Hundreds of remnants of the enemy fled, and Konoha won a great victory.

Of course, even as the victorious side, there was no shortage of cheers and cries, and the ninjas who cleaned up the corpses and treated the wounded were all busy with their own work.

Among the four people in the ninth group, Akai, who opened the fourth injured door, undoubtedly passed out.

Although Ebisu was not seriously injured, he was poisoned, and as soon as the battle ended, he was taken in for treatment by a specialized medical ninja.

Suddenly, Orochimaru walked out of the dense forest, his face was slightly gloomy, holding a long sword in one hand and a broken arm in the other, leaving a faint trace of blood on the ground.

Jiraiya was lying on the ground panting, and when he saw this, he immediately sat up and asked, "What about Xinfan?" ”

"Escaped." Orochimaru's expression was cold.

Jiraiya glared: "What, you let him run away again?" ”

Orochimaru didn't speak first, but opened his mouth, swallowed the long sword and broken arm one after another, and then stretched out his long scarlet tongue and licked his lips for a while......

Such a demonic move directly frightened several nearby shinobi to the ground, trembling.

Jiraiya's face was also a little unnatural, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Can you this guy be a little more restrained!" ”

Orochimaru licked his lips again unmoved, and said, "Shinshiga's left hand has been cut off by me, and he is seriously injured, so it doesn't matter if he survives. It is estimated that there will be another big battle, and the battlefield of the Land of Rain will be over. ”

"You mean...... Hanzo? Jiraiya blinked.

Orochimaru probably thought he had asked a very idiotic question, so he just glanced at him and turned away without answering.

……

Late at night, somewhere in the land of rain, there was a light rain.

In the deep night, Xin Fan, who was covered in blood and had only one arm left, walked forward in a hurry, staggering, like a lost dog, compared with the previous strong posture, it was like two people.

As he was walking, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and fell directly to the ground, coughing up blood, and his face was like paper for a while.

"Ahem! Ahem...... Ahem......"

Xin Fan gasped, his left hand clutching the chain, looking at his empty left sleeve, his eyes flashing with despair.

Three of his students were killed by Orochimaru and others that year, and he was originally going to take revenge, but now not only did he fail to take revenge, but he also lost most of his life, and he was still alive.

More than 2,000 subordinates also died and fled, which can be described as a complete defeat.

Xin Fan couldn't help but think in his heart that in addition to death, his situation probably couldn't be more miserable. In a way, he's worse than dead now.

"Ahem......"

After coughing for a while, he finally wanted to continue to live, and immediately struggled to get up from the ground, staggered into a nearby cave, and sat down to rest.

"Huh."

At this moment, a startled voice suddenly came from another corner of the cave.

"Who!" Xin Fan was so shocked that he immediately jumped to his feet, holding the chain in his hand and was very vigilant.

Immediately, a figure came out of the darkness, dressed in a long robe, wearing a square scarf, and a pair of green pupils that looked extremely striking in the night, like a ghost.

This person looked at Xin Fan for a moment: "You should be Xin Fan of Yuyin, right?" ”

"Crackle—"

The chains vibrate, the arc flowed faintly, and Xin Fan asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

The man was not afraid at all, looked at the chain in his hand with an arc of electricity, nodded to himself, and muttered, "It should be right, it seems that I am really lucky." ”

"Who the hell are you!" Shin Fan's face turned pale, and he asked through gritted teeth, while his trembling right hand clenched the chains, and the arc flashed.

The man was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiaodu...... I have a very special identity. ”

"What identity?"

Jiaodu casually rolled up his sleeves, and his voice gradually revealed coldness:

"The next master of your heart."

……

Although I don't know that Genma really doesn't care about birthdays, on July 17th, Kime Nagaye still took him to collect some wild vegetables and fruits, fish and shrimp, wild frogs, pheasants and hares, etc., and then had a sumptuous dinner with Akai and Ebisu to celebrate.

In the blink of an eye, on July 20th, most of the injured ninjas in the Konoha camp had recovered, and at the same time, Mimura Hamaki also left with some of his men, and it was said that he went to the battlefield of Kawanokuni to support.

At noon, the ninth group of four people was called to the room of the captain Akido Dingza.

"Captain Dingza." Four men came in through the door.

"Hmm." Qiu Dao Ding nodded as he flipped through the documents in his hand, and then said, "Changye, there is a B-level task to be assigned to you here......"

Hearing this, I don't know how much Izukuma Genma, Akai, and Ebisu are looking forward to it.

After all, the three of them still have one B-level mission experience before they can be promoted to Zhongnin, and since Akai and Ebisu recovered from their injuries, they have been waiting for a B mission to be assigned.

Qiu Dao Ding Za said slowly: "This afternoon, you need to go to the northeast to search for the body of the strong man Xin Fan of Yuyin, if you find the body, you can bring back the skull, and bring back its chains as much as possible, the mission period is five days, and the mission experience is recorded three times...... This task is performed by multiple teams at the same time, and failure does not result in a negative record. ”

"Corpses?" Kime Nagaye frowned slightly.

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo spread his hands: "I don't know, anyway, Lord Orochimaru said that Shin Fan is dead, let me arrange a few tasks to find the body." ”

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, and they all had some doubts and concerns in their eyes.

Whether Xin Fan was directly killed in the battle that day, they don't know. But if he died in battle, there is no talk of searching for the body, and if Nobuyumu did not die in battle but escaped, then how can Orochimaru confirm that Nobuyoru is dead?

If it is confirmed that Xin Fan died, why was not even the body found?

“…… According to Orochimaru-sama's intentions, as long as you arrange a C-level mission, but I think it's still a bit dangerous, so I set it up as a B-class mission. Akido Ding Za added, "How about it, do you accept it?" ”

Theoretically, in times of war, ninjas do not have the right to choose missions.

However, in practice, if the ninja raises an objection, the team leader in charge of assigning the task will generally consider it.

Mumu Changye thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Accept." ”

After the four of them took the task and had lunch, they followed the mission guidance to the northeast of the camp and searched all the way.

Every time he came to a place, Kime Nagaye would release a "Earth Escape and Earth Listening Technique" to listen to the situation in the vicinity.

Finally, on the second day, Kime Nagaye's ninjutsu came to fruition.

"The cave in front of it seems to be a little abnormal inside." He stood up and pointed ahead, and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Let's go."

The four of them immediately set off, and soon arrived at the place where the cave was.

However, as soon as they entered the cave, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and their faces were somewhat shocked:

"It's-"
