"With Ino here, Zuosuke-kun should be fine. They left relatively late and will probably come back a few days later than us." He could only speculate based on common sense and comfort Naruto.
Naruto punched the wall in frustration. He was fighting desperately, but at this damn time, he abandoned his friends and ran back like a deserter. This feeling was extremely unpleasant.
Waited for another two days.
Ino and the others are also back.
Except for Zuozhu, whose face was a little pale, the other three had no major problems.
Ino's immortal body recovered very quickly, and no new wounds on his forehead could be seen in the area of the ninja's forehead protector.
Choji ate fish for two days and gained a little bit of fat. He was still very thin, but there was no problem with his mobility.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, just come back, tear up the suicide note, return this Death Rosary to you, and the rest has nothing to do with me!
"What? Moonlight Hayate didn't come back?! Then where did he go?" After receiving this news from Minato, Ino was also surprised. How could it be possible? A living person who was perfectly fine just disappeared like that?
"Is it possible that he is still in Loulan City?" Minato asked.
When Ino was in Loulan, she had been meditating to recuperate, studying the golden samsara eye. Without understanding the situation, she looked at Shikamaru and Zuosuke.
These two spirited young men wandered around the city several times.
Both of them were shaking their heads.
Shikamaru said: "Lord Hokage, all three of them were injured. After the Loulan survivors evacuated, I conducted a special reconnaissance. There is no one in the city, let alone Senior Hayate."
Minato scratched his head: "Then where will Hayate go? Sigh... How am I going to tell Xiyan about this?"
Even Ino couldn't give an answer.
But she had a guess in her mind.
Twenty years ago, three groups of people went to Loulan, namely Hokage Minato, Ino's rescue team, and Otsutsuki Ura Shiki.
If Moonlight Hayate had not returned to the original time point, then he probably... went to Urashiki's time point, and to a more distant future.
Of course, this is just her guess. Whether it is true or not requires careful study.
Minato could wait for Ino in Loulan for two days, but he could no longer wait for Moonlight Hayate here. He had to return to the village immediately.
If he hadn't come back in time and moved to Koharu, Mito Monobu would have discussed with the Daimyo the selection of the Sixth Hokage.
Coupled with the sudden coma of Kakashi, Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shimi, people in the village were panicked, and he had to go back immediately to stabilize people.
He left Naruto and Shizune in Loulan and used the Flying Thunder God to return to the village. Before leaving, he told Ino: "I'll leave it to you to take care of Moonlight Hayate."
Ino nodded: "I'll try my best."
...
Moonlight Hayate has been in Loulan City. He watched Namikaze Minato, Naruto and Shizune disappear, but he couldn't make a sound. He was like a transparent person, trapped in the gap between two tight air walls.
Later, Ino came back with Urashiki's tattered clothes, Shikamaru went fishing, Choji was busy helping grill the fish, and Sasuke was practicing alone. These scenes all fell into his eyes.
He was so anxious, what the hell was this! He tried to shout and punch the surrounding air walls, trying to attract Ino and the others' attention. Unfortunately, Ino didn't see him at all.
After Ino left with the three of them, he was completely desperate. He couldn't go back, right? I hope Xiyan won't be too sad after hearing the news.
I don't know how long it took.
One day, he suddenly found that he was hallucinating.
He seemed to have come to the lake again, and there was a thin figure in a white robe and blue hair sitting by the lake, holding a fishing rod.
"Impossible, you are already dead! Miss Yamanaka killed you with her own hands!" he said sternly.
Otsutsuki Urashiki smiled sarcastically: "Death? Sorry, the Otsutsuki clan does not have this concept. But...I really don't have much power left..."
Moonlight Hayate shouted, pulled out his katana, and stabbed Otsutsuki Ura's body three times.
Urashiki laughed: "What are you doing? Where do you think I am? Use your brain and think about it carefully. If you can't see my body and confirm that I am really dead, how could that greedy woman leave?"
I am in your memory."
"Memory?" Moonlight Gale was confused. How should we deal with this?
Urashiki looked at Moonlight Hayate. Fortunately, he had left this backup plan when they first met, otherwise he would have been completely doomed.
"You are a very good ninja, Moonlight Hayate, I admire you very much." Ura Shiki's voice was gloomy, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Ushiki suddenly teleported in front of him, put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and hit his forehead.
Moonlight Hayate felt that the chakra that the other party had taken away with the fishing rod that day had returned, but it seemed that there was something else mixed in with the chakra.
"Moonlight Gale, we will meet again..."
Ushiki turned into light smoke before his eyes and disappeared completely.
Without this last bit of restraint, Moonlight Gale also returned to his own time point one minute later, and was discovered by Konoha ninjas in a valley thirty miles west of Loulan.
"Otsutsuki Ura Shiki is not dead! He seems to have done something in my body. I don't know what it is, but it must be something bad! Cough cough cough! If necessary... cough cough, please kill him
Me, don’t hesitate! Don’t let me betray the village!”
Moonlight Hayate felt uncomfortable all over his body, and something seemed to be taking root in his head, but he couldn't stop it. He told Shizune, who was in charge of search and rescue, all the information he knew, and then fainted.
】
Shizune checked carefully and then informed Ino.
"You found it now? I thought he went to the future..."
"Look here."
Shizune motioned to Ino to look at Moonlight Hayate's left hand.
There was a very conspicuous black diamond-shaped mark on the palm of Moonlight Hayate's hand: "Hayate's physical recovery is much better than expected. The only extra thing is this. I checked it and there is an extremely strange chakra in it."
This is the wedge of the Otsutsuki clan? This is Ino's first time seeing this thing.
The Otsutsuki clan digitized themselves, copying all their information like a backup file, compressing it using a "wedge" method, and driving it into an intelligent life, which they called a "vessel".
When the data in the "wedge" is decompressed to a certain extent, the large tube wood that entered the data can be reborn from the body of the "vessel".
The Otsutsuki clan used this method to almost achieve immortality.
