"Ahem! Cough! Okay, it's over. Water Gate, it's worth it. I should have died on the battlefield with those partners. It's already been a profit to be able to live for so long."

Following Yuriko, after turning a few times in the not-wide but not narrow aisle, a door of Yu-style room was pushed open by Yuriko. The moment the door was pushed open, a weak but clear speech came from inside.

This sound?

As Yuriko stepped into the room, Chiba looked at this room before she could even look at the room of Kasumi. The thought of hunger arose in her heart. In a vague way, this voice made him feel familiar, and he should be someone he knew.

"Sir Naruto, Chiba is here."

At the same time, the voice of Yuriko, who had already lowered her body, rang out.

"Quick! Let Chiba see!"

Then, there was the sound of Hakusuke Mizuno. Although his voice was still gentle and inexplicably safe, his words were slightly trembling and a trembling feeling.

This...this is...

Fire Assistant?

Is this a Fire Assistant?

At this time, Chiba also set his eyes and looked at everything here. This is a very simple room with not much furniture and a simple layout. The room is quite spacious. It is just because the furniture is sparse, so there is only a single bedding in the middle of the room, which looks even more empty.

On the cover, there was a young man lying on both sides of the bed, with two shelves of drip on it, with many drip hanging on it. From the exposed skin of the young man, you can see the burn scars left after being burned.

The young man's face was pale and there was no trace of blood. He closed his eyes and his breath was weak. He was already seriously injured and his body was still in dying.

However, Chiba recognized the pale and weak face. It was the assistant named Huoji who had shown good feelings to him very early on, although he had not had much contact with him.

That is, after returning to the village, he took him to the former assistant of the Naruto Building.

Now, it can be said to be his senior.

Why...how is this happening?

Didn’t it mean that the Fire Assistant went to perform a mission?

How could it be here?

Moreover, I still look sick for a long time!

Why...what happened?

At this moment, Qianye's heart suddenly became a little confused.

"Chanye... hurry up!"

Thinking of this, Yuriko's voice came, and Chiba felt that her sleeve seemed to be pulled, and the thought of losing control in her heart stopped immediately.

"Please! Chiba, you must cure the fire!"

At the same time, Hakusuke Mizuno came with a requesting tone.

“Yes…yes!”

Hearing this, Qianye suddenly pulled out of his chaotic thoughts, and immediately knelt down and diagnosed the young man on the bed.

Yuriko skillfully replaced the little bits.

The Huofeng Mizuno sitting opposite Yuriko and Chiba, which was on the other side of the bedside of the Fire Museum, changed his previous gentle and calm image, and there was a look of anxiety on his face.

Obviously, the Naruto Mizuno was temporarily putting down Naruto's work for the sake of the Fire Stone.

burn!

Knife wound!

Is this...and, visceral failure?

How could this...because such serious injuries? Such injuries...this injury...

After this check of the fire, Qianye's brows frowned, and his frowning became tighter and his face became more and more serious.

Although he had just a rough examination, he found that the burns were 75% of the body of Huo Jian and several relatively large knife wounds. Although he had healed, for some reason, his health was getting worse and worse.

Judging from this kind of injury, it should have been taken from the battlefield.

“Is there any physical examination report?”

Thinking of this, Qianye hurriedly asked.

"here!"

Yuriko, who was standing by, seemed to have expected Chiba to say so, and took a look at the prepared injury report to Chiba, and there was also a recent physical examination report.

And Qianye took it and looked at it quickly.

Large-scale burns, several extremely deep vital knife wounds, and signs of poisoning... Is this a few months ago?

No!

Two months ago?

This...75% burns and extremely deep knife wounds, as well as signs of poisoning, the senior of Fire should have saved his life at that time.

Since I saved my life, my injuries at that time should have been healed.

The report also said that he was cured and that the examination was fine.

I also recuperated for a while, but logically speaking, the current situation would not occur. According to the observation just now and the two examination reports, it is only possible that the internal organ exhaustion is a disease.

However, it has been two months and there are no new injuries. How can it be...

Could it be said?

What kind of poison?

That poison was not solved at that time, or was it just temporarily suppressed?

Now is the recurrence of the poison, causing internal organ failure, so now?

As he looked, Qianye's heart gradually became clear.

"No, two months ago, I was told that I could only live for one month. Now that I have lived for one month, I have made a profit and should be content."

At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Huoji's mouth, whose weak face and eyes could not be opened, and he spoke.

Although his tone is very weak, it can be heard that Huoji's consciousness is quite clear.

"Why... why can you only live for one month? It wasn't it at the beginning..."

Hearing this, Hakusuke Mizuno immediately frowned and said.

"It's Senior Huoji, who asked the doctor to say this, saying that the injury has been cured. In fact, I just suppressed the toxin at that time, and I could only save it for a while, but I couldn't save it for a lifetime. Now, it's the suppressed poison that has recurred."

However, before Hakusuke Mizuno finished speaking, Chiba who sighed and put down the medical report, interrupted.

Obviously, it was Huoji who didn't want Naoki Mizuto to know that he had lived for a short time, so he concealed the fact that he could only live for one month, and deceived Naoki Mizuto and said that he had recovered.

At that time, the trauma should have healed quite smoothly, so the flaws were not seen by Hatsuki Mizuno.

Huoji did this for the sake of the Hokushumizu Gate, and at the same time, it was probably for the sake of the village, so he hid it down.

Even Chiba now feels that the reason why he can become an assistant agent is probably because of this Huoji who is the driving force behind the scenes.

Not only is the only thing that Bo Feng Shui Gate wants to go on stage by himself, but after that, this hot room must have contributed to the fire.

It also happened that he would replace him who was about to die and assist the new Naruto.

The current situation where Naruto and his assistant are getting along may be caused by this former assistant in the Hokage! (To be continued)
