[Comprehensive] The Curse of Love at First Sight
Chapter 31 The first mission
Yukimura and Kurosawa introduced themselves to everyone, and after Ino earnestly asked them to sit down and have a meal together, they pretended to be humble, sat down smoothly, and joined the barbecue team.
On the side of Ino, Yukimura, and Shikamaru, and on the side of Sakura, Naruto, and Kurosawa, the new friend Choji moved a comfortable chair to sit on the outermost end.
With a decent smile, Kurosawa spoke to Naruto from time to time, and occasionally brought up the topic of Yukimura, so that they could quickly get acquainted with each other.
Fortunately, Naruto's character is very carefree, with a bright smile on his face, he seems to be able to get along with anyone happily, so that within a few minutes, almost everyone at the table was talking and laughing, not at all like he was just now. I know the same.
While Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help feeling a little fond of Naruto.
He is like the sun in the sky, so warm that people want to get closer.
However, when Kurosawa looked at Naruto and Sakura with a relaxed expression and was about to speak to persuade them, he suddenly noticed a somewhat sharp gaze from the opposite side.
With a finger pause, Kurosawa turned his head reflexively and looked, only to see Shikamaru who was sitting opposite him with his chin resting on one hand, with neither sad nor happy expression, just staring at his face silently, after the two eyes met, then He calmly looked away and reached out to grab a piece of barbecue.
Although he behaved very naturally, Kurosawa clearly caught the doubt and distrust that flashed in his eyes.
Nara Shikamaru, a very clever ninja...
Recalling that Yukimura had told him in the morning to be careful about Shikamaru and not to expose his feet, Kurosawa quickly lowered his eyes and thought about it secretly.
Although their performance from their appearance to their seating was almost impeccable, but if you think about it carefully, they are full of doubts, and no matter how you look at it, you can't dispel the other party's concerns.
Then it's better to adopt the previous method, be simple and rude, forcefully improve the other party's favor, and let him reduce suspicion as much as possible.
After deciding on the method, Kurosawa's eyes darkened, he sighed deeply in his heart, and finally raised his head slowly.
"Shikamaru." He called Shikamaru softly, and when the other party looked at him with raised eyebrows, he showed a gentle smile, and pointed to his own cheek at the same time: "This one is dirty."
Seeing his movements, Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and quickly rubbed his cheek: "Oh, thank you."
"It wasn't wiped clean." Kurosawa smiled helplessly, and then kindly reminded: "It's going up a little bit."
According to his prompt, Shikamaru rubbed upward again, but no matter how much he tried to wipe the skin clean, the arc of Kurosawa's lips on the opposite side was getting bigger and bigger.In the end, Kurosawa sighed lightly, stood up suddenly, leaned forward, and stretched out a hand to his cheek.
Staring at his movements, Shikamaru shrunk back subconsciously, his brows furrowed tightly, trying to avoid this intimate movement, but what he didn't expect was that Kurosawa's hand didn't reach out directly to him Instead, he turned in a different direction on the way and grabbed his wrist directly.
The moment the skin was touched, a hot temperature rushed to the limbs, Shikamaru stared blankly into Kurosawa's eyes, only felt that the place touched was numb, and a strange feeling spread in the bottom of his heart.
He saw Kurosawa's eyes slightly bent and smiled at him. The amber luster in his eyes seemed to contain a galaxy full of stars. Immediately, the other party grabbed his wrist, pulled his fingers to touch his cheeks, and gently rubbed rubbed.
"Sorry, it seems that you don't want to be touched by others, so you have to make a bad move." Kurosawa tilted his head apologetically, slowly let go of Shikamaru's arm, and sat back on the seat: "It's already It's clean."
"...Thank you." The weird feeling just now made Shikamaru immediately alert, but no matter how he thought about the intention of this action, the pair of beautiful golden eyes that were reflected in his mind were still lingering Go, even his fast-running brain was a little tired, messy and unable to analyze rationally.
Tsk, did he suffer from an illusion?
Dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of his proud mind, Shikamaru smacked his mouth in displeasure, picked up chopsticks and added a piece of barbecued meat to supplement his nutrition.
On the opposite side, Kurosawa, who had successfully activated his ability, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and absent-mindedly picked up a few pieces of meat and ate them.I have to say that this kind of ability that requires skin-to-skin contact is too troublesome, so every time he chooses a routine of "this place is dirty, let me wipe it for you" or directly grab the opponent's wrist, but ignore It was very abrupt, but fortunately the other party was not so vigilant, and finally succeeded.
"Kurosawa-kun, can I ask you something?" Just as he was chewing food by himself in silence, Sakura at the side suddenly looked at him hesitantly and asked softly.
Kurosawa quickly put on a gentle look: "Of course."
"I want to ask... Sasuke, how is he doing now." Sakura lowered her head and said in a cautious tone: "After all, what happened...is he okay?"
As soon as these words came out, the people who were talking and laughing just now fell silent instantly, and there was an unspeakable sense of heaviness in the air.
Kurosawa had a panoramic view of everyone's dignified expressions, and then picked a few key points and said: "When I saw him for the first time, I was seriously injured, but his recovery is very good, and he can move freely in three days. Well, there shouldn’t be any problems other than the psychological blow, but now to catch Eight Tails... I don’t know much about it.”
"That man with eight tails, what's his name? What kind of person is he! Is he powerful?!" As soon as his voice fell, Naruto asked impatiently, his blue eyes were full of worry, and he didn't care. I don't know if I'm worried about Sasuke or Yatsuo.
However, Kurosawa caught a clue in his words.
people?So, that eight-tailed Kirabi is a person? !
Since Uchiha Madara asked Sasuke to catch Eight-tailed Kirabi, and asked him to come to Konoha to supervise Naruto... can it be considered that Naruto is also a tailed beast, and if he gathers all the tailed beasts, Madara can gain powerful power!
His thoughts turned back and forth, but there was still a perfect smile on his face: "I don't know much about this, but Sasuke should be very powerful, right?"
"Ahhh!!" Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help scratching his head in distress, shaking violently: "I'm so annoying, why did Sasuke and 'Akatsuki' become a team, that bastard!!"
"May I ask, what is the 'Xiao' you keep talking about?" Kurosawa quietly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked naturally, "Is it an evil organization?"
"Yes! Xiao's group of guys are all rebels, they specialize in collecting tailed beasts, and the leader, Payne..."
"Naruto!" Naruto was still pouring bitter water excitedly, but was suddenly interrupted by a high-pitched voice: "This is a secret."
Shikamaru looked at him disapprovingly, and shook his head slightly.
cut.
Kurosawa smacked his tongue secretly, but on the surface he still nodded understandingly and said: "You're right, I'm too curious."
"Ah..." Looking at his gentle face, Naruto scratched his head a little uneasily, secretly glanced at Shikamaru who was expressionless, and looked back dejectedly: "...Sorry."
In his heart, he has long regarded Kurosawa as his little partner who fought against the masked man, but now that Shikamaru has poured a bucket of cold water on him, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little dignified, Yukimura, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly stood up and gave everyone a comfortable smile: "It's getting late, I've disturbed everyone for so long, and Hibiki will take my leave first, thank you Treat."
Kurosawa also stood up cooperatively: "That's right, then everyone, I had a great time playing today, see you another day."
When the figures of the two disappeared from sight, Naruto suddenly looked at Shikamaru with an aggrieved gaze, and his face swelled into a bun shape: "Che, Shikamaru is a cheapskate, everyone is friends, you see they all go away I must be angry!"
"That's right, Shikamaru!" Ino, who watched Yukimura go away, immediately poured out his anger on Shikamaru: "I want to say a few more words to Yukimura-kun, it's all your fault!"
Shikamaru, who has a lot of blame on his back: "..."
"It's long-winded." He sighed helplessly, and said lazily, "You should also be more vigilant, don't see anyone as a good person."
"He is a good person, idiot, idiot, Shikamaru, idiot!"
"That's right, Shikamaru idiot!"
Shikamaru:"……"
On the other side, Kurosawa, who had already got the information he wanted, raised his mouth in a good mood, and walked side by side with Yukimura on the street while talking about his discovery.
"So that's it, Tailed Beast?" After listening, Yukimura rested his chin in one hand and thought about it: "But there is no trace of Naruto hiding the Tailed Beast at all."
"I'm not too clear about this issue, and further information is needed." Kurosawa nodded in agreement: "The next target can be regarded as gaining their favor... Today Shikamaru's vision seems to see through everything It seems that it makes me a little uneasy, it is better to choose a place where he is not there next time."
"Don't underestimate Shikamaru's IQ, he is a very scary man. But if I get rid of him, I can do something." Yukimura smiled, and suddenly pointed to his left wrist with his right hand, Kurosawa felt strange Looking over, I saw a small black spot stuck to the small piece of skin where the cuff meets. If you don't look carefully, you almost think it is a mole.
Kurosawa's eyes suddenly lit up: "Another monitor?"
"That's right." Yukimura glanced at him approvingly: "Use it to search for Naruto's location, and the data will be sent directly to the AI. We just need a chance encounter."
There is no chance in this world, only necessity.
-
In the next few days, Naruto was surprised to find that almost every time he went to the street, he would see Kurosawa and Yukimura, sometimes he greeted, sometimes the other party greeted, in short, the number of contacts More and more frequently, as if there seems to be something in the dark as a traction.
"Naruto." On this day, Kurosawa walked into Ichiraku Ramen leisurely, and "coincidentally" met Naruto: "We meet again."
"Yo, Kurosawa." Naruto raised his hand to greet him with a smile: "I've met so many times recently, it's really amazing."
"Really?" Kurosawa sat down beside him, picked up the menu of ramen, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said flatly: "Maybe it's because I like to hang out on the street recently, so it's easy to come across Bar."
"Maybe." Naruto nodded carelessly, and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "This is something called fate!"
Hearing this, Kurosawa smiled with his eyes narrowed, and suddenly raised his tone: "Then to celebrate this fate, I'll treat you to some ramen, boss, two servings of char siu ramen!"
"Ohhhh!! You are such a nice guy Kurosawa!!! Awesome!!!"
What answered him was Naruto's exclamation.
Two bowls of hot ramen were brought up, with a hint of drift, which instantly aroused the appetite of Kurosawa and Naruto. The two looked at each other tacitly, and picked up the chopsticks with smiles: "I'll start..."
"Uzumaki Naruto." An abrupt voice interrupted the two of them.
Naruto looked back inexplicably, and saw a ninja-like person with a fox mask standing behind him at some point, nodded to him, and said, "Hokage-sama, please."
"Grandma Tsunade?" Naruto was very confused when he handed himself over to this point, he scratched his head in confusion, looked at the ramen in front of him and sighed heavily: "It seems that I can't eat it, ramen... "
"Hurry up and see Master Hokage and come back to eat." Kurosawa looked at his expression with a smile, and promised: "I will watch for you, don't worry."
"Really?!" Naruto blinked happily, stood up energetically, turned his head and shouted at Kurosawa as he walked out, "Then please, I'll be right back!"
"I see."
Seeing Naruto's disappearing back, Kurosawa couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, picked up his chopsticks again and ate his ramen slowly.
He ate very slowly, occasionally stopping his chopsticks to glance behind him.
However, until the sun was setting and the remaining soup at the bottom of the bowl had solidified into a white layer, the golden figure still did not appear in front of his eyes.
Kurosawa silently glanced at the clock on the wall, then shifted his gaze to the already cold ramen, suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, put the copper coins in his hand on the table, put his hands in his pockets, and didn't look back out of the store.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow very long. Accompanied by Qian Se, he walked on the street and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
Before he realized the reason for this emotion, suddenly, his eyes froze, and he suddenly found a familiar figure sitting on a bench at the corner of the street.
He was wearing casual clothes, with his head bowed, a few strands of blond hair were disheveled across his forehead, covering his eyes, and he was holding two connected popsicles in his hand, sitting there motionless, looking extremely lonely.
As if out of tune with the surrounding hustle and bustle, hiding alone in a dark corner, like a confused and overwhelmed child.
Kurosawa looked at Naruto who seemed to have been hit by something in surprise, turned his footsteps, and walked in his direction.
However, in the next second, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A teardrop fell from the corner of Naruto's eye.
There was a ripple in his heart.
Naruto...was crying.
Naruto, who had always been smiling brightly and optimistically, actually cried!
This realization made Kurosawa stand still in surprise, not knowing whether to take back the step he took or continue walking.
He looked at Naruto, whose eyes were filled with tears, and his expression was full of sadness. He pursed his lips a little helplessly, and his mechanical brain gradually started to work.
Something sad must have happened. If he passed now, it might make the situation even more embarrassing... Sure enough, we should go back first.
Even if he wants to comfort him or something, it has nothing to do with his position.
His eyes darkened, and Kurosawa, who made up his mind, finally took a deep look at Naruto who was crying, sighed softly, then slowly backed up his pace, and walked home alone with the setting sun.
Well, let's check the situation again tomorrow.
……
However, what he didn't expect was that when he sent out the bug-shaped monitor to search for Naruto's trace the next day, it turned out to be empty.
"How is it?" Kurosawa looked seriously at Yukimura, who was directing the bug monitor, and asked anxiously, "Is there any trace of Naruto?"
"I've searched inside Konoha, but there's nothing there." Yukimura shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly, making his handsome face look very serious: "Sure enough, he's no longer in Konoha."
"I saw him crying alone on the street last night, and he disappeared today. Is there any connection between this?" Kurosawa held his chin in one hand, pondered for a while, and finally could only helplessly rub his forehead: "I have no choice but to ask others. I should be able to catch some clues."
"Okay, let's split up and go now."
"kindness."
Although he came to the main street with all his might, Kurosawa was still at a loss as to who he was going to ask. He wandered back and forth on the street in a daze, hoping to meet some familiar figures.
Fortunately, among a group of ordinary villagers shopping, the ninja's attire is very conspicuous.
Unintentionally catching that figure, Kurosawa's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly ran towards him, not forgetting to give himself a yeah in his heart.
"Mr. Kakashi." He pretended to be surprised and came to Kakashi's side, and was the first to show a smiling face: "Long time no see."
Kakashi was holding a little yellow book in one hand at the moment, and was reading lazily. Seeing a familiar tone coming from his side, he paused his fingers slightly, and glanced lightly at the other party with one exposed eye: "...well, haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as he saw Kurosawa showing that elegant and malicious smile, the embarrassing incident on the street a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and the bad premonition gradually deepened in his heart.
so troublesome.
He sighed softly, and silently put "Intimate Heaven" into his ninja bag: "What's the matter?"
Kurosawa noticed his movements, his eyes followed the book unconsciously, his eyes moved slightly, and he raised his tone and made a teasing voice: "Hey~"
This sentence has been repeated thousands of times, and it seems to include all kinds of complicated meanings.
"..." Kakashi was a little horrified by him, and couldn't help but quickly took a few steps forward: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Of course there is something." Fearing that he would run away if he disagreed, Kurosawa hurriedly followed his steps, and said after considering his tone, "Where is Mr. Kakashi going?"
"...Go home." Obviously not wanting to answer this question, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before saying lazily.
"I haven't seen you recently, is it a mission?"
"No."
"What do you usually do?"
"Read a book."
"I'm looking for Naruto, has Mr. Kakashi seen him?"
As soon as these words came out, Kakashi's steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes became sharp. However, the next second, he returned to his lazy look, as if the scene just now was just an illusion: "He's on a mission."
"Hey...then when will he come back?" Kurosawa trembled in his heart, always feeling that things were gradually getting out of his control.
"I don't know." Hearing this, Kakashi stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Kurosawa, and his lifeless eyes also gave off a slight coolness: "What can you do with Naruto?"
Surprised by the change in his surroundings, Kurosawa's fingers froze, and he showed a bright smile reflexively: "...Yeah, yesterday we agreed to eat ramen together, but today we suddenly couldn't find him , I'm just a little suspicious."
Almost careless, are you still doubting him, Kakashi?
"Really?" Kakashi looked at him silently for a long while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, and waved at him: "Anyway, he went out to do a mission, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so don't follow me anymore Brat."
Immediately, he quickly made a seal, and disappeared in place with a puff of smoke rising.
"Tch, who is the brat, this uncle." After his figure disappeared, Kurosawa slowly withdrew his smile, muttered softly, and turned back without looking back.
While walking, he was also analyzing the information he had just obtained.
It is certain that Naruto is not in Konoha, but Kurosawa still has some disbelief when it comes to doing missions. Naruto’s state yesterday is not good, how could he be sent to do missions, and Naruto should be Isn't the person Konoha wants to protect the most?
Wait a minute... the person I want to protect the most.
Kurosawa paused, pondered for a moment, and a possibility vaguely appeared in his mind.
Did Konoha hide Naruto?Hidden in a secret place that no one knows.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Thinking about Kakashi's vigilance against his questioning just now, he felt that the other party had clearly realized the importance of Naruto, and he didn't intend to let any suspicious person approach him.
Although this strategy is very good, but... what should he do now? !
Kurosawa scratched his messy black hair with a headache, and just wanted to let out a long sigh of helplessness. Now that Naruto, an important mission goal, is missing, he can hardly walk an inch now, and there is a mission assigned to him by Uchiha Madara behind him , The pressure is huge.
Just as he was wandering along the street in a daze and silently thinking about his next step, when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly come to a forest, and it seemed that there was no one around.
...Where is this?
Kurosawa looked around suspiciously, knowing that it was impossible for him to walk out of Konoha, so he chose a random direction and walked slowly to the depths, trying his luck.
He was concentrating on walking slowly in the forest, observing the surroundings with great interest from time to time, but when he happened to catch a glimpse of a red robe with a black background, he suddenly froze in place.
In an instant, the memory left by the blackness flashed back in his mind like a horse on a horse, and the tension that penetrated into the bone marrow made his body freeze in place, and he couldn't take a step under his feet.
He twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and gradually moved his gaze upwards: This is really... I can't laugh.
"Long time no see, Kurosawa." The orange mask clearly reflected in his eyes, and with a familiar voice, the man walked closer: "It seems that you are living well in Konoha."
"...Long time no see." Kurosawa tightened his body, took a deep breath in his heart, and a trace of just right surprise flashed in his eyes: "How can you appear here?"
"Why can't I." Ah Fei said with unshakable confidence in his tone: "Ah, do you mean Konoha's guards? How can that level of security stop me, it's too naive."
Surprised by his certainty, Kurosawa couldn't help recalculating Ah Fei's force value, and the expression on his face became more and more natural: "It's really powerful, so why come here today...?"
"Don't forget the task I left you." Ah Fei changed his original incongruity when we met, and every time he spoke, he felt a sense of oppression: "Keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki."
"Of course." Kurosawa replied sincerely, only feeling a bad premonition rushing into his heart: "I have already established a good relationship with Naruto."
"Very good." A Fei praised him like a compliment: "Is he still in Konoha now?"
"No." Kurosawa frowned: "He happened to be on a mission today."
"A task? What task?"
"This... I don't know too well, I just know that he is not in Konoha now, and everyone's tone is very strict, so..."
"Trash!" Hearing this useless information, Ah Fei immediately yelled in a cold voice, and the hem of his cuffs swayed in the air, revealing an invisible vicious force.
Kurosawa was startled by the cold air he radiated, the hair on his back stood up instantly, and he was very energetic in his heart.
Tsk, damn it, if the other party is furious and wants to kill him...the only option is to give up this villain and run away first, the best policy is to save his own life first.
He secretly tightened every nerve, lowered his eyes silently, so that Ah Fei would not notice the light in his eyes, and at the same time, he used his peripheral vision to look at the surrounding trees, in order to find a place to hide from the figure at the first time.
His preparations were perfect, but he still couldn't resist Ah Fei's teleportation-like attack.
Seeing the next thing, before Kurosawa's brain could react, his wrist was suddenly clenched by someone, with such force that he couldn't help clenching his teeth.
Tsk, what kind of perverted speed is this!
At this moment, Ah Fei was holding his hand tightly, staring at him without blinking, and in the exposed bloody eyes, three black spots shaped like hooked jade were clearly visible.
Looking at that eye, Kurosawa was slightly taken aback, and became a little dazed. He vaguely felt that this strange shape with one eye was somewhat similar to Kakashi. Could it be related?
However, before he could think more deeply, Ah Fei on the opposite side bullied him and looked down at him with cold eyes: "I'll give you another day."
Kurosawa: "...Huh?"
"Give you another day, tell me the location of Uzumaki Naruto." A Fei let go of his hand, and took a step back calmly: "I will still be here at this time tomorrow, if you don't show up on time...or play tricks What kind of clever words, the consequences..."
His threatening tone was very casual, as if he was crushing a weak ant, casually: "Oh, you definitely don't want to know."
"I understand." Kurosawa nodded bitingly, watching A Fei turn around and disappear, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
He slowly leaned against a tree trunk, touched the sweat on his forehead expressionlessly, and sighed softly.
Sure enough, the force value is still not high enough, you have to hurry up and train, let this damn S-level world go to hell!
And that Uchiha Madara, he wouldn't mind sending him off for the last time!
……
Although he scolded the bastard Uchiha Madara in his heart, but in the face of a tomorrow full of hardships, Kurosawa still needs to obey the other party's words and collect as much information as possible on Naruto, which also explains how he should deal with Uchiha Madara. Offers a sliver of possibility.
So, he made a decisive decision and decided to go to Sakura who was in the same group as Naruto to find out some information.
Fortunately, searching for Sakura was not that difficult. After Kurosawa stayed at the Konoha Hospital for a while, he saw Sakura who seemed to have just finished work, pushing the door out.
He hastily greeted her: "Sakura, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Kurosawa-kun." She didn't expect to be talked to, Xiao Ying was stunned, and stopped: "Are you injured, why did you come to the hospital?"
"Ah... yes." Following her words, Kurosawa forcibly changed his words and decided to make himself look more natural: "It's a little uncomfortable."
"Are you all right?" Xiao Ying suddenly looked over worriedly, and some uneasiness filled her blue eyes: "What's uncomfortable?"
"Uh..." Seeing her asking such a detailed question, Kurosawa hesitated for a moment, then suddenly covered the right side of his chest with one hand, and said two words with a painful expression: "...heart."
Sakura: "...Kurosawa-kun, the heart is on the left."
"..." Kurosawa froze, slowly moved his hand to the left, and forcefully explained: "My hand trembled for a while, I made a mistake."
Sakura: "..."
"Heart discomfort is a big deal, don't be joking." She sighed silently, with a look of helplessness on her face.
"I'm not kidding." Kurosawa put down his hand, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on that handsome face, and a golden light seemed to shine in his eyes.
Seeing this expression on his face, Sakura unconsciously froze in place, and her cheeks seemed to be slightly hot.
Immediately, she saw Heize stretching out a hand slowly, holding her palm, and winking at her mischievously: "Because I haven't seen anyone, my heart is like a knife The pain is unbearable, but now, I have met you..."
The corners of his lips curled into a nice curve, and the corners of his eyes showed a bit of cunning.
"Can you tell me where Naruto is now?"
On the side of Ino, Yukimura, and Shikamaru, and on the side of Sakura, Naruto, and Kurosawa, the new friend Choji moved a comfortable chair to sit on the outermost end.
With a decent smile, Kurosawa spoke to Naruto from time to time, and occasionally brought up the topic of Yukimura, so that they could quickly get acquainted with each other.
Fortunately, Naruto's character is very carefree, with a bright smile on his face, he seems to be able to get along with anyone happily, so that within a few minutes, almost everyone at the table was talking and laughing, not at all like he was just now. I know the same.
While Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help feeling a little fond of Naruto.
He is like the sun in the sky, so warm that people want to get closer.
However, when Kurosawa looked at Naruto and Sakura with a relaxed expression and was about to speak to persuade them, he suddenly noticed a somewhat sharp gaze from the opposite side.
With a finger pause, Kurosawa turned his head reflexively and looked, only to see Shikamaru who was sitting opposite him with his chin resting on one hand, with neither sad nor happy expression, just staring at his face silently, after the two eyes met, then He calmly looked away and reached out to grab a piece of barbecue.
Although he behaved very naturally, Kurosawa clearly caught the doubt and distrust that flashed in his eyes.
Nara Shikamaru, a very clever ninja...
Recalling that Yukimura had told him in the morning to be careful about Shikamaru and not to expose his feet, Kurosawa quickly lowered his eyes and thought about it secretly.
Although their performance from their appearance to their seating was almost impeccable, but if you think about it carefully, they are full of doubts, and no matter how you look at it, you can't dispel the other party's concerns.
Then it's better to adopt the previous method, be simple and rude, forcefully improve the other party's favor, and let him reduce suspicion as much as possible.
After deciding on the method, Kurosawa's eyes darkened, he sighed deeply in his heart, and finally raised his head slowly.
"Shikamaru." He called Shikamaru softly, and when the other party looked at him with raised eyebrows, he showed a gentle smile, and pointed to his own cheek at the same time: "This one is dirty."
Seeing his movements, Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and quickly rubbed his cheek: "Oh, thank you."
"It wasn't wiped clean." Kurosawa smiled helplessly, and then kindly reminded: "It's going up a little bit."
According to his prompt, Shikamaru rubbed upward again, but no matter how much he tried to wipe the skin clean, the arc of Kurosawa's lips on the opposite side was getting bigger and bigger.In the end, Kurosawa sighed lightly, stood up suddenly, leaned forward, and stretched out a hand to his cheek.
Staring at his movements, Shikamaru shrunk back subconsciously, his brows furrowed tightly, trying to avoid this intimate movement, but what he didn't expect was that Kurosawa's hand didn't reach out directly to him Instead, he turned in a different direction on the way and grabbed his wrist directly.
The moment the skin was touched, a hot temperature rushed to the limbs, Shikamaru stared blankly into Kurosawa's eyes, only felt that the place touched was numb, and a strange feeling spread in the bottom of his heart.
He saw Kurosawa's eyes slightly bent and smiled at him. The amber luster in his eyes seemed to contain a galaxy full of stars. Immediately, the other party grabbed his wrist, pulled his fingers to touch his cheeks, and gently rubbed rubbed.
"Sorry, it seems that you don't want to be touched by others, so you have to make a bad move." Kurosawa tilted his head apologetically, slowly let go of Shikamaru's arm, and sat back on the seat: "It's already It's clean."
"...Thank you." The weird feeling just now made Shikamaru immediately alert, but no matter how he thought about the intention of this action, the pair of beautiful golden eyes that were reflected in his mind were still lingering Go, even his fast-running brain was a little tired, messy and unable to analyze rationally.
Tsk, did he suffer from an illusion?
Dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of his proud mind, Shikamaru smacked his mouth in displeasure, picked up chopsticks and added a piece of barbecued meat to supplement his nutrition.
On the opposite side, Kurosawa, who had successfully activated his ability, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and absent-mindedly picked up a few pieces of meat and ate them.I have to say that this kind of ability that requires skin-to-skin contact is too troublesome, so every time he chooses a routine of "this place is dirty, let me wipe it for you" or directly grab the opponent's wrist, but ignore It was very abrupt, but fortunately the other party was not so vigilant, and finally succeeded.
"Kurosawa-kun, can I ask you something?" Just as he was chewing food by himself in silence, Sakura at the side suddenly looked at him hesitantly and asked softly.
Kurosawa quickly put on a gentle look: "Of course."
"I want to ask... Sasuke, how is he doing now." Sakura lowered her head and said in a cautious tone: "After all, what happened...is he okay?"
As soon as these words came out, the people who were talking and laughing just now fell silent instantly, and there was an unspeakable sense of heaviness in the air.
Kurosawa had a panoramic view of everyone's dignified expressions, and then picked a few key points and said: "When I saw him for the first time, I was seriously injured, but his recovery is very good, and he can move freely in three days. Well, there shouldn’t be any problems other than the psychological blow, but now to catch Eight Tails... I don’t know much about it.”
"That man with eight tails, what's his name? What kind of person is he! Is he powerful?!" As soon as his voice fell, Naruto asked impatiently, his blue eyes were full of worry, and he didn't care. I don't know if I'm worried about Sasuke or Yatsuo.
However, Kurosawa caught a clue in his words.
people?So, that eight-tailed Kirabi is a person? !
Since Uchiha Madara asked Sasuke to catch Eight-tailed Kirabi, and asked him to come to Konoha to supervise Naruto... can it be considered that Naruto is also a tailed beast, and if he gathers all the tailed beasts, Madara can gain powerful power!
His thoughts turned back and forth, but there was still a perfect smile on his face: "I don't know much about this, but Sasuke should be very powerful, right?"
"Ahhh!!" Hearing this, Naruto couldn't help scratching his head in distress, shaking violently: "I'm so annoying, why did Sasuke and 'Akatsuki' become a team, that bastard!!"
"May I ask, what is the 'Xiao' you keep talking about?" Kurosawa quietly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked naturally, "Is it an evil organization?"
"Yes! Xiao's group of guys are all rebels, they specialize in collecting tailed beasts, and the leader, Payne..."
"Naruto!" Naruto was still pouring bitter water excitedly, but was suddenly interrupted by a high-pitched voice: "This is a secret."
Shikamaru looked at him disapprovingly, and shook his head slightly.
cut.
Kurosawa smacked his tongue secretly, but on the surface he still nodded understandingly and said: "You're right, I'm too curious."
"Ah..." Looking at his gentle face, Naruto scratched his head a little uneasily, secretly glanced at Shikamaru who was expressionless, and looked back dejectedly: "...Sorry."
In his heart, he has long regarded Kurosawa as his little partner who fought against the masked man, but now that Shikamaru has poured a bucket of cold water on him, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little dignified, Yukimura, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly stood up and gave everyone a comfortable smile: "It's getting late, I've disturbed everyone for so long, and Hibiki will take my leave first, thank you Treat."
Kurosawa also stood up cooperatively: "That's right, then everyone, I had a great time playing today, see you another day."
When the figures of the two disappeared from sight, Naruto suddenly looked at Shikamaru with an aggrieved gaze, and his face swelled into a bun shape: "Che, Shikamaru is a cheapskate, everyone is friends, you see they all go away I must be angry!"
"That's right, Shikamaru!" Ino, who watched Yukimura go away, immediately poured out his anger on Shikamaru: "I want to say a few more words to Yukimura-kun, it's all your fault!"
Shikamaru, who has a lot of blame on his back: "..."
"It's long-winded." He sighed helplessly, and said lazily, "You should also be more vigilant, don't see anyone as a good person."
"He is a good person, idiot, idiot, Shikamaru, idiot!"
"That's right, Shikamaru idiot!"
Shikamaru:"……"
On the other side, Kurosawa, who had already got the information he wanted, raised his mouth in a good mood, and walked side by side with Yukimura on the street while talking about his discovery.
"So that's it, Tailed Beast?" After listening, Yukimura rested his chin in one hand and thought about it: "But there is no trace of Naruto hiding the Tailed Beast at all."
"I'm not too clear about this issue, and further information is needed." Kurosawa nodded in agreement: "The next target can be regarded as gaining their favor... Today Shikamaru's vision seems to see through everything It seems that it makes me a little uneasy, it is better to choose a place where he is not there next time."
"Don't underestimate Shikamaru's IQ, he is a very scary man. But if I get rid of him, I can do something." Yukimura smiled, and suddenly pointed to his left wrist with his right hand, Kurosawa felt strange Looking over, I saw a small black spot stuck to the small piece of skin where the cuff meets. If you don't look carefully, you almost think it is a mole.
Kurosawa's eyes suddenly lit up: "Another monitor?"
"That's right." Yukimura glanced at him approvingly: "Use it to search for Naruto's location, and the data will be sent directly to the AI. We just need a chance encounter."
There is no chance in this world, only necessity.
-
In the next few days, Naruto was surprised to find that almost every time he went to the street, he would see Kurosawa and Yukimura, sometimes he greeted, sometimes the other party greeted, in short, the number of contacts More and more frequently, as if there seems to be something in the dark as a traction.
"Naruto." On this day, Kurosawa walked into Ichiraku Ramen leisurely, and "coincidentally" met Naruto: "We meet again."
"Yo, Kurosawa." Naruto raised his hand to greet him with a smile: "I've met so many times recently, it's really amazing."
"Really?" Kurosawa sat down beside him, picked up the menu of ramen, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said flatly: "Maybe it's because I like to hang out on the street recently, so it's easy to come across Bar."
"Maybe." Naruto nodded carelessly, and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "This is something called fate!"
Hearing this, Kurosawa smiled with his eyes narrowed, and suddenly raised his tone: "Then to celebrate this fate, I'll treat you to some ramen, boss, two servings of char siu ramen!"
"Ohhhh!! You are such a nice guy Kurosawa!!! Awesome!!!"
What answered him was Naruto's exclamation.
Two bowls of hot ramen were brought up, with a hint of drift, which instantly aroused the appetite of Kurosawa and Naruto. The two looked at each other tacitly, and picked up the chopsticks with smiles: "I'll start..."
"Uzumaki Naruto." An abrupt voice interrupted the two of them.
Naruto looked back inexplicably, and saw a ninja-like person with a fox mask standing behind him at some point, nodded to him, and said, "Hokage-sama, please."
"Grandma Tsunade?" Naruto was very confused when he handed himself over to this point, he scratched his head in confusion, looked at the ramen in front of him and sighed heavily: "It seems that I can't eat it, ramen... "
"Hurry up and see Master Hokage and come back to eat." Kurosawa looked at his expression with a smile, and promised: "I will watch for you, don't worry."
"Really?!" Naruto blinked happily, stood up energetically, turned his head and shouted at Kurosawa as he walked out, "Then please, I'll be right back!"
"I see."
Seeing Naruto's disappearing back, Kurosawa couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, picked up his chopsticks again and ate his ramen slowly.
He ate very slowly, occasionally stopping his chopsticks to glance behind him.
However, until the sun was setting and the remaining soup at the bottom of the bowl had solidified into a white layer, the golden figure still did not appear in front of his eyes.
Kurosawa silently glanced at the clock on the wall, then shifted his gaze to the already cold ramen, suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, put the copper coins in his hand on the table, put his hands in his pockets, and didn't look back out of the store.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow very long. Accompanied by Qian Se, he walked on the street and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
Before he realized the reason for this emotion, suddenly, his eyes froze, and he suddenly found a familiar figure sitting on a bench at the corner of the street.
He was wearing casual clothes, with his head bowed, a few strands of blond hair were disheveled across his forehead, covering his eyes, and he was holding two connected popsicles in his hand, sitting there motionless, looking extremely lonely.
As if out of tune with the surrounding hustle and bustle, hiding alone in a dark corner, like a confused and overwhelmed child.
Kurosawa looked at Naruto who seemed to have been hit by something in surprise, turned his footsteps, and walked in his direction.
However, in the next second, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A teardrop fell from the corner of Naruto's eye.
There was a ripple in his heart.
Naruto...was crying.
Naruto, who had always been smiling brightly and optimistically, actually cried!
This realization made Kurosawa stand still in surprise, not knowing whether to take back the step he took or continue walking.
He looked at Naruto, whose eyes were filled with tears, and his expression was full of sadness. He pursed his lips a little helplessly, and his mechanical brain gradually started to work.
Something sad must have happened. If he passed now, it might make the situation even more embarrassing... Sure enough, we should go back first.
Even if he wants to comfort him or something, it has nothing to do with his position.
His eyes darkened, and Kurosawa, who made up his mind, finally took a deep look at Naruto who was crying, sighed softly, then slowly backed up his pace, and walked home alone with the setting sun.
Well, let's check the situation again tomorrow.
……
However, what he didn't expect was that when he sent out the bug-shaped monitor to search for Naruto's trace the next day, it turned out to be empty.
"How is it?" Kurosawa looked seriously at Yukimura, who was directing the bug monitor, and asked anxiously, "Is there any trace of Naruto?"
"I've searched inside Konoha, but there's nothing there." Yukimura shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly, making his handsome face look very serious: "Sure enough, he's no longer in Konoha."
"I saw him crying alone on the street last night, and he disappeared today. Is there any connection between this?" Kurosawa held his chin in one hand, pondered for a while, and finally could only helplessly rub his forehead: "I have no choice but to ask others. I should be able to catch some clues."
"Okay, let's split up and go now."
"kindness."
Although he came to the main street with all his might, Kurosawa was still at a loss as to who he was going to ask. He wandered back and forth on the street in a daze, hoping to meet some familiar figures.
Fortunately, among a group of ordinary villagers shopping, the ninja's attire is very conspicuous.
Unintentionally catching that figure, Kurosawa's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly ran towards him, not forgetting to give himself a yeah in his heart.
"Mr. Kakashi." He pretended to be surprised and came to Kakashi's side, and was the first to show a smiling face: "Long time no see."
Kakashi was holding a little yellow book in one hand at the moment, and was reading lazily. Seeing a familiar tone coming from his side, he paused his fingers slightly, and glanced lightly at the other party with one exposed eye: "...well, haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as he saw Kurosawa showing that elegant and malicious smile, the embarrassing incident on the street a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and the bad premonition gradually deepened in his heart.
so troublesome.
He sighed softly, and silently put "Intimate Heaven" into his ninja bag: "What's the matter?"
Kurosawa noticed his movements, his eyes followed the book unconsciously, his eyes moved slightly, and he raised his tone and made a teasing voice: "Hey~"
This sentence has been repeated thousands of times, and it seems to include all kinds of complicated meanings.
"..." Kakashi was a little horrified by him, and couldn't help but quickly took a few steps forward: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Of course there is something." Fearing that he would run away if he disagreed, Kurosawa hurriedly followed his steps, and said after considering his tone, "Where is Mr. Kakashi going?"
"...Go home." Obviously not wanting to answer this question, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before saying lazily.
"I haven't seen you recently, is it a mission?"
"No."
"What do you usually do?"
"Read a book."
"I'm looking for Naruto, has Mr. Kakashi seen him?"
As soon as these words came out, Kakashi's steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes became sharp. However, the next second, he returned to his lazy look, as if the scene just now was just an illusion: "He's on a mission."
"Hey...then when will he come back?" Kurosawa trembled in his heart, always feeling that things were gradually getting out of his control.
"I don't know." Hearing this, Kakashi stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Kurosawa, and his lifeless eyes also gave off a slight coolness: "What can you do with Naruto?"
Surprised by the change in his surroundings, Kurosawa's fingers froze, and he showed a bright smile reflexively: "...Yeah, yesterday we agreed to eat ramen together, but today we suddenly couldn't find him , I'm just a little suspicious."
Almost careless, are you still doubting him, Kakashi?
"Really?" Kakashi looked at him silently for a long while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, and waved at him: "Anyway, he went out to do a mission, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so don't follow me anymore Brat."
Immediately, he quickly made a seal, and disappeared in place with a puff of smoke rising.
"Tch, who is the brat, this uncle." After his figure disappeared, Kurosawa slowly withdrew his smile, muttered softly, and turned back without looking back.
While walking, he was also analyzing the information he had just obtained.
It is certain that Naruto is not in Konoha, but Kurosawa still has some disbelief when it comes to doing missions. Naruto’s state yesterday is not good, how could he be sent to do missions, and Naruto should be Isn't the person Konoha wants to protect the most?
Wait a minute... the person I want to protect the most.
Kurosawa paused, pondered for a moment, and a possibility vaguely appeared in his mind.
Did Konoha hide Naruto?Hidden in a secret place that no one knows.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Thinking about Kakashi's vigilance against his questioning just now, he felt that the other party had clearly realized the importance of Naruto, and he didn't intend to let any suspicious person approach him.
Although this strategy is very good, but... what should he do now? !
Kurosawa scratched his messy black hair with a headache, and just wanted to let out a long sigh of helplessness. Now that Naruto, an important mission goal, is missing, he can hardly walk an inch now, and there is a mission assigned to him by Uchiha Madara behind him , The pressure is huge.
Just as he was wandering along the street in a daze and silently thinking about his next step, when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly come to a forest, and it seemed that there was no one around.
...Where is this?
Kurosawa looked around suspiciously, knowing that it was impossible for him to walk out of Konoha, so he chose a random direction and walked slowly to the depths, trying his luck.
He was concentrating on walking slowly in the forest, observing the surroundings with great interest from time to time, but when he happened to catch a glimpse of a red robe with a black background, he suddenly froze in place.
In an instant, the memory left by the blackness flashed back in his mind like a horse on a horse, and the tension that penetrated into the bone marrow made his body freeze in place, and he couldn't take a step under his feet.
He twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and gradually moved his gaze upwards: This is really... I can't laugh.
"Long time no see, Kurosawa." The orange mask clearly reflected in his eyes, and with a familiar voice, the man walked closer: "It seems that you are living well in Konoha."
"...Long time no see." Kurosawa tightened his body, took a deep breath in his heart, and a trace of just right surprise flashed in his eyes: "How can you appear here?"
"Why can't I." Ah Fei said with unshakable confidence in his tone: "Ah, do you mean Konoha's guards? How can that level of security stop me, it's too naive."
Surprised by his certainty, Kurosawa couldn't help recalculating Ah Fei's force value, and the expression on his face became more and more natural: "It's really powerful, so why come here today...?"
"Don't forget the task I left you." Ah Fei changed his original incongruity when we met, and every time he spoke, he felt a sense of oppression: "Keep an eye on Naruto Uzumaki."
"Of course." Kurosawa replied sincerely, only feeling a bad premonition rushing into his heart: "I have already established a good relationship with Naruto."
"Very good." A Fei praised him like a compliment: "Is he still in Konoha now?"
"No." Kurosawa frowned: "He happened to be on a mission today."
"A task? What task?"
"This... I don't know too well, I just know that he is not in Konoha now, and everyone's tone is very strict, so..."
"Trash!" Hearing this useless information, Ah Fei immediately yelled in a cold voice, and the hem of his cuffs swayed in the air, revealing an invisible vicious force.
Kurosawa was startled by the cold air he radiated, the hair on his back stood up instantly, and he was very energetic in his heart.
Tsk, damn it, if the other party is furious and wants to kill him...the only option is to give up this villain and run away first, the best policy is to save his own life first.
He secretly tightened every nerve, lowered his eyes silently, so that Ah Fei would not notice the light in his eyes, and at the same time, he used his peripheral vision to look at the surrounding trees, in order to find a place to hide from the figure at the first time.
His preparations were perfect, but he still couldn't resist Ah Fei's teleportation-like attack.
Seeing the next thing, before Kurosawa's brain could react, his wrist was suddenly clenched by someone, with such force that he couldn't help clenching his teeth.
Tsk, what kind of perverted speed is this!
At this moment, Ah Fei was holding his hand tightly, staring at him without blinking, and in the exposed bloody eyes, three black spots shaped like hooked jade were clearly visible.
Looking at that eye, Kurosawa was slightly taken aback, and became a little dazed. He vaguely felt that this strange shape with one eye was somewhat similar to Kakashi. Could it be related?
However, before he could think more deeply, Ah Fei on the opposite side bullied him and looked down at him with cold eyes: "I'll give you another day."
Kurosawa: "...Huh?"
"Give you another day, tell me the location of Uzumaki Naruto." A Fei let go of his hand, and took a step back calmly: "I will still be here at this time tomorrow, if you don't show up on time...or play tricks What kind of clever words, the consequences..."
His threatening tone was very casual, as if he was crushing a weak ant, casually: "Oh, you definitely don't want to know."
"I understand." Kurosawa nodded bitingly, watching A Fei turn around and disappear, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
He slowly leaned against a tree trunk, touched the sweat on his forehead expressionlessly, and sighed softly.
Sure enough, the force value is still not high enough, you have to hurry up and train, let this damn S-level world go to hell!
And that Uchiha Madara, he wouldn't mind sending him off for the last time!
……
Although he scolded the bastard Uchiha Madara in his heart, but in the face of a tomorrow full of hardships, Kurosawa still needs to obey the other party's words and collect as much information as possible on Naruto, which also explains how he should deal with Uchiha Madara. Offers a sliver of possibility.
So, he made a decisive decision and decided to go to Sakura who was in the same group as Naruto to find out some information.
Fortunately, searching for Sakura was not that difficult. After Kurosawa stayed at the Konoha Hospital for a while, he saw Sakura who seemed to have just finished work, pushing the door out.
He hastily greeted her: "Sakura, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Kurosawa-kun." She didn't expect to be talked to, Xiao Ying was stunned, and stopped: "Are you injured, why did you come to the hospital?"
"Ah... yes." Following her words, Kurosawa forcibly changed his words and decided to make himself look more natural: "It's a little uncomfortable."
"Are you all right?" Xiao Ying suddenly looked over worriedly, and some uneasiness filled her blue eyes: "What's uncomfortable?"
"Uh..." Seeing her asking such a detailed question, Kurosawa hesitated for a moment, then suddenly covered the right side of his chest with one hand, and said two words with a painful expression: "...heart."
Sakura: "...Kurosawa-kun, the heart is on the left."
"..." Kurosawa froze, slowly moved his hand to the left, and forcefully explained: "My hand trembled for a while, I made a mistake."
Sakura: "..."
"Heart discomfort is a big deal, don't be joking." She sighed silently, with a look of helplessness on her face.
"I'm not kidding." Kurosawa put down his hand, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on that handsome face, and a golden light seemed to shine in his eyes.
Seeing this expression on his face, Sakura unconsciously froze in place, and her cheeks seemed to be slightly hot.
Immediately, she saw Heize stretching out a hand slowly, holding her palm, and winking at her mischievously: "Because I haven't seen anyone, my heart is like a knife The pain is unbearable, but now, I have met you..."
The corners of his lips curled into a nice curve, and the corners of his eyes showed a bit of cunning.
"Can you tell me where Naruto is now?"
