Chapter 5 Psychotherapy
"My sister is fine!"
Before Itachi could speak, the little girl next to him, looking around, immediately denied it loudly.
"Left Moon..."
Itachi gently pressed Zuo Yue down, but hearing someone mention her most admired older sister, Zuo Yue was still unconvinced. She pouted and muttered under her breath, "What kind of miracle doctor is she? She's clearly a quack!"
Naruko overheard this and immediately got angry, starting to argue with Zuoyue.
Seeing the two little girls bickering so cutely, Ningxia and Itachi didn't stop them. Itachi asked Ningxia what the problem was.
"Mental illness."
Ningxia didn't understand the plot, only vaguely knowing some things, including Itachi's massacre of the entire clan, coupled with her own gloomy demeanor and hidden mental instability.
It's safe to say that Itachi is not normal; she's like a landmine that will explode when the pressure is right.
Itachi, who hadn't really taken it to heart, straightened up. These past few days, as a double agent, had left her physically and mentally exhausted and anxious.
But in order not to worry Zuo Yue and the others, she tried her best to hide her anxiety, making excuses that the mission was just too tiring.
"Excuse me, do you have any ideas?"
Itachi looked at Ningxia and decided to take this divine doctor seriously again.
Ningxia also pondered that if the Uchiha clan hadn't been wiped out, it would have significantly altered the plot, which would have been beneficial to him.
The problem is where to start. You can't just say he's immortal and expect the Third Generation to be immortal.
After thinking for a moment, Ningxia decided to start with the woman in front of him, telling her that he had some calming medicine and incense that could relieve Itachi's anxiety.
"By the way, you should come and get some psychological counseling."
"Psychological...counseling?"
The unfamiliar vocabulary left Itachi somewhat bewildered, so Ningxia explained:
"Ninjas are still human after all. As long as they are human, they will have emotions and desires. After carrying out high-intensity missions, they may develop severe PTSD."
"pt...sd?"
Itachi struggled to imitate Ningxia's vocabulary, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Ningxia covered her face upon seeing this, realizing she had been careless and forgotten that most ninjas were illiterate.
"This is a mental illness that varies from person to person..."
Ning Xia could explain it in a way that Itachi could understand, and the more he did so, the more he missed the time when he could have a long, straight conversation with a certain black-haired girl.
"I...I think I understand."
Itachi nodded stiffly. She always felt that Ningxia looked at her as if she were an illiterate person.
But... no matter what, she is one of the top geniuses in the Uchiha clan, so it feels strange to be treated like this.
"In short, would you like to give it a try? Will it make you feel much better?"
Seeing Ningxia's intense gaze, Itachi was somewhat at a loss. Were they that close? Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?
"Do you want?"
Ningxia blinked, staring intently at the girl in front of her, her eyes filled with a pure, unadulterated longing for the talisman.
"Shall we...give it a try?"
Itachi had never been looked at like that before, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
At Ningxia's warm invitation, we entered the room that had been renovated in advance. After Ningxia tinkered with it for a while, Itachi obediently lay down on the bed.
As I inhaled the aroma of incense in the air, my body began to relax uncontrollably.
Itachi instinctively wanted to resist, but her exhausted body wouldn't obey her wishes, and she fell into a deep sleep within a few breaths.
When Ningxia came out, Naruto and Zuoyue were fighting. However, compared to Zuoyue, who had been trained by her family since childhood, Naruto was clearly no match for her.
Seeing that Zuo Yue was about to trip Mingzi, Ningxia immediately lifted her up, saying that her sister was receiving treatment and that she should just wait patiently.
"snort!"
Xiao Zuoyue turned her face away angrily, her cheeks puffed up like a little soup dumpling.
Ningxia couldn't resist poking it, and the little soup dumpling immediately deflated with a "poof~".
"I'll fight you to the death!!!"
Watching Zuo Yue stuff cherry tomatoes into her mouth with a fierce expression, Ningxia prepared some dumplings for Mingzi. She couldn't help but smile as she watched them bickering.
After all, the two little ones are just too cute, making it impossible not to like them.
"Th-thank you..."
Zuo Yue looked at Ning Xia, who was smiling. Although she disliked this man at first, he wasn't that bad!
After all, their cherry tomatoes are really delicious.
Ningxia gently rubbed Zuo Yue's head. Zuo Yue was about to have a meltdown, but she held back when she saw the delicious cherry tomatoes.
Looking at Mingzi who was looking forward to seeing him, Ningxia placed her other hand on her head.
Xi Yan quietly hid in the corner, watching Ning Xia's concern for the little girl, and silently noted it down in her little notebook.
During this time, in addition to the Uchiha clan, other clans such as Sarutobi and Shimura also visited with gifts. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, other clans followed one after another.
It's impossible for Ningxia to personally host every family, so they simply let Bai handle the gift collection afterwards.
Perhaps Itachi was under too much pressure, because she slept until the afternoon. Zuo Yue insisted on waiting for her sister to wake up, so Ning Xia simply made her share as well.
Zuo Yue and Mingzi always competed with each other, even when it came to eating, they would compete to see who could eat more and faster. Only after Ningxia corrected them did they obediently chew their food slowly.
When she woke up, Zuo Yue and Mingzi were already playing together. Although they said they hated each other, they had already accepted each other as friends.
Ningxia continued telling them the story of the golden-haired boy. As a friend of the Fourth Hokage, he knew a great deal about Minato's dark history and unofficial stories.
Since Minato himself has no objections, it doesn't matter if he says something.
"Left Moon".
Seeing his sister so engrossed in her work, Itachi couldn't help but call out and wave to her.
She always felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she saw her younger sister being affectionate with other people, as if her own little cabbage was about to be eaten by wild boars.
Even though Ningxia doesn't seem like that kind of person.
"Sister, you're awake!"
At this moment, Zuo Yue completely let go of her pride in Ningxia and Mingzi, and was very happy to come to her sister's side.
Seeing her sister's joyful expression, Itachi's eyes were filled with affection. She then expressed her gratitude to Ningxia, who felt much lighter after waking up.
It's like a heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders. Perhaps... I could let her give it a try?
"How much does it cost?"
"No need, you're my first customer, it's free."
Ningxia waved his hand and then said that if there was anything needed, he would find a way.
"Th-thank you..."
After expressing his gratitude, Itachi took Zuoyue and prepared to go home.
On the way, Zuo Yue suddenly asked Itachi hesitantly when he would go to see a doctor again, and that he must take her with him.
Faced with her sister's gaze, Zuo Yue shrank back and then explained the story of the Fourth Hokage, the blond-haired boy, that Ningxia had mentioned, as well as the many delicious snacks and cherry tomatoes he had given her.
At the very end, he tried to act nonchalant and said, "That girl named Naruko has no friends. I... I just felt sorry for her, I'm not a good friend at all!"
