Anri met Hayato in the woods outside one of Orochimaru's strongholds. She leaned against the tree, holding the knife and smiled softly: "Hey, long time no see, Hayato, it looks like the food in Orochimaru's place is good. "

Hayato rolled his eyes helplessly and said seriously: "I didn't gain weight!"

Anri turned her head and sneered: "Where are you thinking? I mean you have grown a lot taller."

Before Hayato could answer, Anri waved her hands and said seriously: "Okay, let's get down to business. You said that Konoha Root has a laboratory in the Land of Thunder, and the experiments it does seem to be related to the Uchiha clan. Is this news reliable? "

Hayato nodded: "It's reliable. Danzo originally wanted to cooperate with Orochimaru in this experiment, but Orochimaru's health has been deteriorating recently, so he refused."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Anri.

Anri took the scroll, browsed it quickly, and slowly frowned: "Genbu is looking for the descendants of the Uchiha clan in the Kingdom of Thunder?"

Anri touched her chin and thought for a moment, "The Uchiha clan did move to Konoha from the Land of Thunder. It's not impossible that there are still clan members staying there. It's just that after so many years, even if there are descendants, the bloodline should be extremely thin. It’s almost impossible to open your eyes, what are you looking for them for?”

Hayato shook his head: "I don't know. I have to go to the Kingdom of Thunder to investigate before I can be sure."

Anri put away the scroll, raised her head and said, "Then go."

"This investigation will take a long time. How do you explain it to Konoha?" Hayato asked.

Anri blinked: "Don't worry, I applied for a long-term mission, and I happen to be in the Kingdom of Thunder."

"What long-term mission?"

"Investigating the method by which Rabbi Kiribi, the eight-tailed jinchuriki, completely controls the tailed beasts." Anri shrugged, "But this task is just perfunctory. Konoha doesn't think I can investigate anything anyway."

"That's good." Hayato nodded, "I found out that the root ninja appeared in a place called Xiaotani Village on the border of the Land of Thunder. Let's go there first."

The two walked very quickly, and arrived at Xiaogu Village in less than half a day. The wandering doctor pretended to be a wanderer and sneaked in. They were worried about where to stay temporarily when they met an old man who had broken his leg and was lying on the roadside wailing. Hayabusa connected his injured leg and carried him back home. The two declined the old man's reward. The old man's wife heard that the two of them had traveled here and were worried that they had nowhere to stay. They wanted to express their gratitude and make it easier for Hayato to treat the old man. With his legs, the two of them stayed at their house temporarily.

During dinner, the two chatted with the old man for a while and learned that his name was Toshio Nitta and he was the village chief.

It aroused suspicion, so the two of them couldn't ask any more questions, exchanged a few words, and then went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Hayato finished changing Toshio's medicine. The two were about to walk around the village to see what they could find, when they saw a dark-skinned, strong woman walking towards the village chief's house holding a sleeping girl. He came over, knelt down in front of Hayato, and cried: "Please, please save my daughter!"

Hayato quickly helped the woman up and took the girl from her hand: "Let me take a look."

He touched the girl's forehead, pinched her mouth open, looked at her tongue and throat, and felt her pulse. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be a fever. It's not too serious now. If it's If it drags on any longer, it might be impossible.”

He took out a bottle of pills from his arms and handed them to the woman: "Fortunately, I brought some medicine to treat fever when I went out this time. You can give your daughter one pill every morning and evening, and she should be able to cure it in less than three days." alright."

The woman held the medicine bottle in her hand and asked anxiously: "Then...how much does this bottle of medicine cost?"

After finishing speaking, she stuffed the medicine bottle into her arms as if she was afraid that the medicine in her hand would be taken away, and then said eagerly: "Don't worry, doctor, I won't refuse to give you the money, but I don't have much cash now." , I still have a few acres of fertile land at home that I can sell. Once I sell the money, I will give you the money for the medicine immediately. Can you please give me a few days of grace and give me the medicine first to save my daughter's life!"

Hayato was stunned by what the woman said, and then he waved his hand in a funny way: "This medicine is not worth a lot of money. You can just take it without paying."

After hearing this, the woman kowtowed heavily to Hayato several times and thanked him profusely. Then, as if she was afraid that Hayato would regret it, she hurriedly put the medicine back into her arms and ran away with her daughter in her arms.

Anri looked at it and couldn't help but shook her head in amusement.

Toshio walked out on crutches and said to Hayato: "Our village is not rich. Many villagers have to rely on hard work to survive when they get sick. It's okay if they can survive, but if they can't, they will die. You are kind-hearted and can give it to you for free. I took that woman’s medicine, but..."

He paused and sighed: "If this happens, I'm afraid many people will come to you and want to beg you to treat them for free."

Hayato smiled slightly: "It is a doctor's bounden duty to treat diseases and save people. There are so many people in your village who are unable to seek medical treatment due to poverty. I understand that naturally I can't just stand by and watch. The two of me will not stay here for too long, so I want to give it a try this afternoon. What do you think, Mr. Village Chief, of holding a free clinic?"

Junxiong was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the villagers."

As soon as the news of the free clinic was released, there was an endless stream of people who came to seek medical treatment in the afternoon. While treating them, Hayato chatted with them and quietly probed for information.

"Has anything happened in the village recently?" A gray-haired old man touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems that something happened. Some time ago, a group of people came to collect blood, saying it was used for some research. , a tube of blood was exchanged for a bag of food, and many people in the village went. Then the next day, Yumi and her daughter were taken away by that group of people. Judging from the way her man was living and drinking behind the scenes, she must have got it from those people. A lot of money.”

An aunt next to me couldn't help but sigh: "That guy Hideyori also said that Yumi and the two went to work in some research center. I see, Yumi and the two were probably sold to the hook bar by that bastard. Oh, what a miserable life it is."

Hayato asked: "That Hideyori is indeed hateful. Is he still in the village now?"

The aunt curled her lips and snorted coldly: "He's still here. After he sold his wife and daughter for a huge sum of money, he stopped farming and idled around all day. Now he is probably still hungover, lying at home wheezing. Huda is asleep."

After finishing speaking, the aunt stretched out a finger, pointed to a house in the distance, and said: "See that dilapidated house in the distance? That's his home."

The aunt spat at Xingzi and sighed: "What evil has Yumi done? Following such a scoundrel!"

Hearing this, Anri and Hayato looked at each other, and the two nodded calmly.

At night, the two quietly sneaked into Hideyori's house according to what their aunt said during the day. As soon as they entered the house, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol. The two frowned slightly, and then they saw a man covered in dirty clothes. The dirty man was sleeping to death on the ground.

Anri pouted in disgust, grabbed Hideyori's clothes, and slapped him awake.

Hideyori suddenly woke up and was about to curse when he met a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes. His eyes suddenly became blurred and he lost consciousness.

Anri entered Hideyori's mental space and extracted the memory of the day when his blood collector came to Otani Village.

When the group of blood collectors came to the village, they began to advertise that one tube of blood could be exchanged for one bag of food. This year's harvest was not good, and everyone was tightening their belts. When they heard the news, they all went there in droves. Hideyori was already very lazy about food. This year's harvest was even more bleak. When he heard the news, he couldn't wait to take his wife and daughter to the blood collection office and queue up. That night, after his wife and daughter went to bed, Hideyori was still drinking wine in the courtyard, hoping for the blood collection. Overjoyed with the three bags of grain, the group of blood collectors opened the door of his house.

Hideyori was stunned when he saw someone coming in. The group of people opened a suitcase and put it in front of him without waiting for his reaction. Hideyori took a closer look and saw that there were thick stacks of money inside, and his eyes suddenly All straight.

"Give us your wife and daughter, and the money will be yours," the leader said.

Hideyori was startled when he heard this, and lowered his head with hesitant eyes.

The leader sneered and said, "I'll give you three seconds to think about it——"

"three."

"two."

"one!"

Just when the leader was about to close the suitcase, Hideyori rushed forward, hugged the suitcase, and turned his head.

Seeing his look, the leader sneered disdainfully, and then motioned to his companions to go inside and bring Yumi and her daughter out.

The leader's two companions entered the house, carried Yumi and her daughter out, who were still sleeping, and stuffed them into sacks. Hideyori still tilted his head, not daring to look at the crowd.

Seeing Hideyori's cowardly look, the leader snorted, and then said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

After saying this, he knocked Hideyori unconscious with one palm.

Just before Hideyori lost consciousness, he seemed to vaguely hear someone speaking——

"I and others will continue to the next village to collect blood and look for people with Uchiha blood. You two will first take the mother and daughter to the laboratory in Luo Leixia.

"

Then he fell into darkness.

Anri came out of Hideyori's memory, sighed, then looked directly into Hideyori's eyes and said: "Nothing happened tonight, you will sleep until tomorrow morning."

Hideyori closed his eyes obediently and fell asleep on the ground again.

Hayato asked: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

Anri nodded: "The root laboratory should be built in Luo Lei Gorge."

Hayato smiled and said: "As long as there are clues, we will set off to Luo Lei Gorge early tomorrow morning to find the root's laboratory."

Anri frowned and nodded.

"What's wrong?" Hayato couldn't help but ask when he saw Anri frowning.

Anri pinched the bridge of her nose, let out a long sigh, and said, "Danzo spent so much time searching for someone with Uchiha bloodline because he was looking for the Sharingan, the successor of our clan."

"I just suddenly thought, are all the members of my Uchiha clan who died on the night of the genocide really buried in their graves?"
