(This one has fewer words. Because I update slowly, the plot development is also slow. This time, I will try to update more every day.)
The Shark Sea returned to its calm state, and Ye Xing and the other six had already left. Not long after, a figure appeared from the water surface and slowly swam towards the Sea Country. What was surprising was that the sharks did not seem to see this figure and had no intention of attacking him at all!
On the other side, the Hellbird carried the Wind Flower Temple's Gong He and flew back to Mu Ye at high speed. Fortunately, he had hidden the Hellbird card. Otherwise, if the six of them knew that he could still escape from the sky and were prepared, he would be completely finished today! The moment he fainted, such a thought appeared in Feng Hua Temple's mind. The Hellbird flew very fast. It had never been so anxious before. Of course, it knew the current situation of Fenghua Temple. Although it had escaped, its injuries could endanger its life if it was not treated in time!
Perhaps no other bird could catch up to the Hellbird at its current speed. At full speed, it looked extremely terrifying. Its huge body brought with it a whistling airflow, and the ghost fire on its body dragged out a long tail. From afar, it looked like a beautiful blue silk streaking across the sky!
Hurry up! Faster! At this moment, the Hellbird's figure could not be seen clearly. It left behind countless afterimages as it tore through the air. Not long after, the Country of Fire entered his sight!
At this time, Kakashi, who had just finished the mission in the Country of Waves, brought Naruto, Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura along the way back to Koba. These people were obviously extremely relaxed, while Naruto was even more excited. It seemed that something happy had happened in this mission.
" Kakashi!" From afar, a shout reached their ears. The voice was filled with anxiety and anger.
Kakashi put away the indecent book in his hand and looked behind him in confusion. He didn't see anyone. "Who's calling me?" Just as he was puzzled, another voice was heard. This time, it was much clearer. He looked up at the sky in surprise, and his eyes, which were originally listless and drooping, instantly widened. It was a bird, a bird that had been rushing over at high speed. Blue flames, its incomparably huge body that was constantly enlarging. Was it an illusion? Kakashi revealed an extremely anxious expression when he saw this bird!？The other three also saw the bird, and their expressions were wonderful. Who had ever seen such a big and scary bird?
"Kakashi, hurry! Jump up!" In an instant, the Hellbird appeared in front of the four of them. The air current it brought with it was like a strong wind sweeping through the forest road. Naruto was almost blown away by the strong air current!
Of course, Kakashi knew that this bird was the Hellbird that Fuuhana Temple had mentioned. Whether it was its appearance or the aura of flames, he was extremely familiar with it. Without any hesitation, he carried Naruto and the other two, who were still in a state of shock, and jumped onto the Hellbird's back. He then saw Fuuhana Temple lying on the broad feather back. The white kimono on his body had long been dyed brownish-red by blood, and the wounds on his body were sticking together as if he was showing off. There were two shocking gaping wounds on her waist and abdomen. The largest one was still bleeding. At this moment, her face was ashen and her brows were tightly furrowed. Clearly, her condition was very bad!
" This…" Kakashi was incomparably shocked. He had never expected to see such a scene." What's going on?!"？What exactly happened?" While he was in shock, Naruto and the others were also surprised. They ran over, and Sasuke checked the breathing of Fuuhana Temple and heaved a sigh of relief." Fortunately, he's still alive!"”
"Sister Gong He!" Naruto stepped forward and wanted to grab Fuuhana Temple's arm, but Haruno Sakura stopped him." It's better not to touch her now. Be careful not to touch her wound again!"”
"Let's go back to Muye first. Everyone, wait here. I'm going to speed up again!”The Hellbird replied anxiously, once again spreading its wings and charging at Mu Ye with all its might.

Hanaya, Shower, and White Tail, who had yet to go on a mission, stood outside an operating theater in the hospital. They looked extremely anxious as they paced around. Kakashi, who was covered in blood, sat on a bench beside them. He was puzzled. As an older brother, he knew the abilities of Fenghua Temple the best. After so long of learning from each other, he more or less understood her strength. Although he was not very experienced, her ability and strength were very good. He was actually injured so badly with such strength. Just how powerful was his opponent? Clenching his hands, he muttered to himself, What kind of enemy was it that Gong He had to risk his life to escape?”
"Is Big Sister Gong He alright? Really? Na! Here!" Naruto tugged at Hanaka's sleeve and asked anxiously.
Sasuke pulled him back." Be quiet, this is a hospital! Naruto!"
When Kakashi and the others returned to Muye, the Hellbird had returned to the soul of Feng Hua Temple. With its powerful soul power, the Hellbird could at least reduce the damage to the soul of Feng Hua Temple. At the same time, it could also prevent unnecessary disturbances. Kakashi, on the other hand, rushed straight into the hospital with the Fenghua Temple in his arms. He did not even bother to complete the report required for the handover of the mission. Then, this matter reached the ears of Hua Jia and the others who had just returned from their mission. These people rushed over anxiously, resulting in this scene.
Just as everyone was worried, Qi Huo also rushed over in a hurry. He pulled White Tail's collar and asked,"Where's Sister Gong He? Where is it?"
"Be quiet, Qi Huo! "Gong He is currently receiving emergency treatment." Kakashi grabbed Qi Huo and pressed him against the bench. He pointed at the door beside him and said,"That's the operating room. Look carefully!" Oh right, there's something I need to tell you. Gong He asked the Hellbird to tell you that you're not allowed to step out of Muye during this period of time!”
When Qi Huo of Vermillion Bird Hall heard this, she was stunned." You're not allowed to step out of the leaf? Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something and was instantly furious."Did Sister Gong He become like this because of me?" This time, the person who caused trouble for her was actually looking for me, right?!”
Kakashi covered Qi Huo's mouth and said helplessly,"Calm down, the situation is still unclear! Only Gong He knew what was going on. He would ask her when she woke up!”
Qi Huo shook off Kakashi's hand and stood up." That must be the case. I'll go find Lord Naruto!"”Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and ran away.
After a long time, the emergency treatment for Feng Hua Temple was finally over. The doctors and medical ninjas who walked out of the operating theater were exhausted. Meanwhile, the people outside who had been waiting anxiously instantly surrounded the few of them and started asking questions at once.
The Medical Ninja waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. He took off his mask and said,""The current situation has finally stabilized, but this is only temporary. Her injuries were very serious. On the surface, they seemed to be serious external injuries, but after treatment, she found that these wounds were very difficult to heal. It was as if someone had cast some kind of corrosive curse on them. There was a repulsive force on the surface of the wounds that affected the healing. She had lost a lot of blood when she was given emergency treatment. In addition, the chakra was almost completely exhausted. Even if her life was not in danger for the time being, it was not optimistic. She would probably fall into a coma for the next period of time.”
"Is that so? Is there any possibility of her waking up in the near future?”Kakashi pressed Naruto's head to prevent him from talking nonsense and asked the Medical Ninja seriously.
The man shook his head." I don't know. We can only see the situation."”
The situation here had temporarily stabilized, and Feng Hua Temple had also moved into the intensive care room. However, the other side was in an uproar. After Qi Huo ran out of the hospital, he rushed into the Fire Shadow Tower and knocked on the door of the third generation Naruto's office.
"Third generation Lord Naruto, what was the mission that Sister Gong He accepted not long ago?”Qihuo ran in and said this. The third generation Naruto and the other ninjas in the office were all confused. They still did not know that the Fuka Temple was seriously injured after being surrounded.
"Hmm?" The third generation Naruto was puzzled. He took out a scroll from a stack of scrolls and looked at it."It's a mission to protect the princess of the Sea Country and worship the ancestors. It's a B-rank mission.”
When Qi Huo heard this, he snatched the scroll and quickly looked at it. After memorizing the address, he turned around and was about to rush out, but he was pulled back by Mitarai Red Bean.
"What exactly happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”Mitarai Washing Red Bean once again reached out and savagely ravaged Qi Huo's hair. This little brat was very likable.
" Sister Gong He is in the hospital for emergency treatment now. Brother Kakashi is also there. I'm not too sure what exactly happened, but…" But I can roughly guess what happened! Qi Huo did not finish his sentence. He removed Mitarai Washing Red Bean's demonic claws and ran out in a flash.
However, no one stopped Qi Huo when he ran out. They were all stunned by what he said. Kakashi arrived right after Qi Huo left. This time, he jumped in through the window with a solemn expression and was covered in blood. If they had not known about this beforehand, everyone in the office would have been shocked to see Kakashi in such a state.
"Where is Qi Huo?" Kakashi swept his gaze around, but he didn't see the red-haired brat.
The third generation Naruto pointed at the door that was still open." I just ran out!”
Hearing this, Kakashi turned around and was about to jump down from the window. He had already thought of what Qi Huo wanted to do. He had to stop him before he ran out of Muye!
Behind him came the anxious voice of the third generation Naruto," Kakashi! We must stop Little Qihuo!"
As expected of the third generation Naruto, he was an experienced person. He could roughly guess what had happened just from the expressions of these people. He picked up the bamboo hat beside him and stood up with a tense face. It seemed that he was going to the hospital.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
In a luxurious mansion, a tall and thin figure slammed the table and stood up. His expression was full of anger and shock, and there was an uncontrollable killing intent in his roar." What did you say? Zhishi is dead?"
This person was the famous Hai Luan Youdao of the Sea Nation. He knew that today was the day Hai Luan returned from his ancestral worship. He was originally waiting happily for his daughter's return, but he did not expect to receive bad news from the patrol guards! "What…what is going on? Tell me in detail!"
"Yes, sir!" The patrol guard nodded and then told him what he saw in detail," At noon today, when we were cruising at 60 nautical miles, we saw a returning ship from afar. Just as we were about to continue patrolling at the next coordinate point, a light blade that shot straight into the sky appeared on the ship. Then, the ship was cut in half and sank into the sea! Then, there seemed to be an unusually large-scale battle there. I don't know which side it was exactly, but from the shocking battle scene, my subordinate judged that it should have reached the level of a ninja!”
After hearing these words, the name of the island was silent for a moment. He frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked,"Where did that Leaf Ninja go? Did you see her?”
"No! However, when the battle was about to end, blue flames burned on the surface of the sea, covering a radius of about 100 meters!”
Blue flames! Undying Red Lotus Fire! Feng Hua Temple's Gong He! If that was the case…since the battle started after the ship sank, the enemy's target was the Kanye Ninja. It seemed that Zhishi was just an innocent victim! At the thought of this, Sea Ridge Island's face turned red with anger. He had not expected that this ninja, who was originally hired to protect his daughter, would actually cause his daughter's death! "Men, issue a letter of challenge! I want justice for Zhishi!”
As a gentle daimyo of a small country, the governance of the island was undoubtedly successful. He loved the people and the country, and implemented benevolent policies. From his father's point of view, because he was busy governing the country and guiding his eldest son, Hai Luanzhe, to prepare for the succession of the daimyo, he spent too much time on this side and rarely took care of Hai Luanzhe. From this aspect, he was a failed father. He had been apologizing to Hai Luan Zhishi. As an irresponsible father, he had long planned to spend more time with his daughter after this ancestral worship. Whether it was his son or daughter, they were all his flesh and blood. He loved them dearly. However, this happened! No matter how gentle a father was, he would become a tiger with fangs in the face of such a matter. This time, he would rather be an incompetent name to seek justice for his daughter! Even if they had to go against the Ninja Village, even if they had to go against the ninja army of the Fire Nation, even if the Sea Nation didn't have any ninja forces, they had to do it at all costs!
Confused with anger, Sea Crest Island had apparently forgotten that it was Zhishi who had insisted on having Feng Hua Temple escort her this time. Clearly, he had not noticed the key to this! This could be considered as a father's revenge for his daughter. Although it was completely wrong, it had a helpless sadness. Whose fault was it? Was it because of the misfortune of Zhishi being targeted by Ye Xing? Was it because the powerful Feng Hua Temple had become Ye Xing's stumbling block? Or was it because the Vermillion Bird Hall's Qi Flame was the key to summoning the Vermillion Bird to undo the seal? Or was it Ye Xing's wild ambition and ruthlessness?
Just like that, the letter of challenge was quickly sent to Muye. As expected, Muye exploded. While they were gathering military forces to prepare for the battle, they were confused and speculating. The key figure of this incident was still unconscious. In this hard-earned peace, the sudden occurrence of such a baffling war was obviously an incomparable blunder. However, the people on both sides were helpless. They all had their own reasons and helplessness. Once such a battle started, the other ninja villages would definitely take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of it. At that time, it would be out of control! This way, Ye Xing and the other three might be able to catch Qi Huo of the Vermillion Bird Hall and unlock the seal to achieve their goal!
Was a battle caused by a B-rank mission going to happen just like that?
