Naruto's two-color pupils

Chapter 23 Ode to the Peacock

I don’t know why, but I reached into my pocket and happened to touch my forehead protector.I took it out and stared at the black forehead protector.

Zeren looked at me and said nothing.

"I'm a genin now." I looked at it and smiled.

He also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“It’s better to wait until we get back to talk about this kind of thing!”

I have actually already thought about where to wear my forehead protector.I threaded one end of the forehead protector through a short strap on the side of my clothes and tied the other end there.The forehead protector hangs down and wraps around my waist. The iron side with the logo of the Kingdom of Wind is hung on my thigh, forming a diagonal ring.Zeren turned back and didn't look at me.

Then, he walked directly down the hillside.I knew what he was going to do, so I followed him.He put his hands in his pockets and looked straight ahead with a smile as always.I just watched the road under my feet to prevent the rocks from making me roll all the way down the mountain.He walked towards the village calmly, without any sense of nervousness.

"You are so brave... Zeren..." I said softly.

"What's there to be afraid of when the ace is here?" He still looked straight ahead and walked forward quickly.

"What trump card?"

"us."

"Is this the trump card?" I couldn't believe it.

"Calm down, Hinata." He persuaded me with a smile.

"With a guy like Pan Youlang around, no one can be calm..." I complained angrily.

He suddenly stopped and looked back at me.He put one hand on his waist, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was difficult to describe in words: "Hinata..." He called me softly.I responded a little strangely, and he added: "No matter what happens, you'd better not stop me, you know..."

I winked, crossed my arms and looked at him weirdly. "what you up to?"

"You don't have to worry about what I want to do." He half recovered, but still looked back at me, with a kind of hunger and deceit in his eyes.

"You must make it clear..."

"Well..." He slightly grinned the left corner of his mouth, "Don't mind if I kill people - you also know..."

I stared at him. "You kill people wherever you go, right?" I asked with disdain, because I really don't like those inhuman monsters who take pleasure in killing people. "I remember that you seem to be - no, you like killing people." I deliberately Say the words "seem" and "dislike" abruptly and with emphasis.I recalled the strange look of pain on his face when he talked about how many assassinations he had killed in the Kingdom of Wind.But now I'm starting to suspect that it's all fake...

But I still can't believe that Ze Ren is that kind of person...

But he still answered me calmly, and this time he once again, yes, once again - had a strange expression on his face.But this time was a little different from the last time - this time, he was smiling, but the smile was stiff and full of hatred and disgust: "I don't like it... but regard it as a common occurrence, because This is my job and I have to adapt. What’s more, my hands are already stained with blood..."

He turned around and faced me head on.

I gritted my teeth and almost trembled.

"It's no different from a monster..." I said through gritted teeth, my voice trembling.

He lowered his head, closed his eyes and smiled. "What... So that's what you were thinking... You can understand me as a monster, but the one who is more monster than a monster should be the 'black leader' of this country."

I didn't expect him to say such a thing.I was a little surprised and looked at him.

At first, I thought the "black leader" he was referring to was Gaara Sandagaki, the fifth Kazekage of the Land of Wind, but I was wrong.

"That is the most dangerous man in the Kingdom of Wind," he said, his tone full of murderous sarcasm and hatred. "His purpose is to eliminate those things that hinder the economic and social development of the Kingdom of Wind."

"And you are his subordinate." I said.

He raised his head slightly and smiled.

"It's not entirely wrong to say that. But remember, Hinata, I am Kazekage's special assassin. I mainly obey Kazekage's orders. By the way, let me make a digression. From now on, the twins will also They will do my job. They will make me experience the disgusting side of this task better..." He had a ferocious look on his face, "I heard that girls are more sensitive."

"That's right, Zeren." I said calmly, knowing that the twins he was talking about were Ji and Yao.It's perfect for Ji to perform this kind of task. She knows many things that we don't know, such as what darkness is...

This time, he smiled. "Just understand."

"So, how did you carry out the assassination?" I asked curiously.

He turned around and continued walking forward while answering my question: "I am better at poisoning, because it is a method of staining clothes, and it is efficient, but it cannot be practiced." But I stood still. Didn't move.

As I savored his words, I felt that he was implying something.

"I poisoned 16 people..." There was a hint of pride in his tone, which made me feel sick.

He tilted his head slightly, revealing a sinister eye: "Sixteen, Pan Youlang is the 16th."

"I wish you success." I decided to lighten the mood first. Zeren was so eerie and creepy.Of course, I can't continue to despise his dirty killing methods. After all, this is his job.But I don't know why he would accept such a job.

Is it a rich reward?Ze Ren does not look like a money-grubbing person.Or are you forced into helplessness?The Kingdom of Wind has outstanding talents, so no one must force him.Or is it because you get a sense of satisfaction and pride from doing this kind of thing?Zeren himself has said he isn't, but I'm still not sure.The last way to say it is that it has all three.

We have arrived in the village.

"I think there should be no ninjas in this place." I said to him suddenly.

He didn't look back, but stopped and asked me, "Who can be sure?"

The two of us stood in the middle of two wooden houses, with the river in front of us, and a small bridge made of wooden planks in the distance.Zeren walked to the water's edge and looked into the water.I looked around this place for a long time, and there was a fragrance of wood all around, mixed with the smell of fish and vegetables.I saw smoke coming from the roof before, maybe someone was cooking.The two of us stood there in silence.

"I can." I said calmly, "This is not a ninja village. There are only ninjas in a ninja village."

At this time, I heard a rustling sound.I turned around, and at the same time, Ze Ren also turned around, and we looked behind us together.

It feels like the sound of people's clothes rubbing against each other.Because she is a ninja, she had special hearing training when she was still in the ninja school. I still remember that Yumo has always been able to get very good results in this area, but because of her pride and arrogance, she did not Become a genin.This was well deserved and not unexpected.

The sound is gone.

We haven't entered the village yet, but from this point of view, someone has already discovered us.I turned and looked toward the back of the house.Ze Ren didn't make a sound and took a few steps forward and came to a place very close to me.At this time, there was another sound. This time, it was definitely the sound of people talking, I was very sure.

I suddenly heard a shout from the right, which seemed to be intentional.Then, when I was looking over there, a girl with light blue flat bangs waved

He rushed towards me with a blunt wooden sword.She held the sword in both hands, her face was twisted with anger, and she walked straight towards me without wearing shoes.There was a bunch of colorful things behind her, but I didn't pay attention at the time.Without thinking in front of me, he picked up the wooden sword and struck at my waist from left to right.I didn't think of getting out of the way for a moment, but habitually dealt with her as a ninja - I stretched out my left leg and kicked the wooden sword away. Her hand grasped the sword very loosely, and it took only a light blow to remove it. Lost.A look of horror appeared on her face.I didn't say anything, but took out my right hand and pressed her neck, knocking her backwards to the ground.

She didn't expect it at all, and she didn't have time to resist. Even when I reached out to grab her, her body was unstable. Only then did I realize that what I was dealing with was just an ordinary girl, not a ninja.

Dust flew up and her back hit the ground hard.She coughed, so I let go.

She covered her neck with her hands, curled her body into a ball and rolled around on the ground, looking very pitiful.

Zeren walked to the distance and picked up the sword, then walked next to me.

At this time, I took a step closer and observed the thin raider carefully.Her hair is short, blue in the middle, and the tips of her hair are a kind of turquoise, just like the color of the lake that she saw before.There is a small braid on each side of the head, tied with a hair chain with pearls.With an unusually thin body, the bones of his arms almost protrude one by one, appearing outside the skin and flesh, and the skin is even inside the bones.In comparison, I seem to be quite plump, even though many people have said that I am skinny.She was not so much wearing clothes as she was wearing a silk cloth, with a piece of body tied a little below her neck, and it was long and stretched all the way to her knees.Her pants were very loose, reaching to her ankles, and were fluffy, as if they were full of air.

I was suddenly surprised to discover something creepy - I saw a blue-green thing on the girl's back before. At first, it looked like a peacock's tail. I thought it was her sticking it on or inserting it. In the pocket.Later, I discovered that the feathers on the peacock tail, which was a full meter and a half long, actually grew on her waist.The feathers were poking out of the clothes and the base of the tail was standing in the flesh - it was horrible.

The large fan-like feathers are covered with blue eye-like patterns, which are very gorgeous, exactly like the tail of a male blue peacock.

She gasped and looked at the two uninvited guests.I think she belongs to this place.

Ze Ren frowned and looked at the girl with the same strange eyes.

"It seems you are not as kind as you thought..." Zeren said to me pretending to be calm.

And I'm still looking at this girl on the ground.Her body is small, but judging from her face, she is probably about the same size as us.Just looking at her height and build, she is probably only about 7 or 8 years old.

"Kindness is a word that cannot be applied to people like you!" the girl suddenly shouted at us.

"I never said I was kind." I replied disdainfully, and looked at Zeren, who had an imperceptible smile, "Not killing people doesn't mean you are kind."

"I underestimated you." Zeren sighed.

At this time, a middle-aged man holding a rake ran out from behind the house. His face was dripping with sweat and his skin was tanned.He ran to the opposite side of us, 4 or 5 meters away from us, panting, his hands trembling, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Strangers, we have no enmity against you. Please let this child go! She is still a child!" he said to us.

We looked at each other helplessly and smiled, and Zeren said to him, "This is what we should have told you."

The man blinked and looked at us in disbelief.

"It is true that we have no grievances against you, but why did you let a girl with no fighting ability attack us?" Ze Ren imitated his tone and said.

The girl jumped up suddenly, her "tail" twitching, snatched the sword from Zeren's hand, stepped back a few steps, stared at us, and pointed the blade at me.

The middle-aged man put down what he was holding and ran over, grabbed the girl's shoulders from behind and asked her: "Do you know this group of people? They don't look like robbers!"

"I don't know!" the girl yelled angrily, "but they entered the village without our consent. My mission is to protect this place." She said innocently.

A boy with short light yellow hair showed half of his head from behind the house. His face was pale and his eyes were full of fear and surprise. His eyes were almost gray-white.His lips trembled, and his originally beautiful face looked thin with fear.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and murmured: "Sister, I don't think they are hostile..."

The girl turned her head in horror and looked at him.

"Go away! Bai Yougui!" she shouted, "You are still a child, don't come over!"

I was almost out of breath. The boy also had a long peacock tail sticking out from his waist behind him, but his was snow white, the tail of a male white peacock.

He said nothing.He lowered his head, his hair covering his eyes and nose.He bit his lower lip, and slowly, two lines of sparkling tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

After struggling with the villagers for an hour, we finally made our intentions clear and were finally settled in an empty house with no one living in it.They felt relieved when they learned that we were not from the city, and treated us as guests.After the meal, the sun was still high in the sky, but the light had dimmed slightly.

"We are here to find this person," Ze Ren took out a book that was wrinkled because it was soaked and pointed at Pan Youlang's photo. "We saw him opening a rift in the air, and then brought us in here. "

Sitting opposite us were four villagers, all of whom were respected teachers in this village. One of them was an old woman.The old woman raised her eyes with her hands, looked close to the book, and finally opened her mouth and said in an unhurried tone: "I know this person, but I don't know his name. He is from the city. , because the country has taken a fancy to something in our village and has always wanted to get it..."

We looked at each other.

Such a small village is not rich, so what can the country need?

"What year is it now?" I asked.

The numbers they said surprised me, but I believed what Zeren said - this is the future world of our world.I calculated it several times and found that the time here is 79 years different from the time we have there.Ze Ren also looked at me in disbelief and touched his hair.

"What is Pan Youlang looking for?" Ze Ren asked without knowing.

At this time, the old lady suddenly groaned, beating her chest and making a "wuwuwu" sound.A middle-aged man stood up and helped her out.The man holding the rake came to our ears with a nervous look on his face and told us: "The country is looking for those two children. As you can see, they are different from humans because they are combined with the genes of peacocks." life."

We looked at each other again.

"In the past, the state mixed human genes with animal genes and conducted experiments. These two children were used. In the end, the experiment failed," he sighed sadly. "Originally, the state wanted to get rid of them. But we don’t want them to die, and we don’t intend to violate their mother’s will. They are the granddaughter and grandson of the old lady. We have been living in seclusion here over the years, protecting them. Now I don’t know why, the country is looking for them again... "

"Pan Youlang is not from this era," I whispered to Zeren. "He obviously wanted to take these two back in the name of some country. Pan Youlang also said before that his purpose of arresting me seemed to be In order to 'meet a person'. Maybe Pan Youlang also wanted them to 'meet that person'."

Ze Ren nodded.
