Chapter 70: The Shadows Under the Sea
By the time Goyuki woke up from a slumber that lasted for an unknown amount of time, the sky was already gray.
He looked at the somewhat damp wooden structure above his head, took a breath of air with a slight fishy smell, and said to Shino, who was sitting next to him, "How long have I been dizzy?" ”
"A day and a half, when we entered the island, it was early yesterday morning, and now it is dusk the next day."
After discovering that Yuxing woke up, Shino, who had been sitting on a chair not far away and reading with sunglasses and was not afraid of blindness, put down the book in his hand, poured a glass of water and handed it to his companion.
"It's been a day and a half...... It seems that the matter is over, right, what is the reaction of Konoha on the other side? ”
After taking a big sip of the water cup, Yuxing slowly breathed a sigh of relief, since he was still alive and well, then this raid was the most unfortunate and basically successful.
Goyuki almost single-handedly killed the second captain of the "Akabane Clan" this time, and Mr. Red and Shino also succeeded in stealing information, as long as these things are handed in, there should be a lot of gain, not to mention that there are a few living villagers as witnesses.
So in Yuxing's opinion, this time the fire daimyo or Tuanzang must have to shed a layer of skin, no matter how dove the three generations are, it will not be to the point where the pigeon will not dare to go crazy when he finds such an outrageous experimental base, right?
However, in the next moment, Shino was silent for a while, then sighed slightly, and said a little helplessly: "There is no reaction, and the shinobi who rushed over to investigate have already gone back not long ago, because no evidence can be collected." ”
"Huh?" When he heard Shino's words, Goyuki's body couldn't help but tremble.
Can't gather any evidence? How is that possible? For a moment, Yuxing even felt that he hadn't woken up yet, how could there be such an outrageous thing?
Haven't the research materials of the full base been obtained by Teacher Hong and Shino? And what about the testimonies of the few villagers who came out alive, isn't it easy to prove that it is related to the daimyo or the danzo?
"This ...... Actually......"
"Shino, you go out first, I'll explain it more clearly."
Just when Shino was about to organize the language to elaborate, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the eighth class, who looked obviously tired, led the team to shinobi, and Sunset Red walked in with a bowl of black things.
Well, after nodding, Shino walked out with his glasses in his hands, but judging from his back and tone, what happened before seemed to make him feel a little uneasy.
"Are the teeth alright?" When he saw this beautiful teacher, Yuxing frowned and glanced at the black unidentified object in her hand, trying to change the subject.
"His broken arm has been taken back, and he can move freely after a month of cultivation...... His luck is good, and so are you, who actually dared to challenge the opponent of the upper ninja level head-on. ”
After sitting on the edge of Yuxing's bed, Sunset Red couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect that the first time she led the team to leave Konoha on a mission, so many unexpected things happened, and the things involved were even far beyond her own control.
"I'm sorry, but I actually attacked him first...... "Bang! Before Yu Xing could finish speaking, Teacher Hong's fist had already knocked on the door of the chief disciple's head.
"It's true that ninjas can't lose the confidence and intention to fight just because the enemy is strong, but sometimes they have to know how to back down, but this word doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
"Hey...... Teacher Hong, is there still a ninja-level opponent in the base? ”
With a wry smile, Yu Xing turned the subject back and asked the question, which he had already guessed the answer to.
According to what he had seen with his "white eyes" before, both Sunset Red and Shino had infiltrated the base and began to take advantage of the chaos to gather intelligence, if it wasn't for any accidents, the information in their hands would definitely be enough to prove a lot of things.
After thinking about it, Sunset Hong shook his head, and said with a somewhat gloomy face: "What you said is half right, because what appeared was not an ordinary Shangnin, but an elite Shangninja whose strength was above me." ”
Elite Shinobi? No wonder. At this time, Yuxing sighed, as if he understood why they hadn't snatched any information this time.
Teacher Hong herself is a newcomer who has just been promoted to the upper ninja, and her strength is not strong in the upper ninja, if there is an elite-level upper ninja lurking in the base, it is already a blessing in misfortune for Red to be able to save his life with Shino.
"But fortunately, that man doesn't seem to have much interest in killing us, at least when I gave up all my evidence and evacuated with Shino and you, he didn't chase after him with all his might, but quickly mobilized other base personnel to evacuate the scene."
When he thought of the situation at that time, Hong seemed to have some palpitations, because the strength of that man was really extraordinary, and Hong even suspected that even Asma might not be his opponent.
"And when Konoha came back, the base was already empty."
"No, even the island has sunk into the sea, as if nothing ever existed."
Wow, that's a big deal. After listening to Teacher Hong's words, Yu Xing could even think of the movement of the isolated island when it sank into the sea, and it seemed that they had already made full preparations in this regard.
"But there are still a few villagers who survived, right? Can't they come out and point fingers......"
"All the adults, except for a small child, were secretive about the matter and were reluctant to come forward to testify, not to mention that they did not know much and could not be considered conclusive without the support of evidence."
Awesome, those guys, if you want to talk about playing this kind of rooster and dog thief, they are still good at it.
After glancing up at the damp ceiling of the wooden house, Yu Xing casually drank all the things that Teacher Hong had brought over, but immediately showed a bitter expression.
"It's a bitter ......"
After a while, Yu Xing spoke slowly, and he didn't know if he was referring to this bowl of herbs or what happened before, after all, it took so much effort and took such a big risk without choking the throat of the person behind the scenes, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"No, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for the three of you, after all, you're still young, you shouldn't be involved in this kind of high-level strife so quickly, you should understand what I mean."
Speaking of this, Red stretched out his hand and drew a cross shape on his chin, which was obviously an allusion to the one-eyed owl whose chin had been stabbed twice and hid in the dirt every day without coming out to see people.
Danzo...... Yuxing couldn't help but close his eyes when he thought of that guy, and in the dark world, he seemed to see a large hand covering the sky over the entire "Fire Country".
For that "Konoha Darkness", in fact, Goyuki doesn't know much about it, at most he knows that he has an organization called "Root" under him, and later succeeded Tsunade as the new Hokage, but even the Hokage's hood was solved halfway by Sasuke (in a state of madness), which came quickly and died quickly.
But in fact, when he really came into contact with the scaly claws of this big man in this world, Goyuki found that that guy was far from being as easy to deal with as he imagined, at least before Sasuke's strength at that time, it was definitely not so simple to fight against Danzo......
After a while, Yu Xing raised his head and said to Teacher Hong with a smile: "Let him pass the past, it's not interesting to pursue it any further, anyway, after we rescue the villagers this time, it will be considered a successful mission, right?" ”
After seeing that Yuxing seemed to "want to open", Hong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because she was really afraid that this disciple, who was much more stubborn than he seemed on the surface, would continue to track down the matter of "root" and Danzang......
"It's over, and later Mr. Dianming corrected this mission to a B-rank mission, so congratulations on becoming the only team in this batch of shinobi who has completed a B-level mission."
When he said this, a proud expression still appeared on Sunset's red face, because it was still rare to have a shinobi complete a B-class mission in this era.
yes, Class B...... Hehe, that's fun.
However, Yu Xing smiled happily on the surface with Teacher Hong, but the resentment in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.
