[Hokage] Flower Time

She used illusion to obtain information, and then left the enemy irresponsibly and turned away. It seemed that she didn't bother to attack those who had lost the ability to fight.The scorpion is responsible for making up the knife at the end, so as not to leak its own information.

After many times, Xie couldn't help complaining and said: "Little ghost, you'd better change your bad habit of being lazy because you were spoiled and spoiled. You always ask me to handle these troublesome things for you. You don't have the right to be a junior." conscious."

At such times, Hua Shi would simply stop, lift up his bamboo hat and throw it out.

The beautiful red-haired boy hidden deep among the puppets would appear occasionally, repairing old puppets and making new puppets, and reprimanded her contemptuously and proudly in the tone of an elder with his delicate face.Most of the time, he huddled in that human puppet named "Fei Liuhu", facing her in a ferocious form.

As time passed, Hua Shi and Xie gradually collected the information needed by the Aoi organization.Scorpion would dislike her making too much noise with the Susanoo, causing damage to the art. In return, she would simply throw Scorpion's bamboo hat into the distance.A year later, Xie added an iron hook to Fei Liuhu's tail, which can easily and quickly hook up his own bamboo hat.

A talented puppet stylist always has his own way to deal with his partner's embarrassment.

Unlike Xie, who has always maintained a youthful appearance, her body is getting taller little by little.When she left Konoha Ninja Village, she was only a 12-year-old child, and even the photos on the most wanted list of ninjas were full of youthfulness and innocence that could not be concealed.Now that many years have passed, she has gradually grown up, and the photos on the wanted list have finally changed.

She had seen that photo in someone else's hand, and she didn't know who took it secretly - she was dressed in a red cloud robe with a black background and grabbed a Konoha ninja's throat with one hand, and her side face looked very indifferent.The shooting distance was very far, and the photos were blurry, which made her feel very strange.

Is that what she looks like?

She vaguely remembered the photos she had taken a long time ago—the photos she took with her brother on her birthday, the group photos at graduation, the photos she took when she became a member of the Gorinan team, and the photos she took for the Chunin exam... ...Those photos were all framed by her and placed on the low cabinet in her home.

It looks like she really has changed a lot.

In the first year, she and Xie traveled among the five major countries to collect intelligence.

In the second year, she stayed in the vicinity of Konoha Ninja Village for a short period of time, going up the Nanhe River.

In the third year, she traveled among the small countries among the five great countries, and witnessed countless wars and deaths with her own eyes.

Perhaps because of the scorpion, Uchiha Madara rarely shows up in front of her.Most of the time, he would ask Bai Jue to bring his own messages—they were all innocuous words.

He asked her if she regretted it, if she was shaken in her heart.

She never gave Uchiha Madara an answer.

In winter, Bai Jue brought her a freesia.Because of the different climate, the iris plant was not the purple she was familiar with, but a light and tender light yellow.She pressed the flower to the root of a big tree with a small stone, and never came back to take a look.

In spring, Bai Jue brought her a little dinosaur that no one accepted as a birthday present, and she discarded the unwelcome green puppet on the grass somewhere, facing the lonely wind and rain alone.Later, Bai Jue brought her a bouquet of flowers.

The flowers that belong to the spring day also carry the green breath on the branches.She clenched the fragile flower with her fingers and leaned against the gray stone wall.The impatient scorpion who had been waiting for a long time came over from the side. He saw the flowers in her hand and said, "You look very leisurely."

"Really?" She replied lightly, throwing the flowers in her hand on the ground casually.

"Even green plants are hard to survive here." Surrounded by a stretch of yellow sand, Xie said, "It's really not easy to find such a flower. Where did you get it?"

"..." She couldn't answer, so she said, "Let's go quickly, the leader is still waiting for us to complete the task."

"It was you who stopped suddenly." Xie said to her, "Your thoughts are really hard to guess."

The two continued to walk forward, their footsteps stepped on the land of the Kingdom of Wind, leaving shallow footprints on the endless sand.The ubiquitous wind quickly raised new floating sand, covering all their footprints.The yellow sand rising from the sky seems to have covered the field of vision with a layer of yellow mist, which made them unable to see clearly in the distance.

The ubiquitous sand seemed to be drilling into her collar, and while fastening her collar, she said in a low voice, "It looks like a sandstorm is about to break out."

"That can only stay here for a while." Xie turned around and walked towards a cave in the distance.The two entered the cave one after another, and stood in the narrow cave to avoid the sand and dust that could come at any time.

She shook her cuffs, trying to clean off the dust.Seeing her small movements, Xie habitually made his own contemptuous and mocking voice: "It's been so long, you're still the same."

"..." She frowned slightly, not wanting to pay attention to Xie's lecture.

"Let me capture Izuo Jinchuriki." She changed the subject, and said, "That guy is Kazekage, and his strength is quite powerful. Mr. Scorpion's puppet is probably against the guard who is known as the 'strongest defense'." The Crane Shield has no effect."

"Hey! Brat!" Scorpion was dissatisfied with her words, and said, "Your attack method is too unsuitable for this mission. Susano will almost attract all the ninjas in the Ninja Village."

"Mr. Scorpion's offensive method will also attract the ninjas in the entire Ninja Village." She said slowly: "If they see the puppet of the third Kazekage suddenly appear in the village, the whole country will be boiling."

During the conversation between the two, the sand and dust outside the cave subsided unknowingly.The wind seems to be weaker, and the yellow sand in the field of vision has also become less.The undulating sand dunes have been changed by the wind, and the footsteps that came before have long since disappeared.

"Let's go." Scorpion didn't argue with her about whose attack method was more terrifying, and moved towards the outside of the cave.

The two walked forward in the desert, passing through countless yellow sand blown by the wind, and the outer wall of Sand Ninja Village gradually emerged in front of their eyes.It was an extremely solid circular stone wall, and there was only a narrow passage in the center for people to enter and exit.There were a few black figures standing near the circular wall, their clothes couldn't be seen clearly because of the distance.

As the distance shortened, their images in Hua Shi's eyes became clearer.It was a small group of sand ninjas wearing forehead protection, responsible for patrolling and standing guard.At this moment, separated by the wind and sand all over the sky, they were looking at the two people who suddenly appeared vigilantly.

Perhaps the Akatsuki organization, which has been moving around in the past two years, has taken too much action. This red cloud robe with a black background has become their symbol. The ninjas of Sand Ninja recognized this iconic robe and became vigilant.

"I've been recognized." She walked forward against the dry wind, without stopping.As she walked, she activated her pupil power, gradually making the three-goed jade in her eyes gradually emerge.

"Just pass through." Xie was confident about this level, and didn't care about the small group of vigilant ninjas at the door.

A gust of wind laced with yellow sand suddenly blew past, blowing the white cloth that Scorpion used to cover his face and the strips of cloth hanging from the bamboo hat.The bell under the bamboo hat kept making crisp and loose sounds, and the red cloud's robe with a black background was blown up by the wind.Hua Shi casually smoothed the flurry of black hair behind her ears, and this action revealed the blue ring on her right index finger.

The footsteps of the two were getting closer, and the group of ninjas became more and more vigilant.Just when they were nervous, something happened suddenly.

One of the ninjas suddenly drew his sword at his partner, and was caught off guard, and all the members of the team were stabbed to the ground by him.In a blink of an eye, only the ninja with a knife was left in the narrow passage at the entrance of Sand Ninja Village. His clothes were splashed with the blood of his companions, but he didn't notice it at all.

This change caused Huashi to lose the scarlet color in her eyes, and walked straight towards the gate of Sand Ninja Village without stopping, until the two of them came to the only living Sand Ninja ninja.

Scorpion hunched his body and said slowly: "Thanks for your hard work, Yura...do you remember who I am?"

At first, the sand ninja stood in front of them blankly, with a blank face.Hearing these words, he immediately came back to his senses, disregarding the bloodstains all over his body, knelt down to salute, and said, "Yes, Mr. Xie."

In the narrow corridor behind him, there were other people's corpses lying in disorder.Dark blood splattered on the earth-colored walls, and there was a bloody smell in the air.

Yura turned her body sideways, allowing the two to pass through without hindrance.They walked around the silent bodies and headed towards Sand Ninja Village.Huashi glanced at Yu Liang, who had an extremely respectful expression, from the corner of his eye, and said, "It's really a handy technique. Originally, I thought that I had to do it."

"Three years is enough to make these preparations." Scorpion moved forward and passed the entire passage.When I stepped into Sand Ninja Village, I happened to see the last sunset hanging in the sky.The dark golden setting sun merged with the golden sand dunes not far away, and the gradually darkening sky enveloped the entire Sand Ninja Village.

There is no green at all, just a khaki.Those undulating circular buildings lined up nakedly, caught the eyes of the two.

"Okay, now it's time to find Yiwei." She took off her bamboo hat, turned her gaze to the tall building with the sign of "Feng" not far away, and said, "Just go to see him directly, please forgive me Forgot to bring a greeting gift."
