An hour later. Peak 23S.

Fastest update

Chiba, Xuena and others were asked out of the intensive care unit by Yuriko again, but this time, Chiba and others' faces were obviously much more beautiful, and they also had words.

"Chiba, since Hirohiko is fine, I will go back with Kento. It has been cold recently and his body has not fully recovered. He still needs to rest." Taketake Shiga said.

It's been a month since he still needs to rest. Could it be that besides his broken arm, Taketo has other injuries?

Chiba thought for a moment, but still said: "Yeah."

Xue Nai also said: "This time, thank you."

Shiga Taketake smiled and shook his head, and left here with Kiuchi Kento.

After watching the two people leave, Chiba and Xue Nai sat down on the bench in the corridor. They didn't say much to each other, but there was a somewhat relaxed atmosphere between them, unlike the dull and worried atmosphere just now.

.

Although she was very curious that Chiba could use the powerful medical ninjutsu, Xuena did not ask. She knew that Chiba learned medical ninjutsu from Tsunade-sama. It was normal for Chiba to learn powerful medical ninjutsu from Tsunade-sama.

Yes, Chiba is so diligent and smart, so it is normal to learn to do well.

She is still more concerned about whether the antidote has been successfully developed. Although Hongyan is now out of the danger period, it is an unknown poison after all. After all, it is difficult to completely let go. Only when the antidote is developed, can she rest assured.

Chiba, on the other hand, was also very tired at this time and remained silent.

As for the art of extracting minor troubles, Chiba learned it from the two scrolls that suddenly came to him. Now that he thinks about it, these two scrolls should have been given to him by Tsunade before leaving.

At the same time, Chiba also frowned at this time.

Yuriko said that everyone who performed the mission with Hirohiko was dead, but Hirohiko was the only one who survived being poisoned. This was too suspicious.

The poison was so potent that it probably took Shiga no more than three hours to carry Hirohiko back. Since Hirohiko's mission had been carried out for a month, it was obvious that Hirohiko was already on his way home at that time.

When I returned to the village after completing the mission, I was attacked.

So, these attackers are to prevent Hirohiko from returning to the village. So the mission that Hirohiko performs should not be an assassination mission, but a reconnaissance and intelligence-obtaining mission. Otherwise, the attackers would not have chased him until they were only three meters away from the Leaf Village.

An attack took place hours away.

It is impossible to ambush such a close place in advance.

Konoha Village is now in a state of war readiness. Not only is the village heavily guarded, heavy defenses have been set up around the village, and an ambush is set up three hours away from Konoha Village. During the test period, no ninja village will be so bold.

In other words, they secretly chased Hirohiko over there and wanted to prevent Hirohiko and the others from sending information back to the village?

However, this doesn't make sense.

Even if Hirohiko is poisoned and will definitely die, according to the ninja's behavior, the situation must be confirmed after Hirohiko's death, the mission is completed, and the intelligence is preserved.

Leaving the poisoned Hirohiko to fend for himself is definitely not the behavior of ninjas, let alone the behavior of a group of ninjas tasked with intercepting intelligence leaks.

Well, there is only one explanation.

The mission of this group of attackers is not to kill Hong Yan and others...

Thinking of this, Qianye took a breath and suddenly felt a shadow of conspiracy slowly shrouding him.

This is a conspiracy!

They deliberately left the poisoned Hirohiko behind. It is even very possible that in order to allow Konoha's reinforcements to arrive to treat Hirohiko, they modified the poison to delay the full onset of the disease. Otherwise, the poison would not be as powerful as the other three.

Hours, within an hour, the poisoned person will die!

This makes sense. Otherwise, how could an attacker with such strength, who could kill the other three members of Hongyan's team without losing any of his own, allow Hongyan and the others time to release a request for help?

Hirohiko's strength is not weak. As the seed of the village, the Third Hokage cannot send someone without strength to go with him. He allows Hirohiko to go on a mission, maybe for training, and let him go through risks, but he will never fail to ensure his safety.

.

Among the other three, there will be at least one jounin, even an elite jounin.

As for a team like Hongyan's team, three people were killed and Hongyan was also poisoned. The strength of the opponent would definitely prevent Hongyan and others from sending out a message for help, and might even kill them in an instant.

This is already a ninja with quasi-kage or even kage-level strength, which is also commonly known as an S-level ninja.

Hong Yan was rescued, almost certainly because they did it on purpose!

Their goal was to poison Hongyan and then return to the village for treatment.

What are they going to do?

Chiba's thoughts were scattered, and the premonition in his heart was getting worse and worse. He even felt that this was a conspiracy by a big country, a great ninja village, against the Fire Country and Konoha.

At this time, Chiba glanced sideways at Xuena, and then quickly looked away.

The danger of Konoha Village is also our danger. After all, we are in Konoha Village now. As Konoha ninjas, if others deal with Konoha, they will definitely deal with Konoha ninjas. This matter is closely related to us.

, I can't ignore it.

Moreover, the reason why Hirohiko's life hangs on a thread is because they, both emotionally and logically, have to figure out the relationship, the reason and purpose of what they do. Then they have to cleverly inform the Third Hokage to take precautions.

I can't be too pushy either. As the saying goes, I don't want to be the target of public criticism before I'm even in the middle of a war.

It makes sense for the Third Hokage not to publicize my situation.

Thinking of this, Qianye took a slight breath.

Regarding this matter, when Hongyan wakes up, he must ask him about the situation at that time. There is only so much that can be deduce now.

So, the research on antidote is now the key.

Wait a moment!

Thinking of this, an idea flashed in Qianye's mind.

How could I forget this, poison! This is also a good clue. According to the medical experience Tsunade gave me, there are pharmaceutical habits of the five major countries and major ninja villages, and some of the ingredients of the poison can also be analyzed.

Condition.

This is also very important information!

As soon as this thought passed by, Chiba was about to stand up, planning to go inside and ask Yuriko for a poison report. He had just performed a medical ninjutsu, and Yuriko would not fail to show it to him, and he had also thought about it.

Excuse.

Just when Chiba wanted to stand up, Xuena stood up first and said to Chiba: "If it gets later, the shops in the village will be closed. I'll buy some midnight snacks first."

Obviously, Xue Nai meant that she might have to stay in the hospital for one night.

However, Qianye was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said: "Let's go together, it's a snowy day."

On this snowy night, we can't let a girl's family buy midnight snacks alone. Besides, it's just a midnight snack, so it won't delay things.

Hearing this, Xue Nai was slightly stunned, her face flushed, she nodded lightly and said "Yeah".
Chapter completed!
