[Hokage] Flower Time

At the end of the town, pedestrians gradually thinned out.The two of them walked out of the town towards a path leading to a forest.An ankle-length grass tip passed under the hem of the dress, she held the bamboo hat with her right hand, her white knuckles passed over the black hem of the dress, and the finger with the green letter ring rested on the brim of the hat.

Her partner followed behind him, humming a tune of unknown meaning while turning his head to look around at the surrounding scenery.

Not long after he walked out of the town, he began to gesture with his hands enthusiastically.Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the shape that Ah Fei repeatedly traced with her hands, so she raised her eyebrows and stopped.

"Huh? What are you doing?" She turned her head sideways, staring at his black gloved hand gesticulating in mid-air, and said, "Are you performing performance art again?"

"That! That!" Ah Fei gestured his hands straight up and down again, and explained a little shyly: "Senior Huashi's figure looks like this!"

As if he was afraid that she would not understand, he again and again drew two straight lines with his palm in mid-air, emphasizing her figure.

Flower time: ...

"You..." Her face darkened, she glared at Ah Fei, and said, "Your eyesight is too poor."

"But, but..." Ah Fei touched his head in confusion, and said, "I've seen it, I've touched it, it's indeed..."

"Huh?" She was taken aback for a moment, then strode up to him and asked aggressively, "Say it again?"

"Senior Huashi's figure is indeed in this shape..."

"No!" She denied, saying, "It's the previous sentence!"

"The previous sentence? Oh..." Ah Fei continued to touch the back of his head, he smiled dryly for a while, and said, "Sorry, I forgot."

Just when she almost sprayed a huge fireball at her partner's face again, she suddenly sensed something and raised her head towards the sky.White stratus clouds piled up in the blue sky, and a few birds flew low across the sky.

"The leader is looking for us," she said.

"Senior Huashi, have we been found out for being lazy?" Ah Fei asked cautiously, pointing his fingers.

Hua Shi didn't even bother to stare at him, so he replied perfunctorily: "Ah, the leader should have discovered that you were lazily performing performance art here. Maybe Payne thinks that your behavior has damaged the reputation of our organization. Although 'Xiao' doesn't have much reputation either."

Disturbed by Payne's contact call, she was not interested in chasing her partner's fireball.The two cast a barrier in the depths of the forest and sat down cross-legged.

This time, the place where the party was organized was in an unknown stone chamber.A weak candle was burning inside the stone lamp, and several people appeared one after another beside the stone lamp. Seeing that Jue, A Fei, Payne and others had all arrived, itachi and his partner Kisame were alone.

Thinking of Hidan and Kakuzu who didn't show up last time, Huashi couldn't help but secretly frowned.Just when the subtle uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, the two who were late finally appeared beside the stone lamp.

"Too slow," Payne said.

"We just caught Four-Tailed Jinchuriki, and it took a little effort to tie him up." Kisame replied a little laxly: "That guy is not easy to deal with... Then, what's the matter with summoning us suddenly? "

"I have an important piece of information to inform everyone." Payne paused, and said, "Oshemaru was killed."

"He has been away from the Akatsuki organization for more than ten years, which just saves us the trouble of killing him." Kisame said slowly: "But I really want to see how that guy and that pair of zombie partners died."

"Both Hiduan and Jiao are partners, don't say that about them." Payne interrupted Guixie's slightly teasing voice.

Thinking of Fei Duan's rebelliousness, Hua Shi snorted softly.

——That guy was so disrespectful to his seniors, no wonder he was finally killed by Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's team.

"I'm sorry." Kisame apologized for his previous words, and continued: "However, he is considered a formidable guy who can defeat Orochimaru. Who did it?"

"Uchiha Sasuke." Bai Ze replied.

Hearing this name, Huashi was not surprised.She had already obtained this information before, and now she just confirmed it again from Payne.

"You did a good job." There was a hint of admiration in Guixie's words: "As expected of Mr. Itachi's younger brother."

"Now, he is busy gathering partners, and they are full of troublesome people." Bai Jue said.

"In order to get information about Itachi, he is likely to target Akatsuki." Payne said, "Anyway, please pay more attention to yourself. Especially... Itachi still has time."

His eyes swept over the two of them one by one, but they didn't answer.

The meeting was dissolved, and everyone untied the Magic Lantern Body Technique and left one after another.Itachi, who was standing opposite the stone lamp, kept watching her. She didn't rush to leave, but stayed where she was, and asked, "Will Sasuke come to you first, or come to me first?"

The fire light in the stone lamp jumped slightly and made a light crackle.

"It should be me." Uchiha Itachi replied, he put one hand in his collar, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"You should protect your beloved brother from coming to me first. I'm not a kind person." She sneered, then made a seal with her hands and unwrapped her magic lamp body technique.Chakrapo retracted instantly, and his consciousness returned to his body.Before she could open her eyes, she heard her partner's energetic voice.

"Ah, I looked carefully this time, and I was absolutely right! It must be in this shape, as flat as a door panel..."

"Fire Escape · Fireball Art! You're the only one who talks too much!"

She thought that there would be a day when she and Uchiha Itachi would meet in real body again, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.Nine-tailed beasts have only been sealed to four tails, and the plan still has a long way to go.And he seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and suddenly appeared in front of her after sealing Four Tails.

When he suddenly came to look for Huashi, she was so angry by her mentally retarded partner that she wanted to turn into a fire-breathing dinosaur.

"Well, senior Huashi... I heard that Sasuke was released, are you super, super scared? You need a warrior to protect you who is weak and cute... you need the love of your junior, right?"

"...No, not at all."

She sighed deeply, resting her forehead, wanting to bump against the tree trunk.

No matter who it is, please save her from the clutches of the schizophrenia patient.

While thinking this way, she heard Uchiha Itachi calling her name.

"Flower time."

She put down the hand resting on her forehead, raised her head with doubts, and looked directly in front of herself.The woods were a shade of green, with bristling grass blades and low bushes underfoot.Uchiha Itachi stood under a tree branch not far away, looking at her with his black eyes.

After joining the Akatsuki organization, even if they met each other, they only met each other as phantoms.In the eyes of the other party, they are all just a blurry phantom.It was the first time in years that he had seen him so accurately and truly.Even though she didn't know the reason why Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared in front of her as the main body, she still couldn't help but began to look at him carefully.

His face didn't seem to have changed much, but the expressionless face looked more and more indifferent.The neat wooden leaf forehead, the long black hair tied behind the shoulders, and the black robe with the neckline slightly open, these are the images of him that she is familiar with.

"It's the first time that so many people from Akatsuki's organization really got together. I'm a little excited." Kisame carried his big sword on his shoulder and walked towards Itachi, saying with nostalgia as he walked. : "The last time I saw you together, it seems to have been several years ago."

Hua Shi's eyes swept towards Guixier's direction, and he responded symbolically: "If you have to say it, it's true."

The corner of Gui Shark's lips twitched, and he let out a chuckle.

Perhaps the appearance of Uchiha Itachi gave Uchiha Madara a sense of threat, and he finally stopped playing the mentally handicapped child.He leaned against the tree, crossed his arms, and said deeply: "...you always have your own things to solve. I'll wait for you here."

Huashi was a little surprised by his words.

His attitude towards her is really becoming more and more indulgent now—or is it that he is so convinced that she will not do anything to disobey him in the face of Uchiha Itachi, who was once a childhood friend?

She glanced in Madara's direction, then walked forward.Her footsteps stepped on the fine grass leaves, and the hem of her clothes rubbed against the bushes, making a soft sound.Not long after, she stood in front of Itachi Uchiha.

The young man standing in front of him looked very familiar, yet strange at the same time.He was cold, expressionless, and seemed devoid of any emotion.Huashi raised her head, and the moment she met his eyes, she quickly lowered her head again.

For some reason, she turned her face sideways and turned her gaze behind her.

The trees passed by, and she saw the masked man leaning against the tree in the distance. She looked at his seemingly indifferent expression, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ?”

Although the words in her mouth were interrogative sentences, she already had some guesses in her mind.

After Uchiha Sasuke killed Orochimaru and began to gather his partners, he suddenly appeared in front of her.His behavior is absolutely inseparable from Sasuke's revenge.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to chuckle in a low voice - after all, she knew early on that Uchiha Itachi is a person who loves his younger brother more than anything else, only Sasuke can make him abandon others.Only Sasuke can make him make those sudden and decisive decisions.
