[Naruto] To the underworld

This escort mission is in a larger city in the Kingdom of Frost, and the singer to be protected is named Zhenyin. She is about to hold her 13th concert this year in this city, where she will sing her new song "Swinging Purple". It is said that the tickets have been sold out.

After the client's men contacted Kakuzu and the other three, they took them to the largest theater in the area. The protected person had just arrived that morning and went to the theater in person to check on the preparations for the concert. Kakuzu and the girl stood in a corner of the auditorium, watching from a distance as the woman checked the stage layout, prop preparation, sound and lighting, etc., and communicated with the staff from time to time. Hidan glanced at it with half interest. Close your eyes and meditate by the wall.

In the evening, they came to a manor, where they met the client of the mission, a man named Meno.

"Are you the ninjas sent by Akatsuki this time?" He looked at Kakuzu and Hidan with a critical eye. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw another petite silver-haired girl coming out from behind Kakuzu, and his eyes suddenly froze. .

The girl looked up and looked back, and found that the client was about forty years old, with a rough and unruly appearance. Although he was wearing an expensive suit, he could not hide his gangster look. He was staring straight at her, with a look in his eyes that made her uncomfortable. Comfortable weird look.

"Yes, we have accepted your request, and three people are here this time." Kakuzu took a step forward, "Next, we need to confirm the mission content and precautions."

Meno changed his previous arrogance and softened his tone a lot, "The mission this time is actually very simple. It is to follow Zhenyin and protect her safety during the week she stays in this city. But she doesn't Hi, the bodyguard is too close to her. You may have to keep a little distance from her or hide... In addition, I also mentioned in the commission that a suspicious stalker appeared recently and nailed the letter with a shuriken. There is probably a ninja on the wall, please pay more attention..."

……

Not long after the two parties talked, a woman's voice suddenly broke into the living room.

"I've said it before, there's no need to hire any ninjas for close protection. There are enough people around you usually, so nothing will happen."

Although it was a complaint, the voice was very nice and had an airy and elegant feeling to it. The singer herself came in with the voice, her silver hair was rolled up loosely, her brown eyes were as clear as water, she was dressed in a black dress with a hint of powder and pink, she was pure and cool.

This beautiful young lady is much more pleasing to the eye than her employer, and she doesn't look like an overbearing and arrogant person. It's probably not a big problem to ask her for a few autographed photos... the girl secretly thought to herself.

"Don't take it lightly. Someone can sneak into your room and kidnap you next time. There are a lot of people at concerts, so I can rest assured if a master is by your side to protect you." Meno waved her to come closer. , "You just come to meet the three protectors this time. Last time you were scared by the shark face. This time I specially invited the organization to send members who don't look so scary..."

When Zhenyin first caught sight of the person opposite who was wearing a red cloud suit with a black background, she frowned slightly. When she took a closer look, she saw that the tallest horn had a pair of strange red and green eyes, wearing a mask, looking cold and distant.

Is this what is called not so scary? She was a little speechless, and her eyes moved to the short man next to her, and she couldn't help but be startled.

It turned out to be a beautiful little girl with silver hair and blue eyes... She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Meno.

He was introducing with a smile, "...the people sent this time are very powerful. The ninja in the middle is Kakuzu, the one on his right is Hidan, and there is another one..."

Is...who is it? The name he just mentioned was—Hidan?

Zhenyin's heart seemed to skip a beat, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the opposite side again.

The young man on the right side of the masked ninja has an open collar, a necklace hanging around his neck, and a strange three-edged sickle behind his back. His gray-silver hair is combed into a bun, his tall nose bridge is smooth, and his thin lips are slightly He pursed his lips as if he was dissatisfied, and his purple eyes met hers, with a hint of impatience...

Her heart was trembling, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and she suddenly turned around and left.

"Okay, I've invited you all and I've met you all. I'm going back to my room first. I just remembered that there is something wrong with one of the costumes..."

Meno burst out laughing, and said to everyone else, "Don't be surprised, she may be so passionate when singing sometimes, but her real temperament is a bit cold."

He turned to the girl again and suggested kindly: "You are a girl. It is more convenient for you to protect Zhenyin personally. Your two companions will provide protection in the dark. Is this an okay arrangement?"

The girl naturally asked Kakuzu for his opinion, and Kakuzu nodded in agreement, so she agreed.

Meno's men took Kakuzu and the others out for dinner and asked them to familiarize themselves with the layout of the house and check whether there were any abnormalities inside and out.

While walking along the garden path, Kakuzu slowed down and whispered to the girl: "Calm down your temper a little and don't touch the client."

The girl blinked innocently, "I didn't do anything."

"When he looked at you, your murderous aura overflowed."

Kakuzu felt that if he, who was the closest, hadn't noticed it and half-blocked it as a warning, the little girl might have just taken action without hesitation.

"Who made his eyes look so disgusting..." the girl snorted, "Why don't we dig out his eyes and give him a little punishment..."

"After all, we are the client, so for the sake of money, please bear with it." For the first time, Kakuzu was worried about the safety of the financial owner because of the cruelty of his companions. Even Hidan, who kept talking about wanting to perform a sacrificial ceremony, could not bear it. I have never killed or maimed a client. Of course, this client is really a bit annoying...

"Who is this guy named Meno? He's from the underworld? His background is not mentioned in the mission scroll." The girl asked.

"He is an old customer. He has entrusted the same escort mission before. That time it was Itachi and Kisame. He does have a background in the underworld, but he has been slowly clearing his name in the past few years. His entertainment group is this One of the three largest companies in the world, with many companies under its umbrella, involving various fields such as music creation, film and television production, artist management, publishing and printing, high-end hotels, etc. It can be said that it is a pile of money. He is most concerned about the woman Zhenyin and devotes all his resources to it. Meet all her needs." Kakuzu reminded the little girl again, "Be a little tolerant to a client who may become a long-term partner, and don't turn your back directly."

"I know, uncle, actually, shouldn't you care more about him than me?" The girl tried her best to nuzzle in Hidan's direction, "Is that beautiful singer an old acquaintance of Hidan-nii? A former woman friend……"

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense, I don't recognize her." Hidan replied angrily.

"Who are you lying to? Uncle Kakuzu and I are not blind. When people see you, they become distracted, as if they want to recognize you but don't dare to recognize you... Even now, they are secretly looking at you." The girl said. Suddenly he stopped and looked back. He saw the curtains of a room on the second floor were suddenly closed, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm going to beat you up if you talk nonsense again... How could I get involved with this kind of woman? If I don't know her, I just don't know her. I've never heard of the name Zhenyin before..." Hidan also glanced at her. That room, but still didn't take it seriously, "Maybe she was confused and recognized the wrong person."

"It's unclear who is confused. You can change your name if you want. Please carefully recall her face and where you have seen it before..." The girl pulled Kakuzu's sleeve, "Uncle, you Stop worrying about me and keep an eye on him."

"Both of you don't make people worry." Kakuzu took his sleeves away from her hands and continued walking forward.

The girl volunteered to inspect Zhenyin's room for a very good reason. It was not appropriate for two grown men to go through a woman's things. Privately, she said to each other that she wanted to get information.

Zhenyin didn't care about this so-called inspection at first. People around her would often check anyway, but she didn't expect that the little girl hired as a guard would check every corner of the room so seriously. All over, including every piece of her clothing, even the furniture, she had carefully touched inch by inch, and she could easily lift the sofa...

"Little sister, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. Don't hold it back. I'm anxious for you." The girl who was raising the luxurious bed halfway to take a look underneath said with her back to Zhenyin.

Zhenyin coughed awkwardly, "No, no..."

"Such a rare opportunity to inquire, you'd better not miss it." The girl put the big bed back to its original place, slowly walked towards Zhenyin, put her hands on the armrests of the single sofa chair, and circled the other person between the sofa and Between himself, he smiled slyly, "Are you really not interested in knowing anything about my handsome companion carrying a scythe?"

Zhenyin pretended to be calm and replied: "I don't know what you are talking about, why should I ask about him... We are just a simple relationship between the protector and the protected."

"Hey, aren't they childhood sweethearts?" the girl asked in surprise.

"How could..." Zhenyin turned away.

"We were not boyfriend and girlfriend before, but he dumped you?" the girl asked persistently.

"Stop talking nonsense... we don't know each other at all." Zhenyin wanted to push the girl away, but found that she couldn't push her away at all, so he could only stare at her and said, "Finish checking the room, I want to rest."

"Well, the check is over, there's no problem..." The girl stood up straight, "I'm going to tell Uncle Kakuzu and Brother Hidan that we'll see you tomorrow, you lovely lady who talks a lot but doesn't mean anything."

Zhenyin silently watched the girl leave humming a little tune with her hands behind her back. When she was approaching the door, she couldn't help but said: "Um - your pitch is not very accurate..."

When the girl looked back in confusion, she added softly, "Little sister, be careful here."
