Chapter 210 The Lost Partner

In the afternoon of the next day, the bridge across the sea in the country of Nami was successfully completed. Kakashi and Sasuke, who had rested for a day, basically recovered from their injuries. After completing the task, the two groups decided to return to Konoha Village immediately.

In Naruto and Inari's crying and reluctance, Echizen Kazuya and others still set foot on the way home, and the newly built bridge is the same as the original work. In order to let people remember, Dazna brought them The courageous Naruto named it "Naruto Bridge", and it has become a new symbol of courage in the land of waves.

"Wow! I'm finally back. I'm going to ask Mr. Iruka to treat me to ramen!" Naruto said happily, looking at the Konoha Village under the sun.

"I didn't expect to meet such a powerful opponent. Fortunately, everyone is safe, Kazuya, thank you for your help this time." Kakashi said gratefully.

"Don't worry, this mission has also made Iba and the others grow a lot," Echizen Kazuya patted Inuzuka Iba's shoulder beside him, and said with a smile.

"No matter what, thanks are still needed, I will treat you to a big meal in a few days!" Kakashi said with a smile.

"Long live, Kakashi-sensei, you are amazing!" Inuzuka Ya shouted excitedly upon hearing this.

"Mr. Kakashi, are you bringing us with you?" Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto immediately ran to Kakashi and asked with eyes full of expectation.

"Of course, your performance this time is also very good." Kakashi did not let Naruto die, and said pleasantly.

"Ah! That's great, big meal! Big meal!" Naruto jumped up happily, cheering and said: "I want to have a good meal!"

When Naruto cheered loudly, Hinata plucked up the courage to walk up to Naruto with a blushing face, and stammered: "Naru, Naruto-kun, I, I always wanted to say thank you, but, but always Didn't say anything."

"Nani, why?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

"That, that, when I was very young, when other children bullied me, you were beaten black and blue by them for helping me, so I always wanted to thank you." Hinata lowered her head and said softly Said.

"Oh, I thought it was something, it turned out to be like this! But I don't remember it at all, so I don't need to care about such things at all!" Naruto said carelessly.

"I didn't expect Naruto to help Hinata, but it's quite embarrassing to be beaten with a black nose and a swollen face!" Inuzuka said with a big smile.

"Damn tooth, get out of here!" Naruto said angrily.

After expressing the gratitude that has been hidden in his heart, Hinata felt a lot easier when facing Naruto, and looked at Naruto who was fighting with Inuzuka with a smile.

The two groups went to hand over the task together, and then they disbanded and went home. This task took a lot of time, and after experiencing battles with powerful opponents, Echizen and Kazuya released three to Inuzuka Ya and the others. day off.

"Boss, hello, Aunt Keiko!" Echizen Kazuya had just returned to the flower shop in the mountains, and before he had time to rest, Aoki Youichi, one of his little friends who had been following him, came to the door. When he saw Echizen Kazuya, he hurriedly said shouted, and then saw that Keiko Yamanaka was also there, and said hello to Keiko Yamanaka respectfully.

When Echizen Kazuya saw the expression of Aoki Yuichi, he had a premonition that something bad had happened. Aoki Yuichi had never taken the initiative to look for him, not to mention that Aoki Yuichi was here when he returned to Muye Village. They found him, obviously they had been paying attention to the news of his return to the village, and his expression was cold, and his tone was hurried, completely unlike Aoki Youichi's usual expressionless expression of emotion and anger.

"Aunt Keiko, I have to go out first." Echizen Kazuya saw Uichi Aoki hesitated to speak, turned his head and said to Keiko Yamanaka apologetically, and then immediately followed Uichi Aoki out of the flower shop in Yamanaka, looking for Frowning in a secluded place, he asked Aoki Youyi: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Boss, Hirota, something happened to Hirota!" Aoki Yuichi struggled a bit, and stammered.

"What did you say? What happened to Hirota?" Echizen Kazuya asked anxiously after hearing the words.

Aoshima Hirota has been with Echizen Kazuya since he was a child. He and Aokiyou joined Anbu two years ago. Echizen Kazuya took great care of them when they were still in Anbe. Now, when he suddenly heard the news of the accident in Qingdao Hirota, Echizen Kazuya's heart couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

Aoki Youyi looked evasively, not daring to look directly at Echizen Kazuya, and said in a sad tone: "Hirota, he died during the mission two days ago!"

"What?" Even though he guessed a little bit, but when Aoki Yuichi really said it, Echizen Kazuya was still shocked in his heart, unable to control himself.

Under Echizen Kazuya's scorching gaze, Aoki Uichi lowered his head and was speechless.

Echizen Kazuya also knew that Aoki Yuichi could not be joking about this matter, so he calmed down a little and said softly: "Where is Hirota now, I want to see him!"

"It's in the Anbu base," Aoki Yuichi calmed down and said softly.

Echizen Kazuya's heart sank again, since all the bodies were found, there was no chance of surviving.

"Come with me to see Hokage-sama, and tell me everything you know!" Echizen Kazuya felt bitter, the death rate of ninjas is very high, although many friends and teammates have passed away over the years, but Qingdao Hirota, who has such a deep friendship and is so familiar, is the first one, and his partner who has been growing up by his side left so unexpectedly.

"My team received an order from Hokage-sama two days ago to meet Hirota's team, but when we arrived, all four members of their team were killed, and the ninjas with roots arrived before us , We are examining the corpses, and we almost had a conflict with the roots in order to bring back their corpses." Aoki Youyi said in a cold tone.

"How did the roots appear? Do you know what mission Hirota and the others are performing?" Echizen Kazuya said in a cold tone.

"I have no right to know this, but the incident took place at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Tian. Judging from the situation at the scene, the people who killed Hirota did not look like the root ninjas who wanted to dispose of the corpse." Aoki Youichi said immediately.

"Tanokuni, Otonin Village? Is that related to Orochimaru?" Echizen Kazuya said with cold eyes.

Aoki Youichi quickly reported what he knew to Echizen Kazuya, and then recovered his expressionless expression, silently followed Echizen Kazuya towards Hokage's office.

"Third-generation grandpa." Echizen Kazuya brought Aoki Yuichi into Hokage's office, and calmly greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on his seat smoking a cigarette.

"You're here, Kazuya." Hiruzaru Sarutobi silently took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it and said softly, as if he had expected Echizen Kazuya's arrival.

"Grandfather of the third generation, I think~" Echizen Kazuya said straight to the point.

Before Echizen Kazuya could say anything, he was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, moved a pass on the desk to Echizen Kazuya, and said solemnly: "This is what you need. You meet him."

Hearing Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words, Kazuya Echizen's pupils shrank, and immediately knew that things might not be that simple. He took a deep look at Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and found that Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face was full of fatigue at this time. It seems to have aged a lot.

Picking up the pass and looking at it, Echizen Kazuya didn't say much, turned around and left in silence, Aoki Yuichi said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and immediately caught up with Echizen Kazuya, following step by step.

"Oh, I hope nothing serious will happen." Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed softly as he saw the figures of Echizen and Kazuya leaving quickly.

Relying on the passport given by Hiruza Sarutobi, Echizen Kazuya also met Aoshima Hirota smoothly, saw his partner who used to be alive and kicking beside him, now his face was pale, and he was lying quietly in the morgue. Memories welled up in his heart, and Echizen Kazuya immediately felt his heart hurt like a knife, his eyes were moist, but he still managed to maintain his superficial calm.

Suppressing the grief in his heart, Echizen Kazuya took two steps forward, walked to Aoshima Hirota's side and raised his hand to reach his forehead.

Seeing this, the leader of the Anbu who came in with Echizen Kazuya stepped forward immediately, stretched out his hand to block Echizen Kazuya's hand, lowered his head respectfully, and said calmly: "Echizen Kazuya-sama, Hokage-sama has an explanation. , you can only take a look."
