Two days later in the morning
Kakashi, who was lying on the hospital bed, let out a few lazy murmurs before slowly opening his eyes." Where is this?”Kakashi asked in confusion. Clearly, he had yet to regain consciousness. Looking at the white fan on the ceiling that was slowly rotating in the breeze, and the curtains that had been opened on the window that were gently fluttering in the breeze, the morning sunlight that was unique to the ward was gently scattered through the window. The two bonsai plants on the windowsill were budding red flowers, and the dew on the green leaves had not yet evaporated. Under the reflection of the sunlight, they appeared to be specks of colorful light. Kakashi felt that everything was exuding a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
"Ah! Teacher Kakashi, you're awake?" At this moment, Sakura, who was about to enter the room, saw Kakashi's opened eyes and said in surprise," Then, Naruto's voice came from outside." What? Is Teacher Kakashi awake?" Then, the sound of running came from afar.
" Ah, Kakashi-sensei, you're finally awake!" At this time, Naruto ran in and saw that Kakashi-sensei had woken up. He cried out happily. At this moment, Sasuke came in with a cool look on his face.
"Oh, you're all here. Looking at the environment, this should be a hospital, right? Who found me?" At this moment, Kakashi, who had already woken up, saw that the three students were fine and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he asked the three of them,
" Kakashi-sensei, I was the one who brought you back. When I found you, you were already unconscious on the ground," Naruto said proudly when he heard Kakashi-sensei's question.
"Did you see anyone else when you came looking for me?”Upon hearing that he was found by Naruto, Kakashi asked Naruto,"
"Someone else? Who was it? Teacher Kakashi, your friend? I didn't see it." Naruto denied,"
" Oh, is that so?" Kakashi muttered. Seeing Naruto scratching the back of his head like a fool, no one would think that he would lie. In the end, Kakashi, who had no clue, could only leave this matter unsettled.
Another two days later, Kakashi's injuries had basically healed. In the past week or so, Kakashi had gone from the brink of death to being alive and kicking. His recovery rate had shocked the doctors in the hospital so much that they could not close their mouths.
"Tonight, we will continue to investigate the mountain bandits in Nairo Mountain Village. If possible, we will eliminate them all!”At the dining table, Kakashi said leisurely to the three little ones who were eating with their heads lowered. When it came to killing, his tone did not change at all.
"En, got it!" After hearing Kakashi's words, everyone expressed that they understood. After the attack a few days ago, everyone believed that the mountain bandits in Nairo Mountain Village knew that they were going to deal with him. Even Kakashi almost lost his life. Therefore, this seemingly ordinary mission to eliminate the mountain bandits was definitely not just for the netbsps. Although it was the best choice to go back to the village and gather people to eliminate the bandits, Naruto and Sasuke, who had been provoked, insisted that the mission that their team had accepted must be completed by themselves. Sakura only hesitated for a moment and agreed with this view.
Kakashi looked at his three students with a headache, but he had to admit that they had made the right choice. They had been discovered as soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, which meant that they definitely had a very comprehensive intelligence network. If he returned to Muye to gather more people, he would definitely give them enough time to escape, or give them time to spread a huge net. At that time, it was very likely that they would deal a huge blow to his group. Moreover, because of Sasaki's appearance, It could also be seen that this seemingly ordinary stronghold was definitely not ordinary. The quest itself was intriguing. The current situation was that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light. Therefore, Kakashi's team had to be extremely cautious. Since the enemy already knew about their existence, they would definitely be fully prepared for their actions. So the situation was not looking good. How many years had it been since they had encountered such a difficult mission? Kakashi thought to himself.
In the middle of the night, four figures flashed across the dark mountain path of Mount Nailuo, heading straight for the village at the top of the mountain. It was the seventh group of the Ninja Village newcomers.
The Nairo Mountain Bandits 'stronghold was slowly coming into view. Naruto and the other three became more and more cautious. At this moment, a few sounds of pursuit came from a small forest not far ahead. The four of them looked at each other." Let's go and take a look, but pay attention to stealth!"”Kakashi whispered to the three of them. Then, the three of them nodded and sneaked toward the source of the sound like leopards in the night.
"You scum will get your retribution sooner or later!”When the four of them sneaked in, they saw three strong men holding steel knives surrounding a teenager who was about ten years old on the ground. It seemed that the teenager had suffered a lot. There were already several wounds on his body on the ground, but he still stubbornly scolded the three strong men.
"Humph! We mountain bandits are supposed to rob and rob for a living. Otherwise, how can we be called mountain bandits? If this was karma, we wouldn't be standing here right now!”At this moment, one of the brawny men said to the young man matter-of-factly,
"Sanzi, why are you talking so much to him? Just finish him off with one slash.”At this moment, another burly man with a scar on his face said to the person in front of him. The scar stretched from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth, adding a bit of a valiant aura. One look and one could tell that he was a person who killed without frowning. After saying this, he raised his steel knife without hesitation and slashed at the young man's desperate eyes.
But "Dang!!!" The sound of the sword being struck rang out in everyone's ears, and the steel blade that was originally aimed at the young man was knocked away by a shuriken.
"Who is it?" The steel knife in his hand was about to slash at the young man, but halfway through, he felt a huge force that knocked the steel knife in his hand away. The burly man was shocked. What great strength. At the same time, the other two burly men also gripped their steel sabers tightly and looked around vigilantly.
"Like I said, the main character usually only appears at the most critical moment!”At this time, Naruto's annoying voice that thought he was the main character appeared (although he was really the main character). At the same time, four people walked out from the dense forest.
"You are…A ninja from the Woodleaf Village? Why are you here?”Seeing the four of them, San Zi who was protecting his forehead couldn't help but cry out in surprise. At the same time, he asked the four of them warily.
"Are you the bandits of Mount Nailuo?”At this moment, Kakashi asked,
"Yes, why are you here on Mount Nailuo? Don't ninjas never leave the village without a mission?”At this moment, the burly man whose sword was knocked away by Naruto also replied with a vigilant expression,
" Then there's nothing we can do," Kakashi said helplessly after hearing the other party admit it." Because of the mission, I can only invite you to hell.”His tone was still so helpless. Even when he talked about killing people, there was no hint of fierceness. It was as if he was helplessly complaining about why he was eating eggplant today. He originally wanted to eat potatoes. After saying that, he charged at the three bandits and slashed his shuriken across their necks. The three bodies fell down almost at the same time. Instant kill!
"Is this the power of a ninja? So powerful!" Seeing the three bandits who had been so fierce moments ago being taken care of by Kakashi in an instant without being able to fight back, the youth looked at Kakashi with a fanatical expression as he thought to himself.
"Where did you come from? Why are those bastards on Mount Nairo chasing after you?”At this moment, Sakura walked up to him and ignored his fervent gaze on Kakashi. She pulled the young man up from the ground and helped him dust off his body. She asked," She looked like she was taking care of her little brother.
"The bandits of Nairo Mountain Village are not bastards! What do you understand?" However, under Xiao Ying's gentle care, the young man did not feel the slightest bit of gratitude. Instead, he retorted to Xiao Ying. It seemed like he was unhappy because Xiao Ying had scolded those bandits.
Hearing the young man's words, the four of them looked at him in surprise. Why was he still speaking up for them when he was being chased by the bandits on Mount Nailuo?
