Kikyo and I are of one mind

Chapter 24 Familiar

"Oops, I was captured!" The moment Chunin Sato regained consciousness, he understood what had happened to him, and his face immediately turned ugly.

Although he felt that he might die, he still tried to mobilize Chakra according to the knowledge he had learned in school.

Unexpectedly, he was not sealed by Chakra, as if...the other party didn't know how to deal with ninjas at all.

Just when he started to try to concentrate the chakra on his hand to break free, a quiet and indifferent voice appeared in his ears——

"Half demon, why are you following me?"

Sato turned his head slightly, and the Miko that he saw before came into view immediately. There was no expression on the other's face, as if he was not a human being in her eyes.

"Half-demon? A hybrid of monsters and humans?" Sato instinctively raised a question in his heart, and immediately denied it:

"I'm not a half-demon, but a ninja from Konoha Yin, the land of fire!"

Sato didn't have any hesitation about declaring himself as a family, because he already wore a Konoha forehead protector, so he couldn't even talk about it if he wanted to quibble.

"Ninja? I don't remember doing anything that would attract a ninja to follow me."

Feng Xue said indifferently, her cold eyes stimulated the spirit of the ninja.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be reasonable, Sato immediately said:

"You crossed the border through informal channels. I just did it as a routine. Now is a special period. If you cross the border without formalities and identification, it is reasonable for me to suspect that you are a spy from the Kingdom of Wind."

"Is that so?" Although Feng Xue frowned slightly, as if thinking about the authenticity of the other party's words, what he was thinking in his heart was how to let go of this ninja as reasonably as possible.

After all, when he followed up before, other ninjas knew about it. Even if the corpses and traces were destroyed, he might not be able to escape the result of Konoha’s blacklist. He prefers to maintain a relatively friendly relationship with Konoha.

In fact, during the short time when the other party was in a coma, Feng Xue had obtained the other party's memory through possession. Although the useful information in this guy's memory was pitifully small, as a ninja who had experienced the Second Ninja World War, the other party also mastered some methods, such as... Shadow clone.

Although this is a popular ninjutsu in Konoha, if you want to rank the most practical types of ninjutsu among all ninjutsu, then the shadow clone is definitely among the best.

This ninjutsu integrates the functions of camouflage, substitute, detection, combat, reinforcement, cooperation, assistance, and practice, and does not involve high-level changes in form and nature. The learning threshold is extremely low. Most importantly, it involves abilities that Feng Xue urgently needs.

It seems that because Feng Xue fell into silence, Sato began to feel uneasy. After hesitating for a while, he still decided to work hard for his own life:

"When I followed up, other companions knew that if you kill me, you will be wanted by Konoha Yin..."

"I don't know what it means." Feng Xue spit out four words coldly, turned around and left, leaving Sato in a daze.

After a while, it seemed that Feng Xue had really left, and Sato immediately began to gather chakra to destroy the rope. Although the other party did not seem to have the intention of killing him, this kind of place is not very safe, not to mention the enemy ninja, jumping out of a tiger Everything is troublesome enough, rather than thinking about the identity of the other party, breaking free quickly is the most important thing.

"Satou, did you get lost?" After a while, Sato returned to the outpost, and his teammate asked immediately. The other party was obviously not an ordinary person, and it was normal for him to be lost.

"I was even caught." Sato wanted to say that, but he still wisely concealed his disgraceful experience. Losing the target is a completely different concept from being captured by the opponent. It is enough to report and remind the rear to pay attention, but being captured...maybe you will have to undergo a round of "medical examination".

Although Sato's level is not high enough to know the secret department like Genbu, he still has heard of the name of the Torture Department.

Thinking that since the priestess let him go, she probably wouldn't spread the word everywhere, so she said a few perfunctory words, and passed the news of the unknown priestess crossing the border to the rear through Ninaka.

……

At this time, Feng Xue, relying on Sato's memory, bypassed the ninjas stationed nearby, and walked straight towards the hinterland of the Fire Kingdom.

Although in the general impression, Muye Village should be in the center of the Kingdom of Fire, or even in the coastal area, but in fact, Muye Village is actually located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Fire. Although it is not close to the national border, it is also It can't be too far away. From the border to Muye Village, it only takes two days to walk. If a ninja with better footwork can walk in one day.

(The original book mentions that it takes three days to travel from Konoha Village to Sand Ninja Village, and Akaiban travels day and night, and arrives in one day, with a country of Sichuan in the middle)

However, Feng Xue walked slower than expected, because he did not go directly to Konoha, but bypassed Konoha, and set his target on the satellite villages around Konoha (for example, when Naruto met the neighbor village in the past task).

Compared with the prosperous Konoha in the original book, these satellite villages look much more depressed, but they are only depression, not poverty.

Although it is not as good as the big cities in the Land of Fire, thanks to the convenience of Konoha Village, these villages can often enjoy a lot of preferential treatment——

In order to provide opportunities for the newly graduated ninjas to exercise, and at the same time enable those ninjas who were injured or disabled in the battle to make a living, Konoha and the surrounding villages have reached a tacit cooperation, allowing them to publish at a very low price. Some d-level missions.

Most of these tasks are manual labor with little technical content, even ordinary people can complete them, but when cheap labor such as ninjas is put into them, the production costs of these villages are greatly reduced, and at the same time, there are no bandits who are fat enough to rob them when there is a military fortress next to them.

Of course, there are things that ninjas can’t do——

Such as medical treatment.

Compared with ordinary ninjas, Konoha's own medical ninjas are not enough in this era when medical conditions are still scarce, so it is naturally impossible to let them go on missions, and don't expect famous doctors from small villages in a relatively closed environment. And this provided Feng Xue with a chance to increase his reputation.

He wandered around the villages around Konoha, treating diseases and exorcising evil spirits for the villagers with low remuneration, and slowly, he also accumulated some reputation.

And during this process, Feng Xue inevitably had a few face-to-face encounters with some ninjas who went out of the village to perform tasks, and in this gap, Feng Xue also secretly completed the analysis of the shadow clone.

"It's almost ready for the next step..." Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, and a large number of harvesting tasks are sent to Muye Village, Feng Xue knows that the opportunity has come...

Chapter 25 Wiring

"Auntie, there is nothing wrong with your foot. It will be fine after two days of training." Feng Xue secretly put a reinforced suture on the broken bone of the aunt, and stated in a tone of pretending that it was only a minor injury.

The middle-aged aunt moved her feet slightly, and found that the pain was indeed not as painful as before. She was relieved immediately, and thanked again and again:

"Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I really don't know..."

"You're welcome, Auntie. Didn't I also get paid?" Feng Xue shook her head and put a few small denomination banknotes into her purse. The warlord daimyo is the actual ruler, but as far as the currency is concerned, it is still unified. The currency unit here is "two". In conversion, one tael is equivalent to about 10 yen, which is about fifty cents.

"That little money is not enough... In this way, it's all over, you can stay for lunch today." Of course, the aunt knew that her little money was far from worthy of the other party's medical skills, but she was a little reluctant to ask her to increase the money, so she simply left the witch for a light meal.

If it was changed to another village, the villagers would definitely not dare to do this, because in their minds, the witches who have mastered extraordinary powers are the superiors, and they are not so proud to invite the superiors to dinner.

But this is not the case in the surrounding villages of Muye Village. It is probably due to the fact that ninjas are often hired to work. They are not so sensitive to extraordinary power. So whoever can run wildly on the water is not for the sake of a few hundred taels for my family. sweet potato?

Feng Xue didn't refuse. Seeing that it was still a while before noon, Feng Xue simply chatted with the aunt:

"Auntie, how did you hurt your foot?"

"How can it hurt? I let the field ridge twist when collecting grain!" The aunt complained, and then said, "I told my man to ask a ninja to collect it. He insisted on caring about the money. Now it's healed. I didn't say I hurt my foot, and I didn't save money..."

"Invite a ninja?" Feng Xue frowned slightly, and the aunt immediately said:

"Yeah, actually it's not expensive, it's only 1000 taels a day, and it works pretty fast, but sometimes it's easy to go wrong when you meet that kind of kid... I'm most afraid of meeting that kind of bad-tempered one, after all, ninjas Well, there are always some..."

Listening to her aunt's chatter, Feng Xue came to her senses. Just half a month ago, Sand Ninja Village had officially declared war on Konoha. At this time, most of the middle and upper ninjas in Konoha Village should have entered a state of combat readiness, and even those lower ninjas with relatively good forces would be recruited.

But Ninja Village is still a mercenary group after all. It is impossible to say that it will completely stop business after a war. Even if it is to bite the bullet and hold on, it must show a look of "even if there is a war, we will not lack manpower", so as to maintain word of mouth. .

So at this time, the ones who can come to take this small order are probably those ninjas who have retired due to injuries or disabilities.

And what Feng Xue was waiting for was undoubtedly these ninjas!

……

The sun slowly rose to the dome, but Feng Xue was still chatting in the yard with the aunt who hurt her feet and was inconvenient to cook. The honest villagers entered Feng Xue's perception.

Following the perception, Feng Xue's eyes were immediately attracted, not because of this villager, but because behind him was a very iconic man!

The ugly green tights, the ugly but shiny hairstyle, and the super thick eyebrows, I believe that anyone who has seen Hokage will not miss this iconic dress.

Even if you watched half of it, before this person appeared on the stage, you should be able to judge the opponent's ability system through this style of painting.

"At first, I wanted to find a casual cruel man, but I didn't expect to touch a big fish!"

Feng Xue thought about the specific way of speaking, and then heard the aunt say loudly in an exaggerated voice:

"I told you to hire a ninja, why are you coming back now? Are you trying to starve me to death or something? Hurry up and cook!"

"..." The middle-aged man didn't refute, but just glanced at Feng Xue in a little surprise, then turned and entered the room, while the aunt finished her expressions at a speed like that of a Sichuan opera, and said to Matt Dai:

"Are you the ninja who took on the mission this time? I hurt my foot, so it's not convenient to entertain you. After dinner, let the head of the house take you to the field."

"It's okay, don't worry about me." Matt Dai gave a thumbs up, showing a toothpaste commercial level of bright white teeth, and then started to push up on the spot.

Feng Xue stood up slightly, and said in a calm tone:

"You're putting a lot of strain on your body by exercising like this."

"47, 48...Thank you for your concern, 49..." Matt Dai responded to Feng Xue while doing push-ups, as if he didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Miss Witch's medical skills are well-known!" Seeing that Matt Dai didn't care about Feng Xue's words, the aunt immediately said, her tone seemed to have received Feng Xue's advertising fee.

"63, I know, but the only thing I can do is this, 69,70, [-]..." Matt Dai was still training, Feng Xue shook her head and said:

"You have accumulated a lot of hidden wounds on your body. If you leave it alone, you will live for another five years at most."

Although Feng Xue's words were exaggerated, she was not lying. Matt Dai had accumulated too many unmentionable diseases due to excessive exercise. As for the five-year lifespan... because in another four years, he will be able to open eight doors!

Matt Dai didn't care about Feng Xue's death sentence, and continued to exercise on his own. Feng Xue didn't talk nonsense about it, and went directly to the topic:

"Stop, I'll treat you."

Without giving Matt Dai any time to react, Feng Xue simply launched his egoism, and then Matt Dai felt his body froze suddenly, followed by continuous stinging pain like being hit head-on by the grass ninja village. .

"Who am I? Where am I? What happened? Who is attacking me?"

Matt Dai only felt that his brain was covered. He could clearly feel countless "things" piercing his body, but he couldn't see anything. There was no bleeding, no injury, and nothing seemed to happen except for the pain. generally.

"Is this treatment?" Matt Dai didn't react with his thick nerves until this time, and tried to turn his head to look at Feng Xue, but found that even his neck had been fixed in this push-up position, and he could only quietly wait for the moment to end.

The aunt didn't seem to notice Matt Dai's abnormality, or after this strange ninja refused to listen, she continued to chat with Feng Xue. In this way, Feng Xue was chatting with the aunt, and Matt Dai was treated by egoism.

Matt Dai finally felt that his body was free again.

Instinctively jumped up from the ground, Maite Dai was startled immediately, because the height of this jump was much higher than he expected!

She just felt that her body suddenly relaxed a lot, that feeling as if countless loads had been lifted, and even gave him the illusion that he could kill a cow with one punch.

"Why?" Matt Dai looked at the witch in front of him with a strange expression, but Feng Xue still maintained that unwavering tone:

"Would there be any reason for a witch to help those in need?

Chapter 26 Tsunade wants to scratch his head

"Old man, are you looking for me?" In the Hokage office building, the third generation, who was in his prime, was flipping through the documents sent by Anbe, but heard a carefree voice in his ears, immediately put down the documents, raised his head and said:

"Tsunate, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't talk about these useless things, hurry up and talk about something!" Tsunade's tone was very casual, Sarutobi Hiruzawa was also quite helpless about this, and he could only hope that time would heal his disciple's wounds.

But at this time, business is still important, so he cleared his throat and said:

"Here's a file for you to look at."

"Miko?" Tsunade took the report and saw the attached photo at a glance. Hearing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded and said:

"A few months ago, the other party entered the country of fire from the country of Sichuan. At that time, he was discovered by a secret sentry on the border, but the tracking failed. When he was discovered again later, he was practicing medicine in a nearby village. It is said that he was a witch who was on a tour. .But considering that the opponent has at least the strength of the Chunin level, and has been active around Konoha, so there has been an Abu surveillance."

"What does this have to do with me?" Tsunade said impatiently, but his eyes did not leave the file.

"There are some things that you need to confirm." Hiruzaru Sarutobi stated his purpose, and before Tsunade could question it, he explained:

"Three days ago, she came into contact with a ninja who went to a nearby village to perform a mission, and gave him 'treatment'."

"Are you worried about her poisoning?" Tsunade felt that the third generation made a big fuss. At this time, the ninja who can be sent out to perform D-level missions are basically guys with no fighting ability. It is thankless to poison them, and even if there is a problem, Just send it to Konoha Hospital, why make her go?

"No, I want to know her methods." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, signaling Tsunade to turn the report to the last page——

"You may not know that Matt wears this ninja, but in fact, he..."

"How could I not know?" Tsunade rolled his eyes at Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and said coldly:

"How many people in Muye Village don't know him? Although it's true that he worked hard, that kind of random exercise method has no other effect except to make himself die faster."

As a doctor, Tsunade is very unhappy with people who don't obey the doctor's orders. Although he works hard, if the direction of his efforts is not right, it will be meaningless.

"It's good if you know." Hiruzaru Sarutobi calmed down his tone a little, and then said, "The witch performed 'treatment' on Maite Dai, and according to the report from Anbu who monitored her, there was indeed an obvious change in Ma Tedai's state. Variety."

"That's impossible!" Tsunade categorically denied, "Maitedai's physical problem is an old injury accumulated by his excessive exercise. Even if I want to treat it, it will take a lot of time to recuperate. It is definitely not a day or two. Compared with treatment, I think the other party is more likely to use stimulants or other means to make him think he has been treated."

"I think so too, so I'm going to ask you to take a look. If she really used stimulants or other means, then her purpose will be intriguing." Hiruza Sarutobi explained to Tsunade in this way, Tsunade Hearing this, he nodded, "I will go."

"I have asked Anbu to inform Matt Dai that you can go directly to the hospital." Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Sand Ninja Village..."

"You don't need to tell me about this. I can't go to the battlefield at all now." Tsunade interrupted Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words, and walked out of Hokage's office without looking back, without giving the other party a chance to persuade him at all.

……

Leaving Hokage's office, she walked towards Konoha Hospital. The area of ​​Konoha Village was not big, and within a few steps, she had already arrived at the place that could almost be said to have been created by her.

"Master Tsunade." Seeing Tsunade coming, the nurses and ninjas at the door all greeted respectfully. After Tsunade nodded in response, he said to the front desk:

"Where's Matt Day?"

"He's in ward 0317 on the third floor." The front desk flipped through the registration book, and immediately replied, Tsunade nodded, and went straight to the ward, and then found... no one?

"Where is the person?" Tsunade returned to the door and looked at the sign on the door of the ward. It is true that the ward worn by Matt is fine, but what about the person?
