Chương 124: Empty Ninja

Yukihime is very strong, extremely strong, a fact universally acknowledged in the village.

The fact that the enemy could strike Yukihime so badly that she fell unconscious suggests that the enemy must be incredibly powerful.

When Yura arrived, all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were present, except for Misao Benishiki.

In the hospital, Jieluo looked at the attending medical ninja, who was covered in cold sweat, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

If Yukihime dies, it will be difficult to find a replacement from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. We will have to train one ourselves in the village, which will take much longer.

Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, the attending physician said, "The injury has stabilized; it's mainly exhaustion, but there's nothing serious."

He had already treated similar injuries on Huan Yue before.

"Lord Hozuki is receiving treatment inside," the attending physician added.

Hozuki is ruthless to outsiders, but he's incredibly kind to his own people. As for whether he has ulterior motives, Yura can't say for sure.

They glanced at Mito, who was guarding the passageway, and then entered the ward.

In the spacious, luxurious single hospital room, Cai Zang leaned against the windowsill, seemingly admiring the scenery.

Huan Yue, sweating profusely, held Xue Ji's hand as she underwent a tense treatment.

Seeing this, Mito looked at it strangely. She knew of one similar case: Hashirama and Madara.

Jieluo looked at Huanyue, then at Xueji, who was bare-chested and bare-armed.

Mashiro and Shinpei had many injuries caused by lightning release techniques. The bandages that had been applied to their bodies were torn apart by Gengetsu. At this moment, Gengetsu's arms turned into water and touched Yukihime's body, accelerating the healing of her wounds.

The Water Transformation Secret Technique's Water Transformation Healing Technique is similar in function to the Palm Immortal Technique, but it heals wounds even faster.

Because of the pain, Yukihime frowned from time to time while unconscious.

Jieluo stepped forward and said, "If you dare to take off my clothes while I'm unconscious, I'll kill you, you know that?"

Huan Yue's body stiffened abruptly, and she snapped, "What do you think I am?! We're all men! What's the problem?!"

"Look at her face and say it again," Jie Luo said with a mocking smile.

"Isn't that perverted enough?"

"Stop joking!" Taking a deep breath, Huan Yue said, "Little dwarf, don't you want her to wake up soon and find out what's going on?"

The guards had already questioned them, but they didn't know the specifics. It was a sudden encounter, and Yuki immediately engaged the enemy. They couldn't get close to the battlefield. The only thing they knew was that the enemy was a female ninja.

"That makes sense, but don't do it again next time," Jieluo said.

"The attending physician has already treated me and said there's nothing seriously wrong with me."

Huan Yue stiffened and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Tch~" Leaning against the windowsill, one can hide the merciless mockery.

"What are you laughing at!?" Huan Yue turned her head and glared at Cai Cang.

"How clumsy, Gengetsu," Saizo said.

"Hurry up, I'm getting impatient."

A powerful enemy has appeared in the Land of Water, beyond our intelligence. This is a major dereliction of duty for the First Division, and he must understand the situation and take appropriate action.

He pulled up a chair, and Jieluo sat down beside him, asking, "Squinty-eyed, who do you think it could be?"

"She shouldn't be a ninja from the Land of Water," Saizo said.

"If I'm not mistaken, Oni-hime should be related to the Sky Ninjas from the sea."

"Kujin?" Jieluo looked at Caizang and said, "What do you mean?"

"That group of people has been roaming the seas for a long time, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, making it difficult to obtain specific information," Saizo said.

"Their leader was also a pirate in the past, and had several conflicts with Lord Byakuren. While Lord Byakuren was busy building Kirigakure, he was also building Sora Ninja Village. Now that his power has taken shape, it is possible that he will come to seek revenge."

Is it just passive...?

Although it is a small village, it has the audacity to challenge the status of the five great villages. During the Second Shinobi World War, it was defeated by Konoha for launching a sneak attack and went underground. It owns an ancient ruin, a huge aerial fortress, Angkor Fortress.

It is unable to take off due to the lack of a vital energy system.

It will create the Zero-Tails in the future to serve as the power core of the flying fortress, and it will have a chakra cannon with power comparable to the Tailed Beast Ball, which is enough to destroy a mountain range with a single blow.

"Do you have any information about their whereabouts?" Jieluo asked.

"The ocean is vast, and besides the Ninja World continent, there are other expansive continents beyond it," Saizo said.

"With the First Division's capabilities, it would be difficult to collect them all."

Then we can only wait for them to emerge during World War II.

"Perhaps you're mistaken," Jieluo said.

"How so?" Cai Zang asked.

The Sky Ninja are indeed known for their Lightning Release techniques, possessing unique Lightning Release formulas that unleash shockwaves from the sky. However, the current Sky Ninja are probably still digesting the technology from Angkor Fortress. It is not until World War II that they will have a mature, large-scale, and modern ninja force.

At present, they only have a few large ships as their base.

"Don't they have any supply depots?" Jie Luo asked.

"Investigating from here should yield clues quickly."

Cai Zang shook his head and said, "Those cunning fellows rarely come ashore; they live on the sea by robbing merchant ships."

Therefore, the prospects for Kirigakure's protection mission are good, and the conflict between Kirigakure and the Sky Ninja has never stopped.

The production of the zero tail is something Jieluo is determined to achieve, and the matching Angkor fortress is also something Jieluo wants.

As for the air fleet, what Jieluo wanted was to send the entire Asagiri Island, along with the other islands, into the sky.

Perhaps the noise disturbed Yuki, for under Huan Yue's healing, Yuki slowly awoke, followed by a sharp slap across the face.

Jieluo's lips curled slightly. Mito turned around, her shoulders shrugged, and Cai Cang paused for a moment before a mocking smile appeared on her face. Yukihime looked terrified, her arms crossed over her chest, her face flushed. Only Huan Yue was left completely bewildered, her face bearing five finger marks as she stared blankly at Yukihime.

She's beautiful...

No!

Huan Yue's face darkened, and she said, "I saved you!"

"You!!!" Yukihime gasped for breath, her delicate body trembling.

Jieluo spoke up, interrupting Lezi, and said, "Xueji, now that you're awake, tell me what happened."

Yukihime looked at the room full of people, crossed her arms, and asked, "Where are my clothes?"

Jieluo pointed and said, "He took it off, ask him."

"You—!!!" Xue Ji stared at Huan Yue with icy eyes and said, "Give me back my clothes!"

Huan Yue gave Jie Luo a deep look, unable to tell whether she was helping me or messing with me. She bent down, picked up Xue Ji's clothes, and tossed them to Xue Ji.

Yuki crawled back into bed, and after getting dressed with a rustling sound, she took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "What do you want to ask?"

""

"Is that guy very strong?" Huan Yue asked the question that worried her the most.

"Can't you tell!" Yukihime said coldly, "Of course she's very strong!"
