Remnant bones

"I thought you came to me to 'settle accounts'." With the current situation, I am definitely not his opponent, and I have no plans to fight him unless I have to.It was only because I was dissatisfied with the condescending gaze of the other party that I forced myself to sit up and speak first, in order to try my best to resolve the passive situation between the two sides.

"No, I will die by your hands. It's because the kite skills are inferior to others." Without denying the weakness of our own members, the visitor replied unhurriedly: "'Xiao' has no obligation to avenge the members."

The first language confrontation between the two sides ended in a draw.

We didn't get to the point right away, in the dark, we looked at each other.

It's not the first time I've seen the same cape as Orochimaru.A head of short golden-red hair, standing upright like claws and teeth, does not match the extremely indifferent voice, full of a kind of high-spirited vitality.There was a deep scratch on the forehead protector, and it could be seen that he was Yu Nin's traitor.But the position below the nose is completely covered by the stand-up collar of the cloak, only revealing a pair of rather peculiar spiral pupils.

It's very rare... It's very similar to a legendary blood succession limit that I've seen before - Eye of Reincarnation.

Sage of the Six Paths, no matter how ignorant I am, I always see many legends related to it from many official and unofficial histories about the inheritance of ninja ninjutsu...but they are just legends.I didn't expect that kind of mythical existence to be passed down by blood, which really made me very interested in those eyes.

I couldn't help judging other abilities from the characteristics, but I frowned subconsciously, not because of the special ability of those eyes, but because of the eyes.

That kind of look always gives me an inexplicable familiarity... very similar to those "dead people" who fell under my hands.

The pupils are slack and have no focal rate. Although the eyes are on me, the changes of the pupil contraction cannot be observed.Compared with normal people, his skin is a kind of light greenish black, because of his darker skin color, it is not very obvious, and only people like me who have been with corpses all year round will notice it.Coupled with the lack of heartbeat and body temperature, even though no muscle stiffness or subtle changes can be seen, I began to doubt the identity of the other party-not referring to "Xiao", but whether he is still a human being.

Scanning the position of his right thumb, there is a ring with the same style as Orochimaru, except that the word on it is not "empty", but a "zero".

"Zero Wu"... In the depths of the light-colored eyes, there is a strange halo that flickers on and off.From the word "we" in his first sentence, it can be seen that his status in Xiaozhong is probably not low!Difficult guy...

At the same time, the other party also had a panoramic view of my undisguised actions.

In the beginning, because of his rare curiosity about the candidate recommended by "that person", he would rarely go out in person to test whether the other person is really what "that person" said.

Just judging from Kaguya-kun Mai's body alone, he couldn't help but doubt "that person"'s decision.

The condition of that body is obviously beyond the description of "bad" for anyone to see.To be more precise, whether he can survive this winter is a question worthy of everyone's doubts!Although the data shows that Kaguya-kun Mai is the only remaining blood-successor awakened member of the Kaguya clan among Orochimaru's subordinates, and he did kill the original "Three" in the case of serious injuries, but his condition made him even Joining Akatsuki would not be of much use value.

Is it really good to waste a precious quota? ... He had thought so, but soon had to change his mind.

From the short two-sentence conversation, he already felt that the other party was different from ordinary people's calmness and stability.He didn't ask about his identity, obviously because he had been prepared in his heart, and it was also a kind of confidence in his own strength.In those silver-white eyes, there was no trace of pretending to be calm, but undetectable vigilance and contemplation, apparently guessing his real intention.

This 13-year-old boy with pure white long hair does have a city and strength that adults rarely have.It's just that at this age, he can hide his emotions perfectly, even he can only judge based on intuition.Moreover, he gives people a feeling... such a person is absolutely impossible to be hit by a mere illness.

On the dead man's stiff and expressionless face, there was a rare squinting movement.Moreover, this kind of temperament and feeling is similar to "that person"... He seems to know the reason why he can get the attention from above.

And the movement of the other party sweeping his right hand, it can be seen that he has learned a lot about Akatsuki from Orochimaru.However, he didn't think that Dashewan would take the initiative to reveal it.That disgusting snake monster is far from being loyal, but at least he won't have a big mouth like Yuan, spouting information about the organization everywhere.

However, ignoring the opponent's disease, Kaguya-kun Mai is strong in battle, but it is difficult to attack in a large area, and he prefers physical skills.From this point of view, it is not worth their effort to win over.However, judging from the information obtained when looking for him, this level of medical and sealing skills just filled the vacancy of medical personnel and sealing leaders among the members.

Did "that person" also plan in this way... Gradually, he no longer had the initial rejection of absorbing the other party into Akatsuki.Even if it's not in place now, to be able to have this temperament similar to "that person"... just for this, Akatsuki can't let such a dangerous person grow up uncontrollably.

He is well aware of the horror of "that person"...even though he has no ambitions.

He was the first to break the silence, and he made an invitation directly: "I am the leader of 'Xiao'—Payne, and I am here to formally invite you to join our organization." Regardless of threats or lures, he is bound to win.

"I'm not interested." I expressed my thoughts bluntly, but considering the current strength gap between the two sides, I did not directly refuse.

Orochimaru is already a dangerous person, and it is imperative to deal with him, although he does not rule out his interest in him.But for "Xiao", which is composed of ten BTs of the same level as Orochimaru, I am very firm in listing it as the first forbidden area.

Not fear, but... trouble, countless troubles.

Due to the original "agreement", I have worked under Orochimaru for three full years for free... Well, it can only be regarded as cheap labor.Just that one time in Hidden Sand Village, for a single herb, I was almost confronted with the entire Anbu of Hidden Sand Village, although my personal reasons cannot be ruled out.But that is definitely not an easy job, "taking things" from under the eyes of those old immortals who are older than my two lifetimes combined, almost made me a bad start and never returned!As for the incident involving the little ghost, I think the whole story of the reason lies with me, and it is not counted as Orochimaru's head for the time being.

In addition, the easiest task on the task list that needs my "little help" is to deal with the treasure house and secret room of a country's daimyo.Not only would it consume my physical strength, which is worse than that of ordinary people, but it would also deplete a lot of brain cells.However, there is no commission for all of this, except for the remuneration exchanged for the part of the research equipment, in fact, I did not get even a tael of cash from Orochimaru!

The return that is completely unequal to the risk has prompted me to have an extreme resistance to doing cheap labor.An Orochimaru who uses the word "use" to the fullest has made me tired of dealing with it. Even if this "use" is mutual, it is precisely because it is someone I agree with that I have the patience to follow the "promise".

I don't think the "person" in front of me can get my approval.

And because the "deadline" is approaching, I don't have the time to "spend" so much.It is my ultimate goal to find a way for Jun Mai to get rid of her genetic disease as soon as possible.Even if "Xiao" can conquer the world, it doesn't mean it can solve my troubles at the moment...unless he comes up with conditions worthy of my heart.

Obviously, my answer was within Payne's expectations. To be correct, the data showed it very clearly—this is the most detailed data obtained from the secret line of the Orochimaru base. It is impossible for "Akatsuki" not to be among the personnel supporting Dashewan and not to do any tricks.Although that was the corresponding condition obtained when Orochimaru agreed to join "Akatsuki".

Without wasting words to persuade me, Payne reached out and took out something from his cloak, and showed it to me—a black scroll tied with a bright red string.

"I think you'll be interested in this." Turning around, he turned the side of the scroll facing me. Although it was partly covered by the rope, it didn't stop me from seeing what it represented: "This is something that Orochimaru tried hard at the beginning but couldn't get it. The secret technique - the technique of Senluo Xiangzhuan."

I couldn't help but instinctively opened my eyes wide, even if it was just for a moment, I was completely covered under the disguise.But obviously, it was too late.

It turned out to be... secretly clenched my palms, no matter how calm and calm I looked on my face, I couldn't deny the excitement and confusion deep in my heart at this moment.Unexpectedly, the secret book of that technique would actually be in the hands of "Xiao"... The other party really came prepared...

He lowered his head slightly, and in a corner that Payne couldn't see, there was an indescribably wry smile on the corner of his lips.As early as when I learned of the existence of this secretary from Orochimaru's related literature on the reincarnation of the dirt, I have been paying attention to its movements.

Orochimaru once put in a lot of effort to find it. Compared with the reincarnation technique with a lot of restrictions, although the restrictions of the Mori Elephant Turning technique are not much less, the damage to the soul is almost zero. Enough to drive him crazy.It is a pity that its existence seems to be just a legend. Orochimaru did not find any clues about it, and the time was tight, so he had to give up searching and focus on perfecting the technique of reincarnation at hand. aspect.

But I didn't give up... Half of the purpose of this trip is for it.I can't bear it, when I had to choose to use the body transformation method to solve this horribly hated genetic disease, Jun Malu's soul was thus damaged in the slightest.

But who would have thought that even this kind of secret technique that only appears in legends is in the hands of "Xiao"... No, when the reincarnation eye that is also unique in legends appeared in front of me like this At that time, one thing has been proved. I'm afraid the forces behind "Xiao" are not so terrible... But I obviously have no room to resist.

The shame and unwillingness of having to succumb to the opponent made me realize once again the horror of inhuman existence in this world.

Still, it's too weak... The ice in the eyes caused the temperature of the air to drop in a straight line.With a hoarse voice, I slowly said, "What am I going to do?" If I can become stronger and get that thing...

"Complete the tasks assigned by me and obey the call. At other times, the members of the organization are free to act." Knowing that I have no room for refusal, Payne is very satisfied with the smooth progress of the task, and regards the surrounding low temperature as nothing, and opens his mouth to explain The daily arrangements and obligations of the members of the organization: "Your biggest task is to heal the injured members. According to your physical condition, the assassination tasks will be reduced accordingly." As for the part of the seal, it cannot be disclosed yet.

"What's your request?" There was a trace of sarcasm, the corner of my mouth was fleeting, and there was special treatment?

"When performing tasks, you must wear uniform attire. There are ten official members, each of whom is equipped with a ring, and the nails must be dyed black." Payne gestured with his palms, and then continued: "The rings currently vacant are blue. , Zhu, three, that is, Qinglong, Suzaku, and three. The former owner of the three is the kite who was killed by you, and you can choose one of these rings."

Officially... are there alternate members... I caught the loophole in his words, I pondered for a while, and made a choice that he didn't expect: "I choose, empty."

"..." Payne was slightly taken aback, before replying after a while: "The owner of Kong Chen, you should know who it is." Supplementary candidates designated by the leader.Although it is not stipulated that qualified candidates must choose the vacant position, but in this way, if I want to inherit the empty position, I must wait for the former owner to die, or... defect.

"Oshemaru will not be stable for long..." With his ambition, he will not be willing to obey the rule of others.The various movements of Orochimaru over the years have clearly shown his intentions: "I don't have much confidence that I can live past the age of 15. I can accept being a member of 'Akatsuki' and carry out the assigned tasks. But after he does it, if I'm still alive... then I'll wear a full membership badge."

Joining "Xiao" now is tantamount to betraying the "promise" of Orochimaru... I don't want the two to conflict.

"...Yes." This has no actual impact on the plan. Payne just thought about it for a while, and then agreed to this small request: "In three months, there will be a gathering among the members of the organization. It is necessary to learn this technique, and I will notify you of the exact time." Instead of leaving behind the unstable bomb of Orochimaru, this one is obviously much easier to control.

The uniform and two scrolls are left behind, one is the technique of Senluo Xiangzhuan, and the other is the method of "Xiao" communicating with each other.

Payne, who was about to leave, suddenly heard a commotion not far away. While leaving with his seal, he left a last sentence: "You still have 'guests', so I won't bother you, Kong Chen."

"Cough, cough cough..." He clenched the scroll in his hand, except for the suppressed coughing sound, there was a heart-wrenching silence in the room.
