Ah Wu stood on the bank of the river, the afterglow of the setting sun stared at him, and he stared at the man in front of him.
Uchiha Itachi was wrapped in the uniform of Akatsuki, the brim of the bamboo hat on his head was pressed very low, blocking half of his face. Unlike the man in front of him who was smiling very indecently, his expression was very serious.
He finally caught up with him. Don't look at Skeleton's relaxed smile, in fact, he really ran like crazy to catch up with the person in front of him, and when he saw the other party, he deliberately adjusted his body and landed in front of Itachi in a handsome posture. This set of movements was quite handsome, but unfortunately, his wounds couldn't withstand such a torment, and his chest hurt a little.
He really didn't want to pretend, but when facing a strong enemy, momentum is really important. It was not that he was clinging onto her just because she was beautiful. After all, Skeleton had met this guy as soon as she came to this world. Then, she bumped into this guy again when she was just trying to get a free meal. If he did not understand God's hint, then his brain must have been filled with pineapple juice.
Most likely, it was like the last time when he met Ace, where he had to follow this guy to solve some problem before leaving. Ah Gu endured the pain and said calmly, "You might not believe me when I say this …"
Oh, it's not a possibility, it's not a belief at all!
Before Ah Wu's voice fell, he saw a very fast sharp weapon coming towards him. When it was about to pierce his face, Skeleton tilted his head to avoid it, and then he quickly turned around, and at the same time, he took out the dagger that he got from Ace, just in case, and blocked the Kunai that almost cut his neck.
The other party's movements were fast, and the momentum was very fast, but Skeleton couldn't be defeated in two or three moves. After a round of fighting with the other party, he slightly retreated, trying to open a little distance, and then decisively raised his hands to show the other party that he had no intention of fighting. However, he still held the dagger tightly, and the red numbers in his eyes were flashing, showing that he was not that easy to bully.
The beauty actually stopped, and his black pupils turned blood red, and there were strange patterns in them. He looked at Skeleton with those eyes for a moment, and then asked sternly: "You don't have Chakra?"
Chakra? There it was, a special noun!
Ah Wu shook his head obediently. He had a feeling that they could solve the problem through dialogue.
The beauty looked at him for a moment and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
"You may not believe it," Mr. Rokudo was a stubborn person, and he insisted on continuing his initial opening statement. "I'm actually not from this world …"
This was the correct way to explain things.
The beauty's face was expressionless, but she didn't rush forward like before. Instead, she looked at the skeleton with a pair of strange and sharp eyes, silently allowing him to continue.
"I was originally living well in my own world, but then I suddenly appeared here. There was a voice in the unseen world that told me to help the man in front of you and complete the task together, so that you can return to your original world." Ah Gu explained, half true and half false.
"Well, that's it. It's up to you to believe it or not." Skeleton explained concisely and casually shrugged. "Otherwise, why do you think I didn't eat dinner and came to find you, the man who almost killed me?"
The last sentence was superfluous. After all, for many people, between revenge and dinner, the latter had less weight.
The beauty looked at him coldly, as if she wanted to see through him. Ah Wu generously let her look at him. Since the other party didn't ask, he didn't say a word.
After seeing enough, the beauty turned around and walked towards the village. Skeleton quickly followed without hesitation.
But whether this guy believed it or not, at least he was willing to let him go with him.
This guy obviously had something important to do. Skeleton didn't intend to ask how he got injured, what his identity was, and what abilities he had. But there was one thing he had to mention.
"My name is Skeleton, Skeleton as in unrestrained skeleton." Ah Wu reported his name with sincerity and asked, "How should I address you?"
"Skunk."
A simple word, indicating that the owner had no intention of chatting.
The two returned to the village, and their destination seemed to be the previous restaurant.
That person was still waiting for her at the door. Skeleton looked at the young man who hesitated and finally raised his arm to wave at her. She was really surprised.
Seeing that Skeleton still had an acquaintance in the village, Itachi didn't seem to be happy. They tried to keep a low profile. If they didn't have to deal with people, they wouldn't fight. Allowing Skeleton to travel with them was already the limit.
Bones sensed the other party's displeasure and whispered in his ear, "That young man and I have only met once. I'm going to find him for a free meal. If you're willing to treat me to a meal, I can send him away with a few words. Speaking of which, you are also hungry. Just to avoid me, you didn't even eat. I'm really sorry! "
Itachi looked back at him deeply and didn't respond. He only nodded slightly.
Walking closer, the young man saw that he brought someone back. He was obviously more surprised than Skeleton. He looked at Itachi carefully and asked Skeleton, "Sir, is … is this your friend?"
"Yes!" Skeleton answered with a smile and jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid of me? Why are you still waiting for me? "
"Ah?" The young man was slightly stunned, and then his face turned red. He shook his head and denied, "No, no, I'm not afraid of you. You helped me, why would I be afraid of you? I'm really grateful to you! "
Tsk tsk, he can't stand being teased … Skeleton looked at his flustered appearance and quickly changed the topic, "Don't be so excited. It's just a small matter. Go home and do your work. You don't have to treat me to a meal."
"Okay … Okay …" The young man seemed reluctant, but he didn't insist. He whispered, "Can I ask your name? My … My name is Yue Xi. "
"Skeleton." Skeleton was too lazy to talk nonsense this time. He only had one word and didn't say anything more.
"Skeleton, Skeleton … Mr. Skeleton," the young man said his name and seemed to be very happy. He showed a bright smile to Skeleton and said with a strong voice, "I hope to see you again!" Then he ran away.
Ah Wu felt that something wasn't right. Thinking about Yue Xi's sparkling eyes, he always had a bad feeling. But they had only met twice, and they probably wouldn't meet again in the future, so he didn't care.
He sat down with Itachi in the shop and ordered the same food as the other party. Looking at the tricolor dumplings and natto in front of him, Skeleton was finally sure that this place should be Japan, or in another parallel world with similar culture to Japan.
While eating the dumplings (sweet food is delicious), he carefully thought about the experience after coming here. Recalling the scene when he fought with Itachi, Skeleton suddenly had an idea!
The short sword this guy was holding, wasn't it called Kunai? It seemed to be a weapon often used by Japanese ninjas.
For Skeleton, the word ninja, compared to the word pirate, was much more unfamiliar. After coming to Japan, he hadn't seen this kind of people. He didn't see much on the Internet or in books. He only vaguely knew that these people knew ninjutsu, and most of them were spies and assassins. This Itachi's skill was extremely fast. If he wasn't injured, he might be comparable to their guardian's best physical skills, the little sparrow. If he was trained to be an assassin, then it was indeed very reasonable.
I must be careful of this person, or I might really die in his hands next time. Skeleton secretly thought, and sighed slightly. She had to admit that the teammates she was matched with this time were much more troublesome than Ace, and she was too tired.
Itachi was also very silent when eating, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Both of them had their own thoughts, silently finished the meal, and then went to the small hotel next door to get a room to rest.
The first night, it was peaceful.
The second day, Itachi woke Skeleton up early in the morning, and then the two walked around the village, and went to the nearby rivers and forests to search. Other than that, they didn't do anything else, and then returned to the hotel to rest.
The second night, it was peaceful … No, late at night, Skeleton was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by Itachi. She had to get up sleepily, and followed him to the roof to patrol the village. They didn't find anything, and it was almost dawn when the two returned to the room.
At this moment, there was no sleepiness, and Skeleton had to ask to understand, "I say, brother, can you at least tell me, what are you looking for? I can help you! "
Itachi looked at him indifferently, but still explained, "I'm looking for someone, his appearance and name are unknown, I only know that he stole the secret treasure of the Stone Country, 'Hidden Stone'. According to the intelligence, he lives in this village."
"Hidden Stone?"
"It's a kind of ninja tool that can absorb other people's Chakra and petrify your body."
Hey … it sounds very powerful.
"What about your injury?" Skeleton suddenly thought.
"It has nothing to do with this, it's just that I met a powerful guy on the way here."
"So …" It seems to be a bit too much to ask, but Skeleton had no choice, he had to figure out the reliability of this guy, "How can you be sure that the person you are looking for is still in this village? If he left, wouldn't we have wasted our time here? "
"Didn't you hear the people here yesterday?" Itachi frowned, "Recently, people in the village have been found fainted at home from time to time, and almost all of their Chakra has been absorbed."
Uh … well, Skeleton really didn't pay attention.
"Kufufufu ~ Even so, you can't just blindly look for him, right?" Skeleton was quite skeptical about whether this instance could be cleared, "There are not many people in this village, are there no other clues?"
"No."
"…" Skeleton was very helpless, and what he didn't expect was that there was actually a simple way – taking advantage of the dead of night, kill the people in the village one by one, and you can always kill the guy who can petrify. This kind of thing, Itachi has done before, but even so, it doesn't mean that he is a person who wantonly disregards human life. Unfortunately, the world won't believe it, and can't understand it.
In fact, it was a bit similar to the last incident, but not only the teammates leveled up, even the task was upgraded, in the case of no clue, how to find the person … Skeleton only felt a headache.
Itachi stood by the side of the window, looking at the gradually rising sun in the distance.
The two people, one sitting and one standing, were thinking about their own things.
