CH 69

Unconsciously, the war between Konoha and Sunagakure has been going on for more than a month!

During this period of time, the Shinobi from the two Great Shinobi fought dozens of large-scale battles on the border of the Land of Fire, causing heavy casualties!

After that, the battle between the two sides gradually changed from a frontal firefight to various assassinations. After the scale of the battle was reduced, Konoha’s frontline immediately took the remains of the sacrificed Shinobi and also the seriously injured Shinobi who could no longer participate in the battle. The captured enemy Shinobi were also sent back to the village.

The morgue in Konoha Hospital was already filled with a large number of remains at this time. The family members came from all directions of the village crying, and their sadness spread outward like a plague.

Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Councillor, Utatane Koharu have arrived here early to comfort the family members in a soft voice, but the effect is limited.

“Hokage-sama.”

Konoha Hospital’s Dean, Nara Shikai walked from afar with a solemn expression and whispered, “The statistics are correct. A total of 132 bodies were brought back from the front line this time, and 74 Shinobi were seriously injured and could no longer participate in the battle.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face was ugly.

The Shinobi sent to the frontline this time was just over 2,000 people. It was only a month, but one tenth of them either died or injured!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was both distressed and angry. After a while, he turned to Koharu and said: “Koharu, the remains of the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the village will be buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery tomorrow morning. Shikai, the companions who are serious injured will be handed over to the hospital!”

“Understood.” Koharu and Shikai nodded at the same time.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen left Konoha Hospital and went straight to the Anbu’s headquarters.

In addition to the remains and the seriously injured Shinobi, Konoha also brought back three Sunagakure’s Shinobi. Two of them committed suicide on the road. In the end, only one captive came to Konoha alive. At this time, he had been taken away by Anbu and was being severely tortured.

It’s just that the remaining one is a tough one, and no matter how Konoha’s Anbu tortured him, he didn’t say a word and stayed silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rushed to learn about the situation here, and immediately called Yamanaka Inoichi.

Yamanaka Clan is good at Psycho Mind Transmission. It can directly invade the brain of the other party and read the information they want. Whether they say it or not, cooperate or not, it has no effect on them at all. Of course, this process will cause irreversible effects on the victim.

But who cares?

After Inoichi arrived, the Sunagakure’s Shinobi, who had regarded death as his home, became agitated.

“Wait! You… are from Yamanaka Clan! Damn it!”

“What do you want to know? I will speak, I will tell you all, no, no! Stop!!!!”

Amidst the horrified screams, Inoichi directly used Psycho Mind Transmission to invade the captive’s mind and consciousness with his powerful spirit.

Mental invasion is actually second in terms of pain, and the key is psychological pressure, which is very huge!

Although the Sunagakure’s Shinobi did not feel the pain, the terrifying psychological pressure almost made him collapse on the spot.

After a while, Inoichi slowly opened his eyes, and that Sunagakure’s Shinobi was drooling at the corner of his mouth and the struggle in his eyes gradually dissipated. He is becoming chaotic, like an idiot.

“Send him to Konoha Prison.” Hiruzen decided the life of the Sunagakure’s Shinobi easily, and then looked at Inoichi, “How is it, what information did you get?”

Inoichi’s face was heavy: “Hokage-sama, I have found the real reason why Sunagakure invaded Konoha!”

“Speak!” Hiruzen said solemnly.

“Sandaime Kazakage is missing!” Inoichi said in a gloomy tone, “The higher-ups of Sunagakure defines this as Konoha’s conspiracy, and then transferred all the contradictions of Sunagakure to our village!!!”

“Those bastards!!!”

Hiruzen is so angry. After all, this is like a person is sitting at home happily, and a pot suddenly fell from the sky, hitting his head!

‘The Kage of their village disappeared. But not only they didn’t look for him themselves, they even come over to attack our village. Unforgivable!’

Hiruzen can’t wait to send all the Shinobi in the village to the frontline to kill Sunagakure’s Shinobi, but he knows that it was unrealistic. After the war with Sunagakure broke out, the other Great Shinobi Villages were already ready to move. So Hiruzen must send enough Shinobi to guard the borders with various countries to prevent being attacked by those Shinobi Villages.

Therefore, in the war against Sunagakure, Konoha can only use 30% or 40% of its combat strength at most.

Hiruzen pondered about it, and then decided to select some Shinobi from the big Shinobi Clans and send them to the front line.



At the same time, Kanpū, Iruka, Anko, Tsukasa, Kotetsu, and Izumo also hurriedly rushed to the Konoha Hospital.

“So many people?”

Kotetsu looked at the hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the hospital with a look of surprise.

“Look!”

Iruka pointed at the masked Shinobi who were maintaining order, “That’s…”

‘Anbu!’

‘Sure enough!’

Kanpū realized that his guess had come true.

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has been going on for more than a month. After such a long time, it is impossible for no one to die, but there was no movement before. So, Kanpū guessed that it was because the front-line battle was tense before, and once the war softened slightly, the casualties would definitely be transported back to Konoha immediately!

Kanpū’s face turned grim. After all, in the war with Sunagakure, Gekkō Clan also dispatched dozens of people, including his cheap father, Gekkō Hoshino, and Hayate’s father, Gekkō Seiseki.

“I see, the Shinobi who died on the battlefield were sent back!”

Anko suddenly exclaimed.

As soon as the words came out, the others fell silent.

“Damn, the Shinobi of Sunagakure are really hateful!” Kotetsu clenched his teeth.

“Kanpū, your father…” Iruka knew that Kanpū’s father was on the frontline, so he was a little worried.

“Although I believe in my father, but… I’ll go in and have a look.” Kanpū said.

“We’ll accompany you!” Tsukasa’s face was full of worry.

“Wu wu…” The little puppy also wagged its tail at Kanpū.

“No, I can do it alone.”

Kanpū waved his hand, turned and ran into the hospital.

lot of people gathered outside the hospital, but it was very quiet inside the hospital. The people along the way walked quietly, as if they were afraid of disturbing the heroes who had returned.

Kanpū ran straight towards the nurse desk where Keiko usually worked at.

When he ran there, he saw two old figures, and he recognized them immediately, they are Gekkō Inoue and Gekkō Matsushita.

Beside them, there are Keiko, a few middle-aged women, and two boys who are slightly older than him, about ten years old. He managed to identify one of them, and he is Gekkō Reifū who came to his house more than a month ago to ask Hoshino for advice!

Kanpū’s first Chakra Refining Technique, Henge no Jutsu and Bunshin no Jutsu were collected from him.

‘Why is he here?’

Looked at the sadness on Reifū and the others’ faces, Kanpū’s heart sank.

“Kaa-san.”

Kanpū ran over and called.

“Kanpū-chan?” Keiko was a little surprised when she saw Kanpū here, “Didn’t you go to attend your classmate’s birthday party? Why did you come to the hospital?”

Hearing the tone of her voice, Kanpū breathed a sigh of relief: ‘It seems that his cheap father didn’t kick the bucket.’

So, he replied: “I just passed by the hospital and saw a lot of people crying, so I wanted to come in and have a look.”

“Kanpū-chan, there’s nothing to see here, go home early, understand?” Keiko blinked her eyes at Kanpū twice, as if signaling something.

“Oh.” Kanpū replied absent-mindedly, but his attention was focused on the side.

At this time, Inoue and Matsushita greeted Keiko, and then walked towards the basement with Reifū and the others, so Kanpū subconsciously wanted to follow.

But unfortunately, Keiko stopped him directly: “Kanpū-chan, go home quickly! Don’t worry about kaa-chan!”

“But…”

Kanpū guessed that they should be going to the morgue to see their relatives for the last time. Although clansmen’s dead made his heart feel heavy, Kanpū vaguely felt that the place in the morgue might be full of goodwill towards him.

However, he couldn’t do anything. So under Keiko’s serious gaze, Kanpū turned around and left Konoha Hospital.
