Mrs. Shimizu poured sake for us, but I was about to drink it when Lu Jiu swiftly took the glass away, "You are underage, you are not allowed to drink."

"Then if you let underage ninjas go on missions, is that considered child labor?" I rolled my eyes and stood up to grab the wine glass in his hand.

Lu Jiu raised his hand, "No."

"Don't force me to do anything to you, I'll tell you!" Relying on myself, I changed into a ferocious look, and shouted arrogantly, "If it wasn't for fear of hurting you!"

Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "You can do it if you have the ability."

"..." I was silent for a moment, "If I wasn't afraid of hurting you, I would have done it long ago!"

"Excuse me, is there any milk?" Lu Jiu ignored me and asked Taifu Shimizu.

"You are despising my dignity as a ninja." I raised my eyes.

Mrs. Shimizu covered his mouth and laughed.

With a soft "click", I looked towards the window subconsciously, and then I saw the girl named "Tou" who I met at the door before squatting lightly at the window, looking at us calmly.

"Atou, please come in." Taifu Qingshui said gently, "What did she say?"

Ah Tou lightly jumped into the room, and slightly nodded at Mrs. Shimizu, "Ayako said, please go over and talk about it in detail."

Mrs. Shimizu nodded, with a gentle and helpless expression, "I knew it would be like this. Then, I will trouble you again, Atou."

"Be polite." Ah Tou lowered his head slightly, and then turned to us, "If you are trying to harm Ayako, don't blame me for being rude."

Lu Jiu nodded slightly, "Please rest assured."

Ah Tou didn't say anything more, and waved for us to follow, using the code words that ninjas are used to.

I raised my eyebrows, Xiangtai exchanged a glance, silently followed behind Lu Jiu without making a sound.

At night, the street lights were full of feasting and feasting, full of extravagant taste, we followed Ah Tou and shuttled in the shadows of the houses, every light landing sound was covered by the talking and laughing of the men.

After crossing two streets, Atou stopped outside a magnificent residence, gestured to us, and then entered the house through the window alone.

"Ninja?" I mouthed to Lujiu, but Lujiu shook his head and mouthed back to me, "No, it's a samurai."

Under Lu Jiu's signal, the three of us canceled the transformation technique and returned to the appearance of children.

Whether it was the gag when he was with Mrs. Shimizu, or the appearance of a child now, it is nothing more than to lower the vigilance of the target person.An adult who will stop children from drinking, and three immature children, are not like bad people at all.

Ah Tou leaned out from the window, and he didn't show any surprise when he saw our change of appearance. He just gestured for us to come up.

Lu Jiu led the three of us into the room through the window, where a young woman was kneeling and sitting at the table.She was wearing white pajamas and a colorful kimono, her long black hair was loosely tied, and the ends were scattered on the ground, like a waterfall transformed from dark clouds.

What a nice view.

Hino Ayako was fidgeting the moment we came in, and a pair of graceful autumn water was fixed on Lu Jiu's body, faintly pleading.

Lu Jiu saluted slightly, and said, "May I ask if you are Quan Xiuyi's lover?"

"...Yes, yes, please ask Xiuyi-kun..." Hino Ayako straightened up slightly while supporting the table, her tone was urgent.

Lu Jiu didn't answer her, but showed her a photo, "Excuse me, is this Quan Xiuyi?"

The moment she saw the photo, Hino Ayako was taken aback, then showed disappointment, and sat back, "No, this is not Shuichi-kun."

Lu Jiu remained expressionless, and took out another photo and handed it over, "What about this one?"

Hino Ayako's eyes immediately burst into eager brilliance, "Yes, this is Shuichi-kun, may I ask him now..."

"Just to ask, when Quan Xiuyi-kun met you for the first time, what was your name?" Lu Jiu continued to ask.

"It's... Kazuya, Kawashima Kazuya." Hino Ayako hesitated for a moment, and announced the name.

Lu Jiu lowered his head slightly, "Sorry, this is our duty, we must confirm the authenticity of the information."

Ayako Hino bent her lips politely, but couldn't hide the anxiety on her expression, "It's okay, then now..."

"Of course." Lu Jiu sat upright, "If there is no accident, Mr. Xiuyi should have died in the line of duty."

Hino Ayako's expression was blank for a moment, then she lowered her head and did not speak for a while.

"I'm sorry." Lu Jiu lowered his head.

"No, I've thought about it a long time ago, but, I just can't help but fantasize about it." Hino Ayako said softly, then raised her head and slightly curled the corners of her mouth, her fair cheeks seemed to become illusory under the silver moonlight And when it became transparent, the crystal light spots passed by in an instant, as fast as an illusion.

"My condolences, ma'am." I couldn't help but say.

Hino Ayako turned her head and smiled at me with an unbelievably calm expression, "Thank you."

Then she stretched out her hand and pushed the small tray on the table towards us, "This is Xiuyi-kun's favorite straw cake, please have a taste, all ninjas."

Xiangta showed a slightly unbearable expression, "Madam..."

"Thank you for your hospitality." Lu Jiu interrupted him, bowed his head slightly to pay tribute, and then picked up one and put it in his mouth, "...It's delicious, Mr. Quan is very lucky."

Hino Ayako nodded towards us with a smile on her lips, "Please take it easy, all ninjas. I'll go get what Shuichi-kun put on me."

She got up silently, and walked to the vanity mirror in the next room, only the sound of Lu Jiu chewing straw cakes was left in the room.

After a while, Ayako Hino took a small scroll and handed it to Shikajiu, "This is what Xiuichi-kun put here for me."

Lu Jiu took it with both hands, carefully checked the sealing technique and the mark, and after confirming that it was correct, Asano Ayako nodded, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

Hino Ayako seemed to be smiling, for some reason she looked a little hazy under the shadow of the moonlight, unable to see clearly, "Tou, send me some ninja-samas."

Ah Tuo, who had been standing silently in the corner, appeared, responded lightly, gestured to us, and jumped out of the window first.

"Then we will leave, Madam, please take care." Lu Jiu said, then, he paused, and added, "In addition, Izumi Shuichi-kun left you a message through Konoha's intelligence system, the content is,' I love you'."

After Lu Jiu finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer and jumped out of the house.After a while, Hino Ayako's voice with a slight smile sounded in the room, "Really?"

I stayed at the end and glanced back at Hino Ayako, who was mostly covered in shadows, and suddenly felt that she was like an exquisite puppet with a broken thread, without a soul.

We followed Atou all the way back to Taifu Shimizu's place by hiding our figure, and made another play to get away. We were able to leave without attracting any attention.

The four of us walked to the gate of Huajie, and I felt something in my heart. I turned my head and saw Ah Tou hidden in the shadows, bowing deeply in our direction, not moving for a long time.

I suddenly felt sour on the tip of my nose, and couldn't help pulling on La Lujiu's clothes, "Let's go back and have a look? I always feel..."

Lu Jiu stretched out his hand and gently covered my eyes. In the darkness, his voice to stop me was very gentle, with a calming power, "Liuli."
