Remnant bones

Chapter 89: The invitation of the third generation, the first trial of the old fox...

——Hokage Office——

"Hmm... let me see the fill-in-the-blank items on the list..." Behind the large desk filled with various scrolls and documents, the white-haired and kind old man tried his best to poke his head out of the mountain of documents.With his favorite pipe in his mouth, a blank file in one hand, and a pen in the other, he asked the white-haired boy in front of him, "Name?"

"Kaguya-kun Mai." The indifferent voice sounded coldly without the slightest hesitation.

"...Gender?" Swiping down a few notes to write down the name, Sandai Hokage hesitated for the next option, which is dispensable to most people, but still did not fill it in according to his own impression without authorization, and asked cautiously.Just looking at the appearance... Ahem, it's really difficult!

"Male." He narrowed his eyes and sneered from the bottom of his heart.What does the shock on the other side's face mean?

"Age?" He closed his eyes that were almost out of the frame, and coughed twice in a concealed manner. The third generation embarrassedly avoided the gaze of the person concerned, and went directly to the next question.This appearance is really more beautiful than Tsunade's girl back then... Fortunately, I didn't call out.

"Fifteen." Immortal... What's with the "regret" in your eyes?

"Nationality?" He's only fifteen... His strength is not much higher than that kid Itachi's.The third generation recorded the information without changing their expressions, but it was hard to hide a trace of surprise and emotion in their hearts.It's just that the ninja world doesn't seem to have heard of any country that has such a genius ninja with white hair... and there is no sign of a ninja village on the opponent's body.Therefore, he couldn't help but worry about this question.

Regardless of whether the other party's answer is true or false, the answer is a clue that is very likely to reveal part of the secret.

"The country of water, and..." Even if I'm not as old as this old man, I can still be considered an old man!What is he looking for that I won't notice?What's more, no matter how well he concealed it, it is not impossible for someone who has been involved in actual combat and killing all year round to detect that moment of vigilance with the sensitive nerves forced by the environment.

Moreover, there is no need for me to hide my origin to arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the other party.

So, I "confessed" very simply: "I'm not a ninja, so I don't have a ninja record, and you can't find it." So, save your energy!

"...Not a ninja?" It was too late to feel embarrassed that his intentions were exposed. Regarding my answer, Sandai couldn't hide his surprise and doubts: "Excuse me for asking, Mr. Kaguya, are you..."

"As you expected." I don't believe that, as Hokage of the Land of Fire, the head of the Five Great Nations, the other party would not be clear about the meaning of the surname "Kaguya".

"The Kaguya clan of the 'Bone Vein'..." Although they were born in the land of water, the Kaguya clan was wiped out by the fog five years ago... So, it is understandable that they did not join any ninja village.

Unable to find loopholes in the other party's words, the third generation also discovered that the tricks used to disguise in the past are not very effective for the young man in front of him, what's more... Judging from his experience and feelings, it is not so much in the Conversing with a junior, what he is facing is more like a peer whose mind and city are no less than his own—at least, the spiritual age does not seem to be too different.

Another "monster" born with the darkness under the baptism of blood and killing.

The usual kind smile on his face gradually faded away.Wisps of light gradually emerged from the cloudy eyes.The old face was tense, and the serious expression was accompanied by the unique coercion of the superior, spreading in the isolated room... There is no coldness or sharpness, but a thick and long-lasting aura, which is accumulated over the years Majesty and the unique temperament of a broad-minded bearer.

Slowly narrowing my eyes, I couldn't help but look squarely at the half-hundred old man in front of me.

Orochimaru's teacher... It really can't be just a bad old man who laughs and laughs all day long!Moreover, does he mean that he has given up pretending to be stupid, and intends to put aside the disguise and get straight to the point?

Sure enough, putting the folder in his hand aside casually, Sandai straightened up, looked straight at me with a rare serious expression, and asked more bluntly than expected: "In that case, I don't intend to use any bureaucratic accent, so I'm being rude." Let me ask you... why did you come to Konoha?"

Instead of going around in circles without the slightest practical meaning, sometimes, this kind of unskilled inquiry makes it easier to get the "truth" hidden in a few words.

I couldn't help being slightly taken aback, although I expected that the other party was not a person who likes to go around, but this is really... Inexplicably, a trace of uncontrollable smile rose from the bottom of my heart. Originally out of instinctive vigilance and hostility, ignoring the tense atmosphere at the moment, instead More relaxed than before.

This old man seems to be more "interesting" than imagined...

"Herbs, I'm here for the velvet grass unique to Konoha." On the surface, this is indeed part of my "purpose"... Without the slightest hesitation, I simply returned: "The reason why I met two people from Guicun The name Anbu is purely accidental. I just 'take people's money and help people eliminate disasters'."

For me, this is not a "lie", it can only be said that I did not tell the whole story.And as long as you don't think it's a deception in your heart, even if you look directly at the other person, it's not as easy as you think to judge whether it's true or false based on your subconscious reaction—in my previous life, my psychology passed it with full marks.

Unlike my original world, most subjects have a scientific and step-by-step education system.In terms of the ability of "seeing people", the people here rely more on the experience accumulated over the years.Especially the older ones who trust their experience more than what they learn on paper.

The three generations in their 50s are not young people anymore... Naturally, although there is always some unspeakable anxiety in his heart, he still chooses to temporarily believe in the "truth" he sees with his eyes.But for intuition, this kind of sixth sense cultivated in the battlefield and killing, this mature and good fox did not choose to completely ignore it.

At least, the temptation cannot stop there.

"That's it...Mr. Kaguya is a rare 'enthusiast'!" Even a wandering doctor who can be hired with money, or a bounty hunter, for a mission ninja who obviously has a unique mark of a certain ninja village, it is absolutely impossible. Most of them will choose to ignore it... Even if the reward is attractive, you have to live to spend it!

For those traitors and wavers, this is undoubtedly asking for their own death.

The third generation would not really think that a "simple" drop-in can explain all of this.

"Because, it can be regarded as 'acquaintance'." If it is so easy to dismiss, his decades of Hokage can be regarded as useless.I don't think such an excuse full of loopholes can easily convince the other party, but there are always reasons: "Three years ago, we had an 'unforgettable' encounter in a village on the border of Fengyin . " That green frog... is really "unforgettable".

However, if I tell him that I "followed" Itachi...wouldn't things be more interesting?

Although this idea is very good, it is obviously out of date now.And the third generation, who didn't realize it, also relaxed their guard a little bit after receiving my supplement.Although the "Unforgettable" always makes people feel a little ambiguous, at least it is certain that there are traces to check: "Then, can I trouble you to briefly state the people who were present at that time?"

"Itachi, the silver-haired sullen man, and..." Recalling that period of memories that couldn't be called "beautiful", I didn't hide the disgust in my eyes at all, and frowned coldly: "A blind green-skinned man Kappa."

"..." This is really a distinctive "comprehensive explanation"!Three generations of black lines, it can be said that it is a conditioned reflex to outline the figure of Kai's giant frog in his mind.No wonder it is said to be "unforgettable"...

"Thank you very much for your cooperation. I'm sorry to disturb you a lot of time." After getting what he wanted, the third generation restored the image of the kind old man at the beginning, put down the form in his hand with a smile, picked up the pipe I said: "If you don't mind, it's already noon anyway, how about a treat?"

It's not that I don't want to see what the old fox has planned, but now is not the time to play "guess, guess, guess" with him.I could only shake my head regretfully, and refused without the slightest apology: "Next time, I still have a 'job'... Speaking of which, there is something I hope you can help, Mr. Third."

"Huh? Willing to help~" I didn't feel that the other party was being rude. The three generations of good old people agreed with a smile on their faces: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Can you tell me where the silver-haired sullen man lives?" The silver-white eyes narrowed slightly, it's time to "collect debts"...

He had no idea how much trouble his so-called "help" would bring to his excellent subordinate.The third generation was very enthusiastic, so they sold Kakashi's details!What's more, even his current basic movements are clearly informed, saving me the trouble of making a trip in vain.

After a polite thank you, I turned around and left the office without any intention of staying any longer.

Standing by the window, looking at the white figure gradually disappearing into the crowd downstairs, San Dai suppressed the smile on his face and called out in a low voice: "'Grizzly'."

"The subordinate is here." A familiar figure silently appeared in front of Hokage's desk full of various materials.

"Use the minimum distance to observe the opponent's movements from a distance, and don't let him notice." In terms of strength, even Itachi may not be able to hide from the opponent's eyes.Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to have any malice towards Konoha... Sandai thought for a while, and then added: "Let Kakashi pay more attention, although he won't be able to move in a short time, but that child should Go back and find him."

"Subordinates understand." After receiving the order, Eagle immediately acted and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The "guest" visiting at such a sensitive time...hopefully, is really a coincidence.Feeling a little tired, he lowered his eyes, and the third generation, who was no longer young, took a deep breath.

Konoha, the sky is about to change...



Strolling on the clean and tidy streets of Muye Village, the warm breeze blows and the comfortable environment makes people squint their eyes comfortably, enjoying a rare trace of peace.

Really, what about a "peaceful" village... Looking at the villagers coming and going on the street, smiling and greeting each other from time to time, an undetectable sarcasm flashed in their white eyes.

Everyone takes this ordinary and peaceful life as a matter of course. However, people who have long since lost their sense of crisis by such tranquility have never thought about the high price paid by those ninjas who died in the line of duty... blood , Pain, tears, mental torture and exhaustion.

All they can see is the hypocritical "fiber optic appearance" that is added to the surface!

Ignorance, sometimes equated with stupidity, is an unforgivable "sin"... However, "peace" does not stay in one place forever.

Time is running out... Konoha, and even the whole world, do not know how many people can survive the upcoming "bloody storm" in the future.

But at least until then, it's a good temporary place to stay.I casually brushed aside the bangs that slid down from my forehead, looked at the road signs, and walked towards the address I told you three generations ago.I don't know if the remuneration this time is enough for me to buy a place to rest here... But it will be a "special seat" for watching theaters in the future!
