Konoha Thief

Chapter 451 The Silent Cat
When the tempting aroma emanated from the pot, Jing Yin's trembling symptoms disappeared immediately, and his appetite increased.

Tsunade and Orochimaru, who are Sannin, did not put on airs either. No one would be shaken by new things, especially food with such a provocative aroma.

"That guy Jiraiya is coming back soon, isn't he?" Tsunade was chewing, the corner of his mouth was stained with oil, Natsuki pointed aside, and handed over a tissue at the same time.

Tsunade froze for a moment, then took the tissue and smiled at him.

The face frozen in the most beautiful years, the moment of a slight smile, made Xia Shu stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the other party had already turned his head away.

It's just that he didn't know, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Tsunade almost cut off the chopsticks in his hand.

this little devil...

Tsunade felt a little restless for a while.

"Soon." Orochimaru said while squinting his eyes and swallowing slowly, "Kitin's departure from the land means that he has left completely, but Yunyin is different. Although it is separated by Shuang and Tang, Ruoyun has a heart , can still be easily traversed, so it is clear that the battle on Yunyin's side is over, but he will return to Konoha later than me, I think that guy must be very upset, haha!"

"Based on that guy's character...hahaha! I can almost imagine the way that guy jumped when he saw you in Konoha." Tsunade covered his stomach and laughed.

Accompanied by the cheerful atmosphere, several people got up and left after eating and drinking.

"This is our store's lifetime free coupon, and only a few have been given out so far." Xia Shu took the prepared coupon from the waiter and gave it to Tsunade and Orochimaru.

"Since it was Natsuki-kun's kindness, then I'm not polite." Orochimaru took it with a smile.

"There's no need for you and I to be polite." Tsunade said to Natsuki, and at the same time cast a glance at Shizune, who immediately took the ticket with a darling.

But at this moment, Tsunade raised his eyebrows suddenly, looked at Jing Yin in surprise and said, "Shi Jing, where is your cat?"

"Cat?" Jing Yin, who was holding a free coupon with a face full of joy, was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then his expression changed suddenly, his eyes widened and he shouted in a panic: "Where's my cat?!"

"Master Tsunade..." Shizune looked at Tsunade as if he was asking for help, he looked like he was drowning and longing for someone to rely on.

"That's your pet." Tsunade rolled his eyes, then looked at Natsuki beside him.

Apparently she wasn't paying attention to a cat at all.

"Let me look for it." Xia Shu smiled wryly.

Hot pot is so delicious, who would stare at a cat!
"Then please, brother." Jing Yin bowed.

"Don't worry." Xia Shu comforted with a smile.

Orochimaru glanced at him suddenly from the side, and a gleam of interest flashed in his golden vertical pupils.

Watching Tsunade and Shizune leave, I can still hear Tsunade say to Shizune, "If you find it, you will give it away. Cats are very difficult to keep. They might run away one day and won't come back. Even if you want to If you keep a pet, you can also raise a good one.” The two gradually disappeared into the crowd and disappeared after a while.

"Natsuki-kun, do you need my help?" Orochimaru looked at Xia Shu and asked.

"Thank you so much." Xia Shu smiled and nodded.

Immediately, the two of them didn't seem to be looking for it. Instead, they walked straight in one direction as if they had already identified their goal.

In a dark alley, there were a few weak meows, and a pair of faint eyes, like starlight, came slowly from the darkness.

"Meow~meow~" A cat came to Xia Shu's feet and rubbed against his trousers, full of flattery.

"Illusion?" Orochimaru bent down and reached out to grab the back of the cat's fate, looked into the kitten's eyes, and saw what Xia Shu had done to this little guy.

"Small means, I made you laugh." Xia Shu said modestly.

"Hehe." Orochimaru let go of the kitten, and the latter landed firmly on the ground, hurriedly retreated behind Natsuki, and then bared its teeth at the guy who gave it a terrifying feeling, making a threatening sound.

"Natsuki-kun brought me here, what's the matter?" Orochimaru asked at this time.

Xia Shu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

"What are the people at the root following you for?" Orochimaru asked suddenly.

Although the feeling just now was very faint, it was obviously some kind of perception ability, and the object of perception was naturally not him, but the root ninja hidden in the dark.

"Maybe they didn't follow me." Xia Shu shook his head.

"Oh?" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Senior Orochimaru, please follow me." Natsu Shu tilted his head and said.

"Okay." Orochimaru did not object.

Soon the two came to the back of a lively tavern, Xia Shu knocked rhythmically on the back door a few times, and the back door opened from the inside, but no one opened the door.

"Please come in." Xia Shu turned sideways and led in.

Orochimaru took a deep look at him and stepped in.

Entering this room, as Xia Shu closed the door, the bustling atmosphere of the tavern suddenly disappeared.

This place was obviously built on purpose.

Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help being even more curious about the purpose of the other party's invitation to come here.

"Master Orochimaru, do you know why those roots came from?" Xia Shu walked to the table and sat down. There was already a pot of good tea on the table. He lifted the teapot and tilted it slightly, and slowly poured it into the cup. The fragrance of tea permeates with the hot air.

"It seems that you know." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and thought quickly.

The first thing to make sure is that those root ninjas are really not following each other.

So, who is the root ninja following?

Since Xia Shu said so, the answer is self-evident, he is following him.

"That's right, I know, and I know the reason." Natsuki pushed the hot tea over and looked into Orochimaru's shattered golden eyes.

The two just stared at each other for a while, Xia Shu rubbed his eyes, and smiled helplessly.

"Let's talk." Orochimaru smiled triumphantly.

"A few days ago, Lord Danzo told me to maintain a good relationship with Minato Namakaze." Xia Shu looked away, took a sip of tea, and said in a calm tone.

After saying these words, the atmosphere in this rather elegant secret room, which was neither too big nor too small, suddenly seemed to be pressed the pause button, and the atmosphere froze.

After a long silence, Orochimaru broke the silence.

"What do you mean?" His tone was a little gloomy.

Xia Shu just glanced at him, but didn't answer because it wasn't necessary.

Some things can be understood even if they are not stated explicitly, but the understandable question is asked, which is a problem in itself.

Xia Shu glanced at Orochimaru, and saw that his face was cold, no different from the past.

But even so, he knew that Orochimaru's mood would definitely not be very calm at the moment.

Therefore, he still didn't answer, but just gave the other party silence.
