Chapter 022 But He Didn't
Honglei walked over, picked out some medicine, and stuffed half a bottle of blood-enhancing pills into his mouth before bandaging the wound with Suihua.
After a simple bandage, the two men were able to temporarily stop the blood loss. Honglei thought for a moment and then said to Suihua, "Wait for me here first. I'll be back in a few minutes."
Suihua hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. She was only a fifth-year student, and she encountered such a thing during her first combat mission, which made her feel extremely uneasy.
"Don't worry, there will be no one around here soon." Hong Lei helped her to a relatively clean hut, asked her to stay away from the corpses, and then walked in the direction of Jin Yuan.
Jin Yuan's death is a trouble for Todoroki. After all, he is also a chuunin, and he will not just sit idly by and ignore the unexplained death of Yunyin Village.
Moreover, you can kill Chuunin at the age of seven?
Honglei didn't want to return to Yunyin's sight. At least he still had freedom now.
Therefore, Jinyuan's body must be disposed of.
Dragging his heavy body, Honglei arrived at Jinyuan's location again. He felt as if his whole body was falling apart. Pain and exhaustion kept washing over his spirit alternately. But the only thing worth celebrating was that,
He did not suffer any serious fatal injuries.
Taking a deep breath, he dug out a shallow pit with his tired body, and then sprinkled some medicinal powder bought from the black market on Jin Yuan's body, which was stripped naked. This stuff can attract a kind of scavenger.
Insects can make Jinyuan completely disappear in one night.
After taking a breath and burying Jinyuan, Honglei took all his belongings to the other side and burned them all.
Then he carried the two bandits back to the big house where the bandits were, and cleaned up some blood stains.
After everything was completed, Todoroki returned to where Suihua was hiding.
Suihua didn't obediently hide inside to rest. Todoroki saw her little head appear in the window when she was still far away. At the same time, he could also see that she was obviously relieved when she saw him.
"Are you okay..." Suihua looked at Honglei with a gloomy expression, which felt very strange.
"It's okay, let's talk about this later, let's get out of here now." The sound of explosions and the smell of blood will attract many bloodthirsty beasts.
For example, a tiger with a length of more than ten meters, a black bear with a weight of more than ten tons, and a giant python with a body thicker than a thunderbolt.
Suihua nodded. After a period of rest, her body did not improve, but made her even more tired.
It's not a physical deterioration, but I just can't muster any strength.
Todoroki looked at Suihua and shook his head slightly. He probably guessed what was going on.
In order not to make him suspicious when he was poisoning, Jin Yuan should have used this kind of poison that can make the body weak in three military dry rations.
So Kakui and Honoka should be the ones affected.
Todoroki carried Honoka on his back and came to Kakui. After removing a door panel, he found a rope and tied him to it. Then Todoroki carried Honoka on his back and dragged the door panel towards Wako Village.
.
At least, he wants to bring Kakui back to his family intact.
"Honoka, are you still awake?"
"Hmm." Suihua hummed softly.
"Honoka, can I ask you a favor?"
Suihua nodded again without hesitation.
Honglei continued, "After we go back, people in the village will probably ask us about what happened. I need you to modify two places in your story."
"First, when I broke in to rescue you, I was not injured. Second, after I killed the bandits, I took you and Kakui away from here without doing anything extra.
Regarding this matter, Suihua, can I leave it to you?"
Suihua nodded silently behind her.
Honglei felt a little relieved, as long as she agreed.
Suihua's expression management can be said to be phenomenal. Even after being severely tortured, she still kept a gloomy face without showing any expression.
So she just lied in two insignificant places, and no one would find anything unusual on her face.
Honglei also arranged a story for himself. He followed Jinyuan's arrangement and hid in the east of the village waiting for Jinyuan's signal to take action.
But then he discovered that there was no one at his target location, and because he was worried about his teammates, Todoroki went to the big house to check the situation, only to find that he could not create chakra, and then it was connected with Honoka's subsequent testimony.
Got together.
As for other things, he would answer that he didn't know. Jin Yuan himself was a spy. As long as his identity was revealed, it would have nothing to do with Hong Lei.
He has done everything he can do, and he can only wait for the situation to develop.
Todoroki carried Honoka on his back and dragged the door panel slowly forward in the woods. He used the transformation technique on the way to cover up the traces of damage caused by ninjutsu on his right hand. Then he returned to Heguang Village at dawn and knocked the bell.
He walked into the village chief Kazuo's house.
Kazuo Wako was shocked when he saw Todoroki and the others, but Todoroki didn't say much. He just told him that the mission was completed and asked him to go to Yunyin Village to pay the balance.
Of course, in the end, I asked him for a room to rest in. Hong Lei had reached his limit.
…………
The next morning, Todoroki and Honoka finally woke up after sleeping for a whole day and night.
The scratches on Honglei's body have disappeared after a day of rest, and some larger wounds have also closed up. Suihua's physique is much weaker. Although there is not much residual poison in her body, after experiencing torture
, it will take at least a month for her to recover from her injuries.
When leaving, Todoroki rented a carriage from Kazuo Wako and drove towards Kumogakure with Honoka and Kakui.
Although it is said to be a carriage, it is actually just an old horse pulling a cart.
Todoroki was sitting in the front driving the car, while Honoka looked at Kakui in a daze from behind with a gloomy face.
"Honoka." Todoroki called her, "What are you going to do in the future? Do you still want to continue to be a ninja?"
Her companion died in front of her eyes, and she was also tortured. This was really too cruel for a girl under 11 years old.
Honoka did not reply immediately, but stayed for a while, "Kakui...he was able to run away at that time. His physical strength was better than mine. If he abandoned me from the beginning, he could have run away."
