"Also, among those people, we captured a woman with a special constitution. According to the Grass Ninja prisoners, they had captured her, and she has the unusual ability to heal others rapidly!"
Hatake Sakumo's words immediately caught Uzumaki Kuming's attention. As far as he knew, the Land of Grass's ninja forces had no Kekkei Genkai users. When the great nations were first established, the Kekkei Genkai clans—the most powerful ninja clans—had long since been absorbed by them. But judging from Sakumo's account, the person they had captured this time clearly possessed some kind of ability.
And as things stood, there was only one clan in the entire Shinobi World that might have been driven into exile!
With that thought, Uzumaki Kuming asked softly. He already had a guess; he only wanted Hatake Sakumo to confirm it.
"Did the woman you captured have red hair?"
Hatake Sakumo heard Uzumaki Kuming's question and stared at his red hair for a moment. He seemed to realize something, then answered at once. "Yes, she had red hair!"
"Come to think of it, her hair is a lot like yours, Lord Hokage, though it's a little lighter."
Just as he'd thought!
Uzumaki Kuming nodded, understanding in his eyes, then continued to ask:
"Was she alone?"
"Does she have any family? A husband, children, anything like that?"
Hatake Sakumo shook his head and thought back over the information. "No, she was alone, and her mental state isn't very good."
"She must have suffered quite a bit at the hands of the Grass Ninja. According to our medical ninjas' examination, she has hundreds of wounds on her body."
"They're all bite marks."
"I've already sent my men ahead with her. They're only a little slower than I am, so they should arrive in another hour or two."
