Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Soul Eater
"It is said that on the day of the earthquake, Hokage-sama sent the dark department to investigate, and then the dark department didn't know what they had experienced, and they had just returned to the gate of the village and kept muttering about monsters or something, and they lost consciousness before they could finish speaking, and before they were taken away, many people saw that one of the dark masks had a green skin exposed, which was very scary, and everyone was rumored that they had met a youkai, and then they were possessed by a youkai.

"You're saying they went to investigate the cause of the earthquake and came back with a dark skin that turned green?"
Iruka frowned, for some reason, when he connected the aftermath of the energy explosion and the turning of people's skin in his mind, he always had a strong sense of déjà vu inexplicably.
"Everyone said that, so you can't be wrong."
"That's ......"
Iruka groaned, and gradually lost her thoughts, wondering when something like this had happened.
Big Bang ...... Concussion...... The skin of a person turns green...... Could it be ......
Looking at Iruka's contemplative appearance, Izumi suddenly became interested: "What's wrong?" Is there anything that concerns you? ”
"It's a little bit concerned."
Iruka swallowed the last bite of bread, then stood up, and said without looking back as he walked towards the door, "I'll go first, remember to lock the door when you go." ”
"What, it's an appetite, you should tell me where you care about and then go."
Izumi complained from behind, a world away from the gentle attitude she had when she first started getting along, but this was the real Izumi, not the hypocritical shell that was on the verge of collapse before.
Shaking his head, Iruka shook off his chaotic thoughts and walked towards the Hokage Building, after thinking, a rough guess came to his mind, and to confirm this guess, it was necessary to check the rumors of the dark parts of the skin turning green, so it must be agreed by three generations of old men.
When he came to the Hokage Building, before he walked in, Iruka saw the rickety figure of the old man of the third generation walking down the stairs while thinking about something. ”
Hearing someone call him, the third generation suddenly raised his head, and after seeing that it was Iruka, a look of surprise flashed on his old face: "It's you, Iruka, it's rare to see you come to me recently, what's wrong?" What's the matter? ”
Iruka scratched his head a little embarrassed, listening to the meaning of the three generations of old men, as if he was the kind of person who would come to the door when there was something to do, and ignore it when he had nothing to do, although he did have this attitude towards the three generations of old men.
"That's right, Lord Mishi, I've heard that the shadows you assigned to investigate the cause of the earthquake have all gone wrong when they come back, is that right?"
Hearing this, the three generations immediately frowned, then sighed, and said softly: "Alas, that's right, after they came back, their whole bodies began to turn green, and they couldn't return to normal no matter what means they used, and they are still in the hospital for observation, and I was about to go to the hospital to ask about the situation." ”
Saying that, the three generations looked at Iruka with some confusion: "Iruka, what are you asking for?" ”
"A little concerned, three generations of adults, if you don't mind, can you let me go over and have a look? I have a rough guess, and I need to look at the situation of those shadows to make a judgment. ”
"Oh? Iruka, do you know the reason why they became like this? ”
The three generations of dim old eyes flashed a gleam, not to mention whether Iruka's conjecture was correct or not, the mere fact that he could make a conjecture is very telling.
"Well, it's just a guess, whether it's like that or not, you have to see the situation of those shadows with your own eyes to judge."
Iruka reluctantly emphasized what he had just said, but he also knew that no matter whether or not he could confirm that speculation, he would have to confess something to the third generation, after all, the third generation old man was the Hokage, and it was impossible to ignore him for knowing some strange things.
His [Force Field Control] can also be explained by awakening a certain power, but knowledge is not a bonus to the awakening power, if a reasonable explanation cannot be given, even if the predecessor has a deep bond with the three generations, standing in the position of the Hokage, the three generations of old men will no longer have any tolerance for him.
But even if that were the case, Iruka would have to confirm that suspicion.
After all, that speculation has reached the point where the survival of the world is at stake!
Because of this, even if he had to risk being suspected by the three generations, he had to stand up, because if his guess was confirmed, as an existence that broke the space and traveled to this world, he would most likely become the culprit of that earthquake, and there was no reason to back down at all.
The three generations glanced at Iruka deeply, and after a while, they nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can come with me." ”
Following the three Hokages, Iruka walked towards Konoha Hospital.
Along the way, the two of them were thinking about their own things and didn't say a word, and in this dreary atmosphere, Iruka and Miyo came to the intensive care unit of Konoha Hospital.
"Hokage-sama."
Several medical ninjas at the door of the intensive care room who were discussing something saw Miyo coming over and immediately saluted.
The three generations waved their hands and asked, "How are they?" ”
Several of them looked at each other seriously, but in the end, they lowered their heads in frustration and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, their condition is still deteriorating, their skin is slowly changing from green at the beginning to navy blue, and the corrosiveness is gradually becoming stronger, we will be corroded when we touch it with medical gloves, and their consciousness is ...... It is gradually dissipating, and it is estimated that it will be ...... in less than an hour at most"
"Really? Alas...... Thank you very much. ”
The third generation sighed, a trace of regret appeared on his face, and seeing this, several medical ninjas suddenly hung their heads.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, but it's our lack of power."
The third generation was about to say some comforting words, but at this moment, Iruka suddenly sighed as if he was resigned to his fate, and then said helplessly: "Sure enough...... Alas, I knew it was so. ”
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Iruka in confusion.
"Iruka, you're right...... Did that guess confirm it? ”
The third generation asked with some uncertainty, Iruka just said that he could only make a judgment if he saw the situation of those shadows, how did he know before he entered it?
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Iruka nodded: "It won't be wrong, that disgusting aura, three generations of adults, if there is any problem, let's ask later, those three shadows are about to be completely eroded by those disgusting things, and now it is important to save people." ”
Disgusting stuff?
The three generations stared, although they wanted to ask Iruka how he knew that there were three shadows inside and what that disgusting thing was, but listening to his rather eager tone, he also knew that now was not the time to ask this, so he nodded and motioned to several medical ninjas to open the door of the intensive care room and let Iruka in.
After entering the intensive care unit, Iruka suddenly saw three men lying on the three stone beds with their upper bodies and bare blue skin, the expressions on their faces were extremely hideous, as if they were enduring great pain, and the place where the stone slab bed they were leaning against and them kept making a "sizzling" sound, and white smoke continued to emit white smoke, which was obviously a phenomenon that could only occur when they were violently corroded.
The three slate beds were two meters apart, and around them were a series of inky runes, presumably some kind of sealing technique to suppress their movements.
Seeing this, the corners of Iruka's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Soul Eater...... What a nostalgic scene......
