_____________________________________

After about a day.

In the forest at the junction of the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire, a group of three rushed back towards the Land of Fire.

Compared with the tense atmosphere when going to the country of rivers, the current atmosphere has become much more relaxed and freehand.

This team that rushed back to the border of the Fire Country was Shiraishi, Liuli, and Ayane.

Ever since the root team was wiped out, they haven't encountered any enemies and passed the day peacefully.

Both Shiraishi and Ayane's chakras also recovered. Half a day ago, Liuli also woke up from a deep sleep. Although the injuries caused by the fairy art had not fully recovered and her face was still very pale, she also recovered a little strength and had the ability to protect herself.

Considering that there are many shadows in this mission, and it involves a game between Konoha's high-level executives, and that the sand ninjas don't know if there will be a follow-up chasing force, so after Liuli woke up half a day ago, the three of them worked together and rushed back to the Fire Nation with all their strength to find out what was going on with this mission.

It was about three o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still very dark.

Ayane carried Liuli who was temporarily unable to move on her back, and hurried on with all her strength, and Shiraishi followed closely.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay to go back like this?"

Ayane seemed a little worried, and suddenly spoke.

"what do you mean?"

Baishi glanced at her.

"The Genbu ninja is a member of Anbu, right? Although they have different affiliations, they died at our hands after all."

Ayane didn't think that nothing would happen if she went back like this.

Although the root ninja framed them first, but if the mastermind behind this incident is a high-level person from Konoha, so what if they know about it?

Maybe they will use the reason that they killed the root ninja to convict the three of them.

"It's okay, haven't those corpses been disposed of in advance? After we go back, we just need to explain that we were caught in the trap of Sand Ninja. If they ask, just insist that we didn't see any roots."

Liuli, who was lying on Ayane's back, breathed lightly, and said slowly.

"That'll be fine?"

"Of course not. But as long as we categorically deny that we didn't see it, there is nothing we can do without evidence. In the end, I will use Uchiha's power to put pressure on the village's senior management with the wrong information source. If the other party wants to get to the bottom of it, then let everyone know about it. Let's see how they end up."

Liuli said in a calm tone.

In this regard, Ayane also nodded in agreement.

She couldn't use Hinata's power to put pressure on Konoha's senior management, but Liuli was different.

She is one of the candidates for the next patriarch of the Uchiha clan. Within the Uchiha, she has enough prestige, and even has a group of fans who are very loyal to her.

This is the power of a wealthy family, even Konoha's high-level executives have to weigh it.

"Sometimes I really envy you, Liuli."

Ayane lowered her head and said with a slight smile.

"Envy? Speaking of which, the two of you haven't settled the matter of hooking up behind my back."

Liuli frowned, not satisfied with this.

Baishi and Lingyin smiled awkwardly, turned their faces away, and did not answer Liuli's question directly.

"After you go back, it's best to explain this matter clearly."

"Yes, yes, I understand. Anyway, it's not a big deal."

Baishi rubbed his head, looking distressed.

From where to say it, explain everything, or tell half and half of it, so that this matter can be exposed smoothly. The power of words is really charming.

"However, I didn't expect you to choose the risky way and use the unfinished fairy art to trigger Huo Dun. After you go back, for safety's sake, it's better to have a re-examination."

"It's long-winded. I can do whatever I like."

Liuli snorted, shook her black hair, and turned her head away.

"It's really troublesome..."

Hearing Baishi complaining there again, Ayane smiled and was about to say something when suddenly two figures appeared in her white eyes' field of vision.

"Someone came up from behind. It's Jiraiya Jonin, and an old classmate from the class next door."

Ayane quickly revealed the identities of the two ninjas chasing after them.

Both Baishi and Liuli frowned.

Although wondering why Jiraiya and Minato appeared here, the three stopped and waited for the two to catch up from behind.

After a while, Jiraiya and Minato appeared in front of the three of them. The two of them were travel-stained and had signs of fighting on their bodies. They seemed to have suffered a little.

After seeing that Baishi and the other three were fine, Zilai also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's great, it's good that the three of you are fine."

If these three people died in a conspiracy, then he may have to live in guilt for the rest of his life.

The clothes on the three of Baishi's bodies were somewhat torn, and there were bloodstains on them. It was clear at first glance that the three had survived a very brutal battle and survived.

"Jiraiya Jonin, and that yellow hair, why are you two here?"

Liuli asked Jiraiya why he came here in a cold tone.

"Well, Uchiha-san, my name is Nami Feng Shui..."

"Shut up, yellow-haired guy, I didn't ask you, I asked your teacher."

Jiraiya patted Minato's shoulder who was smiling wryly. Minato had heard that Ruri was a difficult person at school, so he didn't take offense at it.

"It's a long story about this matter, but the most important thing is the safety of the three of you. The village will definitely give you an explanation later."

"Confession?"

There was a contemptuous sneer at the corner of Liuli's mouth.

"Yes, I will personally vouch for you..."

"No need. Uchiha's matter, Uchiha will solve it by himself, no outsiders need to intervene!"

Liuli's attitude is also very tough.

Hearing this, Zilai became more certain. Liuli and the others understood some of the problems in this mission.

For example, the root... No, I must know it.

Especially Liuli, a ninja from a wealthy family, has excellent vision and brains, so Zilai didn't dare to fool around in this matter.

"I just do what I have to do. If Uchiha wants to pursue it, that is your business. I help you only out of the responsibility and obligation of the ninja in the same village."

He also smiled when he came, rather he said that he was also happy to see this matter.

There is nothing happier than being able to make that guy in Danzo go to pieces.

"I hope so."

Regarding Jiraiya's promise, Liuli didn't take it seriously.

The so-called Sannin, in the eyes of the entire Uchiha, is no more than that.

What's more, they still belong to the Qianshou family. Liuli only believed half of Ziraiya's words.

"Compared to such innocuous things, I'm curious as to what punishment Hokage-sama will give to the senior executive who made a mistake. That's the key, isn't it?"

Liuli's sarcastic words made Zilai sigh helplessly.

A little girl can see things so clearly. Uchiha is indeed a powerful family that cannot be ignored.

Baishi remained silent at the side, acting as a small transparent person in the eyes of everyone.

It will be a few hours before we return to the Konoha Camp.

Not long after dawn, the Konoha ninjas in the camp came out of their tents one after another.

During the shift change of the on-duty staff, the medical ninjas rushed towards the simple infirmary without even having enough breakfast, and worked alternately with the medical ninjas who had been busy there all night.

Because Sakumo Hatake, the captain of Sakumo's team, has not returned and is still on mission, Liuli temporarily serves as the captain to report the mission content to Orochimaru, the most senior officer here.

Jiraiya took Minato to other places to do his work.

Shiraishi and Ayane stayed bored not far from the camp.

"Yo, Baishi brat, long time no see. You are much stronger than before."

The voice came from one side. It was a familiar and very hearty female voice.

Turning his head, Shiraishi saw a beautiful woman with pale golden hair.

After Baishi was stunned for a moment, the other party smirked and said, "Why, don't you recognize me anymore?"

It was only then that Shiraishi came to his senses and bowed to the female ninja: "Long time no see, Tsunade-sensei."

Although he wasn't a direct disciple, Tsunade was indeed the instructor of Konoha's first batch of medical ninja experimental training classes, and he taught Shiraishi a lot of knowledge about medical ninjutsu.

"Hi, Tsunade Shinobu."

Ayane also bowed, and quickly saluted Tsunade.

Tsunade just waved his hand and smiled, "You don't need to do that, just be casual. There's nothing wrong with this mission, right?"

She asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Shiraishi didn't think about anything, so he answered honestly: "I heard from Liuli that this is a trap set by sand ninjas. They deliberately used wrong information to lead us Konoha ninjas to destroy them."

Then, he showed a very puzzled look, as if he didn't quite understand what was going on with this mission.

Ayane coughed twice from the side.

"Little girl from the Hyuga family, are you feeling unwell?"

Tsunade looked at her.

"Well, when I came back, I found that my throat was a little uncomfortable. I might have a cold."

Ayane replied.

"Girls should pay attention to their bodies." Tsunade set his eyes on Shiraishi again, patted his head lightly, and said softly, "It's okay, as long as the matter passes, I will settle the next matter for you."

"Thank you Tsunade-sensei. But Sand Shinobi is really too despicable, Tsunade-sensei should be more careful."

Seeing Shiraishi's simple, harmless, sincere eyes that cared about him, Tsunade sighed inwardly.

That guy in Danzo really deserves to be damned.

These are the pillars of Konoha's future.

Tsunade cared for Shiraishi again, and before entering the camp, he gave Shiraishi a few scrolls, all of which were Tsunade's valuable experience in medical ninjutsu.

She sincerely appreciates a simple and honest boy like Baishi. Even though he is not very talented in medical ninjutsu, he may have entered Sakumo's team because of his nepotism. However, his serious and dedicated spirit is worthy of her vigorous training of such a hard-working junior ninja.

Uchiha's little girl must also have taken a fancy to him. Tsunade thought in his heart.

"Mr. Baishi, you are really bad."

Ayane watched Tsunade enter the camp, and complained to Shiraishi.

If she hadn't known the truth, she would have almost believed Baishi's nonsense.

"I don't want to do this either, but this is the capital I rely on for survival. And I don't feel good about cheating on someone who treats me so sincerely. She is a ninja who, like Mr. Fujimura, sincerely hopes for me besides you."

Speaking of this, Shiraishi thought of Fujimura Taiga, the homeroom teacher who accompanied him through his six years of study.

I don't know if I have ended my single dog career now, but I am already a Chunin-sama who is about to run three times. It is really anxious.

Ten minutes later, Liuli walked out of the tent with a displeased face.

Because her physical injury is still not healed, her walking speed is not fast.

"What did the above say?"

Shiraishi and Ayane leaned over and asked.

Liuli glanced at the two of them, tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart and said, "What else can I do, Commander Oshemaru-sama, let the three of us return to the village immediately and stand by."

"immediately?"

"Return to the village and wait for orders?"

These two interrogative words came out of Baishi and Ayane successively, with surprised expressions.

"Wait, Teacher Shuo Mao hasn't come back yet..."

"He told us not to wait for him to come back. We should start now and escort the wounded who cannot participate in the battle back to the village with other teams."

Liuli repeated the order unhappily.

"Is that so? It seems that things are much more troublesome than I imagined."

Baishi said something meaningful.

Although Sakumo's team has special responsibilities, the commander in chief on the battlefield is Orochimaru, one of the Sannin.

He has higher on-the-spot dispatch authority than their team leader Sakumo Hatake.

Therefore, no matter how much Baishi and the other three protested, it was useless. They could only obediently return to the village and wait for orders.

As for Sakumo's affairs, the three of them are completely unknown. There are still many unresolved questions about the fault of this mission, but presumably Orochimaru Jami Shinobi, as the commander, will not reveal it to the three of them.

In the final analysis, it is because of insufficient identity and strength.

If Shuo Mo was here, even if Orochimaru had a higher status, he couldn't ignore Shuo Mo's question.

"That's it. Pack up and get ready to go."

Liuli was full of displeasure. She had no plans to return to the village.

It's only been a few days since I came to the frontline battlefield, and now I'm going back again, I'm really playing with her toys.

Half an hour later, many ninjas had gathered in the Konoha camp, and many carriages were prepared, and many wounded were resting in the carriages.

In addition to the three Shiraishi, there were more than 30 Konoha ninjas accompanying them, including four Junin. There were also several medical staff in the team, responsible for recuperating the wounded.

...

"Why did you let the three of them go back?"

Inside the tent, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Tsunade sat aside, looking at the pale young ninja in puzzlement.

His long black hair hangs straight down, and his face is handsome, but with a bit of femininity.

This person is Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief of Konoha's front-line forces against the sand hidden.

Along with Jiraiya and Tsunade, he is one of the three ninjas.

Facing Tsunade's question, Orochimaru gave a very simple reason: "The war is imminent, and I don't want my place to become a mess because of this troublesome political dispute."

"But let the three of them go back like this..."

"Sakumo can't let this matter know. He is not suitable for this kind of political field, and he might cause other troubles. Now Konoha's main goal is to repel Sand Shinobi, and I don't want to be distracted by this kind of thing."

Orochimaru shook his head, no matter what the truth of this matter is, he is not interested.

He will not be distracted by this kind of thing, and the final result depends on Hokage himself, he is not the one who makes the final decision.

"I'm not worried about Uchiha and Hinata's little girl, but that kid..."

"You care about him very much?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with interest.

"He is one of the students I have taught. I don't want him to come into contact with the dark side of the village. He just needs to do his job as a medical ninja and live."

Tsunade sighed.

"Yes, in this chaotic age, survival is the best result. But the growth of human beings is often accompanied by pain, and the experience of the coldness of the world. Just like the rope tree is to you, it is the same to me."

Orochimaru said this, looking at his hands, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, we can't do anything, and we can't change anything..."
