Hidden Otsutsuki

Feng He and Tiegen were face to face, immersed in drawing talismans, and the two shadow clones behind them were also facing each other.

Somewhat difficult... lip-syncing.

"what to do"

"Wait?"

"We can only wait, the master has no instructions."

"But what if they try to trigger the barrier?"

"Get rid of"

…

Naturally, Yu Ling couldn't accept the thoughts of the clones. Although they also used their senses to check every move of Yamafaze and Aburame's roots, what they came up with was a completely different plan from the clones.

Turning around and seeing the normal treatment on the other side, Yu Ling gave the order decisively.

"Hmph, "Gen" was quite hostile to me before. I have to take this grudge. Use your clones to harass them and don't get discovered."

He glanced at Gogen's back fiercely, then closed his eyes again, pretending to close his eyes and rest.

"Huh? The master wants us to harass you." The shadow clone standing behind Shanfeng raised his head as soon as he received the order, intending to make a plan... only to find that the clone opposite him had disappeared.

"Who?" Togen suddenly raised his head, holding an inconspicuous gray stone in his hand.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Feng heard the movement, stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked behind Ge Gen.

"Stone."

"Huh? So, what happened to the stone?"

"Someone threw rocks at me."

"Look, why don't you just tell me clearly...who is it!?"

A similarly gray stone also fell at Shan Fengfeng's feet, but there was clearly no life around...

…

Above their heads, in the canopy of trees.

The shadow clone on Shanfeng's head was covered in cold sweat, and he was making faces at the shadow clone on the opposite side. The two stones were obviously the work of these two "people".

Also holding their breath and concentrating, because there are no human organs, and the body contains all chakra attributes contained in nature, under the deliberate control of the two, the feeling of breath and chakra is very integrated with the surroundings.

"Okay, it's almost dawn. Come back." Yu Ling, who was attracted by the movement of Gegen and Feng, quietly opened one eye, just in time to catch a glimmer of dawn in the distance, and took the initiative to dispel the two shadow clones, so as not to Extraneous branches.

"Feng, it's going to be daybreak. Give up." Qigen pulled the surrounding soil twice, barely covering the runes he had just made, and stood up as if nothing had happened, with his back to the direction of Yu Ling and others, pretending to go Check your surroundings.

"Huh? It's so sudden. Well, it'll just have to happen next time." Shanfeng looked at the semi-finished product at his feet with some reluctance, then turned around and followed Tie Gen.

"Humph, they also know they have to stop." Yu Ling was not interested in pretending to be asleep, and stood up directly and walked towards Nonoyu who was still performing treatment.

"Senior Medicine Master, how are they doing?"

"Well, everything is pretty good. Except for this one named Metkai, his life force is a little serious. This is not something that my ninjutsu can cure. I can only wait for him to recover on his own. Just eat a few more meals. Your two The prisoners are all awake, do you want to go take a look?" No Naiyu smiled softly at Yu Ling, not only her gentle nature, but also the inexplicable overflowing maternal love when looking at the cute little child...

"Prisoner...I...oh okay." Yu Ling never realized who the prisoner Nonoyu was talking about. After all, in his eyes, Jugo and Kimimaro are both his teammates and partners. At least it's not a prisoner-like relationship involving upper and lower classes.

"Yeah, it's over there, against the tree." Nonoyu pointed to the big tree in the distance, and continued to focus on Kai in front of him.

"Thank you, senior." Yu Ling slightly concealed his gaffe, turned his head and looked at the two people who had woken up under the tree, and trotted over.

"Yu Ling." Zhongwu nodded slightly and greeted in a low voice.

"Yeah. How are you doing?"

"The body is recovering well, but the chakra is a little overdrawn. There is no problem in carrying out the mission."

"So, where is Kimimaro?" Kimimaro was injured mentally, and Nonoyu did not elaborate on his condition.

"I'm fine. I'll feel better when I wake up." Kimimaro smiled slightly, stood up directly, looked over Yu Ling's body and looked at Chaoyang behind him. "Did I sleep for half the day?"

"You still know the time...Zhonggo also slept for almost half the day."

"Is that so..." Zhongwu rubbed his orange hair and muttered helplessly.

"Is there anything you want us to do?" Kimimaro said to break the awkward atmosphere. Giving him some tasks should be able to wake up his body after sleeping for a long time.

"Huh? I want you to do it..." Yu Ling didn't think about this issue, so he could only make it up on the spot. "How about adding a secret mission to the entire rescue mission?"

"Secret mission? What is it for?" Zhongwu didn't expect that Yu Ling would have such a skill, and all that was running through his mind was about assassinations.

Kimimaro didn't speak, but stood aside with his hands folded, looking down and staring into Yu Ling's eyes.

"Well, it's just to monitor the actions of the "Root" team." With what happened this morning, it is inevitable that there will be obstacles in future missions. If there are these two people, let's be the first line of defense.

"Spy on them? Aren't they here for support?" Zhonggo didn't think much about it, but he didn't quite understand why he wanted to spy on his new teammates.

"I'm not too worried about them. They're setting up barriers there early in the morning. So I'll leave it to you two." Yu Ling didn't intend to go into details, but he still clearly pointed out what they did.

"Is that so, are you going to do bad things as soon as you come here..."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's a sensory barrier? That's why we need to monitor... at least confirm the motives of those people."

"Motive...Okay, I'll tell you if I have any information." Kimimaro agreed without much thought.

"Okay." The task arrangement is over, and the only thing left is to go with the flow and continue the original task.

…

"Wind, they are expected to continue their mission."

"Well, that should be the case. After all, that's their dark force captain."

"Orochimaru."

"Well, it was Orochimaru who did it."

"Orochimaru."

"Huh? What's wrong with Orochimaru?"

"Use his power to eliminate Yu Ling."

"That's what I mean... That's natural. We can't take action directly."

"Um."

…

"Hmm...where is this...red?" Asuma opened his eyes and after a little adaptation to the surrounding light, the first thought that came to his mind was Yuhi Kurenai.

After turning to both sides and squinting to finally see Hong's face clearly, he couldn't help but stretch out a bandaged hand and touch it.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kurenai was awakened by the rough touch. After she glanced at the bandage, she seemed to be frightened and hurriedly stretched out a hand to cover the back of Asuma's hand.

"It's okay...how are you feeling?" Asuma stared at Hong's half-opened eyes and gave a stiff greeting.

"Ha, I'm fine. I can move physically, and there's nothing mentally wrong with me..." Kurenai was amused by Asuma's serious look, but this smile made her head swell, and she took away the hand that was pressing on Asma's arm. , tightly covering his temples.

"My mental power is still damaged..." As a genjutsu ninja, her mental power is her specialty, but it is also her fatal weakness. As long as you encounter an opponent who is too powerful, your spirit will suffer serious backlash. If the support hadn't been timely, she would have slept for three days and three nights.

"Hong, don't force it." They were still harsh words, but a tenderness couldn't help being revealed.

"Yeah, it's okay." Hong held on for a while, lifted his upper body up, and sat leaning on the root of the tree. This small action seemed simple, but it was a bit difficult for Hong. Her mental strength was no longer enough to control her actions. She bent her elbow and lay down again.

"Red?" Asuma's body was fine. After sitting up directly, he held Red and leaned on his shoulder.

"Thanks."

"Ah, that senior, you can't move around yet. Your mental power has been backlashed, and you still have some problems if you want to move freely. You should be able to rest for half a day." Nonoyu stopped when he heard the movement behind him. He stopped what he was doing and turned his head to see Senior Hong sliding towards the ground.

"Half a day? Okay, thank you." Mental fatigue will cause time to be ignored. Even though he usually started morning exercises at this time, Hong, who was still talking a second ago, actually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"You're so tired... sleep well, Kurenai." Asuma lowered his head, kissed Kurenai's forehead, and said nothing.

Kushina did not wake up. She turned over in her sleep, muttered something incomprehensible, and continued to snore. Judging from the even breathing, Kushina's body was fine.

"It looks like this is the only one left in my hand... Kai-senpai." The mission of "Root" is about efficiency, and ninjas who are not useful to the mission will only be abandoned. Kai's lost life energy cannot be treated by Nonoyu with the help of medical ninjutsu. It completely depends on his long-term self-recovery.

Until he fully recovers, he is just a liability to this team.

"...I'm sorry." A cold look appeared on Nonoyu's face, and the smile slowly disappeared. The green light on his palm also weakened a little, and he raised his hand to wipe his sweaty face.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..." As soon as the green light disappeared, Kai suddenly started coughing, his chest heaved violently, and balls of turbid air spewed out of his mouth one after another.

"Senior Kai?" He originally planned to kill him if he couldn't be saved, but Nonoyu was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

No matter what, Kai's injuries are so serious that he won't be able to recover for a while.

When he put his hands on Kai's body and used medical ninjutsu, he found a strange light inside his body. Something warm and bright.

"Huh... Then there's no need to kill him." The smile came back, along with beads of sweat.

…

"It worked... Gen's people are really unambiguous in doing things." Yu Ling sighed, and the faint orange chakra in his palm quietly disappeared.

"Attention everyone, we will continue the rescue mission after half a day."
