Yasujiro is the veteran experimental subject who was mistakenly implanted with the Black Sancho Fish three years ago.
Anjuro and Shizune struggled to remove his poison sac. In the end, it was Tsunade who took the initiative to complete the surgery. She also took advantage of the situation and charged a sky-high surgery fee...
In terms of net worth alone, this little-known young man is already as good as half Asuma.
Of course, the insider didn't tell him much about the latter part.
At this time, Yasujiro's eyes were filled with hot tears, and they were overflowing with unbelievable light. He stared at Anjuro opposite him, and his shoulders and back were slightly shaken by his excitement, as if he had seen his parents who had been separated for a long time.
Relatives.
He had fantasized about meeting Anjuro again countless times, but he never expected that it would be on such an occasion, without any warning and so suddenly, just like the first time they met back then.
He was only in his early teens at the time, but due to adequate diet and exercise over the years, he was already as tall as an adult.
Coupled with the thick raincoat, large hat and gas mask, at first glance, there is not much difference from the other rain ninjas responsible for guarding the door...
But he didn't expect that he would be recognized by Anjuro so easily.
"Xingjulang..."
Ignoring the increasingly weird looks from his peers, Anjiro was like a toddler being sent to kindergarten for the first time, desperately wiping his tears with the heel of his palms, and making choking noises at the same time. Even the sound of pouring rain could not cover up this.
The voice completely exposed his vulnerability to the rain ninja who was working together.
"It turns out you still remember me. I thought you...you had forgotten us a long time ago..."
"How can this be?!"
Anjuro smiled heartily, "We have dealt with very troublesome enemies together! I will never forget my teammates who fought side by side!"
The enemy he was talking about was naturally the poison sac of the black pepper fish.
From an ordinary person's perspective, the successful completion of the operation was entirely due to him, Shizune, and Tsunade. However, Anjuro took into account the patient's own desire to survive, and that's why he talked about fighting side by side.
After hearing his unique statement, Yasujiro was convinced that this was Anjuro himself and not a fake person.
In this world, only Anjuro can speak like this. Just listening to it makes people feel empowered.
"Then why...you never came back to see us?"
Yasujiro suddenly felt even more aggrieved, not just for himself, but to express the common thoughts of the six children back then.
For three years, they waited and waited, and had several opportunities to leave Kawa no Kuni, but they gave up because they were worried that Anjuro would not be able to find them when he came back.
It wasn't until more than half a year ago that I met Yasujiro, a ninja who went to the Land of Sichuan to purchase supplies. He heard from him that the Land of Rain was about to undergo drastic changes, and that it would be led by the "angel" himself, so he was persuaded to come back together.
.
"Didn't you promise? You will definitely come..."
"I did go back, but I didn't show up!"
Anjuro walked a little closer, his tone seemed to be coaxing the child.
Although the other rain ninjas were unsure of his identity, based on his appearance and Anjiro's words, they had already made some guesses in their minds and were exchanging glances with no intention of stopping him.
It's just that we have been guarding the gate together for some time. Although Yasujiro is young, he is very hard-working and independent. He has far more positivity and strength than ordinary people. Now that he has suddenly become such a weirdo, they are more or less
Not used to it...
Although Yu Xingjuro is tall, his face is obviously still very childish. Although he is younger than Yasujiro at first glance, he has become the target of being spoiled, which is inevitably a bit strange.
Is this young boy really the "sun of hometown" that many people call him?
[Well, you have the momentum, but you seem to be a little too young. Is it as powerful as everyone says? 】
After hearing Anjuro's answer, Anjiro raised his head in confusion: "Is that so?"
"Yes. I went back many times!"
Xingshoulang gave an affirmative answer loudly: "Although I was just passing by while doing other things, I know very well that you worked hard as a postman for half a year, then joined the security team of Heli Town, and learned how to extract chakra! I also
I know that you saved some money part-time and helped several other children learn basic reading and writing! It’s because you did a great job that I left with peace of mind, because you don’t need me to do any more unnecessary things, right?
?"
Yasujiro finally stopped crying, and the childlike grievances that had been hidden in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"It turns out you really know everything..."
Yasujiro's face suddenly turned pale when he said this, "What about Hanako's illness..."
Before parting with Anjuro, he promised Anjuro that he would take good care of the others, but one of the six children still died prematurely.
"Diseases and injuries are different. Even medical ninjas don't have any good solutions!"
Anjuro shook his head regretfully. He had dealt with that child's disease before. It was an incurable genetic disease. Even if the doctor was replaced by Tsunade, he still couldn't save it.
Except for using his clone to come and see the child for the last time before he died, Anjuro himself could not do anything.
"Yasujiro, you have done the best you can to the best of your ability! Don't take the things you can't solve as your own mistakes and carry them on you, understand? I think Hanako has a spirit in heaven, and she wouldn't want to
You’ve been blaming yourself for this!”
"..."
Yasujiro was silent for a while, his originally lowered head gradually raised, and his voice returned to its usual calmness.
"I understand! Thank you, Anjuro!"
Yasujiro didn't feel ashamed when he saw the way other people looked at him.
But then he remembered the real thing - Xingjulang came here to meet the leader of Yuyin Village, not to reminisce with him.
Yasujiro suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Their duty is to ensure that no outsiders enter through the gate of Yuyin Village.
After all, the murder of Sanshouyu Hanzo and the change of ownership of Yuyin Village were completely confidential.
These rain ninjas seem to be just gatekeepers, but in fact they are die-hard loyalists to Lord "Angel", so they accepted this extremely confidential job.
The order they received was to tell everyone who tried to enter Yuyin Village from here——
The ninja demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo-sama stopped seeing visitors, and from then on the Amegakure Village was restricted to entry and exit, thus keeping most foreigners out.
As for those who use other methods - such as diving into a lake full of scary monster fish - they have no control over it.
Yasujiro's dilemma is that, first of all, he doesn't want to deceive Anjuro.
Secondly, it is completely unreasonable for him to be the experimental subject of Sanshouyu Hanzo's son, and now he is guarding the gate of Yuyin Village. Even if he wanted to deceive him, he could not be deceived.
So he struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go back and report."
The others looked at him in surprise, and the eldest one stretched out his hand, as if to persuade him. After all, they did not receive such an order.
Although today's rain ninja is not as cruel as Hanzo's period, if Yasujiro does unnecessary things, he will inevitably be suspected, and he may not be able to continue to be a ninja in the future.
But fortunately, before they opened their mouths, they saw a familiar figure floating towards them.
"Lord Angel!"
"It's Lord Angel!"
They rushed to shout, and Anjiro, who had just taken two steps, immediately stopped in place, opened his mouth and watched the white paper wings getting closer and closer, and finally hovered above them, his eyes were calm, and he looked quietly towards
Cast your gaze downwards.
Anjuro glanced at these rain ninjas and found that there was no fear of the strong in their eyes when they looked at the angel, but a kind of fanatical admiration. He immediately had a general impression of this female ninja whom he had only heard of by name.
Considering that this woman had saved Yiyong's life and that she had provided him with the detonating talisman used to pay for the medical expenses, he bowed slightly to her in good faith, showing his sincerity.
Konan was rewarded with that friendly smile, and the memories of when she was with Yahiko and Nagato suddenly came back to her. Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and a warmth and sadness filled her body at the same time.
Except for the automatically flapping wings, her body seemed to be completely frozen in mid-air, just quietly and condescendingly looking at the other person.
Seeing this smiling face and the other person's warmth that could be felt even eight meters away, many things she couldn't understand - such as the legend about the "Sun of Hometown" and the unique atmosphere of that village, seemed to be explained.
.
This young, shameless child just stood there with a trustworthy and powerful aura that could awaken people's hope.
Isn't this what the sun gives people?
Isn’t this what the Rain Country lacks most?
[This is a natural leader...]
Xiaonan made a judgment instantly.
What Purgatory Anjuro possesses is exactly what she and Nagato do not have even if they have great power.
The only person she had ever seen who was similar to Anjurou was Yahiko, but even with the blessing of the friendship filter, she had to admit that this child had an advantage over Yahiko in this aspect.
[Be sure to let him join the Akatsuki organization.]
An idea suddenly arises, and then changes quickly.
[No, that’s not right! You must let him join Yuyin Village. 】
[The darkness of Akatsuki is not suitable for such a radiant person!]
This idea of the same model as Sarutobi Hiruzen came very suddenly, but it was inexplicably reasonable, as if an elephant suddenly broke into Konan's heart and then stayed there honestly.
After having this idea, she immediately folded her wings into pieces of paper and folded them into her body, and her body slowly fell to the ground.
"I……"
When she opened her mouth for the first time, Xiaonan's voice was a little hoarse, and she had to pause for a moment before continuing: "We finally met, but I didn't expect it would be here, Purgatory Anjurou."
Her tone was soft and steady. She was not as cold and condescending as when she first met Zhiyong, whose enemy and friend were unknown. She had the refreshing feeling of a diplomat. This was also a way to express goodwill.
"Yes. I heard someone say you were looking for me today, so I rushed over immediately!"
After Purgatory Anjuro left Konoha, he just arrived in the village today and heard about the "angel" coming, and realized that the place had indeed been discovered by the Amegakure Village.
After hearing that "Angel" intended to invite them to move into Yuyin Village, Xingjulang decided to come and see if the current Yuyin Village was suitable for everyone to live in.
Last time, the guy with the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths attacked him when he disagreed. The eyes came out of nowhere. No one knew if there was any new biological experiment going on in Yuyin Village.
For the sake of everyone's survival, Xingjulang had to ask clearly, so he came immediately.
"Um?"
But when Xiao Nan heard this, it was more than that simple.
"Did you come directly from that village?"
"Yes, I only got there half an hour after you left. It's really unlucky!"
Xiao Nan was silent for a moment.
Because she was worried about Nagato's health, after leaving the village, she flew back at almost full speed, which was faster than most birds, but she also consumed more than half of her chakra.
Except for Zetsu, her speed can be said to be the fastest in the Akatsuki organization.
But according to Purgatory Anjuro, he set off half an hour later than him, but arrived here less than five minutes later.
In addition, Nagato sensed that the chakra of Purgatory Anjuro was three times that of the last clone...
【It seems too powerful for his age.】
The last time I saw such a child was three years ago...
The way she looked at Purgatory Anjuro, in addition to the goodwill she had accumulated all along, she also paid more attention to him.
[At least better than Loquat Juzo.]
But in this case, what reason would she use to win this child from "Akatsuki" to Yuyin Village?
However, she forgot that Purgatory Anjuro never said that he came to join Akatsuki from the beginning to the end. It was just the kindness he showed that made Konan ignore this problem.
【Let Nagato meet him first.】
Considering that Anjurou himself and Yahiko have a certain similarity in temperament, she felt that she should be able to give Nagato a surprise. After they get along for a while and the relationship has improved a little, it will be convenient to say anything.
"Let's go, our leader wants to see you."
Don't be too late, just do it.
As Konan finished speaking, hundreds of pieces of paper rushed toward her and Xingjulang's feet, and a buoyant force slowly lifted them up.
It seemed that she planned to take Xingjulang directly back to the tower to meet Payne.
But Xingjulang's feet paused slightly, and a wave of hot air spread out, scattering the pieces of paper, but only scattered.
"Feel sorry!"
Anshourou smiled apologetically, "Although it's a bit sudden, I want to have a good tour of Yuyin Village. Can we walk? Of course, I will try not to waste time along the way! Please don't worry!"
He came here for inspection this time, so he came very suddenly, giving Yu Yin almost no time to prepare, just to prevent the other party from concealing the true situation inside.
Although the "angel" was kind to Giyu and gave Anjuro some basic affection and trust in her, the future of hundreds of people was related to him, so he had to be cautious and cautious.
"..."
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay."
If he walked faster, he would only be delayed for twenty or thirty minutes at most, and maybe Payne could make more preparations.
So she turned her head and signaled the Rain Hidden Gate to open the door, revealing a long cement bridge leading directly to the island in the middle of the lake where the main body of the Rain Hidden Village is located.
"Yasujiro, I'll take my leave first! If I have a chance at night, I will go back and disturb you!"
"I know! No matter how late it is, everyone will be waiting for you!" Anjiro replied excitedly.
He didn't know what the "god" wanted from Anjuro, but Xiaonan's kindness made him feel at ease.
Xingjulang laughed and followed Xiaonan along the bridge towards the steel jungle over there.
"Do you know that child?" Xiaonan asked.
Xingjuro said simply: "Yes, we had a chance encounter! He is a very courageous young man!"
"Is that so...then in this village, there will be many people who have had a 'fate' with you."
Xiao Nanyi pointed out something, then her voice became warmer, and she made an umbrella of paper to cover the two people's heads.
"Many people here are alive because of you. As the manager of this village, I should thank you on their behalf."
"You're too kind! I just did what I could."
Anjuro looked around and saw a very huge manta ray passing under the bridge.
When the manta ray walked away, he suddenly stood still, stared into Xiaonan's eyes and asked: "Can I ask you a question? It might be presumptuous."
"Say." Xiao Nan looked calm on the surface, but when she mentioned the word "presumptuous", she suddenly thought of a precocious little kid who once asked her about her hair.
[You can’t be more presumptuous than that kid, right?]
"Is your ability to manipulate paper a blood inheritance limit?"
[It is true that this is not a question you should ask someone you just met, but it is not considered presumptuous either.]
Many people have been curious about this question, so Xiaonan has nothing to hide, "I am learning a secret technique called the 'God's Paper Master's Technique'. But in terms of learning conditions, it is almost the same as the Blood Succession Limit.
It requires a certain genetic similarity to do it. What, do you want to learn?"
Considering that Anjurou is just a child, Xiaonan thinks it's normal to be interested in this kind of technique that allows people to fly.
"I have a junior who will definitely like this technique very much."
The "younger generation" Anjuro mentioned was Kasumashira Tokitoru Muichiro. That child spent most of his time looking up at the clouds in the sky. When there were no clouds, he would fold paper to pass the time and use up his excess imagination.
If Giyuu can let Tokitou have such a blood inheritance limit, then the relationship between the two of them will definitely improve quickly.
For the sake of Jiyong's interpersonal relationship, Xing Jurou was really worried.
"That's it."
Xiaonan nodded and said casually: "If he has wind, earth, and chakra, I can try to teach him..."
"Maybe it won't be so troublesome!"
Only now did Anjuro formally raise the presumptuous question: "Excuse me, can I have a piece of your hair?"
Konan stumbled, but fortunately the ninja's excellent balance allowed her to stop steadily.
This sudden sense of déjà vu gave her a familiar dizziness.
She slowly turned her head with some self-doubt, and when she saw those big eyes as bright as lanterns, she knew that Anjuro was not just talking, but had raised this question very seriously.
[Could it be that my appearance or something is a bit too much to please children? Especially a talented boy like this...]
Why are two of them asking me for hair?
Suddenly, a horizontal lightning flashed in Xiaonan's mind.
Yes!
She remembered that she had heard the name "Xing Julang" before!
The righteous friend who asked her for hair last time, and the owner of the talking crow, seemed to be called "Xing Jurou".
"Shouldn't you..."
Konan approached Anjuro with some gaffes and asked in a low voice: "Is it for your friend?"
"That's right!"
Anjuro admitted it frankly and optimistically believed that he could realize this wish.
"It's just that he doesn't know how to speak, so I did it for him!"
"..."
【If you can’t speak, then it’s absolutely correct.】
Xiaonan suddenly thought of the agreement she made with Yiyong at that time, and quickly replaced the top layer of slightly red facial skin with white paper.
[Xiaonan, look at what you promised the kid! Why does he still remember it now?!]
【No, we cannot continue this topic. 】
Xiaonan made up her mind and her voice suddenly turned cold.
"Tell him to ask me for it himself."
Xiaonan turned around suddenly and walked forward quickly, while Xingshourou was confused and had to speed up to keep up.
It’s a big step back, but I still have to write more often...
