[Hokage] Terukawa

Yang Yi will become a lot cute when he is targeting others, but when he is targeting me, he will make a lot of comments with unclear meanings, which makes people upset... Maybe this is the result of an "old colleague" like Yakushi Nonoyu Special treatment?

I held my chin in my hands and enjoyed watching these "old colleagues" having fun.

I have already deduced the plan of the pharmacist No Naoyu to a great extent, and Yang Yi's words at this time can also verify my thoughts.

Pharmacist No Naiyu and Yang's team have never had the same information, and the most critical part of it is their identity—Yang Yi just knew that the "mask girl" is Pharmacist Nonaiyu, but Pharmacist Nonaiyu It was known from the very beginning that the four members of the "Pro-Guard" were Qianyang's small team.

After figuring out their purpose, she was extremely keenly aware that the "masked girl" was on Yang Yi's must-kill list, and she also expected that Yang Yi and the others would inevitably adopt the tactics of splitting up and attacking, so she cleverly used the outflanking The prudence of someone... betting that the person would enter the house out of prudence and find the bodies almost soaked in blood and the threatening note.

For a former root ninja, it is not difficult to come up with the name "Yaoshi Nonoyu", and his heart must be... extremely bursting, but he has no choice but to let go - what can he do, should he stop the mission immediately? Report to Yang Yi?But what can Yang Yi do?

"So, when the senior pharmacist found out that it was me, he panicked from the bottom of his heart—you thought I represented the gaze from Anbu, and that was completely beyond your expectations."

I curled up the corners of my mouth, half-smile.

"Fortunately, your reaction was very quick, and it only took a moment to realize that when I stood with Yang Yi and the others, what I represented would only be personal will - Anbu's eyes can't hold sand, but mine can barely .

"When you realize that, you really put your mind at ease."

"That's why Captain Black Fox asked you...'Why do you have to face the person who read the note?'"

Yang Yi's continuation at this time is somewhat tacit.He spoke in a flat tone, tilted his head slightly, and the warm-colored light couldn't melt his heavy-colored eyes.

"So that's the case. Indeed, only those who have read the note can see through your purpose."

"Negotiation." Pharmacist No Naoyu said with a smile.

"The only prerequisite for negotiations to start is that you won't be killed directly. You need to speak—even if it's just a sentence."

Yang Yi smoothed out the six notes one by one and placed them on the dry table.

"So you turn your back to the hole, face the inside, and clear out almost all the debris, in order to create opportunities for yourself to start negotiations."

"Skilled hunters like you, who are as patient as wolves and as vicious as sheep, can stand still and observe for days and nights in one place to ensure success. You are real experts in killing people."

Pharmacist Nonoyu nodded gently, his light-colored eyes were dyed warm and transparent by the warm light, which contrasted sharply with the cold words in his mouth.

"No matter who the person guarding the outside is, he will definitely do it after confirming that the person inside is in place. In other words, once the person inside is in place, my death will come. Therefore, I choose to confirm that person one step ahead of you. Is it in place.

"Captain Black Fox, to be honest—when you stopped and spoke to me, all I could think about was buying a lottery ticket after returning to Konoha."

"Although the method is crude, it is indeed useful. No one can deny your wisdom."

I changed back to my honorific title, and the way I looked at her became strange.

"...I wish you a lottery ticket and win the jackpot."

She wants to go back to Konoha?

I glanced at Yang Yi from the corner of my eye.He was quietly looking at the neatly arranged notes, God knows what he was thinking.

I look away.

As far as Pharmacist Nonoyu is concerned, returning to Konoha is not even a matter of thinking about it in the short term.Because whether she can go back does not depend on whether she wants to or not, but depends on Yang Yi not letting go.

Before she succeeded in capturing the city, it was impossible for her to have the chance to return to Konoha.

Yang Yi seemed to stop thinking.He didn't look up, but let out a vague laugh at the right time—it was just too perfunctory, and it probably couldn't even be considered a laugh.

He lazily said: "Then I wish you a smooth return to Konoha, dear Miss Pharmacist."

"There's no need to be so formal between alliances, right?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu's smile widened a bit.

"At any moment, at least at this moment, we are standing together - do you want to shake hands again, just like it is written in the book?"

"No. After thinking about it carefully, I think our current relationship is not so much an 'alliance', maybe a simpler 'cooperator' is more appropriate."

Yang Yi raised his head and glanced at her, without any expression on his face, he just changed his posture leaning against the edge of the table.The new posture looks much more comfortable.

"Be simple and frank, there's nothing wrong with it—you don't want to be stabbed to death casually, and we don't want to be forced to indulge in illusions after falling asleep one day... Now that we've said this , why don't you just open it up a bit more?"

He tapped on the table.

"I promise you, after taking down Xingshou City and before dissolving the cooperative relationship, Xingshou City will be your shelter. You can use Xingshou City as the center for intelligence gathering activities, and you can even adopt children or even open private schools in Xingshou City Teach your homework, but... you cannot return to Konoha until Shimura Danzo is killed. In exchange, we will also do our best to protect your safety during this period."

Pharmacist No Naoyu was slightly taken aback, his lips that were originally pursed and smiling opened, but he didn't utter a syllable.

"Captain Black Fox may not mind acting as a messenger." He tilted his head slightly and raised the corners of his lips to me, "What do you think?"

"..."

I looked into his black eyes for a few seconds, and finally withdrew my hand that was leaning on my chin.

"Thank you."

So he turned his attention back to the pharmacist Nonaiyu, the silent woman.That way of speaking one word at a time seemed to wedge every word he uttered into the flowing water, into the rocks, and even into this extremely calm but warm space——

"After the matter is over, Xingshoucheng is our home—'we' does not only refer to us," he stepped back slightly, and the warm-toned light shone behind him, where I saw three Glittering eyes staring at his back, "And us."

I moved my gaze from his back to his face, and found that his black eyes were staring straight at me...and Yakushi Nonoyu.

I subconsciously looked behind him again, but there was silence, and a little bit of warm light lit up in the three pairs of eyes, and the warm light gathered on their leader's back again.

Doesn't that stop it?

A feeling called "absurd" filled my mind within a breath—does Yang Yi really know what he's talking about?

I observed his facial expressions, trying to find any details that violated the sharp lines on that face. My observation skills may not be top-notch, but I am proud of it——

"What are you looking at?" He asked me, "Captain Black Fox."

"Don't move," I replied.

The man tilted his head—chih, pretending to be tender—and his tone seemed to be confused: "But you are better at using conspiracy, aren't you?"

"You can see I'm suspicious of you. I'm not surprised," I straightened up, "so why?"

"Beyond your comprehension, huh?"

"I don't deny it. You must be clear that once you succeed in capturing the city, you will all be held by others. Leaving aside the question, Senior Pharmacist, why do you believe that I will stand by your side? As long as I leak the news, you, you , none of them can survive, and I can go back to Konoha and claim credit for the reward. Your promise is so abrupt that I can’t understand it, may I ask if this is the trust of the root people?”

I said a bad joke with a straight face.

"I want an answer within my understanding."

"If you want it, I'll give it to you."

It seemed that it was because he finally got the word out——Yang Yi suddenly became extremely straightforward, and he didn’t make any circles when he spoke, as if he had suddenly opened up some key points, making a thousand foxes in his head The tail no longer wags.

"I know that you will habitually presuppose the worst development trend, but you don't have to be so anxious to deny your personality and value. Instead of imagining those illogical, unrealistic and extremely unlucky situations will appear It's better to think about the present, and think about the lower-level things that determine the way you speak and do things, such as...

"For example, 'What will it do for you and those around you by betraying us?'"

I didn't answer right away.As soon as Yang looked at me, he chuckled lightly and continued following the set questions.

"No man is an island, and what people do always involves more or less...'people who love me' and 'people I love', just like the Ninja Ninja family is to you, my family For me, for the children in the orphanage and for the pharmacist... Captain Black Fox, the 'spear' has never been the only one who has a stable cooperative relationship."

He smiled at me, his voice was so deep that it seemed to flow from the depths of his chest, and his expression was unprecedentedly gentle.

"It's time for you to look down at your 'soft spots', or would you rather call them 'armor'? I don't care, but you have to know that whether it's 'soft spots' or 'armor', it always depends. whole body."

All Konoha executives know that I am a direct descendant of Namikaze Minato...Yoichi is right.

A voice in my ear said this to me.

If I betray the pharmacists Nonoyu and Yoichi... It is true to hunt down Renren, but colluding with Renren to assassinate Shimura Danzo is even more unforgivable.Minato, Kushina, Kakashi... will all be implicated by me, it is inevitable, but Minato and Kushina should be Hokage and Mrs. Hokage to realize their ideals and wishes, and Kakashi should have An infinitely bright future, at least don't wrinkle your face into a bitter melon.

So I stood up straight: "...I will do my best."

"Okay." He looked at the pharmacist Nonaiyu again.

The smiling blond woman watched Yang Yi's whole process of convincing me.At this time, she was standing a little far away from us, rubbing the sleeve of her left hand with her right hand, looking a little lost in thought.

After a while, she said, "You know exactly what I need... If I open a private school in the city, I hope you can provide asylum as promised."

"We will, but I think it's also important to remind you that you are our number one protection target."

Yang Yi said.

"You can understand, right?"

"That's enough... This is enough. I won't have any dissatisfaction with getting such a promise."

She finally seemed to relax a little bit, and there was a sour smile on her face that I had never seen before.

"In my impression, you've never liked to talk too much... I hope your strengths haven't changed too much, Yang Yi. If we can succeed this time... haha, I can't imagine what the days after that will be like of."

"Not being able to imagine is not necessarily a bad thing. We need to put all our energy into the present moment." Yang Yi said calmly.

...Having said that, do any of you really know anything about city planning or city management?

My smile remained the same, but my heart began to complain quietly.

Anyway, if things go well...you have to find a few related books for them to read, so as not to get them when the time comes, but their eyes are smeared, and they all rely on blindness to get started.

It's better to hold Buddha's feet temporarily than to rush ducks to the shelves.

As for those who don’t have a family... Water Country is one, and Konoha can be counted as one—I already have two families, so it doesn’t matter if I have another nominal family with them.

Most importantly, they mean business.

Yakushi Nonoyu was still discussing some details that had little to do with me with Yang Yi, and I listened to the sidelines, thinking about Kakashi's mission for a while, and thinking about where to go to Yang Yi and the others for a while. Find some books.

Looking out from the entrance of the cave, you can always see the whiteness like gauze and mist.

It started snowing again.

...Speaking of which, the espionage expert's stronghold is really well chosen, leeward and concealed, and the earth and rocks are considered solid. With the veins of the dark river, it will be extremely convenient to destroy when necessary, and at least [-]% of them can be directly avoided. Finishing work.

The murmur of discussion at my side gradually subsided, and I withdrew my gaze from looking around: "The discussion is over?"

"I'm missing you." Pharmacist No Naoyu blinked his eyes—it seemed that he was really in a good mood, and he even had enough time to joke with me.

I grinned: "I will try my best not to look like a tool man. Anyway...thank you."

The first half of the sentence was lackluster, but the second half of the "thank you" was addressed to Yang Yi.I've thanked him twice in a short space of time - no doubt I'd love to send him more.

Because he gave me the role of "messenger" lightly, the role can be large or small, but the position is indispensable, and it solved the problem that I was worried about from the beginning-"price" in disguise.

To be precise, it is a question of "if the action fails, we will pay a completely different price".

The worry is not because the price to be paid is too great, but precisely because it is too small... so small that it is so different from the other two parties that it makes people feel uneasy.

If the operation fails, it is a lucky ending for the Yang squad to embark on the road of exile again, and the greater probability is that they will be directly besieged to death—death without a place to die.

As for Pharmacist Nonoyu?According to her disposition, she either does not do it or does it absolutely. Now that the rebellious act has been exposed, suicide is the perfect choice--Shimura Danzo has been placed under house arrest, and he can no longer handle her weakness so freely.

These are two shadows walking on the cliff bridge.They can't retreat, they can only move forward; they can't fail, they can only succeed.

Because this is their only "life gate".

Compared with them, my situation and the price of failure are as ridiculous as fishing but being dragged into the water-yes, but it is only to the extent of "wet clothes".

motivation?Not strong enough.cost?Not miserable enough.My role here seems to be more "coerced" or "handout" than "cooperator".

Who would believe in this kind of person who can withdraw at any time in the last fight?

——If I can't do it myself, how can I ask such two people to do it well.

If the cooperation is achieved like this...the hidden dangers are endless.

They need to be given a handle.A handle that is harmless if it is not uncovered, but will increase my price once it is uncovered.

That's what I'm struggling with, and that's what I'm thinking about.

Yang Yi caught and fixed this, so I have to say "thank you" to him.

Messenger - the role can be large or small, but the location is essential.My name appearing in their letters is the additional price.

The price is still not equal, but it is no longer disparity.From now on, I am really standing with them.

Yang didn't have to do it, but he still did it—isn't this a roundabout way of showing favor?

"Everything is going well," he nodded slightly, "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking about how to let those two 'Xiao' go," I said, "Senior Pharmacist is useless to keep them. If possible, I hope they have figured out a way to escape by now."

"..." Yang Yi was silent, his expression was a little subtle, "Can't we just kill him?"

Pharmacist Nonoyu came out from behind: "Of course you can kill them, but I don't recommend you to kill them—they are students of Jiraiya. If Jiraiya finds that they are all dead, things may not go as you and I hoped direction of development.”

She turned her head to look at me again, showing an awkward yet polite smile: "Captain Zhaohe's hope may be in vain. They were seriously injured in the battle with Sanshoyu Hanzo, and their mobility was very poor. I specially used The scrolls sealed their chakra. Not to mention escaping...it's hard for them to even stand up."

"Well, to be honest, I also stuffed a lot of ninja-hating civilians into that warehouse, very noisy ones," Yang Yi added, "so they probably didn't have a good rest... Anyway, it's me no."

He paused and coughed lightly.

"It's hard for them to escape...so it's really not possible to kill them directly?"

Pharmacist No Naoyu: "...Beforehand, I don't want to gamble on whether Zilai will find out the cause of their deaths."

Me: "... Where did they offend you?"

"Hmm... Is it okay to almost cut Jing Yi in two with a strange pupil technique that has never been seen before? I almost killed him, but unfortunately, Jing Yi stopped him."

Yang Yi let out two "haha" laughs, then turned around and waved to the three teammates who were standing not far away.

"And... what is the reason for the students of Jiraiya? Even Jiraiya can't say anything about the death caused by insufficient strength? How about killing them and blaming Sanshoyu Hanzo?"

...so heavy to kill.

Yang has a very strong sense of responsibility and a desire to protect his three teammates. Touching his teammates is equivalent to stepping on his bottom line-he is very serious in wishing those two to die-well, I He also used his teammates to threaten him, hoping that he would not bear such a deep grudge against me.

If you want to keep those two people, you have to change your thinking.

A plan takes shape in my head.
