"Purges and massacres driven by several forces?"
The expression on Kurama Unkai's face turned to fear.
The words "purge" and "massacre" put together mean that the scope of involvement is not limited to Uchiha ninjas.
Perhaps, there are also hundreds of thousands of Uchiha civilians...
After hesitating for a moment, Kurama Unkai lowered his head and asked: "My lord, I would like to ask if there are any high-level officials from Konoha involved behind the scenes?"
"Um."
Menma didn't hide it and nodded.
Creak!
Seeing the Lord nodding, Kurama Yunhai gritted his teeth, his eyes full of fear.
He said in a hateful tone: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzo, do those beasts have any humanity at all? How dare they do such a cruel thing?!"
Although he is a hawk of the Kurama clan, it is purely because Konoha cannot meet their interests.
He thought he had seen the top brass of Konoha look dirty.
But I couldn't imagine that Konoha's top brass would do such an inhumane thing.
"Lord!"
Kurama Unkai looked at Menma and said, "Are we going to join in and fish in troubled waters?"
Although some rabbits die and foxes grieve for their own kind, he will never be kind to a woman.
As a member of the Red Moon Organization, he only needs to protect the interests of the Lord.
"In this chess game, I am one of the players."
Menma smiled meaningfully, and then explained: "You just need to prepare in advance and leave Konoha in the shortest possible time when the time comes."
"Yes! Lord!"
Kurama Yunhai lowered his head, sweat dripping from his forehead.
The game and the players, Uchiha are just pawns.
And they are not even qualified to be chess pieces.
Realizing this, Kurama Yunkai felt hardened in his heart, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, I hope you can turn around, otherwise I won't be able to save you, brother."
………………
The next day, inside the Satomi Hill Villa.
The warm sunlight shines into the room through the hollow curtains, and the mottled light spots slowly move from the edge of the bed to the bed.
"Well!"
As if sensing the warmth, the pharmacist Nonoyu who was lying on the bed let out a soft hum.
The thin eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally she slowly opened her eyes.
"where is this place?"
Nonoyu gradually woke up and regained consciousness.
The next second he couldn't help but groan in pain, feeling that all the muscles in his body were twitching in pain.
But she still gritted her teeth and sat up from the bed with her arms on her hands.
She looked around blankly.
A strange environment and strange people...
"Who are you?"
A man wearing a mask stood beside the bed, lazily leaning against the wall.
From the exposed eyes, Nonoyu could see the smile in his eyes.
"This is a shady guy with a bad taste."
Nonoyu made a judgment immediately.
"Wandering Witch? Oh, no..."
Menma suddenly said: "The Wandering Miko has been treated as an abandoned child by Danzo. I should call you Yakushi Nonou now."
Nonoyu frowned his slender eyebrows and looked at him for a while.
He immediately turned his head without saying a word and looked out the window blankly.
"Don't tell me you want to play the childish trick of amnesia."
In response to Menma's teasing, Nonoyu asked expressionlessly: "How is the child who killed me before?"
"died."
Hearing Menma's answer, Nonoyu's face could no longer remain calm.
She suddenly turned her head and murmured in despair: "Dead? How could..."
That kid is really familiar.
And what the child said before she passed out.
"Why did he call me Dean, and his glasses and medical ninjutsu..."
The more he recalled, the more familiar that face became, and the expression on Nonoyu's face became more desperate and sad.
"That child, is he Kabuto?"
But how could I forget Kabuto?
I obviously remember it very clearly.
"Is that child really dead?"
Seeing Nonou's somewhat desperate expression, Menma also put away his playful smile.
Why is this woman's heart more fragile than that guy Kabuto?
If you keep teasing me, I'm afraid it will be ruined.
"If you're asking about the spy at the base, he's indeed dead."
Before Nonoyu could say anything, Menma changed the topic again: "If you are asking about the orphan pharmacist Kabuto, then he is still alive."
He took out another letter from his arms and threw it directly in front of Nonoyu.
"Take a good look at this letter. This is what he left for you. After reading it, you will understand everything."
After saying that, Menma shook his head, turned and left the room.
Katcha!
With a soft slam of the door, the room returned to calm again.
"Kabuto, are you still alive?"
Nonoyu stared blankly at the letter and murmured: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."
She almost did something that she couldn't forgive herself for.
Sususu~
Nonoyu came back to his senses, and the numbness and confusion in his eyes dissipated a lot.
Instead, he opened the letter in front of him and read it.
The expression gradually changes with the content of the letter.
Anger, sadness, shock, numbness, bitterness...
She saw Danzo and Orochimaru's conspiracy, she also saw Kabuto's journey from struggling at a loss to finding himself, and she also saw Kabuto's comfort and persuasion.
Although the tone of the letter was very normal and positive, it was as if the sensible child had never changed.
but……
"Kabuto, I'm really sorry. If I could have recognized you at that time, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
Nonoyu touched the imperceptible wet marks on the letter paper, with a strong look of guilt on his face.
After a while, the psychological quality of a long-term spy officer allowed Nonoyu to calm down.
Start analyzing the information and identity of the "masked man" immediately.
The code name is Tianzhi Yuzhong, the leader of the mysterious organization [Chiyue].
The people within the organization are not clear, and the strength of the leader and even the organization is not clear.
The only thing I know is that the strength of "Tianzhi Yuzhong" has definitely reached the level of "Shadow".
There are few achievements, but the enemies in every battle are very powerful.
"Kumogakure's ab team, Konoha's Shunshen Shisui, and the S-level rebel ninja Orochimaru..."
Moreover, Tianzhong can freely enter and leave Konoha, ignoring the seal that covers the entire Konoha.
The more he thought about it, the heavier Nonoyu's heart became.
Why would a strong man with such strength spend all his energy to save himself?
Is it to use him to blackmail Kabuto?
Katcha!
With a crisp sound, the door was opened again.
"Miss Nonoyu, this is the meal we prepared."
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Nonoyu frowned and turned around.
Seeing that old face, she recalled it in her mind for a moment.
After reacting, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Are you Kurama Yunhai, the younger brother of the leader of the Kurama clan?"
Kurama Yunhai put the food on the bedside table, leaned slightly and said seriously: "Brother is ill, and now I will serve as the leader of the Kurama clan."
The pommel horse is full of clouds, are you feeling sick?
"Haha~"
Nonoyu smiled helplessly and said in a bitter tone: "Then I hope he will recover soon."
After that, she said no more.
After picking up the food, he turned to look out the window.
When Kurama Yunhai saw this, he wisely exited the room.
Calm returned to the room again.
………………
Konoha seemed a little quiet at noon, and the sunlight seemed a little lazy.
Nonoyu sat next to the window, looking at the blooming flowers in the flowerpot with distracted eyes.
Slowly stretch your fingers from the darkness to the sunlight.
The moment you touch the sun, you feel warmth spreading from your fingers to your body.
Katcha!
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Nonoyu turned his head and smiled: "You're still here."
Her smile was very warm, like the sunshine at noon, and seemed to be full of maternal love.
But in Menma's opinion, Nonou's smile was as hypocritical as Kabuto's.
No, more hypocritical than Kabuto.
"It seems you are recovering well."
Menma walked to the bed and sat down, and teased.
Nonoyu smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at the children outside.
"Hehe! Come after me!"
"I can't catch you, I can't catch you!"
Looking at these carefree children playing and laughing, the sadness in Nonoyu's eyes dissipated a lot.
The delicate face couldn't help but reveal a soft color.
"Nonoyu, do you like children very much?"
Sensing the change in Nonoyu's expression, Menma suddenly asked suddenly.
"Yeah~"
Nonoyu relaxed his body and leaned against the bed, and said in a gentle tone: "No matter what happens, the carefree laughter of these children is always a good medicine to heal the pain."
"The children in the orphanage should be more sensible than them, right?"
Hearing this, Nonoyu's eyes became dark and his expression was a little painful.
"On the contrary, I want the children in the orphanage to be less sensible and grow up carefree, but..."
But, she can't do it.
In order to save the orphanage, Kabuto worked as a spy in various countries for five years at an age when he should have been laughing and playing. He had to wear someone else's mask at all times and live cautiously.
And she herself was even used by Danzo to kill each other with Kabuto.
Thinking of this, Nonoyu looked at the man in front of him who called himself "Tian Zhizhong".
Without this man, she would be dead now.
And Kabuto, the child, will definitely collapse after discovering that he killed his "mother" with his own hands.
Then he will be used by Orochimaru and become a tool in his hands...
"thank you."
"……Um?"
Menma was stunned by Nonoyu's endless thank you.
After reacting, he said with a smile: "Why are you not afraid of me now?"
"What's the use of being afraid?"
Nonoyu looked outside with a wry smile.
Looking at the four familiar Hokage portraits in the distance, she sighed and said, "I don't know if you are arrogant or confident. Aren't you afraid that I will run away and expose your conspiracy?"
She was locked up in Konoha from beginning to end.
"Wandering Miko is dead, killed by Konoha herself."
Menma said in a calm tone: "The one who is alive now and sitting in front of me is the pharmacist Nonou, a gentle orphanage director."
Nonoyu pointed at himself with a puzzled expression and asked: "Do you think the word gentle is suitable to describe me?"
She is an intelligence agent at the root, the strongest intelligence agent.
The code name Wandering Miko does not represent "vitality", but represents the death of countless ninjas from other countries.
For her like this, the word gentle is irrelevant.
"You demand too much of yourself."
Menma smiled and said, "When I just entered the door, I saw you touching the sun with your hands. Did you feel that the sun was very gentle?"
Nonoyu was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
The long-lasting tenderness that comes from light.
"The sunlight that shines into the room is gentle to you, and the laughter of the children outside is gentle to you."
"The lights that light up after the sun goes down are gentle to me, and the smell of spring, the warm wind in summer, the fallen leaves in autumn, and the warm sun in winter are all gentle to me."
After saying that, Menma looked at Nonou and smiled: "When I just walked in, the sun shone on your soft, downcast face, and I also saw the gentleness."
Nonoyu's eyes dodge and he turns to look at the sunshine outside the window.
Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "If I no longer have the identity of a wandering witch, what value do I have to you?"
In her opinion, the reason why Tianzhi Yuzhong saved her was because of her ability as the root's number one spy.
Only in this way can her role be fully utilized.
Only she has the value of being rescued and won over.
And just like Tianzhi Yuzhong said.
She is actually a dead person in this world.
Once she exposes the news that she is still alive, she will not only be wanted by Konoha, but also implicate the children in the orphanage.
Because she knows too much.
Now only Tianzhi Yuzhong can take her in.
And doing spy work for him is the only way Nonoyu thinks he can repay him.
"So you are also a fool?"
Menma was slightly surprised when he heard Nonou's words, then he laughed and said, "Do you have no other identity besides being a spy?"
Another identity?
"I don't know what else I can do now. What other identity is more valuable to you?" Nonoyu asked blankly.
From a very young age, she was forced to learn all kinds of espionage knowledge.
Now he has become an excellent spy, lurking in various countries and ninja villages, and has obtained a lot of confidential information for the root.
However, she can do nothing but be a spy.
Menma scratched his head helplessly and asked: "Since you think you can only be a spy, why did you choose to be the director of an orphanage, and even rebelled against Danzo for this?"
"..."
Nonoyu fell into silence.
Yes, why?
"Even if you no longer have the identity of the wandering witch, don't you still have the identity of the director of the orphanage?"
"……What?"
No Naiyu suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his expression was very unbelievable.
He happened to be eye-to-eye with the dark blue eyes under the mask.
Those dark blue eyes were obviously smiling, but as sharp as blades.
At this moment, Nonoyu felt as if all his thoughts were seen through.
As a spy, Nonoyu wanted to lower his head immediately because he didn't want Menma to see his evasive eyes.
But that's it.
"Nonoyu."
Menma spoke again: "Kabuto has grown up, and he chose to stand in front of you, in front of everyone in the orphanage, to protect your safety."
No Naiyu's eyes trembled and he slowly raised his head.
Menma's tone also became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Should you choose to use the power in your hands to save others and shoulder the responsibility of being the dean, or should you choose to use the power in your hands to hurt others and continue to escape the tenderness in your heart?"
"Now, it's your turn to make a choice."
