Konoha's Clow Magician

At night, somewhere on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the yellow light illuminated the originally gloomy cave.

Hideki Senju sat cross-legged casually around the bonfire, his pale face showing a sickly blush under the light of the fire.

Two full days have passed since the previous battle in the forest. After Senju Hideki eliminated the opponent, he did not worry about his injuries and stayed for repairs. Instead, with the shadow clone on his back, he left the Country of Grass at a faster speed.

Therefore, although the injury on his abdomen had been restored to its original state using the Palm Immortal Technique on the surface, his whole body was visibly weakened.

"Cough cough cough..."

Holding back the discomfort, Senju Hideki viciously took a bite of the half-cooked hare. There were actually a lot of soldiers' grain pills in his backpack, but this kind of food could only barely satisfy his hunger and had no nutrition. He was still injured. Complete, naturally you need to add some protein in an appropriate amount.

After a while, Senju Hideki casually threw aside the half-eaten rabbit, deliberately extinguished the bonfire, and fell asleep against the wall of the cave.

Maybe it was because Kai and the others took a long detour. Senju Hideki had been staying at the cave stronghold for a day and they hadn't arrived here yet.

The cave stronghold was accidentally discovered while tracking Bolki, and it was not very secret. Therefore, even though Senju Hideki was tortured by injuries and fatigue, he still did not dare to sleep easily, and could not even light a fire on the ground. .

Just like this, Senju Hideki was in a daze for an unknown amount of time. He suddenly heard a thin sound, his mind suddenly jumped, and he regained consciousness.

Without any time to think, Senju Hideki immediately hid behind a big rock deep in the cave, slightly leaning his head outwards, holding the 'Si Seal' with both hands, ready to call out the sea of ​​flowers at any time.

The sealed environment of the cave will undoubtedly maximize the flower's poisonous gas and poisonous powder ability. Even a jounin will fall into his trap if he is not careful.

Under the careful watch of Senju Hideki, a man, a woman and a group of three people appeared in front of him.

It's Gai and Satomi Uzumaki!

At this time, the opponent's condition was not very good. The green ninja uniform on Kai's upper body was shabby and shabby, and scars were exposed on his bare arms.

However, he came back safely in the end.

Feeling secretly relieved, Senju Hideki slowly walked out from behind the boulder and shouted, "Kai, I'm here!"

"Shu, are you okay?" After getting closer, Kai saw that Senju Hideki's face was pale and there was no blood at all, so he asked hurriedly.

Senju Hideki shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I won't die, but why did you come so slowly."

After Kai's explanation, Senju Hideki realized that although they did not encounter an ambush, they unexpectedly encountered a group of rebel ninjas when they were detouring north. There were three chunin. Kai also tried his best. Only then will the opponent be killed.

"Kai, I'll trouble you to keep vigil tonight. I need to take a rest." After Senju Hideki relaxed, a sudden wave of tiredness hit him. He didn't intend to continue and was about to fall asleep.

"Okay, leave it to me." Kai also looked tired, but still insisted.

At this time, Uzumaki Rimi, who had rekindled the bonfire, walked up and said softly, "Shu-kun, how about your injury..."

"Aunt Satomi, my injury is not serious. It has been cured using medical ninjutsu. Now I just need to rest." Senju Hideki shook his head and interrupted the other person's next words.

Seeing Uzumaki Satomi hesitate to speak, Senju Hideki added, "Aunt Satomi, if the injury is really serious enough to require your treatment, I will not be polite to you."

He is not a pedantic person. If it was just after the battle in the forest, he would naturally take a sip without hesitation to regain his fighting strength as soon as possible.

But now that it is temporarily safe and his wounds have been healed using palm magic, he will naturally not do this again.

What's more, the other party has long been regarded as a convenient 'medical tool' in the Grass Ninja Village and can be used at will. Now that he is out of prison, he will naturally be very sensitive to such things. I am afraid there are also "They rescued me, did they also hold on to it?" The same purpose as Kusakunin Village".

He will have other plans for Uzumaki Satomi in the future, and he must try his best to avoid her bad feeling at this time.

"Huhuhu..."

Leaning on the travertine beside the campfire, Senju Hideki fell asleep soon.

……

After resting at the border for a few more days, Senju Hideki's injuries were almost healed, so the group set out on their way home again. This time they went smoothly without any trouble on the way, and soon arrived at the village. nearby.

Since they no longer had to worry about enemy tracking along the way, the three of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Aunt Satomi, the Uzumaki clan member you have in Konoha is the wife of our Fourth Hokage. She will be very happy to see you." Senju Hideki hugged Xianglan and smiled.

Hearing this, Uzumaki Satomi was slightly absent-minded, "The Hokage's wife, then she should be living a happy life."

"It should be considered a blessing. There are even rumors in the village that our fourth generation is a strict henpecker. ...Okay, we have arrived at the gate of Konoha."

With that said, Senju Hideki greeted the middle-aged ninja standing at the gate, "Hey, Uncle Shenyue, why are you guarding the gate alone today? Uncle Gangzi isn't here. It's really hard work."

To his surprise, the always kind Uncle Shenyue just nodded to him with a gloomy expression.

Senju Hideki thought that the other party might happen to be in a bad mood, so he ignored them and continued, "Were these mother and son accidentally rescued during our mission, or are they the same race as our fourth-generation wives? Uncle Shenyue, please put it down."

Hearing these words, Uncle Shenyue glanced at Uzumaki Satomi with a complex expression. The emotion in his eyes made Senju Hideki feel numb.

Fortunately, the other party didn't say anything, and after a casual inspection, Senju Hideki and his party were released.

After entering the village, Senju Hideki realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The streets that were usually lively were now deserted, and the occasional pedestrians passing by had gloomy expressions.

Suddenly, a possibility flashed through his mind, and he was shocked. He hurriedly handed the fragrant phosphorus to Uzumaki Satomi next to him. After saying sorry, he leapt towards the heights of the village alone.

"This is……"

What appeared in front of him was a huge ruin. There were busy ninjas coming and going, clearing out the collapsed buildings. Further away, the barrier team was repairing the damaged city wall.

"Shu, what's going on? Village, how can a village be possible..." Behind him, Kai followed Uzumaki Rimi, mother and son, and said in shock when they saw the scene in front of them.

Senju Hideki stood on the roof without saying a word. At this time, there was only one thing that brought so much damage to Konoha Village.

Nine Tails Rebellion!

"Phew...it's still too late."
