Konoha Thief

Chapter 46
"The enemy on the border this time is from Sand Yin Village. You should have guessed that." Hirano Yi rubbed his forehead and said while breathing calmly.

"Yes, puppet master, it's too obvious a sign." Xia Shu nodded and said, and then he wondered: "But does that have anything to do with the departure or something? I mean the battle should be our victory. "

What should have been a question was spoken in an affirmative tone.

"That's true, but it's also related to this." Aoki Gennosuke patted Hirano Yiichi on the shoulder, took over the topic for him, and then said with concern: "Go and have a rest, Hirano, you are too busy these days tired."

A heavy breath naturally emanated from the words.

Xia Shu thought about it for a while, and then he understood, and then looked at the frail chestnut-haired medical ninja leaning against the window alone in surprise.

She called herself Shimogawa Yukina, Shimogawa...

This is the cruelest truth in the ninja world, life may wither with the wind at any time.

"Yeah." Hirano Giichi replied in a low voice, forced an ugly smile, glanced at Xia Shu, and then walked away dejectedly.

"Natsuki-kun, how do you feel?" Maruyoshi Kosuke's voice was still so gentle, even though his body was bandaged and his leg was wounded, he was concerned about the condition of others.

"Feeling..." Xia Shu tried to move, but his words stopped suddenly.

After waking up, he was more concerned about his hands, so he ignored other places, and only now did he notice something was wrong—his right shoulder was extremely numb!As if it doesn't belong to him anymore!

"You have been poisoned by a strange toxin, which will gradually harden the body of the poisoned person, first the limbs, then the drive, and finally the brain. As the toxin deepens, the body will become weaker, and in the end you can only let it go. I became a statue of flesh and blood." Seeing this, Shimokawa Yukina explained: "Sha Yin has always been an expert in making poison, so this kind of poison has not been recorded in the medical class."

Hearing this news, Xia Shu frowned, and immediately had some speculations about the 'departure' mentioned earlier.

Sure enough, Gennosuke Aoki said: "Currently, most of the elites of the medical team are in the battlefield of the Land of Winds, and even that adult is there, so next, the wounded will leave for the Land of Winds."

"Mr. Gennosuke has already applied to be included in the escort team, so you don't have to worry, Natsuki." Kuno Kuroyu said carelessly.

It can be seen that the cruelty of the war did not make him lose his sincere heart.

"Hmm." Xia Shu nodded noncommittally.

"Xia Shu, do you have any questions?" Seeing the boy hesitant to speak, Aoki Gennosuke asked casually.

"Yes." Xia Shu nodded, and tentatively asked with a small face: "About this matter, how is the follow-up?"

The matter has passed. For a ninja like Natsuki, there is really no need to continue to pay attention. His humble status is not enough to influence the strength of others, and his words and actions are doomed to have little weight.

A ninja is a tool, which is really a true portrayal of ordinary ninjas.

However, Natsuki is not an ordinary ninja after all, and he has a different view on the affairs of the ninja world. Driven by his curiosity, he has a special desire to clear the clouds and mists about the incident that happened before. desire for truth.

"The support came later, and after a fierce battle, we won!" Kuno Heiyu seemed to have returned to that battle, but unlike the fear at that time, he was in high spirits at this moment, as if he was leading the battle won the battle.

"At that time I noticed the arrival of support, so it's normal to win in the end, but, Mr. Gennosuke, this is not what I want to know." Xia Shu shook his head, took a breath, and said: "Though the number of sand ninjas who attacked , the overall strength is very strong, but even I can see the immature combat experience, so their goal is not simply the border guards!"

The information that Xia Shu knows can only be speculated so far. He doesn't know the subsequent development of the situation, and whether he has captured the captives. Naturally, he can't judge the real purpose of Sa Yin's arrival this time.

However, since nothing happened in the follow-up, it can be inferred that Shayin's action ended in failure.

The simple medical room fell silent following Xia Shu's words, and after these words were finished, it became completely silent.

It was the medical ninja Shimogawa Yukina who broke the atmosphere. This weak woman vaguely sensed the seriousness of this topic and left the medical room first.

The door of the medical room was closed, Gennosuke Aoki sighed quietly, and said with a wry smile: "I was not qualified to touch this in the first place."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kosuke Maruyoshi next to him, who would have thought that this squinting, kind-looking guy was even stronger than ordinary Jōnin!

"Hey, since you have guessed something, let me tell you everything, so as to save you from guessing randomly." Aoki Gennosuke tilted his head and smiled. He was already very lucky that all members of the team survived the battle.

"Say it, say it!" Kuno Heiyu urged on.

"This is a secret, don't talk nonsense after hearing it!" Aoki Gennosuke looked at Kuno Kuroyu, and the situation at the beginning of the previous battle suddenly appeared in his mind, and he warned very seriously.

"Oh! Teacher, you are so wordy, I promise you will not talk nonsense, so, hurry up!" Kuno Kuroyu agreed without hesitation, this attitude made Aoki Gennosuke's mouth twitch, inexplicably worried stand up.

Otherwise, why not say it?
Facing the young man's stare, his thought just flashed by.

"Xia Shu, you can guess the final victory, but you definitely didn't expect to capture the opponent's leader alive!" Aoki Gennosuke was a little proud, after all, he brought all the support that finally decided the battle.

"Is there any gain?" Since he was captured alive, he must have dug up something.

"Hmm." Gennosuke Aoki nodded and said, "Those ninjas are indeed from Sagakure Village. The leader's name is Sano Futa. They followed Elder Sagakure's order and carried out a raid mission. This is what it says on the surface."

"What about the deeper level?" Xia Shu hurriedly asked.

"Most of the subordinates led by Sano Futa come from the civilian positions of Sand Hidden, this is because they have little combat experience." Aoki Gennosuke continued: "The significance of such behavior is to ensure that the action plan will not be leaked, of course , I feel that Sha Yin has no soldiers to fight."

For this view, compared with preventing the leak of the action plan, Natsuki also agrees more. It's not that he knows the internal situation of Sand Yin, but according to the development of the plot, Sand Yin was indeed defeated in the war.
