With Kento Kojima leading the way, the group soon entered the island along a secret path.

As the group went deeper, the dense jungle gradually became sparse, and the number of dilapidated rocks became more and more numerous.

Not long after, the greenery disappeared in front of everyone, and a relatively empty area appeared in front of everyone.

Rows of stone huts are neatly arranged in the center of the area, with many figures walking around.

Watanabe Toru understood that this should be the village where Taketo Kojima is located.

Several days have passed, and the traces of the Kong Ninja attack are still obvious. As everyone gets closer, Watanabe Toru and the others clearly see that many stone houses have collapsed.

Traces of the explosion can be seen everywhere in this village, and the ground is filled with dense holes.

The appearance of Toru Watanabe and others immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.

Even with Taketo Kojima leading the way, there were still many wary and hostile looks coming from the surrounding corners.

"Village Chief, these are the bounty hunters who came in exchange for money. They came here to investigate the matter of Kong Ninja!"

Taketo Kojima introduced Toru Watanabe and others to the village chief.

The village chief here is a sturdy middle-aged man with a beard who looks very calm.

When the man saw the strange combination of Toru Watanabe, three people, a boy, a child and a young woman, he instinctively frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Watanabe Toru told Kojima Kento that he was a bounty hunter, but he did not dare to doubt it under the coercion of force before.

The village chief in front of him obviously didn't believe what Taketo Kojima said, but out of caution, the man didn't say anything more about it.

Among the three people, the village chief could tell at a glance that Toru Watanabe was the leader.

Men dare not underestimate young people.

There are all kinds of capable people in the ninja world who dare to run around with a woman and a child. If Toru Watanabe didn't have some special abilities, he wouldn't believe it.

Anyway, as long as he has no ill intentions towards the village, he doesn't want to cause trouble.

The identity of the doctor who came to the village a few days ago is also suspicious, but it is an indisputable fact that he treated many villagers injured in the attack.

As long as it is helpful to the village and beneficial to the villagers, there are some things that he can only turn a blind eye to.

After communicating with the village chief, Toru Watanabe learned that the man in front of him was named Kenta Jushima.

By investigating the origins of Kong Ninja, Watanabe Toru also asked about the history of this village.

Sure enough, as Taketo Kojima said, they all moved here after hearing a rumor more than ten years ago.

Kenta Toshima was still a young man when the village was transferred. No one knows the origin and development of the village better than him.

Kenta Todoshima’s words also confirmed Toru Watanabe’s guess.

Especially shortly after hearing that the village was attacked by Kong Ninja, a doctor who called himself Shen Nong came to the island.

From then on, everything here corresponded to the plot in Toru Watanabe's memory.

Shennong?!

As the leader of the remnants of Kong Ninja, he has been hiding his origins and walking in the Ninja world as a doctor for decades.

Just a few years ago, Shennong sneaked into Konoha and obtained a forbidden scroll about artificial tailed beasts and dark chakra through unknown means.

Konoha has been secretly investigating the theft of the Forbidden Technique Scroll, until recently there were clues pointing to the long-lost Kong Ninja.

Hiruzen Sarutobi attaches great importance to the connection between the theft of forbidden arts and the Sky Ninja. After all, he had personally experienced the Sky Ninja attack on the five major countries.

Investigating air ninjas and investigating forbidden arts are both extremely dangerous and long-term tasks. It just so happened that Toru Watanabe needed to be dispatched. The Sandaime thought about it and handed the task directly to Toru Watanabe without much hesitation.

Toru Watanabe is also very interested in Shennong.

Apart from his name, this guy deserves a bit of a beating, both in terms of scheming and strength, he cannot be underestimated.

After listening to Kenta Todoshima’s introduction to Shennong, Toru Watanabe decisively proposed that he want to meet Shennong.

Kenta Toushima did not refuse Toru Watanabe's request. Extraordinary people naturally have a common language with extraordinary talents.

As an ordinary person, Kenta Toshima knows very well that he cannot fit into the other person's circle.

Under the guidance of Kenta Jushima, several people soon arrived at Shennong's temporary residence.

Watanabe Toru looked at the building in front of him. Although it was a so-called temporary residence, the residence in front of him looked a bit like a temple. It was undoubtedly the most luxurious building in the village.

Just by looking at this, Toru Watanabe knew how much the villagers respected Shennong.

Toru Watanabe and the other three were waiting outside the door. Kenta Jushima stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a red-haired girl about the same age as Shiro came out.

Kenta Jushima touched the girl's head and asked if Shennong was in the temple. After getting the exact answer, Kenta Jushima said something to the little girl, and the girl nodded and immediately returned to the temple.

Watanabe Toru and the others were not kept waiting for too long. Soon, the temple door opened again.

A middle-aged man with gray hair who looked to be in his fifties came out.

The man is tall, wearing a bowl-top cloth hat and a linen robe. He looks in good spirits, and his soft eyes make people feel more approachable.

"This is Watanabe-kun. You are really young and promising. I have never met many bounty hunters like you in my many years of walking in the ninja world."

With a kind smile on his face, Shen Nong walked up to a few people without any precautions.

Watanabe Toru nodded and said with the same smile:

"I heard from the village chief that as a doctor, my senior walked in the ninja world regardless of danger to save lives and heal the wounded. He is really a role model for our generation."

The two complimented each other, and soon Shennong invited everyone to sit in the temple.

Several people entered the temple one by one. In the hall, Chizuru Koyuki and Bai Yi sat down next to Toru Watanabe.

Shennong and Kenta Todoshima sat down. The little red-haired girl who opened the door came over with a few cups of tea and put them on the table. Then she walked to Shennong and sat down at the back of Shennong.

The little girl tilted her body from behind Shennong and looked at Tetsu Watanabe and the others curiously. While the girl was curious, her eyes were also wary.

Just when Kenta Todoshima came in to inquire, he said that the origins of the three people outside were unknown. Although they said they were bounty hunters, they were not sure of their actual identities.

"Who is this?"

Watanabe Toru looked at the red-haired little girl.

Shennong turned his head and glanced at the girl, then introduced with a smile: "

"This is Yu Liu, I just received a disciple. A few days ago, the Kong ninja attacked the village, Yu Liu was slightly injured, and I happened to come to the island."

"When I was treating Yu Liu, I learned that Yu Liu had lost her family. I happened to be older, so I felt very close to Yu Liu when I saw her, so I accepted her as my disciple, hoping to pass on my medical skills."

"That's it!"

Watanabe Toru nodded,

"I don't know how Yu Liu is recovering from his injuries now. I also know some medical ninjutsu. If you don't mind, I can check Yu Liu."

After Toru Watanabe finished speaking, the little girl named Yu Liu's face immediately became stern, and then she curled her lips, as if she didn't even care about Toru Watanabe.

After hearing what Toru Watanabe said, Shennong was stunned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Shen Nong reacted in the next second and laughed loudly.

"It's Yu Liu's honor that Watanabe-kun cares about Yu Liu. As long as Watanabe-kun doesn't mind, it's naturally okay."

Shennong didn't know what kind of medicine Watanabe Toru was selling in the jar. He raised his hand to signal Yu Liu. The little girl pouted and reluctantly got up and came to Watanabe Tetsu.

Toru Watanabe pretended not to see the girl's hostile look.

Grabbing the girl's hand, Watanabe Toru passed some chakra and checked the girl's body.

The first inspection found nothing.

Watanabe Toru raised his eyebrows. Apart from the girl's own chakra, there was no other alien chakra in the girl's body!

Watanabe Toru continued to check without giving up, feeling the other party's chakra running around in his body, and Yu Liu became obviously unhappy.

"Teacher's medical skills are beyond your imagination. My injury has been cured long ago. What can you detect!"

Yu Liu broke away from Toru Watanabe's hand angrily, and at the moment when the girl was angry, Toru Watanabe was keenly aware of a dark chakra emerging from the other person's chest.

Although the dark chakra is fleeting, Toru Watanabe will not think that it is his illusion.

Now that his conjecture was verified, Watanabe Tetsuya did not force Yu Liu to check again.

"Yuliu, were you injured in the heart before?"

"That's right!"

Yu Liu ran up behind Shennong, raised her neck and stuck out her tongue at Watanabe Toru.

In the previous attack by the Kong Ninja, Yu Liu only suffered a slight skin injury. The injury Shen Nong personally treated her was not from the Kong Ninja attack, but a strange disease on her body.

Before the Kong Ninja attack, Yu Liu had a strange tumor on his heart.

The tumor was very ugly and caused her intense pain. The doctors in the village were completely helpless against this disease. By the time the Kong Ninja attacked the village, she was already terminally ill.

But just as Yu Liu was dying, Shennong came to the village.

The arrival of Shennong not only healed the villagers' injuries, but also snatched Yu Liu back from the hands of death.

Yu Liu, who had been an orphan since she was a child, felt the love and care from outsiders for the first time, so after her condition improved, she stayed with Shennong.

Naturally, Yu Liu would not tell Toru Watanabe about these things. For Yu Liu, the scar left after the tumor was removed from her heart has special meaning.
