Chapter 1 Edge

"Three generations of adults." The ninja in charge of delivering the message trotted all the way into the Tsuchikage's office with a happy face, "Han-sama is back, with that group of surviving imps ......"

"There really are people who will come back alive." Onoki was full of surprise on his desk, and then his face was full of joy, "Loess, come here!" These documents are handed over to you. With that, Onoki directly broke the skylight and flew towards the outside of the village with the light rock technique.

……

"Name of the wounded." An old man with gray hair but strong energy asked his assistant while sorting out medical equipment.

"Upper Plains Earth and Stone." A young girl meticulously examined Uehara's belongings, "What is this?" Did he draw it? It's so beautiful......"

"Rakko!" The old man's tone was dissatisfied, "Now is the time for work, routine inspection!" ”

"Yes! There are multiple fractures all over the body, namely the neck, shoulder, ribs, arms, and wrists, some of which have healed naturally and have begun to grow deformities and need to be broken again......"

"Perforated eardrum, which has the potential to cause permanent hearing loss......"

"After the blood test, I have taken the Bing Food Pill for a long time, and my body is seriously overdrawn, and, mentor, he is still a child......" The little girl in charge of the examination saw Uehara's already somewhat atrophied limbs, and her voice trembled.

"Go on." Having seen too many worse situations, Tuba is much calmer than the immature disciple.

"There are too many wounds all over the body," another assistant helped his glasses, "The wounds caused by ordinary ninja tools, as well as the injuries caused by Fire Escape and Wind Escape Thunder Escape Ninjutsu, these are more troublesome......"

"Take away his kunai." Toba gathered the medical chakra in his palm, stabilizing the wounded's injuries first.

"Mentor, I can't do it......" tried hard to break Uehara's arm, but even though he was in a coma, Uehara's hand seemed to be mixed with kunai, and he couldn't break it no matter how he broke it.

"Riko, we're ninjas." Tuba shook his head, and as soon as the chakra of his palm touched Uehara's arm, the arm he was holding loosened entirely, pinching the somewhat bent kunai that had been pinched, and Tuba threw him away.

"Bang" punch, just after throwing Kunai turned his head, he was punched in the face, and his glasses were knocked off, "Hmm, are you awake?" ”

"It's not sober, is it the instinct of the body?" was punched, but Tuba didn't care, but stunned his two students.

He also used the medical chakra to temporarily dormant the nerves in the other arm of Uehara, and Tuba was finally relieved, "I have never encountered such a thing, and I can teach such a guy," Tuba looked bright, "Little ghost, who is your mentor?" ”

……

"Name." In a gloomy basement, a small candle was lit, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Upper Plains Earth and Stone." Uehara leaned against the armrest of Zuoyi, staring blankly at the ceiling that was low above his head as if he could reach out and touch, his tone was indifferent, he didn't bother to look at the other party.

"Identity."

"Shinobi in the Fourteenth Detachment, the first guardian ......of the hundred people of Iwa" Saying this, Uehara sat up straight, and there was finally an inexplicable color in his eyes.

There was a hazy shadow on the opposite side, and the face could not be seen clearly, but there were bursts of low laughter.

"Enough is enough." Uehara's tone was cold, "If you're laughing at our group of imps who didn't take it upon themselves to take such a name," Uehara disdainful, "It's okay to laugh." After all, in the earliest days, everyone was ashamed to call it this name......"

"But if it's to make fun of the name itself, I'll have to kill you!" With a thud, Uehara jumped up from his chair and squeaked the chair.

Uehara took two steps, only to find that he could no longer move, "This is a shackle?" How do you treat the heroes of the village? ”

"Looks like you're recovering well?" The other party was far away, but it seemed to ring in his ears, "Hero? Let's explain the Konoha ninja suit you have on you first, did you betray the village to survive? ”

"As soon as I woke up, you got here." Looking at the hospital gown on his body, and then looking at the oval roof above his head, it is no wonder that the other party's voice sounds as if it is in the ear, the two focal points of the oval......

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Four days and five hours."

"It's been long enough." Uehara felt no pain in his body, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion.

"Your question, why are we wearing Konoha ninja clothes......" Uehara's mood fluctuated greatly, and the shackles smashed against the iron chair and clanged, "Do you think we want to?" What about support? Where are the reinforcements from the village? We are ninjas, but in the end, we don't even have kunai, and some of our companions use earth escape ninjutsu to create kunai......"

"Damn, let go of Lao Tzu!" Uehara hated the chains that locked him, and he couldn't help but kick him hand in hand, "Earth Escape-Rock ......"

"Stop, little ghost." It seems that there are more than two people in this room, and other ninjas wearing masks have come over and unshackled Uehara. "Restricting your behavior is done by the people in the medical class. Back in the village, you're still on alert in a coma, and you've wounded several people while you're being treated. ”

His mouth opened and opened, but Uehara didn't say anything, "Thank you." ”

"Are you the Shadows?" After a quick glance, Uehara could already guess something. "We, the ones who fled back, are ...... How many people are there? ”

Uehara was eager to know what was going on with his companions, but he was also worried that the outcome would be unacceptable to him.

"Survivors," the ninja on the other side stopped talking, and the sound of rummaging through something rang out for a moment, "there are fourteen survivors, including you. ”

"Ten...... Fourteen," Uehara was incredulous for a while, "Fourteen, so few?" Who? Who survived?! ”

"Where's Zoyi Sycamore?!"

"Survived."

"Shelersha?!"

The person opposite the "......" was silent, "Uehara-kun, something ...... something"

"All you have to tell me!" Uehara almost yelled, he left his seat and wanted to rush over, but was pressed by the ninja behind him, "Shilesa, live--no?!" ”

"Shelersa, killed."

"Well, how sad the fat man should be......" Uehara realized that he had lost all his strength and collapsed in his chair, and he remembered the way Sheller was scared and cried by the shadows, as if this was not long in the past. Uehara's eyes were moist, and he muttered to himself as if no one was around, "Lao Tzu is the first guardian, and he will be the first to die, and I won't die, but you are ...... one by one."

"Uehara Tushi, continue to answer questions, are you listening?" Seeing that Uehara was stunned, the Shadow Ninja knocked on the table to wake him up.

"Get out of here!" Interrupted by his train of thought, Uehara roared angrily towards the shadows with tears stained, "Then answer your questions!" ”

The two shadow ninjas looked at each other. "I heard that this little ghost is a student of Tsuchiya-senpai," one of the ninjas whispered to his companion, "Now it seems that it really looks like it, it's easy to be impulsive......
