Konoha's task master

A spacious and simple bedroom with soft lighting.

Reiko Aoyama is providing treatment to the old man in the hospital bed, and three medical ninjas in white coats are assisting.

The man lying quietly on the cushion seemed to have not moved. His eyes were lightly closed and his breathing was peaceful, like a sleeping Buddha.

Standing next to him were the Third Raikage and Dodai, and everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on the old man on the hospital bed.

At this time, Aoyama Reiko was using the technique of extracting the blood from the old man's body to peel off the congestion, thick phlegm, bone fragments, and other foreign matter in the old man's body. As time went by, the old man's face gradually became more red.

Aoyama Reiko took out the syringe containing the secret medicine from her ninja bag. Yakumo's eyes flashed with surprise. The secret medicine was bright red in color, like thick blood squirming and splitting, and tiny black bubbles were born inside the secret medicine.

.

He didn't know why this thing felt inexplicably familiar, it was very similar to the blood-burning forbidden drug injected into the body of the root ninja when he was desperate.

The secret medicine was injected into the aorta, the old man's face returned to color, and his body regenerated chakra. A strong heartbeat sounded like the beginning of everything, and his limbs trembled slightly, which was a sign that he was about to wake up.

Aoyama Reiko stood up, adjusted the frame on the bridge of her nose, and spoke to the Third Raikage.

"The mission is completed. I hope to take Yakumo out of the Cloud Ninja Village today."

"Let's stay for two more days."

The Third Raikage persuaded calmly.

"I have successfully completed the mission, and there is no reason to stay anymore." Reiko Aoyama shook her head and refused.

"Okay then... Dodai will help me send Ninja Aoyama to you."

"As ordered." Tutai bowed and responded.

"Cough cough cough..." The old man on the bed suddenly coughed violently, and then sat up with some struggle.

"How long can I live..." The old man's voice was dry and hoarse, like a leaky bellows, and he roared like a ghost from hell.

"One month, one month later there will be no cure."

Aoyama Reiko packed her belongings and responded without raising her head.

This is completely different from what the Third Raikage asked for. Reiko Aoyama prolongs the old man's survival. This is her...benevolence as a healer.

"You saved my life...According to the rules of the Yeyue clan, I owe you a favor. Do you have any requests, little guy?" the old man continued.

During the Warring States Period, the Yeyue clan was the underground emperor of the entire Kingdom of Thunder. Through bounties, pursuits and protection, they accumulated a massive amount of wealth. Even the major nobles had to abide by the rules they set.

The Yeyue clan can achieve that kind of status not only by their strong strength, but also by keeping their promises, doing what they say, and repaying favors.

"I hope that my brother and I can return to Konoha safely." After loading all the tools into the storage scroll, he raised his head and looked into the old man's eyes and replied.

"good……"

The old man's eyes swept over everyone in the bedroom. At that moment, his old body seemed to burst out with strong vitality, and some kind of powerful will awakened from his body. He stared at the Third Raikage with bright eyes and said.

"I promise in the name of...the previous generation...the leader of the Yeyue clan that you will return to Konoha intact."

The expression of the Third Raikage changed slightly, he waved his hand as if nothing had happened, and Dodai left with Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo.

"Thank you." Reiko Aoyama said.

The three of them left the Yeyue clan directly and left Yunren Village dozens of minutes later. In the evening of the same day, the three of them went to the last hotel to rest.

Yakumo immediately separated the tool shadow clone to study palm sensu skills. On the other hand, he sent the shadow clone to take advantage of the night to find the demon-suppressing blade hidden by the shadow clone.

Three hours later, the shadow clone returned with Fu Mo. Yakumo held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled out the blade. Under the orange light, the mirror-like blade was reflected. The surface of the blade seemed to have been made very smooth through special processing, revealing the

bright.

Yakumo wielded the demon in the bedroom, the blade easily cut the air, and the silver blade formed countless silver thin lines, as if outlining a silver net in mid-air.

In the silent bedroom, an inexplicable pressure tore through the air gradually descended. Yakumo's black hair fluttered in the wind, and the pages of notes on the desk were turned rapidly under the influence of the strong wind.

Yakumo immediately put away his sword...

With a clang, the demon returned to its sheath.

Yakumo sat cross-legged, put Fumo between his legs and quietly felt the sharpness, breath, length and hardness of the knife.

Think of it as an extension of your body…

The chirping of unknown insects could be heard outside the house, and the moonlight penetrated the bedroom through the glass, casting a large swath of moonlight.

The next day, the three of them were on their way again.

Stay in another city in the Kingdom of Thunder at night. According to the current speed, we will leave the Kingdom of Thunder and enter the territory of the Moon Kingdom tomorrow, and probably enter the territory of the Kingdom of Fire the day after tomorrow.

At the same time, Cloud Ninja Village, Raikage Building.

The Third Raikage put his hands on the table and leaned back on the large armchair, with hesitation on his face.

A few days ago, he received information from the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village. The information showed that Iwagakure sent two jounin to assassinate Reiko Aoyama.

The result was... Aoyama Reiko was unscathed, and both jounin were killed. At the end of the report, the third Tsuchikage wrote it himself.

"Konoha cannot produce another Tsunade..."

If Reiko Aoyama was just a medical ninja with a slightly outstanding fighting ability, the Third Raikage would definitely keep his promise and let her go without hesitation.

It's a pity that she is not... The data shows that Reiko Aoyama wiped out two Jonin in less than a minute. If it continues to be allowed to develop, perhaps on the future battlefield... Konoha will have one more person who can lead morale on the battlefield.

Valkyrie.

The third generation Raikage fiddled with the pen, and the scale in his heart gradually tipped. If he was just the leader of the Yeyue clan, then he would definitely not choose to pursue him, but he is the shadow of Yun Ninja Village, and he needs to be killed by all the ninjas in Yun Ninja Village.

consider.

With a bang, the table in front of him was torn into pieces and scattered on the floor. The Third Raikage suddenly stood up, his eyes no longer hesitant, like a sharp knife unsheathed, and his eyes were so sharp that they could cut people open.

He made a judgment and no longer hesitated. He opened the door suddenly, but was stunned at the door.

Standing at the door was the man lying quietly in the bedroom with a body like a bear. The tattoo on his head revealed the ferocity and brutality of a tiger, but his expression was so peaceful, like an enlightened monk.

"You can't go. You are the Raikage of Cloud Ninja Village and the faith and glory of the entire village. You cannot bear any stain on your body."

"I don't know. Only... I can do it without leaving any traces. Even if I use ANBU, I may leave traces."

The Third Raikage shook his head and said.

"I'll go for you..."

The Third Raikage was slightly stunned. His eldest brother was such a person. He was silent on the surface, but always stood up when he needed help the most. He had been like this since he was a child.

"I promised mother to take care of you."
