Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

Chapter 64 After the Mission

In the early morning of the next day when Naruto returned to the village, all those involved in the pursuit gathered at the hospital.

Choji, Kiba, and Naruto were all lying in the hospital when they came back.Among them, Naruto suffered the most serious injuries.

In the battle with Sasuke, he inspired the nine-tailed body sealed in the body. While obtaining the tailed beast coat to enhance his strength, he was also eroded by the tailed beast Chakra. In addition, he was severely injured by Sasuke. After treatment, the whole body Wrapped up like a mummy.

If it weren't for his extraordinary talent, a normal person would really not be able to withstand such a serious injury.

After Dingci and Ya stayed in the hospital for one night, they basically recovered.

Everyone gathered in Naruto's ward at this time, summing up the harvest of this mission.

"I'm sorry, everyone. It's all my fault that I couldn't keep Sasuke in the end." Naruto, who was sitting on the hospital bed, lowered his head first and said with a low expression.

"No, everyone did their best." Shikamaru said hastily.

He saw the battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of the End. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Shikamaru would never have believed that it was a duel between two ninjas.

In contrast, he, a Chunin who was instantly killed as soon as he went up, should kill himself.

"I think everyone has felt it. Our opponent this time is extremely strong, basically surpassing the level of ordinary ninjas." Shikamaru took the lead in analyzing.

As his first mission to be promoted to Chunin, and also the first mission to fail after becoming the squad leader, Shikamaru carefully deduced the entire mission process after the battle.

He found that with the power he had at the time, there seemed to be no better way to get Sasuke back.

Even if we change the way of thinking and let each member resist an enemy individually, the final result will not be much better, and it may even be defeated one by one by the opponent because of their weak strength.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru couldn't help but glance at Qi Fei who was standing beside him without saying a word.

As a smart person, he had doubts when he reversed the mission: at that time, Qi Fei seemed to be hiding his strength on purpose. Although he was only a clone, it was an indisputable fact that he could instantly kill three Otonin.

But what he was puzzled about was why Qi Fei did this, was it to let Sasuke leave?

But as far as he knew, Qi Fei himself was very kind to the members of the seventh class. He even saved the seventh class from Yin Ren's hands in the forest of death, and helped Sasuke suppress the curse mark.

The Tenth Squad, who was also injured at the time, was also taken care of by him, and with his indirect help, he defeated the other ninjas and grabbed the scroll.

Including everything that happened later, he felt that Qi Fei had always been taking care of them with a "senior" and "elder" attitude.

Therefore, he really couldn't think of any reason for Qi Fei to let Sasuke leave even though he knew that Sasuke's departure would be beyond redemption.

And at the end of the pursuit mission, Qi Fei also helped him and Naruto stop the equally powerful Jun Ma Lu.

"Could it be that the avatar has some restrictions when using power? Or was he worried about something at the time?"

In the end, Shikamaru could only make guesses in this regard.

"But in the final analysis, we are still too weak." After summarizing the whole mission, Shikamaru finally came to such a conclusion.

It is true that the opponent is stronger than them, but on the other hand, isn't it because they are too weak?
Recalling the battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of the End, Shikamaru's idea became more firm.

"Next time we meet, I won't lose again, huh~" Choji echoed Shikamaru as he kept stuffing potato chips into his mouth.

"Ah, that's right." Recalling the "Forest of Bones" he saw before, Kiba hugged Akamaru and said.

"I will definitely bring Sasuke back next time." Looking down at the scratched forehead on his hand, Naruto said firmly.

Tuk Tuk-

After a knock on the door, Tsunade and Sakura who followed walked into the ward: "What a coincidence, everyone is here."

"Grandma Tsunade! Sakura..." Seeing Tsunade and Sakura, Naruto was overjoyed and then disappointed.

"Naruto, how do you feel?" Tsunade said hello to Naruto when he glanced around and confirmed that all the members who participated in Sasuke's pursuit mission were there.

"Ah, it's okay." Naruto replied, wrapped up like a mummy.

But then he looked at Sakura behind Tsunade, and said disappointedly: "Sakura, I'm sorry... I couldn't bring Sasuke back."

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Seeing Naruto's body covered in bandages, Sakura couldn't bear to say.

"Looking at you like this, you must be brave again. You look like a mummy." She walked to the window and opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the ward.

"Sakura, I will definitely abide by the promise, the promise of a lifetime!" Facing the sun, Naruto said confidently: "All along, I will never betray what I said, this is my way of ninja! "

Looking at Naruto's bandages all over his body due to his injuries and his face still full of confidence, Sakura couldn't help but reflect on herself in her heart.

Is she too weak, has she been too dependent on Naruto and Sasuke?

If she could have the strength to catch up with the two, would she be able to persuade Sasuke to come back when he left, would she be able to contribute to chasing Sasuke, leading to a different result.

"Thank you, Naruto!" Naruto's words not only illuminated his determination, but also illuminated Sakura's heart.

For the first time, she wanted to become as strong as possible, trying her best to catch up with the two of them, and stop chasing their backs.

Just when Naruto was swearing his determination, Shikamaru walked up to Tsunade and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I couldn't bring Sasuke back..."

"No, although the mission failed on the surface. But for me, if you can return safely, it is already a success in my heart." Tsunade encouraged Shikamaru: "If you can bring all the staff back safely, why don't you come back safely?" Well done, Shikamaru."

After all, according to the news she got, the opponent's strength this time has surpassed them by too much.It is not unexpected that Shikamaru and the others failed.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" Shikamaru bowed his head and thanked.

After encouraging Shikamaru, Tsunade looked at Qi Fei who had been taciturn, and said, "Qi Fei, come to Hokage's office to find me later, I have something to ask you."

Of course it was not unexpected that Shikamaru and the others would fail, but this mission also made her discover many unexpected things.Qi Fei is one of them.

The reports from Shizune and Shikamaru made her pay more attention to Qifei: she has the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, the blood successor limit of Ice Dun and Melting Dun, and even... the blood successor limit of Mu Dun , unknown origin, unknown parents...

In the files of the Three Generations of Hokage, the only information about Qi Fei is the records after he entered school.Before enrolling, there is also a blank, only a few words of his grievances with the Hyuga clan are recorded.

Maybe the performance in the ninja school will be better, but everything will be normal after graduation.

Now it seems that everything is normal but the most abnormal.

"What do the three generations of old men think..."

Because she had just taken over the position of Hokage, and because she had dealt with the mess caused by Orochimaru's "Konoha Honkai Plan", she was so overwhelmed that she didn't have time to pay attention.

Now that everything is on the right track, she finally has time to learn more about Qi Fei's origin.As a person who may be accepted as an apprentice in the future, such an approach is also necessary.

"Yes."

Qi Fei didn't refuse. For him, as long as the biggest hole card is not exposed, everything doesn't matter.

The longer he lives in the ninja world, the stronger he will become.Just like boiling a frog with warm wine, the bottom line of the people around him will only be lowered by him.
