Remnant bones

"Hmm... so many medicinal herbs were wasted, it seems that it is not completely ineffective." Slowly opening my eyelids that no longer feel so heavy, I can't help but feel extremely gratified for my "struggle results" in the past three years.After all, it's better to have money... Those medicines that can barely alleviate the attack are not cheap!If it weren't for Dashewan who was so "wronged", it would be really hard to find someone willing to pay such a wronged money!

But... Recalling the "tragic experience" that he has squeezed out of me in the past few years, to be honest, there are indeed different levels of "being taken advantage of"!He basically no longer belongs to this lowest level of collective designation, perhaps... "Zhou Papi", which symbolizes the landlord class, is more appropriate.

Knowing that I am a patient, they still send some BT tasks like this.If it weren't for the good recuperation during this period, he would have to prepare some more "wool" and redeem me back! ...at least until the research on the seal is completed.

"Cough, cough... It's so dirty." Spitting out the stale blood in his mouth, the thick blood plasma has turned into a jelly-like shape, exuding a strange stench mixed with the fragrance of herbs.The body fragrance is emitted due to sweating, and the smell in the air at this time is really difficult to wait for.

Scratching my long wet hair, I frowned in disgust.Although there is no cleanliness, as long as a person with a normal sense of smell can't stand the smell.You have to spend at least two hours in the bathtub... Trouble.This kind of ghost place with extremely poor water resources still asks me to find water to take a bath.My water escape is really not very good!Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor... You can't go out like this.

It's a pity that the clothes... are stained with blood and dust, and I'm afraid they won't be able to wash them off.Regardless of the color, I really like this material!I'm afraid it's a waste... Forget it, there's no need to save money for Orochimaru.

Ignoring the "protests" that came from all over my body from time to time, I resisted the soreness and stood up while leaning on the wall.

Outside the window, there was only a little bit of golden afterglow left in the setting sun at the edge of the sky.Even though the recovery speed was much better than before, it was still difficult to recover after a long time.But in any case, at least it didn't delay the evening plan.

Speaking of which, I don't know what's going on with the little guy... I picked up a little CKL that didn't consume much at my fingertips, and the small faint blue flames fell on the dirty blood all over my body, and within a few moments, It burnt to the ground.I staggered and walked slowly towards the large abandoned house where there might be a bathroom.

Most of the layouts of the houses are similar, and I found the bathroom very smoothly... If an old wooden barrel with a finger-thick layer of dust can be regarded as a bath barrel, I think I have found it.

The corner of the mouth twitched slightly and started the clean-up work. Who told me that I am now an "illegal trespasser", staying in a hotel can be said to tell others clearly-"I am suspicious, come and investigate me".Obviously, between 'trouble' and 'appearance', as a man, I chose to avoid 'trouble' very out of character.

...Who stipulated that those who study medicine must have a serious cleanliness?Although cleanliness is not completely absent, the above facts can fully prove that my laziness is obviously more serious than cleanliness.

In a place like Shayin Village, the climate is not normally dry.And since water escape is not my specialty, with my terrifyingly precise control, it took me a lot of effort to clean the tub and fill it with clean water.

"Wow..." He took the scroll, which was not easy to see the water, and put it on the wooden stand beside him.I just put on my clothes, raised my legs and stepped into the bathtub.Immediately, the overflowing water splashed all over the place along the wooden wall.

My sensitive skin was suddenly stimulated by the cold water temperature, which made me shudder involuntarily: "Well...it's a bit cold." The temperature difference between day and night here is huge. Although it's only in the evening, the temperature is no less than [-] degrees higher than during the day .If you take a cold shower, it is indeed a bit cold... The problem is, I really don't have the energy to heat the water now.

Let's make do with it... Shrugging helplessly, I reached out and picked up the water and splashed it on my face.Gently rubbing the dried blood at the corner of my mouth, I suddenly found that I only felt a jerky and rough texture.

These bruises actually showed signs of solidification... Looking at the dark red powdery residue between my fingers, my complexion did not change, but the color of my pupils faded a lot in a daze.The ominous omen rising faintly in my heart was consciously suppressed in my heart.

Maybe the normal treatment method may be too late...

Wiping away the blood with my sleeve soaked in water, I took off the dripping blood-stained kimono and threw it on the ground outside the bathtub.With a crisp snap of the fingers, the familiar faint blue firework quietly ignited again.

The dreamlike and wonderful form is constantly changing, seemingly virtual and real, wandering on the edge of "dream" and "reality".The colors it presents are so cold and lonely, but there is a "Hua Wu" that is far hotter than life...

Leaning all my strength on the edge of the tub, I raised my head, took a deep breath, and slid my body into the water. My knee-length snow-colored hair covered the entire surface of the water like a tulle, floating up and down.

Tilting his head slightly, the ghostly blue shadow swayed uncertainly in his eyes.It is obviously fire, but it blooms in a form that only water has.The emanating faint light curtain seemed to envelop the dark room in a cool mist.

——The existence of devouring other things to show his short and poignant sadness.

A beautiful thing always ushers in the end of its own life at the most shining moment... Or, 'death' is the most beautiful existence in this world?

I couldn't help being absent-minded for a moment, and when I felt a sense of oppression in my chest, I realized that except for my eyes, most of my body was already submerged in the water.

"Cough, cough cough... Sure enough..." Holding the edge of the tub in a bit of embarrassment, I smoothed out the long hair that was clinging to my body because of the water, and couldn't help laughing softly at myself: "It's true that the more you live, the more you go back." Almost drowned myself in the tub...

However, recently, it’s okay to be able to move around. Is it because I’m getting older... Rubbing my eyebrows unconsciously, I realized for the first time that my behavior and dealing with things all the time, among people of the same age with this body It is so "different".

Doing the math, in my previous life plus this life, I'm already in my forties.Suddenly found that the "root" of this problem lies in the gap between the times.A sudden conclusion immediately stood out.Could it be... "menopause"?

It is almost a conditioned reflex in the mind, the "Mediterranean Sea" that is smooth and easy to learn from the vice president in the previous life, and only the "underwater plants" can be rarely cherished... Older = menopausal = vice president = "Mediterranean" "(!?)

"...—_—|||" My face is so paralyzed that I still can't help the black lines all over my face.Am I out of my mind... No matter how you look at it, Orochimaru is more in line with my future development tendency.Wait, something seems wrong... If I remember correctly, Orochimaru seems to be about the same age as me? !

"Crack!" Subconsciously, he clenched his fist with his right hand and knocked on the palm of his left hand.I suddenly realized that I raised my left eyebrow, and suddenly I had a feeling of enlightenment: "So that's it!" No wonder I can talk to him, our relationship is a generation!That is to say, if I treat Junmaro as a younger brother and pamper him, the bag is for "playing" like a son... huh?How did Dou become Junmalu's nephew?

"..." This relationship network...seems a bit messy...

Regarding my panic behavior that is obviously equivalent to "suicide" in a different place, I just made a mockery, but I was not strict enough to self-criticize.Being vigilant at all times does not mean that the nerves need to be tensed all the time.There is a degree of relaxation, and proper relaxation can maintain the functions of the whole body in a "standby state" that can enter a good state at any time.What's more, the various emergencies in recent days have made me feel a little tired after three years of "calm" life...

Things like "feelings" are more or less a "burden" for people like us who have weak mood swings... It may take more time to adapt.

Junmaro, Orochimaru, kid... It seems that my "capacity" is unexpectedly small!Even though I feel this way, deep down in my heart, I can still vaguely "see" a locked "empty house"... relatives, friends, objects of pity... what is missing? ?

After thinking about it for a long time, there is always a vague clue floating in my heart.However, I still can't grasp "it" firmly, and I always feel that there is something missing... I just hope that before my "time" is over, I can find the answer that will make me no longer confused.

There is always a feeling...it may completely change everything about me.

Unknown things are probably the only pursuit that can make people like us feel that we are still "alive"... It is because we have never owned that we look forward to it; ...is "alive".

It's just... now doesn't seem to be the right time to "think about the philosophy of life".Looking up, through the unique circular window frame of Shayin Village, one can see that the world full of yellow sand has long been shrouded in the vast night.

"It's almost time." After making a rough estimate, I couldn't help but whisper to myself.According to the plan, I don't have much free time to meditate and wander around now, not to mention that there is no such atmosphere here as it should be.

"Wow——" I got up and stepped out of the bathtub, and I "solved" the "evidence" of my stay here as usual, and found a new white kimono from the scroll to change into.

In order to create the illusion that the "wandering samurai" have left Sand Hidden Village, this time I plan to go in person in my usual image.Anyway, I'm just looking for news, the white clothes can't affect my level of concealment at all.Such a huge difference in appearance and purpose makes it difficult for the other party to associate the identities of the two.

Clenching my fists, I made a summary of my current physical condition in the shortest possible time.

I'm afraid he can only use less than 20% of his usual physical strength. If he has more than enough to escape, if he fights back... as long as he doesn't meet a shadow-level opponent, he can deal with it for about 10 minutes.However, judging from past experience, the "Bone Vein" still has some time before it can be activated.However, weapons are not something to worry about.As early as anticipating that this might happen, I prepared a spare sword before I set off, which I "borrowed" from Orochimaru's arsenal.

In terms of CKL, although there is no loss, due to the inability to use the "Bone Vein", it does not help much.The only sealing technique that can be used smoothly is obviously not suitable for use in actual combat. If you can't run into "Renzhuli", you can ignore it.

It can be summed up in one sentence - the worst can't be worse!

But let me just give up... there's no way.

I casually pinned the sword behind my back as a ninja would, and jumped down from the balcony. My light figure disappeared into the dark blue twilight after a few ups and downs.

Benefits are always accompanied by equal or even greater risks.It is impossible to have absolutely safe tasks in the world... I am not yet a ninja, but as a "dark resident", this is the most basic survival criterion.Again, this is not so different from the deep nature of ninjas...

I don't know if it was an unintentional accident, or a subconscious physical expression.On the way to Kazekage's office, I chose a route that is farther away, although it can avoid the sight of most people.

Leaping over the alley that has been a hiding place for the past few days, the barrier that was set up at the beginning is still there, but it is as empty as I expected.

Tonight, he won't come... Knowing that this is an inevitable result, I still have a trace of loss that I didn't even notice in my eyes.It's fine if you don't come...

"Tonight, I'm afraid I'll be 'very busy'..." Staring at the tallest building in Shayin Village, his cold gaze became more and more like the sunless ice in the depths of the polar region.
