Legacy [ Naruto Reader-Insert ]

011350. Leader of the Intel Black Ops Squad. Cipher 34 to Cipher 41 [Classified]

They told me that it was poison. And they couldn't figure out how to neutralize it. None of Konoha's specialists know how. For a village that prided itself on being the best at medical ninjutsu, they're unable to fix you? What a joke. I'm praying that they'd make it in time.

Just so you know, I tortured that poor fucker in Interrogation after we got the intel we needed from him. I counted the hours he stayed alive for. Eight. It was eight, before he died bleeding out. I doubt you want to read what I did to him when you wake up. I love you. I love you. I love you.

PS. Our superiors up in the department are deploying us on a mission. Again? So soon? You're not even in the clear yet. What are they thinking?

Cipher 41

[The last note we found on 011296's memorial plaque]

I'm sorry. I couldn't make it to your funeral. Aoi and Aika are going to be with you now. You've done well in service of Konoha. May your soul burn forever in the Eternal Flame.

PS. That necklace you gave me? I'll treasure it forever.

Doctor-in-Charge [1317]
We didn't have to go through his belongings like this. What does any of this have to do with the psychological well-being of the patient?

Head Doctor [1317]
Basic protocol. I know you haven't been in Konoha long, but this is how we do things here. Now we have proof that he isn't a traitor to our village. So back to the matter at hand. What do the rest of you think? Can he still continue being in active duty?

Doctor-in-Charge [1318]
He has severe PTSD and, like on the mission debriefing transcript, intentionally put himself between my daughter and the projectile. He's a Nara for goodness sake. He could have used his shadows or something to push the threat aside! Do you always let shinobi with severe PTSD service?

Head Doctor [1319]
I'd appreciate it if you don't talk to me like that. Please lower your tone. That is a concern, but he clearly prioritized the safety of his comrades and completed the mission. I know you're not from around here and didn't get basic shinobi education, but the basic Shinobi Code of Conduct states that shinobi are mere tools for their village and country. If he can continue serving, why not? Shinobi must always put their personal interests aside for their village.

Doctor-in-Charge [1320]
We are doctors, first and foremost. Our people's health, physical or otherwise is more important than-

Head Doctor [1320]
No. We are shinobi. First and foremost.

Doctor-in-Charge [1320]
You may be, but I am no-

Chief Medical Officer [1321]
I've read your report [REDACTED]. Why didn't you cross 'Homicidal Intent' off? He clearly has homicidal intent. Made the prisoner bleed out? Eight hours. He said it took eight hours. Do you know what kind of torture the prisoner went through to bleed out in eight hours? It was slow. It was deliberate. Should we pull out the records for Interrogation room #17 so you can see for yourself what happened?

Doctor-in-Charge [1321]
No. No- Give me a moment. I didn't kno- I'll ignore that entire thing and get back on track. It seems like the three of us agree then. He is unfit for duty. Is nobody going to talk about the Hyuga boy?

Head Doctor [1321]
It's the Hyuga Clan. That's how they do things. It's always been this way. Nobody can do anything about that. Jonin Commander [REDACTED] wants him out of the hospital. Says that his team is the only team so far to have a hundred percent mission success rate. Commander wants his best Intel Ops team back in the field. If the prototype works, Commander will get his team up and running about. Can we get R&D to give us a confirmation on how long they're going to take? He won't be unfit for duty anymore once a working prototype rolls out.

Chief Medical Officer [1322]
Right. We'd have to report our findings back to the Hokage. This might just revolutionise our economy. Your daughter might just be a genius! We'd be able to get so many shinobi out of retirement. Think about the money we can bring from the Inner Court! We'd be able to secure funding for more research. Things isn't as it used to be, ever since [REDACTED] left. What a waste of her talents.

Doctor-in-Charge [1323]
This isn't going anywhere. Shall we come back another time? I have an operation scheduled at 1:30pm today.

Head Doctor [1324]
I have a meeting with the head of R&D later too. Let's just wrap it up. All of this leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Chief Medical Officer [1325]
Right. Meeting officially adjourned. We've already given our professional opinions on the matter. It's up to the Hokage and Commander to decide now.
