November 18, 61 Konoha
Fire Country Border Station
Genin Dormitory
It was already a long time into the night,
On the open sea,
The moon was very bright,
It was as bright as Naruto Uzumaki's eyes, faintly reflecting a faint blue light. The light occasionally shone on the white wall,
Reflecting the mottled cobwebs,
Sometimes skipping over the high ceiling,
Stopping on a horseshoe lampshade. This turned off electric lamp was gently trembling in the sea breeze,
Responding to the rhythm of the "Woo Woo" waves,
As gloomy and cold as a black hole.
This made Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but think of the earliest memory in his life. That was the first time in his life that he realized the difference between night and day. The wallpaper that should have been brightly colored was so vast that he couldn't see the border. The lively and cute Anbu in black seemed to be only left with a ferocious animal mask.
Even the wind chime that hung at the head of the bed and would spin in circles to sing to him was like a ghost baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Naruto had tried to overcome his fear alone like a hero in a bedtime story, but all that came out of his mouth was a "Ya Ya" cry. Naruto also hoped that his father, who had heard his cry, would come to his side in the next second, but in the end, he only waited for Kakashi with a cold frown.
He picked him up from the small bed without any gentleness.
At that time, Kakashi wasn't as obsessive-compulsive as he was now, where he didn't even take off his mask when he slept. Naruto could clearly see Kakashi with a sleepy expression open his mouth when he yawned. Thus, he simply kicked away the small quilt on his body, looked up to the sky, and roared. His strong chest was fierce, he straightened his small bird and peed.
Ah,
The spring-like water column brought the temperature of the human body and the smell of dinner to the crisscrossed red nest … Hmm,
Naruto Uzumaki was always proud of his accuracy!
After thinking like this,
Our Young Master Naruto's mood finally improved.
His spirits were also inexplicably lifted. Then, he jumped up from his bed like a carp and opened the door. He resisted the urge to knock on the door next door and wake Sasuke up. He valiantly rushed out of the tunnel-like corridor, passed through the training ground surrounded by barbed wire, and arrived at the only toilet in the military base at the borders. In the end, he did not step in.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of going to the bathroom alone in the middle of the night. Besides, didn't he just say that? Hmm, in his mind, the fear of the dark had long been equated with Kakashi's unlucky appearance when he couldn't keep his mouth shut!
However, who asked this place to be without electricity for 9 out of 10 days! Who told this place to be on a cliff where the sewers couldn't be dug? Also, who was the one who came up with the idea of hanging the damn toilet above the sea? Just because there's a gap between a few planks of a canopy, it's a toilet? He had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation. He did not want to miss a step and fall into the sea to feed the sharks! His father was still waiting for him to carry on the family line!
"Hua hua hua."
Young Master Naruto, who had finally resolved his bed-wetting crisis, shook his body and pulled up his belt. He glanced at the wooden posts nailed to the barbed wire and saw that there was no evil intention to pour water on any ant holes. Then, he calmly stomped his feet and ran away.
Therefore, Naruto Uzumaki did not think that there would be a watchtower in the military base. Of course, he also did not see the two, four … eight eyes on the watchtower.
"Xiu xiu xiu."
A green vine silently retreated to the source of the gaze like a water snake. There was a small green ball at the tip of the vine. After a few seconds, it reached the other end of the vine and landed in Yamato's hand. Yamato took off the small ball and stuffed it into a milky white square machine. With a "ka ka" sound, a crack appeared at the bottom of the machine and a photo was spat out. The photo was of Naruto. It was only a photo of his back, but Naruto's legs were long and his body was short, making him look very majestic. What was even more ingenious was that the slightly exposed white buttocks could prove that he did not do anything good, and it was just nice that his body was not exposed.
"He's really spoiled." Jiraiya took the photo and rubbed the white part with his thumb.
"Uh, it's okay. Anyone who sees a toilet like this for the first time would have to consider what would happen if they fell down. " Sagittarius looked at Yamato who had a pleading look on his face and tried to take the photo from Jiraiya's hand. "Also, being cautious is a good habit for a teenager, isn't it, Khai?"
"That's right, that's right, Chūdō -sama. When one's youth is restless, when one's blood is boiling … "Metke saw the hint in his superior's eyes and immediately went to take the photo. Of course, like Dingzhuo, he returned empty-handed. But who was Khai?" Jiraiya -sama, after you're done looking at the photo, please return it to Yamato. That kid is very honest, please don't tease him. "
Jiraiya rolled his eyes at the slightly embarrassed Dingzhuo and placed the photo on the red-faced Yamato's forehead. Then, he watched the honest ninja quickly paste the photo, write a report, stuff it into a file, and even put a seal on it. After signing it, he clapped his hands and called for the Black Ops to send it out as if it was some kind of important secret. Jiraiya's lips trembled. "You guys can continue to spoil him. Sooner or later, something will happen."
This time, Six-eyes understood what was going on. When Khai saw Dingzhuo's eyes, he laughed and probed, "Oh, Jiraiya -sama is still thinking about Naruto. Even I, a fearless young beast, only put down the tree stump when I saw Chūdō -sama's weight not breaking the wooden plank. Hahaha, this kid is just taking advantage of the fact that no one is around. Do you think he'll be so spoiled that he'll sneak into the women's bathhouse when no one is around? Hahaha."
"… Haha, my ass!" Jiraiya ignored the words "women's bathhouse" and knocked Khai's head. "Are you blind? I'm not talking about Naruto. Our Naruto is sensible, hardworking, and obedient. I'm talking about Naruto's bastard father! Heh, just to catch a glimpse of his son, he ordered his elite Jonins to secretly take photos of him every day. He even took advantage of our intelligence resources to send them out urgently. What kind of behavior is this? A classic example of using public resources for private purposes! Hmph, what an impressive Naruto! "
And so, Six-eyes quietly lowered his head and counted his toes. Just like how the Four Generations scolded Kakashi, Jiraiya scolded the Four Generations. This was a master scolding his disciple, and they didn't care.
"And you guys." Jiraiya walked in small circles on the floor of the sentry tower. "Don't you know that you're trying to seduce him? Back in the day, if anyone dared to do what you're doing now, they would've been tied up and tortured. You're Konoha's ninjas, not Bo Fung Watergate's retainers! "
"As subordinates, it's our duty to provide security and daily services for Naruto and his family. It's understandable that we take photos from time to time to prove our work progress. Jiraiya -sama, please conduct yourself with dignity. " Whether it was Jiraiya, Sagittarius, or Guy, they were all Yamato's seniors. There was no place for him to express his opinion, but Yamato really couldn't stand it when someone tarnished his idol-cum-superior's reputation in front of him, especially when it was the influential Sannin.
"…" Jiraiya looked at Yamato and frowned. Metke had already squatted down and was counting his toes again.
Sagittarius saw this and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Yamato used to be Naruto's guard, and when he returns to Konoha, he'll be the captain of the guard. Ah, speaking of which, Guy and I are done with the handover. All that's left is to announce it in the cafeteria tomorrow morning. After that, Yamato will return to Konoha with me. When does Jiraiya -sama plan to receive Naruto's team? "
"From now on, they're mine." Jiraiya grabbed Metke, who was still counting his toes, and threw him down. Then, with a kick of his legs, he jumped down from the sentry tower.
Sagittarius looked at Guy and Jiraiya, who were pulling and pulling at each other. He looked at Yamato, who was still like a nail, and then looked up at the moon. He reached out his big hand and patted the back of Yamato's head. "Young man, accompany me for a walk around my base. I've watched this place grow from a few tents to a large base, and for the past seven to eight years, I've been here for eight to ten months every year. To be honest, the seaside is far worse than Konoha. My family and friends aren't here, and the long nights are boring. But I'm a little reluctant to be transferred back so suddenly. "
Yamato rubbed the back of his head. It seemed to be a little swollen. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But from Dingzhuo's point of view, this young man who was scratching his head while giggling was actually quite simple and honest. Yes, he was just like him when he was younger. "Let's go. I'll treat you to supper. Fresh braised shark and octopus tentacles as big as a human leg. Once you're full, you can sleep until dawn. I guarantee that you won't have any worries. Trust me, many of your seniors have personally experienced this more than once."
Reality proved that Chūdō wasn't the only believer who believed that "a person's mood will be better when they're full".
Konoha 61 November 18th
Five minutes until the 19th
Qimu Mansion
In the kitchen
"It's probably because the treatment at Konoha Hospital is too effective. After my stomach stopped hurting, my appetite has been very good every day. It's fine if I go to bed early, but if I go to bed late, I won't be able to eat until the fourth meal. I think if I can maintain this good appetite, I'll probably be able to gain weight by next spring. "
"What do I want to eat? You want to make supper? Zhiwei, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. Don't tell me you've done something bad. "
"Nothing? Just waiting for me to eat because I'm bored? Then I'll fry meatballs. The meatballs you fried for Dingzhuo when we were out on a mission in the past were really delicious. What? Did I say that they weren't delicious? Aiya, back then, we didn't have enough supplies, so Dingzhuo relied on finding snacks to fill his stomach. How could I have the nerve to fight with him over the meatballs?
…
The above three paragraphs came from the leader of the Four Generations, Naruto and Bo Fung Watergate. Thus, Konoha's current security chief, Youjiwei, began to fry meatballs here.
He put on a pink and green floral apron and sleeves of the same style. First, he placed a few meat worms in a pot and pressed them down with a spatula to heat up the oil.
The hibernating snakes that had just been dug out of the ground were then beheaded, bled, dissected, skinned, and diced. Unable to find the dry military rations that had been steamed together with wheat husks, the whole-wheat bread was toasted and broken into pieces. Then, with some wine, the snake meat and the mixture were kneaded into a ball and placed into a pan of oil.
As for why he had to do it in Qimu Mansion's kitchen? Because he was called over by Naruto an hour ago. As for why he had to do it at this time, it was because Naruto said that tomorrow was the day after tomorrow. Since he wanted to talk to Senior White Fang, of course he had to choose the latter half of the night. He had never seen a ghost in the first half of the night.
In short, Youjiwei didn't really understand what Shikaku Nara had said to him. At the same time, he hadn't made any decision yet. But when he received the notice to bring someone over, the only psychic he could find was the one that Watergate had just taken away. Shikaku Nara was a smart person who always took three steps at a time. Zhiwei felt that the old guy with the ponytail had already calculated his reaction from the beginning. Anyway, Shikaku's suggestion wouldn't cause any irreversible harm to Watergate, so it was good to see how it worked first. "Hey, Captain Naruto over there, the meatballs are ready. Do you want to try the poison first?"
Uchiha Shisui nodded at the dining table, but didn't immediately put down the document in his hand. The current Black Ops Field Captain Uchiha Itachi was on a field trip. The current official Black Ops Minister Sagittarius was still on his way back. He was now challenging all the official documents of the entire Black Ops, from the task arrangement to the intelligence management to the financial cashier and collection. He wasn't tired, but he was really busy!
Youjiwei looked at the red-eyed guard captain and sighed. He took two toothpicks and brought the whole plate over.
Shisui quickly stood up and picked up a meatball with a toothpick. "Thank you for your hard work, senior. The taste is really good."
"I want you to try the poison."
Shisui didn't think that this senior, who was listed as second on Naruto's trustworthy list, would have any bad thoughts. He was more concerned. "I don't know how long Naruto -sama will perform the ritual on Senior White Fang. The hospital said that it's best not to eat cold food."
Zhiwei turned sideways to let Shisui see the sizzling snake blood in the pot. "If it's late, eat it."
At the same time.
Former Hatake White Fang's bedroom.
In the front hall.
In front of the sliding door of winter plum blossoms.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"You're awake." Bo Fung Watergate carefully put the collector's edition of "Intimate Paradise" in his hand back into the small chest of drawers. He reached out to the person sitting on the floor.
But that person didn't accept Naruto's kindness. Instead, she subconsciously took a step back and tightened her collar.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. I prefer my wife's fleshy body type. Besides, you're about the same age as my son." Watergate looked at the little person shivering on the floor and couldn't help but laugh. He stuffed the flashlight in his hand into the girl's hand. "I'm sorry to have frightened you. For some reason, I can't tell you who I am, nor can I tell you where this is. So, I used a little dirty trick on you. Don't worry, it's just some smoke. My men are very accurate with the measurement, so there won't be any sequelae. Of course, I'll send you back later with a little bit of smoke as usual. Tomorrow morning, you'll definitely wake up in your room as usual. The witch of the Land of Ghosts, Miss Ziyuan. "
"…" Ziyuan seemed to shiver when she heard her name. "You … know who I am."
"Ah, I'm asking you to do something." Watergate reached out his hand again. He was a little embarrassed to scare a fourteen-year-old girl like this. "I'm sorry, but I have my own difficulties. I'll make it up to you when I leave."
"…" Ziyuan was still shivering.
Watergate covered the girl with a thick blanket that fell on the floor.
The witch named Ziyuan seemed to have warmed up a little. She finally calmed down a little. She raised the flashlight slightly and asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Of course, I want a witch to catch a ghost." Watergate held a plastic bag in one hand, incense sticks and paper money on one side, and a few apples on the other. "I heard from my men that although you're still young, you're still very famous among psychics."
The witch, Ziyuan, also breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up with the help of the wall, shook her wide sleeves, raised her hand, and bowed. "The witch of the Land of Ghosts, Ziyuan, has been sealing demons for generations. Where is the demon now? Please tell me, I'll be very grateful."
"Uh." To be honest, our Hokage has never experienced such a situation before, so he unconsciously became serious and learned from her. "Miko-sama, the demon is just behind the door … Actually, it's not really a demon."
"Please lead the way."
"Oh, okay." Watergate turned around and pulled open the blood-stained silk door. The white cloth was spread all over the floor, the brown blood was still dry, the abdomen was wide open, and the intestines were all over the floor. Hatake Maoso, Konoha's White Fang, and Kakashi's father were still standing there, looking at him. Watergate sighed and scratched his head. "This is it."
But Ziyuan just carefully waved the flashlight around the room. "Someone died here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it was a suicide."
Ziyuan sniffed again. "It looks like it's been dead for a long time."
"It happened more than twenty years ago."
"You invited me here to expiate the soul?"
"You can expiate this guy?" Watergate raised his voice. "Can you really expiate this guy?"
"There are no demons here, so Ziyuan can't seal it. But someone died here, and there's death aura everywhere. " At this time, Ziyuan had returned to her usual state. The most important mission in her life was to seal demons, but people would always be born, grow old, get sick, and die. The Miko also knew how to expiate the soul. "I just heard you say that you invited me to catch the ghost. In fact, when I dispel the death aura, there will naturally be no more ghosts."
"Ah, then I'll have to trouble you." Watergate looked at Hatake Maoso, who was still unresponsive. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or excited. 'Let's go, let's go, let's go,' he thought. "But before I expiate the soul, can I have a few words with him?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Ahem, White Fang -sama, there's something you'll be very happy to know. Kakashi finally beat me a few days ago, and when he comes back from cultivation, he'll probably be even more powerful. There's one more thing I want to ask for your opinion. Kakashi is thirty years old. It's really time for him to get married. I have two girls for him now. One is Mitarashi Anko, and the other is Mute Kato. You know both of them. Which one do you think is better? When Kakashi comes back, I'll arrange a marriage for him. "
"…"
"…"
"What did he say? Anko or Mute? "Watergate looked at Ziyuan and pointed to White Fang over there.
Ziyuan looked in the direction of his finger, but there was nothing.
So, Watergate easily guessed the answer from the 14-year-old girl's face. "You didn't see him, did you?"
"See what?"
"It's said that you can see things that others can't." Watergate sighed.
"I can see things that others can't." Ziyuan raised the corner of her mouth and raised the flashlight to sweep the face of the man beside her. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and she couldn't tell his age. He was a little handsome, but still, he looked the same. "I can see that you're going to die!"
"…" Watergate blinked at the stubborn little girl. "Ah, I can also see that I'm going to die."
"I'm serious."
"I'm serious too. I can also see that you're going to die."
"You …"
Watergate couldn't help but rub the little girl's head. "Little girl, you have to know that people are born to die."
People are born to die.
