In Yanying's office.
fell into a brief silence.
Bai Yu broke the silence: "If you treat Fu like this, when you tell her the truth in the future, it will also hurt her soul."
Mao Nan was extremely uncomfortable:
"Rather than suffering psychological harm, we don't want her to be put in danger for the sake of Takigakure Village."
Bai Yu said calmly: "But these things cannot be hidden for a lifetime."
Mao and Lin looked at each other.
The two were lost in thought.
Bai Yu stood up slowly: "This time the Uchiha team going to Takigakure will be led by me and Zhisui. If you don't believe me and you have heard of Zhisui's name, take Fu with you and let her know that Taki Whatever happened in the Hidden Village, only by accepting the reality can we grow better."
Mao Helin suddenly knelt down one after another.
Mao looked grief-stricken, lying on the ground, suddenly choked with sobs and knelt down and begged:
"Sir, if you find the orphans of the Ninja Village in Takigakure Village, we have no shame and no profit to ask you to take them back to Uchiha. We only ask that you prevent them from being bullied by other Ninja Village Ninjas."
Lin, who had always been a man of few words, hit his head hard on the ground, and blood spilled out from under Takigakure's forehead protector.
They contacted the Secret Technique through Takigakure Village last night and learned about the destruction of Takigakure Village. At that time, the two of them fell into a state of complete numbness. In their world view, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as the sky collapsed.
The two people originally wanted to rush back to Takigakure Village overnight.
But he received the last mission from the head of Takigakure Village, to raise Fu well in Uchiha Ninja Village, and live as an ordinary person with the identity of Takigakure Village ninja.
If not.
The two of them will not appear here today.
Bai Yu came to the two of them, raised his hand and used Palm Immortal Technique to heal the bruises on their foreheads caused by kowtow. He earned a small wave of "medical ninjutsu proficiency" and then promised in front of the two of them. :
"If you can."
"For Fu's sake, I will try my best to preserve some of the ninja-talented bloodlines in your Takigakure village. As for the civilians who are willing to move to the Country of Tea or the Country of Waves, I will provide assistance."
"If you don't believe it."
"You can follow me this time and go back together."
In exchange.
Of course, it is justifiable to gain the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki.
Hearing this, Mao immediately stood up and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He Lin looked at the young man excitedly, and soon said slightly worriedly: "Master Yanying, the strength of a person who can destroy Longyin Village in one night must not be underestimated. , Master Shibaki may have discovered this early and sent Fu to the Uchiha Ninja Village."
Shibuki is also Takikage, but because Takikage is a small village.
Bai Yu is more accustomed to calling him the village chief of Longyin.
Lin added:
"Although Shigeru and I are nominally jounin of Takigakure Village, if we compare the strength of ninjas in Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, our actual combat effectiveness is only at the level of chuunin. If we go back, it will be a hindrance."
Bai Yu explained: "I said, this time Shisui and I will lead the team, and there will be Uchiha elite ninjas. There is no need for you to take action in terms of combat. I brought you because you are familiar with the terrain of Takigakure Village."
Shigeru suddenly had a trace of fantasy: "The terrain of Takigakure Village is complicated. Although it was announced to be destroyed, Master Shibaki is extremely resourceful. He must have retained the middle power and hid."
Lin was overjoyed: "We know the shortcut to Longyin Village, Master Yanying."
Bai Yu asked: "How long will it take to reach Longyin Village by taking a shortcut?"
"A week!" Lin said with some embarrassment: "When we came here, it took about half a month."
"The speed is not bad." Bai Yu made up his mind and said seriously: "You two go back to the reception desk to pack your luggage, and after lunch, we will gather and set off. As for Fu, she will naturally know the truth when we get to Longyin Village. "
"yes!"
The two left.
Zhisui, who was standing behind Yanying's desk, had vaguely guessed the truth hidden by Bai Yu after listening to the whole story. He stared at the young man's back and said in a deep voice:
"Now I understand why you asked your subordinates to deliberately add a tailed beast doll when you gave her a doll to Fu at the beginning. Judging from the subsequent times when she took the seven-tailed doll out to play..."
This incident made Shisui feel incredible.
Because in the ninja world.
There would be no country or ninja village that would store tailed beasts in a ninja village with no diplomatic relations at all.
It was only after the marriage between Konoha, the Country of Fire, and Uzushiogakure Village, the Country of Uzumaki, that they could confidently seal the Nine-Tails in the bodies of Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina.
Bai Yu looked sideways at Zhisui and said calmly: "I originally wanted to wait until we set off to tell you this. He is worthy of being my designated second generation, Zhisui with a Kage-level mind. You are right."
Shisui sighed softly.
He can understand it too.
Why Bai Yu didn't reveal Lu Fu's secret? For Uchiha now, the power of tailed beasts can easily make many people get lost in it.
Of course, it is impossible for Uchiha in the future not to have this kind of power.
But compared to the current Ninja Village, which is working together to create a future development trajectory, Shisui is unwilling to have this kind of divine power interfere with the healthy development of Uchiha ninjas.
These things are best solved by them.
I guess Bai Yu thought the same way.
actually not.
Bai Yu just kept thinking that with the four figures of Suzuo and Shisui in his complete body, he was in the third stage, Itachi and Fugaku were both in the second stage, and Itachi should be half a foot faster in the third stage.
Have this kind of fighting ability.
Can he compete with Pain? If not, the tailed beast will be a disaster for Uchiha.
but now.
Bai Yu had to keep Fu by his side, and Xiao launched the plan to capture the tailed beast in advance. The protagonist group had not yet developed, and he was the blocker of Xiao's organization's mission.
Otherwise, the ten tails will merge easily once.
It's too late.
Bai Yu looked at Zhishui and said helplessly: "I'll tell you the specific details on the way."
"Well, I'll arrange for an accompanying ninja team."
Shisui said, with a serious look on his face, and left the office.
Able to influence the tailed beast jinchūriki.
And no matter the cost.
The strength of the existence that destroyed Takigakure in one night was definitely beyond their imagination, otherwise the young man would not have been in deep thought before.
"Shisui, help me contact Konoha. We may have to rely on their help on this trip."
Bai Yu suddenly asked to stop the water.
"OK!"
Shisui used teleportation to leave.
…
…
The land of thunder.
Yunyin Village.
In the Raikage's office, the Fourth Raikage Ai was sitting on the office chair, looking at the information scroll on the destruction of Takigakure Village on the table, looking at Azabu Yi solemnly, and said in a deep voice:
"To be able to quietly destroy Takiyin Village overnight, I'm afraid even the ninja hunters Xuanyuan Zhong don't have this kind of strength, right?"
Azabu Yi pondered: "Besides, there are still Nanao in Takigakure Village."
"It seems that things are not as simple as they appear. Send Daru Yin to Longyin Village to have a look. If you get anything, it's best. If you don't, just treat it as an annual leave for that kid."
Raikage made a decision on this matter.
Azabu Yi smiled awkwardly and nodded immediately. It was indeed the end of the year soon.
It can only be said that their Raikage-sama is rough and fine, and even his subordinates' annual leave is stuck.
"Alas!" After Lei Ying finished handling the matter, he looked at Azabu Yi seriously and said in confusion: "This winter, are the people of my Kingdom of Thunder really not able to eat even a single fish in every household?"
Azabu Yi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Sir, turmoil broke out within Kirigakure Village. Originally, we could buy a batch of sea fish from Kirigakure Village at a high price, but now this last road is gambled to death, unless we talk business with Uchiha head-on! "
Lei Ying snorted: "No way!"
Ma Buyi nodded secretly and immediately stepped back, preparing to summon Daru Yin.
Before going out in linen clothes.
Lei Ying warned: "Go to Yunlei Gorge for me and tell Kirabi that you should go out less recently and practice ninjutsu with peace of mind. I will go to test the results after a while."
"yes!"
Azalea leaves the office.
…
…
The land of earth.
Iwagakure Village.
In the office of the Tsuchikage Building, Ohnoki finished correcting the scroll. He rarely jumped off the desk and chair to stretch his muscles, and accidentally heard a clicking sound from his waist.
The old man looked embarrassed.
As soon as I turned around, holding on to my old waist, I gritted my teeth. Before I took a step, there was another kacha sound.
Huang Tu just came from outside the office and immediately stepped forward to help him.
Onomu's face was covered in cold sweat. He sat on the chair and said, "The damn back problem is happening again."
"Father, let's go to the hospital for a checkup some other time!" Huang Tu said worriedly.
"You have no idea about the medical level of our Yanying Village?"
Huang Tu looked embarrassed.
Their Iwagakure Village's economy and medical care are indeed at the bottom among the five major countries. Fortunately, Sunagakure is at the bottom in terms of economy, but Sunagakure has Chiyo, a master of poison, and once announced to the outside world that the medical treatment of Ninjakura is The level is only below Konoha with the Slug Princess.
If it weren't for Iwagakure's poor medical level.
His old father suffered from back pain.
It won't cause the disease.
Onoki calmed down, looked at his son, and sighed softly: "Have you sent the team from Takigakure Village?"
Huang Tu nodded and said, "Well, according to your arrangement, Chi Tu will be leading the team this time."
Onoki nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "No, do you feel that something is missing throughout the day?"
Huang Tu thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I really didn't find anything missing."
"Where is your daughter Kurotsuchi?" Onoki asked in a deep voice, patting his head.
Huang Tufan suddenly woke up and said anxiously: "I'll go find her right now."
Onoki sighed: "That weird guy, what's the use of looking for her? You go look for Deidara and see if that bastard is there."
Huang Tu understood the meaning.
He left the office immediately.
Ohnoki sat in his office chair and fell into deep thought. The massacre of Takigakure Village this time was not a big deal in the ninja world, and there must be some unknown information hidden behind it.
There must be some dark hand that is adding fuel to the fire.
The village of Takigakure was destroyed.
It doesn't matter.
But who is the mastermind behind it?
This is very important to Onoki, and what its purpose is is also very important. After all, Takigakure Village is just below his Iwagakure Village.
It is precisely because of this that it has attracted a lot of attention.
The country of Taki at this time.
It’s bound to be a mixed bag.
Ohnoki didn't want his apprentice and granddaughter to wade through this muddy water. It was pointless and could easily go wrong.
…
…
Fire Nation.
Konoha Village.
In the Hokage's office, Jiraiya looked solemn, looking at the latest information about Takigakure Village that Shikaku brought through the intelligence department, and fell into deep thought.
a long time.
Jiraiya looked up at Shikaku and asked, "What other idle jounin are there in the village?"
Shikaku thought for a moment and replied: "Kakashi, Gai, Tenzo, Asuma...are all here."
"Then let Kakashi, Gai, and Tenzo form a team and go to Takigakure Village to investigate the truth behind this conspiracy." Jiraiya said solemnly.
"I didn't expect that the ninja world, which has been peaceful for so long, would actually experience such turmoil. It seems that there are more terrifying existences growing somewhere we can't see."
After Lu Jiu pondered, he continued: "By the way, Uchiha sent an urgent message asking if we would arrange for manpower to go to Takigakure Village."
Jiraiya nodded and said: "Tell them our thoughts truthfully. If they also want to know the truth behind this incident, they can also assist in Takigakure Village."
Shikaku nodded and stepped back.
Jiraiya looked up at the forest outside the window. At this moment, a smiling face with a beard, pure yellow hair, and a Konoha forehead protector appeared on the window.
Naruto was hanging upside down outside the window.
Smiling at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya looked at his stupid apprentice and said helplessly: "Stop hiding, I have long found you hiding outside the window."
Naruto skillfully used chakra to absorb the glass window, easily opened the window, and got into the Hokage's office like a gecko, and said excitedly:
"Lovable Immortal, is this a big S-level mission?"
"Can I ask those jonin to take me with them?"
"Look, I have now perfected the ability to balance the released chakra!"
Jiraiya scrunched up his eyelids, snorted coldly, turned away, and thought about the problem, not caring at all that Naruto was in his ear, as annoying as a fly.
The village of Takigakure was destroyed.
Both he and Shikaku could guess one of the key reasons.
That means the tailed beast is being targeted.
Otherwise, who would have nothing to do when they are full and want to destroy a small Ninja village in a remote and remote area with a strange terrain?
At this time, it is not impossible to send Naruto out and use him as bait. It might have miraculous effects, but the problem is that the mysterious organization may not take the bait.
Jiraiya finally gave up the idea of taking risks.
He carefully looked at Naruto who was jumping up and down, and sighed inwardly that his master Sarutobi Hiruzen's title of "Monkey" should really be inherited by Naruto.
"Naruto, you haven't even graduated from the ninja school. Why do you always wear a forehead protector? It's not like you don't know that before you became a genin, you were not even qualified to do the task of weeding."
Jiraiya pulled Naruto to his side, took out two cans of "red bean soup" from the desk drawer, pulled the tabs of the two cans, and handed one of the cans to Naruto.
Naruto smiled and took the red bean soup with both hands, pulled out the small chair Jiraiya prepared for him from under the desk, took a sip of the sweet drink, and said with satisfaction:
"You are so long-winded, you lecherous immortal!"
"Didn't I tell you?"
"This forehead protector was given to me by Bai Yu before he left the village. He is the first true friend I made in Konoha. As a gift from my best friend, of course I must wear it at all times!"
"Do not worry!"
"In the past, I would have been unsure about graduation, but you and Bai Yu, the lusty sage, taught me a lot of ninjutsu. With my current strength, graduating from the ninja school is not a simple matter."
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Is Bai Yu really so important in your mind? Then who is the most important in your mind, me or him?"
Naruto was stunned.
This kind of assignment.
He really hasn't experienced it.
This is like asking him, if Sakura and her mother fall into the water, which one should be saved first.
Although he doesn't know his mother.
But I also know the importance of mother.
Naruto rolled his eyes at Jiraiya and said angrily: "This question is too boring, I refuse to answer!"
Jiraiya smiled.
refuse to answer.
It's also an answer in itself. It seems that the little guy Uchiha did have a positive influence on Naruto when he was at his most confused.
Jiraiya was not going to let Naruto go just like that. He raised the corner of his mouth and continued to ask: "Compared with Bai Yu and Zuosuke, which one is more important?"
Naruto drank the red bean soup in one gulp, squeezed the can, and stuffed the can back into Jiraiya's hand. He wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and said, "Sakura is back, I'm going to play with her!"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto's leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting in the position of Naruto in Konoha, he could only regain the feeling of traveling and relaxing physically and mentally by staying with this yellow-haired brat. Feel.
"Minato, you really gave birth to a good son who looks like you and has a personality like Kushina. When you chat with him, it feels like you two are still by his side."
Jiraiya couldn't help but feel sad.
At this time, there were slight footsteps and knocks outside the office door.
"Please come in!"
Jiraiya spoke calmly and gently put the can in his hand into the trash can next to his desk.
Shikaku walked into the office with Kakashi, Tenzo, and Gai.
Jiraiya sat on the office chair, holding his chin in his hands, and said seriously:
"Shikaku should have told you the key points of this mission on the way. I have nothing to remind you. Kakashi, you will lead the team this time and try your best to find out the forces that destroyed Takigakure Village, their names and purposes. , and even members, who are they?”
Kakashi, who had always been lazy, rarely cheered up and nodded: "Yes!"
"Get your ninja tools ready and go. You can wait for the investigation team sent by the Uchiha Ninja Village at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Taki. For this mission, cooperate with them in the investigation."
Jiraiya reminded.
"No problem!" Bai Yu's appearance suddenly appeared in Kakashi's mind, and he consciously told him that there was a high probability that he would meet that boy this time.
I just finished reading the storybook I brought back last time.
By the time.
You can ask if Bai Yu has any new works.
As for the money he and Tenzo deposited in the bank of the Country of Tea, there was no rush to withdraw it. It had only been deposited for half a year. The currency of the Ninja World had already begun to appreciate in value.
Kakashi believes that in the next few years, the currency of the Country of Tea will continue to soar, and Tenzo will thank himself for following him in the Country of Tea and replacing all his wealth with the currency of the Country of Tea.
…
…
In the afternoon, the autumn sun became less fierce and there was a touch of coolness in the air.
The land of tea.
Uchiha Ninja Village, outside the Uchiha Building.
A team of ten elite Uchiha ninjas were ready to go. They were wearing camouflage ninja vests designed by Bai Yu and wearing simple forehead protectors with flame logos. They lined up in a row with high momentum.
And outside the building.
Takigakure Murakami, Ninja Shigeru and Lin, took Fu with her small bag and got ready. They rolled aside to help Fu pack the small backpack. The two of them had sad faces and reluctantly said goodbye.
Bai Yu looked at the two girls and sighed.
It was as if life and death were parting.
Maybe a month later.
Fu is back.
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
at this time.
Zuosuke suddenly squeezed out of the crowd. He was carrying a small bag and shouted loudly: "Can you take me with you on this mission?"
