Naruto: The Masked Witch

"We don't know what it is. We cut off all the blood vessels connected to it, but this thing is still beating."

"Is it possible that this monster is still alive?"

The third generation couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If the brain is destroyed, and even the inside of the body is completely destroyed, even if this monster is still alive, what a troublesome enemy it would be.

"Please rest assured, Lord III. To be on the safe side, we cut off the monster's limbs in advance, and there is no sign of healing now. In this corpse, only that thing is still beating."

The third generation finally understood why these medical ninjas had bitterness on their faces.

Faced with such an unknown situation, it is inevitable for individuals to panic.

"Don't worry, you can just study it. If this monster is really alive, I will kill it too."

With the promise of the third generation purpose, everyone was relieved immediately, and after a short rest, they continued to invest in the investigation.

"Yamato, how many monsters like this are there on that battlefield?"

"There are... about seven more."

Yamato revisited the sad memories of the battlefield and found the figures of the seven monsters.

Just the combination of these seven monsters is enough to destroy a village in the blink of an eye.

"I'm afraid the village will enter a state of war in the future, so as to respond to the enemy's attack at any time."

"Yes."

The third generation intends to discuss future policies with other Konoha executives after the investigation of the monster's corpse is completed.

The most important thing is how to arm the border of the entire Fire Nation.

You must know that there are many villages with few ninjas on the border of the Fire Kingdom. If such a monster breaks into them, the whole village may turn into a sea of ​​blood.

"This is?!"

The exclamation of the medical ninja interrupted Sandaimu's thinking.

Research has yielded new results.

The oldest medical ninja will hold a ball of meat in a white towel for the third generation to see.

"Master Sandaime, after we cut open that meatball, we found a human heart growing inside."

The soft ball in the hands of a medical ninja is no different from a human heart.

It seems that it is almost certain that this kind of monster is formed by the animalization of human beings.

But Sandaimu's eyes were wide open, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"Why, how...why did Jiraiya's heart appear in this monster's body?"

"What? Master Jiraiya's heart?"

Sandaimu kept staring at the heart, to be precise, at the obvious black scar on the heart.

It was Konoha Sannin who once encountered a powerful opponent when they were performing a mission. Jiraiya was stabbed in the heart by the enemy's sneak attack in order to cover his companion's retreat.

Because it was a knife wound with chakra of the fire attribute, even if he narrowly escaped death, he walked out of the gate of hell.

The heart was left with permanent scars.

This is why Jiraiya would clutch his chest and soak in hot springs from time to time.

Because this old injury is too painful to break out.

In the whole world, Jiraiya is probably the only ninja with such a scar on his heart.

This is also the reason why the third generation was surprised.

"Could it be that this monster...was transformed into a beast by Mr. Jiraiya?"

The most suffocating answer came out of Yamato's mouth.

One of Konoha's strongest ninjas, a confidant of the Third Hokage, and a strong man who will support Konoha's operation in the future, he turned into such a corpse before he even had time to say goodbye.

He raised his head again and looked at the white hair of the corpse, isn't it the hair color he was proud of?

"I'm so stupid that I can't even recognize my own students..."

"Master Hokage, let's leave here for now."

"Alright."

The third generation nodded, if he continued to stay here, he really couldn't suppress his inner emotions.

Accompanied by Yamato, the two returned to Hokage's office.

It's just that the third generation stared out of the window blankly and remained silent.

"Jiraiya, thank you for your hard work..."

After a long time, the third generation put down the bong in his hand, and said slowly towards the empty direction.

As a ninja, he walks on the verge of death all year round, and sometimes parting is just behind him.

But the third generation never expected that after the two of them secretly drank and chatted last time, it would be life and death when they met again.

"Yamato, go and inform other high-level officials that there is an emergency Konoha meeting."

"Yes." Yamato nodded immediately.

"Also, tell the ninjas in the dungeon to continue their research and know the fundamental willingness to become a beast, and absolutely not let Jiraiya's death go to waste."

After receiving the order, Yamato quickly ran out of the room.

Only the third generation was left in the room.

Today's Muye Village is surprisingly quiet, and there are very few pedestrians.

I don't know when, a slight drizzle fell on the road, washing away the soul of the long road.
