"Bai Yu! They said they didn't know where you were, but I knew you would definitely come to Ino!"
Naruto was extremely excited, hugged Bai Yu, and said excitedly.
Bai Yu gently patted Naruto's shoulder, and Naruto reluctantly left.
"Naruto, how have you been during this time?"
Bai Yu looked up and down at Naruto, who was wearing an orange coat and pajamas underneath, and asked with a smile.
Naruto grinned happily and said, "Every day is going well, how about you?"
Bai Yu glanced at the deserted street outside the flower shop, and immediately pulled Naruto into the flower shop. He deliberately glanced at Hidan who was sitting by the tea stove. Hidan immediately understood where the meaning came from and left from there. .
Ino enthusiastically cleared the coffee table and invited Naruto to sit down.
"Bai Yu, did you want to go out just now?" Naruto looked a little cautious after sitting down and asked.
Around Bai Yu, Naruto's temperament became somewhat restrained. This was also a reaction based on not seeing him for a long time.
After getting acquainted with each other again, Bai Yu estimated that what should happen to Naruto or what will happen to him. Naruto's nature cannot be suppressed.
This is also the main reason why Naruto can succeed.
Ino poured Naruto a cup of tea.
Bai Yu nodded and said:
"I was just going to go out to find you."
Naruto took the tea cup with both hands and thanked Ino. His expression was slightly stunned and he said in surprise: "You want to find me?"
"Well, Naruto, we'll talk about other things later. Have you noticed anything wrong with the environment you live in these days?"
Bai Yu asked curiously.
"Yes, yes!" When Naruto heard Bai Yu mention this, he immediately laughed and said: "You should still remember the teacher Mizuki from our Ninja School, right?"
"Mizuki..." Bai Yu and Ino looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.
"Yes, yes, Mizuki!"
Naruto nodded excitedly.
"What's up with him?"
Bai Yu frowned slightly and looked at Naruto, who was drinking tea and still smiling.
But Naruto's happy expression could not last more than two seconds, and soon became a little complicated. He looked at Ino, then looked at Bai Yu, approached Bai Yu, and whispered:
"Bai Yu, do you still remember the art of seduction you taught me a long time ago?"
Bai Yu: "..."
"What I taught you was the transformation technique!" Bai Yu explained with a dry cough, glanced at Ino who was curious and sighed, "You can rest assured about this, Ino is not an outsider."
Naruto lowered his head and said in shame: "Of course I know that Ino is not an outsider. This kind of thing is really unspeakable."
Ino said strangely: "Do you have any little secrets between boys?"
Naruto quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, it's the transformation technique that Bai Yu taught me a long time ago. I used it in front of Teacher Shuimu during the last actual combat. As a result, that guy asked me to use the transformation technique on him every day recently. This makes me feel very Weird, he said he wanted to be friends with me!”
Bai Yu took a breath of air.
be friends...
Naruto's transformation technique was inherited from him, and he transformed into the appearance of anime heroines, such as Miss Tifa and the like.
Ino reacted immediately, frowned, looked at Naruto with contempt, and said:
"I remember, Bai Yu, when you were still in Konoha Ninja School, you asked me to draw a lot of portraits of beautiful girls for you..."
Naruto received a look of disdain and lowered his head with an embarrassed smile.
Bai Yu coughed twice and said: "This is not the point. Ino, Naruto, you guys come with me to the Hokage Building!"
Before Naruto could react, Ino had already stood up, nodded seriously and prepared to follow Bai Yu.
"Wait, what happened?"
Naruto asked in surprise.
Bai Yu shook his head and said: "Let's talk about it on the way, there is an emergency."
Since there are 20 White Zetsu sneaking into Konoha Village, this means that the 20 ninjas of Konoha Village who were originally replaced are now in danger.
Even if it wasn't for the 20 Konoha ninjas.
For the safety of Naruto, the nine-tailed man, Bai Yu must also solve the problem of potential safety hazards.
Naruto wanted to ask more questions, but found that he was the only one left in the flower shop.
Ino followed Bai Yu and left quickly.
Naruto had no choice but to drink the fragrant flower tea in the cup, then stood up and quickly followed him out.
…
…
Konoha, Iwagakure's residence, rooftop rooftop.
Ohnoki and Kurotsuchi were sitting in the open-air area looking up at the stars. They talked endlessly about what happened to them over the years.
"I really didn't expect that you have been lurking in Uchiha for so many years. That boy Bai Yu shouldn't have noticed you!"
Onoki was lost in thought.
He knew very well what Bai Yu was capable of. If Kurotsuchi sneaked into the Uchiha Ninja Village, it would be impossible to escape Bai Yu's keen observation.
There is absolutely no escape!
Kurotsuchi said awkwardly: "Grandpa, Bai Yu is very powerful, but you can't underestimate your granddaughter. Your granddaughter learned the camouflage technique in Iwagakure Village. How could it be so easy for Uchiha people to see it?"
"So, you really sneaked into the Uchiha Ninja Village as a refugee from the surrounding Ninja Village, took a refugee aid, and then went to Ninja School for free until you were about to graduate?"
Onoki raised his pale eyebrows and asked curiously, forcing an expression on his face that he was about to believe it.
"That's right, if you don't believe it, you can go check the situation with Bai Yu!
"Kurotsuchi was a little timid, but he soon gained courage and said:
"Originally, I planned to wait until graduation before returning to Iwagakure Village, but I heard in Uchiha Ninja Village that you had some health problems, so I... was discovered by Bai Yu when I left Uchiha Ninja Village."
Kurotsuchi is indeed receiving hardship subsidies in the Uchiha Ninja Village, and Uchiha also has such a rescue strategy.
But in addition, Kurotsuchi is also Bai Yu's personal maid. Just by virtue of this job, she has saved a lot of money.
This is her main source of income.
Of course, she wouldn't even tell her grandfather about this matter to death.
Onoki suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly:
"You don't have to worry about me. My body has always been very strong. It's not like you don't know that!"
With that said, Onoki jumped off the wicker chair that his subordinates had brought from nowhere. As soon as he landed, he heard a kacha sound coming from his waist, and his whole expression froze and suddenly turned to stone.
Kurotsuchi stood up quickly, helped Onoki to sit down again, and said worriedly: "Grandpa, after this incident is over, why don't you step down and let my father take the position of Tsuchikage?"
Onoki's pain dissipated, his brows furrowed, he looked at Kurotsuchi seriously, and hummed softly:
"This is not something you, Kurotsuchi, can say. When you were a child, you were always looking forward to my abdication, and then you would become the Tsuchikage!"
Actually.
Onoki only believed half of what Kurotsuchi said. If Bai Yu didn't know Kurotsuchi, Onoki would never believe it.
But as long as my granddaughter can come back safely.
Onoki had nothing to say.
Even if Bai Yu knew that Kurotsuchi was in the Uchiha Ninja Village and didn't tell him, Ohnoki would have no way to trouble him now.
Regardless of the fact that Bai Yu is now the backbone of the Ninja Alliance, this guy has not made things difficult for Kurotsuchi, who lives in the Uchiha Ninja Village.
After thinking about it, Ohnoki felt that he still had to thank Bai Yu for Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi stuck out his tongue playfully and chuckled: "People can change!"
Rather than being the Tsuchikage shouldering the burden of the entire Iwagakure Village, it would be better to live carefree in the Uchiha Ninja Village with her group of sisters.
Living in a seaside city with sunny weather and stable weather, every day is like a vacation.
As for the position of Tsuchikage, whoever you like can take it!
Onoki shook his head and said: "Your father is indeed excellent, but there is still a long way to go before becoming a Tsuchikage. Kurotsuchi, then why did you think of running out again after being escorted to Iwagakure by Bai Yu? "
Kurotsuchi hesitated and said: "Um...don't I want to go back to the Uchiha Ninja Village and graduate?"
Onoki sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, as long as you are fine!"
Ohnoki naturally knew what Kurotsuchi was thinking. Since she still wanted to return to the Uchiha Ninja Village after returning to Iwagakure, it meant that there was indeed something in the Uchiha Ninja Village that she liked.
In this case, Onoki just wanted to tie his granddaughter to him, but she would still leave him one day.
"Grandpa, are you promising me that you can let me return to the Uchiha Ninja Village?"
Kurotsuchi's eyes suddenly lit up, he threw himself on Ohnoki and hugged him tightly.
For the first time in so many years, she thanked her always serious grandfather from the bottom of her heart.
Onoki was so hugged by Kurotsuchi that he almost broke his bones again, and he quickly said: "Don't be too happy, there are conditions for letting you go back to the Uchiha Ninja Village!"
Black Earth Chicken nodded as if pecking rice, and asked quickly: "Tell me."
Onoki muttered: "When you graduate from Uchiha Ninja Village, you will immediately return to Iwagakure Village and come back to help me."
Kurotsuchi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Anyway, when he arrives at the Uchiha Ninja Village, he can ask Bai Yu for help and ask him to help him find excuses to deal with his grandfather.
Just let her go to the Uchiha Ninja Village.
There will be no way to deal with grandpa.
"Okay. I see you are happy." Onoki looked up at the night sky and smiled: "I must have learned a lot in the Uchiha Ninja Village. It just so happens that I will bring all these things back to Iwagakure when I come back."
Kurotsuchi suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, saying that she really didn't learn much in the Uchiha Ninja Village.
But now I can only bite the bullet and agree.
"Okay, that's all for tonight. Kurotsuchi, grandpa is really happy that you can come back." As Ohnoki spoke, he floated to his granddaughter's side, patted her on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Grandpa, I feel like I have something again. The motivation to live.”
Kurotsuchi smiled and said: "Even if I don't come back, I hope you can live forever."
Just when Onoki was about to say something.
The figures of Konoha Anbu appeared on the surrounding buildings. They appeared like ghosts, but in the blink of an eye they left an afterimage of the person who discovered them.
"Grandpa, what happened?"
Kurotsuchi asked curiously.
Onoki's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that Konoha has encountered some troubles, but we don't need to worry about it. Haha, let's go back and rest. After all these years, I can finally sleep peacefully."
…
…
Hokage Building.
office.
Jiraiya was sitting upright on the main seat in front, while Bai Yu sat opposite, Ino, Shikaku, and a confused Naruto stood in the back.
Jiraiya frowned and looked at the dark night sky from time to time. Seeing that the atmosphere in the office had cooled down, he took the initiative and said, "Master Bai Yu, you should go back and rest. Just leave this matter to us."
Bai Yu nodded, without saying any more, and stood up immediately, planning to take Ino and Naruto back.
He had already told Jiraiya everything about the White Zetsu list, including the reason for the incident.
As for the source of intelligence.
Bai Yu told a little lie, saying that it was the information he found while cleaning up Bai Jue's base, and that it had just been verified and the information was true.
After Jiraiya received this information, he did not have any doubts. He made a prompt decision and sent out ANBU ninjas to capture the White Zetsu who were disguised as their Konoha ninjas.
"Naruto, you don't have to go back. You can just live with me in the Hokage Building during this period."
Jiraiya also stood up. He originally planned to see Bai Yu off. When he came to Naruto, he reached out and patted Naruto on the shoulder and warned him.
Naruto suddenly cried and said helplessly: "Luxury Immortal, I finally met Bai Yu, can't you let me chat with him for a while?"
Jiraiya did not answer Naruto, but looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu smiled, turned to face Naruto, patted his other shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Naruto, listen to Jiraiya-sama, after these recent things are over, you can invite me to eat ramen."
Naruto nodded excitedly and said happily: "No problem, let's make an agreement first!"
When Jiraiya heard that Bai Yu asked Naruto to treat him to ramen, and Naruto was so happy, his face turned half black.
Normally, it would be almost impossible for him to ask Naruto to treat him. Of course, this was also because he often asked Naruto to treat him in the early years, which made Naruto resent him now.
"Okay, see you tomorrow then." Bai Yu smiled at Jiraiya, Naruto and others, and then left the office with Ino.
The two of them strolled down the street, taking their time and heading towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
"Bai Yu, I always have a bad feeling."
Ino followed Bai Yu, her expression gradually becoming serious.
Bai Yu looked back at Ino, who was half a head shorter than him, and asked, "Is it intuition?"
The secret skills practiced by the mountain clan are related to the soul. Although she does not have the ability to predict the future, as a girl and possessing strong spiritual power, her intuition must have reference value.
Seeing Bai Yu care so much about her thoughts, Ino felt warm in her heart. After squinting her eyes and smiling, she sighed softly: "It's my intuition about this matter. I always feel that it won't be solved so easily."
Bai Yu nodded, sighed, and reassured: "Don't worry too much. Today is Friday. Do you have time this weekend?"
Ino nodded and smiled: "Yes, because graduation is approaching and the previous period is too tight, so the Ninja School plans to give us two days off this weekend."
Bai Yu thought for a while and then said: "Just in time, two days are enough to go to Sunagakure to attend the funeral of Granny Chiyo. I can take you to Sunagakure."
Ino said weakly: "Is this really good?"
Bai Yu affirmed: "There is no problem."
His main purpose for doing this was to protect Ino. He could guess without thinking that when attending Chiyo's funeral this time, Jiraiya would definitely take Naruto with him.
But the top priority right now is to resolve the White Zetsu invasion of Konoha.
