[Hokage] Terukawa

Question: Dear Mr. Black Fox, how do you feel after completing the ultimate counter-kill against four root seniors who don't talk about martial arts?

Answer: Cool.Feel good.

Q: What a very concise and sincere answer!So, under the current progress, can you use as objective a language as possible to evaluate the enemy's leader Yang Yi?

Answer: I have no problem, but is this channel allowed to broadcast content related to swear words and personal attacks?

Q: Not very good.

A: That's fine.

I took a few steps back, exiting the encirclement of the four with the lightness of a gait my mother had taught me as a child, like any stereotypical victor.

Their last hope for a comeback - sneak attack tactics, disappeared with my slightly exaggerated performance.

"you……"

"Shut up," I said, "I thought mature dogs could judge for themselves when to bark and when to keep quiet."

So Yang Yi closed his mouth very obediently—the obedient one even made me feel somewhat regretful.

I obviously prepared more words that could poke his lungs.If it’s okay for him to talk to me, I guarantee that I can talk to him for three days and three nights and still gain the upper hand, but now... I can’t find a reason to talk to him.

But it's understandable to be so well-behaved. Who told his good teammates to be stained with my blood? I understand the idea of ​​"similar" best.

"Turn your hands behind your back—do as I say, don't do unnecessary things. Answer as I ask, and I ask before opening my mouth. If the seniors are willing to believe my sincerity, then this link is my initiative. And kindly exchange information with the seniors... Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to believe it, and I don't care.

"I, the captain of Konoha Anbe, code-named Black Fox, have a grudge against Danzo Shimura. I came here just to avoid the uneven border and to do a small B-level mission to destroy bandits. It's so complicated. I've been entangled with you here until now because I met unexpected people, had some doubts, and then decided to solve some problems-and thanks to you, one of my tasks may be overtime because of this. "It's about the task of buying souvenirs. If it's really overtime... Tsk, it's better not to overtime.Even the simplest tasks should be taken seriously.

...Wait, you can't relax, these people haven't been resolved yet, don't think about other things.

I flicked out my information, ignoring the weird eyes of these people.

"Maybe you're thinking, 'Why does this bumbling, sweet-talking villain talk so much crap?'"

I said to myself.Maybe they didn't think about it, but who made me the boss now?The boss is to learn to use the initiative to add drama to himself, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

refute?Of course, I am not a slave owner after all - as long as he dares.

I raced through a few thoughts in my head, but didn't have an immediate answer.

I just glanced at the hands and feet of the four people who were obviously dishonest due to this short silence, and snorted with a half-smile, and said: "Now, our cooperation continues. You go ahead and lead the way, and I will be a prisoner in front of you." Follow you guys well. Ah, once again, my blood succession is instant, and the effect looks like deflagration, so my guidance suggestion is...or kill me with one blow, so fast that I can't find any action opportunity, or..."

The current time is around ten o'clock in the morning, the clouds are very stable, and the sky should not change in a short time.If the deviation between my guessed position and the actual position is not too outrageous, then the time I left for Yang Yi should not be regarded as ample.

But does it matter?unimportant.

Because it is Yang Yi who should be anxious, not me.

"Either find a way to convince me, Yang Yi, to convince me not to turn you into four beautiful fireworks in front of the leader's door."

I heard a faint smile in my voice.

"In the next information exchange where I ask you to answer, you have to test my attitude at every turn, figure out my intentions like walking on thin ice, and then mix the answers into your answers, for you and your three friends... Or, family members, to find a way out."

Now the pressure is on Yang Yi.

I have incorporated some of the most basic interrogation techniques into the lines of my speech.Subject to development direction and personal likes and dislikes.I am far from proficient in interrogation, and I am even suspected of playing tricks in front of these former root ninjas. However, in order to survive, they have to "want" and "need".As the only person with language ability, I believe Yang Yi's desire to communicate will become unprecedentedly high.

I just want to verify an idea... I want to know, Jing Yi, Qing Yi, Yang Er, these three people who cannot speak, do they have any means of communication other than language and sign language codes?Can their thoughts be known by Yang Yi, the leader of the team?

It's important to me -- very important.

"First question, tell me what you know about the 'leader'? I haven't decided what method to take yet."

I adjusted my stride, the ninjas in Anbe always know this well.

Yang Yi made a nasal sound of "um", but didn't answer immediately.He fell into a brief silence, as if he was considering his words, and seemed to be sifting through the information he knew.

I don't care.

"...It's a female ninja wearing a mask. She behaves like an ordinary river country gangster. Considering the possibility of disguise, we can't clearly distinguish her origin. We can only speculate that she is a full-time intelligence officer with strength. Not very strong, but good at guessing people's hearts. The people who brought you up the mountain were just rogue robbers roaming around in this area. They would not easily surrender to a woman, but she balanced everything very well, from the beginning to the end, She didn't even take off the mask."

"Intelligence workers consciously 'clean' themselves."

I agree with their speculation.

"What about you? The gap between you and ordinary gangsters is like cloud and mud. I'm curious about the positioning you give yourself."

"It's the Nation of Fire's rebellion."

His tone was calm.

"We only used her as a springboard at first, and didn't pay special attention to it. When we realized something was wrong, it was too late to pretend, and it was better to play the role-in this way, we became her bodyguards."

"Smart move," I nodded, "go ahead."

"She did a lot of things in the river country, most of which were lackluster, but..." He turned his head sideways, and because he was walking at the end of the line, I could only see the tail of his black hair sweeping from his right shoulder to his left shoulder, " Have you heard of 'Xiao'?"

"A ninja armed organization in the Land of Rain. During the war, there was a sense of prosperity, but their leaders obviously overestimated the size of the Sansho Hanzo."

The time when this incident happened was almost in front of my eyes—it was about the time when my front foot was out of Konoha, and the back foot of Sansho Hanzo moved on Akatsuki, so I didn't get any relevant information in Konoha.

But everyone has eyes and ears.Along the way, I have listened to no less than [-] versions of "Sanjiao Hanzo Thunder Strikes to Annihilate the Spy Organization Akatsuki". The various moves and declaration lines of the characters in the story can be called a group of demons dancing wildly, but the ending remains the same - the Akatsuki organization was defeated. , and lost quickly, and failed miserably.

"Her methods are very clever-attacking civilians with bluff, and retreating to harass Yuren, plus some plausible clues and disguises-I saw her use various methods to cut off 'Akatsuki' one by one All retreats," Yang Yi's tone became firm, "So... I can be sure that her real purpose is to provoke the relationship between 'Xiao' and Yuyin and make them perish."

When the voice fell to the ground, Yang Yi paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was already a little calm: "The first question, are you satisfied with my answer?"

"It's okay. I also know that the two young ninjas I was locked with earlier are two of the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization." And they are all students of Jiraiya... But they don't need to know that.

Yang Er's body paused for a moment, probably because he wanted to turn around subconsciously, and then forcibly stopped his movements.

To be honest, even if I was at the end, I didn't have the energy to keep an eye on all of them at the same time, but I know that when talking about different clues, I should focus on different people, because everyone has different concerns The same - for me, this is both a test and a test.

Yang Er, correct.

I adjusted my stride, and then sighed with a half-smile.

"But I have one detail that needs to be confirmed - about the 'Sanjiao Hanzo Jixiao Organization', did it happen after she came or before she came?"

This is an extremely important detail - the root cause of the heavy damage to the Akatsuki organization is the fear of Sanshoyu Hanzo, so where does this fear come from?The completely spontaneous fear is only a possibility. Are there any other ninja villages contributing to the flames?

I need to figure out whether "Samshoyu Hanzo Thunder strikes to wipe out the spy organization Akatsuki" is a big play directed and performed by Yuyin Village, or it is just a chess piece and a chessboard in the hands of people behind the scenes.

The key to clarifying this issue lies in the position of the masked woman-there is no doubt that the person behind the masked woman is the one who planned all this.It's a mystery, but reversing the outcome by making assumptions is not as difficult as it might seem.

The Masked Woman has two origins.First, she is Yuren's own person, and second, she is a spy sent by other ninja villages.

If the masked girl is Yuren's own person, then there is a reasonable explanation for her secretly provoking the relationship between Akatsuki and Yuyin Village-Sanjiao Hanzo is afraid of Akatsuki, but suffers from being unknown, so she sends her subordinates to become the bandit leader , while taking in many hooligans and gangsters to cover up people's eyes and ears, and at the same time enlisting the rebels and rogues from all over the world to accumulate strength, and then use the name of bandit harassment to sow discord, cut off retreat, intensify conflicts, exaggerate, and stigmatize... ...In the end, Sanshoyu Hanzo was "forced to do nothing" and took action to destroy the Akatsuki organization in one fell swoop.

Due to the glorious deeds of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Oshemaru who were defeated by their subordinates as "Konoha Sannin", the external image of Sanshoyu Hanzo has always been associated with adjectives such as "cherishing talents" and "valuing younger generations" Together, but people's hearts are fickle. If Sanshoyu Hanzo has made up his mind to kill but doesn't want to damage his good reputation to the outside world, then all this is obviously very reasonable.

But no, that can't be the case.

Because two-thirds of the leaders I saw were still alive.

If all this is a big drama in Yuyin Village, then the ultimate goal of this drama must be "kill all three leaders" or "include those who can be incorporated, and those who cannot be incorporated will die".Under this premise, the fates of the three leaders of the Akatsuki organization are almost bound together, especially when I heard the conversation between the two when I was pretending... Obviously, the three are not ordinary friends , but can not only use each other as a support to live, but also use each other as a reason to die happily... Best friends?There should be no problem with this understanding.

It is known that one of the leaders of the organization died in the conflict with Yuyin Village, let’s substitute the remaining two... If I can survive this incident, I can’t find a reason not to take revenge.

Just like substituting Sanshoyu Hanzo, who has changed his mind, I can't find a reason not to kill the remaining two as soon as possible.One is to eradicate the grass and roots, and the other is to maintain his reputation of "cherishing talents", and he needs to kill all those who know.

Therefore, the true position of the masked woman who kept the two of them from killing could not be Yuyin Village.

Yang Yi paused for a moment, he seemed to want to turn his head to look at me, but at the end he was concerned about the rules I set, so he forcibly stopped his movements. His tall stature made this series of small movements look ridiculous and pitiful : "...asking this question means that you have come to the same conclusion as me.

"She's either a traitor from Yuyin, or a spy from another village."

He wanted to look back at me but stopped forcibly.Interesting reaction...was it accidental?

Yang Er's actions just now are exactly the same as his - meaning that some tiny details are exactly the same... Is Yang Er intentionally imitating him?Because of longing?

Speaking of which, the names of these two are also interesting, Yang Yi and Yang Er are like brothers.For Genin, the name is always special.

"Yes, there is no other possibility, but which one is yet to be verified."

I subconsciously glanced at everyone's actions, but unexpectedly found that everyone was indifferent... But this is also reasonable, the three team members all have unreasonable trust in Yang Yi, and the time they spent together is already too much long time.

It's really enviable.

"Second question, you just mentioned that you only used her as a springboard at first, so what was your original intention at that time?"

Yang Yi answered very simply: "It is to seize the city."

I was stunned for a moment: "Seize the city?"

"It's the Xingshou city next to it. We planned to kill the city lord and replace it, as our stronghold, in the name of bandits attacking the city," Yang Yi replied, "You don't think wandering around is fun, do you? Although places like caves can be used, I didn’t take them away from the roots to be a free savage.”

Xingshoucheng—the small city where I settled down.The lower reaches of Nanhechuan, the border of the country of rivers.The area is small, the population is small, the economy is backward, and there are few local products. The only advantage is the extremely high strategic position brought by the geographical location, so it has achieved another meaning of "high-profile".

There are many countries and people who pay attention to this city, but probably not including the country of the river itself—because I dare not, nor the Lord Xingshou himself—because it is meaningless.

"It turned out that it wasn't the case at all when it came to us," I laughed, "and don't you want to solve the troubles after defecting?"

"How do you know that this is not our preparation to solve the trouble?" He sneered lowly, as if he heard some outrageous joke, "And the pressure we are facing is not as great as you imagined, do you want to guess Why?"

"I haven't seen you on the ninja cards announced by the village and Anbu. This shows that Shimura Danzo decided to solve you by himself, without any power from Konoha."

I parted my eyes to look at the road ahead, it seemed to be the exit of a dark river, and the presence of a dark river naturally meant that there was a cave.

"On the other hand, Danzo Shimura doesn't want Konoha's high-level officials to know everything related to you guys.

"So, I'm quite curious about what tasks he sent you." I paused, "Is that also the indirect reason for your defection?"

Yang was noncommittal about this guess, and only asked lightly, "Do you want to know?"

"I think," my tone was light, "please tell me, senior."

The voice fell, and no one answered, but I had a strange feeling—as if it was no coincidence that the two people were silent at this moment.

But a tacit understanding.

The tacit understanding is good, the tacit understanding is right—because I clearly realize—Shimura Danzo’s attitude towards these rebels can explain at least one key point.

That is, the confessions of these traitorous ninjas can fundamentally overthrow Shimura Danzo's position in Konoha.

And I just made my attitude clear.

I want to know this "secret".

Yoichi was testing my attitude, so I expressed my blunt killing intent in a flirtatious tone, and told him that I wanted to put Shimura Danzo to death.

After a moment of silence, Yang Yi suddenly burst out laughing.Intermittent laughter hit my tympanic membrane, and I felt a different kind of excitement.

"I finally know why you didn't just kill us," he said while laughing, his tone was as hoarse and high-spirited as when he forced me to submit just now, I felt that he hadn't smiled sincerely for a long time, "cooperate to bring down Shimura Danzo - this is the real purpose of your willingness to stay with us for this journey.

"You threatened me to exchange information with you. One is the leader of this place, and the other is Shimura Danzo. That's why you introduced yourself again after you restrained us, and you seemed to have no intention of saying in this introduction' You have a grudge against Shimura Danzo'—you were almost on the verge of showing your intention to cooperate, but I was thinking about how to fight back, so I ignored this clue.

"As for the twists and turns, it's just to guide me to put forward the reason for cooperation - you don't know whether our killing intent towards Shimura Danzo is still as firm as before, and you don't know whether the conflict between us and Shimura Danzo is irreconcilable ...If we have given up revenge, then we can pretend to obey when you propose cooperation, and then fight back after you lift the threat.

"So, you must lead me to express my attitude towards revenge, and let me confirm that the contradiction between us and Danzo Shimura is indeed irreconcilable. We must be valuable to each other, we must use each other - such a cooperative relationship can be is the most stable.

"Only by leading me to take the initiative to send out cooperation invitations can you really feel at ease.

"Cooperation under these conditions is inefficient, but real enough—there is no reason for us to kill each other.

"If I'm not wrong—you don't have any cards to support your second comeback, right?"

"That's right, I don't want to rely on your conscience, after all, I never put all my eggs in one basket."

I simply stopped pretending and readily admitted.

"Also, I have an inexplicable intuition - if I miss you, I will never have such an opportunity again."

Yang Yi, whose idea was verified, did not give me an answer immediately.

I'm not in a rush...well, I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I stared at his back for a moment, then forced myself to redistribute my attention to each of them.

Can't relax yet...

Walking on the path among the mountains, the uplifted mountains on the east side are decayed and yellow. What is blocked is not only the oncoming hunting wind, but also the meager sunlight that most of the sun gives to this place.

"Squeak... squeak."

Stepping on the unmelted snow of Shanyin.The lowlands ahead were peaceful and white, with no life at all.

In the shadow of the dry forest, the icy water flow is accompanied by the same icy wind, coming from the darkness in the cave.

The river stones are pitch black, without moss, and it is difficult to find a glimmer of life.

The river was icy cold and went straight down without turning around.

Yang Yi stopped.

Immediately, I heard a deep, deep breath.

It must be heart-warming.

But for those who are spinning in circles, there must be nothing more suitable than this.

"Do you agree?" I heard him ask.

He kept his voice low, and I knew it was because the leader was right in front of him.

The river is still noisy, but the air is still.

After a while, he finally turned around without any scruples, and the smile in the black eyes fell into reality for the first time.

"Captain Black Fox of Konoha Anbe."

He pursed his lips and smiled, his voice low as if the syllables were coming out of his throat inch by inch, while an emotion called "joy" flapped its wings like a bird.

"In order to achieve the great cause of overthrowing the idiot Shimura Danzo - how about we form an alliance?"

The bird named "Joy" landed on my shoulder in an instant, chirping, and somewhat noisy.
