"Everyone on high alert. Yamato, you and Hoshizaki wait here. Shisui and I will go check the situation," Kushina Uzumaki said gravely.
No one objected, and the two quickly left.
"Starry Sky, do you think we might encounter an enemy attack?" Yamato asked, looking somewhat nervous.
"Probably not. This is still the inland part of the Land of Fire. If enemies have infiltrated here, it means our front line is probably in danger..." Yao Xingji said hesitantly.
"The message from some friends in the Dark Side says that the situation at the front is not optimistic, and the Land of Fire is facing great pressure," Yamato said.
During the Third Shinobi World War, the Land of Fire faced a difficult situation, caught in a pincer attack from the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. The Land of Fire is the strongest among the five great nations, so if others want to attack, they will definitely join forces.
This is different from when the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was alive. Back then, the Land of Fire was incredibly powerful, overwhelming all other nations. Even if the entire ninja world joined forces to attack Konoha, they wouldn't be able to defeat it. That's why there was peace back then.
After the death of the first generation, the strength of the Land of Fire changed from overwhelming to relatively strong. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to expect the opponent not to join forces.
"Don't worry, the Land of Fire will definitely win in the end," Yao Xingji said.
The result of the third war was that the Land of Fire could not be considered a defeat, but it was not a complete victory either. Of course, none of this had much to do with Yao Xingji, since he was not going to work for the third generation of the old man anyway.
"I hope so," Yamato said worriedly.
About ten minutes later, Uchiha Shisui returned alone.
"What happened?" Yamato and Yakusei immediately went to meet them.
“There’s a village over there that’s been attacked. There are still people alive, but the situation is very bad. Kushina-sensei asked me to take you there to see if we can save one or two people. That way, we can at least get some information from them,” Uchiha Shisui said immediately.
“Okay, I’ll go take a look!” Yao Xingji nodded.
After leaving Yamato to guard the village, Uchiha Shisui and Yakusei immediately rushed to the village where the incident occurred.
This is an ordinary village. From a distance, there are about twenty or thirty low-rise houses. Even before you get close, the strong smell of blood hits you, as if you have plunged into a slaughterhouse.
“The scene is a bit bloody, you…” Uchiha Shisui reminded Yao Xingji.
Even though he was prepared, Yao Xingji's face turned pale when he saw the village's tragic state.
Dried, dark red bloodstains, scattered mangled limbs, and rotting entrails exposed to the air...
These things are not unfamiliar to medical students, but seeing them in the laboratory and seeing them outside are two completely different things.
"Starry Night, over here."
Kushina Uzumaki stood on a half-collapsed brick wall and waved, her fiery red hair flying in the sunlight.
The two rushed over.
"Do you think this child can be saved?" Kushina Uzumaki pointed to a little girl lying on the ground with a complicated expression.
This is a child of about three years old. He has a long wound on his abdomen, and his intestines are clearly visible. There is blood all over the ground.
If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of her chest, everyone would probably think she was already dead.
"The Eye of Salvation!"
Yao Xingji immediately activated his Eye of Salvation to examine the little girl's injuries.
Amidst the light and shadow, the green light on the little girl's body was very thin and could dissipate at any moment. A long red shadow stretched across her abdomen, revealing an external injury.
Immediately, the power of the Eye of Salvation penetrated the wound and looked into the little girl's body, searching for any possible internal injuries.
After a while, Yao Xingji breathed a slight sigh of relief. Apart from the wound on his abdomen, there were no other internal injuries, and he could be saved.
"Calming Immortal Technique!"
Yao Xingji wasted no more time and immediately began refining chakra to begin treatment.
------------
Chapter 145 The Strange Little Girl
A pale green light emanated from Yao Xingji's hands, covering the wound on the little girl's abdomen. The blood that had been flowing quickly stopped, and the wound began to heal gradually.
After more than a year of training, Yao Xingji has mastered the Palm Immortal Technique to perfection, and the therapeutic effect has been greatly improved.
For injuries like this, Yao Xingji doesn't need to use the Savior's Eye, which consumes a lot of chakra. He can achieve good results by using the Palm Healing Technique while the Savior's Eye is activated.
"The wound can only heal to this extent for now; some medication will be needed later," Yao Xingji said, standing up.
Kushina Uzumaki frowned slightly and asked, "How much longer until she wakes up?"
"I don't know." Yao Xingji shook his head; he couldn't give a definite answer.
"Let's go back first." Kushina Uzumaki pondered for a moment, then picked up the little girl and left the village.
During the time that Yao Xingji was treating, Kushina Uzumaki had searched the surrounding area again and found no other living people.
"Can you confirm who did it?" Yao Xing asked in a very low voice.
Such cruel methods, even targeting children, are truly infuriating.
"Judging from the marks, they seem to have been left by ninjas from the Land of Earth, but we can't be completely sure," said Uchiha Shisui.
There are countless instances of framing and false accusations in the ninja world; it's possible that ninjas from other countries are in disguise.
Soon, Yao Xingji and his group returned to the convoy escorting military supplies.
“We need to be more careful from now on. If it really was done by people from the Land of Earth, then it proves that they have already infiltrated the Land of Fire, and we could be attacked at any time.” Kushina Uzumaki’s expression became much more serious.
"More importantly, the ninjas of the Land of Earth can use Earth Release ninjutsu to move underground. I suspect that there may be an infiltration unit from the Land of Earth operating in this area."
Uchiha Shisui and Yamato both looked rather grim. What was originally a simple task of escorting grain had suddenly become fraught with danger.
The two of them glanced at Yao Xingji simultaneously.
These are the objects they need to protect and monitor during this mission.
At this moment, Yao Xingji seemed unaware of the two people's gazes; his attention was entirely focused on the little girl he had just rescued.
He hadn't paid attention to the healing reward from the Heart of the Universe because time was of the essence; after all, the chakra given for healing ordinary people was negligible.
But when Yao Xingji checked the records, he discovered that the little girl was not an ordinary person; she was a ninja!
This is the evaluation given by the Heart of the Universe, so it cannot be wrong.
But that village was clearly an ordinary village, so how could a ninja suddenly appear, especially one that was only three years old?
Huh? Three years old? That sounds so familiar...
It seems that Yao Xingji was three years old when he transmigrated, and he was also a ninja.
But this is too much of a coincidence.
Yao Xingji was well aware of his own situation. He had a complicated background, being a spy from the Land of Water with a highly suspicious origin. Coupled with his identity as a transmigrator, this led to him becoming a three-year-old medical ninja.
But this little girl...
"Is something wrong with her?" Yamato asked, seeing that Yakushiki was staring at the little girl.
"Nothing, I was just wondering who would do something as harming even a child like this," Yao Xingji said calmly.
“Such things happen frequently in the ninja world,” Kushina Uzumaki said with a sorrowful expression.
The village she had visited reminded her of her own experiences.
Wasn't the Land of Whirlpools once destroyed overnight?
"keep going!"
After a short rest, the convoy set off again, but this time, they slowed down considerably.
In the evening, the convoy stopped at the foot of a mountain.
"After crossing this canyon, we'll reach our destination in about a hundred miles. I hope we can complete the mission safely tomorrow," said Kushina Uzumaki.
At their original speed, they could have crossed the canyon today, but the discovery of the massacre has significantly slowed them down.
It was already late, and it would be unwise to continue venturing into the dangerous canyon, so Kushina Uzumaki decided to spend the night at the foot of the mountain and continue the journey the next day.
Yao Xingji and the others had no objection to this decision.
Just as everyone had set up their tents and were preparing to rest, the little girl who had been unconscious finally woke up.
"Don't be afraid, we are ninjas from Konoha Village, we won't hurt you."
Seeing the girl curled up in the corner despite her abdominal wound, Kushina Uzumaki tried her best to comfort her.
"They're dead...they're all dead...they're all dead..."
The little girl's eyes were filled with fear, and her whole body was trembling violently.
"The Eye of Salvation".
Yao Xingji activated his pupil technique to check on the little girl's condition.
"No, don't come any closer, ahh..."
As soon as Kushina Uzumaki got a little closer, the little girl began to scream in terror.
How is she?
Unable to get closer, Kushina Uzumaki looked at Hoshino Yakushiki.
"The wound on my abdomen has reopened a bit, but otherwise there shouldn't be any problems." As soon as Yao Xingji finished speaking, he immediately used his pupil technique.
hum!
A ring of dark red light spread out and gathered on the little girl's abdomen, healing the newly torn wound.
Seemingly sensing that the abdominal pain had lessened, the little girl calmed down considerably. Although she still looked at everyone with great vigilance, her fear had diminished considerably.
"We are ninjas from Konoha. What's your name?" Kushina Uzumaki asked cautiously.
"My name is Midori."
"Hello Midori, can you tell us what happened before?" Kushina Uzumaki asked.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Midori's face changed immediately. Her pupils seemed to lose focus, and her body trembled violently.
"They're dead, all dead! They burst out from underground and slaughtered everyone... They're demons!!!"
Kushina Uzumaki's expression hardened.
"Looks like they really are from the Land of Earth, damn it!" Yamato cursed under his breath.
