The atmosphere in the cubicle suddenly became deathly silent, the charcoal fire in the grill crackled, and the barbecue on the iron grille was sizzling with oil and fragrant.
Shikamaru took a deep breath and looked at the fat pieces of meat being roasted on the grill in front of him, not knowing how to answer Bai Yu's question.
Including Ino, who had not cared much about this kind of thing before, his expressions became serious.
Seeing that the pieces of meat on the iron net were about to be grilled, Bai Yu quickly turned them over one after another, sprinkled them with seasonings, and divided them into Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji's bowls.
"Haha..." Shikamaru's emotions were mixed. He smiled bitterly for a moment and said incoherently: "Bai Yu... I..."
Bai Yu smiled slightly, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and responded: "This news is indeed cruel to you. After all, the best years of your life have not yet come, and you have to face the risk of losing everything."
Shikamaru lowered his head, just like Choji beside him, he suddenly faced this question and didn't know how to answer it.
But in his heart, he had already made countless responses, but he just didn't know how to speak and choose the one that best represented his style.
If the end of the ninja world really comes.
There is a high probability that he will lie down on the roof of his house, watching the sky collapse and the earth cracking. Anyway, there are always capable people in the ninja world who will worry about such things.
But Shikamaru really couldn't express his thoughts with an excuse like this, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Bai Yu seemed to see Shikamaru's predicament. He sighed and smiled: "Work hard, even if you can't help much, but before losing everything, if you fight for it, you can gain some peace of mind."
Shikamaru still lowered his head, as if he had compromised on something, and the light in his eyes gradually became dim.
Seeing that the barbecue was almost finished, Bai Yu was about to propose to pay the bill and ask Shikamaru Ino Choji and the others to meet their teacher Asuma.
Suddenly, the energy in his body suddenly became chaotic, and he felt completely powerless, with a double image appearing in front of his eyes, and the illusion that he was in a hallucination.
This is another round of jailbreak.
Bai Yu: "..."
Gan!
The chicken soup he just made was for Shikamaru, not for you. How can you work so hard if you are so excited?
"Bai Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Ino felt some slight changes in Bai Yu's face, and immediately asked worriedly.
Nowadays, Bai Yu's safety is almost linked to the safety of the ninja world. Once there is a problem, Ino knows very well that it will be equivalent to the sky falling in half.
Shikamaru and Choji also cast concerned glances.
Bai Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and used his various energies to calm down the abnormal changes in his body.
Then, he said in a deep voice:
"Let's go back, hehe, I need to work hard too."
The four of them did not stop.
Ino suddenly looked back, and she found that Choji, who was following Feng Juan Canun, ate the remaining barbecue in one go, and she was a little dazed.
She suddenly felt.
It's good to team up with a being like Dingci, at least there won't be any waste of food, and what Bai Yu hates most is the behavior of wasting food.
Leave the kebab shop.
The sky is blue.
The temperature is pleasant.
A cool breeze blew through the streets of Konoha, and the leaves of the lush trees rustled.
The president in front of them made it impossible for Shikamaru and the others to connect the doomsday of the ninja world that Bai Yu just said.
"Bai Yu, what are you going to do next?" Ino suddenly looked confused after asking, and quickly shook his head: "If it involves secrets, you don't need to tell me, I will wait for you with peace of mind, and now I am also a true Ninja, we might meet on a mission."
Ino imitated Shikamaru's previous words and said with a forced smile on her face. She was trying her best to adjust her emotions.
Bai Yu smiled and said: "I have things I want to work hard on, and of course they are all in order to face the end of the ninja world. When I am free, I will come back to see you."
】
Ino nodded obediently.
Bai Yu calmed down his strange state, glanced at the three of them calmly, and then smiled:
"That's it. Your leading Jonin teacher, Asuma, is waiting for you at the Hokage Building."
The four of them separated.
Ino reluctantly left, and before leaving with Shikamaru and Choji, she looked back from time to time to where Bai Yu had just been.
Bai Yu did not leave immediately. He stood on the spot and used various energies to suppress the moves in his body several times before planning to use the Flying Thunder God to return to the Tower of the Kingdom of Rain.
But at this moment.
Fei Duan, an energy body that only Bai Yu could see, came to him in a blink of an eye. After casually saying hello, he quickly said in a low voice:
"Bai Yu, there's something wrong with the Hokage building!"
After Bai Yu came to Konoha.
Hidan got a short period of free time. He took advantage of this time to wander around Konoha and kill time. Just when he went to Shadow Rock to sit for a while, he discovered something was wrong with the Hokage Building.
Bai Yu's expression condensed, and he didn't ask any questions. He immediately calmed down his fluctuating energy, and without thinking much, he jumped towards the Hokage Building.
His speed was much faster than Ino and the others. In the blink of an eye, he jumped past the three of Ino and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with the Hokage Building. You guys wait for me here and don't wander around."
Finished.
Bai Yu looked at the Hidan energy body following him and said in a deep voice:
"Protect Ino!"
Hidan nodded fiercely and stopped walking.
Since the red moon came, Bai Yu was not affected by the red moon and was not attacked by the trees that invaded the ninja world. His original awe of Bai Yu turned into inexplicable fear.
But he can work under Bai Yu.
Hidan could clearly feel that his vanity was more satisfied than when he was in the Akatsuki organization.
He couldn't explain this feeling clearly.
It didn't take long.
Bai Yu arrived at the Hokage Building under the solemn Muying Rock, and immediately turned on his perception, reflecting the three-dimensional structure inside and outside in his mind.
underground.
Outside the brightly lit library lay several ninja corpses with bleeding throats. In addition to fatal injuries, each person's heart was penetrated by sharp wooden stakes produced by the wood release. There was no possibility of survival.
Indoors, in a small space of only more than 20 square meters, a tall and strange figure and a man wearing a mask stood in front of the only scroll rack in the space, staring at the scrolls wrapped with complex seal patterns.
The man wearing the mask did not reach out to those scrolls, but used his ability to distort space to twist and disappear a certain scroll.
"I sense Bai Yu's breath!"
The tall and strange figure suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling, his dark eyes seemed to penetrate the building. He was just a dark red short-haired boy standing outside the Hokage Building.
The man wearing the mask did not speak, his whole body trembled slightly, as if he thought of something terrible, and directly distorted the space around him, causing the two people to disappear in place.
boom--
The door of the library was kicked open from the inside out. Konoha Anbu arrived belatedly and watched helplessly as the two figures disappeared out of thin air.
The ANBU held ninja swords in their hands and breathed heavily. They looked around at the guard ninjas lying down around them, feeling helpless.
Above the Hokage Building.
Lu Jiu, who was not in the office, was rushing back. After seeing Bai Yu standing on the roof, he immediately changed direction, came to the young man, and asked eagerly:
"grown ups……"
Bai Yu raised his hand to interrupt Lu Jiu and said helplessly:
"The masked man and Zetsu who defected from the Akatsuki organization invaded the place where you placed the scrolls. Go and check to see if anything is missing. Sorry, I have no way to stop the masked man's time and space technique for the time being."
Shikaku shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize."
Bai Yu was able to come as soon as possible when something happened here, which already gave them Konoha a lot of face.
If those two traitorous ninjas still stay in Konoha, Shikaku doesn't have to guess, Bai Yu will definitely take action.
moment.
After leaving, Lu Jiu figured out what happened in the library and chose to tell Bai Yu the news.
The top of the Hokage Building.
Lu Jiu respectfully told Bai Yu the only missing scroll.
"Scroll of Reincarnation in the Dirty Land..."
Bai Yu fell into thoughts.
Shikaku lamented:
"This was originally a forbidden technique that belonged to the Hokage for safekeeping...but you also know the current situation of Konoha."
He only said this when Bai Yu was once a part of Konoha.
If in front of outsiders.
There was no need for Shikaku to complain. When Uchiha left Konoha, Ino Shikaku and Ino Shikaku were also on Bai Yu's side.
Bai Yu nodded and said in a deep voice:
"They are brewing a big conspiracy. Although I don't know who they want to resurrect, there are probably only a few people in the ninja world who can resurrect ninjas of their level."
Lu Jiu: "..."
He seemed to be able to see the scene of demons dancing wildly in the ninja world not long after.
Reincarnation from dirty soil...
Although he has never seen the horror of this technique, he also knows that this is a forbidden technique that even Lord Orochimaru in the Ninja Village coveted!
"I will let people figure this out and try to stop the masked man and Zetsu's plans. You guys handle the next thing and wait for Jiraiya and the others to come back."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he noticed that there was instability in his body again. He suddenly thought of something and immediately added:
"Let the Barrier Department spend some time to upgrade Konoha's barrier. Oh, by the way, tell Asuma to go find his students near the BBQ restaurant."
Shikaku immediately felt ashamed and nodded quickly, taking these two things to heart.
The ninja world is about to face an unknown disaster.
You really have to make all the preparations you should make, otherwise when the disaster strikes, if you think about these things again, you won't have as much time as you do now.
Just when Shikaku was thinking about how to specify the plan.
Bai Yu had disappeared and returned to Ino and the other three. He sighed softly: "The Hokage Building is temporarily unsafe. Just wait for Asuma to come near the barbecue restaurant."
Ino originally wanted to ask what happened.
But this matter involved the Hokage Building in their Ninja Village, so it must be considered a secret. After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.
Shikamaru looked up in the direction of the Hokage Building and saw countless Anbu figures flickering and jumping on the top of the building, heading towards the building.
He whispered in a deep voice:
"Is this about to start?"
The arrival of the red moon and the invasion of trees were already signs of the end of the ninja world...
The ninja world in the future.
Is it going to be more and more chaotic like it is now, even in Konoha, not to mention other areas.
"I can't be by your side to protect you all the time."
Bai Yu looked at Ino and sighed helplessly:
"I don't think you want to be protected by me like a little bird. Use the little time left to practice hard and strive to contribute to this world before the end!"
Ino and others nodded one after another.
"Then, see you next time." Bai Yu looked at everyone with bitter expressions and joked: "Let's all be happy. Even if the end of the world comes, we will face it together. Let's just do our best!"
After saying that, he disappeared, gathered his breath, and appeared at the corner of a building.
Hidan's energy body followed him knowingly.
When Bai Yu summoned Kakuzu, who was on vacation before, the slight imbalance in Hidan's heart immediately disappeared.
Kakuzu looked around, and after seeing the obvious Konoha buildings around him, he knew his next mission.
However, he had not seen Bai Yu for a long time. At this time, he could clearly feel unusual energy fluctuations from Bai Yu.
Bai Yuyan said concisely: "Protect Ino and her friends."
Kakuzu did not bargain this time and nodded quickly, standing respectfully with Hidan.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he disappeared.
street corner.
Hidan looked at Kakuzu next to him and sneered: "Ha...this time, why don't you mention this mission to him and then relax and unwind?"
Kakuzu ignored his old partner's teasing and said in a low voice, "Can't you detect Bai Yu's aura?"
Hidan smiled, shrugged, turned and walked towards the area where Ino and the others were.
Bai Yu's current aura...
He understands so well.
As a former cultist of the evil god, he could clearly feel that there seemed to be two different forces in Bai Yu's body that were intertwining and merging.
Specifically what will happen in the future.
Hidan is also unknown.
Kakuzu did not hesitate and quickly followed Hidan's pace. After a while, the two of them saw a Konoha Jonin with a beard meeting the three of Ino with a little embarrassment.
Kakuzu and Hidan knew that their next protection had to be at a certain distance, otherwise they would be easily discovered by the bearded Jonin.
The land of rain.
Yuyin Village.
In the dark room of the high tower, Bai Yu's figure appeared out of thin air in front of Nagato's machine chair. He sat down naturally and suddenly felt that the arrangement he had just made was indeed quite interesting.
In the original work, Hidan and Kakuzu were the master-killing enemies of Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji. Now, after the two of them turned into energy bodies, they were actually arranged by themselves to protect them.
"Heh...it's quite interesting."
Bai Yu couldn't help but smile, then looked at Nagato who was sleeping, and said in a deep voice:
"There's bad news."
Nagato slowly opened his Samsara Eyes, looking extremely tired, and responded softly:
"You're back. What's the news?"
Nagato regained his energy a little.
The bad news that Bai Yu can talk about is mostly related to Otsutsuki.
Bai Yu said: "Fake Madara and Zetsu sneaked into the Konoha Hokage Building today and stole the Jutsu of Reincarnation."
Nagato immediately thought of a possibility, frowned, lowered his voice, and sighed helplessly:
"They... also started to take action."
