Chapter 287
【Yu Liu realized that she seemed to be too excited, and hurriedly apologized to Naruto. At this time, Hinata's exclamation came from the front, and Yu Liu and Naruto stopped talking and rushed over, and then saw a black smoke rising high over Yu Liu's village. 】
【Yu Liu's face changed instantly, and she rushed out without thinking too much, and the others hurried to follow. After rushing out of the jungle, Yu Liu quickly came to the gate of the village, and what she saw was a burning and destroyed village. 】
【Unwilling to believe what she saw, Yu Liu looked around for possible survivors, but when she ran to a high ground, she triggered the trap left by the attacker, and in an instant, the crossbows hidden in the surrounding bushes shot a large number of kunai at her. 】
["What are you making a fuss about? Didn't they know their village was attacked a long time ago?"]
["Although the information revealed is ambiguous, judging from Yu Liu's attitude of not being anxious at all, the previous ninja attack should not have caused much damage to their village!"]
["If that's the case, then there's obviously a problem. It's obvious that this is a bait, and the target is naturally Naruto!"]
["Can this be considered a bait? Whether Naruto comes or not depends entirely on Konoha's arrangements. The enemy can't control this!"]
[Seeing that Yu Liu was about to die in the trap, Dr. Shennong, who was following her, rushed over desperately to pull her away, waving his machete in an attempt to block the kunai that was shot at her. 】
[Unfortunately, the number of kunai exceeded Dr. Shennong's reaction speed. After interrupting his machete, dozens of kunai hit his body, and then he rolled down the stone steps powerlessly and fell into Yu Liu's arms. 】
[Originally, Sakura and the other two who were investigating the surroundings came over following the sound. Doctor Shennong, who was helped up by Yuliu, endured the pain and expressed his appreciation for Yuliu as a disciple in a fragmentary manner. After that, he took off his headscarf and handed it to Yuliu, asking her to find and rescue the villagers. 】
["Ah! Shennong is not going to die like this! Is he a bad guy? It's not determined yet!"]
["He is in such a miserable state, and you still can't determine it?"]
["I say... what are Sakura and Hinata doing? Not to mention Shennong, but how come even Yuliu is faster than them!"]
["You are actually the same as Naruto, you all failed the guarding course, right! How can you let the client run around without following her!"]
["It seems that Yuliu and the others were not clearly stated as the clients. Sakura and the others' mission should be to investigate the cause and effect of the ninja attack in this village. It just happened to be on the way with Doctor Shennong and the others!"]
[ "That's an acceptable explanation..."]
["Speaking of which, Shennong has revealed his true colors... He just arrived at the village, why did he already think that the villagers needed to be saved by others!"]
["Seeing the miserable state of the village, and not finding any bodies, the first reaction must be that they were taken away by the enemy!"]
"How... How could it be..." Yu Liu widened her eyes, trembling as she looked at the bruised Shennong on the sky, stammering, "No... No! I have to find... Teacher Shennong right away!"
As she spoke, Yu Liu planned to leave the retreating team of the villagers and go out to look for Doctor Shennong, but fortunately the village chief who led the group stopped her in time.
"Don't be impulsive, Yu Liu! That's something that will happen in the future. Those ninjas who attacked the village didn't specifically target Doctor Shen Nong. Besides, you don't know where he is now. You'd better hide with us and let Doctor Shen Nong come to us later!"
The village chief's persuasion calmed Yu Liu down. She took a few deep breaths and murmured to comfort herself: "Yes, yes! It's okay, Teacher Shen Nong will be fine... If it doesn't work, I can still go to Konoha to issue tasks..."
[After explaining the aftermath, Doctor Shen Nong slowly closed his eyes. Although Sakura tried to perform emergency treatment, it was a pity that Doctor Shen Nong still lost his breath in Yu Liu's crying. ]
["Teacher Shen Nong is my lifesaver... I was an abandoned baby. When I was suffering from an unknown disease, no one in the village was willing to take care of me. However... Teacher Shen Nong risked being infected to treat me." Yu Liu told Naruto and the others about her past. Although it was just some ordinary experiences, it was not difficult to hear how deep her feelings for Doctor Shen Nong were. 】
【After that, everyone buried Doctor Shennong. Yu Liu stood silently in front of his grave. After a while, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry bitterly. 】
["...He died so quickly. Compared with those who were still alive and kicking after being stabbed in the chest,I'm still a little uncomfortable with this!"]
["This man is dead, so now we can be sure that he's a good guy!"]
["Hey, I suddenly remembered something. Didn't the doctor that Orochimaru asked Sasuke to find master some forbidden regeneration technique? If Shennong is this doctor, then can this place still be alive?"]
["At least the regeneration technique has to work on living people. If it works on dead people, then it's not a regeneration technique but a resurrection technique!"]
["What if it's just fake death? After all, it's not surprising that a doctor who can research the forbidden regeneration technique has some fake death skills!"]
["Faked death can be hidden from Sakura, a medical ninja? What a brilliant skill that must be! ”]
[“I have no hope...without Shen Nong teacher by my side...I can’t keep trying...” Yu Liu took off his headscarf while crying, and then held the headscarf given to him by Doctor Shen Nong, and said to himself sadly and frustratedly: “I haven’t told the teacher anything...anything...”]
[Naruto and the other two standing at the edge of the forest not far away deeply felt Yu Liu’s sadness, but the most urgent task was to find out what happened in the village first.]
[So under Hinata’s analysis and Sakura’s suggestion, the three of them split up and went to the nearby area to look for traces of the enemy.]
[“This kid has a very poor psychological endurance. He feels that he is no longer capable without his teacher. He even dared to look down on ninjas so brazenly before!”]
[“Before experiencing setbacks, everyone probably thinks that they are the most amazing! ”]
[“Look, Naruto and the others had no intention of protecting Yu Liu. To be honest, their mission was to escort Shen Nong and the others to this village, so Shen Nong’s death really can’t be blamed on them!”]
