A New Snake In The Shinobi World

Chapter 322:

"As a child?"

Obito was stunned for a moment before quickly recalling that his blood had indeed been drawn once by the Uchiha clan leader when he was a child.

"I don't mind taking care of them," Nono replied as she adjusted her glasses. "But you mentioned Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and that the seal weakens during childbirth. I don't think I'm capable of handling something like that."

Nono was just a medical ninja. Even though she possessed Magnet Release, she was far from being a combat specialist.

"Alright, then I'm fine with it," Nono nodded slightly.
