'Brilliant work, Kabuto-san. Your research findings will greatly help in our work with tissue reconstruction. '

'Thank you, Itachi-sama. I could have not done it without your support. '

Itachi gave a soft smile to his young apprentice. At least that 's how others called the grey-haired kid. He didn 't object. Teaching the boy medical craft was one of the highlights of his days. Itachi felt like he was finally giving back something instead of destroying.

Over these few years, it became even more obvious that Kabuto had a talent. His mind worked in a different way. A way that recognized a problem and was focused to find a solution for it. It was impressive the ideas the boy would come up with.

The two of them walked down the hospital corridor discussing the findings when Itachi 's alert ears picked up a sound. Not a usual scream or urgent orders by medics ' It was more like a scuffle going on.
