The next morning.

The sun is shining brightly, the moist fog rarely appears, and the warm sunshine in spring shines on the world.

In the Konoha camp, after Nara Shikaku finished processing the accumulated scrolls, he turned around and took out some fruits and snacks from the tent in his hands. After calling Yamanaka Haiichi, the two of them headed towards the Medical Ninja Clinic

Walk around the area where you live.

After inquiring about Akimichi Choza and Metkai's lounge, Nara Shikaku carried the fruit and walked over.

In the patient's lounge.

Akimichi Tingza lay down comfortably on the hospital bed, taking out snacks from the side and putting them in his mouth to chew. It was so leisurely.

Metkai's legs in white plasters were facing upwards, with his hands on the ground doing rehabilitation exercises and push-ups, with heavy sweat streaming down his red face from time to time.

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Haiichi walked in carrying fruits and asked with a smile: "Douza, Kai, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I can continue training!!"

Metkai jumped up from the ground first, with a serious look on his face.

After emergency treatment by medical ninjas, although chakra could not be condensed in a short time, the broken bones had begun to repair.

As for the fragmentation of the chakra tendons, the medical ninjas in the camp have no choice. With their current methods, they cannot perform such a delicate operation as repairing the chakra tendons.

The only one who could do it was Tsunade-hime who was far away in the Land of Wind.

After placing the fruits and snacks on the counter, Nara Shikaku stepped forward and said, "Ding-zu, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."

Akimichi Dingzao was stunned for a moment, put down the fruit in his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go out and talk."

Before leaving, Nara Shikaku gave Yamanaka Hai a look and walked out of the lounge.

Yamanaka Haiichi nodded vaguely and walked towards Metkai with a kind smile on his face.

Outside the lounge, the two came to an uninhabited area.

call……

The gentle breeze blows in the spring, bringing a sense of comfort and pleasure.

Nara Shikaku asked in an unusually serious tone: "Ding Zao, Matt Dai left the village privately. Lord Hokage said that he would no longer pursue the matter and gave him the status and funeral he deserved after taking into account the special nature of the mission."

"At the same time, the whereabouts of the bounty hunter Kakuzu and the boy have also been classified as top secret information by the village."

A look of surprise flashed across Akimichi Dingzao's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand. It would be great if the village could give Dai his due status."

After learning that Matt Dai left the village privately, Akimichi Tingzao felt very anxious during this period.

On the one hand, Matt Dai is his savior.

On the other hand, he was afraid that because of Matt Dai's bad behavior of leaving the village privately, the village would decide that he was not worthy of entering Konoha's cemetery.

But fortunately, Konoha and Hokage are no longer pursuing this matter, so Matt Dai has what he deserves after his death.

In this case, he can feel at ease.

Nara Shikaku nodded: "You don't have to worry about Metkai's injury. Tsunade-sama has promised to heal him after knowing the specific mission."

"Great, then Kai can continue to be a ninja!"

Hearing the good news coming one after another, Akimichi Dingzao's innocent face showed a look of surprise.

"But if Kai becomes a ninja again, will that boy be interested in him again?"

"Dingzuo, are you saying that the boy next to Kakuzu is interested in Metkai?"

Nara Shikaku, who had not heard the news from Akimichi Choza before, was a little surprised.

"Ah, yes, in the conversation between that boy and Kai, he expressed that he wanted to fight Kai who had opened the Eight Gates of Dunjia."

Akimichi Tingza scratched his head, and with some embarrassment told the information he had forgotten to report before, and sighed: "The boy could have easily killed all of us at that time, but he didn't do that, as if we were even alive.

Even if you come down, you won't be able to hinder him."

Nara Shikaku recorded the news in his heart with a solemn expression, and thought to himself: "It seems that the boy is very familiar with the Eight Gates Dungeon Forbidden Technique, or he is very familiar with Konoha!"

"Is it a traitorous ninja from the past or someone else's subordinate?"

Akimichi Tingza hesitated for a moment and said: "Shikaku, I would like to ask when Tsunade-sama will come over to treat Kai."

Nara Shikaku explained: "As for this matter, I have already started arranging medical ninjas to do it. Metkai will be transferred to the Kingdom of Wind for treatment."

"Due to the current war, Tsunade-sama can only stay in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Okay, then I'll go tell that good news to that boy Kai first. He will definitely be very happy!"

Looking at Akimichi Choza's leaving back, Nara Shikaku sighed, his lazy eyes gradually becoming sharper.

The appearance of a boy named "Yakumo" and the bounty hunter Kakuzu in Kirigakure's country undoubtedly represents some kind of signal.

The last attack on Iwagakure caused heavy losses to Iwagakure, one of the five great ninja villages.

So what will happen to Kirigakure Village this time?

Thinking of Kirigakure's recent frequent attacks and assassinations, Nara Shikaku vaguely felt like he understood something.

After turning back to the tent and instructing some ninjas to sneak into Kirigakure Village to monitor every move, Nara Shikamaru continued to handle things and report.

…………………………………………

The land of water.

"Shasha..."

As dusk approaches in the night, as subtle sounds resound in the sky, the white snowflakes gradually fall, covering the earth with a layer of snow-white silver.

It is obviously the warm season of spring, but cold snowflakes have fallen under the unpredictable weather of the Water Kingdom.

In the quiet town, the people living here were walking around with their heads down and minding their own business, without any conversation, just like walking zombies.

Even the vendors on the street looked indifferent, as if they were not worried about the arrival of customers at all.

Hinata looked at the surrounding cultural environment for a moment and said softly: "The atmosphere in this country really makes people feel weird and cold."

This is already the case in the Kingdom of Water before the blood mist policy is implemented. If those cruel policies are implemented in the future, this country may really decline and close itself off like the original novel.

Kakuzu's bloodthirsty and cruel eyes glared at a thief with ill intentions. After scaring him away, he sneered and said: "This country has always been like this. Those cruel ninja selection systems are their characteristics."

"The country with the most rebellion is also from the country of water."

Because of the cold and bloody ninja system and training system of the Water Kingdom, the number of rebellious ninjas in their country was several times that of other countries.

At the same time, once you pass the bloody system and training, you will definitely be a stronger ninja than you were at the same time.

This is the cold, ruthless, cruel, and bloody Kirigakure Village.

The selfishness of human nature can be said to be vividly demonstrated here.

Hinata chuckled briefly, took out a letter and scroll from his arms, and said: "Let's go to the place arranged by Black Zetsu-senpai to rest."

"As expected, someone will come to pick us up tomorrow!"

Kakuzu muttered with an unhappy look on his face: "That guy Hei Zetsu really comes and goes without a trace. He promised to provide wanted information before, but now he has disappeared."

After walking around the street for a while, the two came to a shop that looked like a hotel. After handing the letter and scroll sent by Hei Jue to the hotel owner, he immediately and respectfully invited the two of them to rest.

At the same time, a series of important information about the recent events in the Kingdom of Water was also sent.

In the spacious room, Hinata Setsuna was lying on the sofa with a relaxed expression, casually picking up information and reading it.

"Did the Seven Ninja Swordsmen rebel? Juuzou Loquat defected to Kirigakure Village!"

"Heh, it seems that even though the Black Hoe Thunder Fang is missing, not much has changed."

Of the seven remaining Ninja Swordsmen, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon continued to stay in Kirigakure Village with small intentions, while Loquat Juuzou defected and fled the village neatly.

All of a sudden, Kirigakure Village, which was currently engaged in a war, suffered heavy losses. As a last resort, they had no choice but to start shrinking their frontline troops.

Especially since only one of the seven ninja swords in their village is left.

After flipping through the remaining intelligence materials, Hinata soon lost interest. He looked up at the completely darkened night sky outside the window, and he also had a plan.

He closed his eyes and his mind began to sink into the forbidden space.

The barren white land, with luxurious palaces standing on it.

As soon as Hinata Setsuna's figure appeared, she was held in her arms by a pair of white jade hands, and her lazy and enchanting words rang out.

"Why would the bad boy think of looking for a concubine today?"

The fatal question shot into Hinata Setsuna's heart like an arrow to the heart, and cold sweat flowed faintly on his forehead.

"I work hard to accompany you every day!"

Hinata moved her body in an instant and turned around, and diligently took Kaguya Otsutsuki's small white hand.

"Grandma, how about I come and rub your hands today?"

"Come on, are you looking down on my physique?"

Otsutsuki Kaguya hit Hinata Setsuna's forehead with a snap of her fingers, leaving a red mark.

"hey-hey."
