Chapter 22 Unidentified
The figure flickered, and when I looked closely, there was no suspicious figure outside the window. It seemed to be just an illusion formed by the condensation of black smoke, but it was just an illusion that I had just woken up from my sleep, and it seemed like a dream.
I saw the sea of fire blazing outside the window, Naruto and his face screaming restlessly, only to be drowned out by the roars of two larger beasts.
The sky was like a black velvet licked by flames, revealing a wrecked and ominous appearance.
The bright moon seemed to be dyed blood red, people were crying and screaming, and occasionally there were loud shouts of ninjas who maintained order and evacuated civilians, like a desperate nightmare.
I woke up suddenly, lifted the quilt, and just put on my shoes, I heard someone knocking on the door. When I opened the door, I saw Iruka, panting, outside.
"Urgent mission! Quick, we're in charge of evacuating ordinary civilians into safe houses! ”
Fortunately, the long black sleeves that ninjas sleep in can usually be worn directly in the green vest, so I can quickly complete the battle dress preparation and hurry out with Iruka as long as I put on my coat and take my ninja bag.
Even if there was a moment of worry in my heart, what about Naruto and the face code? For a while, but I can't care about it so much.
"Masumi!!"
As soon as Iruka and I went downstairs, we bumped into Sister Dou who rushed over with an anxious face, and as soon as she saw me, she immediately grabbed my wrist and said nervously, "Where are you going?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Sister Dou! You've come just in time! Naruto and Miami are still at home, you help me take care of them - Iruka-senpai and I have an urgent mission, and we have to rush over now. ”
But Sister Dou obviously didn't worry about letting me leave, she said anxiously: "But ......! ”
"I'm fine." I took her hand and smiled at her soothingly, "Sister Dou, you take care of yourself!" ”
There was no time to say anything more in this emergency, so I pulled out my hand and continued to follow Iruka.
Fortunately, the first and third tails are still some distance away from our side, and there is a dark part to support the enchantment in time, and for a while, it can still resist the angry hammer of the tailed beast for a while.
"What the hell is going on? Iruka-senpai?? ”
"I don't know!!" Iruka also looked helpless and anxious, "Anyway, before you receive other orders, let's respond according to the emergency!" ”
What to do in an emergency is detailed in the ninja manual. It's just that I don't understand, although I also thought about whether there was some conspiracy for Mizukage to come to Konoha in person, but the big gestures released by Mio and Ichio at the same time really shocked me.
Could it be that Mizukage is a thousand miles away, making a special trip to prepare to die in Konoha?
What's going on with the Lero? Isn't her mental state much better after a fight with my Airo!?
Fortunately, almost everyone in Konoha has been educated in a ninja school and has a certain knowledge of combat readiness, so it didn't take much effort for Iruka and I to evacuate the people to the designated refuge site as much as possible with the cooperation of the masses, and gathered with the rest of our colleagues.
Soon a shinobi came over to reassign the task, and I and some other middle shinobi were responsible for searching and rescuing the injured in some areas where the houses had collapsed, and after a while, the medical team was also urgently in place.
And those who were crushed by the ruins and broken walls were mostly ordinary people who failed to react when the incident happened suddenly. Among them, the elderly accounted for the majority, and some were pressed to the core, and halfway through the digging, there was no sound at the bottom, only a heart-wrenching dead silence remained.
However, there is no time to feel sad at such times.
The Inuzuka family's ninja dog search and rescue team was also quickly in place, and began to sniff the location of the victims who were crushed under the rubble; The chakra worm of the oil girl's house burrows in and out of the cracks of countless collapsed buildings; Many of those who multiply and magnify their hands, digging and transporting, are obviously Qiu Daoist people; The high ground was soon filled with white-eyed Hyuga ninjas, guarding the surroundings and making sure that no enemies would surprise in the chaos.
Although they are only silently doing such basic work, and are not as glamorous as those heroes who stand up in times of crisis and turn the tide in the limelight, those who protect others in obscurity are of course also heroes.
"Wang! Woof!! At this moment, a ninja dog of the Inuzuka family smelled something, dragged me by my trouser leg and led me to a piece of ruins not far away, barked at me a few times, and made a digging gesture with his paws on the spot.
This means that there are survivors underneath.
I hurriedly started the rescue work, but this time the survivors didn't seem to be buried deeply, and soon I saw a long bright red hair.
…… Wait, long red hair?
Slowly appeared in front of me, a red-haired girl who was faintly panting, and the red glasses she was wearing were gone.
When she finally saw the light, she seemed to use all her last strength, grabbed my sleeve, tears rolled out of her eyes, and sobbed: "Help, save me......"
It's actually incense.
"It's all right...... It's all right. I quickly softened my voice to soothe her tense emotions. Soon after, a medical ninja from the medical team rushed over with a stretcher, trying to lift her onto the stretcher and move her to safety.
But at this moment, the Hyuga ninja from a high place suddenly roared: "Be careful!! The barrier is about to break!! Get out of that area now!! ”
But as soon as his words fell, the mountains shook for a while.
With the huge size of the tailed beast, even if it didn't do any attacks, it just walked normally, like an earthquake. Wherever you go, whatever stands in your way, it will be trampled clean by the destruction and decay.
In this case, I might be able to escape to the heights with Xiang Li, but this medical team may not have had time to think too much, and I have already made a subconscious decision when the smoke and dust are billowing in.
[Mysterious Mask Man], debut!
Divinity!
……
All five chakras suddenly disappeared, and then another one appeared—a chakra that had never been seen before, or even that didn't exist in that place before.
The ninjas of the Hyuga clan in the high places couldn't understand what was going on for a while, and they showed a look of surprise, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until his companion urged him that he suddenly came back to his senses: "Hey! Don't be there! Report casualties!! ”
"Four ...... of Death" But when he was about to report "Four people died, one person survived", a suspicious person wearing a black robe and a mask on his face jumped out of the ruins unscathed, and in the next second, one person's chakra suddenly became five.
“!?”
W-What's the situation!?
"Hey!! Casualties!? ”
"One person died, four survived—" The ninja of the Hyuga family was shocked by this strange situation and broke out in a cold sweat, and he said nervously, "But one person is unknown!" ”
