Fifteen minutes later…
Zhixue followed Shisui and many Anbu who followed up, surrounding the Ibri clan's cave and the surrounding villages and towns. However, after a large-scale search, no trace of Orochimaru was found.
"Report to Captain Shisui, except for the smoke and blood stains in many places, Orochimaru was not found at the scene."
"Okay, let's continue searching a few times and try not to miss every clue."
"Yes!"
After the Anbu left, the scene became busy again, and Zhixue followed Zhisui around the place again, looking for some other ideas, but unfortunately he didn't gain much.
With the news of the failure of the hunt, Shisui returned to Konoha with Zhiyuki. At the same time, the curse mark on Yukijian was sealed by Shisui, because Yukijian had almost no value to Orochimaru. Don't worry too much, just leave the rest to Sky Burial.
Shisui temporarily went to the Hokage Building to return to life, but just when Shisui thought he had nothing to do and could go home to eat, sleep, and have a good night's sleep after completing the mission, he was pulled hard by Shisui's shadow clone. When he arrived at the garrison's infirmary, he underwent a comprehensive examination.
"Hey, I'm really not hurt."
"No, I have to go once. It's so dangerous for you to go out this time. How can you not get hurt?" Shisui's shadow clone said very forcefully. When he rushed over, he saw several blood-stained bandages on Zhixue's side. This disobedient little girl doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart every day.
However, when Zhixue's test report came out a few hours later, it was indeed nothing serious. If there was a problem, it might be anemia and a little weak.
Dr. Ryoichi: "Be in control!"
Zhixue: "Control your sister!"
Zhixue resisted the urge to beat up the quack doctor in front of her and tore the test report about kidney deficiency into two halves. She couldn't help but rush out a few times since the first day of time travel. It's as serious as the report says.
Ding, in the period of weakness after the movie-level experience card, due to the interference of the system's supernatural abilities, too many things that are not consistent with common sense may lead to misdiagnosis by ordinary doctors, but it may also be the host's own factors, ahem...
After apologizing to the doctor, Zhi Shui's shadow clone pulled the aggrieved Zhi Xue out of the infirmary. However, Zhi Shui's eyes changed when he looked at Zhi Xue. It was a complex emotion that Zhi Xue could not understand.
Shisui: I said you are 14 years old, why are you still so short? The original reason lies here.
Zhixue looked at Zhishui's caring eyes and felt that her delicate and rosy little face was heating up rapidly, as if steam was roaring on both sides of Zhixue.
Is she really weak?
"I'm back, what are the test results?" After reporting the information to the Hokage, Shisui landed in front of the two of them and asked.
Zhisui's shadow clone showed a helpless expression, then spread its hands and disappeared into the air.
Shisui:…
That night, Shisui took Zhixue to the Nara clan's traditional Chinese medicine store.
"Hey, it's Konoha's famous Shunshen Shisui. What brought you here today?" Nara Mizuno, who was sitting on the counter of the drugstore, looked at Shisui who walked into the store and asked politely.
"Well...it's just that someone among the ANBU is a little sick. He is currently on a mission, so he can't come over. He needs my help to get some medicine."
Zhixue:……
"That's right. Has the patient come here? Or you can give a detailed description of the condition, but if the condition is very serious, you still have to go to the hospital. We are a traditional Chinese medicine store here, and it is better to treat chronic diseases." Nara Saltwater's expression It's a little strange, it feels like things are not simple.
"emm...it's kidney deficiency. Is there any treatment plan?"
"Kidney deficiency?" Nara Mizuno heard this word, and after recalling what Shisui said about Anbu, he reacted instantly.
Isn't this talking about Moonlight Blast? Kidney deficiency + dark part.
"Can you tell me the symptoms in detail?"
Zhisui thought for a while, and then used the memory of the shadow clone to recall what the doctor wrote on the examination report at that time, and accurately reproduced it on a piece of paper.
Soon, Nara Saltwater saw the specific situation, grabbed a few pairs of medicines, wrapped them carefully, and wrote down the matching prescription.
After saying thank you, Shisui walked out of the pharmacy, but when he just walked out of the door, he couldn't help but ask Nara Salt Water.
"Is this medicine unisex?"
"Don't worry, the dosage is very mild. As long as there are no other naturally conflicting diseases, it can be taken by men, women, old and young."
Shisui was temporarily relieved after hearing that it could be used. Then he couldn't help but knock Zhixue on the small head.
"Your body is your own, and you can't mess with it like this in the future, you know?"
Zhixue:……
She really doesn't have kidney deficiency, really.
After returning home, it was already close to one o'clock in the morning. Due to Zhixue's health, she managed to get Zhishui to take a few days off for her, which allowed Zhixue to sleep comfortably and naturally. He woke up, but when he saw the bowl of dark medicinal soup on Shisui's hand and the unpleasant smell floating in the whole house, Zhixue couldn't help but hugged Shisui's arm and prepared to start. The ultimate skill—acting cute and coquettishly.
"Onii-chan~ Zhixue is so cute (≧▽≦), can you not drink it...it hurts! Wrong, wrong..." Zhixue, who had two more red marks on his forehead, was about to cry without tears and swallowed the bitter and sticky taste. Drink the medicinal soup. The unbearable taste is like the ultimate dark dish made of dried chili peppers, sesame seeds, undercooked hawthorns and some inedible licorice. Fortunately, it's just a weird smell, so I can tolerate it and get over it. .
Zhishui couldn't help but sigh after watching Zhixue actually drink the medicine.
"Being a brother requires a lot of worries, but who makes my sister so cute?"
Chapter 30 New Mission
"A, how's the mission going?"
On the dark and deep viaduct, Danzo said in a deep voice with his back to the sky burial.
"I'm sorry...the enemy's ability is very strange, I made a mistake." Sky Burial half-knelt on the ground and said calmly.
However, Danzo didn't blame him. He was just a wood escape ninja. Even with the Tongue Bane Curse, he couldn't be severely punished with sky burial.
"You know, there is no such thing as a ninja failing a mission, but it is reasonable. I will give you a small fault first, and I will make up for it in future missions."
Sky Burial also looked happy when he heard what Danzo said.
"Thank you, Danzo-sama!"
"Don't be too happy so early. Although Orochimaru failed, the laboratory he left behind is still a very important intelligence and research resource. I have assigned you two tasks. I hope you can complete them perfectly this time."
"Kai must dedicate all his strength to the roots and Konoha!"
Danzo turned his head to see Sky Burial with such a conscious look, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he raised his bandaged eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan, which made the Sky Burial look on his face. shock.
Isn't the Sharingan only possessed by the Uchiha clan? How come Danzo-sama can...
"In a few days, there will be a secret mission with Hatake Kakashi to clean up Orochimaru's remaining laboratory around Konoha. In addition to intercepting the things Orochimaru left, you also have to help me find such an identical Eye."
Sky Burial's expression was shocked, the eyes were exactly the same, were they talking about Kakashi's Sharingan? But isn't Kakashi also a ninja of Konoha? Why…
"Lord Danzo..."
"A, don't ask if you shouldn't ask! This time I will send B to follow you to help you handle the task." Danzo waved his hand seriously, and a root appeared next to the sky burial.
"Lord Danzo..."
"Okay, this is the task given to you two. I hope you can handle it well." After Danzo handed over the task, he left here, leaving the confused Sky Burial and an unknown ninja alone. here…
B saw that A seemed worried, so he walked over and poked him.
"Please give me some advice, A."
"Please...please give me more advice, Senior B..."
Sky Burial looked at Danzo who was walking further and further into the distance until he disappeared into the shadows, and his mood seemed a little unpleasant.
Hokage Building…
"You mean the bodies at the scene turned into smoke and disappeared shortly after you arrived?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in disbelief after listening to the report from the Anbu.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, so we were unable to extract their brain memories during their lifetimes, but we found signs of large-scale water escape in that cave. Visually, it would take a water escape team to leave such a Traces. But besides this, there is a very strange place in it."
At this point, Anbu's voice paused.
"Keep talking."
"Yes, when we were at the scene, when we finally disconnected the traces, we found the footprints of another person besides Orochimaru, so we determined that there is a certain probability that Orochimaru, who was rescued by someone, escaped here, but that person The anti-tracking ability is very strong, we haven’t found a single clue, but there is also the possibility of time and space ninjutsu.”
"Is this so..." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and asked the ANBU to retreat. Then he called Kakashi over and gave him the task of cleaning up the laboratory left behind by Orochimaru. However, due to Kakashi's unrecovered injury, it had to be postponed for several days.
After Kakashi left, Danzo Shimura came to the Hokage's office of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Sarutobi, my department has received several bad incidents where the police force enforced the law too strictly. I feel that we can't delay it any longer."
"Okay, don't talk to me about the Uchiha clan anymore. I feel a headache when I hear this. The Uchiha clan has already discovered our actions of monitoring them. The rope has been ignited, but the gunpowder has not reached the bottom yet. Isn’t it?”
"Hmph, what if the flames lasted until then? Have you forgotten the Nine-Tails Rebellion five years ago? Don't forget how Lake Biwa died!"
"Enough, Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, stood up, and looked into Danzo's eyes. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce into the other's flesh.
Finally, after a long silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and turned his head to look at the majestic and sacred Hokage Rock.
"The Uchiha clan is not out of Konoha's control yet, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. Moreover, the intelligence reported from one dozen to seven says that clan leader Uchiha Fugaku has not yet planned a coup?"
"Although One-on-Seven is your ANBU, don't forget that he is also Uchiha Fugaku's son. He can become your spy and maybe he can also bite Konoha in turn."
"One against seven, I know... He has a strong will of fire just like Shisui, and will not make the decision to betray Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the cigarette rod beside him and said in a deep voice.
"I believe Uchiha Shisui, but there are a lot of doubts about his sister. I think I can pull it to my base and let me check it out."
"Uchiha Zhiyuki?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and then recalled the coincidence of Zhixue's mission and Orochimaru's successful defection.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed doubtful, but it may be safer to leave this matter to Shisui.
"Sarutobi? You threw this person to me last time. If I ask you for it this time, you won't refuse to give it to me, right?" Danzo said in a buzzing voice, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughtful look.
"Although there are many doubts about her, and her strength and talent are not as good as those of ordinary people, she is also the sister of Uchiha Shisui and the descendant of our old friend Uchiha Kagami. It may not be appropriate to arrange to enter an absolutely dark place like the root. How about Let’s put it in the ANBU and examine it first.”
"Well, I hope you can get some useful information." Sarutobi Hiruzen has already made it this far, and Danzo didn't say anything more. If he had a falling out with Monkey, he wouldn't feel good either. Then he turned and left the Hokage's office.
In the middle of the night at this time, Zhixue didn't know what happened in the Hokage's office. After eating a simple dinner made by Shisui and going to the bathroom to explore some profound knowledge, Zhixue, wearing a bath towel, He sat on the sofa with erratic steps.
After wiping the dried blood on his nose, Zhixue felt a little dizzy.
After Zhixue finished washing, Zhisui walked into the bathroom with a basin and bath towel, and when closing the door, he did not forget to say to Zhixue: "Okay, it's already early in the morning, go to bed quickly, even if you are a ninja, You also need to have a good rest to grow taller.”
"I know, my current height is only temporary, and I will grow up sooner or later." Zhixue said and rubbed the two small hills in front of his chest. Although the feeling was a little worse, it was still very cute, okay? good.
But now is not the time to think about this. It’s better to hurry up and collect the mission rewards. It’s been so long, and I can finally be strong. Hehe...
Chapter 31 ANBU
"System, start collecting rewards." In the quiet and peaceful Zhisui mansion in the middle of the night, Zhixue secretly opened a crack and saw that Zhisui was sleeping soundly. Then he returned to his little bed with peace of mind and said to the system.
Ding, remind the host that if you suddenly acquire a large amount of chakra, it may arouse the suspicion of others. It is recommended to purchase a multi-functional chakra hider, which can hide the excess chakra. Even a medical ninja cannot detect the situation. .
Hearing this, Zhixue probably knew that the system was tricking her into taking out her wallet again.
Ding, host, please don't slander the system. The things sold by this system are absolutely worth the money and fair.
