Kazama lay quietly on the bed, half-open to see the white and seeping lights on the ceiling, and around him, several medical staff carefully treated and bandaged his wounds, and on the surface, Kazama was not seriously injured, and he was not in a coma as Chiyo said.

Although ninjas have high offense and low defense, their ability to withstand and recover from injuries is not bad, at least much stronger than ordinary people.

Xie Mao observed for a while and didn't find anything abnormal, he asked Qing Tong in his heart, "Can you still feel the breath of the glass snake?" ”

After a few seconds, there was a blank response from Qing Tong.

It loses its sense of the Glass Serpent.

Could it be that the induction is wrong? After thinking for a while, Xie Mao walked to the operating table with the idea of not letting go of the mistake.

Kazama, who noticed Xie Mao coming, rolled his eyes, and then showed a smile that looked very empty: "Scorpion ......"

The medical staff beside Kazama glanced at Xie Mao and said, "The wounded just woke up, and he is still very weak, so try not to disturb him if there is no need." ”

"A few words, is it okay?" Xie Mao looked into Kazama's eyes and said.

The paramedic immediately wanted to reply, "What can I ask after the wounded recover", but he was about to open his mouth when he saw Chiyo standing at the door, and immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say.

It's just a few words, and it doesn't matter.

Kazama blinked unexpectedly, he and Xie Mao were not very familiar, and he didn't know what Xie Mao wanted to say to him, but he still replied, "No problem." ”

"Did you know that your friend Yamatachi is a spy?"

As soon as Xie Mao's words came out, the movements of the surrounding medical staff couldn't help but pause.

They thought they were going to talk about something they cared about, but it turned out to be such a hot topic?

Several medical staff looked at each other, not knowing for a while whether to avoid suspicion, but Chiyo was at the door, and they were stuck here.

Hearing Xie Mao's question, Kazama also widened his eyes slightly in surprise, and then said sadly: "When I was attacked by Orochimaru, I knew that he was a spy from Iwain Village. ”

"You were attacked together?"

“…… Be. ”

"What were you talking about before you were attacked?"

Faced with this question, Kazama's face was a little ugly, he looked straight at Xie Mao, and said slowly: "This shouldn't be what you know. ”

There were some questions he didn't mind answering, but there were others that Xie Mao shouldn't have asked, and Kazama would have unceremoniously declined.

After all, in terms of identity, he is a forbearance and Xie Mao is only a middle forbearance, in terms of qualifications, he is a well-deserved senior, and in terms of friendship, the two are not much better than nodding friends, but they are just companions who have been on missions together rather than friends.

He had the right not to answer, so he decisively refused to answer.

Don't want to answer? Xie Mao was not easy to ask, and when he was thinking about how to continue the temptation, Chiyo suddenly walked over and said, "Then what if I want to ask?" ”

"Grandma?" Xie Mao didn't expect Chiyo to help him unabashedly.

"Chiyo-sama......"

Kazama's mouth shook for a while, and finally sighed, "The thing I talked about with Yamatachi is related to the Glass Snake, after all, it comes from Monzaemon-sama, so I want to contact and retrieve the Glass Snake, and Yamatachi gave me an idea." ”

He does not deny that he covets the glass snake, Kazama's ambition in life is to recreate the glory of the puppet art of the Monzaemon period, and he is fanatical about all the achievements of the Monzaemon period.

"Now you should understand that Yamachito is just trying to take advantage of you, right?" Chiyo asked lightly.

“…… Yes, I mistook him. Kazama closed her eyes sadly.

His friend for many years was actually a spy from Rock Hidden Village, so wasn't their past friendship all hypocrisy fabricated by Shan Tang?

The reason why Yama Tachibana is willing to make friends with him is just because he has a crush on the inheritance of the puppeteer behind him?

Chiyo looked at Xie Mao and asked with her eyes if there was anything else she wanted to ask.

Xie Mao, who still hadn't received feedback from Qingtong, shook his head and said sincerely to Kazama: "I'm sorry Kazama-senpai, I asked you this when you were injured, I hope you recover soon." ”

It's normal for Kazama to want the glass snake, Xie Mao didn't think there was anything wrong with Kazama's answer, if it wasn't for the blue pupil who sensed the breath of the glass snake just now, Xie Mao wouldn't have probed suspiciously, it's not a good thing to disturb the patient's rest.

But now that Qing Tong can no longer feel the breath of the glass snake, Xie Mao can only temporarily think that it is Qing Tong's illusion.

Kazama nodded lightly in response to Xie Mao's words, and closed his eyes.

Xie Mao followed Chiyo out of the operating room, and Chiyo said, "Even if you don't ask him, I'll ask about something." ”

This is asking why I suddenly thought to ask Kazama? Xie Mao walked behind Chiyo, couldn't see Chiyo's face, and replied, "I don't think Kazama-senpai is an undercover agent. ”

Chiyo bowed his head slightly: "I think so too, he is a child I watched grow up, and I don't think he will betray the village." ”

Xie Mao walked in the corridor of the hospital and asked, "Grandma, what will the higher-ups do to Kazama-senpai in the future?" ”

Chiyo thought for a while and said: "His friend is a spy, and no matter how tolerant the higher-ups are, they will be wary of Kazama, but before there is substantial evidence of rebellion against the village, he will still be the village's upper ninja, and as a rare puppet master upper ninja, it won't be long before he may be needed for the study of the glass snake." ”

Chiyo's voice was a little magnetic and hoarse, and it sounded like a wise old man.

Although there has not yet been a meeting to discuss it, Chiyo's idea is basically the idea of the higher-ups, unless the third generation of the Kazekage has other arrangements.

"How's the research on the Glass Serpent?" Xie Mao asked curiously.

"It's not optimistic, speaking of which, Kazekage-sama's plan this time can't be said to be a failure, but it can't be said to be a success either." Chiyo said with a soft sigh.

Xie Mao was a little incomprehensible, but his heart was uplifted: "Isn't Lord Kazekage's plan to use the Glass Serpent to find out the various spies?" Could it be that there are deeper hidden spies? ”

"You're just talking about the most basic goals, these lurking ordinary spies will kill one stubble and there will be another, there will always be, just more or less. The main ones who created chaos this time were the Konoha ninjas and the Iwa ninja, they were the most unwilling to see the Sand Hidden Village become stronger, like the Ninja Villages of Fog Hidden Village and Cloud Hidden Village, which were far away from us, their spies did not move, of course, this was also because their spy power in the Sand Hidden Village was relatively weak, and it was impossible to snatch the Glass Snake. ”

Chiyo laughed and said slowly: "It's far away, in short, these undercover spies are like flies and mosquitoes, damn but they can't be killed, so Kazekage-sama doesn't care so much, and the main target of his plan is not them." ”

Xie Mao was completely curious: "What is the main goal?" ”

Chiyo didn't answer this question directly, but asked rhetorically, "Scorpion, who do you think in this world has both the desire for immortality and the ability to pursue it?" ”

Xie Mao blinked, and almost blurted out "Big Snake Pill".

In the end, Xie Mao gave a general answer: "Be strong." ”

"Good answer, but not accurate, many ninjas are strong, they are not afraid of death, they are often open-minded about immortality, there is the best, it doesn't matter if you don't."

Chiyo smiled and said, "It is often the weak-willed but power-hungry people who are most eager for immortality. ”

"Weak-willed?"

Xie Mao was slightly stunned, and quickly thought of a possibility: "Daimyo? ”

The actual rulers of the great powers, the Daimyo, are the heads of the great powers, and nominally, they are more noble than the shadows of the Great Shinobi Village.

This is also a relatively strange setting in the ninja world, there is not enough power, but because of the bloodline, it has a very high status.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama's real goal is the Daimyo." Chiyo sighed softly.
