Konoha Outside the east gate, the golden light dissipated, and Minato let go of the hand on Obito's shoulder.
As soon as the four people landed, the two gatekeepers Chunin blew the assembly whistle without saying a word.
The sharp whistle exploded in the early morning air.
In less than three minutes, Medical Corps ninjas ran from the village like crazy, equipped with stretchers and first-aid kits.
"Quick! Get on the stretchers!"
Obito had just been supported by two medical ninjas on his arms, and they immediately threw away their hands as if they were electrocuted.
"I can walk on my own without a stretcher!"
He said this loudly, and he took a big step forward with great courage.
Then there was a "chirp" sound.
The right knee parted outwards without any suspense, and the whole person fell to the ground in a very standard dog-eating posture.
The two medical ninjas, with their quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed him and unceremoniously pushed him back onto the stretcher. They even used straps to cross-fix him.
"Let me go! I'm really fine!"
Obito was flapping on the stretcher like a fish on the chopping board. His voice drifted farther and farther away, and he was directly carried by Medical Corps and rushed into the village.
Ye watched from behind and almost laughed out loud.
Kakashi seems much duller over there.
He remained silent throughout the whole process, with his right hand stuck in his pocket and his left hand resting on the handle of the Short Sword knife.
As soon as the medical ninja approached him, he took half a step back as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Hatake Jonin, we need to check your right arm."
"No need."
Kakashi's voice was extremely low, and he refused simply and neatly.
The medical ninja still wanted to persuade them, but Minato raised his hand to signal them to leave first.
"Kakashi, go back to the ward first. If there is any problem, we will deal with it slowly."
Kakashi glanced at Minato and finally nodded.
Lin's face was pale, her hand was pressed on her lower abdomen, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Three-Tails's Chakra deep inside the seal occasionally surged, making her breathing become unstable.
Medical Corps immediately stepped forward to support her.
"Nohara Chunin, your injuries are serious and a comprehensive examination is required."
Lin nodded and said nothing.
Ye stood at the back, with blood still oozing from the bandage on his left shoulder.
He ignored Medical Corps's movements and swept his eyes over the surrounding eaves without leaving any trace.
There were several hidden figures of Root standing there, and the eyes under the mask were locked on him, motionless.
Ye did not dodge, but instead raised his head to meet his gaze and showed a smile.
Danzo, old dog, is well-informed, so I'm keeping an eye on him.
Konoha Hospital, four people were arranged in the ward area on the same floor.
When Medical Corps inspected Obito's legs, the expression on his face changed from being serious at the beginning to looking like a ghost.
"This bone reset is so precise... this bone setting technique... hiss, it far exceeds the highest level in the battlefield!"
Medical Corps squatted beside the bed for a long time, sweeping the green Chakra in his hand over the broken bones. The more he looked at it, the more he doubted his life.
"Who handled it for you?"
Lin raised her hand in a low voice beside her. "It's me."
Medical Corps was stunned for a full three seconds and suddenly turned his head to stare at Lin.
"Who did you learn it from?"
"Kushina Uzumaki-senpai."
Hearing this name, Director Medical Corps took a deep breath on the spot.
"No wonder! Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's seal and Medical Ninjutsu are indeed top-notch."
He stood up and patted Lin's shoulder sincerely.
"Nohara Chunin, your medical talent is extremely high. When your injury is healed, you must consider coming to our Medical Corps!"
Lin nodded, holding the sheets with her fingers, and did not answer.
In the ward next door, Kakashi was lying on his side facing the wall, with his right hand hidden under the quilt from beginning to end.
The medical ninja came closer and tried to pull the quilt, and his whole body tensed up instantly.
"Hatake Jonin, right arm..."
"No need, get out."
Kakashi's voice was bone-chillingly cold.
The medical ninja opened his mouth and finally exited the ward.
The night ward is at the end of the corridor.
He refused the medical ninja's suggestion of bandaging and only asked the other party to leave bandages and disinfectant.
"I can do it myself."
The medical ninja hesitated for a moment, then put the things on the bedside table and turned to leave.
Late at night.
Lying on the hospital bed at night, the moonlight outside the window filtered in through the gaps in the curtains, drawing a slender spot of light on the floor.
Tobi's White Zetsu Chakra twisted restlessly at his shoulder blades, and a voice came out in his head.
"Ye, that golden retriever teacher has left to report the mission to Hokage's Office."
Ye closed her eyes and said nothing, thinking about the next mess in her mind.
Danzo Now that he knows that he has opened Mangekyo, it is absolutely impossible for Lao Yinbi to remain calm.
Root Those masked guys are probably having a meeting in the basement right now about gouging out their own eyes.
There is also Three-Tails in Lin's body. This is a time bomb. Kushina must be used to strengthen the seal quickly.
"Let Mizukage continue to lurk in the dark. Without my order, he will never show his face."
Night gives orders in his mind.
"Roger it!"
Tobi paused for two seconds, then came up to him and asked, "Ye, do you think that old man named Danzo will really do something to you?"
"Yes."
"And, very fast."
Early the next morning.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
Kushina rushed into the ward area in a hurry, kicked open the door of Ye's ward, and his fiery red hair flew wildly in the air.
"Kids! I heard that you almost died together outside yesterday?!"
She glanced at the bandage on Ye Ye's shoulder, curled her lips, and clicked her tongue.
"You just scratched your skin, but you still have the nerve to occupy the hospital bed?"
Ye looked at this Red Hot-Blooded Habanero expressionlessly.
"Senior Kushina, there is no time for joking. There is a big problem on Lin's side."
Kushina raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong with that girl?"
"She was forcefully stuffed with Three-Tails, and now it's Jinchuriki."
Kushina was stunned for three seconds, and the smile on his face disappeared completely. He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of Ye's hospital gown.
"You fucking say that again?!"
Ye, despite her murderous intent, recounted the details of the second half of Kannabi Bridge.
Of course, the roles of Madara and White Zetsu were hidden, and it was only said that Kirigakure was not a human being. Lin relied on Four Symbols Seal taught by Kushina to survive.
Kushina After listening, he took a deep breath and loosened Ye's collar.
"What's going on with the girl now?"
"The seal is quite stable."
Kushina was silent for a while, then turned and walked out the door.
"Take me to see her."
In Lin's hospital room.
Kushina After carefully inspecting the sealing array on his abdomen, his tense expression relaxed a little.
"Four Symbols Seal is good, but not enough."
She pulled up a chair and sat down, her expression extremely serious.
"Three-Tails is different from Nine-Tails. It has a relatively gentle personality, but it is Tailed Beasts after all, and its power is equally devastating."
Lin sat on the hospital bed, her fingers almost tearing the sheets to shreds.
"Teacher Kushina... can't humans and Tailed Beasts really coexist peacefully?"
Kushina looked at the expectant little girl in front of him and shook his head cruelly.
"Basically impossible."
"Tailed Beasts hates humans for using them as tools, and humans are afraid of Tailed Beasts's power. This has been a deadlock for thousands of years."
Lin lowered her head, and there was only suffocating silence in the ward.
In the afternoon of the third day.
Obito's legs were finally able to get off the ground, although they still had to use crutches.
He was so depressed in the ward that he insisted on dragging Ye and Kakashi to Konoha Commercial Street for a walk, and Lin also went with him.
Shopping Street Master came and went, and it was very lively.
Obito was holding the crutch, staring at Lin's back in front of him, and squeezed the crutch with such force that it almost broke the wood.
Kakashi glanced at his useless and dead look.
"Just say what you want to say, don't grind your teeth here."
Obito's face suddenly turned red and he tried to quibble.
"You know nothing! This is called looking for opportunities!"
Ye walked in the front, without even looking back, and lightly tossed over:
"Pull him down. If you hesitate, you will be defeated. If you are decisive, you will get nothing. You who don't even dare to give for free will have to eat dog food for the rest of your life."
Obito was so choked that he rolled his eyes and opened his mouth for a long time.
Finally, he choked out a sentence: "Wait... just a few more days! Let me slow down!"
On the way home, it was difficult for Ye to stop taunting her and said something serious for the first time.
"On the battlefield, no one knows who will die or live in the next second."
"If you don't say some things today, you may never have the chance to say them in your lifetime."
Obito was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.
