Aizen wanted to complete the intelligence gathering for this exploration mission, and the hospital in Caojin Village was a good place to collect information.
Based on the number of injured people, they could roughly estimate the number of people participating in the battle, estimate the combat strength of Cao Nin Village, and deduce how long the war would last.
It was already night time when he arrived at the Grass Country's hospital. While he was investigating, he found a red-haired female corpse with teeth marks all over her body in a ward.
After confirming that she was Xiang Lin's mother, who had been stranded in the Grass Country, the girl's cry for help came from the treatment room. Then, the hero appeared...
In the original novel, Xiang Lin was a sad character. After she and her mother were forced to live in the Grass Country, her mother relied on her special constitution of the Swirl Clan to heal the ninjas in the Grass Ninja Village in order to survive.
However, the people of Cao Ren Village only used her as a tool. After abusing her death, she forced Xiang Lin to take over her mother's job. From then on, besides eating and sleeping, Xiang Lin treated others in the hospital.
When she was 12 years old, she was sent to Kiba to take the Chuunin exam. After her other two teammates died because they were too weak, she returned to the village alone.
This deepened the village's distrust of her. They believed that she had died because she had not treated the two Choshins properly, so they sent her to the northern front line of the war against the Country of Long.
On the battlefield that was like a meat grinder, Xiang Lin faced countless injured people every day. No one expressed gratitude for her treatment. Everyone still treated her as a foreigner and used her as a treatment tool.
Until he was rescued (abducted) by Orochimaru (human trafficker), his fate did not change much. Not only was he used as a treatment tool, but he also became an experimental subject.
The Eagle Squad that joined Sasuke later did not escape the fate of being a tool and was abandoned during the battle.
During the fourth battle, he forgave him because of Sasuke's apology...
Because of the translation problem, Xianglin should be called "Hua Li". His only love.
Just like Karen herself, she had loved Sasuke for the rest of her life because of the smile that Chuunin left behind after saving her during the exam. Even if he was almost killed and abandoned, he still chose to forgive.

Lan Ran left the hospital with Xiang Lin in her arms. To be honest, Xiang Lin did not smell good.
Living in a dark and damp room for a long time, it was not convenient to wash up. In addition, his clothes were stained when he vomited in the hospital.
Lan Ran, who was a little obsessed with cleanliness, did not care. Instead, she hugged him even tighter.
It was snowing outside the hospital, and Xiang Lin was still wearing a single layer of clothing.
"Are you cold?" Lan Ran asked gently.」
Little Xianglin did not say anything. She just shook her head and kept looking at Lan Ran.
The Whirlpool race was born with an extremely strong perception of chakras. With the help of Nine-Tailed, the Whirlpool Mito could even sense the good and evil in a person's heart.
Although Xiang Lin did not possess the strength of a human pillar, as a pure-blooded member of the Whirlpool Race, she could sense the essence of the chakra.
In the original novel, her perception of Naruto Chakra was as warm as the sun, while her perception of Sasuke was cold and dark.
At this moment, perhaps because she was too young, she could not sense anything from Aizen's chakra.
It was like water or air.
However, he could clearly feel Aizen's warm embrace.
At Xiang Lin's house.
Aizen had just helped Lin bury her mother. She looked at Lin, who was grabbing onto the corner of her clothes and asked gently,[What do you plan to do in the future?]
Hearing this, Xiang Lin's body trembled. Tears instantly burst out of her eyes as she said nervously,[I can do anything and eat very little. Please don't leave me!]」
Lan Ran sighed. She squatted down and gently hugged the trembling and sobbing little girl in front of her. She kept caressing her back to calm her emotions.
She said softly,[Then you will follow me from now on…Leave this place and come with me to live in the Country of Fire's Muye Village…]

Muye, Naruto Building, Naruto Office.
Lan Zan, who had returned, was reporting the mission to the third-generation successor.
" The war between the Grass Country and the Dragon Country has indeed affected the borders of the Wood Leaf Country.
However, it didn't affect the situation. As the battle escalated, the battlefield had shifted to the northern border of the Grass Country.
According to the judgment of the strength of the two countries and the current number of casualties, if there are no other big countries forcefully interfering, it is estimated that the war will continue for another four to five years…"
The third-generation successor looked at Aizen's mission report with satisfaction. The contents were very detailed. Even the ninjas who grew up in the two countries might not know as much as Aizen.
[Thank you for your hard work! Let's rest for a few days."
[It's the third generation. There's one more thing...]
" Is it about the orphan of the Swirl Clan? Since you brought him back, you can decide.
Even if you want to send her to a ninja school, I can approve it.」
"Thank you so much, Third Generation!」
" I should be the one thanking her. Her existence is a form of insurance for Naruto.
Although I believe in Watergate's judgment, no one can guarantee that the Nine-tails Incident will not happen again…If it really comes to that, I hope you can understand.」
[Of course.]
…………
At this moment, in Aizen's house.
Their son had gone out of the village to carry out a mission and brought back a little girl, which surprised the Tanaka couple.
However, after learning about the little girl's background, the Tanaka couple decisively accepted this pitiful little girl.
[Little Xianglin must have suffered a lot since she was young! From now on, you can treat Auntie as your mother!」
Mrs. Tanaka hugged Little Xianglin and cried.
[Sob sob sob…Little Xianglin will live in our house from now on! You can treat me as your father!"
Mr. Tanaka also cried along without any backbone.
At this moment, Xiang Lin felt the warmth of home for the first time.
During dinner, the Tanaka couple burst into tears again when they saw Xianglin wolfing down even ordinary home-cooked food.
Of course, there was a spare room in Tanaka's house. Mrs. Tanaka had already tidied up the room for Little Karen during the day.
The last time Koizumi came to stay was completely Mrs. Tanaka's " conspiracy." She didn't know if it was because she didn't want to tidy up the room or because she wanted to see her son make a fool of himself.
Late at night, the door to Tanaka's room was gently pushed open. Little Xianglin, who was wearing pink pajamas, hugged a pillow and crawled into Aizen's bed.
That cute pink nightgown was obviously Mrs. Tanaka's taste.
[Can't sleep... Still scared?] "Don't worry…No one here will take you to the hospital…" Lan Ran reached out and rubbed Little Xianglin's head.
" Sorry to wake you up…Can I sleep with you tonight…"
Little Xianglin's face was a little red as she spoke timidly. Her tone was a little pleading.
Feeling the little girl's frozen body, Lan Ran had no choice but to hold her in his arms to keep her warm.
Xiang Lin felt that compared to her cold, damp, and shabby home, this place was heaven.
She subconsciously snuggled into Lan Ran's arms and greedily sniffed her scent.
Looking at Little Xianglin, who was still in his arms, Lan Ran patted her butt and said,"Sleep well, I still have to bring you to Ninja School tomorrow!」
Little Xianglin instantly quieted down, and her body temperature visibly rose…
