Konoha's Balanced Ninja System

In the deep jungle of the Country of Fire, "Pa!" stepped on a thick branch, knocking down large leaves. Then, several figures could be seen moving quickly through the trees.

Naturally it was Kakashi, Hiiragi and Gaara.

Kakashi was carrying Naruto on his back, and it could be seen that Kakashi-sensei was feeling a little heavy, so Hiiragi remained silent, and Gaara himself was a man of few words.

So when the few people returned from the Valley of the End along the original path, they were basically moving at full speed, and no one said anything.

Nearly a day has passed since we separated from Shikamaru and the others one by one. I wonder what the specific situation of these people is now?

In addition, the strength of the four sound ninjas is not low, and Hiirato can't help but feel a little worried now.

"Kakashi-sensei."

But Naruto behind Kakashi slowly woke up. After Naruto saw the familiar Kakashi in front of him, he immediately spoke, but due to excessive chakra consumption and injury, Naruto's voice was very weak. .

But for the team that was very quiet at this time, several people could hear clearly.

"Where's Sasuke Sasuke?"

After hearing Naruto's question, Kakashi fell silent and did not speak. Hiiragi on the side didn't know what to say, and the place seemed even quieter for a while.

Seeing that no one answered, and the expressions on his face, Naruto naturally understood what was going on. His face showed disappointment and increasing exhaustion. He could no longer hold on and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Hiiragi suddenly felt an unknown feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell what was going on, but he just felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

"Whizzing!"

There were a few soft noises, and Hiirato was slightly startled, because he could hear the sound of other people flying quickly among the trees. However, with Mr. Kakashi beside him at this time, Hiirato was not too panicked and looked up.

Sure enough, several figures were flying out of the woods on the side.

These people were all dressed in white medical clothing and wore Konoha forehead protectors on their heads. It was obvious that they were from the village's medical team.

"Kakashi!"

The leader was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties. After confirming that it was Kakashi, he immediately came over.

"We are the medical team sent by Hokage-sama. How is Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Well, it's okay, slightly injured, just excessive chakra consumption."

Kakashi responded.

"By the way, how are the other genin doing?"

Kakashi saw the medical team that had arrived here, and immediately guessed that the other people should have been taken back by the medical team, because those people were closer to the village.

"Yes, the medical teams that arrived have been searching for the injured in various places, giving emergency treatment and escorting them back!"

"Really? What's the specific situation?"

"Yes, Shikamaru Nara has minor injuries. Kiba Inuzuka has deep wounds but is not life-threatening. Neji Hyuga and Choji Akimichi are both seriously injured and unconscious."

Really?

Hiiragi's heart sank, especially when he heard that Neji and Choji were seriously injured and fell unconscious in the end, he was even more worried. After all, if he remembered correctly, Neji and Choji had no reinforcements.

In other words, when facing two of the four enemies who could be cursed and sealed, they both defeated their opponents alone!

Everyone is very strong!

Hiiragi sighed in his heart.

In Konoha Hospital, after Kakashi and the others rushed back after running at high speed, Kakashi took Hiirato to rest first, while Hiirato ran non-stop in the hospital until he was finally in the emergency treatment room No. 6 Shikamaru was found on the bench at the door.

On the other side of the bench was Sunagakure's Temari.

The reason why Temari appears here is naturally because she happened to go to support Shikamaru.

Also coming with Hiiragi was Gaara.

Gaara had actually gradually changed his original cold-blooded personality after his previous experience, and Hiirato didn't pay attention because he was anxious, so Gaara came to the hospital with Hiirato.

Shikamaru was stunned when Hiirato appeared. After seeing that Hiirato was only slightly injured, his eyes showed some relief.

After all, in this six-person pursuit team, only Shikamaru and Hiirato were slightly injured and conscious.

Hiirato didn't say much, but immediately sat next to Shikamaru. This emergency treatment room No. 6 was Choji's emergency room.

Shikamaru has been sitting here looking restless, but Hiirato understands Shikamaru's mood very well.

Because among the six people in the pursuit team, only Neji and Choji were seriously injured, because they both stopped and defeated powerful enemies alone.

Choji had no choice but to use the Akimichi family's secret three-color pill to hold back Jirobo, who was cursed by the four of them. Although he defeated his opponent Jirobo, he also paid a huge price.

This cost is far more than serious injury, because you may die!

As for Neji, the cursed Kidomaru penetrated his chest and almost hurt his heart. Now he is seriously injured and comatose, on the verge of death.

No wonder Shikamaru is so anxious now

"There is nothing you can do if you are impatient now. If there is a mission, there will be sacrifices. For those of us ninjas who have received spiritual training, we must remain calm no matter what happens."

Temari crossed her legs and looked at Shikamaru helplessly.

Shikamaru raised his head when he heard this, looked at Temari, and remained silent for a moment before answering, "I know what it is like to perform a mission, and I also know in my heart that this is the world of ninjas."

Shikamaru's voice deepened, "In this mission, I served as captain for the first time, and then caused the current situation. Maybe I am not suitable to be a ninja."

"I was too naive. It was all my fault for my lack of ability."

Having said this, Shikamaru clenched his right hand tightly and stood up directly.

Temari frowned when she saw this, "Are you afraid of being hurt?"

Shikamaru's expression paused when he heard this, but he still walked away thinking about the location of the stairs.

"Shikamaru"

Just when Shikamaru reached the window at the stairs, Hiirato suddenly spoke.

Hiirato raised his head and looked carefully at Shikamaru's back in front of him, and said slowly: "If you were not the captain this time, do you think we wouldn't chase Sasuke?"

"I will definitely go, and there will be no hesitation. In this case, there will still be a new captain, and the new captain will still lead us to carry out the mission, and we will still be injured or even die."

Hiirato paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "But if the captain were you, our casualties would be minimized because of you."

"But the one with the highest IQ among us!"

When Hiirato said this, Shikamaru's body visibly trembled, his fists clenched, and his body began to tremble slightly, and then a few tears fell to the ground.

“next time next time me”

Shikamaru's voice was choked with sobs, but he said resolutely, "I will complete the task perfectly and I will never let everyone down!"
