Yakushidou didn't know that he was thinking about the two heavyweights at the same time, Orochimaru and Kaguya, and he was only concerned about the question now, and that was whether he would have a chance to return to Konoha at all.

He did accept Shimura Danzo's order to infiltrate the Fog Hidden Village to collect intelligence as a Root Spy, but the problem was that when he finally relied on the spy that the Root had planted in the Fog Hidden Village before, he forged a reasonable identity for himself and enrolled in the ninja school as a war orphan-

Shimura Danzo himself, along with a large number of elites from the roots, dozens of people besieged the current four generations of Mizukage Kaguya and did not fight a single person, and unfortunately the entire army was wiped out in the process of carrying out the mission.

Now, the roots, who have always only followed the orders of Shimura Danzo, have suddenly become a big mess.

Even if the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash took over the root in time, it was not able to completely calm down the internal chaos of the root, and it was precisely because of this that Yakushidou completely cut off contact with the root and Konoha after receiving an order from the superior who was lurking with him to continue lurking.

Disconnecting from Konoha is actually not a big problem, after all, when accepting this mission, Yakushidou was already mentally prepared for this to be a long-term mission......

But what made Yakushidou couldn't understand was why Konoha had already signed an armistice agreement with Kirigakure, and the war had temporarily ended, but there was still no one from Konoha to contact him, announce the end of his mission, or tell him what the information he was going to collect next.

It's like Konoha who has forgotten that he has planted such a spy as Yakushidou in Wuyin Village.

At the same time, in order to be able to successfully enroll in the ninja school of the fog as a war orphan, some of the ninjutsu talents that were deliberately displayed also began to bring some small troubles to the pocket.

"Na, Dou, have you memorized all the knowledge about medical ninjutsu that the teacher taught you just now?"

"Huh? Well, I've basically written it down...... What, do you have something you don't understand, Cangyue, Lanyue? ”

"Hey, you've seen it~"

A pair of twin sisters from the Ghost Lantern clan naturally stuck to Yakushidou's side very closely, with undisguised admiration and favor in their eyes, they warmly took his hand and asked:

"Can you help us catch up on medical ninjutsu after school? After all, you're so powerful, according to the newly released rules of the fourth generation, it shouldn't be long before you graduate from school early as a medical ninja, and by that time, we won't have anyone to ask for......"

Looking at the pair of blue and white-haired twin beautiful girls with delicate faces and sincere expressions in front of him, who wanted to have a good relationship with him very seriously, Yakushi's heart was messed up.

Yakushidou is indeed a spy sent by the roots, but he has not been erased by the roots of all emotions and humanity, in the face of this kind of frank and simple kindness from the opposite sex, how can this orphan, who has just passed his eighth birthday, get something completely inappropriate?

“…… If you two listen to the lecture carefully, you don't need me to make additional additions at all, right? Yakushidou pushed the glasses that Yakushi Nonoyu gave him, trying to get the two of them to give up the idea of continuing to pester themselves.

"But compared to the teacher, it's easier for you to understand...... Originally, we could have gone to the guy who was full moon for advice, but since that guy carried out a mission personally ordered by the fourth generation, he began to delve into more advanced hydration healing techniques by himself, and he didn't see a single ...... all day."

Ghost Lantern Cangyue and Ghost Lantern Lanyue glanced at each other, and in unison, their voices gave such an answer.

"Alas...... Okay, okay, count me to death as you guys, okay? Medicine Master Dou sighed and nodded resignedly to accept the request of the two sisters, Ghost Lantern Cangyue and Ghost Lantern Lanyue.

"yes~ Then your dinner today will be wrapped around us, pocket~"

The two Ghost Lantern sisters raised their hands very tacitly, and heartily high-fived the helpless Medicine Master, and then jumped back to their positions and began to whisper, while Medicine Master Dou turned his head to look out the window at the Fog Hidden Village, which had become much more lively because of the many new policies issued by Kaguya, and silently remembered the orphanage that took him in.

Dean, I'm doing well, I don't know if you have received any funds that can support the continued operation of the orphanage...... Although it is said that the thing was done by that guy from Shimura Danzo, since the three generations of Hokage took over the roots, it can't be said that they are not even willing to keep this promise, right?

……

"Miko-sama, drop it, I'm, I'm gone, I can't keep up with you anymore......"

On the bank of the river where the water was quiet, a man dressed as a warrior fell to the ground weakly, the armor on his body was torn, and the bandages used to bandage the wounds were also soaked with scarlet blood at this time, looking at the manly appearance, the daughter Shion, who was held in the arms of the contemporary witch Maitreya, sobbed and buried her face in her mother's arms, crying and asked:

"Mom, can't you save him?"

"Sorry, Shion ......"

Maitreya shook her head and looked in the direction where she and the others came, even though the sky had gradually darkened at this time, the fire and billowing smoke in the distance clearly reminded the shrine maiden and his attendants that the capital of the country of ghosts had been captured by the ghost army.

"Damn!"

A samurai who was guarding the shrine maiden mother and daughter all the way out smashed his fist into the big tree next to him, and said with a face full of unwillingness:

"If not, if it weren't for those ninjas who were bewitched by the dragons to join the battlefield, we would definitely be able to hold out for a while longer, and if we held for a while, maybe we would be able to wait for the ninjas of Konoha, Sand Hide, or Iwakure to come to support."

"Probably, something happened to the carrier pigeon we sent." Maitreya shook his head and sighed solemnly, "Although we have sent at least five carrier pigeons to each village, it will take time for them to go from receiving the commission to selecting the person to carry out the mission, and then rushing to the country of ghosts to support......"

"So what do we do now, Mikome-sama?" A middle-aged warrior tightened the bandage on his arm and asked in a deep voice, "Although we have escaped from the siege of the Sprite and his minions for the time being, judging by his strange attachment to you, it is impossible for the Sprite to let us go......"

"Let's divide the soldiers into two ways."

Maitreya didn't think much about it, and made such a decision with a resolute expression.

"It's just that we're running away in embarrassment, waiting for reinforcements, it's a bit too passive, since we can't be sure if there will be ninjas who have received our request for help to come to support, we can only find a way to solve the dragon and his ghost army on our own."

"Kurokawa, Asano, Higashihara, Ashiho, you guys take Shion with you, find a way to meet the ninjas who came to support, I've already given Shion the bell as a shrine maiden proof, if our side finally fails, she will be the next shrine maiden of the Oni Country, and the only hope to defeat the spirits."

"The rest of you...... I'm sorry, but I might need you to risk your lives to accompany me to the Swamp Country to find a way to deliver the final blow to the Spirits. ”

"Mom!? No, I don't want to be separated from my mother......"

When the little girl with long white hair heard that her mother was going to leave herself alone to face the danger, her already unstable emotions suddenly became more intense, and she grabbed her mother by the collar hard, not wanting to be separated from her mother, but Maitreya picked her up from her arms with tenderness and unrefusable force, and then looked into her eyes and said:

"Shion, this is what my mother has to face as a revered witch of the Oni Country, I can't watch the people who believe I can protect this country being ravaged by the dragons, but I am greedy for life and death to hide aside, trembling and praying that someone else will solve this crisis that may destroy the Oni Country."

"Let's leave with Ashiho, if mom fails, you're the only hope for the country of ghosts, and even the entire ninja world."

"Mom's ......"

Little Shion choked up with tears, reluctantly, but at least without a struggle to let the youngest of the several guards, Ashi, take her from her mother's hand, and then reluctantly turned her head and shouted loudly to her mother, who was perhaps separated by yin and yang at this time:

"Definitely, I must come back, Mom......"

"Aster ......"

Maitreya gritted her teeth, trying not to let her hard-won resolute expression crumble because of her daughter's tears, and just as she slowly turned her head, wiping the blood that flowed from the corners of her mouth because she bit too hard, and was about to embark on the journey of no return with the few remaining guards around her, a column of water suddenly burst into the calm river on the side.

"Protect the shrine maiden!"

Several battle-hardened guards quickly formed a formation and protected Maitreya behind them, and then they saw two figures dressed in red cloud robes on a black background dodge out of the water column, and their movements easily landed on the riverbank not far from them.

"Who are you!?"

Looking at the two strangely dressed young ninjas in front of them, who didn't look like they were from any well-known ninja villages, but who showed the ability to escape from water, the shrine maiden's guards swallowed nervously, clenched the blades in their hands that had been worn out from the battle, and asked sharply.

The Uchiha Shisui turned his head, not wanting to answer this question that would only make him feel embarrassed at this time, and the dry persimmon ghost shoved the mist concealment forehead on his forehead, and while shaking off the blood on his ninja knife, he grinned and gave an answer that surprised everyone present.

"We? We are ordered by the four generations of Mizukage to come to accept the commission of the Oni no Kuni Shrine Maiden to help you crusade against the madman who is trying to provoke war again, the Mist Ninja. ”

Behind the two of them, the soaring column of water smashed down on the surface of the river, and a large amount of blood quickly spread on the surface of the river, and the bodies of three ninjas who were quite familiar to the shrine maidens' guards also floated above the water.
