Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Is this guy okay? Why hasn't he come out yet? It's been almost an hour since he went in."

Naliko walked around the door of the house anxiously, mumbling incessantly. It was obvious that the nearly 10 minutes of waiting had exhausted her little patience.

Kurosaki Ichigo sat unhurriedly on a relatively flat stone a few meters away. His face was calm and he looked very leisurely and said: "Why are you in a hurry? It's only been ten minutes. You're already impatient to wait so soon."

"I'm just impatient. I'm just anxious. What do you want?" Nariko rolled her eyes at Kurosaki Ichigo and said loudly, "Aren't you anxious?"

"Do you think I look anxious?" Ichigo Kurosaki shrugged and pointed at his face. "You'd better be patient. After all, that guy from Kakuzu may have to prepare a lot of things."

"Humph" Naliko snorted coldly, then came over and sat down next to Kurosaki Ichigo and said unhappily, "You don't even know who I am anxious for, I really don't know a good heart."

Kurosaki Ichigo smiled bitterly, but wisely did not choose to reason with Nariko, but continued to immerse himself in his own affairs.

In fact, Kurosaki Ichigo is not a patient person, and even his pitiful patience is not comparable to that of Nari. However, he has devoted his mind to another thing, so naturally he waited very leisurely. .

The thing that made Ichigo Kurosaki focus was nothing else. It was the dynamic vision that suddenly appeared in his eyes when he was on the Toi Bridge. Kurosaki Ichigo was certain that he had never had this kind of vision before he came to this world. capable.

"What on earth is going on? This has never happened before."

Kurosaki Ichigo stared down at his hands and thought to himself. In his eyes at this time, the world was no different from usual, as if the previous situation where the entire world was slowed down was just his fantasy.

For nearly an hour, Kurosaki Ichigo stared at his hands so hard that sparks almost appeared. However, he still failed to enter that state again.

Ichigo Kurosaki scratched his head in distress and thought incomprehensibly: "Could it be that the method I found is wrong? Come on, think about the situations when this happened before. What do they have in common?" Thinking of this, Ichigo Kurosaki Mamoru quickly recalled.

"This dynamic vision has appeared twice in total. Once it suddenly appeared when dealing with Kakudu, and the other time was when Nariko designed a sneak attack on me. Both times, it appeared without my consciousness, and when it appeared The situation is not dangerous, at least when I didn't react, so that means..."

Kurosaki Ichigo was thinking, completely immersed in his own world. Seeing this, Nari was holding her hands on her shoulders and staring at the door of the house. The anger in her eyes was unclear whether it was directed at Kakuzu who had disappeared or she was thinking. Question Kurosaki Ichigo.

In this way another half hour passed.

"Your patience is really good."

Kakuzu's voice suddenly appeared behind Kurosaki Ichigo, causing him to wake up from his own world. In the next second, Kurosaki Ichigo's right hand smoothly reached into the ninja bag on his waist and took it out. One kunai, the sharp thorns of the kunai pierced into the skin of Kakuzu's neck by just a hair. At the same time, another kunai had fallen into his left hand, ready to show his terror at any time.

"The movement and speed are good, but a little too sensitive." Kakuzu moved his eyes downward and looked at the kunai in Kurosaki Ichigo's hand. The sharp edges shone with a cold light in the sun.However, Kakuzu's tone still contained a sense of control over everything, because countless black tentacles had stretched out from under the sleeves of his wide robe that covered his hands.Those tentacles were divided into two strands, one wrapped around Kurosaki Ichigo's right wrist, and the other wrapped up Kurosaki Ichigo's left hand and the entire kunai, "I am not your enemy now. Ally. Do you understand the word ally?”

Kurosaki Ichigo shook his wrist, and Kakuzu's tentacles consciously let go of him as if they were alive and conscious, allowing Kurosaki Ichigo to freely put the weapons in his hands back into his ninja bag: " Are you sensitive? I don't think so. Enemies and allies can transform into each other, and you happen to be the one who can complete this transformation in an instant at any time."

"I think I should change my view of you," Kakuzu nodded, let go of Kurosaki Ichigo's tentacles and slowly retracted his sleeves, as if they had never appeared before, and then he seemed to inadvertently He said casually, "By the way, I remember your previous weapon was a knife, why didn't you see it today?"

Kurosaki Ichigo's brows moved slightly, he glanced at Kakuzu but couldn't find anything wrong with his face and eyes, and then replied: "I need to hide my identity, so I put it away. Why do you miss it so much? I didn’t realize that you still have a fetish."

When he said this, Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes flickered, because what he was guarding against was not other people, but the guy in front of him who claimed to be an ally. Although he had not had much contact, Kurosaki Ichigo knew clearly that once he knew that he The first person to fall out with his identity must be Kakuzu.

"Fetish" Kakuzu was a little surprised when he heard this novel word, but from Kurosaki Ichigo's tone he knew it was not a good word, so he said unhappily, "I just hope you don't have weapons. Don't let me down. You also know that I am a person who can change from an ally to an enemy at any time, and you can also change from a living person to a corpse at any time and be thrown into the wild. Only wild dogs and insects will be driven by hunger. Body of interest.”

"I'm so scared," Kurosaki Ichigo said loudly and exaggeratedly, then pointed at his face that had returned to a calm state, "Look at my performance, does it make you feel physically strong?" If you are still not satisfied, you can only expect me to work harder next time."

Kakuzu sternly refused: "No, it won't be a show the next time you say this."

"Here we go again..." Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head helplessly.

Kakuzu glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo with a deep look. He could see from the evasive look in his eyes that Kurosaki Ichigo had concealed the real reason why he put away his weapon from him, so he deliberately changed the topic, but now he didn't want to talk to him anymore. Kurosaki Ichigo said: "Stop talking nonsense."

Kurosaki Ichigo whispered: "Can't you tell who is talking nonsense?"

But Kakuzu ignored him and continued: "I have taken away all the useful things here. This base can be abandoned. Next, we have to speed up."

As he spoke, Kakuzu raised his head to look at the sky and estimated the time in his mind: "Currently, the earliest ship bound for Shirane Castle is about to leave in an hour. Let's rush to the dock now."

"Wait a minute." At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo put forward a different opinion, "If nothing else, I didn't eat in the morning in order to rush on the road. It's already afternoon, so I have to eat first before rushing on the road."

Kakuzu frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious enough? I mean to eat first and then take the boat."

Naliko walked to Kurosaki Ichigo and stood slightly behind him. Her eyes were not as fearless as before, but she still looked at Kakuzu with her eyes wide open, expressing her support for Kurosaki with her own attitude. Saki Ichigo's words.

Kakuzu looked up and down at Ichigo Kurosaki and Nariko, with a dangerous aura in his eyes. Although he kept telling himself not to be afraid, Nariko still felt a little scared when Kakuzu looked at him like this. He shrank back involuntarily.

Kakuzu naturally had a clear view of Nariko's little moves, but he didn't care about Nariko's performance but focused on Kurosaki Ichigo, and Kurosaki Ichigo's performance did not disappoint him. In Kakuzu Under the terrifying gaze that made one's heart palpitate and tremble, Kurosaki Ichigo's face looked natural, as if the person looking at him was not a rebellious ninja who had killed countless people, but a beautiful girl who admired him.

"Do you know?" After a long time, a smile finally appeared on Kakuzu's face. No matter how you looked at it, that smile revealed a cruelty and coldness, but his face was covered by a mask, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice. Smiling, so Kurosaki Ichigo didn't notice it at all, "I even kind of like partnering with you."

Kurosaki Ichigo frowned: "What are you talking about? It's scary to say something like this out of nowhere."

"It's nothing, I just felt it." Kakuzu said nonchalantly, "After I defected from the village, I made a living by taking on various black tasks in the underground exchange. I also found many partners in order to complete the tasks. It's just that. It’s a pity that all the people I partnered with before are dead.”

"Why are you dead?" Nali couldn't hold back her curiosity, but Kakuto's next words made the hairs on her body stand up instantly.

"Killed by me." Kakuzu was still very calm, but saying such horrific words so calmly made it even more chilling, "Because I have a bad habit of wanting to kill people when I'm angry. So before I All my partners died in my hands. That’s why I say I like to be your partner, because I find it difficult to kill you.”

Kakuzu looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with excitement and cruelty in his eyes. Looking directly at this look, Kurosaki Ichigo did not doubt the authenticity of Kakuzu's words, whether it was about killing his partner or liking to partner with him. .

Faced with this situation, even Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but feel his throat go dry. He shook his head and opened and closed his mouth, making a sound without even knowing what he was saying.

"Well... let's eat first..."
