Chapter 17: Fighting Alone

Hanyu's performance in the jungle is much more sophisticated, and his skills in vigilance, pathfinding, and movement are even comparable to experienced ninjas...if the multiple uses of Chakra are excluded.

Soon, he found the footprints he had left before, and then "followed the vines" to return to the place where the Second Hokage was burned.

"There is no trace of other people appearing." Hanyu made such a judgment the first time he saw the scene...He had never thought that he would come back here before.

The huge hollow tree has been turned into fly ash together with the remains of the Second Hokage. After mixing with the autumn rain that fell in the sky a few days ago, it turned into a gray paste and spread it on the ground. , if someone had approached here before, they would definitely have left footprints on it.

It's just that his judgment didn't attract everyone's attention. To be precise, he didn't get any feedback from everyone. Sanshio, Mitomon Yan and Uchiha Kagami just stood there, silent by default.

This unknown primeval forest land is the last place Nidaime Hokage stayed, and it is also the place where he was buried. Nidaime's burnt body was mixed in the ashes of plants and trees on the ground, so for Sanxiao and the others, even if it was accidentally Stepping on it is also a kind of disrespect and blasphemy... No one wants to disturb the eternal sleep of the second generation.

Thinking of the Thousand Hands that have been resounding in the ninja world since the era of chaos, and finally died peacefully in such an insignificant place, even the body could not be recovered, and the only one who accompanied him in the end was only a strange boy. Although for Hokage himself, even if this kind of death is not a death without regrets, at least it is a matter of benevolence and benevolence, but for his relatives and disciples, this is really a sad thing that cannot be controlled.

Hanyu quickly sensed their state of mind from the expressions of the crowd, so he turned his head to Sakumo Hatake and said, "Hatake, come with me, we're going to search for Yinkaku's body."

"But..." Hatake hesitated, so why not act without authorization? The person who can give orders in this ninja team will not be Hanyu.

"Let's go." Hanyu ignored Hatake's hesitation, but rather forcefully pulled him away from here.

At this time, let the three of them stay like this for a while.

Before, Hanyu was moved to that tree hole by the Second Hokage in a coma, so if he used the tree hole as the coordinates, he didn't know the exact location of Kinkaku Yinkaku's body, but they must be nearby. After all, with the situation of the Second Hokage at the time, it was impossible to take the fainted Hanyu for long-distance movement.

So Hanyu and Hatake Sakumo searched around the place where the Second Hokage died in a fan shape. Not long after, they found the two corpses.

"Judging from the degree of corruption of the corpses, they don't look like people who have been dead for nearly a week." After quickly coming to the corpses and examining them individually, Hatake Sakumo said... Although it is impossible to tell the difference now Which one is the golden horn and which one is the silver horn... The smell from the corpses was not serious, and the scene where they had been eaten by insects and ants in the forest and only bones remained did not appear at all.

After thinking about it, Hanyu said, "Maybe it's because they ate some preservatives indiscriminately."

He remembered that the two chakras in front of him seemed to have swallowed the Nine-Tails Chakra, and it must have a strong bactericidal effect.

"Will there be ninjas embalming their bodies before they are alive?" Hatake expressed serious doubts about Hanyu's speculation, but the fact that the remains of these two people can be kept until now must be related to their physique, but the specific For what reason he did not know.

Hatake continued, "You stay here, I'll call the captain and the others over."

The nominal captain of this team is Mitomon Yan, but in fact any decision can only be reached by three people discussing it. Now, it's time for them to pay homage to the second generation, and it shouldn't matter if Hatake calls them.

Hanyu stayed where he was, and searched for various items as much as possible... The reason why Jinkaku and Yinkaku had such powerful combat power during their lifetime was because they had absorbed part of the Nine-Tails Chakra, and on the other hand, they were Possesses multiple powerful ninja tools.

The sword and the gourd that were destroyed by the Second Hokage were two of them. Hanyu took the lead in collecting the fragments of these two things, but because they had been completely broken, these two things had long since lost their original functions. It's a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

I just don't know if Yunyin still accepts such souvenirs...

Hatake Sakumo came and went in a hurry, and soon he brought the three of them here. By this time, Sanshio and the others had calmed down, at least from their expressions, there was nothing unusual about them.

"This is Jinjiao and Yinjiao? Can you confirm their identities?" After arriving here, looking at the two unrecognizable corpses, Sanxiao asked with a frown.

In this case, it is really difficult to confirm their identities based on their appearance and physical characteristics.

"It's indeed them." Mitomonyan first inspected the ninja fragments that Hanyu had collected, and then said with certainty, "These are ninjas used by Kinkaku and Yinkaku. They are called the Seven Star Sword and the Red Gourd respectively."

Then, he walked to the side of a corpse, raised one of his arms, and showed a light golden rope wrapped around that arm, "Golden rope, then this corpse is a golden horn... …I didn’t expect them to be found by Yunyin or the ninjas from other villages first.”

They didn't move very fast, and they were still worried about whether they would be preempted by ninjas from other villages before seeing the corpse. Specifically, at this time, six days have passed since the attack that occurred at the alliance ceremony, and at least three days have passed since the deaths of Jinjiao Yinjiao and Nidaime. Therefore, until now, the two remains have not been taken the lead by others. Discovery is indeed a lucky thing.

It has to be said that this has a lot to do with the delay of the Second Hokage. The place where the alliance ceremony was held was in the Land of Thunder. Daime Hokage fled with his disciples, took the initiative to act as a bait, and moved in the opposite direction with his disciples, and the place where he died in the battle was in Tianzhi Country, which shows that he was fighting while retreating, fighting alone After three days, the ultimate one-for-two exchange was finally realized here.

"The previous rainy day helped a lot. Not only did he cover up the battle route of the second-generation target, but even under the low visibility of the rainy day, he didn't even find the fire that burned the second-generation target... However, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, who can tell?" I thought they would die so far away." San Xiao explained.

Traces of the new rain a few days ago can be seen everywhere in the forest. The battle between Nidaime and Kinkaku Yinkaku was largely covered by this rain, but this is only one aspect, as Sanxiao said In that case, who would have thought that under such extreme disadvantages, the Second Hokage would be able to drag the battle all the way to Tanokuni?

It was really a long, desperate battle with no reinforcements in it, full of despair and joy and hope.
