Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 225 What happened to Director Nakamura?!

The next morning.

Yesterday's meeting lasted the whole morning.

Later, Kushimaru also reported the results of the battle between Kumogakure and Konohagakure on the coastline of the Land of Fire that he had observed.

Just as Kaito expected, the Kumogakure Village side still broke through Konohagakure's interception.

At the last moment, the Third Raikage, who was knocked away by the Third Mizukage, also arrived in time.

He single-handedly stopped most of Konohagakure's troops and withdrew calmly.

Kaito had to sigh again that the Third Raikage, who had reached top levels in speed, strength, and defense, is indeed an almost unstoppable existence in this time period.

However, after the battle, neither side had the intention of landing on the Land of Whirlpool to defeat the defeated enemy, which made the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the Kirigakure frontline camp feel a little relieved.

As for the subsequent tedious arrangements of personnel and materials, Kaito was just a bystander and did not have any sense of actual participation.

However, after the meeting, Kaito received good news.

Originally Kaito thought that as the Leader of the Flying Unit Squad, he was not a wounded soldier, and as the person in charge of the only intact Flying Unit warship after the Flying Unit's No. 1 and No. 4 ships were destroyed and the No. 3 ship returned for overhaul, he might be left in the front-line camp to assist in the defense.

However, unexpectedly, because Kumogakure Village did not have any effective air strike force and the Flying Unit had a relatively complete staffing.

Kaito was actually arranged by the Third Mizukage to lead the members of the Second Squad of the Flying Unit to return to the Kirigakure Village as a guard to accompany the wounded.

As for the intact No. 2 ship, it was temporarily taken over by the Leader of the Flying Unit Harusame, who led the remaining members of the Flying Unit to continue to stay in the front-line camp.

Although unlike the other resting personnel, according to the Third Mizukage's intention, after the overhaul of the third ship is completed, Kaito and his subordinates will follow back to the front line again.

But for Kaito, who was eager to return to the village to check on the situation of Nakamura Keiko and others, this was undoubtedly the best result.

It's a pity that Mei and Zabuza, as Ao's bodyguards, and Kisame, as one of the only two ninja swordsmen who were not injured, were left at the front line and could not return together.

Looking at the three supply ships slowly approaching in the distance.

'I guess no one could have imagined when these ships set out that they would be greeted by a whole ship full of injured soldiers returning?'

"Kaito boy, come here."

Kaito, who was instructing his subordinates on precautions at the port, heard the Third Mizukage's voice calling out from behind.

Looking back, he saw the Third Mizukage walking towards him with a group of returning jonin.

After letting his subordinates disperse and stand guard, Kaito quickly ran in front of the Third Mizukage.

"Third Mizukage-sama, you are looking for me?"

"Kaito boy, come on board with me later."

"Yes."

Kaito looked at the Third Mizukage and Yagura who followed closely behind him with some embarrassment, fearing that the old guy would bring up topics like "becoming the Three-Tails Jinchuriki" or "who is suitable to inherit the Mizukage" again.

There were no accidents on the way back. If it weren't for the wounded people everywhere on the ship, there would not even be a sense that the Great Ninja War was still in full swing.

Although the Third Mizukage expressed a little bit of affection towards Kaito, that was all he did.

It was more like he had brought a doctor with him. Apart from the time when Kaito was treating him and changing his dressings, the two of them didn't have much communication.

This made Kaito feel a little relieved.

He didn't want to cause jealousy among other 'colleagues' because of the sudden favoritism of his 'superior'.

After returning to the village, Kaito was somewhat worried when he saw that although the village had been repaired, it still showed obvious signs of being ravaged by the giant beast.

Fortunately, he rushed all the way to the vicinity of the Kirigakure Hospital and saw the intact hospital building and surrounding houses. Kaito was a little less nervous.

"Aunt Keiko is a workaholic. She stays in the hospital all year round and doesn't go home. She should be fine!"

Kaito walked towards the hospital building while comforting himself in his heart.

At this moment, the hospital building was extremely busy with people coming and going. Kaito casually glanced at others and noticed that many of the 'NPCs' he had seen during previous missions were walking around with bandages wrapped around them or supporting others.

Kaito grabbed someone and asked directly.

"Where is Director Nakamura now?"

Who would have thought that when this man was grabbed, he was stunned at first when he heard Kaito's question, and then he stammered in panic.

"Brother Kaito, I don't know. Go ask someone else."

Seeing the person in front of him like this, Kaito felt as if a bolt of lightning exploded in his mind. A bone-chilling chill surged through his body. His hands trembled involuntarily, and his feet became weak, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

'Something happened!'

Just when the man grabbed by Kaito was about to take the opportunity to slip away, Kaito suddenly woke up, grabbed the man's collar with one hand in anger, and growled in a suppressed voice.

"Tell me! What happened to the person?!"

Looking at Kaito's hideous appearance with bulging veins, the man was so frightened that he stood there stupidly, shaking all over and not daring to move.

Although Kaito's roar was not loud, his unusual behavior attracted the attention of many people around him.

However, Kaito, dressed in a ninja costume, was obviously on the verge of losing control, and no one dared to stop him. Instead, many people subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, there were still many people who knew Kaito before. A nurse who was in charge of receiving patients in the hall walked over tremblingly and asked cautiously.

"Kaito, what's going on?"

Kaito turned around and glared at the nurse who was speaking with his bloodshot eyes.

The nurse was so frightened that she took a step back and almost fell down.

"Tell me! What happened to Director Nakamura?!"

The bone-chilling sound slowly came out from between Kaito's teeth.

Unexpectedly, the nurse, who was originally a little panicked, froze after hearing this, as if she didn't understand what Kaito said.

The nurse asked cautiously with a slightly doubtful tone.

"Director Nakamura?"

Then the nurse looked at Kaito who was still on the verge of a rage, and then looked at the passerby who was being frightened by Kaito who was holding the collar. She seemed to have thought of something and immediately spoke quickly.

"Ah! Director Nakamura has told everyone not to reveal her location to others at will!"

Now it was Kaito's turn to be confused.

The ferocious look on his face quickly faded away, and he slowly turned his head to look at the passerby he was holding in his hand, then turned stiffly to look at the nurse who had spoken.

He opened his lips slightly, and after holding it in for a long time, he only uttered one word.

"Ah?"
