The tent curtain was suddenly flung open, and several ninjas rushed in carrying three unconscious wounded men, shouting anxiously, "Lord Hayabusa! Something terrible has happened! The Seventh Patrol Squad has been ambushed by Sunagakure and poisoned!"
"...It's those damned Sand Ninja again! These guys are getting more and more rampant lately, constantly infiltrating the Land of Fire in small groups, as if they're looking for something, and they kill our people whenever they see them."
Akiyama Hayato approached with a grim expression: "Lord Serpent Compassion, please help me examine him."
"it is good."
Sheci immediately took action, instructing Qiushan Jun to place the wounded on the hospital bed. She first examined their bluish-purple faces, the dark green blood at the wounds, and the strange net-like black spots on their skin. Her expression was solemn: "Ghost Head, bring over the antidotes from the medical kit."
"Yes."
soon.
Snake Ci tested three different basic antidotes on the three wounded soldiers and found that none of them were effective.
At this moment, her expression suddenly changed: "This is bad... They've probably been poisoned with a combination of neurotoxin and blood poison, extremely potent and unprecedented in its toxicity. The general antidote we brought is completely ineffective. We must send them back to the village immediately and ask Lady Tsunade for help!"
"Minato, the situation is urgent! Please escort these wounded soldiers back to Konoha immediately! Only Lady Tsunade has the ability to analyze the toxins and develop the corresponding antidote in the shortest time! Otherwise, if more wounded soldiers like these appear, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I understand."
Minato Namikaze nodded, then hesitated for a moment, glancing at Yu Mikami and Kakashi, who was standing against the wall with his arms crossed not far away:
"The matter of detoxification is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. Here's what I'll do: I'll use 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to take them back to the village first. Kakashi and Yu, you two take Obito and Rin and stay here for two days. Just help Jabami, or train on your own. Don't stray too far from the camp."
"As soon as I see Lady Tsunade and get definite news, I will rush back to pick you up."
"……it is good."
Kakashi nodded.
After explaining everything.
Snake and the others gave the wounded a quick treatment, and then handed the two more seriously injured to Minato Namikaze, who immediately used "Flying Thunder God" to leave.
It took the group two or three days to get here.
However, if he goes back, with the speed of "Flying Thunder God Technique", he can probably get back to Konoha tonight. Maybe Minato Namikaze can even take advantage of the break when Tsunade is analyzing the poison to go home and have a meal with Kushina.
Minato Namikaze left.
Yu Mikami and Rin Nohara continued to help treat the wounded. Yu Mikami was called by Jabami to assist a seriously wounded patient who needed surgery.
Kakashi stood in the corner wearing a mask, pretending to be a master without saying a word.
Obito was left alone. He wanted to help but didn't know what he could do, and he was bored staying there, so he turned around and walked away.
"Obito?"
"I'm going to practice for a while."
"..."
Kakashi watched Obito's retreating figure, thought for a moment, and ultimately followed him out, still feeling uneasy.
It was evening.
After conducting a preliminary examination of all the wounded, Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin sat down and discussed the letter of recommendation.
"Really? Senior Snake Compassion is going to write a recommendation letter for you, Yu-kun, so you can join the advanced medical class?"
"It's us."
Yu took a sip of water and nodded: "Although Senior Snake Ci said that you might need to work harder to get the recommendation, I don't think it will be a big problem. Rin, you have a solid foundation and are meticulous, which are your advantages."
"Great!"
Nohara Rin unconsciously clasped her hands in front of her chest, her cheeks slightly flushed, and thanked Mikami Yu: "Thank you, Yu-kun! If you hadn't spoken up for me, Hebi-senpai definitely wouldn't have agreed so readily..."
"It was just a small favor, mainly because Lin, you have a lot of potential."
As they were talking.
Kakashi and Obito are back.
These two guys had obviously been training outside, and they both looked disheveled and dirty. Obito was even complaining that he was starving. Just then, Akiyama Hayato sent someone to bring over some food, and the group sat around a small table and ate quickly.
That evening, Mikami Yu practiced "Hatake Sword Technique" in the yard for a while to help digest his food before going back to his room to sleep.
Silent all night.
The next morning.
Yu and the others got up early.
Kakashi and Obito went out for training as usual, while Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin followed Jabami to check on the recovery of the injured. Most of the injured were in better condition with medication and treatment, and their groans had decreased significantly.
"Huh, this bed... if someone was there last night, I think their surname was Fujiwara? Where did it go?"
Snake Ci noticed a detail.
The Chunin next to him scratched his head: "Maybe he recovered quickly and went off to move around on his own."
“...That’s true. Lin, make a note of this first, then we’ll continue the examination.”
"Snake Ci said."
He does not mean that.
Mikami Yuu secretly became suspicious: Could this guy... be a spy?
There are quite a few spies in the ninja world, especially in this area near the Land of Wind. The Sand Village's "mind manipulation of sand" technique is quite memorable. Although there's no evidence for this, Mikami Yu plans to talk to Jabami later and have Akiyama Hayato investigate, just in case anything goes wrong and they get implicated.
……
"Obito! What are you doing instead of training properly?!"
An open space in a corner of the camp.
Kakashi opened his eyes from his resting state and looked at Obito, who was peering out from the wall not far away, and scolded him.
"Shh-"
Obito raised his index finger, making a shushing gesture: "Kakashi, look at that person, isn't he a little strange?"
"?"
Chapter 59 Chase and Escape!
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, walked over, and followed Obito's gaze.
This direction is where the camp stores supplies. When the team arrived yesterday, Akiyama Hayato led them to put all the supplies they brought there, so Kakashi remembers it.
Now, beside the warehouse door, a figure with several bandages wrapped around his body and a slight limp was talking to three ninjas on guard.
"...Lord Akiyama urgently needs a batch of ration pills to replenish the front-line patrol team. This is the order."
"The handwriting is fine, but the seal is a bit blurry. Please wait a moment while I go and check with Lord Akiyama."
"No problem, please do it as soon as possible."
With that, one of the guarding ninjas turned and walked towards the main camp.
As the former figure disappeared around the corner, the bandaged ninja suddenly sharpened his eyes and stretched out his hands. Two eerie green arcs of light suddenly lit up, revealing two daggers coated with deadly poison!
"!"
The two guards were caught off guard. One of them was a fraction too slow and had his throat slit. The other raised his arm to block, then immediately reached for the signal flare launcher at his waist: "Enemy attack..."
"Humph!"
Just as the attacker was about to shoot the dagger and sever the guard's wrist.
At this time,
"Whoosh—!!"
A sharp blade of light arrived first, even though it was delayed! It was Kakashi who moved like a ghost, his White Fang short sword accurately deflecting the poisoned knife that Fujiwara had shot out, and then the blade slashed straight at Fujiwara's wrist, forcing him to retreat quickly!
That's right.
This person was none other than Fujiwara, who had disappeared from the hospital room.
His mission was to destroy the supply depot of this outpost.
For this reason, he lay low for several days. When the scheduled time was about to expire, he finally waited for the camp to be relatively undefended when the people inside went out. He thought he could succeed in one fell swoop, but after dealing with the guard team, he encountered unexpected resistance.
At that moment, Obito rushed over and picked up the signal flare launcher that had fallen to the ground: "Watch this!"
Bang!
The signal flare shot into the sky with a "whoosh," exploding into a bright orange-red firework high above.
"...Damn it!"
Fujiwara's expression changed drastically; he knew his plan had been completely exposed. Without hesitation, he threw out several smoke grenades. Then, as the gray-black smoke and dust exploded, obscuring his vision, he rushed towards the outer edge of the camp!
"Don't even think about running!"
Kakashi reacted quickly: "Obito, you stay here and watch over the wounded. Tell Lord Akiyama what happened here! I'll go after them!"
However, Obito had already rushed out first, blindly chasing after the direction Fujiwara had left in: "Kakashi, watch this!"
"……idiot!"
Kakashi gritted his teeth, immediately formed hand seals to create a shadow clone, and ordered it to chase after Obito and Fujiwara. His main body stayed behind and waited for a moment before seeing several ninja squads rushing over after seeing the signal flares. Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin also appeared shortly afterward.
"what happened?"
Akiyama Jun looked at his poisoned and paralyzed subordinates on the ground and the billowing smoke, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Enemy village spies are disguising themselves as wounded, intending to sabotage the supply warehouse! My shadow clone and Obito are in pursuit! We're still unsure if they have any backup!"
Kakashi pointed in the direction where the smoke had not completely dissipated, speaking rapidly.
Upon hearing what had happened, Mikami Yu sighed.
Ok.
As expected of the most unpredictable person of this era, Obito was certainly capable of doing something so reckless.
Just as Akiyama Hayato was about to personally lead the pursuit, Mikami Yu shouted, "Wait a minute, Jonin Akiyama!"
"how?"
"Since the enemy's goal is to destroy our supplies, their methods are not limited to Fujiwara alone; there is a high possibility of follow-up attacks. The most important thing now is to transfer the key supplies and strengthen the camp's defenses to prevent them from being destroyed by the enemy."
"As for the pursuit, I suggest you assign an experienced Jonin who is good at tracking to lead Kakashi and... me along. That should be able to bring Obito and that spy back safely."
Yu Mikami actually didn't want to go.
Rushing to Obito's aid is far more comfortable than staying in the camp.
However, it was a bit inappropriate for him to stay behind while Kakashi and Obito went out.
Besides...
The "instantaneous activation" characteristic of the Substitution Jutsu and the transformation ability of the Transformation Jutsu gave Yu Mikami the confidence to escape smoothly. If he really encountered a situation that was difficult to resist, he could at least guarantee that he could run faster than Kakashi.
"……it is good."
Akiyama Hayato calmed down, glanced approvingly at Mikami Yu, and then decisively ordered, "Inuzuka, you take these two juniors and go after them! Whether you can capture or kill Fujiwara or not, you must ensure their safe return!"
"Yes!"
This person is someone I know; Inuzuka Tsurugi is none other than Kiba Inuzuka, one of the future Konoha 12.
However, she's only in her early twenties, and her strength is estimated to be around that of a Special Jonin. But since the Inuzuka clan is skilled at raising ninja dogs, she's well-suited for this kind of tracking and capture.
Akiyama Jun continued, "You few come with me to move the supplies. The rest of you, reinforce the sentry posts and double-check everyone's identity. There can't be any mistakes!"
soon.
The camp is on high alert.
Yu Mikami and Kakashi, accompanied by Tsuru Inuzuka and a large black dog, sped along the foothills following the marks left by Kakashi's shadow clones—several blades of grass broken in a special way—and covered several kilometers in no time.
The marks began to fade by a stream.
Kakashi looked around, then suddenly froze, as if receiving a memory from his shadow clone. He immediately looked up and said, "They're upstream, about two kilometers away. My shadow clone was destroyed, and Obito and Fujiwara are fighting right now!"
"go!"
Another minute or two of speeding.
Soon, the faint sounds of ninja tools clashing could be heard from ahead, along with the faint glow of fire, suggesting that Obito and Fujiwara were fighting.
