After calling for his two companions to stop, Hinata Shinichi immediately looked at the warriors on the opposite side and continued

"I met Mifune before when I came to the Iron Country. I just found him unconscious on the roadside. Seeing that he was still breathing, I wanted to take him to a nearby town to find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible."

At this time, a samurai walked out of the crowd. Hinata Shinichi recognized this person at a glance. This person was one of the samurai who patrolled with Mifune.

The samurai said to a samurai who looked like the captain

"Captain, what he said is indeed true. I remember it very clearly. He is indeed a ninja from Konoha Village. At that time, he invited us to have dinner together, but Mifune declined."

"Oh, really? Then what are the ninjas from Konoha planning to do by appearing in the Land of Iron at this time?"

"Um, we are here to check on the invasion of the Iron Kingdom."

"Humph, forget it. Since you saved Mifune, I will trust you this time. Follow me and continue searching for the enemy.

After the samurai captain instructed his samurai to continue searching for the enemy, he led Hinata Shinichi and others into the town quickly. They came to a simple wooden house and knocked on the door gently.

After a moment, a strong and slightly dissatisfied response came from the house.

"Who is it? How dare you disturb my nap in broad daylight?"

"It's me. Someone is injured. I want to ask you, old doctor, to help treat him."

The captain of the samurai replied hurriedly.

After a while, the shabby wooden door slowly opened, and a white-haired old man walked out.

Hinata Shinichi looked at the other person carefully. Because the old man was wearing loose clothes, his chest covered with hideous scars was also exposed.

There was even a scar from the left shoulder to the right abdomen. It looked like he was cut by a monk. It was a miracle that he survived.

This made Hinata Shinichi wonder, is this really a doctor? No matter how you look at it, he looks more like an old and retired samurai!

The old man seemed to notice Hinata Shinichi's gaze. He looked over in the direction of his sight and showed a kind smile. He also noticed Mifune, who was carried on Hinata Shinichi's back. Seeing Mifune's current situation, he shouted in panic.

""Oh my! Hurry up, hurry up, bring the patient into the house!"

Hinata Shinichi did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly carried Mifune into the room and gently placed him on the bed.

However, before he could stand firmly on his feet, the old doctor drove him out of the door without any hesitation.

At the same time, the mighty and majestic samurai captain also hurried away and continued to search for the enemy.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was quiet and silent.

After the old doctor in the room gave some medical treatment and careful bandaging, he finally slowly opened the door and walked out with a staggering gait.

While wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand, he took a long breath and said

"Huhuhuhu... This old man like me is really exhausted! But fortunately, you brought him here in time. If you had delayed a little longer, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save him."

After hearing the old doctor's words, the people present finally felt relieved.

Not long after, Mifune, who was originally in a coma, gradually woke up.

When he opened his eyes, the first figure that caught his eye was Hinata Shinichi and the other three.

After a brief recollection, Mifune finally remembered these people in front of him, and learned that it was because they brought him to the clinic for treatment that saved his life.

Because the paralyzing effect of the toxins in his body had not yet completely dissipated, Mifune was unable to get up at this moment. He could only lie weakly on the hospital bed, and said in a tiny and hoarse voice.

"Thank you for saving my life.……"

Hearing Mifune's thanks, Hinata Shinichi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.

"Don't be so polite, we all know each other, and we just happened to meet you on the road, and it's just a piece of cake to send you here for medical treatment."

Faced with Hinata Shinichi's open-minded response, Mifune didn't know how to answer for a moment, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask

"But……"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hinata Shinichi.

"Well, just rest and recuperate. Now that you wake up, we are relieved and we will leave first."

While waiting for Mifune to receive treatment, Inuzuka Mukuro and Aburame Tomohiro were not idle.

They asked around for information and finally got in touch with the Konoha ninjas that Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent here before.

Through communication, they confirmed that the enemy invading the Iron Kingdom was indeed the Rain Kingdom.

Afterwards, Inuzuka Mukuro and Aburame Tomohiro asked these Konoha ninjas to return to the village first and report the situation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

As for their Eye, Nose, and Ear combination, they would set off after they had dealt with some things.

Now that they saw that Mifune was fine, they could leave.

On the way back, Inuzuka Mukuro said

"Do you think that Hanzo will really start a war?"

The other two did not respond. Generally, they all agreed to this situation. So Inuzuka Mukuro stopped talking, and the three of them and the dog rushed back to Konoha.

……

Time flies, and more than a few months have passed in the blink of an eye, but the Rain Country has remained silent and has not made any unusual moves.

Konoha Village did not take it lightly, and still sent a large number of personnel to garrison the border of the Fire Country to closely monitor the other party's every move.

During this period of time, many things also happened in the village.

First of all, in September, Hyuga Shinichi celebrated his eleventh birthday.

After celebrating his birthday in the village, he was personally appointed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and promoted to the position of Jonin, becoming the youngest Jonin in Konoha Village.

At this time, Hyuga Shinichi already had the ability to lead three Genin to form a class, but due to the special current situation, no specific arrangements have been received for the time being.

Then, Inuzuka Mukuro, Aburame Tomohiro and Nawaki were also recognized by Sarutobi Hiruzen for their outstanding performance and were appointed as special Jonin. After that, Nawaki continued to practice with Orochimaru, and the Eye, Nose and Ear Combination was ordered to sneak into the neighboring country of River Country to secretly explore the latest developments of the Rain Country and the Wind Country.

In November, the Eyes, Nose and Ears team finally made a major discovery on the border of the River Country. A large number of Sand Ninjas suddenly appeared on the border of the Wind Country next door!

Unlike the Konoha Ninjas, they were not stationed on the border of their own country, but attempted to enter the Rain Country.

However, they were blocked by the Rain Ninjas on the border of the Rain Country.

The two sides were limited to verbal confrontations, and there was no substantial physical conflict, but the current situation was extremely tense, like an arrow on a string ready to go off.

Once one side takes the lead, a fierce war will spread rapidly like a prairie fire.
