Late at night,
The children had already fallen asleep quietly,
And the adults' fun had just begun.
It was still Qimu's old house,
In the backyard, under the courtyard wall,
In the bushes.
Mr. Oily Woman with black sunglasses had just avoided the patrolling dark unit,
He climbed over the wall,
And saw Bo Fung Watergate already squatting there. His Naruto was wearing a dark unit uniform,
Hugging his knees,
He smiled like a fool. This kind of smile was really reassuring, even if it was just an excellent performance to appease people.
"Zhiwei, you're late." Bo Fung Watergate continued to smile,
"I thought you would come during the last patrol break."
Youjiwei sighed secretly, the small sunglasses on his nose glowing with a deep frosted light, "First of all, Naruto should be sleeping in his bedroom at this time."
"To answer your question, first of all,
Naruto's shadow is indeed sleeping in his bed. "Watergate was still smiling," You're really cautious, this is Qimu's old house. "
"Konoha has been leaking through the security system like a sieve." Aburame Zhi wrinkled his mustache, "It's better to be cautious. Secondly, this subordinate doesn't remember having an appointment with you, Fourth Generation Head."
"Hey, I just treated you to lunch." Watergate frowned.
"A cafeteria meal." Zhiwei couldn't remember,
When did he, who was used to being silent, become used to bickering with Bo Fung Watergate.
"That's also my bill."
"…"
"Why aren't you talking?
Are you in the wrong? "Watergate laughed again.
"No." Zhiwei really wanted to say a few more witty words to cooperate with his boss's little hobby,
Just like the "treat me to lunch" in the morning or the "work meal" just now,
He had to reassure Naruto that even if the two of them hadn't worked together for a long time, he was still a loyal subordinate, but he couldn't say anything, "This subordinate is just waiting for the new order."
"A new order, huh?" Watergate suddenly turned on the flashlight he had been holding under his chin.
Of course, Zhiwei wasn't scared. He had always been calm about Bo Fung Watergate's tricks of pretending to be young as he got older. He was even calmer than Naruto's cold jokes. At the very least, a casual joke could prove that there was no grudge between them. Even if it was just a deliberate act, it was still a clear indication of Naruto's attitude.
"You're not fun at all." Watergate was a little disappointed. Sure enough, not all the silent frozen faces could evolve into a chatterbox under the attack of cold jokes. "Forget it, I don't want to play with you anymore. Hurry up and give me an insect. It won't be long before the Dark Group patrols come again."
Zhiwei shook his hand, and a black dot the size of a grain of rice jumped onto the back of Watergate's hand.
Watergate stuffed the flashlight into Zhiwei's hand, then nodded with satisfaction and picked up the pen, "I knew it was the right choice to ask you for this kind of thing."
Zhiwei still didn't say anything. He held the flashlight and continued to silently control the scattered insects around. He wasn't a super expert like the guards who might need Naruto to save them if they were in danger. A guard's dictionary shouldn't have such a thing as probability. Especially, since Naruto was born, Bo Fung Watergate had only asked him for help in private three times. The first time was when Konoha negotiated with Danzō in 50 years. The second time was when Konoha negotiated with Orochimaru in 51 years. The third time was when Konoha supported the new king to the throne in 54 years.
Hopefully, it would be easier this time.
Zhiwei looked at Bo Fung Watergate, who was squinting his eyes and drawing the Thor Seal on the insects. The old flashlight's yellowish light shone on the side of his face, making the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows even more obvious. Zhiwei also touched the wrinkles on his face. He could only admit that not all old men could be like Bo Fung Watergate, who could even grow wrinkles just right. However, the curve of Watergate's mouth didn't change. As usual, he looked ugly and tired in the flickering light. This made Zhiwei's thoughts suddenly drift back to the past.
Everyone said that Youjiwei was always alone, and that it was enough for him to have his insect comrades. But that was just a mission, such as reconnaissance, assassination, and poisoning. It was definitely not a war. No independent individual could not be without comrades in war. Therefore, Youjiwei really did work with Golden Flash for a long time in the days of war. Although few people knew about it.
As for why?
Since he chose to build a village, he couldn't be afraid of war. Since he accepted the National War Mission, there could only be one Ninja Village in the entire Land of Fire called Konoha. So, those small Ninja Villages and Ninja Clans that didn't rely on Konoha should all disappear. But the problem was that Konoha's battle line was too long at that time, and they couldn't find too many trustworthy and tight-lipped people. So, how could they use the least amount of manpower to kill someone's entire family as quickly as possible? Konoha didn't want to leave too much hatred for their future generations.
So, Bo Fung Watergate could only sit in the wilderness outside the village in the middle of the night, facing the insects on the ground and drawing them one by one all night long. Then, during the day, these insects would silently crawl into people's homes, including babies, and Golden Flash would create a bunch of Thor shadows, and all of them would hit the heart, neck, and temple. After that, they would either die or be injured. The ones who died were dead, and the ones who didn't die would be finished off by Buggy with another big killing weapon of the team. Akimichi Chouza, the world's most agile fatty, would finish the job with a speed that was completely inconsistent with his body size, and then carry the golden retriever who was already exhausted to the point of being paralyzed like a dead dog and run back. But Dingzhuo usually walked slowly, and Zhiwei certainly didn't object. Because returning to Konoha meant that there would be a new mission immediately.
"Zhiwei, Zhiwei, Zhiwei, give me another insect."
Watergate's voice interrupted Youjiwei's memories. "How many do you want to draw?"
"No, the last one failed." Watergate threw down the insect and put down the brush. "My eyes are a little dry."
Zhiwei looked at Bo Fung Watergate, who kept rubbing his eyes, and thought about the young captain who led them across the world. He only felt that time was merciless, and his tone was a little persuasive. "Go back and get a pair of glasses. You do desk work every day, it's normal for your eyesight to deteriorate."
"Yes, Shikaku also told me to get a pair, but I didn't have the time." Watergate picked another insect, pulled himself together, and started drawing again. But soon, the insect's thin back was scratched again.
Youjiwei looked at Watergate, who was obviously irritable, and handed him another one. "Try a bigger one. You haven't done this kind of work for 20 years, it's normal that you're not familiar with it. Didn't you hurt my little cutie a lot in the beginning?"
"You talk too much when you talk about your little cutie." Watergate took the brush and pointed at the knuckle-long cockroach in Youjiwei's hand.
"It's done, but this is just a little bigger."
The oil lady knocked on the cement block on the brick wall. "It's obvious that Kakashi put it on himself. There's not enough sand in the cement, and the workmanship is rough. It's going to collapse sooner or later."
"Then it'll have to wait until it collapses." Watergate sighed, but his hands didn't hold back and directly pried a gap in the cement block. "Can it pass like this?"
"Don't underestimate insects." The oil lady put the cockroach on. "Just wait."
A few minutes later, as expected, Youjiwei grabbed Bo Fung Watergate's arm. "Okay, we can go to Thor now."
"Why wouldn't I bring you in? I'm still hoping that you can see the White Fang." Watergate pursed his lips. "Then I can prove to Konoha Hospital that I'm not mentally ill."
"I'm willing to testify for you." Zhiwei tightened his grip.
Watergate could only shake his head and make a hand seal. In an instant, they were standing between the pine screen and the plum screen.
"Sorry." Watergate moved his foot away first. There was a large cockroach under his foot. "I forgot about it."
"Forget it, your subordinate forgot to remind you. After all, it's been 20 years." Zhiwei put away the shriveled cockroach carcass and shone the flashlight around. In this almost square room, the white ceiling lamp had long been shattered. The warm table and the stove in the middle were completely gone. Even the gemstones on the Thousand Gully Pine Breeze Painting behind them had dimmed. However, the blood splattered on the Plum Blossom Door when White Fang died was still as dark as ever. This made Youjiwei, who had seen how warm this place was, feel dejected.
However, Watergate didn't seem to care about this. He went straight to Kakashi's small chest of drawers. "It's here."
Zhiwei glanced at it. As Konoha's Omnipotent Patch's teammate, he actually watched Kakashi grow up with his own eyes. "Forget it, that's the kid's only hobby."
"He's always reading unhealthy novels. How can he settle down and get into a serious relationship and find a wife?" Watergate closed the drawer and waved his hand to fan the dust. "Real love and marriage are completely different from novels. He shouldn't always have fantasies."
"Not necessarily. Dreams are still necessary. What if they come true? Aren't you the same? " Zhiwei wasn't as relaxed as he made it sound because he had already felt a gust of cold wind. Whether it was the Zerg or his experience, both told him that the chill came from the last bedroom.
"My wish has never come true." Watergate still didn't seem to care. He opened the plum blossom painting like he was opening the door of his own home. "Hi, hi, sorry to disturb you. I'm Watergate. White Fang senpai, are you there?"
…
"Zhiwei." Watergate turned around. "He does seem to be here."
"Is that so?" Zhi Aburame took a small step forward and stood in front of Minato. He could feel his muscles tensing up like iron in the snow.
"Can't you see?" Watergate tried to push Zhiwei away but failed.
"I only see air." Zhiwei stood still. He saw a pair of footprints surrounded by Zerg on the wrinkled and dirty white cloth on the ground. "But Captain Watergate, what did you see?"
"White Fang senpai was standing there." Watergate pointed. "When he committed suicide, he was covered in blood and expressionless. He seemed to be saying, 'Watergate, I'm entrusting Kakashi to you. I'm grateful for everything else, but he's 30 years old and still unmarried. I'm worried about him."
Zhiwei's hair stood on end, but he was more clear-headed. "Then did you seem to have heard it, or did you really hear it?"
"I don't know." Watergate shrugged. "But from the looks of it, you must have found something. The Zerg didn't crawl on his body. So, there must be something there."
"Yes." Zhiwei had to admit.
"Is that a ghost?" Watergate smiled.
"I don't know." Zhiwei couldn't help but step forward and punch the air. Naturally, he didn't hit anything. "But my Chakra seems to have felt something."
"Well, it dissipated. It's like this every time. It's gone as soon as I touch it." Watergate seemed a little regretful. "Anyway, this thing does exist, right? Because only I saw it before, they said that my illness was an illusion. Plus, I've been busy all these years, so there's no harm in being too busy. So, I just ignored them. But this time, even you saw that there was indeed something there. "
"…" Zhiwei really didn't know how to answer. However, he seemed to have heard Watergate use the pronoun 'they'. "What else have you seen? Let's talk about it together."
"First, it was Kina. Then, there were those I didn't know. Recently, there's Danzō and Orochimaru. Anyway, they're all dead people." Watergate sighed. "Don't talk to me about illusions. You know very well that this is not an illusion. Illusions can only affect human thinking. And your Zerg is very lucky that it doesn't have an advanced organ like a brain."
Zhiwei looked at the Zerg that had crawled all over the floor and sighed. "Since it's suspected to be a ghost, shouldn't we find a psychic medium to take a look?"
"That's a good idea." Watergate nodded, then pulled Zhiwei out of the bedroom. "Is the door closed? It's done. Then let's go. "
The Land of Fire, Konoha's Consolation Monument, Konoha School, Bo Fung Mansion, Bo Fung Watergate pulled Youjiwei over one by one. Unfortunately, he didn't see Kina Maelstrom even after turning over Bo Fung Mansion.
And Youjiwei felt that his worldview was refreshed. Even Zerg has a soul, let alone humans? Otherwise, what were the walking dead that came out of the Edo Tensei? But the people from the Edo Tensei never told the person who summoned them what it was like after death. So, there was no life after death at all, or they had to forget it when they returned. Then, was there really a hell? Was there really a heaven? Where did all the innocent and kind people they killed go? Where did the cruel and evil people they killed go? And what about the ninjas themselves? Would they really linger in the mortal world and never sleep?
"Watergate, why didn't you call me earlier." Zhiwei complained.
"What's the use of calling you earlier, you're in Konoha every day." Watergate kept wiping Kina's photo, "Didn't you see when I offered incense to Oamaru Shiguro at the Consolation Monument just now? Every time, it was fleeting, and even my Kina suddenly appeared, she didn't care how many times I called her."
"…" Zhiwei looked at Bo Fung Watergate, whose hands were trembling while wiping the photo, and began to worry, "Why don't you go back to sleep first, it's already past 2 o 'clock, we can talk about it in the morning."
"…"
"Go back to sleep!" Zhiwei became serious, "Don't think too much, you like to think too much, after becoming Naruto, you're very paranoid. Why do you always like to keep your thoughts and difficulties in your heart! If you don't say anything, how will others know? "
"I've said many times that I've seen Kina."
Zhiwei was a little speechless. Bo Fung Watergate did say that he saw his wife's ghost not long after Kina Maelstrom's death, but at that time, Watergate's mental state was really bad. He worked like a madman and didn't care about his health at all, and Kakashi once found him stabbing his thigh with a knife … Even a doctor would suspect that he was hallucinating. Wait a minute, "Watergate, don't tell me you've been taking psychotropic drugs for 14 years!"
"Do I look like an idiot?" Watergate finally put down the rag, "But when I'm too sad, I'll take them, of course, not too much at such times."
"…" Youjiwei expressed that he was even more worried.
"I promise, in fact, my mind is very clear, you don't have to worry about me at all." Watergate sighed, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. I originally wanted to talk to you about something serious after confiscating Kakashi's porn. But now that these accidents have happened, I don't think you'll believe me no matter what I say. "
"…" Zhiwei looked at Watergate's clear eyes when he spoke, and suddenly realized that perhaps there was nothing wrong with this person's mental state. It's just that he was used to this special position in Naruto. "Bo Fung Watergate."
"Hmm?"
"I'm not the head of the Aburame family, we don't have so many people that we need a head. I've never been the head of a department in Konoha, and I'm basically a loner, so I don't have a large number of friends and subordinates to take care of. " Zhiwei gritted his teeth, "You don't have to treat me like you treat Uchiha, Hinata, Yamanaka, Nara, and other important people. I believe you trust me. I also believe you. Even if you want me to become a dead person to keep the secret, I'll be easy to kill, so don't try to be mysterious in front of me! "
"But I'm also very surprised today." Watergate paused, he looked at Youjiwei, who rarely showed any expression, and smiled bitterly, "You always say that I'm paranoid and like to think too much, but it's clearly you who think too much."
"But you're the one who's getting more and more difficult to understand – what are you trying to do?"
"No, why can't I understand?" Watergate felt himself becoming irritable again, he hated to think for his subordinates, really, "When I asked you out today, I used Kakashi as an excuse, you see?"
"Yes."
"Why do I need an excuse to ask you out?"
"You don't want others to know your true purpose." Zhiwei seemed to understand something, "What happened?"
"Uchiha Fugaku didn't die from drinking, he drank the tea that Kakashi gave me, and I gave him." Watergate said word by word.
"There's a traitor around you?!" Zhiwei was really shocked, he felt even colder than when he saw White Fang, "Who is it?"
"If I knew who it was, why would I cover up Fugaku's cause of death, and why would I ask you to come back so sneakily?" Watergate sighed and lifted the floorboard, "Also, some time ago, mold inexplicably grew in Bo Feng's house, causing me to be sick with pneumonia for several months – I thought it was Orochimaru who put it there. Although it's not like his style to harm people, he is indeed the only outsider who can enter my bedroom."
Watergate put down the floorboard and continued, "Also, remember the strange kissing doll that the Council of Elders insisted on using at the group wedding, there was an explosion talisman and poison in it – I thought it was a gift from Danzō, although if he really left a gift for me, it wouldn't be so simple, but you believe that he's capable of anything. Also, before signing the contract with the Land of the Wind, the Sandaime-sama released an unreported carrier pigeon, and the king of the Land of the Wind sent me a pigeon skeleton. At that time, in order to cooperate with the Sand Village, I took it as a joke, but later my spy told me that he did receive a very bewitching letter, but the fat man was afraid of death and didn't even dare to read it before burning it with the pigeon – I always thought that the Sandaime-sama wanted to stop the cooperation between Konoha and the Sand Village, because Orochimaru was covetous at that time, and it was indeed too risky. But a few days ago, I met the Sandaime-sama at the Memorial Tablet, and he said that he was reporting the death of a distant friend for Danzō, who used to be a Konoha Ninjas, but later stopped being one, so he didn't tell the truth at that time, do you understand? There are a total of four stories of Konoha's magic, and the same boring and childish tricks, it's too much like the same group of people. "
"Do you think it's the work of a vengeful spirit?" Zhiwei blinked.
"Are you joking?" Watergate also blinked.
If you understand too much, you will understand even less.
