Ten days later.
The land of rain.
In a deserted, rundown town.
As night fell, in the quiet house, Xiaonan, who had recovered somewhat from the injury on his leg, silently looked at the cross country who had carried him on his back for ten days and was covered with countless scars, and was speechless.
It’s been ten days!
It has been ten days since I carried Xiaonan off-road to escape from Kakuzu's pursuit!
During these ten days, except for a small amount of time spent recovering physical strength and chakra, most of the time off-road was using the secret technique of "acceleration" to escape Kakuto's pursuit with Konan on his back.
In fact, even in cross-country, I didn't expect that Kakuzu would be such a persistent guy!
After chasing Konan across the country for at least a hundred miles in the Land of Rain, Kakuzu still did not give up on the mission of capturing Konan!
Even Cross Country, who is familiar with the plot of the original work, has some doubts. Is it really Kakuzu who is chasing him behind?
Is he really the very impatient Kakuzu who values time very seriously and scolded Hidan many times for wasting time in the original plot?
However, even though Cross Country was a little suspicious, it was not Kakuzu who was chasing him, but a very stubborn guy. Even if Cross Country was unwilling to admit Kakuzu's identity, he fought against Kakuzu many times within ten days. , in order to ensure Xiaonan's safety. Judging from the many secret techniques used by Kakuzu, Cross Country must admit that the guy chasing them behind is Kakuzu!
In the original plot, Kakudu, as a veteran strongman, masters the secret technique of Earth Resentment and Yu!
At this moment, the injuries all over Cross Country's body are undoubtedly the best proof of the other party's identity!
Don't look at Kakuzu chasing after Cross Country. When Xiao Nan used Cross Country's secret technique of "acceleration" to escape, Kakuzu couldn't do anything about Cross Country.
But off-roading is about people!
Since we are human beings, we need some time to rest and recover!
Moreover, off-road and Xiaonan did not carry many secret medicines for restoring chakra. Therefore, in the situation of being chased by Kakuzu every day and maintaining the secret technique of "acceleration" almost all the time, there must be a time to restore chakra, otherwise the chakra amount of the cross country will not be able to do anything. Support the use of "acceleration" secret techniques.
On the contrary, that scary guy from Kakuzu doesn't seem to need to eat, sleep, go to the toilet, or restore chakra!
Every time Cross Country used the secret technique of "acceleration", Xiaonan and Xiaonan had already escaped far away.
However, every time he takes Xiaonan off-road, as long as he is resting or recuperating, when using the wind sense, he will soon find Kakuzu's figure appearing in the wind sense.
Also every time, when Kakuzu's figure appeared in Cross Country's sense of wind, Cross Country had to fight fiercely with Kakuzu, and then use Konan's secret technique of "acceleration" to escape.
Over time, cross-country has come to regard this escape experience as a kind of practice.
On the contrary, Xiaonan was silent for a while as he looked at Cross Country who was silently healing his wounds and protecting himself carefully.
Then, certain memories appeared in my mind. Recalling every time Kakuzu caught up with her and risked his life to ensure her safety in cross-country, Xiaonan's originally very strong heart actually melted little by little and became Soft and sensitive!
"In the past ten days, Feng and Hanzo's minions have fought fiercely more than twenty times, right?" "
And if it weren't for protecting me, Feng's injuries might not be so serious." "
After all, In the twenty-some confrontations between Feng and Hanzo's minions, my legs were injured and were like a burden, unable to fight." "On the contrary,
Feng, every time he found that Hanzo's minions were going to hurt me,..." "
Just. Use your own body to hurt me instead?" She
thought secretly, and even Xiaonan herself didn't notice it. A faint smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Moreover, when Xiaonan looked at the cross country again, her eyes were no longer so cold.
The look in his eyes towards Yukio was just like the look in Konan's eyes towards Nagato and Yahiko when he was a child, filled with an inexplicable brilliance.
And that inexplicable brilliance is trust!
yes!
Besides Yahiko and Nagato, who can protect Konan for the real ten days?
Who can fight against an extremely terrifying guy for Xiao Nan within ten days without abandoning or giving up?
It is true that when Xiaonan first came into contact with off-road, he always felt that off-road was deliberately approaching with some unknown purpose.
But after ten days of shared adversity, even if you are rescued by a strange ninja who doesn't know whether he is a friend or an enemy, and you try your best to protect him, you may have to slowly trust that stranger. The ninja.
What's more, Xiaonan is a girl.
Are girls inherently more emotional than boys?
Therefore, today, ten days later, after the same hundred-mile chase in Jiaodu, Xiaonan was already ready to have a good talk with the cross-country in front of him.
Then, just as Cross Country was taking care of his injuries and observing the surrounding situation with vigilance, Xiaonan suddenly stood up, which immediately attracted Cross Country's attention!
"Uncle Xiao Nan, be careful! The injury on your leg is not completely healed yet. You still need to recover for at least half a month!" "
Feng, I want to have a good talk with you."
"Talk?"
Hidden under the ANBU mask , Cross Country raised a faint smile, thinking that he had finally waited for this day.
However, on the surface, he still performed well in cross-country. There was a look of struggle in his eyes, and he asked: "Uncle Xiaonan, what do you want to talk about?" "Feng, you should know what I want to talk about.
"
Slowly heading off-road, Xiaonan said softly:
"You are from the Leaf Village. It may be your mission to find me, so tell me about your mission." "It
has been ten days, you have protected me so wholeheartedly. , what exactly do you need?"
"Feng, you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, you should know when to tell the truth." "
Now is an opportunity I give you. I hope"
"You can cherish it!"
"Okay. Okay, Uncle Xiaonan, I understand."
The faint smile that raised at the corner of his mouth suddenly became a little richer.
In front of Xiaonan, Cross Country took a deep breath first, then nodded, and then said openly and honestly: "Uncle Xiaonan, since I have always called you uncle, you must have guessed my identity. ?"
"That's right!"
"I am a disciple of the Fourth Hokage. My master, the Fourth Hokage, is your junior brother, Uncle Xiaonan." "
As for how I learned about your identity, Uncle Xiaonan, there is no need to think too much about it. Yes, it must be because of my master, Jiraiya."
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, Uncle Xiao Nan. The real reason why I went to the Kingdom of Rain is not for anything else, but actually for the internal fighting in the village!" "Internal fighting?" After saying this, Xiao Nan glanced
suspiciously
. Take a look at off-roading.
Cross Country nodded seriously again and said firmly: "Yes, it's an internal fight." "
My master, the Fourth Hokage, has an enemy in the village named Shimura Danzo. Uncle Xiaonan must have heard about it. Have you passed?"
"Because my master has only succeeded to the throne of Hokage not long ago and has very little power in the village. I cannot defeat Shimura Danzo, so I was sent to work under Shimura Danzo as an undercover agent next to Shimura Danzo. Step by step, I gained the trust of Danzo Shimura. After that, Danzo Shimura assigned me dangerous missions again and again. The original purpose of my trip to the Land of Rain was actually a very important mission assigned to me by Danzo Shimura. "
It's just that this mission is very important to the master, so what my master, the Fourth Hokage, means is..." "
Destroy Shimura Danzo's mission!"
After saying that, Cross Country paused, and then looked at Xiaonan. Sure enough, I found that Xiaonan's eyes became a little different.
Obviously, as one of the founders of the "Akatsuki" organization, Xiaonan is definitely not an idiot.
Therefore, from the words of Cross Country Jiu False and True, Xiaonan gradually began to suspect that Demigod Hanzo wanted to organize peace talks with "Akatsuki".
Cross-country happened to be when Xiaonan became suspicious. He added fuel to the fire and said directly to Xiaonan in front of him: "
Uncle Xiaonan, I believe you must want to know what is the mission assigned by my master, the Fourth Hokage and Danzo Shimura. Right?"
"Then before we talk about the mission given by my master, the Fourth Hokage, let's talk about the mission given by Shimura Danzo!" "
In Konoha Village, the mission given to me by Shimura Danzo is... "
"Cooperate with the demigod Hanzo to eliminate the rebel organization called "Akatsuki" in the Land of Rain!"
"Look for an opportunity to assassinate the three leaders of the "Akatsuki" organization!"
"The names are, Yahiko and Nagato Konan!!"
