When Nangong Zhe opened his eyes again, he was already in the house given to him by the Hatake family.
"I'm … back?"
A voice suddenly sounded in Nangong Zhe's mind.
"That's right, you fainted after the explosion. A blonde young man used a spatial ninjutsu to bring you back to this village. "
"A lion?"
Nangong Zhe realized that the owner of the voice was the black lion that appeared in his mind and became his familiar.
"Call me Li Yang …"
The black lion Li Yang said to Nangong Zhe.
"Vassal beasts … What exactly are they? A different type of summoned beast? "
Remembering that Li Yang was his familiar, but he didn't know what a familiar was, Nangong Zhe quickly asked.
"Familiars aren't summoned beasts, a person can only sign a contract with one familiar. From now on, the two of them will live and die together. Unless both of them agree to terminate the contract, it will never end. The two of us will share our lives. In other words, you will share my long life with me. "
"Is that so …"
While Nan Gongzhe was still thinking about familiars, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked. When Nangong Rou opened the door, she saw her brother standing at the door looking at her with a smile.
"Brother!"
Nangong Rou immediately threw herself at Nangong Zhe.
"You're awake … you've been unconscious for three days for unknown reasons. At that time, you were covered in blood, I was really scared … scared brother … "
Nangong Zhe had mixed feelings, he just tightly hugged Nangong Rou and didn't say a word.
After a while, Nangong Rou seemed to have vented her emotions and came out of Nangong Zhe's arms.
"Brother … wait, I'll go cook for you. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long. "
"Okay!"
Seeing Nangong Rou go into the kitchen, Nangong Zhe started talking to Li Yang again.
"Li Yang …"
"What happened?"
"Although I don't know how long you've lived, I know that you must be very experienced in battle. This time, I was in such a dangerous situation even though I was fighting against someone of similar strength. Indeed, it was my own lack of cultivation. It doesn't matter if I die. But I don't want my sister to live every day in fear. I want to become stronger, even stronger! "
"I understand. Once upon a time, I thought that a good friend of mine was like you, who also cultivated inner strength and used swordsmanship. I think that he might be your ancestor. Although I didn't learn from him systematically, I still have a certain amount of understanding under his influence. As for my battle experience, I will do my best to impart it to you. After all, our lives are now the same. If you die, I die. I will help you. "
"Ancestor? I didn't expect my family to have such a long history. "
"By the way, you still need to make a trip to Lion Mountain."
"Lion Mountain?"
"That's right, I died at Lion Mountain. My physical body is there, and the existence of my soul also requires energy. Go to my physical body and take my Spirit Nucleus. I can also use the power of the Spirit Nucleus to help you strengthen your physical body and fulfill my promise to you. Moreover … Lion Mountain is also a place suitable for your training. "
"I know. I will accompany my sister, and then I will find a way to go to Lion Mountain to practice for a while. "
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Nangong Zhe opened the door and saw Watergate standing at the door.
"Watergate -sama!"
"Well, Nangong Zhe. Now that you are awake, come with me to see the Hokage and explain the specific process of this mission. "
"Okay, I will go and explain to my sister."
"Of course, this is what you should do."
Nangong Zhe went inside the house and told Nangong Rou that he was going to see the Hokage. Then he went out the door and went to the Hokage's office with Watergate.
"Speaking of which … I have to thank Watergate -sama for rescuing me."
The two walked side by side on the street, Nangong Zhe turned to Watergate to express his gratitude for being rescued.
"Ah … it's nothing. The scroll that Kakashi gave you was actually Kakashi's summon beast. I happened to be with Kakashi, and when I heard the news, I knew it was bad, so I immediately rushed over. I hope you don't mind that I left a Space Ninjutsu mark on your body. After all, Three Generations -sama asked me to take care of you. "
Watergate frankly told Nangong Zhe that he left a mark on his body.
"I have to thank the mark, otherwise it would have been difficult for me to come back. The explosion at that time was bound to attract the bandits, and I fell into a coma without a trace of resistance. Watergate -sama coming to save me is already a blessing. "
"It's good that you don't blame me."
The conversation between the two ended at the door of the Hokage's office.
Watergate knocked on the door and said respectfully.
"Hokage-sama! Wood leaf Jounin Watergate, Wood leaf Chunin Nangong Zhe come to report the mission. "
"Come in!"
The voice of Three Generations came from the room.
Nangong Zhe walked into the office behind Shui Men who pushed the door open.
Sandaime wasn't the only one in the office, Wood leaf's two consultants, Zhuan Xiao Chun and Mito Menitis, Root's leader, Shimura Danzo, and one of the Sannin, Jiraiya, were all sitting in the office.
"Metro-sama! Metro-sama! Shimura-sama! Sensei! "
Seeing several people, Watergate saluted one by one, and Nangong Zhe saluted one by one.
"Well, Watergate, let's talk about the discovery of this mission."
"Yes! Then Nan Gong Jun will explain his guess to you first, and I will add to it. " Watergate turned to Nangong Zhe and said, "Nan Gong Jun, please talk about what you saw and your guess."
"Okay." Nangong Zhe nodded. He slowly said his guess about the identity of the so-called wandering ninja, the town's residents were kidnapped to build the underground fortress, and the Lion Mountain was used as bait.
"After I sent Nan Gong Jun back, I also went to the Lion Mountain."
Seeing Nangong Zhe finished, Watergate also continued.
"After cleaning up the remaining bandits, I went down to the underground fortress they built under the leadership of the residents. The structure is of war level. It is impossible for such a project to be supervised by only one Chunin. There must be more ninjas sneaking into the Land of Fire. We need to conduct a search around the important places. "
"I have a general understanding of the situation …" After listening to Nangong Zhe and Watergate's explanation, the Three Generations pondered for a moment and finally said, "It is indeed necessary for us to conduct a search. Recently, the friction at the border has become more and more frequent. At this time, there must be no mistakes in the country. "
The Three Generations turned around and looked at Shimura Danzo and said:
"This cleaning operation will be carried out by the root, Danzō, thank you for your hard work."
"I am the root of the Wood leaf, eliminating the obstacles of the Wood leaf is the right thing to do. Then I will go and arrange the operation first. "
"Well, you can go back first. And Watergate and Nan Gong Jun, you can also go back. Next, we have to discuss. "
"Yes, Sandaime -sama."
Watergate and Nangong Zhe responded in unison, and then retreated together.
Danzō took a deep look at Nangong Zhe and disappeared.
