Golden sand swept through the air, scorching sunlight poured down from the sky, and the furnace-like heat was unbearable.

"Falcon!"

In the desert sky not far from the border of the Fire Nation, several eagles with yellow and black hues wandered, their sharp and dark pupils patrolling the barren desert.

It has been almost half a month since the advance force sent by Konoha Village.

After they were discovered by the Sand Hidden Village, except for a small number of people who fled, most of the others were captured and tortured by the ninjas of the Sand Hidden Village.

And the remaining small number of people, during this time, have also been hiding in Tibet.

But how long can they survive in this desert with no water or food?

Even if there was abundant food and resources in the nearby oasis, they did not dare to rush there, because in a desert with scarce materials, in every oasis with precious water sources, there was a high probability that there would be troops from the Sand Hidden Village to protect it.

"Phew, bah, bah."

In the pile of yellow sand not far from the stone cliff on the border of Konoha Village, Yuji Yamanaka cautiously leaned on his stomach, clinging to the hot gravel.

Yamanaka Yuji's body is covered with a pale yellow robe, allowing him to blend in with the surrounding desert environment and not be noticed by the eagles in the sky.

The closer he got to Konoha Village's border defenses, the more nervous Yuji Yamanaka became.

He knew that the high-level leaders of Sand Hidden Village would definitely place interception ninjas on the border defense line, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

The ninja chasers behind him who were constantly chasing him were just consuming his physical strength like cat and mouse, and Yamanaka Yuji was already very weak without water and food supplies.

Moreover, he is not an offensive and powerful ninja himself, not to mention that he has also specialized in medical ninjutsu, and he has not even learned much of his own family's exclusive ninjutsu.

Secondly, as a member of the Yamanaka clan, he is better at assisting his teammates in attacking.

Yamanaka Yuji subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, swallowed his saliva with a longing expression, and looked at the border defense line not far ahead.

This time, they sent an advance to investigate the information stolen by the troops, and they had to send it back to the village in time.

At the thought of the crazy plan of the Sand Hidden Village, Yuji Yamanaka's body couldn't help but shudder.

If Sunagakure's plan is successfully implemented, even if Konoha Village can stop it in time, it will lose a lot at that time.

Physical weakness brings not only physical exertion, but also mental exhaustion.

Yamanaka's crawling speed began to increase, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the border line, he did not relax in the slightest, but scanned the surroundings with extreme vigilance.

One kilometer.

Nine hundred meters.

Eight hundred meters.

…………

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

Yamanaka Yuji barely measured the approximate distance between himself and the border defense line with his eyes, and seeing that it was only the last two hundred meters, his eyes flashed with determination.

Suddenly lifting the yellow robe draped over his body, the chakra in his body surged, and his figure flickered, rushing towards the border defense line that was only the last distance.

The eagles patrolling the sky, with their sharp and dark pupils, spotted the figure fleeing from the desert below at the first moment, and let out a high-pitched hoarse chirp from their mouths.

Yuji Yamanaka looked at the border defense line and the forest that were close at hand, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

He didn't expect that this cautious final journey would come over so easily.

"Smack!"

After landing firmly on the border defense line, Yuji Yamanaka's heart subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the vigilance in his heart also relaxed.

The already weak body was carrying out such a large sprint, and Yuji Yamanaka faintly felt that the world in front of him was blurred.

After shaking his head, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran into the forest in front of him, as long as he entered the forest, with the complicated terrain, he was very sure that he could throw off the pursuers.

And just as Yuji Yamanaka had just taken a step, a cold voice came from behind him.

"Secret Technique, Machine, Amber, Ryujin!"

In the desert swept by the wind and sand behind him, a tall man with a white silk scarf covering his face took out the sealing scroll and released his puppet, a slender poisonous needle, which shot out from the scar on his tail.

The high-speed and accurate poison needle quickly hit the fleeing Yamanaka Yuji, but even if he was hit by the poison needle, Yamanaka Yuji was still strong and barely jumped into the forest in front of him to dodge.

"Lord Greysand, are we going to continue the hunt?"

A shinobi next to the tall man asked aloud.

"No need, he was hit by the puppet amber's secret poison needle, even if he escaped, he couldn't support it to return to Konoha Village."

"Besides, the elite team we sent out before was ambushed on the road of Konoha Village, and that Konoha ninja couldn't escape."

Gray Sand looked at the lush forest in the distance with a faint expression, and replied casually.

Then, he turned around and left with the rest of the ninjas.

The bloodstains on the border defense line not far away slowly disappeared under the sweep of the wind and sand.

"Ahem~Woo!"

Under the leafy trees, Yuji Yamanaka was half-kneeling on the ground with a flushed face, his expression was sluggish, and the world in front of him began to become blurry and dark.

"Suffered, just ...... The needle that came in the shot was poisonous, cough cough. ”

After reluctantly stuffing the note with some information in his mouth and swallowing it, the poison on his back finally began to kick in, and Yamanaka Yuji couldn't support it, and as soon as his eyes went black, his body collapsed.

Before he fell and closed his eyes, he vaguely seemed to see three figures fall in front of him.

Sand Hide's pursuers?

Or is it the support of the village?

And before he could see the person clearly, Yuji Yamanaka fainted.

………………

Shout! Shout! Shout!

The afterglow of dusk fell in the depths of the forest, and it was already the time when the sun was setting, and the three of them were speeding towards Konoha Village.

With the help of the daylight that falls in the sky at dusk, you can see that on the back of the wave wind and water gate, Yuji Yamanaka is lying unconscious.

"If you rush back to the village now, it's too late, the toxins in his body are multiplying rapidly, and they must be solved immediately."

"Teacher Watergate, let's find a place to stop first, and I'll help him temporarily stop the reproduction of toxins."

The pure white eyes were bruised, and in the perspective of the white eyes, Hinata clearly observed in an instant that in Yamanaka Yuji's body, a gray toxin was constantly spreading and multiplying.

If the rescue is not launched immediately, I am afraid that Yuji Yamanaka will really die on the spot.

After Hinata took advantage of the farsightedness of the white eye, he soon found a cave with a slightly dry temperature.

The three of them came to the cave, and after Bo Feng Shuimen carefully put down Yuji Yamanaka on his back, he handed it over to Hinata Instant.

After turning Yamanaka Yuji's body on the other side, looking at the gray toxin on his back, Hinata suddenly ignited a light blue chakra aura on the five fingers of his hands.

With the precise assistance of the white eye and the precise control of Chakra, Hinata's hands continued to fall on Yamanaka Yuji's back like afterimages.

As time passed, the gray toxin behind Yamanaka Yuji finally stopped spreading and multiplying.

"Teacher Shuimen, I temporarily used the method of soft fist acupoints to seal the toxin that spread and multiplied, and then, as long as he returns to Konoha Village for treatment, he will be fine."

Facing the inquiring eyes cast by Bo Feng Shuimen, Hinata instantly withdrew his hands and explained.

Fortunately, this toxin relies on the chakra in the human body to reproduce and spread, and Yamanaka Yuji has no excess chakra in his body after experiencing escape and physical weakness, so the toxin does not spread very much.

If this toxin had chakra as fuel, even if Hinata used a soft fist to point the acupoint, it would not be able to stop it.

After putting Yamanaka Yuji aside to rest, Hinata and the others ate food at will, and after setting the order of duty in turn at night, they went to rest.

………………

The next morning.

Hinata was on duty at this time, and as soon as he returned from catching prey from the forest, he heard good news from Kakashina.

"That fainted ninja woke up?"

After watching Kakashi nod, Hinata walked into the cave after casually handing the stunned prey in his hand to the side.

In the cave, Yuji Yamanaka, who woke up, was reluctantly using the palm fairy technique to heal himself, and after seeing Hinata come in instantly, he wanted to get up and say thank you, but he fell down with a cry of pain.

"Don't move, the toxins in your body haven't been cleaned up yet."

As a medical ninja, Yuji Yamanaka naturally knew his physical condition, and after barely sitting up, he began to take the initiative to introduce himself.

After introducing his position, Yamanaka Yuji hurriedly told the information obtained from Sand Hidden Village one by one.

Their advance troops, in the half month that they had been hiding in Shayin Village, had obtained an extremely important piece of information.

That is, the Sand Hidden Village is already preparing to wage war against Konoha, and at the same time, it wants to use the Moritsuru that ran away a year ago as a weapon of war and put it into the war.

Ready to hit Konoha by surprise.

Originally, the human pillar force used the power of the tailed beast not so quickly.

However, after the death of the previous pillar force in Shayin Village, the other people brought in him could not withstand the power of Shouhe at all.

So in no way, under the forbidden technique presided over by the three generations of Kazekage, the Sand Hidden Village temporarily sealed a Shouzuru in the body of an adult ninja.

And the price of the forbidden art is that this ninja, after becoming a human pillar force, only three years of life remained.

In other words, this forbidden technique can only temporarily imprison Shouhe, not permanently.

The ninja who temporarily became a human pillar force was also used by the higher-ups of the sand to prepare for the battlefield because of the shortness of his next life.

The power of the tailed beast is the confidence of Sand Hide to dare to attack Konoha.

After listening to the information told by Yuji Yamanaka, Bo Feng Shuimen and the others were shocked by the madness of the sand hide.

If the Tailed Beast's power is really put into the battlefield, then Konoha's defense against the sand will be in jeopardy.

"The world has changed."

Hinata thought for a moment, in the original work, Shouhe has been obediently staying in the body of Fenfu, until the birth of my Airo, it was not resealed.

But in this world, because of the death of Fenfu, Shouhe will be thrown into the battlefield.

"We must hurry back to the village and tell the three generations this information, otherwise it will be too late by the time the tailed beast attacks."

Bo Feng Shuimen stood up and said to Hinata and the two with a solemn expression, and then, they quickly packed their luggage, and after carrying the injured Yamanaka Yuji, they rushed in the direction of Konoha Village.

And on the way back to Konoha, Hinata's pure white eyes flashed with a faint blue-gold dazzling light, and he glanced meaningfully at the earth not far behind him, and his eyes were full of playfulness.

PS: It's so painful, originally according to the chapter outline, I should have controlled the end of this chapter at about 2000 words, but I didn't expect to write too much without paying attention...... Helpless .jpg (don't worry, although I wrote more, but there is a change in the evening~)

PS1: This chapter is an echo of the team sent by the sand in front of them, and the reason why they didn't chase it was because they thought that Yuji Yamanaka had been poisoned by a needle, and there was an elite team from before on the way back that could effectively intercept it. (Of course, they didn't know that the team had been destroyed, otherwise they would have caught up, laughs.jpg)
