The door to the Akatsuki organization's meeting room opened from the inside.
But what is surprising is that none of the people who came out were wearing the fire cloud robe that represented blood and dawn.
On the contrary, most of them are not even ninjas——
Each of these people is quite old. The youngest one looks thirty-five years old at first glance. More than half of them wear glasses, and their whole body exudes a "weak" temperament that is completely different from the ninjas.
They walked together in twos and threes in the bright corridor leading to the elevator. Some were leisurely and contented, some were full of indignation, and some even used walking sticks to quarrel with the people next to them. Their voices were only no louder than Anjuro's——
"Idiot! You should have considered all situations from the beginning when writing the legal provisions! Every 'extra-legal mercy' comes at the expense of the country's credibility!"
"I think you are getting more confused as you get older! The details of each case are different, and each prisoner has different reasons for committing a crime. How can you use such rigid regulations to cover them all?"
"A crime is a crime. Only this fact is important. The motive should not be taken into consideration from the beginning. Do we just believe what the prisoner says he thinks? Why, is this urgent? Does my suggestion touch your sore spot? Look.
Is it true that you spent ten years in prison when you were young?"
"Isn't it too despicable for an old man to just discuss the matter and make personal attacks over old scores? Do all those in jail deserve it?"
"How dare you scold me for being an old man! Why don't you take my damn crutch—"
Bang!
Xiaonan, who stayed in the conference hall, waved her sleeves, threw out two paper figures and closed the door for her, blocking out the embarrassing live broadcast of the fight between middle-aged and elderly people.
Wearing a simple black uniform, she rested her left hand on the back of the chair and pinched her eyebrows with her right hand. She said softly: "I have never been so tired when I had meetings with those dangerous guys in the world in the past. The life of a ninja is very simple.
If you make a good decision, implement it immediately, and then adapt accordingly.
"But like this... this meeting has been going on all morning. Fourteen laws were originally planned to be compiled today, but four of them can satisfy everyone. With such efficiency, when will we be able to negotiate a decent result?"
When the new law is implemented, it will be the day when the Rain Country is declared to be born.
Although the country is gradually prospering, it has been isolated from the rest of the world for several years.
Now everyone only has a few tasks left to bring it back to the world, but these last few tasks have almost exhausted Xiaonan's patience.
"I also know that everyone is looking forward to that day...
"However, didn't Miss Ren say? Let's discuss more now and ask them all to consider all aspects. After the law is implemented, they will not be embarrassed to fill the loopholes when encountering specific cases.
"Otherwise, unjust and wrongful convictions will continue to appear, and other countries will take the opportunity to attack our brand-new system. At that time, it will become very difficult to quickly absorb foreigners to fill the population gap in the Rain Country."
The explanation came from a red-haired woman in her thirties and wearing glasses at the other end of the conference hall.
She organized a stack of papers and stuffed them into a folder, then walked over slowly and handed them to Xiaonan's hand.
This person is Xianglan's mother Anzhi. More than three years ago, Xiangshou and Xianglan were brought here to live here from the prison in Kusunin Village.
"Although those elders are a bit verbose, they are all professionals invited from various places by Xingjulang after careful consideration. More than half of them have valuable experience in managing cities or villages. It's just that they lived in different regions and cultures in the past.
Different, so the views on the same thing will be different.
"So, I feel that letting them discuss freely here does not involve wrangling over power or responsibility. Not only should we not stop it, but we should allow them to continue talking and explain all the issues clearly and thoroughly."
Because the management of the Country of Rain was completely killed by Payne in a rage, and Xiaonan himself had no experience in managing a city with tens of thousands of people.
As for the details of currency issuance, water and electricity projects, and urban planning, even Butterfly Ninja, who is well-read, knows very little, and Xiaonan knows nothing at all...
Considering that there are specialties in the art, Xingjulang relied on his unique "popularity" to invite professionals in different fields from all over the world as consultants.
These people all once held important positions, but most of them were ostracized by daimyo, nobles or ninja villages of various countries for similar reasons.
Some of them were dismissed, some were sidelined, some were imprisoned, and some were simply depressed.
Therefore, although these people have conflicting ideas with each other, without exception, they are not opponents of the "Daimyo-Ninja Village" system.
Adhering to the principle of listening and understanding, Xingjulang used various methods to get all these people here.
However, this consultant is not that consultant. These people are different from Konoha's consultant elders. Not all of them serve in the management of Rain Country, and they play more of a think tank or encyclopedia type role.
In other words, it is useless for them all to agree to something that the head of state, Xiaonan, opposes.
"This is all the minutes of today's meeting. Please consider it carefully when you go back. After all, it is you who ultimately makes the decision."
"Excuse me, Miss Xingzhi."
Konan nodded slightly, but still made up his mind to show this thing to Butterfly Ninja to look at it again to see if it could speed up the process.
Although she has grown in all aspects of governing the country in the past three years, that little girl who seems to be frail is always the first helper she thinks of when she questions herself.
"Is there anything else you need from me? If not, I'll take my leave now."
Xingzhi walked to the door, already planning to leave.
"There is something." Xiaonan stopped her.
"I forgot to tell you before. This morning, Miss Shinobu conveyed the news to me about Xiang Lian and Xing Jurou."
Xingzhi stood still, with an expression on his face that he was listening attentively.
"When they were guests at Mr. Mifune's place in Iron Country, they found two anonymous Uzumaki clan members."
"Another clan member shows up!"
The orange-red eyes of Uzumaki Xingzhi flashed with surprise, and then showed a bit of concern, "In the Iron Kingdom, should their life be considered comfortable?"
"Yes. These two are brothers. After dyeing their hair black, they worked as pastry chefs in the Kingdom of Iron for more than ten years. They both had grandchildren not long ago."
Konan relayed Anjuro's words, "They have a big business in Iron Country, so it's probably impossible to ask them to move here.
"But with the persuasion of Xing Jurou and Xiang Lu, they are willing to come to the Land of Rain to reunite with you for some time. If I guessed correctly, they should have already been packing their luggage while we were talking."
"...I never thought I would see such a day in my lifetime."
Xingzhilu smiled with satisfaction and said: "I think my grandparents would be very happy if they knew Izumi. After so many years, I was able to reunite with my clan members who were far away. It was really thanks to these two children who were willing to take the trouble to find them.
Especially Xingjulang, after all, this is not his responsibility..."
Xingzhi paused, "Master Xiaonan, if possible, I hope to take two days off to prepare.
"Let's entrust the work of the secretary to the two juniors who can control pen and ink. I have collaborated with them before on the research of new storage scrolls, and they are both very reliable children."
"You are talking about the young brothers that Giyuu brought from Konoha..."
Xiaonan nodded, "The older brother of the two brothers has been working under me and has never made any mistakes. He should be competent. After all, he is an intelligence talent trained by Shimura Danzo..."
Speaking of Danzo Shimura, Uzumaki Anzue's eyebrows suddenly darkened: "There is one thing I haven't asked for a long time.
"Lord Konan, is there any news about Nagato?"
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, Xiao Nan's stiff expression collapsed for a moment as if it were melting wax.
But after years of training, she immediately changed back to a brave face, shaking her head as if she had no fluctuations in her heart.
"If Nagato himself doesn't want to be found, I'm afraid...no one in this world can do anything about it. He has more ways to block sentient ninjutsu than we imagined."
Just a special sealing talisman can have a similar effect, not to mention that Nagato himself knows many spells to isolate perception.
"Sorry to make you sad..."
Uzumaki Anzu had learned Kagura's inner eye from Anjurou, so she would not be deceived by Konan's pretending to be strong.
"What a pity... If he had waited a little longer and could see what the Rain Country is like now, he might not have continued his dangerous plan."
Hearing what Xingzhi said, Xiaonan's fists were so tight that they turned white in her wide sleeves.
Three years ago, a few days before Uchiha Giyuu, Butterfly Ninja and Infernal Anjuro moved the orphans to the Land of Rain, Nagato suddenly disappeared without warning.
Carrying Konan on his back, he met privately with "Madara Uchiha" and Black Zetsu at the former headquarters of the Akatsuki organization, and then disappeared without a trace.
Nagato left a letter in the old headquarters, saying that he could no longer trust Konan, who was influenced by Anjurou, and decided to exclude her from the Akatsuki organization.
And he himself will continue the ultimate weapon plan to "solve all disputes once and for all" with other members of the Akatsuki organization...
This matter is very strange when you think about it carefully.
Because Konan remembered very clearly that before Nagato disappeared, he was so looking forward to meeting Anjuro again. But in the blink of an eye, he actually left the country of rain and left——
Although she had suspected that there were other possibilities for the matter, the so-called "Uchiha Madara" who had been hiding his head since the day he met them should not be Nagato's opponent.
Even if he kidnaps Nagato, given the latter's character, he won't let him go without a fight.
When a ninja of his level fights an enemy, he will never leave any traces behind...
After much deliberation, Konan finally accepted the possibility that "Nagato still couldn't let go of his identity as a god", endured the pain of being betrayed by his best friend, and focused all his energy on building the Land of Rain.
Nowadays, this country has a completely new look, but there is not even an old friend around me.
Xiaonan was surrounded by a sudden sense of absurdity. She stood silently, staring at the folder in her hand in a daze. It took a while before she came back to her senses.
"Apricot branch?"
She looked around and found that the conference room was empty.
She actually didn't even know when Miss Xingzhi left.
The quarrel outside the door has also disappeared, and it seems that all participants should have taken the elevator to leave.
Xiaonan took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, stared at the conference hall and turned off the lights.
The seat that originally belonged to "Penn" was completely plunged into darkness.
She turned around and left with a heavy heart, walking along the corridor to the elevator, but she met an unexpected person.
"Mr. Tobiru?"
This little old man with a stooped figure and a pipe in his mouth was also one of the "consultants" invited by Anjuro from outside.
It is said that Mr. Tobiru worked as a ninja for a period of time, but fortunately his job was a civilian job, so he lived to be over sixty years old, which is three to four times the average life span of the population of the Land of Rain.
"Why are you still here?"
Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to imagine that such an old smoker could have managed a city or village.
However, even someone as unconventional as Jiraiya can become one of the "Konoha Sannin", and Konan trusts Anjuro unconditionally, so even if she has doubts, she has always treated the old man with courtesy.
And the old man does have some real abilities.
He either doesn't speak during every meeting, but once he does speak, he is sure to come up with quite sophisticated solutions. He is not the kind of person who only raises questions.
Xiaonan had a vague feeling that just "more than one year of management experience" might not be enough to sum up this little old man's entire experience.
"Well, I'm ashamed to say it..."
The old man coughed twice and said, "Those guys thought I smelled too much of smoke and were unwilling to join me.
"Besides, I'm also afraid that those people will do something on the elevator and break my old bones, so I just wait here for the next one."
"That's it." Xiaonan originally wanted to turn into a piece of paper and fly back to the office, but leaving the invited guest here alone would undoubtedly be a bit impolite, "Then I'll go with you."
"Haha, if you don't mind the old man's smell of cigarette smoke."
As a result, the two of them waited at the elevator entrance.
Since the elevator itself is built outside the wall of the building, and this is the highest point in the entire Yuyin Village, even if they don't talk, the two of them will not feel bored just looking at the scenery.
But the old man is always moved by the scene, and can't help but talk about the past.
"Speaking of which, many years ago, my teacher took me here. At that time, Hanzo had just established this village, and the scale was less than one-tenth of what it is today."
"Have you ever seen Hanzo the Sansho Fish?"
Xiaonan was a little surprised.
"Yes, even though Hanzo is only a few years older than me, he can be considered a member of my teacher's generation. The five major ninja villages were established not long ago, and Hanzo was the first among all the leaders of small countries to be willing to imitate the ninja village system.
So my teacher made a special trip to see him."
The old man squinted his eyes and took two puffs of his cigarette holder, "However, he has great ambitions. Hanzo wants to not only imitate, but also wants to go one step further like you and completely get rid of the daimyo, the nominal talker.
"The Daimyo of the Rain Country at that time was from an old ninja clan, so he was unwilling to accept a new thing like the ninja village system... My teacher considered that in this matter, only Hanzo had the same interests as the five major nations.
, that’s why I suggested that the Daimyo of the Country of Fire keep the Daimyo of the Country of Rain by his side semi-forcibly.”
When the elevator arrived, the two of them stepped in one after another, and the old man continued: "But have you ever thought about it? Now that you have replaced Hanzo and want to build a country that is not ninja-oriented, aren't you standing on the opposite side of the five major countries?
"What's more, according to your philosophy, this land at the junction of the three countries is absolutely prohibited from becoming a battlefield for the major powers again... This alone has seriously damaged the interests of the major powers, and it is inevitable that the Country of Rain will become the target of public criticism.
"Now the Daimyo of the Rain Country is still in the hands of the Fire Country, and the idea that the Daimyo himself is the ruler of the country is deeply rooted in the hearts of most people in the world.
"Back then, they detained your daimyo because of inconsistent interests, and now they can push him to the forefront for the same reason and use it as a weight against you. As long as he opens his mouth, he will be labeled as a traitor to the Kingdom of Rain.
Then the Kingdom of Rain will never have peace..."
"He is a prisoner..."
Xiaonan was a little disapproving, "What use can it be?"
"Your country has been away from daimyo for too long, so you don't have this concept at all.
"The importance of a daimyo does not lie in who he is, but in that the word daimyo itself represents the legitimacy of the ruling power. With this legitimacy, you can do whatever you want in this country."
The old man explained in a subtle tone: "So I suggest that you either use all means to make the Daimyo of the Country of Rain recognize in public that you have the legal right to govern this country, and also to make him admit that everything is done with his knowledge.
carried out under the circumstances.
"Or, find a way to steal him secretly from the Land of Fire and hold him in your own hands. You can treat him however you want, but you can't let him become the mouthpiece of a big country against you."
"Publicly recognized?" Xiaonan silently pondered two ways, "Steal it from the Land of Fire?"
Which of these two methods is easier?
Xiao Nan remained silent for the second half of the time in the elevator, but could not think of a way to achieve either of the two.
Apart from anything else, it was difficult for her to even meet the Daimyo of the Land of Rain. How could those guardian nins handle it so easily?
Don’t let the Daimyo of the Country of Rain see and steal it, but instead be regarded as an assassin to kill the Daimyo of the Country of Fire. Then it’s really unclear what happened.
"Actually, if you think about it differently, it's not difficult to meet the great names."
After getting off the elevator, Mr. Tobiru suggested: "The Chuunin Examination will be held soon, and the daimyo from all participating countries will be present. At that time, as the leading ninja, it is not natural for you to have a private conversation with your monarch.
Something?"
"But we and the Earth Kingdom are considered enemies. We have been fighting over several minerals for several years."
Xiaonan frowned, "Ohnoki didn't invite us, so we have no reason to attend."
"Look, I just told you and you forgot."
The old man waved his hand, "The right to declare war is the prerogative of the 'ruler'. The daimyo didn't say that your two countries are enemy countries, so what kind of enemy country are you? As long as he asks you to take the chunin exam as a daimyo, of course you can
go."
Xiaonan understood immediately, but a new question arose: "But we can't contact him, so how can we get the daimyo to give us an 'order'?"
"This is the best thing to do, but of course, it's also the thing you least bother to do.
"There are several young nobles from the Fire Country who are very close to the big names from the Rain Country."
Sure enough, the old man had already thought of a countermeasure, "You bribed them in the name of Sanshouyu Hanzo, saying that there are several outstanding young ninjas appearing in the Land of Rain this year, and they are very likely to win the Chunin Exam. This is natural."
It will be spread to the ears of the Daimyos of the Land of Rain.
"As far as I know, your current daimyo is a half-year-old child who has suffered from low self-esteem for a long time. He has been criticized and despised by all kinds of things since he was a child. Now that he finally has a chance to feel proud, he will not let it go easily."
The elevator arrived. The two came to the streets of Yuyin Village.
Although this was not the first time that she got a solution to a problem from this old man, Xiaonan couldn't help but look at him with admiration:
"You are really secretive. If I hadn't promised Xingjuro not to delve into your past, I would still want to know what kind of person you were in the past and why you came here..."
The old man seemed to be choked and coughed a few times: "There is nothing to explore. To the people in my hometown, I am just a sinner with no security and no shelter..."
After that, he waved his cigarette rod at Xiaonan to say goodbye, and walked slowly away along the street.
"Think carefully about what I said before. If necessary, there is no harm in telling that little girl who knows how to escape."
【So, is he waiting for me on purpose today? 】
Xiaonan watched the old man disappear at the corner of the street, and then turned into thousands of palm-sized pieces of white paper, passed over the tall buildings, and returned to her office through the top-floor window of the Government Affairs Building.
But she had just landed and took shape when she heard the noise of people in the public office area outside the office, and there were cheers from time to time.
"what happened?"
Xiaonan opened the door in confusion, only to find that there was no one at the desk outside, and the door to the rest area was surrounded by people.
"That's awesome! One more!"
"Xin, that fake painting of a super beast of yours can be considered a secret technique. Let's demonstrate it to him."
"You don't want to harm others! It would be bad if he really learned it..."
"What's wrong? The more people who know that kind of ninjutsu, the easier it will be for us..."
"makes sense."
【Who are they talking about? Is there anyone new coming? 】
Xiaonan was a little curious, and silently came behind the subordinates with her body floating off the ground, and finally saw the little animal being watched in the rest area.
But once I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes away anymore.
【What a beautiful child.】
This is everyone's first impression.
【Such clear eyes.】
Xiaonan stared at the expressionless young man sitting on the sofa, feeling warm in her heart for no reason.
When she glanced at the end of the other person's blue hair, which was the same color as hers, the blood all over her body seemed to become smoother, and her body seemed to be wrapped in clouds. She was obviously helpless, but she felt comfortable and comfortable.
.
【This feeling……】
It was as if the loneliness I had felt not long ago when I thought of Nagato had been completely driven away from my body!
Suddenly, two crystal tears rolled in his eyes.
Xiaonan was shocked and turned pale. She quickly shaved the corners of her eyes with her little finger and kept asking herself: "What is going on?"
【Am I under some illusion?】
【Who is that child? 】
And it was as if something was happening.
The face-paralyzed boy, who was surrounded by the crowd and stars holding the moon in the middle, turned his head. The moment he saw Xiaonan, his eyes and lips instantly curved into three crescents, directly touching the softest place deep in Xiaonan's heart.
"Eh?????!"
"He laughed!"
"He actually laughed!"
"Isn't it too cute?!"
All the civil servants in the Government Affairs Department instantly turned into a group of weird uncles and aunties. Not only did they yell and scream, but some actually wanted to reach out and touch the child's head!
At this time, a muscular arm reached out in time and slapped all the dirty hands back with a single sweep.
"Have you people made a mistake?"
The immortal Kawakawa Genya, who is twelve years old but 1.8 meters tall, stood up, and the crowd of onlookers retreated as if they were avoiding ghosts.
"The two of us are here to do business, not to be your mascots and perform acrobatics!"
He punched upwards, and the blood vessels on his dark biceps pulsed, "If anyone comes here to cause trouble again, I will crush his bones, and then I will make another one myself and put it in to compensate him. Do you understand me?"
?”
No one said anything because they believed that Immortal Genya could really do it.
Immortal River stared at those narrow eyes, scanning everyone's face like a searchlight, and finally stopped at Konan, who had an extremely complicated expression.
"Miss Xiaonan?" He asked in confusion.
【What kind of fun does she see? 】
Everyone immediately heard the sound and turned around to look, "Lord Xiao Nan (Angel)" came and went.
Facing the situation of being watched by everyone, Xiao Nan forcibly suppressed her previous expression and nodded slowly as always: "If you don't work, what are you doing here?"
Everyone lowered their heads in shame. After all, this was not lunch break.
Fortunately, one of Xiaonan's disciples, Ziyanghua, was among these people. She didn't have so many scruples, and came to Xiaonan quite excitedly and said: "Teacher, this little brother came to the office half an hour ago. Because he is tall,
It was so cute, so we just played with him..."
Xiaonan glanced at the long-haired boy with some concern. Seeing that the boy didn't seem to care about being called "cute," she didn't interrupt Hydrangea's narration.
After rambling for two hundred words, Hydrangea finally got to the point.
"...Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai thought he was thirsty, so he made him a cold drink on the spot. But he didn't expect...
Ziyanghua picked up a tea cup from the coffee table in the lounge. The ice cubes in it were radiating cold air to the surroundings. "He actually imitated them and did the same thing immediately!"
Xiaonan was slightly surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, he didn't even tie the seal." Another person added: "After we heard about it, we thought it was unbelievable and wanted to witness it for ourselves, so we all gathered around."
"Unexpectedly, not only Shiro's ice escape, but also every time we teach him a new ninjutsu, he only needs to watch it once or twice, and he can reproduce it immediately."
"He can even copy my secret skills..."
"And it's more powerful and has more details..."
You said something to me in the hall, which made Xiaonan very speechless.
Forget about ordinary ninjutsu, isn't the reason why secret arts are called secret arts because they need to be kept secret?
Some people would actually ask others to learn their secret skills just to watch the fun... She has lived a long life, and she has really seen everything.
Although this sounds a bit unbelievable, but since so many people say this, this child probably has something special like Anjurou and the others, otherwise it would not have been Immortal Kawa Genya who brought him here.
"Okay, I've seen enough excitement, let's all disperse."
After figuring out the cause and effect, Xiaonan gave the order with a cold face, and everyone reluctantly left, not forgetting to wave goodbye to the long-haired boy.
It's just that the child's eyes were always on Xiaonan, and he was highly focused, and didn't pay attention to what other people meant.
After most people left, there were only four people left in the lounge: Konan, Hydrangea, Genya Immortal and the long-haired boy.
"..."
Xiao Nan came to the long-haired boy and squatted down in front of him with some anxiety. The other boy also looked at her very generously. His clear eyes could see the whole thing at a glance, just like the clear sky.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked: "What should I call you?"
It's not "what's your name" or "what's your name", but "how should I call you" - it seems a bit too polite.
Xiaonan herself didn't know why, she just didn't want to leave any bad impression on the child.
Ziyanghua reminded in a low voice: "Teacher, this child doesn't seem to like talking..."
"Muichiro Tokitoru. You can just call me Muichiro." This was the second time Muichiro Tokitoru spoke after entering the room.
The first time was when Bai showed him Ice Escape, he said "I understand".
"!!!!!" Hydrangea covered her mouth in surprise, "You actually said so many words to the teacher in one breath! You obviously didn't even tell us your name before!"
Genya Fusugawa covered his face. He was a little worried that Muichiro's strange temper towards strangers would affect their cooperative relationship with Konan.
I didn't expect that this guy would be so smart.
However, he was relieved too early.
Muichiro turned to look at Hydrangea and said slowly: "I won't tell you because when I think of you calling my name in that high-pitched voice before, I feel creepy and uncomfortable all over."
"Why are you talking like Brother Yiyong..."
Ziyanghua just felt that the other party's way of speaking was somewhat familiar, but she immediately realized that there seemed to be some differences between the two, but she couldn't tell what the differences were at the moment.
"The next time you speak, think carefully before speaking. Don't just say half of it."
Muichiro ended his communication with Hydrangea and turned back to look at Konan. His expression immediately relaxed a lot, at least he looked happy.
Xiaonan found it incredible. They had never met before, but there seemed to be a natural tie between them.
Next to him, Xuanya Fusugawa saw the expressions of the older and the younger ones, which were all too familiar.
The first time he saw Taketori Kimimaro, he felt even more excited than when he reunited with his eldest brother Immortal Kawa Saneya in the underworld.
That was the body's involuntary blood induction. After all, from a genetic level, he and Kimimaro were as similar as identical twins.
He had never met before, but sometimes he could tell what Kimimaro was thinking at a glance.
Muichiro Tokitoru was resurrected by Giyuu using Konan's hair. It is normal to have such a reaction when meeting him for the first time, and he will get used to it after getting along with him for a while.
"They say that no matter what ninjutsu, you can learn it after seeing it once..."
Xiao Nan glanced at the cup filled with ice cubes on the coffee table, "Is it true?"
"no."
Muichiro Tokitoru denied.
Xiaonan was just slightly stunned, but Ziyanghua was anxious: "But you just knew that you could repeat Bai's ice escape..."
"That's just the result you got from insufficient observation."
Muichiro said sternly: "I was born with the three chakra attributes of water, earth, and wind. Only the ninjutsu, secret techniques, and blood succession limits based on these three and the changes of yin and yang can I learn immediately.
"As for the two attributes of fire and thunder, I haven't seen particularly powerful thunder and fire ninjutsu yet, so I have no plans to develop them.
"So, next time you make a judgment, you should observe longer, so that you won't come to such an outrageous conclusion."
"You guy..."
The hydrangeas are already red and warm.
"Please calm down..." Who would have thought that the person who said this was Genya Immortal Kawakawa, "And Muichiro, please stop saying a few words."
He felt as if he was back when Zhuai was training.
Muichiro is almost a polar opposite when it comes to dealing with people he likes and strangers, and is sometimes more likely to cause misunderstandings than Giyuu.
On the other side, Xiaonan looked a little stunned, as if he had heard something incredible:
"You said you were born with the three attributes of water, earth, and wind?"
Muichiro glanced at Genya Fusugawa and nodded.
[How could such a coincidence happen again...]
【hair color……】
【That indescribable feeling.】
[There are also three types of innate chakra attributes, which are exactly the same...]
There were more and more thoughts in Xiaonan's mind, and it became more and more unbelievable. "Didn't my parents die in the war?"
She stared intently at Muichiro's eyes and nose, and suddenly thought of a saying that was widely circulated among orphans - Butterfly Ninja was Orochimaru's artificial human modeled on the cells of the first Hokage.
She had never believed such nonsense before.
But……
When she first met Yiyong, Yiyong asked her if she wanted to have her hair done.
When she first met Anjuro, Anjuro also asked her if she wanted to have her hair done.
When she first met Butterfly Ninja, Butterfly Ninja also asked her if she wanted to wear her hair.
【Is this really possible? 】
[Miss Ninja has almost ‘inherited’ all of Orochimaru’s property. Could it be said that...]
Unknowingly, Xiaonan became one of the people closest to the truth in the world, but her thoughts were not so firm.
"Muichiro..."
Xiaonan took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and there was a square piece of paper lying in her palm, "Can you do this like me?"
After saying that, the square piece of paper folded up on its own without anyone actively touching it, and turned into a little frog.
After she finished all this, she stared at Wuichiro with sharp eyes and handed over a piece of paper of the same size.
Muichiro didn't take it.
He thought for a while, rolled up his sleeves that were too long, and a larger piece of paper peeled off his arm like skin.
"You really did it?!"
Hydrangea exclaimed.
She is Xiaonan's apprentice, and she knows very well how difficult it is to learn the art of God's Paper Master.
After so many years, she has been able to create paper the size of playing cards out of thin air, and this is already the limit.
Xiaonan didn't say anything, she quietly watched the white paper gradually deform -
Muichiro did not follow the same pattern of folding frogs. As time went by, the shape of a bird became more and more obvious!
And at the moment when the head of the paper bird was completed, it suddenly "soared into the sky" as if it had a life of its own. Then it flew at a low altitude and snatched the frog from Xiaonan's hand.
The window flew out.
As for the fate of the two "animals" after that, Muichiro didn't care.
He turned back and looked at Xiaonan again, as if he wanted to hear her evaluation of the performance just now.
But Xiaonan stared at him and asked a question full of countless emotions: "Who are you?"
Muichiro remained silent.
"Can't answer?"
Konan couldn't help but hold Muichiro's right hand, with an expression like a mother whose child had been stolen, "Still can't tell?"
Muichiro spoke.
He pointed at Immortal Kawagenya: "He just asked me to say less."
Immortal Kawa Xuanya: "..."
Hydrangea:"……"
Xiaonan: "..."
This sudden awkward silence made the "initiator" Genya Immortal feel uncomfortable all over, and he really wanted to chase the bird and frog and jump out of the window.
He glanced at the clock on the wall and shouted, "Miss Xiaonan, Wuichiro and I have a mission this time. We were surrounded by your subordinates for so long and a lot of time was wasted.
"You know the temper of Senior Ren. If we go back late, I will definitely be sent to the hospital again..."
"In that case..."
Konan looked at Muichiro Tokitoru deeply, then stood up and said, "You are busy, and I happen to have something to do and have to go out for a while."
"That's perfect." Genya Fusugawa patted Muichiro's shoulder, "Let's go, we have to go to the Intelligence Department quickly to find out the location of this mission."
"Hydrangea, lead the way for them."
"I know, teacher!"
After everyone left, Xiaonan couldn't explain how she felt now.
She stood there for a while, then suddenly turned into countless pieces of paper and poured out of the window, heading all the way to the Rain Country Hospital.
A few minutes later, in an independent office of the Intelligence Division.
"I'm Tayuya. The one over there who looks a little weak is Nobu. There are two of us on duty here during the day."
The person in charge of the office is a cheerful girl with orange-red hair and a flute hanging from her waist. Judging from her skin color, she must be a local.
"Both of us were rescued by Giyuu Uchiha from the fire pit. Since you are also helping him, then we are our own people, so relax a little."
This girl doesn't seem to be very interested in Tokidou Muichiro's "super powers", but instead cares about her own work.
“Let’s first talk about our operating procedures.
"The two of us have different divisions of labor. I am responsible for collecting information for Anjuro about people who are oppressed by nobles and officials in various places. Now half of the civil servants in this building were recruited by him and Xiang Ling from all over the world. I take the credit for this.
Say less and account for one-third."
Tayuya patted the filing cabinet on the far right side of the room, "In addition, I also want to issue commissions to ninja villages in various countries to investigate and observe the war orphans living outside. They are also the largest source of population in the Rain Country.
.The letter is yours."
The letter over there is from the young ninja who encrypted and decrypted text for Shimura Danzo when Uchiha Mikoto caused a big fuss at the root headquarters.
After the destruction of the Roots, in addition to the two ninjas from the Aburame clan, Giyuu packed up all the orphans trained by the Roots and took them away, including Nobu's younger brother Matsuri (later Sai).
In order to prevent the two brothers from being separated, Yiyong took Xin, who was seriously ill, to the Land of Rain, but he was given to Butterfly Shinobu and was cured within a month.
Later, in order to repay his kindness, Xin proposed to work for the volunteers and came here.
"My working method is no different from Tayu's. I also remotely issue tasks to large and small ninja villages and even gold exchange stations to investigate missing persons around the world, and submit them to the volunteers in priority according to the severity of the investigation results.
"
He looked at Fusukawa and Muichiro and smiled happily, "In the past, he was only one person. Naturally, there would be some cases with lower priority, that is, cases with fewer missing persons, that could not be dealt with in time, so they were left alone. But.
Now with the help of you two, I believe it will save Yiyong a lot of time."
As he spoke, he formed a seal with his hands, and the ink on an encrypted scroll immediately rose into the air, and then jumped into the white paper on the table, turning into neat words.
Just when he was about to browse through the above content quickly, he raised his head and found that Muichiro Tokitoru was staring at him intently.
"Are you good at it again?" Xin asked with a complicated expression.
Wuichiro nodded: "Yes."
Transparent World is so useful.
It's just that Yiyong has a very traditional "traditional view". He feels that since people call it a secret skill, they don't want to spread it to others, so there is no need to learn it.
But Muichiro doesn't have this burden. He is essentially a curious baby and is interested in all new things.
"really……"
Anyway, it was what Danzo taught. Xin decided not to be entangled anymore. He picked up the document paper full of words and glanced at it: "This is your first mission. There are three villages near the End Valley of the Land of Fire.
A total of five hunters were lost in one month."
He reached out and handed the document over, handing it into the hands of Genya Fusugawa, who looked more like a manager.
"The number of people is very small, and hunters are inherently high-risk professions. They are unlikely to be kidnapped by humans. They are more likely to be attacked by animals, so they are a low-priority type.
"However, Konoha ninjas usually go out regularly to clean up those extremely dangerous beasts in the wild. Five people disappeared in just one month. It is still a bit suspicious, so I leave it to you."
"Understood."
Immortal Kawagen Genya collected the documents and was about to leave with Muichiro to pack his luggage for the road when he heard a familiar and harsh voice coming from the public office area outside: "Team member Tokitoru Muichiro, member Immortal Kawagen Genya
Mi! Team member Tokitoru Muichiro, team member Immortal Kawa Genya!"
When the two heard this, they looked at each other in unison.
This is by no means the first time that the tiger has sent a message to them in this world, but he has never used the word "team member". After all, there is no Demon Slayer Corps in this world.
Knowing that something was wrong, the two people quickly came to the hall and saw Yan Yan standing on the blades of the ceiling fan on the roof.
The rest of the staff were a little unbearable by the noise from this bird. At this time, seeing the reactions of Muichiro and Genmi, they were also a little confused.
"Team member Muichiro Tokitoru! Team member Immortal Kawakawa Genya!"
"After hearing the order, immediately put down all tasks in hand and rush to Shinobu-sama's office!"
"There are more important urgent tasks that must be executed immediately! Execute immediately!"
