[Naruto] To the underworld

Chapter 36 Where the white lily of the valley once bloomed

The Mikita group traveled under the stars and night, arriving at a place called Sekirei Village at noon the next day.

When the girl saw the smoke curling up in the valley from a distance, she was a little surprised, "Hey, wasn't this village completely wiped out by you... cough?"

Kakuzu, who was not far away from Hidan, said in a deep voice: "They should be those who moved here to mine the ore later."

He and Hidan did not go that way, but ran along a stream in the other direction, climbed a mountain road on stone steps, and finally entered an abandoned village. The place is full of desolation. Some houses have collapsed and been damaged due to fighting, some have been burned down, and some are intact but overgrown with weeds. Children's graffiti and long-dried dark blood stains remain on the mottled walls. In just three or four months, this once lively and peaceful village, where smoke rose from cooking stoves and urchins laughed, was quickly eroded by wind and rain due to the disappearance of people, and became desolate and dilapidated, without the breath of life.

The girl found a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and wanted to try digging a hole by herself, but Hidan let out a "tsk", and he could only make a fist-sized hole with his paw. He threw her towards Kakuzu and took over the job.

Being held in Kakuzu's hand always made the girl feel uncomfortable. She knew that Akatsuki Hokuto was holding back his anger towards her.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." The girl admitted her mistake with a low eyebrow, earning a cold snort from the other party.

When Hidan finished digging the hole and put the man's body in to bury it, the girl twisted her body and signaled Kakuzu to let go of her, then ran all the way and jumped into the hole.

"You want me to bury you together?" Hidan raised his eyebrows.

"Wait a moment, Hidan-nii." The girl fumbled around the man's waist and found a blond girl doll. She carefully placed it on his chest, took his hands and hugged the doll, and then Jump to the side.

Hidan once again saw the girl activate her telekinesis ability, and the dense vines intertwined and overlapped to form a closed space, wrapping the man and the doll in it. As her body became smaller, it seemed very difficult for her, and it took her seven or eight minutes to complete.

"Kakuzu, do you think she can recover?"

"do not know."

"I have never seen anything like this. After death, there is still chakra left to activate or release ninjutsu or something..."

"No, it's not impossible. I just don't know if this person has such power."

"If she is cheated, this little girl will lose her life."

"That's what she deserves."

"But aren't we in vain?"

"In that case, you can perform a ceremony for her before her body becomes rigid."

"Heh, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give Lord Evil God an exquisite doll."

……

Kakuzu and Hidan, one looked on with cold eyes, while the other began to think about the ceremony, and the girl under their gaze was standing motionless in front of the grave.

"Dad, why are you leaving again?" The little blond girl tilted her head and pouted, her face full of displeasure.

"Dad is going to transport this precious stone out with other uncles, and then buy beautiful little dresses and delicious little candies for the smartest and cutest bell in the world. What else do you want?" The middle-aged man picked up the little girl. Girl, her face is full of doting.

"I just want Dad. You have to leave for many days every time. You won't be able to see the lilies of the valley when they bloom. When you come back, maybe they will all be gone." The little blond girl was still very upset. happy.

"Then when the lily of the valley blooms, you can draw it and I can see it when I get back." The man said, stroking her hair gently.

"The painting is still fake..." The little blond girl had an idea, "How about I make it into dried flowers so that dad can see it when he comes back."

"Can you do it?" the man asked with a smile.

"I will ask my mother-in-law to teach me, she is a master at growing flowers." The little blond girl was full of confidence, her clear blue eyes twinkling.

……

"Little girl, your eyes are very similar to my daughter's."

The girl finally felt the words that the man said with a smile before he died.

They are very similar... She said in her heart.

The scene in front of him changed instantly. The man held the little blond girl's hand, bowed slightly towards her, turned around and left, and gradually disappeared.

"Thank you..." A vague thank you sounded in my ears.

Don't worry, I will solve your obsession!

The girl slowly closed her eyes, and her body felt faintly hot again. When she opened her eyes again, they had returned to normal size.

"Ah, I actually recovered." Hidan sighed, whether he was happy for her or regretful that he couldn't hold the ceremony.

Kakuzu is calm on the outside, but a little complicated on the inside. He stared intently at the girl sowing a handful of seeds in front of the tomb. After a while, dots of green buds appeared on the ground. The green buds grew taller quickly, giving birth to big green leaves, sprouting flower spikes, swelling buds, and almost... Blooming at the same time….

The pure white lily of the valley flowers swayed like wind chimes, making Kakutashi think of a little blond girl of five or six years old. She stretched out her hands to block an old woman, widened her eyes and asked who she was. However, the next second she was beaten by him. The black tentacles of resentment penetrated the heart and fell down weakly. It seemed that it was holding a dried flower in its hand, like a string of white wind chimes...

"Let's go." Kakuzu turned around indifferently and walked away.

Returning to the noble's house again, Kakuzu did not let the girl participate in the discussion of the reward. He only ordered Hidan to stay with the girl and not let her run around. The girl was obedient this time. Apart from saying goodbye to the noble daughter and returning the clothes she had borrowed before, she and Hidan stayed in the garden to rest.

The nobleman was very grateful to the Akatsuki organization for sending someone to rescue him and his daughter this time. In addition to paying a reward of 3500 million taels, he also promised to continue to cooperate with Akatsuki in the future.

Hidan vaguely felt that Kakuzu's attitude towards the girl since leaving the village was a bit strange, and he paid close attention to her actions, but it was not like he was worried that something would happen to her again. After all, Kakuzu should be regarded as the person who lacked "companion love" the most in the organization. .

"What are you guarding against, Kakuzu?" Hidan couldn't help but ask as the girl ran to the river to wash her face.

"I just have a bad premonition." Kakuzu didn't hide it. "That person gave up revenge so easily and chose to kill himself. I always felt that it was not that simple to unlock the technique on the condition that he be sent back to the village for burial."

"You mean, the little girl agreed to something that we both refused to do? So, you have been guarding her, afraid that she would suddenly kill the noble?" Hidan shook his head and said, "This kind of obvious disobedience to the order of the organization She doesn't dare to do it..."

"Maybe I'm too worried." Kakuzu saw the girl running back jumping and saw nothing unusual at all, so he decided not to continue to dwell on this issue. Anyway, they were far away from that country, even if she agreed to help [ ] Revenge is impossible.

In the evening, the three of them came to a town. When Kakuzu and Hidan saw a dessert shop on the street, they were all prepared for the girl to act coquettishly and eat dessert again, but unexpectedly, she didn't stop and continued to follow them, all the way to the izakaya.

"Did the sun rise in the west today..." Hidan teased with a smile.

"I'm treating you today. You two seniors can order whatever they want." The girl patted her chest grandly and said.

Hidan was not polite, he picked up the menu and quickly ordered a lot, not forgetting to order beef liver slices and angler fish liver for Kakuzu, while the girl ordered fried food, ice cream, matcha cake and juice.

"The ice cream is barely edible, but this juice is made entirely from fruit-flavored powder and water..." The picky girl called the waiter, paid him a hard fee and asked him to buy eight or nine oranges from a nearby store, and turned them into claws with her hands. Cut it in half and squeeze out two glasses of orange juice quickly.

Kakuzu had already opened his collar, pulled down his mask, and started eating slowly. When tasting your favorite food, even if the sweet smell of cake wafts faintly next to it, you seem to be able to bear it.

Seeing how engrossed he was in eating, the girl curiously tasted a piece of raw beef liver, but found that it was not to her taste. After closing her eyes and swallowing it, she picked up a nearby cup and took a swig. She realized it was wine and couldn't help but cough. stand up.

Kakuzu glared at her and took the cup back. Hidan, who was sitting opposite, smiled and pushed the orange juice in front of her.

The izakaya was quite lively, and the focus of discussion at a table not far from Kakuzu and the others was Tsunade, the fifth generation Hokage who was newly appointed to the Leaf Village last month.

"This woman looks so familiar! Brother, isn't she the legendary fat sheep?"

"It's really her... she's obviously not young, but she looks very young. The casino's favorite guest, but her creditors are a headache. In order to avoid debts, this woman even shamelessly transformed into a little lolita."

"We also have her IOU here, right? Boss, do you want to go to Konoha to get it back?"

"Konoha seems to be very difficult now. It just went through the war. I heard that almost all the ninjas were sent out to do missions..."

"But repaying debts is a matter of course. Even if she is the Hokage, she has to admit it."

"If you just send the bill, will she pretend not to see it? How about you try to come and ask for it?"

"Yes, Xiuze, haven't you always wanted to be recognized by the boss? Please get these 1800 million taels back..."

……

Everyone was laughing and making a fuss.

"Just as Itachi-senpai guessed, the granddaughter of the First Hokage succeeded him as Hokage. At that time, I found out that her psychic beast was a slug. I was a little surprised. This soft thing can actually heal... Oh, it's a different world. , The species difference is too big." The girl sighed while finishing off the second matcha cake she ordered.

"Are there any species in your world that we don't have here?" Hidan asked curiously.

"Well, there are many, such as fox bears, human-faced apes, grape spiders, bubble horses..." The girl listed several types with great interest, and finally concluded, "To be honest, the biological system of my original world is much better than It’s much more complicated here…”

At this moment, Hidan noticed something strange about her and exclaimed: "Hey, why are you crying?"

The girl raised her hand in surprise and touched the moisture on her cheek. Then she realized she was crying and was startled.

Kakuzu turned his face slightly and saw the girl sitting blankly, tears pouring out like a bursting flood, silently, and soon a small puddle of water appeared on the table.

He and Hidan looked at each other, confused as to what was going on.

"Don't you all hate me...you only expect him, not me..." The girl's watery blue eyes became misty, and she said something meaningless.

"You're so good, why are you so angry?" Hidan kicked her under the table.

Kakuzu's eyes fell on the cup, vaguely guessing.
