Volume 1--Seeds in Troubled Times Chapter 149--Return
"Sasuke, Sasuke, where do you think Yu Ling has been these days? I've never seen him in the village."
"You idiot, haven't you seen him outside the village?"
"Yeah...bastard, what did you call me?"
"idiot."
Sasuke and Naruto were aimlessly wandering around Konoha Village. Of course, this was all in their free time after daily training.
but……
They haven't seen Yu Ling since the holiday, and each of them has lost a certain ferocity when practicing. Although their strength is slowly increasing, their moves have not made any progress.
"Yu Ling... Without him to teach me how to practice, I wouldn't be in the mood to persevere. He won't be hiding somewhere and playing secretly by himself, right?" Naruto stared straight at Ichiraku Ramen, with a look of frustration on his face.
Hiding everywhere.
"Big idiot... Is Yu Ling that kind of person?" Sasuke denied without hesitation, and then took the lead into the ramen shop. "Uncle Hands, two bowls of supreme barbecued pork miso noodles."
"Eh? Okay." Naruto was still not too happy, but those negative emotions disappeared the moment he stepped into the ramen shop. "I'm going to start!"
"It's not over yet, why are you so anxious..."
"Hey, you two brats are here again! It's been a long time since I last saw the handsome boy who is usually with you." Shou Da greeted him cheerfully, slowly pouring soup and cooking noodles, his hands flying on the operating table.
"We don't know where he is..." Naruto, whose eyes were blank, couldn't help mumbling, playing with two chopsticks with his fingers, his head hanging down and his back hunched over the table.
"Oh! That's it. Don't worry, little Naruto. He is so good and he will always come back. I heard that you two can't beat him together, right?"
He took out the spoon and tapped Naruto on the forehead.
"Ah? It hurts! Who said we can't beat him..." Naruto jumped up with his teeth and claws bared, stepped on the stool with one foot, and choked with sobs.
"Naruto, you're not afraid of embarrassment... I'm still afraid." Sasuke pulled Naruto down mercilessly, smashed him on the stool, blinked hard, and tried to squeeze back the water droplets that almost fell.
Yes, that genius who cannot be defeated by two people together...
Even if friendship is put aside, the knowledge and abilities Yu Ling taught them are enough for them to call them master.
When the master disappears, how can the apprentice not feel sad?
What's more, these are two children who are not familiar with the world, and their feelings are direct and they don't hide it.
"Haha, don't worry! Come on, come on, eat some noodles, and continue practicing after eating!" The hand-made uncle took out two bowls of ramen with several extra pieces of meat in them, and put them in front of the two of them like coaxing children.
Regardless of whether his hands were oily, he rubbed them on their heads.
They looked at each other speechlessly, Naruto was still sobbing like he was venting his anger, while Sasuke covered his head and started eating.
"Sasuke, you are a cold-blooded creature...you are inhumane, you are ungrateful..." Naruto stared at Sasuke, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He simply pointed at Sasuke and cursed, his nose dripping uncontrollably.
"...Big idiot." Sasuke's hand holding the noodles couldn't help but trembled. He pretended to be calm and swung his chopsticks with his backhand, hitting Naruto in the face. "Eat the noodles well and practice later."
"Ugh... Sasuke is not human..." Although he was still cursing, the temptation of ramen was right in front of him, so Naruto chose to close his mouth and immerse himself in eating the noodles.
…
"Are you all still holding on? We'll be in Konoha soon. If we can hold on, we won't rest." Kakashi took the lead, carrying Yamato, and turned to look at Jugo Kimimaro, who was also carrying someone, and so on.
"I can persist...but how do we get back to Konoha?" Suigetsu drank water vigorously while waving his hands and pointing at Kakashi.
"Let's go back, or do you want me to carry you back?" Kakashi glanced coldly, Suigetsu couldn't help but trembled, and accidentally spilled a little of the water glass in his hand.
"No...I mean, we are not from Konoha, so how can we go back to Konoha..." Kimimaro and Chonggo simply ignored this question... For almost half a month, they have been getting along with Yu Ling day and night.
, so that the two of them subconsciously believed that they belonged to Konoha and Yu Ling...
I really haven't thought about this issue.
"How are you...yes, your identity is that of prisoners captured from Orochimaru's stronghold, which is the same as trophies. Of course you can go in with us." Kakashi narrowed his eyes and turned back, ignoring
He ignored them and continued on his way, really treating the four of them as prisoners.
"You..." Shuiyue was speechless. This identity was the most reasonable. Naturally, he couldn't refute...
However, I just can’t reconcile myself to it.
He had just been freed from Orochimaru's captivity, and now he was arrested and imprisoned by Konoha. Apart from not being tortured, there were no changes.
It seems even less free.
"Ahem... don't worry, I... ahem, I won't let you get caught." A hoarse voice came from Zhongwu's back, and Yu Ling, who rested his head there, also slowly bounced
Open your eyelids.
Although the voice was so small that no one in Konoha heard it, the four people who originally belonged to Orochimaru heard it clearly.
"Eh? What are you going to do?" Shui Yue couldn't bear his impatience anymore. His upper body turned into water and floated in front of Yu Ling, and asked in a lowered voice.
"I have my own way, you guys... hurry up." Fatigue and physical damage prevented him from recovering for a while, and he drooped his eyes again and fell asleep.
"Eh? Yu Ling, Yu Ling!" Shui Yue couldn't stand this showy attitude, and slapped the back of Yu Ling's head impatiently, but was directly grabbed by Xiang Ling's lower body and dragged back forcefully.
"Coward, don't bother yourself. Yu Ling~ If you can't wake up, are you responsible?" When she mentioned Yu Ling, a blush appeared on Xiang Ling's cheeks involuntarily, and her voice softened a lot.
"I...che, you big nymphomaniac."
"I'm thinking about Yu Ling~, and also Yu Ling~'s subordinates. Right?" Xiang Ling slowly changed his face, hugged Shui Yue's lower body in his hand, and deliberately flirted with her.
Eyes, he quickened his steps a few steps and rushed to Yu Ling's side. His eyes couldn't help but drift towards Zhongwu's back.
"You idiot, let's go, don't let others see the problem." Yu Ling said that he could bring them in without letting other ninjas know about it. Obviously that was not a clear path.
If there are no clues in the four people's reactions now, I'm afraid even the Fourth Hokage won't be able to save them.
"Coward." Xiang Ling pouted, leaned in front of Shui Yue and stuck out his tongue, and then jumped directly into another team.
…
"Uchiha...Itachi!" Minato scratched his forehead and delayed for a while before calling out Itachi's name.
It's like...forgot.
"Here." Itachi's calmness was naturally not comparable to that of Minato, who was usually very nervous. He just twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally, then jumped out from the darkness and squatted in front of Minato.
"Go and pick up your captain at the door. They should be arriving soon." Minato stood up, pointed in the direction of the Konoha gate, and waved.
"Yes." The ANBU's execution ability was clearly demonstrated at this moment. Before Minato's hand could fall, Itachi's figure had disappeared, turning into a black shadow that shuttled across the top of the house.
"Captain...Yamato? Then, Yu Ling should be back too. Just in time, my dear brother is worried that no one will accompany him to practice." Thinking of this, thinking of his brother, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but smile softly, masked
The corners of Xia's mouth turned up unconsciously, and the unstoppable tenderness was revealed in a cold-blooded ANBU squadron leader who had killed countless enemies...
"Captain... the ANBU has really piled up a bunch of documents, just waiting for you to come back." After saying that, he disappeared by the roadside, waiting for the ninjas who returned in triumph.
…
At the other end, behind Kakashi and others.
"Captain, why don't we meet up?" A somewhat tired voice dragged in the forest, unable to keep up with the rhythmic and consistent pace of the four people.
"too close."
"Ah? What do you mean?" A fat man touched his bald head, and he could feel the deep confusion through his mask.
"You two... have your IQ eaten by a dog? Sometimes you can't detect something if you look closely." The only female voice came out. She was always taciturn and took the initiative to explain. This was one of the few times.
"Nonoyu, why are you...?" The tired voice came out again, but this time it was ruthlessly interrupted.
"You still have the nerve to say that? You usually have to translate and explain what the captain says. Who knew that when you came back, you were like an idiot. You kept asking questions inexplicably, making the fat man not stop. If you two don't shut up...
...I...I..." Nonoyu pushed up his glasses angrily, turned his head away with an unhappy expression, and deliberately took two steps down, throwing himself at the end of the line.
"Nonoyu, that's all." Taking root, the captain of this team turned his head unexpectedly. A pair of sunglasses stared at Nonoyu, and then moved to Shanfeng.
In addition to the indelible fatigue, there is also something indescribable.
"Following." These four people are the team that Danzo thinks about day and night.
Except for the four of them, it can be said that the entire ninja world does not know of their existence.
The people Danzo released were all familiar to them, and they were all stunned by just using some small tricks.
That is... no group found them.
"Captain, then why are you doing this..." Shanfeng still couldn't hold it back, he forced his eyes open and said again leisurely.
"Cover."
"Cover?" Shuhiro Hanaoka repeated in a low voice, his mind still empty, but there was still no result.
"Cover all the sources of intelligence in this ninja world! As long as Lord Danzo knows, others will definitely know, and then our tracking will be useless!" Nonoyu punched Shanfeng on the forehead with his fist angrily.
, impatient, but still explained.
"Ah~ Captain, what are you going to do? Can't even Danzo-sama know about it?" The pain took two seconds to reach the nerves, and the mountain wind let out an unintentional cry... He continued to ask as if his brain couldn't move.
