Chapter 68 Heroes (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After traversing mountains and forests, the border of the Land of Fire is just around the corner.

shhhhhh!
One figure after another appeared ahead, some standing on treetops or branches, others squatting on the ground.

They are Konoha ninjas!
Genichi under the tree finally let out a long breath.

The Cloud Ninja who were chasing them stopped in their tracks when they saw the large number of Konoha ninja.

"As expected of Konoha's White Fang..."

Tutai touched his left eye, which was covered by bandages.

If it weren't for the powerful defense of the Lava Release technique, he wouldn't have just been blinded, but his head would have been pierced by Sakumo Hatake.

"And that brat named Genichi Kinoshita, that wretched fellow!"

A Yun ninja's gaze fell on Xuan Yi's back under the tree, filled with resentment.

His elder brother, a special Jonin, was killed by Genichi under the tree.

"The Konoha ninja are coming! Retreat!"

Tu Tai suppressed his complicated emotions and gave the order.

Several Cloud Ninjas immediately vanished.

the other side.

Genichi leaned against the tree, panting.

"Captain, Xuan Yi, are you alright?"

Yamanaka En's voice rang out.

Xuan Yi looked up from under the tree: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Yamanaka En glanced around: "Where's Ryouichi?"

After asking the question, he understood what was going on and fell silent.

Compared to Genichi Kinoshita, En Yamanaka and Nagao Uchiha worked together for a longer period of time.

Uchihachi Hajime is undoubtedly a proud and arrogant person, but despite his cold exterior, he also has a delicate mind and a passionate heart.

It was indeed a bit difficult to get along at first.

However, a companion like Uchihaichi can be completely trusted during a mission.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen his companions off, Yamanaka En still felt heartbroken.

However, Yamanaka En quickly composed himself, went to Genichi's side under the tree, and patted the latter's shoulder in silent comfort.

Genichiro nodded, and after catching his breath, he quickly went to his teacher, Sakumo Hatake, and untied the bandage on the latter's arm to check on him.

Sakumo Hatake smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, you're recovering very well."

"Xuanyi, your medical skills are getting better and better."

After checking, Genichi Kishita breathed a sigh of relief; Sakumo Hatake's arm was saved.

People are indeed more likely to improve when they are in adversity. In the past two days, Bingzijue's medical capabilities have taken a significant leap forward.

Even with his near-broken bones, Hatake Sakumo managed to stabilize the injury.

"Teacher, we still can't be careless. To completely cure him, we still need Lady Tsunade's help."

Under the tree, Genichi's expression turned serious: "Let's get back to the village as soon as possible!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded, then went to negotiate with the ninjas of the border defense forces.

Half an hour later, Genichi and his two companions, along with two Root ninjas, set off again.

However, although they were supposed to be on their way, Genichi Kinoshita, Sakumo Hatake, and even the two surviving Root ninjas were all injured, so they didn't rush.

Rest when you need to rest, and heal when you need to heal.

Although he was unhappy with Danzo and felt there was something wrong with the mission, Genichi Kinoshita had been through life-and-death battles with Danzo, so he temporarily regarded the Root ninjas as his comrades and did his best to heal their wounds when necessary.

Around 10 a.m. the following morning.

Genichi and the others finally returned to Konoha.

After entering the village, they split into two groups.

Yamanaka En and the Root ninja went to exchange intelligence, while Kinoshita Genichi forcibly dragged Hatake Sakumo to Konoha Hospital and asked Tsunade to personally treat Hatake Sakumo.

As for where to report to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Genichi Kishita replaced Sakumo Hatake.

After thinking about it, Hatake Sakumo agreed.

Whether it was because he couldn't bear to refuse his disciple's kindness, or because he considered that Xuan Yi under the tree needed an opportunity to stand on his own, he readily agreed.

However, before Genichi Kinoshita could leave, Sakumo Hatake called out to him, "Genichi, don't do anything you're not sure you can handle." Genichi stopped in his tracks, understood what Sakumo Hatake meant, and turned back with a smile, "Don't worry, teacher, I understand."

"Langyi died fighting for the village; he is a hero."

“The Root ninjas also died for the village; they are the village’s unsung heroes, and I have no prejudice against them.”

"Besides, without them, I might have died on the mission this time too."

Sakumo Hatake was relieved and nodded, saying, "Go."

Xuan nodded and left.

Tsunade frowned, and only after Genichi Kinoshita left did she ask, "Senior, is there a problem with this mission?"

Sakumo Hatake shook his head: "It's possible, but it could be a coincidence."

Tsunade listened and didn't ask any more questions.

Inside the Hokage Building.

After reporting and receiving permission, Genichi Kinoshita arrived outside the Hokage's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice rang out.

Genichi Shushita pushed open the door and entered. After taking a few steps, he bowed and greeted the Third Hokage: "Third Hokage!"

"Xuan Yi~"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up, his gaze gentle: "I heard you were injured. Are you alright?"

Genichi looked up from under the tree and said, "It's just a minor injury. Thank you for your concern, Third Hokage."

"The teacher was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital. I am here to report on the job in the teacher's place."

Knowing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly and began to inquire about the details of the mission.

Because the mission suffered serious losses, he asked more detailed questions.

Genichi Shushita answered in detail, without any subjective bias in saying that there was a problem with the roots.

Not only because there was no evidence at all, but also because he knew more about the relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

Especially now, the conflict between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo is not so obvious.

Furthermore, since it involves politics, one shouldn't have too high expectations.

Even if it's just a suspicion, Genichi Kishita would assume it with the utmost malice.

Being a time traveler is just like that – full of conspiracy theories and a sense of insecurity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't show much change in expression when he asked the question; he just kept exhaling smoke.

After Xuan Yi finished his story under the tree, he sighed, "Lang Yi is a good boy, a hero of the village."

“But since Langyi has entrusted his future to you, then Xuanyi, you bear the future of both of you. Don’t be too sad. I don’t think this is what Langyi would want to see.”

Under the tree, Genichi nodded with a sorrowful expression: "Yes."

"However, I'm afraid the Uchiha clan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "You don't need to worry about that. I will personally go to the Uchiha clan with Sakumo to explain this matter."

"Since it was entrusted by that child, Langyi, then we should respect the deceased's last wishes."

"Xuan Yi, you must also make good use of that child's gift!"

Genichi immediately bowed and said, "Yes!"

……

As Genichi Shushita emerged from the Hokage Building, he felt the sun warming his skin and couldn't help but squint.

It's so good to be alive!
So, if anyone wants him dead, whether intentionally or unintentionally, let him die!
Genichi under the tree opened his eyes, his gaze icy.

"Xuanyi!"

Yamanaka En's voice came from behind.

Genichi's gaze softened instantly as he turned around: "Is it over?"

Yamanaka En nodded.

Genichi then said, "Let's go to the hospital together!"

Yamanaka En agreed, and then they used the Body Flicker Technique to leave together.
