Chapter 7: The aftermath is still unsettled
Two days passed quickly, and the village of Konoha returned to its previous peaceful state, and most people didn't even know that the ninjas in the village had been dispatched on a large scale two days ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In a ward of Konoha Village Hospital, a handsome young man with a bandage on his body was sitting at the head of the bed.
A man wearing the standard green vest of Konoha ninjas, holding a paper and pen in his hand, was communicating with the young man lying on the hospital bed. Most of the time, the boy was telling something, and the man interjected a couple of sentences from time to time, and then lowered his head again to record it on the paper.
"When Naruto came to your room, why didn't you notify the village in the first place?"
"Naruto told me that Mizuki-sensei told him about the Book of Seals, and I don't know if Mizuki has any accomplices, and I don't know who I can trust, so I can only run away with Naruto first."
"Why did you choose to block Mizuki alone?"
"There are two of us on our side, and Mizuki's goal is the scroll, I think it's divided into two ways, Naruto takes the scroll first, and I break off to block Mizuki is the best tactic,"
"We found the scene of your battle with Mizuki, and judging from the traces around you, the battle was quite tragic, can you tell me about the battle?"
"There's nothing to say, Mizuki thought I didn't know he was an enemy, and I was accidentally attacked...... The rest is just desperate. ”
“…… Last question, have you seen the contents of the Book of Seals? ”
"Nope."
"The scroll that records all the forbidden arts in the village, aren't you tempted at all?"
"The forbidden art is called a forbidden art for a reason, and I'm stupid ......"
"Uh, what did you say?"
"How could I, who couldn't even pass the ninja school's graduation exam, learn the forbidden technique on the Book of Seals in such a short period of time."
At this, a shy smile appeared on the young man's face.
"That's it, then I've already understood everything I should know, I'll leave first, you can rest."
"Well, excuse me, can you tell me how Naruto ended up doing?"
"Your homeroom teacher, Iruka, caught up with him, and after learning the whole story from Naruto, he took Naruto to search for your whereabouts in the woods, and waited until he met the other searchers and informed you that it was safe."
“…… Is it? ”
"By the way, you should get some nice rewards for this event......"
When the man who had been cold-faced before said this, he finally showed a little smile, "In addition to essential things such as bonuses and medals, you should also be rewarded with one or two ninjutsu that are suitable for you, after all, in a sense, you are also a hero who regained the Book of Seals, and the village will not be stingy in terms of rewards." ”
"I see."
Probably looking forward to the reward, Summer Night couldn't help but smile and nodded.
"Then I wish you a speedy recovery."
After the man left, Xia Ye finally restrained his smile and slowly exhaled a breath, although he had tried his best to calm himself down, but the man was also an experienced ninja after all, and it was impossible to determine whether he saw that he was lying to Xia Ye.
Fortunately, except for the part where he fought with Mizuki, his statement in other aspects is basically true. On the other hand, the reason why the village's investigation after the incident was so serious was that he was afraid of the secret art leaking out, so as long as he proved that he had not touched the Book of Seals, the investigation of him would not continue.
After all, this time he was also a young hero who was wounded bravely for the sake of the village.
Lying quietly on the hospital bed on a summer night, compared to the sword light and blood of that night, Konoha Village during the day was peaceful and peaceful, but as long as he closed his eyes, he would see Mizuki's dim eyes, and as long as he clenched his hands, he would feel the viscous touch of blood.
Although the battle two days ago didn't look thrilling because of Jack's own combat power advantage, the last moment cut off all hope of the other party, and Summer Night undoubtedly weighed his life on the balance of victory and defeat.
Judging by the results, he won the bet.
And in the big picture, for Konoha who has been calm for too long, the events of that night still shook the top after all, although at first glance it seems that the real participants in the incident are only four people, but in terms of its degree of danger, it is definitely not to be underestimated.
Nine-Tails Pillar Force, Book of Seals, Traitorous Forbearance......
The combination of three words that are already extremely guarding, once it is not handled well, what kind of result will it be, is something that many people dare not imagine.
However, a despicable conspirator named Mizuki was killed by a student who failed to pass the ninja school graduation exam in his own plan, so that a wrong event could develop into a big event that would affect the future of the village, and thus ended the tiger.
This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, for one of the parties, Summer Night, it was by no means such a simple matter.
Two nights ago, he stood in front of Mizuki's entity, his stomach churning, his desire to vomit was extremely strong, and the guilt on his hands stained with blood was heavier than Summer Night could have imagined. However, the grim situation did not allow him to vent his negative emotions at will, and if he wasted time at this time, his previous efforts would be meaningless.
No matter which of the Nine-Tails Pillar Power and the Book of Seals fell into the hands of the traitorous ninja, Konoha would definitely not be able to afford it. In addition to the guards, the forces that can be mobilized in the village have probably been mobilized, although this place is out of the scope of the village, but after all, it is not too far, as long as you search in the carpet, it is only a matter of time to find this place.
And now the situation on the scene is that the traitor Mizuki died tragically, his body was covered with wounds, one arm was cut off, and there were even two deaths and injuries, on the contrary, Xia Ye's body had no external injuries at all except for bleeding from his hands. Whoever sees this scene will come up with an answer similar to 'someone else who killed Mizuki'.
After all, if a twelve-year-old boy broke out in a desperate situation and killed the renegade, it would make others feel the birth of another genius, and the civilian boy who had not yet graduated from school 'unharmed' killed the middle ninja with hundreds of mission experience, which would only make people feel extremely weird.
Xia Ye doesn't have the aura of a natural genius like 'Uchiha' or 'Thousand Hands', and the imp who has never had actual combat experience is too exaggerated and will only arouse the malicious suspicion of others.
And summer nights do have their own secrets.
The reason why he risked his life and didn't allow Mizuki to escape was that he didn't want to expose Jack's existence, and it was hard to believe what kind of conjecture a conspiracy theorist would put forward if it was deduced that he still had a helper.
Then the only way to hide people's eyes is to let yourself be seriously injured and make the battle look more intense.
In fact, because the average middle ninja can't master the too powerful ninjutsu and illusion, the gap with the lower ninja is basically only on the level of physical skills and combat experience. If it is a fight to the death, it is not impossible to take advantage of the other party's carelessness to seize the opportunity to succeed in counterkilling.
It's a pity that no matter how ruthless you are, you still can't do it on a summer night when you slash yourself a few times until you are seriously injured or something.
The only way to get through the trick now is to grit your teeth and let Jack attack him. Thankfully, in the legend of the Ripper, this Heroic Spirit has considerable medical knowledge, and relying on the other party's technique should be able to keep the wound to the point where it looks serious and does not actually leave any sequelae.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he just opened his mouth and said, "Jack, I need you to cut my ......", Jack had already brandished the short knife in his hand and flew up, using the same technique as attacking Mizuki, slashing out several knife rays one after another.
In this way, when the search team arrived and sent back to Konoha in the summer night, which had been stabbed more than a dozen times and fainted in a pool of blood, even the medical ninjas who rushed to the emergency room were really shocked.
"The situation is urgent, and if this knife deviates a little more, it will be a major artery."
"It's the same here, no matter how deep it is, even half a centimeter will hurt the liver."
"Lose a lot of blood, be prepared for a blood transfusion......"
"It's miserable, it's a miracle that this kid came back alive."
"That's right, I've been a medical ninja for so many years, and I've only seen such a serious situation once or twice in times of war."
When the dark part of the investigation of the incident adhered to a rigorous attitude and asked if Xia Ye's injury could be a bitter trick, the medical ninjas who participated in Xia Ye's treatment said that it was absolutely impossible, and said that the person who caused the wound was definitely going for the purpose of killing, and the reason why Xia Ye was able to survive enough was entirely because of the excellent skills of the people in charge of treatment.
From this point of view, the effect of the bitter meat meter even exceeded Summer Night's original plan, but the price was indeed a little too great.
Because of this, even though the village is now in peacetime and has sufficient medical reserves, it took two days for the summer night to wake up.
Dangdang!
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
When he heard the knock on the door, Xia Ye couldn't help frowning, he just woke up and the other party came to visit as soon as possible, obviously he got a notice from the hospital, and it was almost certain that it was not small, if he could, Xia Ye really didn't want to have anything to do with the group of shrewd executives at this point in time.
However, even with mental preparation, Xia Ye's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the old figure pushing the door in......
Three generations of Hokage!
