In the 48th year of Konoha, on the day of Waking of Insects, all things recover.The noon sun shines through the layers of foliage in the Fire Nation forest, dappled on the mossy ground.

The routine meeting of the Fire Country's high-level executives ended, and after a night's rest, the Fourth Hokage and his escort set off for Konoha early this morning.

"Take a 15-minute break."

In the vast forest, the young fourth generation raised his left hand, and the five guards quickly gathered behind him.

Minato sat down casually with his eyes slightly closed, and the five of them spread out, even if they were resting, they kept the fourth generation's eyes among them.

This road is the fastest route from the capital to Konoha. The ravines are full of bushes, hidden and rarely visited by people. Except for the chirping of birds, beasts and insects, the only sound is the soft sound of leaves moving in response to the wind.The guard wearing a fox mask turned his head and looked towards the southeast. He had five senses that were not as sharp as those of the fourth generation, and smelled the blood mixed with the strong smell of soil and vegetation in the wind.

The fox got up and looked at the water gate.

Minato didn't open his eyes, and nodded in agreement: "Go." After saying that, the fox figure disappeared in place.

"I am coming too!"

The raccoon mask guard got up hastily, jumped to the top of the tree, and caught up with the fox among the branches and leaves several times.

Minato opened his eyes and looked at the civet cat's back: "I can't get rid of this impatience."

The other three laughed.

"You are usually too pampered."

"Still a child. Wait a few more years..."

Minato's eyes narrowed.

The climate of the Land of Fire is very suitable for the growth of forests, and even the well-trained Naruto Shadow Guard ninjas can hardly see the whole picture of the target clearly through the dense branches and leaves before reaching the destination.

The fox landed lightly on the branches of the tall trees next to the source of the smell, hiding its body, and looked down to see the situation.The civet cat quickly followed, the fox was not surprised at his arrival, and made a few gestures, the civet cat nodded in understanding, and then the black eyes under the mask turned red.

"It's one of us." After confirming that the situation was normal, the civet cat said directly to the fox without making any gestures.When he was going to talk about the details, he turned his head and saw that there was nothing beside him. He was a little annoyed, so he smacked his lips and jumped down from the treetop.

"Hey—" the civet cat didn't complain, and the sight in front of him made him choke.

The two Anbu's were not seriously injured, and the people lying next to them were tied with countless bandages. It could be seen that they were dealt with in a hurry, and the white bandages were tied in a mess. If it gets wet with soil, it may already be infected.

The civet cat took a step forward and bent down to look. The man's black hair was disheveled, the surroundings exuded an unpleasant smell, and his face was covered with dried blood stains and mud. It was barely recognizable as a young woman.

"This……"

The smell on her body made Tanuki take a few steps back subconsciously. These smells reminded him of those rotting corpses in wars in the past. It was really not a good memory.

The two Anbu stared at them warily and asked which team they were from.

"The fourth generation of dark guards. Are you going back to Konoha? Why don't you go with us?"

The fox ignored his companion who kept hinting that he should leave quickly, and looked at the wounds on Anbu's bodies.This place is still in the forest no man's land, there are many birds and beasts, maybe you will encounter the bandit Langren.

He is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. Since he encounters the wounded, he will not abandon them easily.

The two Anbu looked at each other hesitantly, and the older one said, "Thank you for your kindness. But with our wounded body and this unconscious little girl, we can't keep up with your speed."

"How about this, I'll go with you—" the fox quickly made a judgment, squatted down and made a few seals, and a little Shar Pei wearing a Konoha forehead guard appeared out of thin air, "—you are all injured Light, met on the road."

He bowed his head and whispered a few words to the little Shar-Pei, and the Shar-Pei responded, jumped out quickly, and ran back to report the news to Hokage.Kakashi knew that Minato would agree, and believed that the others would protect Minato well.

"Me too!" the civet cat said immediately.

The fox disagreed and said, "Go back to the teacher."

Tanuki wanted to say more, but the fox's attention was no longer on him, so Rimian had no choice but to punch the air and give a "pooh" to the fox's back.

"I'm worried about the safety of the teacher, and I'm not listening to Kakashi's order."

His muttering quickly faded away with his back.

"Your companion..." The elder Anbu was a little worried.

"It's okay, he understands."

The fox is very calm and is not surprised by the civet cat's fur.He took out a scroll from the ninja bag with his backhand, made a series of complicated seals, unwrapped the seal, and unfolded the scroll, which was also filled with dense seals.

Just when the two Anbu thought he would take out some rare items, the fox unsealed a medical kit.

Two Anbu: "..."

Fox: "There are always curious guys who want to see it, so the design of the seal is more complicated."

The two of them said "Oh--" in understanding, and understood who the fox was talking about.

"The relationship between your companions is really good." One person sighed.

"Well. My very good friend."

Surprisingly, the fox did not refute, and the black eyes under the mask softened for a moment.

Anbu has a lot of injuries, no fractures, Kakashi does not know medical ninjutsu, and cannot judge whether they have damaged organs, so they only disinfect and debride their trauma, and re-wrap them with clean gauze to prevent the wound from reaching Konoha Further infection worsens.

After Anbu dealt with it, he looked at the unconscious man, a little hesitant.

Her clothes were mixed with coagulated blood and mud, and they were too dirty. Kakashi's storage scroll contained two clean spare uniforms. If the other party was a man, he could lend him his uniform for a temporary change.Obviously not now.

In the end, Kakashi only gave her a brief treatment of the arm injury, and found a thin rope to tie up her long hair clumsily, so as not to get loose and get on the wound.After tying it up, Kakashi saw the green curse mark on the opponent's forehead that was originally covered by the hair, only to realize that it was a member of the Hyuga clan.

In addition to the curse marks, the scars on the end of this Hyuga's eyes are also very eye-catching.

Unlike the wounds on the arm caused by sharp blades or escapism, the scars at the end of the eyes look like they have been around for a long time, the incisions are extremely neat, and the stitches are also good, as if they have experienced countless professional incisions and stitches.

He had seen similar wounds of this kind not long ago - after Orochimaru's defection, Anbu found several secret bases he built in the forest, and the wounds on the bodies of those who were arrested for experiments were the same.

He poured some alcohol on the gauze and wiped off the blood and dirt on her face. He vaguely felt that the other person looked familiar. He knew he must have seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Noticing Anbu's vigilant gaze over there, Kakashi recovered from his contemplation, looked away, packed the medical kit, and sealed it back into the storage scroll.

"Do you still have water?"

Kakashi stood up and asked casually, he didn't see Anbu's kettle, it was probably lost during the battle.Their answers also confirmed Kakashi's conjecture.He still had two bottles of water, one of which was unopened, Kakashi took it out and handed it to them, and distributed some Bingliang pills.

"It's not too far from Konoha, how long will it take for your current situation?"

"At the latest... three days should arrive."

Anbu hesitated to answer. If he kept his normal speed, he would be able to return to Konoha tomorrow morning. However, in this bad situation, he didn't know whether three days would be enough. He talked too much, and he was afraid that the hidden guard would abandon them Let's go, they don't have any fighting power now, and they have to admit that what the dark guard said before is right, they don't even need the bandit Langren at all, maybe a bear could kill them.

Their worries were unnecessary, Kakashi just nodded and said nothing more, let them rest well, and jumped to the treetop to be on guard.

In the world of ninjas, injuries and deaths are too common, and such things happen almost every day.He didn't continue to think about the strange wound around the corner of Hyuga's eye, he slightly lifted the fox mask and turned to the side, raised his head and looked in the direction of Konoha from a distance.
