"What is your purpose?" Ming Jing asked curiously, why did he feel that this 'Shell' organization had some shadow of the 'Akatsuki' in it. But he was certain that 'Shell' had nothing to do with 'Akatsuki'.
Could it be that it was founded by the idiot fans of the ‘Xiao’ organization? Ming Jing guessed in his mind.
"I don't know," Diluda shook his head with a wry smile. Noticing that Ming Jing's eyes had turned cold, she suddenly panicked: "Please believe me, I really don't know! From the time we joined the organization, we have only one mission.
, is to monitor the ninja world."
"Then why did you kidnap Hinata today?" Ming Jing could feel that this woman did not lie to him, so he asked another question.
"Because of a deal," Diluda said quickly: "Our leader made an agreement with a young man with blue and white hair. We will kidnap the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family for him, and he will get rid of...get rid of you for us..."
"Get rid of me? So, your leader is sure to defeat me!" Ming Jing smiled and continued to ask: "How much do you know about that boy with blue and white hair?"
"His skin is very white...his eyes are always closed, yes! There is a magatama pattern on his neck." Diluda tried his best to recall, trying his best to provide clues to the mirror.
Ming Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "I probably know who it is. It's a coincidence that I came back just for him this time."
"I've told you everything I know, can I go?" Diluda asked cautiously when he saw that Ming Jing seemed very happy.
"That won't work, you are my prisoner now!" Ming Jing said with a smile. Diluda smiled sarcastically, not daring to say anything more, and followed Ming Jing back to Konoha obediently.
…
Jiraiya was sitting in the room, looking thoughtful. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to come back."
Ming Jing walked in slowly, and the first thing he saw was a group photo on the cabinet. Tsunade was wearing a traditional kimono, standing next to Jiraiya with a gentle look on her face.
"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the six months since I left!" Ming Jing withdrew his gaze, rummaged through his body, threw out a small purse and said, "This is considered part money."
Jiraiya caught the small purse and said with a smile: "You are too polite! Your Kurama family has already given it to you before."
"You two have gone through all kinds of hardships, and finally managed to make it through the clouds and see the moon." Ming Jing sat next to Jiraiya and said with emotion.
"It's been half a lifetime, just make do with it!" Jiraiya said gently looking at the photo.
"It's already this time and Tsunade hasn't come back yet?" Ming Jing asked curiously.
"I was already back, but a big incident involving the Hyuga family, Kurama family, and Uchiha family happened in the village. As the Fifth Hokage, she hurried out again." Jiraiya looked at the mirror with an expression on his face.
He said seriously: "You know about the kidnapping of Hinata Hinata two hours ago, right?"
"Well, that's why I came directly to you." Ming Jing asked seriously: "Have you ever heard of the organization 'Shell'?"
"What?" Jiraiya was stunned and said in surprise: "How long has it been? Another unknown organization has appeared! But I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but it's been too long, so I'm a little unsure."
"Don't you even know?" Ming Jing frowned slightly. Jiraiya had been traveling outside for decades, and he had heard about even the most secretive things.
"Wait a minute!" Jiraiya turned around and pulled out a big box from under the desk. He didn't even know how he fit such a big box into such a small space. After opening it, Jiraiya rummaged through it.
Get up, flipping through the pages while muttering: "This is from two years ago... This is from seven years ago... Hmm? Isn't this the sixth anniversary collector's edition photo album of Takayama Manami? Put it away, put it away! This is from thirteen years
...Huh? This is Okino Yoko's out-of-print photo album! When did I put it away? Move the position, this is Yoko-chan's last photo album before she quit the 'Earth Lady Team'!..."
Ming Jing looked at Jiraiya pouting his butt and digging through things, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He originally thought that this guy and Tsunade would get closer after getting married, but now it seems that Tsunade is probably being fooled by him! I'll remind Tsunade later.
Well, it is better to leave the photo album and other things to the management of young people.
"Found it!" Jiraiya suddenly pulled out a scroll and said excitedly: "This is the information I collected from my thirty-one-year trip to the Kingdom of Wind. It was an endless desert. I found a broken piece in a ruins.
The stone tablet. Because it is so old, some of the words are no longer clear, so I made a rubbing of the entire stone tablet. There are some things mentioned in it, but I am not sure whether they are related to the 'shell' you mentioned. It's just these words.
It's so old that I can't even recognize it."
"Let me take a look!" Ming Jing opened the scroll directly and found that the stone tablet was written in ancient language. It dates back thousands of years. In ancient times, there were no words starting with voiced consonants, and there were no closed syllables. Jiraiya could still read it clearly.
Understand. However, this did not trouble Ming Jing. When he was in the royal capital, he had communicated with some calligraphers. Among the calligraphers, there were people who specialized in practicing ancient sayings, and Ming Jing learned a lot.
"Can you understand?" Jiraiya asked with some surprise when he saw Ming Jing's appearance.
"I understand a little bit." Ming Jing nodded.
"What's recorded on it?" Jiraiya continued to ask.
"The ruins you went to are called Lunwang Temple, which is one of the ancestral temples of the Tiantai Sect. It tells the story of a monk named Cixuan. Cixuan was the most wise monk in the history of Lunwang Temple. The temple calls him the 'Reincarnation
"Arhat". But after Cixuan came back from a trip, he became very strange. He said that he only had a body left and his soul would return to the bliss of the West. He asked the monks in the temple to burn his body. But the monks believed that Cixuan was still alive, so there was no way to burn it.
Therefore, I rejected the method of living people." Ming Jing looked up at Jiraiya and asked with some confusion: "Is it because the word 'shell' is mentioned in it that you think it is related to the shell organization?
"
"Maybe!" Jiraiya said with some uncertainty, "You continue to interpret."
"For the next hundred years, Cixuan stayed in the temple. His seniority became higher and higher, and his temperament also changed. He was very open-minded to his disciples and polite to his peers. But he was ruthless to other temples. One of the nine Buddhist sects, the Consciousness-Wei Sect,
He was even more destroyed and his inheritance was cut off." Ming Jing frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Does a person's personality really change with age?"
"This situation cannot be ruled out, but it is rare for a monk to be so murderous!" Jiraiya said, holding his chin in his hand.
"Cixuan secretly established a shell organization to deal with temples with different ideas. Later, the Lu Sect, Jing Sect, and Yue Lian Sect were all destroyed by Cixuan." Ming Jing raised his head and said awkwardly: "Where did this shell come from?
I clearly believe in Buddhism, but I have become a devil all my life."
