[Naruto] Angelica

At the same time as the station gathered urgently, in the depths of an unknown forest, a Ninja Hawk found Hinata Yayoi.

After rescuing Ibixi, they tracked the escaped Kumo-nin all the way, and found a small troop of Kumo-nin ambushed in the mountains. The information had been sent back the day before, and they were on their way back now. Uzuki Xiyan was still asleep.

The two of them have been out for more than ten days, and the supplies they brought with them have long been insufficient. The day before yesterday, they started eating wild fruits and drinking dew, and their lips were dry and cracked.I haven't bathed and changed clothes for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable all over in such a hot and humid summer.

Yayoi Hinata didn't want to accept this task at all, she just wanted to take Xiyan back to the camp to take a shower and have a hot meal.

Obviously there is no room for negotiation at all.

The head of the reconnaissance department sent a letter saying that another group of reconnaissance teams found traces of Yunnin near Mount Yoshino. It is estimated that there are more than five teams. After a short appearance, there was no follow-up discovery, so he ordered the nearest Yayoi team to support immediately.

Yayoi unfolded the map and marked his own location, the location of Mount Yoshino, and the locations of several military garrisons near Mount Yoshino.

She bit her pen and stared at the map, calculating the distance in her heart, guessing the mission purpose of this line of Yunin from the only information.No matter which country, the tasks of the reconnaissance troops are nothing more than reconnaissance of the enemy's position, capture of prisoners, military dynamic reconnaissance before the war, and beheading tasks.

Yayoi's gaze finally landed on Shenbei City.

This is far behind the front-line troops, the safest and weakest defensive place, and it is also the location of logistical support.The materials sent from Konoha are stored here, and then sent to the stations in all directions on time.Moreover, because Shenbei City has a well-equipped hospital, seriously injured ninjas from various fronts are also treated here, and then return to the battlefield, or return to Konoha if they are determined to be unable to continue fighting.

She suddenly had a weird intuition that she couldn't give a logical and complete rationale, but years of experience in intelligence and reconnaissance made her feel that the purpose of this group of people was Shenbei City.While using Ninja Hawk to bring her guess to the minister, Yayoi quickly planned the shortest route to Shenbei City in her mind, put away the map, jumped down from the branch, and patted the little girl on the shoulder.

"Urgent mission, wake up Xi Yan."

Four hours later, they entered Shenbei City.

This small border town is bathed in the soft morning sun. Residents are walking on the streets, the breakfast shops are crowded with people, and children are walking into the school in droves chattering.There is no sign of being invaded, everything is so peaceful.

Hinata Yayoi began to doubt whether her judgment was wrong, she decided to go to the city defenders and ask them if they found any abnormalities.

Just when Yayoi and Xiyan were still on their way to the camp of the defending troops, the first explosion exploded out of thin air and resounded through the sky, thick smoke billowed up, accompanied by the panicked screams of the residents, and the chaos of running towards the air-raid shelter, the first explosion A second explosion ensued.

two different directions.

Yayoi and Xiyan jumped up to the roof of the building to observe the situation.The defending troops have already rushed to the explosion site, and they don't need to worry about fighting the fire and saving people.

"Captain, look there!" Xiyan tugged at her sleeve and pointed in one direction.

Yayoi looked in the direction Xiyan pointed, and saw four men in ordinary clothes mixed in the crowd. Their movements and postures were obviously trained by ninjas. She rolled her eyes and clearly saw the chakra flowing in the veins of the other party.

"Don't do it in crowded places." Yayoi said briefly, then jumped down to the top of the building, Xiyan followed.

In the middle of the pursuit, there was a commotion in the street on the right side of the fork. Xiyan couldn't help but look at it distractedly. It was a group of Konoha city guard ninjas who saw through the identity of a cloud ninja. That cloud ninja might shrink back when he saw the number of Konoha ninjas. , He even coerced several residents into the corner, yelling that one step forward would kill these people without whole bodies.

Among the coerced people was a woman holding a child. The child was so frightened that she burst into tears. This stimulated Yun Ren's nerves, and Kumi stabbed the child with a backhand. The woman immediately curled up and hugged the child tightly. In her arms, Kunai pierced her throat, blood spurted out, and she quickly failed to respond.The Konoha ninja shouted angrily, and Yunin grabbed the child directly, holding the bloody Kunai to his throat, forcefully forcing a group of ninjas into fury but did not dare to move.

Xiyan couldn't stand it anymore, and called Yayoi: "Captain!"

"Go." Yayoi stared at the target without looking back, and instructed: "Be careful in everything."

"Understood." Xiyan replied hastily, and immediately changed direction and jumped onto the building, preparing to approach from behind.

Yayoi Hinata didn't pay too much attention to that side. Xiyan's strength has grown a lot in the past six months, and there is still a team of ninjas from Konoha.

However, after rushing for a while, Yayoi found that she had to give up the pursuit of these four people.At the end of Baiyan's field of vision, the hospital was in a dire situation, and most of the guarding ninjas went to the explosion site to fight the fire and rescue people. The rest were scattered in various streets to fight against the cloud ninja who started to massacre the residents, and had no time to take care of this side.

The hospital building in Shenbei City could not accommodate local patients and injured ninjas. The government set up tents in the open space around the hospital, and most Konoha ninjas were placed in tents.This kind of tent with no defensive function undoubtedly provided a lot of convenience for the attack.

The hospital was already in chaos, and it was too late for all the wounded to be transferred. The front team attacked the hospital and had no choice but to close the door to ensure the lives of most patients and medical staff.

"Wait, wait for us!"

Several Konoha doctors carrying stretchers shouted loudly, and the people behind closed doors were stunned, struggling to choose between the approaching Yun Ninja and Konoha's people.

Lin looked back and saw that there were doctors coming out of the camp carrying a stretcher. She gritted her teeth and called another male doctor with medicine to carry the end of the stretcher in her hand. "You go first, I will hold them back."

"Are you crazy, Lin?! Unknowingly sneaking into the city, Yun Ninja, how can you hold back?" The doctor was surprised.

Compared with his panic, Nohara Lin looked very calm. She said calmly: "I am a second-level doctor, but before that, I was Konoha Chuunin." Lin didn't look at him anymore, and raised her head to shout at the person who closed the door, "Please wait for them, I will go and hold Yun Shino."

The man finally took the key and opened the chain tremblingly. "Quick, hurry up!"

After getting an affirmative answer, Lin resolutely turned around and ran in the opposite direction, took off the white coat that was too long in the way, untied the forehead guard hanging around her neck and tied it to her forehead, reached out to touch the ninja tool bag behind her waist, and counted the energy. Things used: three silver needles, a bottle of anesthetic, a bottle of alcohol, a fire bag, a box of cotton swabs, and three rolls of bandages.Full of emergency medical supplies.Moreover, the consecutive operations before used up a lot of chakra.

She suddenly remembered that it had been nearly two years since the last time she fought an enemy—and at that time, Obito, Kakashi, and Minato-sensei were still there.

"It's really terrible." Lin was sweating coldly on her back, but her eyes were shining and her thoughts were calm, and even a smile appeared on the corners of her lips. All the cells in her body were clamoring, something called "Konoha Ninja" flowing in her blood was destroyed by a long-lost wake up.

Yayoi kept her eyes blank all the time, and witnessed the whole process on the way. She was shocked by Nohara Rin's choice, but she couldn't feel the heavy determination she had in her arms and resolutely turned and ran towards the enemy.She fought frantically, using alcohol and flames to block the attackers outside the hospital gate, fell down and stood up again and again, never taking a step back.Nohara Lin knew that behind her were doctors who had no combat effectiveness, and behind her were seriously injured people who paid a huge price for the war. She had no room to retreat.

Yunin finally broke into the hospital, and the surrounding medical tents turned into a sea of ​​flames, which soon attracted the support of Konoha Ninja.Yayoi also joins the fight immediately upon arrival.She was rarely so irrational. After Yun Nin was defeated and retreated, she did not go to rescue the survivors in the tent, but pursued them relentlessly until they were all killed.

She returned to the chaotic hospital covered in blood, and found Lin lying on the cold concrete floor after passing through the medical staff fighting the fire and rescuing the wounded.Her eyes are still open.

"Kunin will not come again, and your companion is fine, but I didn't have time to rescue the other wounded in the tent, I'm sorry."

Hinata Yayoi picked up a silver needle and placed it in Nohara Rin's stiff palm.

Kakashi stood in the distance, staring at the scene with black eyes under the fox mask.

Two hours ago, he heard the news that Shenbei City might be attacked at the station, so he grabbed A and set off for Shenbei City together with the reinforcements sent by the station.

He arrived here 10 minutes ago. The chaos and tragedy exceeded his expectations. While supporting the battle, he asked where Konoha's medical team was stationed.

One minute ago, he walked into the gate of the hospital. For some reason, among so many people passing by, he saw this inconspicuous scene at a glance.

Compared with the tragic situation in the entire Shenbei City, the inconspicuous scene took the air out of his lungs in an instant, as if he was pressed against his chest by a huge rock made by Tudun, unable to breathe.unbelievable.

"Aren't you going? Isn't that why you came here?" A's voice remained unchanged.

"Of course, it's not my purpose." Kakashi twitched the corner of his mouth.His purpose was not to rush to take away Lin's body.

Yayoi Hyuga stood up and looked sideways in the direction of Kakashi.He walked slowly through the crowd, each step seemed to have walked a century.

Kakashi squatted down silently, reached out to close Rin's eyes, and untied Anbu's cloak to cover her cold body.

Yayoi clenched his fist, then loosened it weakly.Looking at Kakashi in front of her, she seemed to see herself who had witnessed the deaths of Seiichi and Ren. All words of comfort seemed so useless in the face of the irreversible reality.

"I'm sorry... for not being able to protect her."

"Lin is Konoha's ninja and doesn't need anyone's protection." Kakashi whispered, "I'm just sorry that I couldn't fight with her in the end."

Yayoi lost her mind for a moment, and she remembered Lin's mouth shape that she saw in her white eyes. "Doctor Nohara also said the same thing—"Before becoming a second-level doctor, you must first be a ninja of Konoha."

Kakashi chuckled: "This sentence fits her style very well. Lin has always been brave and excellent. It's just that the actual combat is a little worse." He squatted beside Lin, took off his mask and looked up at Yayoi, "Senior There is no need to put on such an expression, the day we chose to become ninjas, we were all prepared to make sacrifices. Lin is the same."

Kakashi hugged Lin and nodded to Yayoi: "Let me go first, see you next time, Yayoi-senpai."

Yayoi Hyuga stood where she was, watching the boy walk out of the hospital with Lin in his arms, and disappeared with another Anbe.When saying goodbye, Kakashi still had a soft smile in his eyes, she didn't know how sad he must be to be so abnormal.

At least she couldn't do it, and in this case it's normal to talk and laugh lightly.

"Captain! So you are here, I finally found you!"

Xiyan's energetic voice came from afar, Yayoi took a deep breath to adjust her expression, then turned and walked towards her.

The author has something to say:

This chapter has been brewing for a long time...

Compared with the original book, what I want to express is that Lin is a ninja, a chunin with command authority, a protector, not a protected character, and the only thing that needs to be responsible for her death is war, not those who "have no Someone who can protect her".
