In the River Kingdom, inside a cave, the bonfire flickered and the light swayed with it.
Pakura, who was lying down, had his eyelids trembling, and then slowly opened his eyes.
His vision was blurry at first, and Pakura's thinking was also a little slow: "Is this... Is this the Pure Land?"
After his vision gradually became clear, Pakura subconsciously pursued the light, slowly turned his head, and saw the campfire and a figure sitting in front of the campfire.
"Who is he? Why does he look familiar..."
"Is it the dead companion?"
"companion..."
Pakura's memories emerged, and he remembered being backstabbed by the Mist Ninja, and he was suddenly heartbroken.
Her former companion actually betrayed her!Those guys actually gave her to the Mist Ninja as a bargaining chip!
Pakura was not stupid and figured it out quickly.
"You're awake."
Suddenly, Pakura heard a gentle voice and was startled: "You... who are you?"
"Are we in the Pure Land?"
Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Pure Land?"
"I'm not going to a place like that with you."
Turning to look at Pakura, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Pakura, long time no see!"
Pakura's eyes suddenly widened: "You... Hoshita Shuichi!"
She was a little excited, her body moved, and the pain immediately swept through her brain.
With sweat on his forehead, Pakura looked atHoshita Shuichi and said, "You saved me?"
Hoshita Shuichi stood up and poured a cup of salt and sugar water and handed it to Pakura's mouth: "What else?"
"Do you think this is a dream?"
"Drink it, you need to hydrate."
Pakura looked down at the cup made of bamboo tube.
Hoshita Shuichi said: "Don't worry, I haven't used it before, I just made it temporarily."
"You are lucky to have met a medical expert like me, otherwise you would be dead."
Pakura opened his mouth and drank all the water, then looked at Hoshita Shuichi: "Why did you save me?"
Hoshita Shuichi put down the cup and sat in front of the campfire again: "There are many reasons!"
"First, you are the messenger sent by the Sand Village to the Kirigakure Village."
"Even though he was betrayed, saving him might help destroy the alliance between Sand Village and Mist Village."
"Even if we can't destroy it, we can delay it for a while."
"Second, you hold a lot of secrets in your head, especially the next move of the Sand Village."
Pakura showed a mocking smile: "As expected..."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and asked back: "Why, do you think I would do it because I feel sorry for you?"
"Or is it because of your beauty? I'm not that superficial."
Pakura turned his head and looked at the jumping shadow on the top of the cave with empty eyes: "What do you want to know?"
"I've already been betrayed by them anyway, ridiculous hero..."
After hearing this, Hoshita Shuichi asked: "After the alliance between Sand Village and Mist Village, is the next step to attack the Land of Fire?"
Pakura said woodenly: "Indeed."
"However, to be specific, we should first join forces to conquer the River Country, give the portion that originally belonged to Konoha to the Hidden Mist Village, and then attack the Fire Country together."
"But I don't know the specific plan."
"I've finished, you can kill me now..."
Hoshita Shuichi heard it and shook his head: "What a coward!"
Pakura said calmly: "You want to use hatred to use me?"
"Although I am angry, I also hate the village leaders, those who betrayed me, and the Hidden Mist Village."
Hoshita Shuichi stood up and sat down next to Pakura, reaching out and pinching her chin.
Eye to eye!
Looking at Hoshita Shuichi's sharp, domineering and aggressive eyes, Pakura suddenly retreated a little, but because his chin was controlled, he couldn't get away at all.
Hoshita Shuichi stared at Pakura and said in a low and domineering voice: "Pakura, I saved your life."
"So, from now on, you are mine, my property!"
"You must not die without my permission."
After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi let go of Pakura.
Pakura snorted and turned his head away.
Hoshita Shuichi's voice softened a bit, and he said, "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't sympathize with my subordinates."
"Don't worry. I won't let you kill ordinary people in the Sand Village. But as for the high-ranking officials in the Sand Village and people from other ninja villages, you must obey my orders."
After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi went to undress Pakura.
Pakura was startled and moved his body despite the severe pain: "What... do you want to do?"
"I'm a medical ninja."
Hoshita Shuichi emphasized, "Besides, I'm not even 12 years old!"
After hearing this, Pakura's cold face suddenly turned red and he stopped dodging.
While busying himself,Hoshita Shuichi said, "Besides, you had too many wounds before. I have seen them a long time ago."
Pakura gritted his teeth when he heard this: "Asshole, brat..."
Hoshita Shuichi had sharp ears and heard it, so he laughed and said, "You should call me Shuichi-sama!"
Pakura gritted his teeth and said nothing.
As Hoshita Shuichi treated her wounds, he said, "Why, Pakura, the Scorch Release of Sand Village, a dignified jonin, doesn't recognize the grace of saving your life at all?"
"Or do you think I'm unqualified to be your superior?"
"You should know that I'm stronger than you, right?"
Damn little devil!
Pakura reluctantly said: "Shu...Shu-ichi-sama!"
She felt inexplicably ashamed, especially since this guy had undressed her.
Hoshita Shuichi heard Pakura's reluctant voice, but felt very happy.
This feeling... is indescribable!
Is it because of that reluctance?
It seems to be getting more and more abnormalHoshita Shuichi quickly gave up the idea of running around and focused on treating Pakura's injuries.
After a while,Hoshita Shuichi finished the treatment, took off his outer robe and covered Pakura with it, and said: "It should be healed in two or three days."
Don't leave here during this time. My shadow clone will prepare food and drink for you.
Pakura was surprised when he heard this: "Akatsuki...you want to leave?"
"Remember, call me Shuichi-sama!"
Hoshita Shuichi emphasized this, and then said, "I want to go back to Konoha."
"Although the offensive of Sand Village and Mist Village may be slowed down because of my presence, it is also possible that it will be advanced."
After a moment of silence, as he watched Hoshita Shuichi about to walk out of the cave, Pakura spoke up: "I understand, Shuichi-sama!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and looked back after hearing this: "Very good, keep it up!"
After leaving the cave, Hoshita Shuichi created a shadow clone and left behind before returning to Konoha.
In the Sand Village, in the Kazekage's office, Rasa was shocked when he learned that Pakura's body was taken away by a mysterious strong man, and hurriedly asked his subordinates: "What did the Mist Ninja say?"
"The messenger from the Mist Ninja who came to deliver the message conveyed the Third Mizukage's intention, believing that it was another village, especially Konoha Village, that was most likely responsible."
"So, the alliance will not change."
"However, I'm afraid the specific plan needs to be renegotiated."
Rasa secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked, "Are you sure she is dead?"
The Suna Ninja who reported it said quickly, "The Mist Ninja said that it would be impossible to survive in that situation, unless the one who did it was Konoha's Tsunade!"
Rasa was now completely relieved and said, "You go and reply to the Mist Ninja envoy, I will send a new envoy to discuss with them!"
"Yes, Master Kazekage!"
Konoha, Hokage's office.
Hoshita Shuichi reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen the general process of how he rescued Pakura from the Sand Village and the information he got from Pakura.
After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect something like this to happen."
"The Sand Village paid such a huge price to form an alliance with the Mist Village. It seems that they have made a great determination!"
After expressing his feelings, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "Shuichi, what do you think the Sand Village and the Mist Village will do next?"
Hoshita Shuichi thought: "It shouldn't be difficult for them to figure out that this was done by us. Although it will delay the time for them to form an alliance, it won't change the result."
"In addition, even if they cannot confirm whether Pakura is dead or alive, they should change their original plan."
"My opinion is that as far as the direction of the River Country is concerned, the Sand Village and the Mist Village will go straight through the River Country and try to avoid our eyes and ears and head straight to the Fire Country."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly after hearing this: "This possibility is indeed very high."
"So, what are you going to do with that Pakura?"
Hoshita Shuichi said: "For the time being, let her work for me and not be included in the Konoha ninja series, so that the Sand Village won't find an excuse."
"Pakura is very capable. He will be a very strong force when dealing with the Mist Ninja!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that this method was indeed the most suitable at the moment, so he said: "In that case, I'll leave it to you!"
Coming out of the Hokage Building, Hoshita Shuichi stretched.
Tomorrow the Hokage Building will announce his promotion to Jonin. By then, he will be the youngest person to be promoted to Jonin in the history of Konoha!
"Let's go to Konoha Hospital first..."
Hoshita Shuichi walked towards the Konoha Hospital, walked around the hospital, and met Yakushi Nono, Shizune and others before leaving.
After returning home and washing up, Hoshita Shuichi went straight to his bedroom and had a good sleep.
He hadn't slept well during this period.
When he woke up, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon. Hoshita Shuichi went out shopping and bought underwear for Pakura according to her figure, as well as several sets of black backless dresses of different styles.
Such a beautiful back must be appreciated.
After buying clothes, Hoshita Shuichi returned to the River Kingdom.
When Pakura released his shadow clone and entered the cave, he was sitting in front of the campfire in a daze.
"Here, these are the clothes I bought for you."
Hoshita Shuichi put the bag at Pakura's feet.
Pakura was startled, and then he realized thatHoshita Shuichi was his real body: "You...how come you are so fast?"
"The Technique of Instantaneous Body Transformation!"
Hoshita Shuichi did not explain much.
Pakura looked down at the clothes in the bag, feeling more and more ashamed: "This guy is so…"
"Also, it's all lace and backless. Is it possible for such a young age to have such a fetish?"
Seeing Pakura's expression, Hoshita Shuichi quickly said: "Hey, I chose all these according to your style."
Pakura turned around and said, "Shuichi-sama, I need to change my clothes."
Hoshita Shuichi curled his lips and flashed out of the cave.
A moment later, Pakura, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the cave and was shocked when he saw the scene outside: "This is the southern part of the River Country, and... is that the headquarters of the Mist Ninja?"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded: "That's right."
Pakura looked at the boy in front of him who was much shorter than himself and asked, "You are too bold. The Hidden Mist Village is not without ninjas who are proficient in perception ninjutsu!"
Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "Don't worry, it only looks close, but it's actually far away."
"How about it, do you have any thoughts of rushing over?"
Pakura snorted: "I am not a fool, and I will not be blinded by hatred."
That's because I saved you!
Hoshita Shuichi hummed softly to himself.
Pakura was silent for a moment, then asked: "How are you going to arrange for me?"
"Call me Shuichi-sama!"
Hoshita Shuichi emphasized.
Pakura gritted his teeth secretly: "Shuichi-sama, may I ask how you plan to arrange for me!"
Hoshita Shuichi nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, you don't have to become a member of Konoha. You are just my subordinate and you only need to obey the orders of me."
"Once your injuries have healed, we will set off back to the Fire Country."
"Before the Sand and Mist Ninjas attack the Land of Fire, I need you to go to the Land of Fire's Daimyo's mansion to meet the Daimyo on my behalf."
Pakura was shocked when he heard this: "Daimyo of the Land of Fire, you..."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "You guessed correctly, I am a double agent for the Daimyo and the Hokage."
Taking out the Yaegaki sword and handing it to Pakura,Hoshita Shuichi continued: "This is a keepsake."
"And your mission is to obtain material support from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and build an underground experimental base for me."
Pakura, holding the Yaegaki sword, nodded: "I understand... Shuichi-sama!"
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Pakura's injuries had almost recovered, and Hoshita Shuichi set off with her to leave the River Kingdom.
This time, Flying Thunder God was not used. After entering the Land of Fire the next day,Hoshita Shuichi took the mask and black hooded robe and gave them to Pakura, and said, "Let's separate here!"
"I'll find you in three days."
Pakura nodded, but then hesitated and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will leave?"
Hoshita Shuichi said confidently: "After leaving me, is there anyone in the ninja world who can treat you better than me?"
This is certainly a nice thing to say.
True self-confidence comes from the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Remember, call me Shuichi-sama!"
Hoshita Shuichi emphasized again.
After hearing this, Pakura couldn't help but clench his fist. What a guy who knows how to ruin the atmosphere.
"Sir Shuichi..."
The heart is reluctant, but the mouth is honest.
Hoshita Shuichi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Work hard. If you do well, I will reward you."
"And it definitely won't be like the Fourth Kazekage, who just gives you a hero title with no real benefits."
After saying that, Hoshita Shuichi disappeared.
Pakura was secretly annoyed: "This guy is clearly making fun of me!"
etc.
Suddenly, Pakura's eyes fixed: "Is that instant body technique just now... the same space-time ninjutsu as Konoha's yellow flash?"
"At this age... what a scary brat!"
"But, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong in becoming a subordinate of someone with infinite potential."
"I just hope this bastard doesn't die so easily on the battlefield."
"I, Pakura, am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay a favor!"
Thinking in his mind, Pakura put on a mask, put on a hooded robe, and jumped towards the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire.
