Chapter 10 Fireworks Festival
Shinji did not expect to meet Shion again in this way, and his heart rose in his throat.
Shion tilted his head: "Hey, I really want to meet you, but why can't I remember?"
Shinji shook his head: "We have never met!"
"Really."
Shion frowned and recalled seriously.
Shinji didn't show it on his face, but he was a little panicked in his heart.
After all, I am still a little unsure about the effect of my illusion.
Seeing Shion staring straight at Shinji, Shiro on the side looked at the two of them curiously.
"Your Highness, where are you?"
At this moment, the guards shouted from not far away.
"Kid, get out of the way!"
Seeing that the guards were about to catch up, Shion didn't care about anything else, she quickly pushed Shinji in front of her and ran away.
Shinji shook the corner of his mouth and cursed: "You used to call me 'big brother', but now you call me 'little devil', this guy!"
Not long after.
Several guards from the Kingdom of Ghosts, carrying large and small bags, chased after him, sweating profusely.
After asking Shinji and Shiro about the direction of Shion's escape, they apologized and continued to chase after him while shouting.
Looking at the guards going away, Bai She smiled and said: "It turns out that the miko-sama from the Kingdom of Ghosts just now was so naughty."
Shinji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the episode just now caught him off guard, it also proved that the psychological suggestion he implanted into Shion with the Mangekyō Sharingan was still in effect!
Then Shion probably came to Konoha just to seek refuge.
After all, when the shrine maiden was attacked in the original time and space, the Demon Country immediately requested support from Konoha.
This time the hand ghosts invaded, hundreds of Oni Kingdom guards were slaughtered in one night. It was reasonable for the Oni Kingdom to send young miko to Konoha for safety.
[The plane is invaded.]
[Countdown: 3]
Suddenly, without warning, a familiar voice sounded in Shinji's ears.
He subconsciously looked at Bai beside him and found that Bai couldn't hear the sound at all.
Seeing Shinji looking at him, Shiro asked, "Continue practicing?"
"No, go back."
Shinji shook his head.
After returning to the apartment and closing the door, his expression quickly darkened.
The countdown to this invasion is actually only three days!
An uneasiness spread in his heart.
The next day.
The village became noisy as teams from other villages participating in the Chunin Exams gathered in Konoha.
Shinji did not slack off during his vacation and was still practicing Taijutsu with Shiro in the training ground.
During the break, Bai smiled and said: "The mother-in-law at the meatball shop downstairs told me that the miko-sama we saw yesterday got rid of the guards early this morning and slipped out of the mission of the Kingdom of Ghosts alone. I'm wandering around the village."
"Oh."
Shinji responded casually.
But deep down in my heart, I made up my mind to avoid Ziyuan during this period and not to bump into her again.
Bai added: "I heard that there might be a fireworks festival at night!"
"Fireworks festival?"
"It seems to be to welcome other village ninjas who came to take the Chunin exam this time." After a pause, Bai asked: "What about the class?" The classmates organized to have barbecue and watch fireworks together in the evening. Shinji-san, do you want to go?"
Shinji casually said: "I'll forget it."
Shiro said: "Then I won't go either."
In the evening.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Shinji was leaning against the window, looking at the brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky, his face expressionless.
If you zoom in closer, you will find that his eyes are out of focus. It is obvious that he is not really enjoying the fireworks, but is thinking about something.
next door.
Bai Ye stared at the night sky, but his expression was extremely serious, as if he was not admiring the fireworks.
Suddenly, his eyes focused on an inconspicuous firework in the sky, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Then he sighed helplessly, went to the closet and changed his clothes.
In the village.
Sasuke was alone, sitting with his legs crossed by a small lake not far from his apartment. He did not look up at the night sky, but stared at the brilliant fireworks reflected on the lake.
The mood is completely opposite to the gorgeous fireworks reflected on the lake at this moment.
This excitement made him tired!
At this time, the fireworks reflected on the lake in his sight suddenly distorted, as if they had turned into the face he hated most.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Without thinking, he took out his kunai and jumped into the lake with a pop, breaking the calmness of the lake
in the apartment.
"It's too risky to break in!"
Shaking his head, Shinji drove the thought out of his mind.
No matter how desperately you want to get Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, you can't risk breaking into the ANBU building.
This is irrational!
But how to deal with this invasion is indeed a big trouble.
"You can't use 'Susanohu' every time, right? And why is the countdown so short this time?"
Shinji was secretly worried.
Click.
Suddenly, there was a soft slamming of the door next door.
If it weren't for the time when the fireworks were exploding, he might not have noticed it.
"It's so late, Shiro wants to go out?"
Shinji was a little confused, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was so lively outside, and it was normal for Shiro to want to go out for a walk.
But he soon frowned.
After the faint sound of the door closing, there were no normal footsteps.
Shinji calmed down his breath and slowly came to the door. He leaned against the door and listened for a while, and then he could barely hear Shiro's slight footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Sneaky, what is he doing?"
After thinking about it, Shinji decided to follow him and take a look.
But he obviously overestimated his tracking skills. In a moment, he lost sight of Bai, and only saw Bai disappear into the crowded street from a distance.
"He must be meeting someone. If he is so careful, the identity of the other party may be very sensitive."
Shinji was thinking about Shiro while shopping.
Shiro's appearance in Konoha Village and his vague curiosity about him and the Uchiha clan already made him feel strange.
Coupled with what happened just now, he was almost certain that there must be something wrong with Bai.
But he still couldn't tell who Shiro was working for, whether it was a big shot in the village or a spy carefully placed in Konoha from other villages.
Passing by a stall, Shinji suddenly stopped.
He saw the dazzling array of masks hanging on the stall, and recalled that when he first responded to the invasion, Shion accidentally saw his appearance, so he stepped forward and bought a pair of fox masks similar to those worn by ANBU.
learn from mistakes.
Next time he faces an invasion, he will have to disguise his identity.
He tied the mask around his waist and continued shopping.
Then unknowingly, he came to the remote training ground in the woods where he always sparred with Shiro.
In the night sky above
our heads, gorgeous fireworks will still explode from time to time.
"Hey, the village is very noisy tonight!"
After Laidu arrived, Shinji decided to take a break and practice 'water breathing' in this training ground for a while.
Suddenly
, two blasts of wind, one behind the other, came from not far away.
Shinji was startled and hid sideways in the bushes.
Immediately afterwards, two figures, one escaping and the other chasing, fell into the practice field.
Even though he was wearing a mask, Shinji still recognized that the one fleeing in front was Shiro who had just disappeared into the night in a sneaky manner, and the one chasing him behind was actually an ANBU ninja in the village.
The ANBU ninja stared at the masked Shiro and said: "Huh! I was just spying on the kid next door to you, but I didn't expect to catch you, a big fish. Let's just catch him without mercy, you can't escape!" For the new book issue, please vote for recommendations and monthly votes for
