Before Giyuu left, he went to the Minamigagawa Shrine, placed incense sticks in front of the tombs of Uchiha Enhuo and Uchiha Fumi, and placed magatama-engraved stones as tributes.
"Wen...if your death is related to Orochimaru, who likes to study blood successors..."
In the empty shrine hall, the cold and stiff prayers of Giyuu echoed.
"Please guide me so that we can capture him on this trip."
To be fair, Yiyong is not the type to ask for help from the power in the dark.
But the white monster captured by Infernal Anjuro before was very likely the one that followed Shisui in the Land of Rain.
Ordinary perception methods are useless against them. Only Anjuro uses the chakra of Kyuubi to use Kagura's Heart Eye to find the other party through malice.
In the past three years, Anjuro has caught four in total - two in the Land of Rain and two in Konoha, but those things are not human. The interrogation by ANBU has been fruitless, and the illusion is ineffective. They can only talk about shit and shit.
If the class is irrelevant, it will not contribute any useful information.
But according to what the Third Hokage said on the surface, that monster was most likely a spy created by Orochimaru. In the entire ninja world, he was probably the most likely person to do such a thing.
In addition, Orochimaru had attacked Itachi before and was very eager for the Sharingan. Therefore, Giyuu reasonably speculated that the guy who killed the fire last time with the spy in Konoha was probably him and one of his
An experimental subject equipped with the Sharingan.
In addition, Itachi's blood disease, as well as the ongoing massacre of blood ninjas and civilians in the Kingdom of Water, are somewhat related to this man named Orochimaru, so Giyuu has included him as a secondary target for this trip.
.
There is a high probability that as long as Orochimaru is captured, the name of the traitor in Konoha is revealed, and the evidence is obtained, the souls of Wen and Yanhuo will be able to rest in peace.
Three years!
Jiyong could see that Shisui was more eager to put things to rest and didn't take this matter too seriously.
Because this matter involved the village's spies, that is, the mysterious Genbe and Shimura Danzo, Shisui even did not want to investigate further, so as not to break the currently good relationship between the village and Uchiha.
Itachi was not familiar with the two deceased people and had no motive to pursue them.
Therefore, the only one left who has been chasing after him is Yiyong.
"This matter should come to an end."
After saying the last sentence, Yiyong turned around resolutely and walked out of the inner hall of the shrine.
In the wide yard, except for the old man who had been responsible for cleaning the shrine, only Zuosuke was squatting under the tree and looking at something.
Yiyong said to Zuosuke: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute, look here."
Zuosuke waved to him, and Yiyong walked over. This was the place where many magatama carvings were sandwiched in the stone slab when he came here last time. When he came last time, there were only four magatama carvings sandwiched in the gaps. Now,
But there were only three more.
In other words, in the past three years, the people who placed sacrifices here have only come three times, and the frequency has been greatly reduced.
"Why do people put sacrifices in this place?"
Zuosuke asked with some confusion.
Just when Yiyong wanted to say that this had nothing to do with them, he heard the old man sweeping the floor speak: "I wanted to ask the question you asked a few years ago. The seventh tribute just appeared this morning. I
I slept in the yard next door, but I didn’t hear any sound last night..."
"What a weirdo."
Zuosuke muttered and stood up, "Don't the clan members he worshiped be enshrined on the spiritual tablets inside?"
"Tsk, it's possible."
The old man sweeping the floor answered Zuosuke's questions by himself.
"There is only such a big place inside, and only clan members who have become ninjas have separate spiritual tablets. A useless old man like me will only have the name tag hanging inside after death. There is no way to enjoy the tributes alone."
"Ah? Since you're not a ninja, you don't have a spiritual position..."
Zuosuke's face turned pale and he quickly looked at Yiyong: "Then you and your brother——"
"you think too much."
Giyuu comforted Zuosuke silently.
However, before walking out of the yard, he still awkwardly walked up to the old man sweeping the floor and said something serious, whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"If you die, I will do the same and help you pay tribute."
[Anjuro said that you should consider the issue from the other person’s point of view. 】
[He must be very sad knowing that there will be no tribute after his death. 】
After saying that, Yiyong left the old man speechless and gasping for air, and walked away with Zuo Zhu who slapped him in the face.
On the way home, Zuosuke saw the lake outside the clan that had been refilled with water, and poked Giyuu's arm, "Did you do well when you went out last night?"
"Yeah." Yiyong nodded. After meeting Shisui last night, he filled it up with water escape when he came back.
After all, children of the same clan are practicing fire escape in other places, which can easily cause fires. It's just a pity that all the fish inside have been cooked before, so it would be more appropriate to buy some fry and put them in...
"Amazing!"
Looking at the satisfied lake surface, Zuosuke sincerely praised him, but immediately wrinkled his nose and said to Yiyong: "But don't be complacent, even if your water type is strong, your fire type is better than mine, but I still have the talent.
The thunder attribute chakra! Sooner or later, it will be as strong as your water escape!"
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
[They are obviously twins, so there is no reason why they are so different.]
Zuosuke has full confidence in himself.
Thanks to the chicken soup that Anjuro had fed him for more than three years, Zuosuke almost recovered from the shock he suffered yesterday.
Because their parents and brothers had already said goodbye, the two of them did not go home and walked to the gate on the west side of Konoha together——
That is the only formal exit of the village. Whether you are going to the east or west, you must start from there.
When they arrived, Sasuke snorted, because Purgatory Anjurou and Naruto, who had similar hair color and looked like brothers, were already waiting there, chatting eagerly.
"Oh, Giyuu! Sasuke! Have you had lunch yet?!"
Before they could answer, Anjuro held Naruto's shoulders and shared enthusiastically: "I had lunch at Naruto's house! Although I forgot the name because it was too long, I always felt it was very domineering! The taste was also very good.
It’s unforgettable!”
"hey-hey!"
Naruto first rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly, and then immediately came to Giyuu's side, with a somewhat complaining tone: "Giyuu, why didn't you tell me personally that you were leaving the village?"
"Who are you?! Even if I am Yiyong's brother, I only found out about it yesterday afternoon!"
Zuosuke raised his eyebrows and immediately attacked.
"Oh~ Then you are such a failure as a brother. You can only find out what Yiyong wants to do the day before."
Naruto narrowed his fox eyes and said sarcastically with a vague smile: "When Anjuro came to my house for dinner yesterday at noon, I heard him talk about this matter, a little earlier than your 'brother'
.”
Speaking of which, at lunch yesterday, Hinata Hinata and Anjuro were both eating at his house. Hinata's sister was also a good eater, so in the end Naruto himself was not full.
However, seeing everyone enjoying the lunch he prepared was enough to make him happy enough to take off.
Most importantly, thanks to Anjuro's arrival, Hinata Hanabi, who was originally very picky about Naruto, agreed to his proposal to have lunch at his house with her sister every day.
Well, he just has to find a way to make some money like Anjuro.
"Damn it! Don't think that just because you can cook is a big deal! Act like a girl all day long, just to see who will marry you in the future!"
"Hey, didn't you scold Yiyong?"
"Yiyong doesn't count! He looks almost exactly like me! He's much prettier than you. You don't have to worry about finding a wife at all!"
"But since you think I'm ugly, isn't Brother Xingjulang about the same as me? It turns out you..."
"Ahhhhhh! You have hair on your face! Shut up!"
"A little, a little, a little, a little! Those with horns on their heads! I won't!"
Seeing the familiar daily operations of the two of them, Yiyong walked to Anjuro without expression, who was still smiling.
"How about it?"
Giyuu asked something that only Anjurou could understand.
"Last night, I slept with Naruto!"
Anjurou said this after making sure that Naruto and Zuosuke were chasing each other far away, so as not to make Zuosuke even more angry.
"One whole night, I borrowed 2% of Nine Lama's chakra from Naruto!"
【ah?】
Yiyong turned his head unexpectedly: "Isn't it a little small?"
"According to Nine Lama's own words, 1% of it is equivalent to several elite jounin! I will use the shadow clone to call Nine Lama out, and it will turn into a little fox and hide in you! This way it will still be better
It will save a lot of chakra!"
Xingjuro calculated confidently: "Although the shadow clone consumes chakra even when talking, if there are no accidents on the way, its 1% is enough to last ten days and a half! The only thing I'm worried about is..."
Speaking of this, he specially warned: "Yiyong, remember what I said before, think from each other's standpoint! The Nine Lamas also have their own thoughts and consciousness, and they are not animals driven entirely by instinct! So you must never
Don't treat him like a ghost!"
【What is a ghost?】
Kyuubi, who could hear the conversation between the two through the tailed beast's chakra, turned over in confusion.
Yiyong thought for a while: "If he doesn't take the initiative to hurt others, I won't do anything to him."
"That's good! The Nine Lamas will also restrain themselves, right?!"
The chakra in Anjuro's abdomen vibrated unwillingly.
At this time, Naruto and Zuosuke were scolded by the two special jonin guarding the gate for disturbing the order by chasing them in front of the gate, and came back in disgrace.
The two of them turned their heads and looked in two completely different directions.
Anjuro called the two of them in front of him: "Sasuke, Naruto, just send them here! If I can't come back for a long time, I will write to you and ask to be brought to you!"
The crows flying back and forth in the sky called twice at the right time.
"Yiyong said he would be back before school starts..."
Zuosuke looked at Anjuro steadily, with deep reluctance in his eyes, "Brother, will you be gone for a long time? I heard that you won't come to school..."
"This is still uncertain! But I will definitely miss you!"
His eyes were lifelike, and he said to Naruto and Zuosuke at the same time: "Don't forget to exercise during your vacation! People who are in good health will have fewer worries! Don't think too much about possible things, and focus on reality.
Live every day to the fullest! This way, I don’t have to worry about you anymore!”
"Got it!" X2.
"Okay! I'm very energetic! Then let's set off, Yiyong. We will be separated at the intersection ahead!"
Yiyong nodded, turned around and left without saying goodbye.
"Wait a moment!"
Zuosuke suddenly stopped him, took out a scroll from his pocket, and handed it to Giyong with doubtful eyes.
Yiyong: "This is?"
"There are exams before school starts, so don't forget to review."
Zuosuke was obviously speaking seriously, but his expression was clearly twitchy for some reason, as if he was doing something bad.
"I put in some of the frequently read books on your bookshelf, as well as the textbooks from the previous school year! Don't take it too easy while you're on vacation!"
Giyuu was a little confused, Zuosuke really thought he was going to the Country of Yu.
【How can I have time to read...】
However, seeing that Zuosuke was embarrassed and hesitant to speak, he still accepted the scroll and put it in his pocket: "I understand."
With that said, he and Anjuro set out on the road to leave.
After the two of them were far away, Naruto put on an indescribable expression: "It's not relaxing to go on vacation. Didn't you deliberately make him unhappy? Wait, why are you laughing so disgustingly?
"
In Naruto's eyes, Sasuke was staring at the righteous hero with a thief smile, as if the bad guys in the movie had successfully poisoned him.
"You can't control it!"
Zuosuke returned to his normal expression.
He mixed the enveloped magazine into those books so that Yiyong would be able to see it as long as he opened it, and he would save himself from being discovered by his mother at home.
I hope... that men's magazine, written by Jiraiya himself and highly regarded in Konoha, and even the uncles of the Konoha Guard have a copy, can correct Giyuu's aesthetics!
However, when he turned his head, he saw Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were red again, and he said in embarrassment: "Let's go, let's go! I'll accompany you to train. Looking at your look, it's not like Giyuu won't come back..."
On the other side, after Giyuu and Anjuro walked some distance, it was finally time to separate.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
As soon as the clone composed of the nine-tailed chakra appeared, it immediately turned into a red fox as big as the palm of a hand, jumped to the top of Giyuu's head and lay down. He closed his eyes without saying anything, looking like he was the only one in his own right.
Giyuu didn't care either, but Sasuke just delivered the book and the previous trip to the shrine reminded him of something.
He took out a book from his bag, which was Jiraiya's "The Story of Strong Perseverance".
"Xingjuro, if you have a chance, help me take this book to the wilderness of the Land of Rain, to the wooden house I mentioned before."
Yiyong handed the book to Anjurou's hands.
"There are three famous names in it. They were once disciples of this author. Just think of it as their spiritual tablets and put this book on it."
"I see!"
After the two embarked on two different paths, Xingjulang looked back again: "Yiyong! Take care!"
