[Naruto·Itachi BG] Reverse Black and White II

"Ah, that's actually what happened..."

Feng Lan was "escorted" by five and a half (A Fei was a "substitute", counted as half) members of the "Akatsuki" organization, and headed for the destination - Payne's stronghold. Before leaving, a few people took the opportunity to catch the two human traffickers who Feng Lan had thrown into the local police station. The genjutsu cast by Itachi himself ensured that they would fully explain the cases they had committed and would not reveal the whereabouts of the "Akatsuki" people.

When he was bored on the road, Feng Lan accidentally or unintentionally chatted with his "old acquaintance" Kisame about his own process of "drawing a sword to help when the road was rough":

"Am I not the most wanted criminal in Konoha now? So, when I was pretending to escape, I paid special attention to the wanted information posted in various places..." She shook her head and said proudly, regardless of whether Kisame was listening or not, anyway, She actually told Itachi, "... Of course, later I discovered that with the photo on the wanted poster, Konoha would not be able to catch me for a hundred years. But, that's all for another day. …”

The amazing thing about ID photos is that acquaintances can guess who the person in the photo is at a glance; people who don’t know them can’t even guess the number.

"...However, after entering this area, I gradually discovered that in addition to my stunning internet celebrity face, who posted announcements to the world and overwhelmed the ninja world, there were also many missing persons notices on the bulletin board. Most of them are young and beautiful girls, and occasionally there are young and strong men, but there are relatively few..." Feng Lan's face gradually became serious, "After all, our world is not set up without tragedy, so I ruled out the possibility of ghosts committing the crime. I concluded that there was an active criminal gang nearby. Then, I temporarily lived in this town anonymously, conducting overt and covert investigations to investigate the truth..."

"...You are really idle..." Kisame couldn't help but complain after hearing what she said. As a rebellious ninja who also works part-time as an enthusiastic citizen and meddles in other people's business, I'm afraid this is the only one Uchiha Fenglan has and no other branches.

At this time, they were walking through dense woods. The long night was coming to an end, and the morning light was dim. A red glow appeared on the horizon, reflecting the sky into a gradient color from magenta to indigo, which was gorgeous and dazzling. Smoke was everywhere deep in the forest, making the beautiful light of the morning sun a little blurry.

Weasel glanced over calmly, and saw Feng Lan's already delicate face in the early sun, adding a layer of scorching charm, her face was radiant, like a thin layer of makeup and lotus shining in the water.

He silently lowered his eyes a little.

Feng Lan smiled heartily, seemingly not hearing Kisame's innuendo, and replied nonchalantly: "Ah, after all, Konoha no longer assigns tasks to me, so I still have quite a lot of free time at my disposal."

Kisame snorted lightly, not bothering to argue with her anymore.

Feng Lan continued: "Then, after some investigation, I found that the missing girls all have one characteristic, that is, they have weak family ties, and even if their family members are missing, they will not try their best to find them. Therefore, I initially It was concluded that an acquaintance who was familiar with the girls’ home situation might have committed the crime, but after repeated searches, no intersection of interpersonal relationships between them was found..."

"...Later I discovered that the girls were all lost on their way out alone, such as traveling, collecting mountain treasures, visiting relatives in neighboring towns, etc. The common point is that they all passed through the nearby woods. . I wanted to guess whether they met someone on the way to their destination and were tricked into telling them their family situation unintentionally, and then they were targeted and abducted."

"In the deep mountains and old forests, who wouldn't make people wary when talking to strangers? It's nothing more than opening hotels, restaurants, B&Bs and other service industries necessary for travel..."

"So, you dressed up in disguise, pretending to be a down-and-out young lady who had fallen out of the family to visit relatives, and used yourself as a bait?" Kisame told her her plan.

"Yes!" Feng Lan smiled with squinting eyes and answered simply. She said, feeling a little aggrieved for no reason, and said unhappily, "I walked around in the nearby woods several times and my shoes were all worn out before I found that house. From the meatball shop in question.”

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?" After sleeping for a century, Ah Fei finally woke up. When he heard Feng Lan talking about the teahouse, he came over and pestered her in an extremely exaggerated tone. Feng Lan asked, "Afei didn't even notice it. It's really Kanna-chan! Oh no, it should be called Feng Lan-chan now... Feng Lan-chan, tell me, how did you know that store has it?" questionable?"

Feng Lan's eyelids twitched.

If she didn't know A Fei's true identity, she might still be making fun of him along with him; however, when I think about it, this is Xian Er who makes everyone turn around with his exaggerated acting skills, while he is hiding behind the scenes to control the overall situation. , insidiously and triumphantly playing tricks on countless people, Feng Lan was furious.

Hiss, my hands are so itchy, I really want to tear off his vest...

"...You can't tell it's because you're stupid. There's no other reason. Go ahead and leave me alone!" Feng Lan roared angrily, reaching out and slapping A Fei aside as he approached her.

A Fei, who was pushed away by Feng Lan, squatted next to the root of a tree, took a broken dead branch and drew circles on the ground, and muttered: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Feng Lan Jiang scolded me...she They think I'm stupid... they don't even like Ah Fei, he is a bad boy that no one wants..."

Feng Lan: "..."

This familiar operation is inexplicably similar to her "Lan Shi" method of pretending to be pitiful. Should she also reflect on it, is she as greasy and eye-catching as this one when she is doing weird things?

"Didn't I say before that I pay close attention to all kinds of information posted on the bulletin board?" Feng Lan ignored her coquettishness and continued, "That tea house is not the only one I found in the woods, but it made me focus on it. The reason is that he posted my wanted notice on the bulletin board, but did not post the missing person notice that was issued earlier; while other hotels and pubs have more or less posted some. So there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place. , 80% of the time it’s because the boss is too guilty to post it. After all, facing photos of the victim every day, no matter how strong your psychological quality is, you will inevitably feel panicked..."

"That's it?"

"Of course not! The bulletin board is just the most preliminary reasoning." Feng Lan tilted her head and said proudly, "The store looks dilapidated from the outside, and it is obvious that it is poorly run and has no money to repair it; besides, when I entered the store After that, I found that there was dust all over the table, not to mention the various paint chippings and corners that had not been repaired... When I was in Konoha, I also visited a teahouse that was not doing well, but the old lady who ran the teahouse But he kept his humble little shop neat and spotless. In contrast, it is not difficult to see that the fat uncle had no intention at all."

"...Looking at his appearance and dress, I guess the boss has never seen poor working people who are struggling to make ends meet. Everyone is so hungry that they have yellow faces and patches all over their bodies. Who is as fat as him and still wears new clothes?" Feng Lan curled his lips as he spoke, probably secretly scolding the fat uncle for being a fool for not even pretending to be decent.

"Especially his hands..." she said, stretching out her hands and spreading her fingers for comparison. The long reflection reflected on her face seemed to have scratch marks, "Human hands are the easiest to To reveal one's true identity and profession, no matter how similar the appearance is, the skin texture, joints, and the position of the hand calluses clearly hint at the true condition of its owner... Therefore, in order to hide the identity of the ninja, over the years, I spend a lot of time on hand care..."

Itachi had been listening silently, and when Feng Lan said this, his attention naturally fell on her hands. Her hands were soft and slender, with slender fingers and smooth and fair skin. Such hands could only appear on a pampered daughter-in-law who was inexperienced in the world, but for a ninja, it was the most unattainable luxury. But he knew that time had carved too many cruel marks of growth on her hands, and she had been holding back her tears, silently applying the scar-removing medicine to the scabbed bloody mouth, and leaving the wounds and bleeding wounds on her hands. The tears that have passed are sealed in one stroke. It almost makes people forget how many scars she had under her skin, which was as intact as a newborn.

He slowly closed his eyes, frowning imperceptibly, and clenched the hands in his sleeves unconsciously.

When Feng Lan was talking about her glorious experiences just now, she always felt that from time to time a line of sight passed over Kisame and fell directly on her. But when she tried to trace that line of sight, she only saw Itachi's calm expression. From the side, he looked intently, and there was no sadness or joy in his pure black eyes, with an almost ruthless indifference that echoed his current personality.

Sure enough... is it an illusion?

Feng Lan didn't realize it and took back his hand, still talking to himself: "... His hands have thick joints and thick calluses on the palms and fingertips, indicating that he is engaged in heavy physical work using tools, such as carpentry. , lumberjacks and the like. With such hands, let alone making meatballs, you would be disliked if you worked in a ramen shop."

"Then it's possible that you're overthinking it. Maybe the boss took a part-time job because the tea house didn't make much money." Although Kisame answered Feng Lan's words, the person he was looking at was Kakuzu, implying innuendo. Very strong.

Kakuzu pretends not to know.
