Chapter 57 Hinata Kumikawa is critically ill
Looking at the ANBU members who came in, the Third Hokage knew that the other party should have something to report about the frontline war.
Sure enough, after the ANBU members came in, they immediately knelt down on one knee and said to the Third Hokage: "Hokage-sama, the report from the frontline battlefield has arrived."
Then, the ANBU glanced at Aangji and the four of them vaguely.
"It's okay, let's just say it. They are all children who can be trusted." The Third Hokage knew the meaning of Anbu's glance, but he had no intention of driving Aangji and the four away.
There is no need to hide the war information on the front line. Anyway, all the ninja clans will know it before long.
It would be better to be more generous and let the ANBU tell everyone the information directly in front of a few people.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
After organizing their language, the ANBU members began to speak.
"In the battlefield of Rain Kingdom, the three masters Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade were defeated by Hanzo, but Hanzo did not kill him and gave the three masters the title of Sannin."
"What! Aren't Orochimaru and the three of them a match for Hanzo together?" When the Third Hokage heard the news, he was so shocked that his pipe almost dropped to the ground.
Not to mention the Third Hokage, the four members of Aoji were also dumbfounded at this moment!
Aangji knew from the original work that Hanzo had a record of defeating the Sannin.
However, in this life, he had personally experienced Jiraiya's power.
What's more, three such powerful people can't defeat a Sanshouyu Hanzo!
From this, we can see how powerful Hanzo is.
And if Nagato in the future can kill Hanzo instantly, how strong must he be?
It is estimated that Nagato in the future will be close to the level of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in his lifetime.
Aangji couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency again.
"Jiraiya-sensei lost, and Orochimaru and Tsunade-sama..." Minato's tone was complicated.
He actually didn't expect to hear such a bombshell just after returning to Konoha!
"Fortunately, Mr. Jiraiya is fine." Uzumaki Kushina also calmed down, which was a relief to herself and to Aoji and the others.
"Even three adults lost together." Uchiha En muttered to himself without knowing what he was thinking.
"How are the other ninjas doing?" the Third Hokage asked immediately.
"Nearly half of the 2,000 ninja troops were lost. The other ninjas were also spared by Hanzo on his own initiative. However, the situation in Sunagakure Village is the same as ours in Konoha." After answering the third Hokage's words, the ANBU member added another sentence.
The entire Hokage's office suddenly fell into silence, except for the sound of the Third Hokage picking up his pipe again and taking a puff.
"Hey, we have lost nearly 4,000 ninjas in the Land of Rain this time, right?" The Third Hokage sighed.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, Sunagakure's losses are no less than ours in Konoha." The ANBU member said cautiously.
Listening to this number, several people felt heavy in their hearts. It can be said that these losses have already broken their bones.
"Afterwards, please send more compensation to the families of those ninjas who died in the battle. Is there any other information?" The Third Hokage's tone was solemn.
"in addition......"
Halfway through speaking, the ANBU ninja turned his head and glanced at Aangji.
Aangji's heart suddenly jumped, and he always felt that a bad premonition was about to happen.
Sure enough, the ANBU member's next words directly confirmed his suspicion.
"Hatake Sakumo-sama, who was originally guarding the River Country, went north to meet Orochimaru and others who had retreated from the Rain Country. As a result, the rear defense was empty. He was attacked by the puppet master troops of Sunagakure Village and lost some ninjas."
The Third Hokage didn't speak, which meant that the ANBU would continue talking.
"Hyuga Kumikawa, the third elder of the Hyuga clan, was poisoned in order to cover the evacuation of the large force during the Sunagakure raid. Although Lord Sakumo came back in time to save Elder Kumikawa's life, Tsunade-sama also An antidote has been prepared for him, but he may not be in good health."
Perhaps because Aangji was here, this ANBU spoke in a rather cryptic manner.
But everyone present understood what the other person meant when he said he was not optimistic about his health.
It means just wait for death, there is no hope, go home and prepare for the funeral.
"Where is my grandpa? Where is he now?" Hearing this, Aangji couldn't help it anymore and asked anxiously with red eyes.
"Aoji-kun, Elder Hyuuga Kumikawa has returned with the injured troops. It will probably take no more than 3 days to arrive. Don't be anxious. There will be medical ninjas accompanying you all the way."
Hyuga Aangji is now the face of the Hyuga clan besides the clan leader.
As an ANBU, he recognized him the first time he entered the Hokage's office.
For ANBU members, it is a basic skill to memorize the names and faces of important people in the village.
"Yes, Aangji, I believe your grandfather will be safe and sound." Although Uzumaki Kushina said so, even she did not believe it.
As boys, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha En didn't say much words of comfort, they just patted Aoji's left and right shoulders in tacit understanding at the same time.
Friendship between boys sometimes does not require many words. A look or an action can already express the other person's concern.
Aangji could only choke and nodded.
"When Elder Hyuuga Kumikawa comes back, Konoha will definitely give him the best treatment, and we will never let the heroes who sacrificed for Konoha die like this." The Third Hokage said these words sonorously and forcefully without any hesitation.
Aangji can guarantee that if the Third Hokage talks to him about the will of fire at this time, he will definitely go berserk.
For Aangji, there is no so-called sacrifice that is necessary.
Only the parties concerned have the right to say whether they are willing to sacrifice themselves to save more people. No matter how much others say, they are just being hooligans.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama. I believe grandpa will be fine." Aangji said with a smile.
It's just that there's too much bitterness in this smile.
The Third Hokage did not continue to bring up this topic.
After the ANBU ninja reported some other information about the battlefield, the Third Hokage asked him to withdraw.
But Aangji couldn't listen to what he said next.
He is still immersed in the words that his grandfather's health is not optimistic.
"Let's talk about other things in a few days. You little guys go back and have a good rest. There are still tasks for you to complete later."
Looking at the four people in front of him who were obviously distracted, the Third Hokage did not continue to talk about the daimyo's preparation to form the "Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors".
Instead, he simply asked a few people to go home and have a good rest and relax.
After leaving the Hokage's office building, several people, led by Minato Namikaze, arrived in silence all the way to the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
Several people can still understand Aangji's mood at this moment.
Especially Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato. They both lost their parents early. The pain when they lost their parents was so heartbreaking that they still feel cramps in their chests when they think about it.
And what I heard from the ANBU members just now was that Tsunade-sama's words were basically a death sentence for Hinata Kumikawa.
If you want to ask who has the best medical skills in the entire ninja world, it is undoubtedly Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first Hokage.
Now, if even Tsunade can't solve the problem, no one else can do anything about it.
It was supposed to be a happy meal, but after hearing the news suddenly, several people were not very interested.
Therefore, I ate hastily and left.
"I'm sorry, Minato, Kushina, and En, it's all because of me that you all can't eat well." Aangji looked at the three of them apologetically and said,
Aangji also knew that his bad mood also affected his three teammates.
"Aoji, what are you talking about? It should be 'we', remember!" Uzumaki Kushina angrily corrected Aoji's grammatical errors.
"Yes, Aangji, are you stupid in carrying out your mission?" Uchiha En also deliberately pretended to look at Aangji with a disgusted expression.
"Aoji, we are all worried about you too. You have to cheer up. We are still waiting for you to carry out the mission together." Minato's sunny smile made Aoji's heart seem to be healed, and he felt much better. .
"Really, don't say such words that will make people cry." Aangji wiped the wet tears from the corners of his eyes and said helplessly.
Finally, after Aangji promised to treat him next time, they dispersed and went home.
After returning home, Aangji first visited the clan leader Hyuga Ryusuke, and then went to meet the two brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi.
Then, Cangji, the elders in the clan who had good relations with each other, also visited them one by one.
Since the intelligence news from the frontline battlefield has not been returned yet, the clan does not know the current situation of Hinata Kumikawa, and Aangji did not say much.
In the Hyuga clan, the elders of the older generation have passed away one after another in the past few years.
Relatively speaking, Hinata Kumokawa lived the longest on the battlefield.
Hinata Kumokawa, who is over 60 years old, was cured after this poisoning.
But the early damage to the body is still too great.
If Hinata Kumikawa had been twenty or thirty years younger, he probably wouldn't have suffered such a severe physical deficit due to the poison this time.
The first reason for this situation was poisoning, and the second reason was that Hinata Kumikawa was too old.
No matter how powerful a person is, he can't stop the passage of time, not to mention that Hyuga Kumikawa himself is just a slightly stronger Hyuga clan member.
If you want to block time, the minimum requirement is to step into the Sixth Level. Only then can you be freed from the knife of time.
But looking at the entire history of the ninja world, including the past and the future, not many people can do this.
In this way, while Aangji was waiting anxiously, the injured ninja troops on the front line of Konoha finally returned.
Aangji didn't even train for the past three days. He just stayed at home and quietly recalled every moment with Hinata Kumokawa.
Aangji originally wanted to go to Konoha Hospital to visit and take care of Hinata Kumikawa as soon as possible.
But unexpectedly, Hinata Kumikawa actually refused the treatment arranged by the Third Hokage, and chose to return directly to his house.
Although he didn't know why, Hinata Aoji, who had already rushed to Konoha Hospital, had to rush back home.
At this time, the news that Hyuga Kumikawa was injured and would soon die had already spread throughout the entire Hyuga clan.
The door of Aangji's house was already crowded with members from various sect branches.
Everyone has a sad look on their faces, which shows that Hinata Kumikawa is still very popular on weekdays.
It can be said that Hinata Kumikawa should be the last older generation member of the Zong family.
I remember when Aangji was first reincarnated into this world.
At that time, there were still several elderly people of the same generation as Hinata Kumikawa who were still alive, but they all passed away one after another in the past few years.
When Hinata Kumikawa also passes away, it may represent the end of an era.
When Aangji returned home, the door of his house was already surrounded by people.
"Aangji is back."
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way.
For the first time, Aangji felt that the steps he took into the house became heavier, and every step he took seemed to be tied to a thousand kilograms of weight.
Finally, he entered the front door of his house and arrived outside the room where Hinata Kumikawa was.
