[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

"You said you were going to move out?!"

Yuki, who was resting on the way to work, and Sakura, who had finished her training, made an appointment to have lunch at a corner of the terrace of the Hokage Building.After reporting the recent developments with my friends, I was scolded and covered my face as expected.

"Staying in the teacher's dormitory is too troublesome for the teacher." The girl carefully explained while eating the love bento sponsored by Sakura.

"Aren't you stupid! Are you stupid!" The girl with short pink hair hurriedly pulled Xue's cheeks to both sides, "Even gods can't save you, you pig-headed!"

"But... I heard the teacher and Genma-senpai said that they want me to move out..." The captain of the dark part struggled to escape Sakura's poisonous hands.

"Sensei Kakashi said?" Sakura, who was so surprised that she forgot to retract her hand, asked maintaining her posture, "He really said it? It's unbelievable. I thought he didn't care about anything like that."

"Maybe the teacher is embarrassed to tell me about this in person. Applying for a dormitory first will save the teacher some trouble." Clutching her reddened cheeks, Xue still couldn't hide her disappointment when she said this. , "Also, it's good to take this opportunity to see the outside world."

Covering her forehead and sighing, Sakura said helplessly, "Oh, that's not what I meant... Forget it, since you've made up your mind, I can only support you."

Swallowing all the rice balls, Xue put on the mask again and stood up: "However, there is no vacant dormitory yet, and we have to wait for a while. Fortunately, there are more tasks recently, and I will basically not go back."

"It's about to go on a mission again? Why didn't you stop?" Sakura complained as she packed up the lunch box.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, can you ask for a leave of absence for tonight's consultation with Senior Shizune?" Xue asked with clasped hands.

"Understood! This way the recuperation progress will never progress, you just drown in the task." Sakura said angrily.

Knowing that Sakura was worried about herself, Xue could only apologize repeatedly, and then ran towards the office.

The time is a little tight, and the teacher is also on a mission, but it shouldn't matter if I have left a note.Taking the task book from Tsunade, the girl walked towards the meeting room without stopping.

Although thinking about launching an offensive against Kakashi, Xue couldn't think of any reliable method for a while, so she could only continue to live step by step.And thinking about the reason why Kakashi wanted to move out of the dormitory by herself made the girl unable to face him well. Although she looked the same as before, there was always a thorn in her heart.

There are no windows in the corridor leading to the meeting room, only the faint lights reflect the direction of progress. Although you walk lightly, the small voice is still bounced and amplified by the narrow wall, covering your ears like a lullaby.

"Ren."

A long time unheard call came from the unmanned passage. Although it was already unfamiliar, the girl's consciousness still rooted deep in her brain made her answer instantly.

After answering, Xue reacted and turned around to look. The man in black robe was standing in the shadow of the corridor with a mask in his hand, unable to see his appearance and expression.However, the girl is very familiar with this image, it is the person who grew up with her.

"E..." Although it was a reunion scene after a long absence, the girl did not show any emotion, but immediately stood up straight and unconsciously entered the battle state.

"Long time no see, Ren, your vigilance has weakened, and you didn't even notice my existence." The black-robed man named Wu leaned against the wall, not caring about Xue's attitude, "Master Danzo actually took advantage of me outside Handed over my lovely junior during a long-term mission. Looks like you're having a good time now?"

"...My name is Huoyue now."

"It's all the same, the name is just a code name." The man shrugged, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just returning to Konoha to report something on the way to the mission, and I'll come and see you."

"...They said you were dead." Xue lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the man's eyes. Those were a pair of sharp sword-like eyes showing murderous intent.

"Are you looking forward to my death? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my life is pretty tough."

Slowly pacing out of the shadows, the man's black short hair and black robe are bottomless, as if absorbing the light, "I heard someone say...you were taught a lesson by the 'Xiao' people? It seems I've become slack outside, and I've become weaker. Is that the copy ninja Kakashi? It seems that you are under his name now, really, what kind of useless have you taught my precious juniors."

"...The teacher taught me a lot, and I worked hard to become stronger." While speaking, Xue unconsciously touched the animal tooth on her chest, the pendant that never left her body.

"Really? Be sure to let me see it next time." Looking at the wolf fang in Xue's hand, the man's tone seemed cheerful, "It seems that I haven't completely discarded my teachings, and I still have this wolf fang. I really miss it." The scene of throwing you into the wolf's den, the blood-stained appearance is really beautiful."

As the man spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress Shangxue's head, but the girl dodged away abruptly.

Wu's hand was hanging in mid-air, but he didn't see any embarrassment, but smiled more and more: "Oh, this is like the little beast I taught, full of aggressiveness, and always on guard against danger. If you don't do this, you can't live in this world. Especially a 'failure' like you."

"..." Xue didn't reply, but maintained a guarded posture, and could even feel cold sweat seeping out from under the mask.

As if he had teased the girl enough, the man straightened his black robe and put on a big hood, and buried himself in the darkness again: "I feel better after returning to my hometown after a long time, so I won't tease you." Wow, Danzo-sama really values ​​you very much, I hope you are still alive when we meet next time."

After speaking, the man disappeared, leaving only Xue standing there holding the task book in his hand, the cold sweat on his face sliding down his neck without knowing it.

That person is still alive.

The girl stared at the floor with her eyes wide open in vain: the person who thought she died three years ago was still alive.

She couldn't tell whether it was joy, surprise or fear in her heart, and the complex emotions were intertwined together to form a dyeing vat of mixed colors. Xue only felt that her mind was so chaotic that it was difficult to control herself, so that she didn't even think about Wu's words carefully.

The reappearance of this man who is also a father and a teacher completely broke Xue's reconstructed thinking.Fragments of childhood memories kept crawling out from the bottom, and the old scene flashed in my mind.

"senior?"

A soft cry interrupted Xue's recollection, and when she looked up, it was Kanna who had found her.

"Senior, why are you here? It's time to assemble."

"Some things are delayed, I'm sorry, let's go there quickly." Holding the lynx mask on her face, Xue comforted herself that the man just came back to take a look, not to mention that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.Now it's different from the past, it's really useless to be surprised.

Even with such enlightenment, the restlessness in the girl's heart is still hard to suppress. The poisonous snake buried in the bottom of her heart climbed and slid up her chest, struggling to see the light of day again.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hey, something is wrong with the team leader these days." Hosokawa, who threw the identified corpse on the ground and cleaned up the mess, said quietly to his companions.

"Do you think so too?" Eguchi responded to Hosokawa seriously, and secretly looked at Yuki who was not far away to see if all the enemies had been dealt with. It's colder than usual and frightening to be honest."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Kanna looked at the girl worriedly.Standing in the ruins of the ninjutsu duel in the night under the snow, holding the ninjutsu that was still stained with blood and poking away the corpses on the ground, the scene inexplicably reminded Kanna of the rumors he heard when he first entered Anbu——Bloodthirsty Fire Moon is Wu Bloodless monster.

"Two are missing, Eguchi, use your white eyes to look around." The girl's cold voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, and Eguchi hurriedly silenced and followed orders to use his eyes to look around.

"Squad leader, about 200 meters to the northwest, was injured, probably escaped with earthen escape."

"I'll go, you guys clean up here." Before anyone else answered, the girl put away the ninja knife and disappeared into the night.

Running alone, moving in the direction of the target without stopping, the surroundings are so quiet that only the sound of his own breathing and the sound of the wind are heard.

It seems that only fighting can relieve this restless emotion, and only the sound of the knife tip penetrating the human body can soothe the noise in the head.

Holding her breath, Xue's eyes were only on the target in front of her, because the opponent was injured and her speed was not fast, and when she sensed that there were pursuers behind, she quickened her pace.The shuriken was thrown out tentatively, but it was dodged by two rebels, who lurked in the bushes on the left and right, but fell into the girl's arms.

The night is the best camouflage. When one of the rebels was still watching the traces of the pursuers, the thin figure was already close behind him. Qianben on the ground immediately seized the freedom of his legs, and his shrill shouts resounded in the jungle.

When another rebel arrived, the moonlight was leaking some white from the clouds, hitting the girl like a mime scene.The thin Anbu held Rebel Nin who couldn't stand upright due to his restricted limbs with one hand, and held Kunai across the opponent's neck with the other, hiding his body behind, only showing his expressionless mask.

"Throw away the weapon." Only the girl's voice without emotion echoed in the forest.

"Kill...kill..." Because of the blood loss from the severed arm, the man who was held up could hardly stand upright, and couldn't even speak.

Tighten the kunai a little, and feel the coldness of the blade through the arteries of the skin. This is the silent warning of the Anbe girl, and it seems to have worked. The hostage clenched his lower lip and did not dare to utter a sound.On the other hand, the other rebel with a ninja knife on guard was hesitating whether to attack, or to leave his companion and drag his injured body to try an unlikely escape.

Xue understood that Renren's next choice was like a wild beast when hunting, leaving only a narrow exit for the prey to play with in the applause.A pair of cat eyes stared at him intently, waiting for the opponent's dying struggle.

When the traitor pierced the hostage's heart with the ninja knife, Yuki, who had been prepared for a long time, lowered his body to avoid the piercing blade, and under the cover of the falling hostage, the long ninja knife pierced through from bottom to top in one breath Two rebellious bodies.Blood dripped down on his face like rain, and the smell of iron washed his whole body, making him feel nostalgic.

That's right, this is the ninja action mode I learned since I was a child.

Pushing away the two immobile corpses on her body, the girl gave up the ninja sword that could not be pulled out, took off the mask that was dyed red on her face, leaned against the tree trunk and stared in a daze.

Compared with the choice of rebellion just now, maybe when Sakura was taken hostage in Nami Country, he didn't behave like a ninja.

It's just that I was shaken to this point after meeting that person. The changes in the past two years are just appearances, just hiding my true self in darkness.What is right and what is wrong, the two diametrically opposed selves are constantly fighting, and it is still impossible to tell the winner.

The girl squatted down slowly with her back against the tree trunk, defenseless, like a lost beast cub.

"I really want to see you... Teacher."

The author has something to say:

is the culprit, hit him! ! 【XXX】

Gradually, I began to recover the foreshadowing laid in the early stage (′▽`〃) and reflected that I had stretched the front of this volume too long... So the content of this volume is estimated to be finished in two days, and I want to write Inaba as Fanwai, maybe the day can last until the end of this month, and then it’s the stage of hoarding manuscripts again~
