Passing through mountains and forests, the Land of Fire border is in sight.
Whoosh!
One after another figures appeared in front, either standing on the top of trees, branches, or squatting on the ground.
It's Konoha Ninja!
Shita Genichi finally took a breath.
The cloud ninjas who were chasing after them stopped when they saw the numerous Konoha Ninjas.
"As expected of White Fang of Konoha..."
Dodai touched his left eye which was covered by a bandage.
If it weren't for Lava Release's powerful defense, he wouldn't be blind, but his head would be pierced by Hatake Sakumo.
"And that kid named Shita Genichi, that damn guy!"
A cloud ninja's eyes fell on Shita Genichi's back, full of unwillingness.
His brother, Special Jonin, died at the hands of Shita Genichi.
"Konoha Ninja is coming, retreat!"
Dodai put away his complicated emotions and opened his mouth to give the order.
Several Kumo ninjas immediately disappeared.
the other side.
Shita Genichi leaned against the tree and panted.
"Captain, Genichi, are you okay?"
The voice of Yamanaka En sounded.
Shita Genichi raised his head. "It's okay, just a minor injury."
Yamanaka En glanced at it. "Where is Langyi?"
After asking, he understood something and couldn't help but remain silent.
Compared to Shita Genichi, Yamanaka En and Uchiha Namiichi have worked together longer.
Uchiha Namiichi is undoubtedly a arrogant person, but Uchiha Namiichi, who looks cold on the outside, actually has a delicate mind and a warm heart.
It was indeed difficult to get along with each other in the beginning.
But companions like Uchiha Namiichi can be completely trusted in the mission.
Although it was not the first time to send away a companion, Yamanaka En still felt uncomfortable.
However, Yamanaka En quickly regained his composure, came to Shita Genichi, reached out and patted the latter's shoulder as a silent comfort.
Shita Genichi nodded, and after catching his breath, he quickly came to the teacher Hatake Sakumo, untied the bandage on the latter's arm and checked the situation.
Hatake Sakumo smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, you are recovering well."
"Genichi, your medical ability is getting better and better."
After checking, Shita Genichi breathed a sigh of relief, Hatake Sakumo's arm was saved.
It is indeed easier for people to make progress in adversity. In the past two days, Soldier Mantra's medical ability has suddenly reached a higher level.
Hatake Sakumo He stabilized injuries like almost broken bones.
"Teacher, you still can't be careless. If you want to be completely cured, you still need Lady Tsunade to take action."
Shita Genichi looked serious. "Go back to the village as soon as possible!"
Hatake Sakumo nodded, and then went to negotiate with the ninjas of the border defense force.
Half an hour later, Shita Genichi three people, plus two Root ninjas set off again.
However, even though they said they had to hurry, because Shita Genichi himself and Hatake Sakumo, and even the two surviving Root ninjas were injured, they did not rush.
Rest when you need to rest, heal when you need to heal.
Although I am unhappy with Danzo and think there is something wrong with this mission, after all, we have experienced life and death fights together, so for the ninja Root, Shita Genichi is temporarily regarded as a companion, and there is no ambiguity when it comes to trying our best to heal the injuries.
Around ten o'clock the next morning.
Shita Genichi and others finally returned to Konoha.
After entering the village, the troops divided into two groups.
Yamanaka En and Root ninjas went to hand over information, but Shita Genichi forced Hatake Sakumo to go to Konoha Hospital, and invited Tsunade to personally diagnose and treat Hatake Sakumo.
As for where to report to Third Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shita Genichi replaced Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo agreed after thinking about it.
Whether it was because he couldn't bear to reject his disciple's kindness, or because he considered that Shita Genichi needed the opportunity to stand alone, he accepted the offer.
However, before Shita Genichi left, he was stopped by Hatake Sakumo: "Genichi, don't do anything you're not sure about."
Shita Genichi paused, understood what Hatake Sakumo meant, turned around and smiled, "Teacher, don't worry, I understand."
"Langyi died fighting for the village. He is a hero."
"Root ninjas also died fighting for the village. They are the unsung heroes of the village. I will not be biased against them."
"Besides, without them, maybe I would have died in the mission this time."
Hatake Sakumo felt relieved and nodded. "Go ahead."
Shita Genichi nodded and left.
Tsunade frowned, and after Shita Genichi left, he asked, "Senior, is there a problem with this mission?"
Hatake Sakumo shook his head. "Maybe, but it might be a coincidence."
Tsunade didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
Within Hokage Building.
After notifying and getting permission, Shita Genichi came outside Hokage Office and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came out.
Shita Genichi pushed the door open and walked a few steps before bowing in greeting. "Third!"
"Genichi ah~"
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head with gentle eyes. "I heard you were injured, is it okay?"
Shita Genichi raised his head and said, "It's just a minor injury. Thank you Third for your concern."
"The teacher was seriously injured, so he was sent to the hospital. I took the teacher's place to report on his work."
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this, nodded slightly and began to ask about the status of this mission.
Because there were serious losses in the mission, he asked more carefully.
Shita Genichi also answered in detail, and did not tend to say that Root had a problem with subjective emotions.
Not only because there is no evidence at all, but he also knows the relationship between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo.
Especially in today's time, the confrontation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo is not so obvious.
Furthermore, when it comes to politics, one cannot have high expectations.
Even if this matter is just a suspicion, Shita Genichi will speculate with the greatest malice.
As a time traveler, I am so conspiracy-minded and insecure.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't change his expression much when he asked, he just kept puffing away.
After Shita Genichi finished speaking, he sighed, "Langyi is a good boy and the hero of the village."
"But since Langyi has entrusted his future to you, then Genichi you will be carrying the future of two people. Don't be too sad. I think this is not what the child Langyi wants to see."
Shita Genichi nodded sadly. "Yes."
"It's just that Uchiha Clan is afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will go to the Uchiha Clan with Sakumo to explain this matter in person."
"Since it was entrusted by the child Langyi, then we should respect the deceased's last wish."
"Genichi You must also make good use of that child's gift!"
Shita Genichi immediately bowed. "Yes!"
Coming out of Hokage Building, Shita Genichi felt the sun was warm on his body and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It's so good to be alive!
So, if anyone wants him to die, whether it is intentional or unintentional, just go and die!
Shita Genichi opened his eyes, his gaze cold.
"Genichi!"
The voice of Yamanaka En came from behind.
Shita Genichi's eyes softened instantly and he turned around. "Is it over?"
Yamanaka En nodded.
Shita Genichi said, "Let's go to the hospital together!"
Yamanaka En agreed, then cast Body Flicker Technique together and left.
