Remnant bones

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves. ——This sentence is applied to Kado, but it is quite the essence of it.

CKL, who has restrained his whole body, hides behind the dense branches and leaves at the top of an old tree with a skillful camouflage.I pulled the black collar of my mask, and stared coldly at the luxurious banquet that was completely opposite to the depression and barrenness outside the wall.Pleasant singing, rich food, and the seductive geisha who is the favorite of the pleasure-seekers...a wine pool and meat forest that is almost the same no matter which world.

It's just that the owner of this luxurious banquet is not the Kado mentioned earlier, but his financial manager - Kenren Zeshui.

His long black hair was tied back, and a pair of well-crafted round eyes rested on the bridge of his nose.This man known as "Yingzhi Zeshui" is only in his early thirties, with a thin body and a handsome appearance. If he is not familiar with his identity, who would have imagined that he would be a top-notch villain known for his betrayal and money laundering.

In the nearly ten years since he hung out in the underworld, he has served a total of fourteen masters, all of whom are well-known bullies in the underworld.However, for some unknown reason, he didn't stay by everyone's side for more than a year.And without exception, after he left, the gang owned by those people remained brilliant on the surface, but its owner abdicated due to various reasons within five years, and was controlled by the emerging forces under him.

Those organizations had their "hearts" changed inexplicably.

No one knows who is behind that person.Ordinary people don't notice it. Although many high-level ninja villages have noticed it before, because the other party has no sign of interfering with the ninja forces, they have always just wandered around in the world of ordinary people. Existence... So far, no one can figure out how much property this man "Ze Shui" owns, let alone what his purpose is?

After all, I'm just a person who "runs errands and works part-time", and I'm still the kind with multiple bodies.I was originally just an ordinary person, a nobleman in the world, so of course I know how dangerous it is to let such dark forces develop!It's just... who am I going to tell?

Tell three generations?He would pay attention to it, but it's a pity that he has more than enough heart but not enough energy.Konoha has a lot of messes waiting for him to clean up. It is more practical to leave this kind of thing to the daimyo of the Fire Nation.

Tell Orochimaru and Payne?This kind of people who believe that ninjas are superior to others in their bones disdain to meddle in the affairs of ordinary people... Although they rely on the missions issued by ordinary people to raise funds, it is a pity that they never pay attention to the confrontation of power and influence.

I only do this kind of thankless thing when I'm too idle to panic... Although it's not that I'm not interested in the mastermind behind it, but now is not the time to waste time on this kind of thing.

At least "Shadow Paper" appeared here, which meant that Kado was his next target.I just hope I get what I want before he empties the other person's coffers.However, the trouble is that although Kado's headquarters has moved to the country of Bo, according to the information in my hand, I have never been able to determine the location of the vault where the two medicinal herbs are stored.

It's not too hidden, but... too much!

Thinking of the location of the vault I visited these days, I couldn't help my eyes hurting.Those vulgar and golden collections almost blinded my remaining left eye.And the sum of those two-digit numbers starting with three characters is less than one-fifth of his total treasury...Damn it!No matter how patient I am, I am not here to test the anti-theft system for him!

I don't know how Zeshui got Kado's trust and trust, but at least I can confirm that those treasuries are managed by him.

Violently extorting a confession, this kind of low-level method used by low-level rebels... I don't want to use it, but I have no choice but to use it. The most direct one is always the simplest and most practical!

Put away Konoha's signboard - forehead protection, if you reveal your identity and get approached by the third generation, it will be troublesome.I gripped tightly the small Taidao that I took from the vault to hide my identity. This exquisite short sword is more like a handicraft than a murder weapon. Although the scabbard is a bit flashy, it can at least last until I finish this vote... The premise is , that Zeshui is really just an ordinary person without CKL.

Within the field of vision, the thin black-haired figure thanked him, stood up, and left the room of obscene and depraved desires.As stated in the information, he will never participate in the "extra meal" in the second half of the banquet.I don't know whether to praise him as a villain of the underworld for his asceticism, or pure... cleanliness?

Slowly narrowing his eyes, his right eye, which instantly turned into a beast, had a clear view of the surrounding security forces.As expected, when Kaduo went to the station, he didn't leave many ronin with swords and hired rebels, and there were Zabuzhan and white restraints over there, so I could let go and do it completely according to the plan.

Seeing that the other party entered the relatively secluded courtyard behind the mansion, I bent slightly and jumped down.The extremely fast speed disappeared before everyone could react. Except for professionals, even those with better eyesight could only see an afterimage.

Standing silently behind the opponent, I slowly drew out the blade, but when the cold metal pressed against the opponent's vitals, I was blocked by a maroon wooden box within a safe range.

trap! ?Subconsciously, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked terrified. If I couldn't hold back secretly, I decisively prepared to retreat, and chose to leave or look for a new attack opportunity depending on the situation.

Is it really a ninja?However, I really didn't find any trace of CKL... If it's a disguise, the opponent is definitely not of ordinary level!Not even that pitcher plant can escape my detection.

A striking crack was left on the smooth wooden surface, the black-haired man remained motionless, but Mu Ran called out in a low voice: - "Kaguya... Jun Mai."

Half of his body was hidden in the shadows, and the half that was still outside was suddenly shocked by the sudden familiar name and froze in place.

How did he know?

Sensing my reaction, the man named Zeshui slowly raised the corners of his lips.The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the thin transparent lens, and the refracted light red halo blurred the sight of each other, but it also made the slightly ordinary face reveal an indescribable... coquettish.

"I am humble in Xiazeshui, by the order of my master..." The black-haired man bowed gracefully, gently pushing the mirror frame, and said with a smile, "It will be a long time waiting."

"...I don't think I have anything to do with your master." Looking at this posture, it is obvious that I came prepared... I don't think that my current appearance will be recognized by strangers who only rely on their characteristics.After all, my gray hair is not as eye-catching as the original white hair, and the light color at the root of the hair is often overlooked by people... especially when I deliberately cover it up.

And in my memory, there is only one person who has seen me like this...

"No, I made a slip of the tongue. My master doesn't know you very well, but there is someone who is an 'old friend' you haven't seen for five years." Shaking the wooden box in his hand, Zeshui smiled meaningfully ...is slightly unnatural.

Squinting his eyes and examining it carefully, the box does look familiar.However, I couldn't help being surprised when the familiar smiling face related to it appeared in my mind, but it was more difficult to conceal the slight twitching of the forehead: "'Sakuragi Box'——you and Yae are in the same group."

As for why they don't say that they are in a master-servant relationship... People who are familiar with Yae will not feel that he has any appearance of being a master or a servant!

However, it would be deceiving to say that I was not surprised.That narcissistic transvestite is indeed not suitable to be a master, but he is not a person who can submit to others. However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that their cooperation is not a matter of a day or two.It turned out that the strangeness at the beginning...was not my illusion.

【Betrayal has existed from the very beginning...】

I forgot where I heard this sentence. At that time, I just smiled meaninglessly, but now, I can only smile wryly in my heart.

"I think Mr. Kaguya misunderstood something." It seemed that after unraveling the mysterious veil, the false disguise was obviously unnecessary.

Zeshui relaxed his facial nerves, showing a laziness and indifference that only those who are familiar with his nature have seen on his face.The dark eyes behind the lens, the keen insight that seems to be able to see through everything, makes people feel chills: "We need to have a good chat... It's clean and remote, and the annex is a good choice."

I stared coldly at this gentle man whose disguise was far tougher than that gray-haired little fox, but not much less difficult than Orochimaru. I was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "As you wish."

Zeshui twitched the corners of his mouth, but his bland smile was much more natural than the previous elegant smile. Obviously, he usually smiled like this: "Please come inside."

As a result, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the annex, a giant flower butterfly exuding a charming fragrance rushed towards him.

"Dear little Mai~ Do you miss me? I miss you so much~ Is there any surprise? Is there any touch? I came here specially to find you~ Give me a hug... Oops! You are hiding from me again !" Familiar tone, familiar words, familiar flying, familiar...

Looking at the narcissistic butterflies on the ground with a dark face, I squinted my eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "Chun, Mo, the ban is lifted...add 'dinner' to dinner!" The two little guys, who have always been strictly bitten by living creatures, poked their heads out from under my cuffs excitedly.

The hissing sound, accompanied by the bright red snake letters that kept coming out, screamed and hid behind the "childhood sweetheart", but was kicked out mercilessly by the other party: "Xiao Shui, you can't treat me like this~ You know that people are most afraid of snakes~"

"Of course I know." Obviously, the person who released the snake also knew.

Zeshui pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, with a dull and indifferent expression, without the slightest hint of "compatriot love" and slowly said: "But, do I 'know' you?" This shameful guy... the devil admits that he knows him !

"My condolences." Closing the door smoothly, I said "comfort" with the same expression as the other party.

A generation of gorgeous beauty (self-proclaimed) Yae, tears, "soul returned" to the belly of the snake under the help of two cold-blooded people... "Last words before death": - "Reptiles are the most annoying..."

————————————————————

On this side, the containment plan of Bai and Zaibuzhan's group was barely smooth, but it was somewhat unexpected.

"There is no obvious trauma to the back and front chest, slight internal organ displacement, plus the damage to the body caused by the 'feigned death'... With the prescription left by Kaguya, it can be restored to its full strength within a week." He has been an apprentice for so many years, and others don't understand it for nothing, but he can memorize the other party's physical information with no difference in score even if he closes his eyes.

Looking at the firm muscles in front of him, Bai squinted his eyes in satisfaction, but took out another dark green medicinal paste that had been finely ground, smiled unexpectedly and said forcefully: "Then, Please don’t behead me and take off your clothes, I will apply medicine to the wounds on your arms and legs.”

His whole body was weak, and his neck was immobilized by a thick bandage, and he was lying on the big bed in the bedroom of the temporary residence. Seeing the ointment, he would never have frowned even when the wound was sutured without anesthetic. Li, stunned, collapsed in an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched and his face was full of disgust, and he said: "I remember, I have already taken the medicine!"

"That's for stopping the bleeding, and this is for removing the scars." He dutifully explained the reason, and he didn't seem to have the extravagant hope of getting permission. Bai, like every time before, behaved gently but did not give the other party any rejection at all, taking advantage of the other party's immobility , took the opportunity to pull it out.

As soon as his lower body was cold, the roots of his ears turned red, but his face turned into a snarl from embarrassment: "Bai, scars are men's medals! I'm not a woman, so don't you need to look for something like that! Take it away!"

Leaving aside his instinctive aversion to that woman's rare drug, the strange side effects of that drug were the main reason for his disgust.

Kaguya's medicine is indeed easy to use, but because the medicine is too powerful, the weird side effects are really unbearable.

For example, the hemostatic medicine that was used earlier, but only one night, the deep cut formed a scar.Don't talk about seven days, the trauma will be healed in less than three days, but since the medicine was applied, I haven't had a good night's sleep without cutting it!

After trauma, it is normal to have a fever due to a minor infection.Since ninjas have a much higher physique than ordinary people, this kind of situation rarely happens. It is not to mention a fever, but a slightly high body temperature is unavoidable.However, it is precisely because the body temperature is generally high at this time, and the wound is as cold as winter, which becomes more and more obvious... The chill that seems to seep into the bones, meets the heartburning heat, and it is nothing more than ice and fire.

He can sleep, that's the hell!

As for the cold medicinal ingredients, that lump of green medicinal paste accounted for more than one-third, and it was not chopped off by Bai Yin more than once, and I didn't want to experience the kind of people who fry it first and then freeze it. , Frying and then freezing (...Actually, you can substitute YY into == for this paragraph) terrible experience!It is more comfortable to be stabbed twice by Kakashi with Kunai.

"If you don't kill your lord, the man who can stand among powerful enemies without leaving the slightest scar is the real strong man." Mizunagiki smiled deadly and hit the target like a solitary killer.

Bai smiled sincerely and said: "My lord is a real strong man, so Bai doesn't want the slightest scar to be left on my lord." Forgive him for not being able to look directly at the thing behind the scar... So, Erasing it became the only thing he could do.

"...This is Bai's only hope." There was a trace of pleading, a trace of expectation, and a trace of sadness that could not be concealed in the gentle smile.

No longer beheaded, he was stunned for a while, but he lost his mind on the other party's rare persistence.

It's different from that Bai who was just obedient and obedient before.Now nearly fifteen years old, the black-haired boy has a slender body that looks extraordinarily slender. Coupled with his soft and delicate appearance, if it weren't for the ninja-style ring outfit, he would be more like a young girl... girl, so weak It's hard to be defensive.

The same pure smile that has never changed, the same soft heart that is hard to beat the killer, the same pure and simple wish... After that, there is an attachment that has never appeared before.

Did you grow up...

Faced with such a change, Zabu Zhan didn't know how to deal with it.But there is always one thing that has not changed - regarding his smile, no matter how hard he is, he will always make a choice that is not in line with the "ghost man" style.

"...Okay." In the end, Zabuzhan chose to compromise just like every time before.

Bai's satisfied smile was even worse, but he clapped his hands to put the other party on, and gently covered the other party with a quilt: "Thank you, my lord." In fact, he had already finished the work when the other party was in a daze.

Don't cut it with hindsight, black line.

... He can be sure that Bai was definitely spoiled by that white-haired man! ! !

"Then don't behead my lord, I'll peel an apple for you~" Before the other party's sporadic flames ignited, Bai extinguished it with a pot of warm water.It seems that the two of them enjoyed such a rare time together, and the flexible Bai even cut a sliced ​​apple into a cute rabbit shape.

Just when the livid-faced "ghost man" refused to be fed, the unlucky guy appeared.

"You were also defeated, and you fled back in embarrassment!" Kado, a short winter melon with a mouth full of thorns, sneered and took two swordsmen dressed as ronin, and swaggered in: "It seems that the people from the Kingdom of Water Mist ninjas are trash!"

With a backhand, he didn't know where to hide the apple, and Bai, who knew that he would not cut the bottom line, turned his head to look at the trio who obviously came to provoke, but had no intention of talking back.This is expected sooner or later, but the timing chosen by the other party is really not good.

Ju He Zhan... just two guys who can't get on the stage.

Let him talk nonsense and get out of here.It is obvious that the body of Mr. Buchou is not suitable for using force, and he doesn't want to see blood... I just hope these guys don't go too far.

However, Bai's kindness was obviously taken by the other party as weak connivance.

Dissatisfied with the exorbitant asking price of Renren from the very beginning, one of the stingy rich men in the world spared no effort to belittle these two employers who failed in the mission.In the beginning, Bai, who adhered to the principle of low-key conduct, was still distracted thinking about the dinner menu, knowing that the idiot who knew no life was trying to challenge his bottom line.

"Take your dirty hands away from me..." There was a rare killing intent, Bai Bai lowered his face, and his delicate face was frozen with chilling frost.

Shiro, who had never been a martial arts ninja, easily broke Kado's hand bones in a fit of rage.In a panic, Kado's guard was about to strike, but was countered in an instant, allowing his sharp blade to reach his throat: "You guys better not do anything... I'm already angry!"

It is a common thing for people to be against the scales, and Bai's reverse scales just happen to be - never cut again.

However, for the idiot trio who didn't forget to take care of face before fleeing in embarrassment, Bai finally kept his hand.If they didn't kill them again, they might have to change employers.

"Don't behead my lord again..." On Bai's face, there was no residual killing intent at all, he returned to his original position with a smile and took out the apple, and said softly: "Please bear with it~ until Big Brother Hui Ye comes back."

If you don't chop and let go secretly, theoretically it should be weak and weak, but you hold Kunai's hand without trembling at all, looking at the apple rabbit that is approaching, there is no lack of annoyance and stern voice: "Give me your apple first." Throw it aside!"

Afterwards, it was proved by the empty porcelain plate... Bai, you just don't kill that natural black-bellied hypocrite who can be called "the nemesis of ten thousand years"~
