After walking around the shopping street and buying a bunch of gifts, the young man noticed that the crow on his shoulder was distracted and asked in confusion: "Kitahara, what's wrong? Do you want to eat anything?"
"Gah!"
Someone is following us!
Crow turned his head and looked at a corner, where there was a Tang Ninja boy sneaking behind them.
"You don't look like a bad guy!" Uchiha Itachi put down the things in his hands and waved to the Tang Ninja boy: "Hey? What can I do for you?"
"Of course!"
The young man Tang Ren had a bad temper and said loudly with a puffy face.
Perhaps because he was asking for help, or perhaps for other reasons, his voice was a little nervous: "Do you know where the woman in kimono in the village went some time ago?"
Itachi shook his head, not understanding who the Tang Ninja boy was asking.
The Tang Ren boy felt that he was pretending to be confused, and his mood became obviously a little irritable: "It's that dead woman named Kikyo!"
"Oh, she's back."
"Where did you go back?"
"Go back to where she should go." Uchiha Itachi glanced at the crow on his shoulder, nodded seriously and said, "I don't know when she will come back, maybe she will never come back."
"I understand, thank you."
The Tang Ninja boy lowered his head and left.
Uchiha Itachi suddenly thought of the person Shizune had been looking for for a long time in Tang Ninja Village: "Wait! You are the kid who helped her in the hospital!"
"Hey, you little brat, you're not much older than me!" The Tang Ninja boy waved his fist angrily.
"that…"
Uchiha Itachi was considering not knowing how to speak. The medical clinic in Yunin Village had been closed, and Shizune and Tsunade would return to Konoha soon.
He thought for a while and finally said: "Your name is Xiaodan, right? Sister Shizune has been looking for you, but she is going back to the village soon... If you don't want to be here, you can go back to Konoha with me and wait for her."
"I don't want to be with that dead woman Shizune!" Tang Ninja retorted, turning his back to Uchiha Itachi and wiping his eyes: "I already have a new home."
"you…"
"You don't need to worry about it!" The Tang Ninja boy interrupted Itachi and ran away from their sight, leaving only his name.
"Short paragraph or something, that dead woman Kikyo... ugh!"
"My name is Hidan!"
Uchiha Itachi's head tilted habitually: "He seems to be crying..."
Beiyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. If it were you, you would cry too!
Isn’t this child’s story the plot of a third-rate novel?
A miko from another world adopted a rebellious child, but when the child recognized the miko, the miko disappeared into his world...
The problem is, in this story, the crow who is the instigator, how come he feels a little bit like the villain!
That kid named Hidan...
Kitahara's eyes suddenly shrank, the name seemed familiar, and the crow's body instantly chased in the direction of Hidan: "Gah!"
Son, you stay here and look at things, don't move around...
I'm going to catch that kid!
"Kitahara..."
Uchiha Itachi only had time to stretch out a hand and saw that the crow had flown away. The young man curled his lips and sat helplessly on a stone pier.
The teahouse in Yunin Village is filled with the aroma of tea.
Due to geothermal heat, the climate of the Country of Izumi is warmer than that of most countries in the Shinobi World. The last batch of spring tea has been put on the market. In order to attract business, the owner of the teahouse boiled a pot of tea and placed it outside the store for the merchants coming and going.
drink.
Under the tent outside the teahouse, a man was sitting on a low table drinking tea. He looked very leisurely. As for the woman opposite him, her expression was a little cold. She was not used to this kind of lifestyle.
Konan glanced at the comfortable man at the table with dissatisfaction: "Orochimaru, what our organization needs is strong manpower, not orphans without any fighting ability. Not all children have the ability of Uchiha Itachi."
"Oh? Indeed, no one can compare to Itachi."
The man blew the tea leisurely and chuckled: "But haven't the orphans adopted by Jiraiya back then become very powerful now?"
Xiaonan: "..."
She really didn't have any position to refute Orochimaru's words. This rebellious ninja from Konoha Village was once Mr. Jiraiya's partner and knew a little bit about their past.
Orochimaru was one of the Sannin of Konoha whom she looked up to back then, and he was also a friend of Teacher Jiraiya. Konan was not yet ruthless and unfeeling.
Her feelings towards Orochimaru are a bit complicated, maybe both contempt and respect...
This time the organization was short of manpower, so Xiaonan went out to the club to recruit new members, and a group of Akasaka Scorpion and Orochimaru accompanied her, while Akasaka Scorpion went out to collect rags.
When she and Orochimaru were left alone, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
This guy quite fits the description of Teacher Jiraiya back then... Orochimaru really has no emotional intelligence, and he can choke people to death with just a casual word!
Xiaonan frowned and said, "Let me remind you first, everyone in the organization is very busy, but no one has time to take care of children."
"My men will take care of them."
Orochimaru didn't care about what Konan said. He had no intention of letting these children be attached to the Akatsuki organization for a long time.
Recently, he and Kabuto also realized that they didn't have enough assistants around them. However, due to the breakdown of their relationship with Danzo, he was in urgent need of manpower.
The Akatsuki organization cannot last long.
If it weren't for the reincarnation eyes that coveted and feared the leader of the organization, he would have left this irregular organization long ago.
The free tea in the teahouse seemed to suit Orochimaru's taste. He stretched out his tongue and licked the rim of the cup: "If possible, when people in the organization perform tasks, you can let them see if they can find some people with good talents or talents.
Have a blood child."
"No one would do such a thing except you."
Xiaonan gathered her clothes, shook her head and continued: "How long are we going to waste here? Are you sure that child will come back?"
"Will do."
The man nodded, and there was a hint of confidence in his pupils under the eye shadow: "I know these children very well. The first thing they lost and what they want most is home!"
"Even if the people in this family do all sorts of excessive things to them, put their bodies on experimental stands, and treat them as labor that can be discarded at any time, but..."
"When people lose something, they can't help but explore what they have lost. When they regain it, they will cherish it even more, and they will also be afraid of losing it again... ho ho ho ho ho..."
The paper flowers trembled slightly, and the woman felt mixed emotions. After a long time, she said: "Those... are just useless feelings."
"Xiaonan, you are wrong."
Orochimaru grabbed the teapot on the table, shook the empty teapot slightly, stretched out his arm suddenly, and took another pot of tea while the teahouse owner was stunned.
He poured two cups of tea with satisfaction before explaining aloud: "Those are the softest things in people's hearts."
"Some people like to display them."
"Some people..." Orochimaru paused and pushed a cup of tea in front of Konan: "They will hide them so deeply that they can't even find them. They are not sure whether the warmth is still in their hearts.
"
Xiao Nan's mind moved. She didn't want to be suppressed by Orochimaru's momentum, so she forced herself to calmly reach down and pick up the tea cup, and asked: "Are there people as cold-blooded as you?"
"Everyone has one."
"Because I have seen too clearly."
The man is sitting upright, an enigmatic image: "When I choose to pursue the truth in my dreams, those are just the trivial prices I need to pay for it."
Xiaonan slowly put down the teacup: "..."
Jiraiya-sensei is right, Orochimaru is often unreliable, and he will say things that are incomprehensible to people when we are chatting!
"Lord Orochimaru, I'm back!"
A shout came from the street!
A running figure fell into his eyes, and the conversation between Orochimaru and Konan ended. The fact did not go beyond his prediction. The boy named Hidan came back to find them.
Before Hidan decided to leave Yunin Village with them, he mentioned that he wanted to say goodbye to a friend before leaving Yunin Village...
The question is why did you attract a crow when you went to say goodbye to your friends?
Konan glanced at the dark, vicious bird that appeared behind the boy, and then at the man next to him. Are you sure Orochimaru wants to abduct this orphan?
