Chapter 38

When Neji woke up, he was already in a clean room.

He opened his eyes, sat up, hissed slightly.

The muscles all over the body are a bit sore. This is the sequelae of opening the Eight Gate several times in a few days.

Even if his physical fitness is already very good, he is still a little overwhelmed.

But fortunately, his arms, waist, abdomen, and thighs are all wrapped with bandages at the moment. Someone should have bandaged him after he was unconscious.

Thinking of the last memory before losing consciousness, the door suddenly opened.

Squeaky

“Are you awake?”

The young boy Ishikawa came in with the probe, his left arm was hung with a bandage and a brace, and it seemed that he was broken.

“I heard that you are really good.” Ishikawa walked over and gave him a thumbs-up with his right hand. “One person killed so many enemies and saved so many of us… You guy, definitely not just Genin, right? To be honest, if you weren’t from Konoha, I would definitely worship you as the eldest brother!”

“…What happened to your left hand?”

“Oh, it’s okay.” Ishikawa didn’t care. “I was smashed by a guy with Earth Style. A bone was broken. It’s okay!”

Neji felt that Ishikawa was not very old, but he was very strong, and said, “Congratulations, I have captured another town.”

Speaking of this, Ishikawa was a little excited and made a one-handed gesture: “You didn’t see it! Angel Lord defeated thirty or forty defensive ninjas alone. Those bastards can’t even touch the clothes of Angel Lord Kakuzu!”

“You angels are indeed very powerful.”

“That needs to be said.” Ishikawa said, and suddenly heard footsteps. Turning his head to see, it was really said that the angel Konan had arrived.

Looking at Konan who walked into the room, Ishikawa sat up suddenly and greeted him very cautiously: “Lord Angel.”

“Well, your arm has just been fixed, don’t walk around.”

“Hey, hey, it’s okay, it’s okay!”

Konan nodded slightly and walked to the bed to look at Neji: “How are you?”

“never mind.”

“Everyone is grateful for what you did.”

“It’s nothing.”

“There will be no war for the time being.” Konan said, “If you want, I can arrange for someone to escort you back to the country of fire.”

“…”

This treatment is really good.

Neji thought for a while, “I guess the person who will pick me up should come soon, so I won’t bother you.”

Konan fell silent, looked at his body almost covered with bandages, and asked, “Why did you do this?”

Not only she is curious, Ishikawa is also curious, and so are those who have been rescued.

In their opinion, Neji is a Konoha Shinobi who is desperate for them, it makes no sense.

In that situation, Neji could find a chance to escape by himself. With the strength he showed, he suddenly fled while the enemy was not paying attention, and it was impossible to catch up with him at the speed of those Rain Shinobi.

But what he chose was to stay and fight, one person against a dozen people.

“In fact, there is no reason. I just can’t see the killing of civilians.”

“…”

“War is one thing, but it is another thing for ninjas to slaughter unresistible civilians.” Neji said, “Whoever does this is my enemy. And I believe that the one who does this will only It will fail. I hope you won’t do this.”

“What are you talking about! Lord Angel has never slaughtered civilians!” Ishikawa was a little angry.

Konan didn’t say anything, just sighed softly.

Ishikawa was stunned, as if he had never seen Lord Angel sigh.

“Unfortunately not everyone thinks like you.” She said.

Neji watched her with a slightly sad expression, and was speechless for a while.

“I owe you a favor this time.” Before leaving the house, she didn’t Kaidō, “I will return it to you in the future.”

“…”

After Konan left, Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she admired Lord Angel very much, when Lord Angel was there, she would make him a little cautious, for fear of making her angry and uncomfortable.

As soon as she left, Ishikawa became more active again. He looked at Neji very enviously, and said in a sour tone: “It’s good for you, Lord Angel said that he owes you favors.”

“…”

This should be considered a good thing, but Neji really couldn’t think of what he could do with this favor.

Could it be in the future…

Forget it, it’s useless to think more.

A few days later.

Guy and others have brought the goods to the previously agreed border location.

The road was not stable, and the 18-car medicine still attracted many desperadoes, but it was a pity that they were all met by Guy and Kakashi’s mixed doubles.

Soon, Akatsuki, who received the news, also asked Neji to come with him.

When they met, they saw the bandage on Neji’s body, and the members of the third class suddenly burst into flames.

“These bastards!” Tenten rushed up and pulled Neji, looking left and right, his face was terribly ugly, scared and angry.

“Neji, did they torture you?!”

“No……”

“Not yet! Look at how you hurt so much!”



Guys came over immediately. Xiao Li glared at the people who sent Neji. Among them, Uncle Itan was the leader, and he waved his hands quickly: “Torture? How come, Neji is our savior, good friend. If it wasn’t for him, he would go back. , We still want to keep him for a few more days.”

“…”

As soon as Konoha’s words came out, everyone who came to Konoha felt that there was something wrong with their ears.

Hospitality? The country of rain entertains the people of the country of fire? Did you make a mistake?

“Neji, the patriarch asked me to pick you up.”

Jōnin of the Hyuga clan started Byakugan while talking.

He observed the situation inside Neji’s body and found that the meridians were not damaged. He had only suffered some skin injuries. He probably hadn’t been tortured before, but suffered some injuries during the battle.

If it was torture, the injury would not be so light.

Explaining the situation, Guy also breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Neji an encouraging look, and then handed over with Itanium.

“Eighteen trucks of medicines, a lot of them, you can accept them.”

“No, we trust Neji’s partner.”

“…”

What did Neji do?

Several people have this question in their hearts, why would people in the Kingdom of Rain treat him with this attitude?

Kakashi, who was on the side, took this opportunity to observe Itanium and others.

He could see that these people were well-trained ninjas, very orthodox, not like some rebellious ninjas who had become a monk. Moreover, being able to appear and transport such a large amount of goods so unscrupulously at the border… only proves that their organization has completely controlled the border area and even the hinterland of the Rainy Country.

In this way, this organization may have replaced Rain Shinobi and become the new military force of the Rain Country…

Um?

Kakashi suddenly noticed that Itan was looking at him, with a hint of alertness in his eyes.

“If you wear a mask, it’s best not to look at us like that.”

Oh, what a keen perception.

Kakashi squinted his eyes and raised his hand apologetically in a non-standard salute.

Itanium retracted his gaze and waved to Neji: “Next time we have the opportunity to come to the Land of Rain, we will definitely treat you well, Neji. Good luck!”

“That.” Kakashi said suddenly, “Apart from Neji, there is a businessman who was detained.”

Itan frowned and said, “Businessman? Isn’t that guy taken away.”

Kakashi looked at Guy, the latter’s expression unchanged.

“Oh, sorry.” Kakashi smiled, “We made a mistake, I’m sorry.”
