After Hatake Sakumo announced the mission order, Mo Congfeng tried to persuade the medical ninja team to return to the Kawanokuni camp, on the grounds that the mission to search for the Third Hokage's disciples required the Hatake team to advance lightly and quickly, and it was not appropriate to bring a medical ninja team with them.

Hatake Sakumo also thought it made sense, but was sternly rejected by the Medical Ninja Team. The Medical Ninja Team insisted that the disciples of the Third Hokage might have been seriously injured, and they had meaning to follow and were of certain use.

So the Hatake Sakumo team continued to move forward in the original formation, heading towards the Konoha camp in the Land of Rain. After approaching the camp, the Hatake team will search the fan-shaped area from the camp to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, and gradually approach the border area between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire, and finally retreat into the Land of Fire to join the Third Hokage there.

The Third Hokage guessed that his disciples were most likely hiding in that fan-shaped area. Because of the report of the withdrawn remnant army, the three disciples of the Third Hokage chose to stay behind during the retreat, and the area where they disappeared in the end should be within this range!

So the Third Hokage personally formulated a search plan and search route. The next day after the order was conveyed, Konoha Village used the ninja dog Akata to send a special ultra-long-distance signal flare. He also wrote a letter to tell Hatake Sakumo that if they encountered a difficult enemy near the border between the two countries, they could send a signal flare to ask the Third Hokage for help, and the Third Hokage would quickly lead his direct troops to break through the border to reinforce!

Mo Congfeng guessed that this difficult enemy should specifically refer to the demigod Salamander Hanzo who called himself the Rain Shadow from the Hidden Rain Village in the Land of Rain, because he had not heard of any other famous masters in the Land of Rain.

They were getting closer, maybe they would reach the Konoha camp in the Land of Rain tomorrow. Just then, the leader of the team, Shigeo Inuzuka, came to the end of the team and told Mo Congfeng a message.

Captain Hatake Sakumo found a warrior with a head injury and unconsciousness hiding in a tree hole in front of the team. Perhaps he was from the Iron Kingdom like Mo Congfeng, and finally chose to leave the Iron Kingdom and began to travel around!

Mo Congfeng's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong, but Aburame Zhixiong beside him seemed very excited. Mo Congfeng's brain was working at full speed, trying to find a way to cover it up.

Mo Congfeng thought, "Fortunately, this warrior is injured and unconscious. There is still time and opportunity to find a solution to the problem. Maybe I can make sure that he never wakes up again and can't tell the secret I'm hiding!"

Mo Congfeng ran forward while trying to think of a solution. "Maybe I can take the risk of asking Miss Shizuka for help. Under the pretext of caring about my fellow countrymen and actively participating in the treatment, I can secretly use some means to kill the samurai. No, no, Miss Shizuka may become a bigger suspicious loophole. Will I have to kill Miss Shizuka one day in the future to cover up the truth?"

Mo Congfeng had followed Inuzuka Shigeo to the tree hole and came up with a final plan. "As soon as I see the samurai, I will take advantage of Hatake Sakumo and others' unpreparedness, draw my sword, shout at the enemy, and then stab the enemy to death with one sword. Although this may arouse the suspicion of Hatake Sakumo and others, it is also straightforward and decisive, leaving no future troubles!"

Aburame Shixiong beside him urged, "Senior Congfeng, why don't you go in and take a look at your fellow countryman? Why do you look a little timid? This is not your usual style!"

"You are so young, what do you know? There is a saying 'homesickness', do you know what it means? Well, today I know that wanderers are not only homesick when they are close to their hometown, but also when they are close to their fellow villagers!" Mo Congfeng smiled slightly and pretended to be angry.

Aburame Zhixiong had become familiar with Mo Congfeng in the past few days. Seeing that Mo Congfeng was not really angry, he laughed out loud and was about to mock him.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo must have heard the two people talking, and walked out of the tree hole, "Mo, Miss Shizuka has used medical ninjutsu on the samurai, and the samurai has woken up. His name is Mifune. I remember that when you were in the illusion, you called out the names of Mifune and Kobayashi. He may be an old friend of yours. Come in and recognize him!"

Hatake Sakumo's words forced Mo Congfeng into a dead end, and basically destroyed Mo Congfeng's last resort. Mo Congfeng really wanted to cast an illusion and turn the warrior in the tree hole into an obedient puppet, but the illusion left by the hall did not have such a supernatural power.

Of the three and a half ninjutsu left by the hall, Mo Congfeng has only barely mastered the Fox Heart Technique and the Magical Naraku Viewing Technique, and has not yet officially tried to use them. Moreover, these two illusion techniques only have the ability to trap and scare the enemy, and have no effect on changing memory at all!

Mo Congfeng stepped into the tree hole and felt that the space was very small. There were two medical ninjas in the tree hole taking care of the injured samurai Mifune. The two medical ninjas blocked Mo Congfeng's view and he could not see the samurai's appearance.

The two were Miss Shizuka and another female medical ninja that Mo Congfeng was not familiar with. "Thank you, thank you Miss Shizuka. I want to talk to this samurai alone, and the tree hole here is too crowded. Please leave first. Sorry for bothering you two!"

Shizuka and the female medical ninja exited the tree hole. When Shizuka and Mo Congfeng passed each other, Shizuka stared at Mo Congfeng's expression without blinking, as if she wanted to discover something from Mo Congfeng's face.

Mo Congfeng entered the tree hole, and the dim light shone on the young face of the warrior. It was not the middle-aged Mifune from Japan that Mo Congfeng knew. Mo Congfeng looked at Mifune's face carefully, "It's a pity that you are not the Mifune I know!"

Mo Congfeng glanced at the people outside the tree hole and found that they were not too far away from the tree hole. Obviously, the conversation in the tree hole could be easily heard by people outside the tree hole, especially the gossipy-looking Aburame Shio who was standing very close, as if he wanted to stick his head into the tree hole so as to eavesdrop on the conversation between Mo Congfeng and Mifune.

Mo Congfeng turned his body slightly, and the base of his left hand lightly touched the wooden scabbard of the dagger hanging on his waist. The wooden scabbard transmitted a kind of coldness to Mo Congfeng's left hand that should not have existed. Mo Congfeng felt it difficult to make a decision!

"Are you also a samurai?" Mifune asked weakly.

"Yes, I was also a warrior from the Iron Country!" Seeing Mifune's puzzled look, Mo Congfeng immediately added, not giving the Iron Country warrior Mifune a chance to say more, "Are there many Mifunes in the Iron Country?"

Mo Congfeng made up a story on the spot, "I have a good friend named Mifune, who was one of my traveling companions. At that time, I was wandering alone and heard rumors about the overseas continent, so I contacted a few familiar samurai companions. At my suggestion, we decided to take a ship to explore the overseas land. But we had no experience, and soon we encountered a shipwreck overseas in the Kingdom of Rivers. They all disappeared, and I was the only one left. I hurt my companions, and it was my suggestion that hurt my companions!"

"Oh, then I think you must be very disappointed to see that I am not your old friend!" Mifune said weakly, "Mifune is a big family in the Iron Country, there are many Mifunes there, may I ask what is the name of your friend Mifune? Maybe I know your friend!"

Mo Congfeng turned his head and faced away from Sanchuan in the tree hole, and during this moment he thought of his words.

Mo Congfeng made a painful expression of disappointment as if hope was dashed, and whispered weakly, "That's enough, I don't want to talk about the past anymore!"

Mo Congfeng's voice suddenly changed from gentle to firm, "I have let go of my samurai pride and my identity, and I am determined to become a ninja and join the Hidden Leaf Village of the Land of Fire! From now on, I am the Fire Country's Konoha Ninja Congfeng Mo, and no longer the Iron Country's samurai Congfeng Mo!"

Mo Congfeng turned around and looked at the samurai Mifune, "So, I want to get rid of the past that I deeply blame myself for and start a new life. Don't mention the samurai anymore."

Unexpectedly, Mifune showed a painful expression, "Actually, I have the same past as you!"

Huh? Mo Congfeng felt a little confused!

Mifune began to calmly tell his story, "I heard that a great ninja war was breaking out in the Rain Country, so I brought a group of companions to the Rain Country to observe the ninja's fight, hoping to find a way for samurai to rival ninjas! Unexpectedly, I ran into Hanzo, the demigod of the Rain Country, who had returned victorious. Many of my companions were brutally killed by him. Hanzo was really strong. I was defeated in just one fight with him. The wound on my head was left from that time!"

Mifune showed a look of reminiscence, "My companions and I were all poisoned by the Salamander Hanzo. We were no longer able to fight. Before I fell into a coma, I asked Hanzo to let my companions go, but Hanzo only poured a little antidote into my mouth!"

"When I woke up, I found that my companions had died of the poison, and I was the only one left!" Sanchuan stared into Mo Congfeng's eyes and smiled bitterly, "Do we have the same past?"

Mifune sighed, and continued with regret, "In the next few days, I felt hopeless and lost the meaning of survival. I was in a daze and felt the rapid passage of life! My companions died because of me. Most of them came to the battlefield of the Rain Country because of the surname Mifune and because of their trust in me, and encountered all this!"

Mifune's eyes began to brighten. "Until I met you and was saved by you! Maybe it was the God of Warriors who gave me a revelation and brought Mr. Congfeng to me, telling me to get rid of the shameful past of failure and move towards a new life!"

Mifune's eyes were blazing. "Next, I will return to the Iron Country and concentrate on training. I will definitely gain the power to rival the ninja. By then, if I have the chance, I will come to the Rain Country again and challenge Hanzo of the Salamander!"

Mo Congfeng was speechless. "Living well is more important than anything else. Samurai have been eliminated by the times. Ninjas are the protagonists of this era. Only those who obey the tide of the times can be strong. Give up your unrealistic fantasies!"

Mifune retorted, "No, Mr. Congfeng, you have lost the spirit and faith of a samurai. You are no longer a samurai. But I will be different from you! Although we have the same experience, we have made different choices. I will return to the Iron Kingdom and revitalize the samurai! And you have chosen to become a ninja! Let time bear witness to our choices!"

Mo Congfeng felt that the conversation was out of his control, and he seemed to have come out of the crisis of being exposed. He had no interest in continuing such a conversation.

So Mo Congfeng decided to ask some serious questions and asked Mifune about the information he knew about the war, especially the news about the Third Hokage's disciples.

In order to express his gratitude to the Konoha ninjas for the treatment he received, Mifune told them everything he knew.

Hanzo, the demigod of the Rain Country, obtained the support of the three countries of Fire, Wind and Earth, and headed towards the border between the Fire Country and the Rain Country, and prepared his plan.

When the war broke out among the three kingdoms of Fire, Earth and Wind, everyone's attention was attracted by the war. Hanzo of the Salamander led the ninjas of the Rain Kingdom and suddenly jumped from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, announcing the establishment of the Hidden Rain Village, and he himself would serve as the Rain Shadow!

Then Hanzo of the Salamander equipped the ninjas of the Rain Country with gas masks, which released a terrifying toxin that covered a wide area. The heavy rain in the Rain Country never stops all year round, and there are many swamps and ponds. The three countries of wind, fire and earth have prepared medical ninjas early, and even used the rich toxins produced by the Rain Country to make weapons to attack each other. Among them, the best are Tsunade, the disciple of the Third Hokage, and Chiyo of the Chiyo clan!

However, the three kingdoms of wind, fire and earth were far from prepared for the terrifying range of the poison released by Hanzo of the Salamander. Many ninjas were poisoned. Hanzo of the Salamander took the opportunity to launch an attack, breaking through the camps of the three kingdoms, achieving a glorious victory and gaining huge results!

The three disciples of Konoha's Third Hokage organized the remaining troops to retreat, but were chased by Hanzo of the Salamander. The three disciples joined forces and finally forced Hanzo of the Salamander to retreat! The ninjas of the Rain Country began to call them the "Three Ninjas"!

This was the general information that Mifune said. After hearing this, everyone in the Hatake team fell silent. The three ninjas clearly defeated Hanzo, but why didn't they retreat to the Land of Fire? Instead, they disappeared here? What happened to them and where did they go? This became a mystery.

They rested near the tree hole for one night, and that night Inuzuka Shigeo sent an extra ninja dog back. Mo Congfeng also met Inuzuka Shigeo's fourth ninja dog, Akabane, Akabane's younger brother. Hatake Sakumo wrote a letter with the newly acquired information and sent it back to Konoha through Akabane!

The next day, Mifune was already getting better, and he repeatedly expressed his admiration for the magic of medical ninjutsu. After thanking the medical ninjas and Mo Congfeng, Mifune insisted on leaving. Mo Congfeng shared with Mifune many of his not-so-favorite Bingliang pills, and finally waved goodbye.

Mo Congfeng was already impatient, but he still pretended to be cold and soft-hearted, staring at Sanchuan's receding back, bidding farewell reluctantly! Mo Congfeng thought to himself, it seems that he still has some talent for acting and being a spy!

At noon that day, the two brothers Akaya and Akabane returned at the same time, bringing back a scroll and two letters!
