"I'll go to the Konoha hospital!" Zabuza made a choice without much thought. No way was he going to be thrown into a slaughterhouse to slaughter pigs. He couldn't bear the thought of Momochi Zabuza, a renowned figure, becoming a pig butcher. How would people who knew him look at him? Should he continue to roam the ninja world? He couldn't afford that.

"A wise choice..." Sakura nodded in satisfaction and said to Haku, "He's in your hands now. Treat him as your assistant and just make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. If there's any disturbance, let him handle it!"

"Konoha doesn't have any incidents of medical disturbance!" The Third Hokage reminded Sakura. The people of Konoha were kind-hearted. How could there be any medical disturbances?

"Last month, there were three incidents of medical disturbance at Konoha hospital. The month before that, a doctor had an affair and was beaten up by his wife and her family, almost to death. And six months ago..."

"Stop. Those were all accidents..." The Third Hokage interrupted Sakura. He suddenly felt a headache coming on. Konoha was a big place, and the occasional rat droppings were inevitable. He couldn't control everyone's character.

"With Zabuza around, the doctors at Konoha hospital will be safer. Whether it's a physical altercation or being a punching bag, Zabuza is a great choice!" Sakura listed the benefits of having Zabuza, and the Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction.

Zabuza: "..." Why do I feel like I'm the scapegoat here? So being a doctor also requires the ability to withstand beatings?

"As for their residence, I'll assign them a house near Kakashi's place for easier surveillance!" The Third Hokage took out a document, stamped it with a seal, and handed it to Haku. She was the one who could make the final decision. The old man was very clear about that.

"Thank you, Third Hokage-sama!" Haku glanced at the document. It was a temporary residence permit for Konoha. "May I ask, will Third Hokage-sama be able to attend our housewarming party later?"

"Cough, let's forget about that. I don't like overly crowded scenes. It's better for me to stay somewhere quiet!" Although he didn't know why Haku invited him, the Third Hokage instinctively declined. He had a strange feeling, as if this girl was plotting something.

"What a pity..." Haku shook her head regretfully and whispered, "I thought I could get some gift money. After all, you're the Hokage. I hope you won't be stingy!"

The Third Hokage: "..." I heard that. I heard it all. So, the reason for such a warm invitation was for gift money. It really hurts my old heart.

"It's alright. I'll make up for the gift money later, Grandpa Third Hokage. Although I don't have much money as a child, it's still a token of my gratitude. You're getting old, so it's normal to be a bit stingy. Consider this a bribe to Grandpa Third Hokage!" Sakura said with a smile, her voice so low that it almost shattered the window glass.

"I'll attend later..." The Third Hokage was overwhelmed by Sakura's merciless words. If she continued, he would be in big trouble. With such a loud voice, rumors might spread that he was stingy and even squeezed gift money out of children.

"Then, we'll be waiting for you, Third Hokage-sama!" Haku said with a beaming smile. "However, Third Hokage-sama is busy, so I assume you won't have time to stay for dinner at our place, right?"

The Third Hokage: "..." They even want me to eat now? So they're just waiting for my gift money!

"I'm not hungry, not hungry at all..." The Third Hokage forced a bitter smile. He should have known. Being highly regarded by Sakura was strange in itself, considering her normal personality.

"Let me give you the gift money now. I have some documents to attend to later, so I won't be able to come!" To prevent any further trouble, the Third Hokage took out the money and quickly ushered them out.
