After listening to the white-haired ANBU's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became more and more solemn.
"Time, everything is right..." He murmured softly.
But this could also be a coincidence.
He suddenly thought of what the woman said again, which came from Shikkotsu Forest.
Perhaps, you can ask Tsunade about this matter.
She should know the key to something.
"Baiji, I have an important task for you now..."
Hearing this, Baiji suddenly raised his head.
Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "Just think of it as the punishment for your failure! There is no reward for this mission."
"Thank you Lord Hokage." Baiji saluted the figure in front of him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and then handed Scroll on the table to his eyes.
"Chasing Rogue Ninja, the opponent is two Konoha S-class Rogue Ninja. Do you want to accept this task?" During the inquiry, his eyes were still looking at the ANBU in front of him.
Hearing this, Baiji's body paused slightly.
He couldn't believe it.
He was not shocked by the content of the mission, but he was shocked that two S-level Rogue Ninja suddenly appeared in the village.
With trembling hands, he slowly took the envelope.
"I will definitely live up to my instructions!"
"Hmm..." Seeing him accept it without hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes also showed some appreciation.
"Okay, time is urgent, you should hurry up and carry out the task first!"
"You can ask a few more companions to execute it together."
Hearing this, Baiji nodded.
After clenching the Scroll in his hand, he walked out of the office.
Looking at the back, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.
"Hatake Sakumo..."
This kid has great talent. He has already achieved such strength just a few years after joining ANBU.
The future is expected to be limitless.
However, I have too little experience in the task, and I still need to practice and practice.
Otherwise, he would now want him to be the unit leader of ANBU.
I need to assign him a few more tasks to carry out.
After walking out of Hokage's Office, Baiji was also a little curious about the contents of Scroll.
Two S-class Rogue Ninja suddenly appeared. Who are they?
Nothing big happened in the village recently, right?
With curiosity, I slowly opened this Scroll.
After seeing the above content clearly, his pupils shrank immediately.
"Yui Hyuga? Nai Hyuga?" he exclaimed.
He didn't expect that S-class Rogue Ninja would be these two people. Rubbing his eyes, he wondered if he had seen it wrong.
I read the above content again, and after realizing that I was not mistaken, I slowly closed it again.
Hyuga Clan Head was assassinated and Byakugan was stolen.
This incident immediately reminded him of the woman he met in the morning, who was still holding Wave Breaker in her hand.
Claims to be a friend of Yui.
And it's also heading in the direction of the Hyuga Clan.
Could that be...
He suddenly didn't dare to think about it any more. The more he thought about these things, the more strange he felt.
He shook his head and began to prepare for this task with an anxious mood.
There is also suspicion written on it, and it may not belong to either of them.
In this regard, he could only comfort himself in this way.
Shikkotsu Forest...
"Nai Hyuga..." Yui reached out and touched this familiar face, and a tear gradually shed from the corner of his eye.
Nai Hyuga was on the bed. After Katsuyu's treatment, the skin and flesh on his body had completely recovered, but he still couldn't wake up.
"Yui..." Looking at Yui's sad expression, Shobue also couldn't bear it.
"Shobue, Nai Hyuga Why hasn't she woke up yet?" Yui wiped the tears from his eyes and asked Shobue with his back turned.
Hearing this, Shobue was silent for a moment, and then shook his head.
"I thought her most serious injuries were physical injuries."
"But looking at it now, her most serious injury is the mental problem." In this regard, Shobue is also somewhat powerless.
Yui's expression was stunned. Is it a mental trauma?
"Shobue, you were able to do it before..." she said doubtfully.
If I remember correctly, Shobue seemed to have treated her mental injuries when she was at Hyuga Feng Laboratory.
Shobue slowly shook her head. She knew what Yui was thinking, but it was a pity.
In order to dispel her concerns, she could only explain, "The one you had before can be said to be only damaged, and the other one can be alleviated by transporting Mental Power."
"But, like this, it is completely damaged, just like Medical Ninjutsu cannot heal a dead person."
Listening to what Shobue said, Yui's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
"Her body is still alive, but her brain has not woken up." Shobue sighed.
"You just became Vegetative State, right!" Yui choked with sobs.
"Vegetative State? What is that?" Shobue was a little confused, having never heard of the word before.
"It refers to some people whose bodies are still alive, but whose brains can no longer think." Yui explained in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shobue nodded. "This word does have some imagery..."
"Shobue, is there any way you can make her wake up?" Yui stared at Shobue in front of him with hope.
"Can Sage Mode who practices Shikkotsu Forest wake her up?"
Sage Mode? Shobue thought slowly for a while.
"It should be possible. Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest practices from the spiritual level."
"If you can learn it successfully, you should be sure that it can be cured."
"Okay, then I'll learn..." Hearing that Sage Mode was confident that he could be cured, Yui didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
"Really?" Shobue's expression was a little excited when he heard that Yui wanted to learn from Sage Mode.
"Well, it's true." Yui confirmed.
After she wiped all the tears from her face, she turned around to face Shobue behind her.
"Shobue, I want to learn Sage Mode, now."
"Okay, but this process will take a long time." Seeing Yui agree, Shobue was also a little happy.
I finally waited for someone who could practice Sage Mode.
"It's okay, no matter how long it takes, I will study hard and finish it." She said with firm eyes.
"Yeah." Shobue nodded.
Seeing Yui's sad expression, Shobue couldn't bear it. Although the tears had been wiped away, there were still tear stains on his face.
"Come with me." After saying this to Yui, she walked out alone.
Seeing this, Yui carefully arranged Nai Hyuga on the bed, and then she followed him out.
