[Naruto] To the underworld

"What? Do you want to wait until it hatches into a baby bird before taking it away?" Hidan shouted, "This is taking too much time. Don't worry about the egg and just send the bird to the royal city."

The girl shook her head and pointed at the luan bird in the cage, which was staring at the egg in her hand eagerly and worriedly. "This mother bird is very persistent with her children. If we leave the egg and take it away by force, I'm afraid it won't cooperate well." , if he gets hit head-on or dies on the road due to a hunger strike, the 6000 million taels will be wasted."

She deliberately added an accent to "6000 million taels" and frowned, obviously hesitating.

"Give it this egg and let it continue to hatch when it reaches its destination?" Hidan wanted to poke the egg, but the bird screamed in shock, and the girl quickly turned around to protect him from touching it.

This time, everyone actively rejected the proposal: "No, the birds cannot move at will during incubation, and the eggs must always be kept at an appropriate temperature and cannot be cold for too long. However, if you want to wait for it to hatch a baby bird, the time is difficult to determine... "

If he cannot accept waiting for half a month, a month or more, and the time spent on the task is not commensurate with the reward, then the task is a loss.

The girl held the bird's egg and stared at it carefully for a while, then carefully wrapped it with telekinesis and closed her eyes to feel it. There seemed to be a strange energy surging inside the egg. It was not chakra or mind, but it contained vigorous vitality. She handed the egg to the birdcage again, and the Luan bird nuzzled the egg with its head affectionately, and kept calling to her as if pleading.

"If the incubation takes too long, my two companions won't agree..."

"Are you about to break out of your shell?"

"One more day?"

"Two days?...Hey, is it really okay?"

……

Kakuzu and Hidan silently watched the strange exchange between one person and one bird, and then the girl conveyed to them the results of the communication with the bird.

"Two seniors, please wait two days at most. Within two days, the baby bird should hatch." The girl discussed with them, "Whether it is for the sake of 6000 million taels or the love of your companions, promise me, wait two more days." sky."

"You should know that there is no companion in the organization who loves that kind of thing..." Hidan saw the girl put on an innocent and cute smile again, and intuitively felt that she was going to act sweet and sweet again, and stretched out a finger to touch it. He put it on her forehead to prevent her from getting close to her, and threatened her, "Don't say disgusting words again, or I will kill you and still have this bird."

"Uncle Kakuzu——" The girl looked at the other person who really had the final say with a sense of grievance, her peach blossom eyes full of sincerity.

"It's really troublesome." Kakuzu snorted, opened the birdcage and took the Luan bird out, "Little girl, in two days, regardless of whether the egg hatches or not, you will be responsible for sending the bird intact to the royal city in exchange for a reward. Gold, otherwise——”

"It's up to you to do whatever you want." The girl didn't care about the possible terrible consequences. She happily took the Luan bird, put it back into the nest with the eggs, and touched its wings to comfort her. , "It's okay for now. Be good and hatch the baby quickly."

Hidan found a place to sit down cross-legged, and watched Kakuzu prepare for the camp. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Kakuzu, is it my imagination? I always feel that your attitude towards her has changed a bit..."

"It's rare that you can think about problems." Jiaodu, who had just picked up enough dry branches for making a fire at night, glanced at him coldly, "But instead of thinking about these useless things, it is better to hunt something and get some water. "

In the next two days, the girl almost became the Luan Bird's exclusive nanny, except for taking a bath in the river, using her deformed claws to help process the prey, and then handing it over to Kakuzu for roasting. She found bamboo fruits for it and fed it sweet spring water in bamboo tubes. Of course, in order not to interfere with the Luan bird's eggs, she kept a distance from it while feeding, trying to reduce her sense of presence and concentrate on observing whether the eggs were moving.

Kakuzu spent most of his time reading ancient books and occasionally looking around. Hidan was a little depressed, and kept repenting that he had not been able to offer sacrifices to the evil god recently, and would make up for it as soon as possible later. By the afternoon of the third day, he was really frustrated, and for a while he shouted, "Why haven't other teams come to catch the bird?" , and then encouraged Kakuzu, "The promised two days are coming soon. Since they haven't hatched yet, let's get on the road quickly." Seeing that he was too bored, the girl was afraid that he would affect Luannia and Kakuzu, so she had to pull him away from the sycamore tree. There was a fight.

Both came back a bit embarrassed, but no major damage.

Kakuzu glanced at his immortal partner who had obviously improved after the fight with his peripheral vision. He continued to lower his head and read a book. When the girl passed by him, he mentioned, "I will only wait until the last ray of sunshine disappears."

The girl looked up at the nest on the sycamore tree, and met the eyes of the Luan Bird. The bird seemed very happy to see her back and let out a loud and long cry.

The girl's heart moved, and she floated to the nest. The Luan Bird stood up and flapped its wings, revealing the radiant egg under its body. It was more dazzling than before, and the energy fluctuations were more intense.

Could it be that the little Luan bird is about to break out of its shell? The surprised and delighted girl stared at the cyan eggshell.

With a slight "click", small spiderweb-like cracks finally appeared in the eggshell. The cracks became bigger and bigger. Several pieces of eggshell fell off, revealing irregular holes. Then, a wet little head appeared on the top of the eggshell. He poked his head out of the hole with eggshell residue, opened his little mouth and let out a weak cry.

The girl laughed heartily.

The girl could only do this for the luan bird. After saying "sorry", she took the luan bird back to the cage again, but this time the luan bird did not struggle and resisted, but nestled obediently in the cage. Always looking at the girl's chest with gentle and loving eyes.

The newly born baby bird was still very weak. After cleaning it, the girl thought about how to place it for a while. Finally, she simply unbuttoned her clothes and put it on her chest, leaving only a small head exposed. It soon became He tilted his head and fell asleep.

"You want to carry this little burden with you? It's so small and so ugly that you can't tell it's a rare species like a Luan bird. It won't be sold in the short term." Hidan said with a sidelong glance.

"You're not interested in money, so don't worry about it." The girl looked at the tall figure in front of her, carrying the birdcage easily, and changed the subject with a smile, "Now that we have succeeded, maybe there will be a pursuer soon. The soldiers are coming to snatch it, so I’ll leave it to you to take action, my handsome Hidan-nii!"

Thinking of the sacrifice he owed, Hidan licked his lips and showed a bloodthirsty smile, "Ah, leave it all to me."

The three of them traveled all night, and as expected, they encountered an ambush shortly after descending the mountain. The four wandering ninjas who attacked were killed by Hidan on his own.

While Hidan was doing the ceremony, the girl fed both birds some fresh water, and put the baby bird in the cage to spend some time with the Luan. However, the baby bird seemed to be very afraid of Hidan lying on the ground and hid behind the Luan. The bird made an uneasy cry under its wings, so the girl held it in her palm and walked away.

The three of them didn't want to attract too much attention, so they avoided villages and towns and took small roads. But other teams pursuing the mission bounty were particularly active in chasing after them. A team of ninjas, a team of samurai, and a team of senior hunters ended up being annihilated without any suspense. Hidan didn't let Kakuzu and the girl do anything, and he waved the scythe with the smell of death in high spirits, enjoying the feeling of death in the ceremony, turning it into a strong pleasure, and becoming intoxicated.

That night, the three people slept outdoors. The girl used her power to induce the bamboo to grow fruits, which she fed to the Luan birds. She even broke some pieces and tried feeding them into the beaks of the young birds. She spent a lot of effort to find clean spring water.

Kakuzu and Hidan didn't go looking for food and just took the Hyōryō Pills. The girl couldn't stand the unpleasant taste, so she preferred to share the bamboo fruit with the Luan Bird, and also added a handful of chocolate candy balls.

The night was getting darker, and the Luan bird held its young bird with its wings, and the two birds, big and small, cuddled together and slept soundly.

"When those people claimed to be hunters, they always thought your expression was a bit strange." Hidan, who had gained great satisfaction from the day's killing, was still a little excited and wanted to chat with others, so he casually started talking. .

"Hidan-nii is very perceptive sometimes." The girl smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that the hunter was a little concerned."

"Aren't hunters just people who hunt animals and exchange them for money? Isn't it special for you?" Hidan asked curiously.

"Yes, where we are, hunters are a profession and a special class. Those who can become hunters are not ordinary people, but must have the ability to practice. Every year, the Hunter Association will hold a strict examination, and those who pass will receive the Hunter With a license, you enjoy rights such as free use of most public facilities in various countries, but you must also fulfill your obligations." The girl counted her fingers and listed, "For example, gourmet hunters who seek delicious ingredients from all over the world, and treasure hunters who search for rare and rare treasures. Hunters, bounty hunters who pursue wanted criminals..."

"You are a hunter, right?" Hidan affirmed.

The girl nodded, flipped her little hand, and a card with a double

"Little girl, what kind of hunter are you?" Jiaodu asked after being silent for a long time.

The girl seemed a little surprised that someone would be interested in this. Just as she was about to answer, her face suddenly darkened and she put her hand on the birdcage.

Kakuzu and Hidan also stood up in unison.

At some point, clouds of mist dispersed in the dark forest, and an uncomfortable cold atmosphere gradually approached.

"This time's opponent...is a bit interesting." Hidan picked up the scythe and became faintly excited again.

"Maybe there will be unexpected gains." Kakuzu also had a hint of expectation.

The girl calmly released a circle with a radius of 2 meters, and said softly to the two people around her: "Four are coming, one 60 meters from the 4 o'clock direction, and one 50 meters from the o'clock direction..."
