship won't be able to safeguard you." Aoto admonished John and Arya, but their ears were closed. Aoto woke Hot Pie up, and she was relieved that everything was alright.

He then went on to have a restful sleep. Others did the same after him. Aoto was mentally drained and needed a strong sleep.

The next day.

Shikuro arrived very early. Aoto had difficulty seeing his face the previous evening, so this time he had a clear view of him. He wore a black overcoat that was covered by the traditional Konoha jonin uniform, and he had black, somewhat spiked hair. And as his son, Shikuro also had goggles on his eyes that also covering half f his face. He had a very pronounced jawline, from whatever part of his face was visible.

As he opened the bakery, Aoto remarked, "You are quite early."

"I didn't get the timings from you. I am sorry." stated Shikuro.

"Alright get to work. Help Hot Pie and John. From now you will go to the school and sell the things that we sell there. I suppose you know of what John is selling." Asked Aoto. Shikuro gave a nod. Aoto's past had been thoroughly investigated, so they were aware of what he was discussing.

Hearing that, John felt relieved. For him, going close to the school was quite difficult. He had never experienced such convenience in his life, and managing the children was a constant challenge. Shikuro was glad to assist Aoto with his labor and accept such a mundane task.

He would have ample time to care for his newborn son and be with him.

Since Danzo had appeared at Aoto's door, two more days had passed. There was also another visitor this evening. Aoto didn't anticipate someone like him to appear.

The Supervisor of Konoha Hospital.

Aoto and Shikuro were at the time busy cleaning up the bakery. Shikuro quickly became a part of the group, including Aoto. Despite the fact that it had only been two days, he was already having fun at work. There was nothing wrong with leading a straightforward life of hard work and child care. Surprisingly, neither the roots nor his former coworkers showed up at his door.

It seemed like they got really scared.

Shikuro stiffened at the sight of the Supervisor and went into full alert mode right away. He kept a kunai buried and gently pulled it out of his little back. The reason why he did so was because it was him who had passed on the information to the Supervisor about rejecting the book of Aoto.

Therefore, his return indicated that he had been approached by someone else.

"Why are you here?" Shikuro activated full defense mode. Aoto found it quite strange because the system had earlier notified him that the Supervisor of Konoha had no ulterior motives in visiting; otherwise, all the missiles would have been pointing at him by this time.

"You are.. " The Supervisor was taken aback to see a jonin/chunin ninja standing and performing bakery-related duties. He only knew of normal workers like John and Hot Pie, when did a jonin/chunin ninja join the group. This was bad. He didn't recognize the jonin because when Shikuro went to pass on the order of Danzo he was wearing a mask to hide himself.

"Shikuro, calm down." Aoto observed the animosity. Shikuro's expression alternated between surprise and reverence as he regarded Aoto. He knew how easy Aoto could take them down, and a medical ninja like the Supervisor shouldn't be too difficult to defeat. He still didn't understand what jutsu he was using to make a fool out of them.

And that was why Shikuro was a little bit of fan of Aoto. He was always engaged in his routine menial task, but he was still so strong that they couldn't even comprehend him.

"Why are you here?" Aoto questioned the Supervisor without seeing Shikuro's somewhat altered demeanor. Of course, the googles prevented Aoto from seeing his reverence eyes.

"I.. I came here to tell sorry.. Your books can be published and be distributed." stated the Supervisor. He had no idea that he would go visit Aoto's house and all but beg for pardon. Danzo had personally arrived the previous evening and instructed him to start listening to Aoto's advice.

He shivered at this. He could tell by Danzo's demeanor that Aoto had done something to him that would have been traumatic for an elderly guy. He had spent his entire life as a medical ninja, so he was able to recognize the symptoms of trauma.

He naturally wanted to know why this was the case because he was intrigued. Danzo, though, only offered him one piece of advice.

"Don't ever mess with Aoto Yamazaki."

He was a former medical ninja for the Roots, thus he was familiar with the system and how Danzo dominated the Roots with iron chains in his hands. Danzo was also terrified of a young man who didn't even go to the Academy. Aoto was undoubtedly experiencing some sort of problem.

"Hmm.. I have changed my mind." Added Aoto. The Supervisor glanced beseechingly at Aoto while his feet shook. He had no idea what Aoto was, but he wished for the best.

"I am willing to hear the words of you." stated the Supervisor.

"Open a medical school with a focus on those who had no prior knowledge of ninjas and teach my rewritten book there. The brightest minds of the community would be used to select the students who could enroll in the institution."

"Medical school for normal people?" The Supervisor was surprised by this.

"Yes. I have talked with Hokage about it long back. I will provide the books with all the information and you will get the teachers to teach new students about medical procedures ."
