Chapter 55 Fragrant Phosphorus
Ebisu's team has been disbanded for a long time now.
Suzumiya Musashi joins the ANBU.
Uchiha Izumi joins the medical team.
After Ebisu recovered from his injuries, he felt that he was not suitable for fighting or the job of leading a team of jonin.
After formally applying with Sarutobi Hiruzen, he became a special teacher specializing in cultivating talents.
As for Nojiri Oki, he is the most idle.
After discovering that his teacher and teammates had run away one after another, he simply gave up being a ninja.
As Shueido was one of the major tax payers in Konoha, Nojiri Oki applied for exemption from ninja duties as the son of Shueido so that he could concentrate on art.
Considering that the tax revenue generated by the other party would be much greater than the profit gained from the mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to Nojiri Oki's request.
And for some reason, there aren't as many Anbu missions as before recently.
Yamato even found Suzumiya Musashi and asked him to give himself a long vacation.
Suzumiya Musashi was naturally happy about it.
Doing tasks at work is so boring.
There is no freedom that comes from practicing on your own.
So he found Nojiri Oki and asked him for some "Flying Birds" for commuting, and then asked Sarutobi Hiruzen for permission to go out.
The reason was to go to the Rain Village to see the grave of his father Kenta Suzumiya to see if it could be moved back to Konoha.
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally couldn't refuse.
However, Suzumiya Musashi had no plans to go to the Rain Village.
He planned to finish his work and then go back and find a random excuse to deal with it.
For example: The people of Rain Village discovered Kenta Suzumiya's identity as a spy, and his grave was blown up.
Very easy to explain.
The land of grass.
Located at the junction of the Fire Kingdom, Wind Kingdom, and Earth Kingdom.
There are quite a few ninjas in a small country, and they are good at learning and studying the ninjutsu of other countries.
Fighting continues all year round.
A giant bird made of ink descends from the sky.
Suzumiya Musashi jumped off the big bird.
Today he was not wearing his own tights, nor was he wearing Konoha's ninja uniform.
The loose white robe was held up by his sturdy and well-proportioned body. Under his neat and tidy short hair, his face was handsome and his spirits were high.
The big bird transformed into a painting on a scroll.
Suzumiya Musashi put away the scroll and looked at the Kusagakure Village from afar.
"It looks quite peaceful." Suzumiya Musashi said softly.
From the outside, Kusagakure is no different from Konoha.
A scene full of life, hiding the evil within.
Maybe Konoha is similar.
They are all makeshift teams.
A certain unknown Hokage assisted and made great efforts to eliminate the evils of Konoha.
After admiring the scenery of Kusagakure Village for a while, Suzumiya Musashi withdrew his gaze.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The two figures quickly disappeared from the spot.
Suzumiya Musashi walked towards the Kusagakure Village Hospital.
He didn't have a deep impression of Uzumaki Karin.
I roughly remember that it was near the hospital in Kusagakure Village.
The mother and daughter lived in a simple room.
It was used up by the injured ninja, and then returned to his own quarters until he died.
He wasn't sure how many hospitals the Kusagakure ninja had, or where they lived.
You can only look for it slowly.
You can always find it.
More than an hour later.
After almost circling the Kusagakure Village, Suzumiya Musashi finally saw the familiar little simple house.
Located in a corner on the edge of a hospital.
There was no one around, so he walked straight towards the house.
I imagined that they might be a poor mother and son.
Maybe it's a scarred little girl.
He opened the door.
There was no little girl in the dim room.
The smell of mold and a faint scent of decay hit me in the face.
A figure lay motionless on the bed.
Is an adult.
[Karin's mother is not dead yet? ]
[In other words, Karin hasn't suffered the same fate as her mother? ]
Feeling a little excited, Suzumiya Musashi walked closer.
The long, dry and gray hair scattered on the bed showed that this was a woman.
The smell of decay and death emanated from the woman.
Exposed outside the yellowed quilt was dry, skinny skin covered with teeth marks.
The disheveled look is scary.
Suzumiya Musashi's expression was calm, but the pupils in his eyes became a little deeper.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked the dry skin covered with scars.
Arms, neck, cheeks.
It feels like leather, and the bumps and grooves of the scars seem to make one's heart numb.
The figure moved.
Under Suzumiya Musashi's gaze, the woman slowly and laboriously opened her eyes.
She looked at Suzumiya Musashi and it took her a while to squeeze out a few words from her throat.
"Need... need me again?"
Got no response.
The woman tried to open her eyes wider.
She felt like she was going to die.
But it doesn’t matter if I die.
If they need it.
You can do it yourself.
Anything is fine.
If I persist a little longer, my daughter will be able to delay for a while.
She made her throat make a sound again.
"I can"
A finger was pressed to the lips.
She felt something was wrong.
Use a little more force and open your eyes a little wider.
She saw the person in front of her.
is a man.
Very handsome and young.
But, he is not from the village.
The people in the village are violent and impatient.
There won't be such warm and gentle chakra as the man in front of me.
The man looked at her, his eyes full of guilt and compassion.
"sorry."
"I'm sorry I'm late."
The woman's eyes moved woodenly.
Then, a little bit of light began to fill in.
The woman's breathing, which was so weak that it was about to die, suddenly became rapid.
She tried hard to turn her body so that she could look at the man in front of her more carefully.
Didn't make it.
However, she saw that the other person's hair was black.
Not red.
"You are……"
"Who are you…"
Suzumiya Musashi stepped closer so that he could be fully in the woman's sight.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
"My teacher is also a member of the Uzumaki clan."
After she finished speaking, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up.
That is the bright light of hope before life is extinguished.
But soon, the light was replaced by fear.
She tried to raise her hand, but only moved her fingers.
Suzumiya Musashi held the other's hand.
He saw the fear in the other's eyes.
He said, "Don't worry."
"The people here can't stop me."
"Karin, I will take her away. The Kusashi people can't stop me."
The woman finally got excited.
She lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face, soaking the pillow.
"If you have anything else to say, tell me. Don't worry, there's still time."
"There's enough time."
Just saying this, Suzumiya Musashi's heart sank.
Even though he was not a sensing ninja, he could still sense the strong aura of death from the other party.
In other words, such an opponent is already a dead person.
The body has withered, but only the last bit of obsession has prevented the life from completely dissipating.
The woman looked at Suzumiya Musashi.
His lips trembled and his eyes stared.
It seems like there are a lot of things I want to say.
Just looking into the other person's eyes, she used her last bit of strength to utter a few words.
"Yes...be nice to her...be better..."
"Most definitely."
The light in his eyes went out.
The trace of vitality that should not have been retained disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corners of the woman's cracked lips.
Being able to see hope before death must make you happy on the road.
Suzumiya Musashi looked at the woman quietly.
He felt it, felt the other person's vitality completely dissipating.
The body temperature, which was barely maintained, was also dropping rapidly.
Became a complete, miserable corpse.
He took out a scroll and collected the other person's body, along with the few small items in the room.
Then he started walking towards the hospital.
He didn't walk fast.
I was afraid I was going too fast, and I could no longer suppress the burning murderous intent I had never felt before in my heart.
