A trace of fishy smell reached his mouth and nose, and Takatsuki Izumi turned his head to glance at it with some confusion.

The pale red float slowly drifts in the stream from a distance, and as the water slides over the pebbles, a circle of tiny whirlpools forms in the gaps, and a few pale red bubbles emerge.

Seeing this scene, Izumi Takatsuki's expression tightened, and he quickly glanced left and right a few times, and then hunched over and hid in the bushes by the stream, and crawled silently upstream along the current.

As a ghoul, drinking corpse water or something, disgusting is disgusting, but she didn't take it to heart, but was a little happy.

Since the blood could flow down the stream in front of her eyes, it meant that there should be a corpse not far from here.

The ninja who died unnaturally must still have a lot of supplies on her body, as long as she finds the corpse, she may be able to alleviate her current embarrassment.

Of course, the most important thing is that maybe this place is close to the battlefield, and if she can meet the Konoha team, then how can she receive some special treatment with her status.

In the quiet forest, apart from the faint sound of a trickling stream, there was not a trace of any movement, as if the Great Ninja War had nothing to do with it.

However, Izumi Takatsuki knew very well in his heart that the more peaceful the place, the greater the hidden danger.

Otherwise, how could there be no insects and birds hissing in an ordinary forest, if it was not a war, then why would anyone die here, obviously, there were troops passing by, or there was a war.

Knowing that once her strength met the enemy troops, she would inevitably die, so she climbed this short distance extremely cautiously and slowly.

It didn't take long for a silent man to slowly appear in her eyes.

The man was dressed in a standard combat uniform, holding a ninja knife in his hand, and the whole person was lying motionless in the water, and at the gap between his neck, a large amount of Yin red slowly flowed along the stream, which looked extremely shocking.

At the moment when he saw the man clearly, Izumi Takatsuki's heart sank, and he subconsciously clenched the short knife and slowly retreated.

Although she had not experienced a major war, her excellent killing experience prompted her to judge the current situation at the first time.

From the man's clenched ninja knife, it could be seen that the enemy's attack was obviously very unexpected, and he was vigilant and pretending to be too dead.

And looking through the wound on the neck, the man is likely to be killed by a blow, plus the first time she drank the water, she didn't find the smell of blood in the water.

In other words, the time difference between the man's death after she drank the water, or the time difference between her drinking water and the man's death, is only a few hundred steps of water.

Through these kinds of deduced answers, she was naturally shocked, so that she chose to retreat without hesitation.

Just a few hundred steps away, someone died silently, and the most important thing is that the deceased still belonged to the same Konoha as her.

This could not but make her heart palpitate, and as she retreated, she also secretly prayed to herself, praying that the enemy had no means of reconnaissance, and even had gone away.

The crawling movement is very slow, but the movement is very slight, almost non-existent.

As the corpse grew farther and farther away from her, Izumi's mind gradually began to relax.

It wasn't until she returned to the place where she had just drunk that she let out a long breath and leaned against the tree to relieve the tension she had just had.

When she calmed down, she began to think again, thinking about the scene she had just seen.

The fact that the Konoha ninja would actually die here, obviously, excluding the fact that the village has already been breached, can only explain one point.

That is, this place is already far away from the village, and it has even left the defense line, otherwise the ninja of this village will definitely die at the entrance of the village.

But since it has left the defense line, why haven't you found a scene of a large-scale battle?

If you don't take into account the possibility that you have crossed the battlefield, there are only two points that can indicate this situation, one is that the enemy is investigating the reconnaissance team, and the war is about to spread here.

The second is that she is going in the wrong direction, and this may not be the main direction of the coalition attack.

The thought that it was very likely that she was the result of getting lost, she felt a sense of discouragement for no reason, and she hurried for several days in a row, but instead of reaching her destination, she was getting farther and farther away from the village.

If she knew about this kind of thing, she would definitely ridicule her because she heard that the coalition forces were about to arrive, so she was frightened in advance and planned to flee the village.

It is even impossible to say that she should be set up as a pacesetter of shame, and in the name of righteous annihilation, she will be publicly punished, so as to use her to gain personal prestige.

While distressed, Izumi Takatsuki turned her head to look at the upper reaches of the stream again, she was just temporarily avoiding the looming risk, and it didn't mean that she would give up on the corpse.

Today's dinner has not yet arrived, and the supplies on that person's body are likely to determine whether she will be hungry in the next few days.

Moreover、Help the ninjas in the same village to prevent them from exposing their corpses in the wilderness。

This is a small dedication, as long as the tombstone is erected and then tongued, it is very likely that she will escape punishment in the future, and she cannot be missed in any way.

In this way, she was silent in place for a long time, estimating that the time was almost up, and then she ran upstream with her legs off again.

It was different from the caution just now, because considering the reason why the enemy would not stay in one place as the war was going on, this time she let go of her hands and feet, and like a nimble leopard, she came to the corpse in a few flashes.

Without hesitation, she pulled the corpse into the bushes, and then hurriedly opened the other party's small bag, and took out the soldier food pills and some dried food inside.

However, just as she was about to put the food in her small bag, suddenly, a faint fragrance came from behind her.

The moment he smelled the aroma of this, Takatsuki Izumi's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he let go of the small bag and raised his hands.

Crackling, a slight touch fell on his shoulder, Takatsuki Izumi was in a hurry, squinted his eyes and just wanted to fight back, when he heard a very nice voice ringing in his ears.

"After soaking in the water for so long, all the food has gone bad, poor boy, if you don't dislike it, please use mine."

Izumi Takatsuki was stunned, a touch of weirdness appeared on her face, and she was silent for a few breaths, she still raised her hands without any movement.

The person behind her seemed to be frightened by her, and said in a gentle tone: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people." ”

Hearing this, Izumi Takatsuki put down his hand and slowly turned around.

What caught my eye was three figures in big black robes and black veils, and among the three people, the leader seemed to be the woman who was talking to her.

I saw that the woman was holding a small bag in her hand at this time, looking at her with a proper demeanor, and even if she couldn't see the other person's face, Izumi Takatsuki could feel the gentle smile on her face.

Inexplicably, her heart warmed, and she directly ignored the two vigilant gazes behind the woman.

Dafang put away the short knife in his hand, took the small bag handed over, took out the food inside, and ate it in front of the other party.
