Remnant bones

"...Me?" In a haze, he seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.In the sky-like azure eyes, there is full of confusion... and a faint trace of awakening.

"Idiot!" Sasuke on the side couldn't help it anymore, he rushed forward, and a hand knife hit his head, leaving a clearly visible red mark on his forehead.

"What are you doing!?" Naruto covered his forehead and stared back angrily.

"I really can't stand it anymore!" Sasuke said impatiently, "You don't understand such a simple word! To put it bluntly, don't just let you be yourself, don't just let yourself be yourself." Deliberately change yourself because of the environment!" That's what it is...it should be.

Ahem, in fact, he also half-understands the previous paragraph.

"That's almost what it means, and the rest, you will gradually understand in the future." I patted the little black cat's head appreciatively, and I continued: "I'm not from Konoha, and I won't stay here forever. Wait until the time When you arrive, you will find a teacher who suits you.”

Just that person, never me.

"Are you leaving?" Naruto was so sensitively aware of the hidden meaning, he forgot the dispute with the "enemy" and asked with a trace of reluctance: "Will you come again in the future?" Even if it is not a person from the village However, the other party was one of the few people who treated him well except Mr. Iruka and the third-generation grandfather... It even made him feel that Sasuke was not as annoying as he imagined.

If the other party leaves, then I am the only one left...

"If there is 'time', I will." As long as I am still alive... Under the bangs, the originally bright white eyes are shrouded in a layer of depressing dead gray.

Sorry, I never make uncertain guarantees, so I can only answer you in such an ambiguous manner.

But... Looking at the two little guys who suddenly fell silent, I whispered: "If nothing happens, my younger brother should come to settle here. He looks very similar to me... If I see him in the village If he dies, I will trouble you to 'take care' of him for me."

"Well... I will." Naruto forced a smile and agreed.

Sasuke bowed his head in silence, not answering.Such a tone will always remind him of some bad things... It's not like saying goodbye, but more like...

"Okay, we're going back." Without noticing the "truth" that he vaguely sensed deep in his heart, I rubbed the little fox's furry golden head, patted Sasuke's shoulder, and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Naruto."

"Goodbye, Big Brother Kaguya... By the way, this is for you!" Hastily putting down the big bag in his hand, Naruto dug out an object no bigger than a baby's fist, and threw it to me from a distance: "Although it was only by accident I found something in an old house, but it is my 'treasure', I gave it to you! Also, thank you~"

Thank you... the happiest day he's ever had.

I took it, and didn't have time to take a closer look. I just waved my hand without looking back, until the immature call got farther and farther away from us.

Playing with the oblate hard object in his hand—it was a round plate made of black metal, without any embellishment of gemstones and jade, and a delicate and lifelike hollow flower cluster was carved in the middle, which was enchanting, but full of rare A touch of royal air, pure black manjusawa.

From the shape alone, if my judgment is correct, it is definitely made by a famous artist, similar to a pendant such as a family keepsake.The smooth and smooth perfect pattern on it is not so much a pure decoration, but more like a family crest like the Uchiha family fan.

Although the official history of Konoha has not been written, judging from the unofficial historical records obtained by Orochimaru, during the Second Ninja War, many small families here were destroyed in the ruthless war.However, more of it was due to being squeezed out by the Konoha Presbyterian Church at the beginning of its construction, and being strangled in an invisible dark corner intentionally or unintentionally.

I'm afraid it's something left over from a declining family... I just don't know if I remembered it wrong, but I always feel like I've seen this pattern somewhere before.

I tried my best to recall the flashing thoughts, but I couldn't remember them, and at this moment, the crisp ringtone suddenly sounded in my ears, which made me slightly stunned.stop water?

With the deterioration of Xueji's boundary, as the main body, the connection between me and other bones is getting stronger and stronger.I have never been able to control the movements of other bone bell owners within a radius of one mile without deliberately sensing. Now, I can even use it as a medium to feel the specific CKL state of the other party within a certain range.

Since I am temporarily staying at Uchiha's house, regarding the Shisui possessed by the "Zhu" ring, I will basically consciously and directly block the information that is not consciously fed back when it is not necessary.This time, however, something seemed wrong.

Zhishui's CKL, this is the first time in these few weeks that it has been so chaotic... It's not because of the weakness after the injury, but because of the riots caused by the huge emotional fluctuations.

What's the matter?Eyebrows slightly raised, I stopped.During this sensitive period, I have already discovered that the task assigned by Anbu to Itachi seems to be related to Shisui.This makes me have to care about what happened... What's more, he is also my mission target.

It seems that it is necessary to make a trip.To Sasuke who looked over with a puzzled face, I whispered: "Sasuke, you go back first, I have something I forgot to deal with." After that, I put away the pendant in my hand, and followed the gradually moving to the northwest. CKL, chased them out.

"Ah! Brother Jun Mai... Brother..." He stretched out his hand suddenly, but failed to catch the strand of white silk that was slipping from his palm.An inexplicable uneasiness flooded into my heart.

The plain figure that kept going away seemed to overlap with his brother's straight back in a daze. It seemed so far away and unreachable... A corner of my heart seemed to be missing at that moment, empty.Through the cool wind, rushing into it from there, it can no longer stop the passing of warmth.

"What the hell is going on..." Why does it seem that everything can never go back to the past, and can only be gradually swallowed by the darkness step by step.

Hiding his breath, he quietly followed behind.

Seeing the black figure heading towards the outside of the village, I was planning to speed up, but accidentally ran into a familiar "commercial" on the road.

"Dou?" I frowned as I jumped off the treetops and stood firm on a corner of the roof.Why is he here?

"Yo! Kaguya-kun~'what a coincidence'!" The gray fur fox pushed his glasses, and greeted with a half-smile: "How are you doing recently?"

"What's the matter?" I asked coldly, ignoring his nonsensical polite words.Although there is no one around here, the smiling fox, who has always been cautious, would blatantly reveal that he knew me, a sensitive "outsider from the village".

"Oh~ don't be so indifferent! It's rare for me to remind you with such kindness." Although he was smiling on the surface, in Dou's eyes, there was no trace of a smile: "Kaguya-kun, if you don't want to be involved In big trouble, I advise you, it is best to leave Konoha as soon as possible."

"Big trouble?" He, who always likes to make trouble, can call it "big trouble"... Then this trouble seems to have a serious background.

"Yes, big trouble... But, it has nothing to do with us." That is the matter of Konoha's senior management.Even, Dou has no doubts, Orochimaru is more than happy to see such troubles come a few more times.Just being dragged into the water for no reason is not something that makes people happy.

He only likes watching plays, and has no interest in acting for others.

Curiosity, obviously, also depends on the object.

Some people, even he who is used to pretending to be "weak", can't afford to offend... With his back on his back, Dou's right hand trembled uncontrollably, exuding a faint unpleasant smell of burnt flesh. A blur.This is because his reaction is fast enough, or his escape ability is excellent, as long as he is a little slower... Then, it is not just a hand.

However, for some unknown reason, after being injured, he planned to leave the scene before no one noticed, but when he found that familiar figure chasing his previous target, he couldn't help showing his body , sound a reminder.This is not in line with his usual style... It can only be said that it is due to being squeezed by Orochimaru as a "colleague" for many years.

Surgery, as my specialty and main attack, is not difficult at all to discover the hidden injuries.It seems that he suffered a loss because of tracking Zhishui... It can deflate the pockets in the base who are known for their cunning and slipperiness.Shisui is worthy of the name of "genius" on the same level as Itachi - "snapshot" Shisui, presumably known for his speed, this happens to be the Achilles heel of Smiling Fox.

However, it is obviously more than this that can make Dou retreat.

For example: Zhishui went there in such a hurry, the person he wanted to meet... What did he find?

If possible, it would be great to get detailed information from a professional intelligence dealer.But with his current tone, it is obvious that he intends to stop here, and he has no intention of revealing it.

And some things are only worth seeing if you see them with your own eyes.

"I see." Having said that, I didn't intend to give up the pursuit, but just responded politely, and wanted to keep up with it.

Compared with Dou who is not good at fighting in front of the stage, even if my situation is not good now, it is not so easy, because the opponent can get rid of it.

"Speaking of which, I'm going back." Knowing that the other party would not go back obediently, Dou couldn't help feeling disappointed.However, with the opponent's strength comparable to that of Orochimaru, he will never be as helpless as himself when facing that difficult guy.

Glancing at me for the last time, the gray-haired figure staggered down the eaves and disappeared into the shadow of the corner.In the blink of an eye, even the last breath disappeared.

As expected of the most professional spy... I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I brushed away the messy hair in front of my forehead, and quickly caught up, trying my best to shorten the distance opened by the pause.

In fact, my movements were still slow after all.

When I arrived at the forest where the other party stayed, Zhishui happened to leave there with a pale face.Hidden on the top of a tall tree, I leaned over and looked down, watching him return to the village with light feet and heavy feet. I couldn't help feeling a little regretful that I didn't hear anything important.

But at this moment, an unexpected discovery made my eyes widen involuntarily.

It is not unreasonable that Itachi will appear here, in fact, it seems to me to be a matter of course.What really surprised me was another sound coming from that ear—another bone bell that was equally clear but slightly different in tone.

The source of the sound is behind Itachi, deep in the forest... But, apart from the sound, I didn't feel the wonderful connection that should have been there.

Who is that person in "Xiao"?
