After pulling the person back, Kakuzu quickly realized that it was a misunderstanding.
But now that he has caught him, he will definitely not be kind enough to send him back.
I originally wanted to just twist the person's neck.
But thinking that it seemed to be related to the Ugetsu Store, maybe I could do it as a favor, so I just stuffed it in and continued to work.
As the saying goes, opportunities always come to those who are prepared, right?
This opportunity has come, hasn't it?
The corners are very happy.
However, if I say that I caught the man a few days ago, people will inevitably think there is a conspiracy - after all, he could have just caught him and taken him away, why did it take so long?
Especially since he is still receiving a salary from Yuyue Store.
But it's not a big problem.
Just say you were too busy before.
After all, the Mirage Technique is a powerful ninjutsu that consumes so much time and energy. How can it be done well without spending 200% of your energy?
Kakuzu found a good excuse for himself, and then he took the bonus... no, he took Fengwai with him and set off.
The handover process was also very simple - because Yu Yue was not at Konan's place, the remaining Yakushi Kabuto became the person in charge - although he was young, he was a master at manipulating people's hearts.
A few years ago, when he hadn't made special research, he was able to fool several employees of the Ugetsu Store, including several Chunin and Jonin. Now that his skills have reached perfection, it goes without saying.
He didn't ask any questions like checking a household registration, but just asked a few questions as if he was chatting casually.
The language is also very comfortable:
"Oh, you caught the accomplice in your busy schedule. You've worked really hard."
"We were just worried about this matter. You came just in time."
“Although it’s not a lot, it’s a token of our appreciation.”
In short, every sentence is heartwarming and soothing no matter how you listen to it.
Kakuzu was in a good mood, so he was naturally willing to say a few more words - although his words had been processed a bit, overall, they were not too far from the truth.
I just changed the thought that I was discovered to that I felt someone following me when I was resting after work. I thought that I was the one who used the mirage technique to broadcast the Chunin Exam, and it might affect the broadcast of the exam, so I used some means to deal with her and finally caught her. (Did you hear that? I also went through a difficult and fierce battle to catch her)
"I wanted to send him to the Sand Village, but there was no evidence, and I had to work, so I detained him. I was busy these days and didn't go back. I heard that someone attacked the supply center of the support supplies, so I remembered him again." (Of course, it was mainly because no one mentioned the money before)
After hearing this, Pharmacist Dou immediately expressed his understanding.
"I really admire your dedication to your work. We will be responsible for the follow-up work. I will ask you to take care of the work of Mirage in the future."
Of course he knew there was some truth to his words.
It’s just that someone gave it to me out of kindness, so I can’t be so tactless as to question them, right?
Anyway, the person is already in my hands.
If you want to know something, why not just ask?
Pharmacist Kabuto pushed up his glasses.
There was no mercy or sympathy in the look he gave to the unconscious Feng Wai.
Not only that, he had even considered how to torture him.
Yakushi Kabuto has always been a practical person and never considered himself a good person.
For him, as long as it is an enemy, he will try every means to defeat it.
The method is the same.
As long as it works, any means are acceptable.
"Would you like me to help you move in?"
Kakuzu was in a good mood after receiving the money, and naturally didn't mind providing some 'small help' within his ability.
"That's no trouble to you."
Yakushi Kabuto said with a fake smile.
"Please pay more attention to tomorrow's mirage technique."
"no problem."
If he is paid enough, he will certainly do his best.
After Kakuzu left, Kabuto Yakushi also put away the smile he had just put on for business.
He didn't ask anyone for help. He just grabbed Fengwai's hair and dragged the man away.
There is a warehouse behind the Ugetsu store in Sand Village.
The area outside the warehouse adjacent to another building is an L-shaped corner where even the midday sun cannot shine in.
Normally no one comes here, and only occasionally will there be goods that have not been registered piled here.
At this time, it is just right to use it as a place to interrogate prisoners.
"Is this the attacker?"
When Yakushi Kabuto walked over, a black-haired boy with androgynous beauty was already standing there.
Noticing the surprised expression of Pharmacist Kabuto, Bai looked unhappy.
The way:
"You didn't think I didn't notice."
Bai couldn't help but feel emotional because the other person treated him like a child even though he was not much older than him.
You are both the target of Miss Yu Yue's right and left hands. How can you talk about competition with this attitude?
"But this is not something a good kid should see."
Although he was surprised, but thinking of the other party's genius, Pharmacist Dou didn't say anything else - he just told the truth and then prepared to drive the man away.
However, Bai not only did not leave, but instead looked at him intently and firmly.
"My mother and I were saved by Miss Yu Yue. I will be an employee of Yu Yue Store from now on. Please don't treat me as an ordinary child anymore."
Of course Bai doesn't like fighting and killing.
But he was very clear about his situation and purpose.
If he just wants to live a peaceful life, then of course he can pretend that he knows nothing, grow up and live an ordinary life.
But he didn't want such a simple life.
He wanted to repay Miss Ugetsu and wanted to be someone who could be of use to Miss Ugetsu.
Of course, you need to be willing to pay and face any situation.
So if Yakushi Kabuto thought that saying this would scare him away, he was very wrong.
Seeing that he was so determined, Yakushi Kabuto did not force him.
He just casually said as he was fastening the man into the shackles that had been fixed in advance:
"As long as you don't regret it."
Pharmacist Dou didn't bother to argue any further, but woke Fengwai up directly.
Looking at Fengwai who was awakened by his method, Yakushi Kabuto smiled slightly.
Next, it’s time to reveal the truth.
On the other side, Xiaonan also handed over the support items that he had worked overtime to prepare.
It was only at this time that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've worked hard. Go to bed early."
After Yu Yue checked, she immediately comforted him.
"I know you are very tired now, but I'm sorry that you have to endure such an accident." Yu Yue patted Konan's arm, and then Uchiha Itachi, who was following her, was very considerate and served the specially prepared food.
It’s called rest, but wouldn’t it be too boring if it just involves sleeping?
At least you have to have a good meal first.
Xiaonan was even more moved on the spot.
She was born an orphan.
I have never met such a considerate employer.
I won’t say any more. Miss Yu Yue will be their VVVVVIP from now on. No one else can help her.
Although now she also values ​​Miss Yu Yue's work very much.
But next time, if it happens again, even if she is doing other work, she will quickly put down the work at hand, finish Miss Yu Yue's work and then continue.
Ms. Yu Yue, it is so important!
So Xiaonan nodded seriously:
"Please rest assured that I will not let you or other guests down."
Even if Miss Yu Yue didn't say so, she would still do it.
Not to mention that the problem this time was caused by myself.
After the greetings, Xiaonan went to rest.
Yu Yue was also preparing to go back with her people.
The other two people who followed her also breathed a sigh of relief again.
"I still feel a lot of pressure meeting Miss Konan."
Tianma breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s actually better than before.”
Xinzi also patted his chest.
Because of the attack, Uchiha Itachi's team simply became Yu Yue's guards.
Although Haku and Kabuto Yakushi are also very powerful, they are not official ninjas that have received formal training and completed their studies.
So this task fell to their team.
It can be considered as a professional match, so I can start the practical stage directly.
Although they really wanted to go back and watch Uchiha Shisui's game, they still had work to do with the support items, so Ugetsu and his group went back to Ugetsu Shop first.
After returning, the goods have to be packed again, and then arrange for merchants to pick up the goods.
In short, I will be busy for a while.
When I went back, I saw Bai cleaning the yard.
But then again…
"How come there is so much water?"
It’s not so much that there is too much water, but rather that the yard looks like it has been washed away by a rainstorm.
Not only was it wet, but the soil was also turned up.
" I accidentally spilled paint..."
Bai, who was cleaning, said awkwardly.
Maybe because he made a mistake, his eyes looked a little dazed.
Yu Yue didn't take it too seriously - after all, a child hasn't experienced the harsh reality of life, so it's normal for him to be shy and afraid of being criticized.
Let's talk about paint.
They have prepared a lot for the support activities and are not afraid of lacking anything.
Only Uchiha Itachi looked at him a few more times.
He keenly felt that things should not be that simple.
First, let’s talk about Bai.
He said paint was spilled, but there was no obvious smell of paint at the scene.
The faint smell was not so much spilled as it was someone deliberately sprinkled some to create the scene.
Then there is this range...
Uchiha Itachi's gaze swept towards the dark corner.
If his judgment is correct, that side should also be a part of it.
"If it's too much trouble, forget it. It's the same if I hire someone to clean it up later. "
Ugetsu looked at Bai and the cleaning tools in his hands and kindly suggested.
Bai quickly shook his head.
"It's okay... I can solve my problem myself and it will be done soon."
Uchiha Itachi noticed that although the boy was nervous, he did not seem guilty.
I just felt relieved, as if it was really the kind of relief that comes from being forgiven for making a mistake.
...Maybe there was just a slight problem.
Uchiha Itachi still has great confidence in his companions in Ugetsu Shop.
Yu Yue didn't care at all. Since Bai said it was okay, then it was okay.
She clapped her hands and called out to Uchiha Itachi and his team.
"Okay, cheer up and get to work!"
Bai heaved a sigh of relief only after the group went in.
That was a close call.
Miss Yu Yue almost discovered the evidence of my carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.
Originally, he and Kabuto Yakushi were interrogating the woman with red eyes, and everything was fine at first.
But later, while they were talking, the woman suddenly transformed into a werewolf, used her extraordinary strength to break free from the shackles that bound her and ran out.
Bai, who had never experienced actual combat, was even confused for a moment.
It was Kabuto Yakushi's voice that drew his attention back.
But by then the female werewolf had already run ahead - although he used ice escape to stop her in time, he also messed up the front yard.
That's why he was hurriedly cleaning up.
Although he stopped the man in time, Bai still felt ashamed and humiliated because the door failed to react in time at that moment.
It's so embarrassing.
He really didn't want to do this in front of Miss Yuyue, whom he admired the most.
How embarrassing.
While cleaning, Bai made up his mind secretly.
--next time.
Next time I must never behave so shamefully again.
The problem has been solved at Yuyue Store.
Hyde has a big problem.
Not only was he restless during the day, he also couldn't sleep at night.
Rank and Fengwai disappeared one after another.
Camilla could not be contacted for the time being because she was out in the mobile fortress.
What made him even more anxious was.
He didn't even know what had gone wrong.
Was he involved in an accident? Or was he discovered by the ninjas from the Sand Village?
Are they both dead or alive?
He doesn't know anything.
No matter how much he believed in the power of the Gray Stone and the 'Three Knights' he had created, he had to start thinking about the worst.
The Sand Village is full of their people, so it is impossible to force his way through - not to mention whether he can get out, his behavior of wanting to run away when everyone is so busy with cheering activities and the Chunin Exams is very suspicious.
So not only could he not leave, he had to stay and act as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, what about personal grudges, gains and losses?
It was no longer in Hyde's mind.
He was just thinking about how to get out of this situation.
After walking around the house a few times.
He found that the only thing he could do was... do nothing.
As long as he behaves like everyone else, those people won't be able to find it in themselves.
Rank and Fengwai were both cultivated by me, and they would never betray me - that's right.
It must be like this.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief again.
I think I am too simple.
——Wait for him to go out.
No, wait for Camilla to drive the mobile fortress over.
It's his turn now!
Thinking of this, Hyde forced another ferocious smile.
When that time comes, he will let them know how powerful he is!
After figuring it out, Hyde took a few deep breaths.
Getting ready to watch that damn Chunin Exam.
After all, his primary goal now was to be 'normal', to look like everyone else.
People went to watch the game, so naturally he had to go too.
Even though he had already hated the Chunin Exam and all the ninjas.
Damn it, it’s so damn damn.
But what he didn't know was.
His affairs had been sold out by Feng more than once. Rank didn't sell it, but it wasn't because she didn't want to, but simply because she had no chance.
The furious Xiaonan didn't even give her a chance to speak.
Otherwise, I guess she would have sold it just as fast.
After all, these two people have power because of the Gray Stone.
But compared to the 'old predecessors' who possessed power thousands of years ago, they are still a little immature.
Whether it is the use of strength or the study of torture...torture techniques.
Those ninjas are having a lot of fun.
Because people who have become strong and have nothing but smooth sailing in life after obtaining the Stone of Grayl cannot endure this kind of pain.
Naturally, everything was explained.
It was just because Hyde had always just assigned them to work without any explanation, so they only had a vague idea of ​​what kind of power the 'Grel Stone' had, how to obtain it, and how to use it.
It's said vaguely.
The only thing that is certain is that Hyde is really planning to attack the Sand Village.
Such great news, of course, would not be kept secret by Yu Yue. She quickly reported it to the Sand Village and also told Orochimaru.
The Sand Village takes this news very seriously.
The Third Kazekage finally understood why the man named 'Hyde' had that attitude when he came to discuss investment.
My goodness, they are fighting with the idea of ​​killing them and becoming the dominant power.
Arrogant, of course.
In other words, just a slightly contemptuous attitude is already a respect.
However, after discussion, the Sand Village did not immediately launch the decapitation operation - after all, it was the Chunin Exam period.
All around him are distinguished (and willing to spend money) guests of the Sand Village. Who knows if that guy will choose to die together with his fellow villagers when he gets desperate?
It doesn’t matter whether he dies or not, but nothing can happen to the guests.
Their Sand Village is also planning to launch new tourism projects in the future.
Things like riding desert monitors and setting up tent camps under the starry sky.
These all need to be arranged.
Don't fail before you even start.
So they didn't act rashly.
They just arranged a large number of ninjas who were proficient in stealth to keep an eye on him.
It will be time to settle accounts with him after the Chunin Exam is over.
——But all this has nothing to do with the candidates who are completing their re-examinations in the desert.
They are still working diligently to decipher where the ruins may be and how to enter them based on various documents and intelligence.
If there is any difference between the ruins of the ninja world and the world where Ugetsu lived in the past.
In addition to the fact that there are so many of them, they are spread all over the world.
That is, except for a very small number of completely dilapidated ones, other ancient ruins still have some functions that are more or less functioning.
These "functions" also include defense mechanisms or some facilities that were originally used for warfare.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter this kind of thing, violent inspection could result in loss of life.
It's even possible that everyone might be buried underneath.
——You have to know that the place where they are now is a desert.
If a large amount of sand surges down like waves, they won't even have a place to gain leverage.
So even though everyone is very scheming, the exploration and search work has been proceeding very steadily.
Everyone is doing their best to collect and interpret any information that may come in handy.
And God helps those who work hard, they finally made a breakthrough today.
"These are the remains of an ancient kingdom."
The people who interpreted the messages joyfully held up the messages they had solved.
"The exact cause of the destruction is unclear. The intelligence we have deciphered says it was a natural disaster, but there are also descriptions of man-made disasters. We only know that it was once very glorious."
“In fact, there are quite a few contradictions.”
While they were happy, several ninjas in charge of interpreting the intelligence couldn't help but complain.
"This is also one of the reasons why our interpretation work is slow - after all, one moment it says east, the next moment it says south. One moment it's nudism, the next moment it's a mysterious underground force, it's very confusing."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Uchiha Shisui, who was in charge of the overall dispatch, said sincerely.
"It's really amazing to be able to extract the useful parts from such messy information."
“…It’s not that great.”
Hearing him say this, the ninjas in charge of interpreting the story were a little bit upset.
Thank you.
"Although it's a bit strange, it's also quite normal. After all, people in ancient times didn't have the advanced equipment and technology that we have today. Some things that we think are normal are big things to them. In addition, rumors may exaggerate the facts, so it's normal for there to be discrepancies in the final records."
“I just haven’t seen such a big difference.”
another added.
"If I hadn't known that this was a joint news, I would have thought it was two different places."
But even though he complained, he finally found the relic that had made him go through so much trouble to get in and almost lose all his hair.
Then there is the issue of excavation.
Although this also means that their alliance may soon come to an end.
But that is for later.
After finally coming to a successful conclusion, shouldn’t we let them cheer for a while?
The students are happy.
The audience was happy too.
They all watched these children walk along the way.
I have worried about them, and I have also felt joy and passion from them.
That really shows true feelings.
At this time, it's more like watching people who have nothing to do with you competing.
It was more like watching one's close nephews or nieces taking an exam.
The emotions and level of involvement are naturally different.
So when they saw that this matter finally came to a perfect conclusion, people in the audience cheered.
Of course, not everyone is so excited.
For example, Hyde.
His expression was very ugly.
However, the people around him were already immersed in a sea of ​​happiness at this time, and no one paid attention to this middle-aged man with a gloomy and ferocious face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Some people have even discussed what to eat and drink tonight in order to celebrate the ninjas they support for completing the first difficult part of the re-examination.
In a place like the Sand Village where the atmosphere is filled with "If you are unhappy, you should eat and drink to be nice to yourself" and "If you are happy, you should eat and drink to celebrate", although I have not been here for long, people have accepted this setting very smoothly.
"I'm so happy today. Let's go celebrate."
It has also become a part of people's daily communication.
But before people could be happy, they discovered that thick smoke suddenly appeared in the distance where the mirage was displayed.
"What is that?"
The audience nervously turned their eyes back to the screen showing the mirage technique.
Could it be that the mechanism has been activated?
Hyde, who had been scowling before, now clenched his fists with a look of disbelief.
No, it won’t…
Shouldn't-
The examinees present were all ninjas, so they naturally noticed the movement in the distance.
"cigarette?"
"It's not smoke."
Uchiha Shisui shook his head.
During this period of time, he had dealt with various huge desert creatures.
Although it was far away, he recognized the true nature of the 'smoke' at a glance.
That was not 'smoke', but the sand and dust kicked up by something huge moving quickly and violently across the desert.
"Sand?"
After hearing his explanation, others were even more confused.
As a campsite, of course safety must be guaranteed. Wherever they go, they will clear the room inside and out for any potential dangers.
The desert creatures hid far away when they saw them being beaten.
It's unlikely that someone would rush over like this, unless they are brainless...
ah!
"Is this the means of transportation for the Sand Village?"
Some people also think of the desert-specific transportation that the Sand Village is famous for.
If it was the desert ship, it should be able to make this kind of noise.
After all, it's really big.
"No, it isn't."
As Ugetsu's right-hand man, Uchiha Shisui, who witnessed almost the entire process of the birth of the Desert Ship and the Desert Star, flatly denied their speculation.
Regardless of their size, both the Desert Ship and the Desert Star are designed and manufactured for "travel".
What is needed is speed and agility, but what is in front of us is clearly the result of some huge object rushing forward.
His expression darkened, and he said to the people around him:
"Although I don't know what it is specifically, but..."
"Get ready to fight."
That is definitely not something sent by the Sand Village. !
