Naruto: The Holy Maiden of Dawn

Chapter 27 This is meaningless
Suddenly I heard very light footsteps outside, and it can be judged that there are a lot of them, and they are all well-trained.

Zhiyu didn't say a word, just pursed her lips, and glanced out of the door with the corner of her eyes.

Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you know that there are no less than five people guarding there, and they are only guarding outside, with no intention of attacking in.

Zhifeng was vigilant, lowered his voice and asked, "Who?"

Zhiyu didn't intend to hide it intentionally, she still used her usual volume and said, "It's the person of Orochimaru."

She didn't care at all, and even went to the door, opened it and asked the people outside, "Are you back?"

The people outside the door were all wearing hoods, only two eyes were exposed, and they were wearing Otonin forehead protectors, and they were also uniformly dressed in Otonin's ordinary attire.

One of them seemed to be the leader, and when Zhiyu asked, he bowed his body and said respectfully: "Master Oshemaru is already on his way, and he will be back soon."

Zhiyu asked again, "Where's Jun Malu?"

The person replied again: "Jun Malu has just been sent back!"

Zhiyu nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhifeng, and said, "I want to see Junmalu!"

The tone sounded like he was discussing, but what he said did not contain "discussion" elements, and the meaning was to go with him.

"Yeah!" Zhifeng nodded happily, and walked over to stand beside her.

The two of them walked one step at a time, one behind the other, in the dark and damp passage, and the Otonin followed behind.

Finally, Zhifeng couldn't hide his curiosity, and quietly asked: "Their forehead protector..."

Zhiyu replied: "I heard that Orochimaru built a ninja village, but I don't know anything else!"

"Oh!" Zhifeng sighed in his heart as he responded, it seemed that she hadn't been back for a long time, she didn't know many things, and didn't care that much.

After walking a dozen more steps, Zhiyu pushed open a very ordinary door next to it, and a very weak voice came from inside, asking, "Who is it?"

It was dark inside, Zhiyu walked in without any hindrance, lighted the candle on the table with ease, and said to Jun Malu who was lying on the bed: "It's me!"

"Zhiyu..." Jun Malu wanted to struggle to get up, but instead of succeeding, he coughed violently, with blood stains on his mouth.

Zhifeng saw Jun Malu like this for the first time, followed him in and stood next to Zhiyu, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Zhiyu sat on the chair next to the bed and said, "He has been ill for many years, and the medicine stone is useless. Now it is considered the limit."

The tone was too normal, without pity or regret, and didn't even choke up because he couldn't bear it.

Jun Malu stretched out his hand towards Zhiyu, but when he was about to touch her fingertips, he retracted weakly.Looking at Zhiyu's face, he asked, "Have you chosen someone to replace me?"

Zhiyu shook her head: "Not yet! Because, we need to find someone to replace Bai first."

"White?" Jun Malu's eyes showed a little confusion.

"She's dead!" Zhiyu's tone was still emotionless.

This made Zhifeng startled, and began to wonder if Zhiyu had a "heart".

According to her, Bai and Junmalu grew up with her and have always been by her side.But...how could she speak so lightly?News of death?
Surprised like this, Zhifeng asked: "Aren't you... not sad?"

Zhiyu turned to look at him, and replied, "I can't cry!"

"..." Zhifeng stood there in a daze, hardly knowing what to say.

But Jun Malu said: "So that's how it is...it's Bai's turn this time..." Looking at Zhiyu again, he was very relieved: "It's good that you didn't cry! When I die, you won't cry, right?"

Zhiyu still replied: "I probably won't be able to cry!"

"Okay... that's good..." Jun Malu said, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if he was smiling.

From Zhifeng's point of view, this is very abnormal.Even if others don't cry when they die, but Bai and Junmalu are almost her closest people, how can...

Even after thinking so much, Zhifeng finally only asked one question: "Are you... all right?"

Zhiyu shook her head: "It's okay!"

Jun Malu seemed to know what Zhifeng wanted to ask, and said helplessly, "Zhiyu won't cry! She hasn't cried since she was six years old."

This is not normal!

At least Zhifeng firmly believes so.

"In the future, will you replace Bai?" Jun Malu looked at Zhifeng without any doubt on his face, and said with a smile: "You are so lucky! I have never seen Zhiyu be so sincere to anyone , never even evaded your questions, and never lied to you."

Zhifeng opened his mouth, hesitant to speak several times, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

But Zhiyu said: "I never told you a lie! The only thing I want to do is whether I want to answer!"

"No! At least one sentence is false!" Jun Malu was so sure: "You said that you wished to kill Oshemaru-sama, this sentence must be false!"

Zhiyu sneered: "I will really do that! After I settle the old debt with him and draw a clear line, I will really kill him on a whim!"

Jun Malu still shook his head: "You won't! Because you are kinder than everyone else!"

If Zhifeng heard similar words in other places in normal times, he would definitely complain violently.After all, even from his point of view, Zhiyu was not a good quarrel, during the month in Konoha, he saw a lot of other people bumping into her, and the end was not optimistic.

But Jun Ma Lu actually said that she was kind...

Suddenly someone opened the door and came in, reporting: "Miss Zhiyu, Master Orochimaru is back!"

Zhifeng was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"

He is fast because he has a sky-defying pupil technique, which moves almost at the speed of light.But Orochimaru is a mortal, how could he come back so soon?For an ordinary ninja, this distance is a distance that needs to run all day long...

Zhiyu seemed to see his confusion, and said helplessly: "He is very perverted in this respect! Using such and such techniques, he can be teleported far away without paying attention! Of course, he is not as fast as you!"

However, Zhifeng always felt that although the last sentence was really a compliment to him, there was always something that made him feel very uncomfortable?

"Cough... that... I can also slow down!" Zhifeng said without thinking.

"No need!" Zhiyu stood up and walked out, and said, "It's good that you are like this! No need to change!"

When the words fell, he had already gone outside.

Zhifeng was still in a daze when he heard Jun Malu say: "She likes you..."

Zhifeng was stunned again, and seemed to spend a few more seconds to digest the true meaning of this sentence.Finally, with a helpless smile, he shook his head, turned to Jun Malu and said, "I like her too! And...you too! You don't have to deny it, I'm a man, you can tell it!"

The corner of Jun Malu's mouth was curved, he closed his eyes weakly, and said in a weak voice: "My... is meaningless..."
