Chapter 48 Returning to the Village

Just as Kimura Shingen's team was heading towards the border of the Land of Fire.Huo Guang, who had escaped with his life even though he was seriously injured, just ran hard for a while when he met the team that came to support him.The leader was Iwa Ninja Murakami Nin Oishi.When Dashi saw the flames covering his body with scars and the blood staining his entire back red, his expression changed and he quickly asked:

"Huoguang, what's going on? Where are the people who are chasing the team?"

Huo Guang's face darkened. Under his leadership, such a strong pursuit team was completely wiped out, leaving him alone to escape.

When Dashi saw Huo Guang's expression, he suddenly understood. He pursed his lips and did not continue to ask, but said:

"It's better to go back to the village first and report to the Tsuchikage-sama and the East Dead Man commander yourself."

Huoguang remained silent, receiving treatment from the reinforcements while following them towards the Iwa Ninja Village.

"You said you were the only one left in the pursuit team. Everyone else except you was killed by a chuunin and you managed to escape with great difficulty."

In the Tsuchikage office of the Iwa Ninja Village, the elite Iwa Ninja Jonin looked surprised at the Konoha War Commander-in-Chief Higashikata, and roared into the fire.Although they were both elite jounin, Dongseiren's status was higher after all. Huo Guang also felt very embarrassed and turned his head without any retort.

Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, was sitting on an office chair. He stretched out his hand to signal the East Dead Man not to get excited, then turned his head and said solemnly to the firelight:

"Just now you said that the ninjas infiltrating Konoha were led by elite jounin and accompanied by three chunin. This is the standard configuration of a special team. With the strength of your pursuit team, it is impossible to miss. Tell me, how is this? Something happened."

Huo Guang didn't want to think about the defeat just now, but under the pressure of Tsuchikage, he still told the story in detail.

After listening to Huoguang's statement, Two Scales Ohnoki held his chin with his right hand and said with doubts:

"You mean, there is a chunin among the Konoha ninjas who looks like a child of about eight years old. He uses two very powerful fusion escape techniques, and also has a set of extremely fast taijutsu. And he is still designing it. He killed everyone except you."

Huo Guang gritted his teeth, knelt down and said harshly:

"Lord Tsuchikage, it was my mistake this time. I will definitely kill that boy next time."

Regarding Huo Guang's words, Two Scales Ohnoki was noncommittal and had no expression.Instead, he thought for a while and said with a sigh:

"If what you say is true, then Konoha will produce another ninja who can rival Namikaze Minato."

"There are so many geniuses in Konoha."

Ohnoki seemed to sigh and shook his head.

Huo Guang wanted to say something, but Onoki waved his hand to signal him to step aside.Huo Guang had no choice but to turn around and leave the Tsuchikage office.

After the fire left, Dongseiren said to Ohnoki in a deep voice:

"Lord Tsuchikage, this time Konoha sent people to infiltrate our Earth Kingdom, they must have a plan. Maybe they have heard some information. Do we need to change our battle plan?"

Onoki waved his hand and said:

"The combat deployment has been implemented for a long time, and it will be very troublesome to change it again. You must be careful and don't let Konoha take advantage of it. How many resources and benefits can the Earth Kingdom and our Iwa Ninja Village win this time? Let’s look at this war.”

"I will, Tsuchikage-sama."

The East Dead Man said in a firm and deep voice.

At this time, under the leadership of Maruyama Torataro, Shingen and his party also entered the Land of Fire. Not long after entering the border, they met the support ninjas of Konoha Village, including the medical ninjas they urgently needed.Uchiha Kei and Hinata Naoto were immediately taken over by medical ninjas, and Kimura Shingen was also put on a stretcher and began treatment.

A few days later, they finally returned to Konoha Village. Shingen and the others were sent directly to Konoha Hospital, while Maruyama Torataro took the scroll containing the information that Kimura Shingen returned to him and came to the Hokage's office to return to his life.

After the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen got the scroll, he did not rush to open it and read it. Instead, he asked about the mission in detail, focusing on Kimura Shingen's performance.

After learning that it was Shingen who turned the tide and succeeded in the sneak attack, otherwise their entire team would have been killed except for Shingen.

Sarutobi took a sip from his pipe, nodded, and said to Maruyama Torataro in a warm voice:

"I've really worked hard on you this time. You should go back and rest first."

Maruyama Torataro responded and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the huge Hokage's office. He was sitting on a chair, holding a pipe in his hand, and said silently:

"He is indeed the genius that Orochimaru has chosen. Shingen's talent is still beyond my expectations. According to Torataro's description, his combat IQ is also very high. What a genius."

"The future of Konoha will depend on geniuses like Minato and Shingen to protect it. The will of fire will flourish in them."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes changed, becoming sharper in an instant, and he said fiercely:

"Before you grow up, let me, the Hokage, clear some obstacles for you."

"Does the Iwa Ninja Village really think that we, Konoha, are so weak and can be bullied?"

Immediately, Sarutobi opened the information scroll that Shingen and the others had worked so hard to obtain, browsed it carefully, and then drank loudly;

"Come on."
