I, Uchiha Yiyong, have not been hated!

Konan was sitting at the Butterfly Ninja's desk, organizing the words for asking "whether Muichiro is a cyborg."

  The color of Muichiro's lower hair, and even the fact that he was born with three chakra attributes may be coincidences, but only that warm feeling like a blood connection, Konan still finds it incredible when thinking about it.

  She has been an orphan for as long as she can remember, and the people closest to her are Yahiko and Nagato. The three of them are called partners, but they are actually brothers and sisters.

  Now more than twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, Yahiko has been dead for a long time, Nagato's temper has changed and he has moved away, and no member of the (original) Akatsuki organization who worked hard together is left behind.

  Although Giyu, Anjurou and Butterfly Ninja are all very good people, to be honest, Konan has always felt that there is some fundamental gap between herself and the three of them - as if they are not creatures from the same world.

  This is not her feeling alone.

  Most adults in the Kingdom of Rain who have formed their own values ​​cannot understand the thoughts and practices of these three people.

  The first is Uchiha Giyuu, who is known to very few people in the Rain Country.

  This man is taciturn and goes his own way. He wanders around all year round, silently investigating missing persons cases that have nothing to do with him.

  However, once the culprit is found, whether it is a ninja from a big country or a close relative of a daimyo, Uchiha Giyuu kills at will. Therefore, he is wanted by the Three Kingdoms, and the bounty is rising steadily, and has surpassed the fourth Kazekage and the two Daisui. The sum of Shadow's bounties.

  Secondly, Butterfly Ninja is the greatest benefactor of the Rain Country.

  Although he has the strongest blood inheritance limit in the entire ninja world, he has no interest in promoting force.

  She detoxified the large lake outside Yuyin Village and raised fish, cultivated rice that could be grown on slightly poisonous soil, eliminated at least a dozen infectious diseases, and single-handedly established hospitals, schools, and orphanages in the Land of Rain. The Butterfly Ninja not only wanted to popularize education, but even proposed the crazy idea of ​​"let everyone control chakra", hoping to narrow the gap between ordinary people and ninjas as much as possible.

  Finally, there is the Infernal Anjuro whom Konan is familiar with.

  As far as she knew, the small countries that received Anjuro's help included the Country of Sichuan, the Country of Forests, and the Country of Birds, and it was not just the Country of Rain.

  This is also something that makes it difficult for Xiaonan to accept it. It seems that Anjuro will radiate heat wherever there is need.

  No matter it is the Land of Rain, she, or even Xianglan and Xingzhi, are not special to Xing Jurou. Because the sun shines on everyone equally.

  Because of the above reasons, over the past few years, the relationship between Xiaonan and the three of them has remained at the level of "cooperation" and has never been able to go further.

  After all, these three people are not clearly on the side of the Kingdom of Rain, but on the side of all the oppressed people. Therefore, this barrier is something that Xiaonan, who was born in the Land of Rain, cannot overcome.

  Nowadays, the new Kingdom of Rain is about to be born, but Xiaonan looks around, but can't find anyone who can truly share her joy, tension and sadness.

  It would be fine if she had never had a bond with others, but as long as she experienced the surging emotion of "being willing to sacrifice everything for the one she loves" even once, loneliness would become very difficult to bear, and as she gets older, The growth, the blur of memories becomes more intense.

  until today.

  The moment I saw Muichiro Tokitoru, that long-lost feeling - the urge to give everything for it without thinking, finally came back.

  Therefore, if Muichiro is really the so-called "artificial human", Xiaonan hopes that she can get him from the butterfly ninja and raise him with her own hands and take care of him.

  The problem now is that Xiaonan is worried that this request will affect the cooperation between the Rain Country and the Butterfly Ninja.

  If the Butterfly Ninja is indeed an artificial human created by Orochimaru using Senju Hashirama's cells as rumored, then she probably just wants to create a similar person to accompany her. After all, at least her relationship with Giyuu does not seem to be very harmonious. Look——

  The reservoir downstream of the hydropower station that currently supplies power to Yuyin Village was the result of a fight between those two people.

  In short, people always judge others by themselves. Konan subconsciously hopes to rely on Muichiro to relieve her loneliness, and thinks that the butterfly ninja has the same reason.

  She sat quietly on the chair, her brain spinning at high speed like the blades of a fan, thinking about how to word her words so that she would appear firm but not too aggressive and arouse the hostility or disgust of the Butterfly Ninja.

  Because she was thinking so seriously, she didn't even notice that a pool of colorless liquid was seeping through the gap in the window facing the wisteria tree.

  It flowed along the wall to the ground, and as if it had self-awareness, it quietly approached Xiao Nan from the blind corner of the field of vision and came directly behind her.

  Immediately afterwards, the transparent liquid quickly gathered towards one point. What was originally a long stream-like beach turned into a column as tall as a person in a blink of an eye, and finally transformed into a human form.

  When Konan realized something was wrong, a sheathed samurai sword was already placed across her neck. The knife was held by an arm without a sleeve.

  She made the following judgment almost instantly - the arm was very thin and should not belong to an adult. The skin was fair and transparent, with no obvious muscles or any conspicuous blood vessels - these were enough to determine the identity of the other party.

  "You are dead!"

  After the person behind him said these words in a pretentious manner, before he could continue any action, Xiaonan turned into countless paper shurikens and flew behind him, directly penetrating the person's body, and finally ended up in the office. One corner comes together to form.

  She held her hands together in a tiger seal and called out the person's name with a serious face: "Gui Deng Shui Yue, when did you come back?"

  "It was just now!"

  Kiden Suigetsu, who had hundreds of holes pierced by paper shurikens, quickly recovered and was about to rush forward to continue the "battle". However, when he saw Konan's hands seeming to be in a fire escape stance, he subconsciously glanced down. Only then did he realize that his body was actually covered with detonating symbols.

  Although the detonating talisman cannot kill him, once it detonates, his body will definitely turn into countless scattered small water droplets. If he wants to gather them together, he will need a lot of chakra...

  The point is, it doesn't matter if it blows up him, but if it blows up the old witch's office——

  "Okay, okay, that's it for today!"

  Ghost Light Shuiyue dropped the white sheath katana in his hand, waved to Xiaonan, and then asked carelessly while tearing off the explosive talisman on his body: "I said Aunt Angel, you don't work in the building over there, why are you here? Already?"

  The nondescript "Auntie Angel" made Xiaonan's hands that had just been released feel the urge to hold them back.

  She slowly floated down, without answering Gui Deng Shui Yue's question. She just hooked her hand, and the detonating symbols flew back quickly. They were read on her clothes like sticky notes, and then slowly merged with her body. One body.

  To be honest, the bodies of these two people are quite similar to a certain extent.

  "Oh, what a pity."

  I don't know if Gui Deng Shui Yue is talking about the detonating symbols or his "wonderful performance."

  He picked up the white sheath katana lying on the ground and drew it out. In an instant, the cold light of the sword made the whole room feel colder.

  Xiao Nan could tell that for some unknown reason, Gui Deng Shui Yue was probably showing off the weapons in his hands.

  But she knew nothing about the Ninja Sword. She only thought that this sword looked a bit primitive. Although the curvature of the blade was similar to that of the Ninja Sword, it had both inner and outer edges.

  [It doesn’t look like something from this era...]

  Ghost Light Suigetsu waved his samurai sword dissatisfied: "I sneaked in secretly to teach that old witch a lesson, but I didn't expect you to be the one in the office."

  "Do you think her sword is not sharp enough?" Xiaonan said sarcastically.

  "so what?"

  It was impossible for him to give in where Butterfly Shinobu wasn't around.

  Gui Deng Shui Yue raised his eyebrows and actually raised the weapon in his hand: "My sword is not bad at all!"

  Then, under Konan's shocked gaze, she suddenly slashed her katana at the Butterfly Ninja's desk, chopping off one corner of it.

  "Hahaha, sure enough, even the iron-hard wood reinforced with wood escape can't stop this knife!"

  Gui Deng Shui Yue was ecstatic.

  It should be noted that iron-hard wood is the hardest wood known in the ninja world. Ordinary ninjas cannot even penetrate steel nails. Unexpectedly, he just held the knife and waved it and cut it off easily - Butterfly Ninja uses wood. The iron-hard wood produced by escape is several times stronger than the natural one.

  "How about this knife..."

  Oni Deng Shuiyue turned his head excitedly, and was about to introduce his origin to Xiaonan. Unexpectedly, what he saw was the door being pushed open, and the Butterfly Ninja surrounded by a group of white coats, smiling half-heartedly.

  The youngest one in the group of white coats, Zhu Tie Gang Zuo, clapped silently and gave a thumbs up to Gui Deng Shui Yue, looking very sincere.

  But Konan, who originally planned to discuss important matters with the Butterfly Ninja, took a half-step back.

  Gui Deng Shuiyue froze on the spot for a second, and then said with a smile on his face: "Well... I originally planned to glue the table together."

  five minutes later.

  "I really didn't expect it."

  The Butterfly Ninja patted the left face of Suigetsu Kito, who was hanging on the wall by vines, with his scabbard.

  "Not to mention saying bad things about me everywhere in Yuyin Village. Because I didn't want to help in the hospital, I fled back to the Kingdom of Water. However, less than an hour after I got back, I vandalized public property in my office again..."

  She looked up at Gui Deng Shui Yue, sighed and said: "It seems that I can't control you, so I can only write to Yiyong to explain the situation... As for the eleventh type of water breathing, you might as well stop learning it. Well. Lest he have to face his own tricks one day when he cleans up the house, how sad..."

  "Don't! I'll just point to that one and stay alive!"

  Gui Deng Shui Yue, who had his chakra drained by Mu Dun, begged for mercy miserably, "I will do whatever you say. Please don't complain to the teacher! I am also willing to go to the hospital to carry a chamber pot to those disabled... patients." !”

  The Butterfly Ninja looked at him without speaking, with a playful look on his face.

  "Three months? Half a year? One year! One year is okay, right?"

  "That's it, then you have to remember what you said today. If you can't remember it, this tape recorder will remind you."

  The Butterfly Ninja raised the iron box he was holding in his left hand and pressed the button to stop recording, "You know, your teacher is a person who accepts death. The most disgusting thing is those who break their promises. You must not fall into this trap." On this kind of thing."

  "..." After the handle was taken, Guiteng Shuiyue was about to cry without tears, and then he aimed at Butterfly Ninja's right hand, "Well, can you return the knife to me..."

  "Aren't you going to work for me in the hospital for a year? What do you need this thing for? We only use a bone saw and a scalpel here."

  The butterfly ninja glanced at him with a warning look, "Before you fulfill your promise, I will find a place to lock this knife. Of course, it will be a place where you will never find it."

  "Lock it up?" Gui Deng Shui Yue's face was filled with regret, "But..."

  "Don't look like that. I'll give it back to you in a year at most. Besides, if you use it to chop things all day long, your time in the hospital will also be extended..."

  "But it doesn't belong to me alone! It also has an owner!"

  Ghost Light Suigetsu struggled and interrupted: "Besides, this Kusanagi sword has been hidden in the snow for hundreds of years. I finally brought it to light again. It would be too unfair to hide it again!"

  "You just said..." Xiaonan interrupted: "Is this the Kusanagi sword?"

  "Yes, can an ordinary sword cut through iron-hard wood so easily?" Ghost Light Suigetsu shouted: "Ordinary people can cut iron like clay with it. This is the Kusanagi Sword!"

  The Kusanagi Sword is the most precious treasure in the ninja world after the Six Paths Noble Phantasm. It has always existed only in folklore.

  No one knows exactly how many there are; no one knows who made them; and there are only a few records of the functions of each sword.

  But all the literature about the Kusanagi sword, without exception, all mention one of its characteristics - it cannot be destroyed.

  This alone is enough to make Kusanagi Sword stand out in this world where cold weapons are rampant.

  How important is a weapon that cannot be destroyed? Ask the guys whose weapons were destroyed by Uchiha Giyu - such as Black Hoe Raiga and Biwa Juzo. They must have a lot to say.

  "The indestructible nature of King Kong..." Butterfly Ninja was considered a scientist, and he immediately became interested in the weapon in his hand, "If it is true..."

  She pulled out the blade, held the handle with her left hand, and pinched the tip with the index finger and thumb of her right hand. Then she gave it a hard squeeze, but she couldn't bend the blade even a little, let alone break it.

  This is a body that can break a mountain with one punch.

  "Besides being strong, what other uses does it have?"

  The butterfly nin held the handle of the knife and drew a circle in the air, pointed it at the wisteria tree outside the window, and tried to input chakra.

  "歘——"

  In the next second, a sudden change will occur!

  The blade of the Kusanagi sword was like a train emerging from a tunnel, extending forward at the speed of a bullet. The huge wisteria tree was mercilessly pierced in an instant!
  The Butterfly Ninja's expression changed slightly, he stopped inputting chakra, and the blade stopped growing.

  However, she held the handle of the knife and did not notice any change in its weight.

  "Miss Xiaonan, can I ask you a favor?" She turned to look at Xiaonan who was observing quietly.

  No need to say it explicitly, Xiaonan also knows what Butterfly needs her to do. So she nodded, flew out of the window, and returned about twenty seconds later.

  "The length extends by nearly two hundred meters." Xiaonan's answer surprised Butterfly.

  "In other words, the breakthrough speed of the sword is about one hundred meters per second." She lowered her head and calculated, "If used in conjunction with Insect Breath·Zhenmi, even enemies hundreds of meters away cannot escape. A thrust at this speed..."

  As she retracted the chakra fed into the Kusanagi sword, the sword returned to its original size - the weight remained unchanged.

  "You said before that this sword does not belong to you alone?" Butterfly Ninja looked at Kiden Suigetsu, "Who is the other person?"

  "It's Yakushi Kabuto." Kiden Suigetsu spit out a name that Butterfly Ninja didn't expect.

  "Him?" Butterfly couldn't help but wonder, "What does he have to do with this Kusanagi sword?"

  Kito Suigetsu explained: "Do you remember that there was a village near Orochimaru's base in the Land of Water that built seven ninja swords? When my teacher and I first met Yakushi Kabuto, he was there. Looking for the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword, intending to give it to Orochimaru for credit.

  "About a month ago, Kabuto Yakushi told me that he finally finished translating the ancient texts that he couldn't fully recognize back then and knew where the Kusanagi Sword was hidden.

  "It's just that he has been under house arrest by you in disguise and can't move at all. Please discuss with me and let me, a local snake in the Kingdom of Water, find it. Then this Kusanagi sword will be ours together!"

  "What's he doing with this knife?"

  Butterfly frowned.

  First rule out the possibility that the other party wants to use this weapon to deal with her.

  Although the Kusanagi sword can greatly improve the strength of a ninja, it only elevates a person from an ordinary jounin to the level of an elite jounin. For people who want to deal with butterfly ninja, the effect is not as good as that of an A-level ninja. The technique is bigger.

  Thinking of this, she walked to her desk, picked up a morning glory with long vines, and said to the flower: "Gang Zuo, let the pharmacist come to my office. Thank you."

  Xiaonan blinked in confusion, and Gui Deng Shuiyue also had an expression of "Are you stupid?"

  But five seconds later, Zhutori Gangzuo's voice - although it was a bit distorted, you could still tell it was his tone - came from the morning glory: "Okay, I understand."

  "What is this?" Xiaonan approached and asked.

  "A newly developed plant last month allows us to transmit sound through vines in this building. By inputting the corresponding chakra, we can connect to the corresponding room."

  Butterfly Ninja smiled and said, "If this technology is more mature, it should be able to connect the entire village. If anything happens by then, there will be no need to run back and forth like now. Speaking of which..."

  She suddenly remembered that Xiaonan had been waiting for him here: "Miss Xiaonan, why did you come to see me today?"

  "..." After glancing at Ghost Light Suigetsu and thinking about Yakushi Kabuto who was about to arrive here, Xiaonan decided to wait until they left before talking to Butterfly Ninja in private.

  "It's nothing important. Just deal with the matter in front of you first."

  Butterfly Ninja had a "Thank you for understanding" expression on his face, but he knew Xiaonan's intention in his heart.

  When Immortal Kawagenya was resurrected, the things that happened between him and Taketori Kimimaro were still vivid in his mind. How could the butterfly ninja not know what would happen after Konan met Muichiro.

  But due to the previous lessons, Butterfly Ninja planned to let Muichiro and Konan meet before leaving the village for a while. After a period of time, when the two meet again, the feeling of blood connection should fade a lot.

  As a senior and a partner, she certainly hopes that Muichiro and Konan can get along well. Muichiro had better be able to do what the three of them couldn't do, and get into Konan's heart. But she didn’t want this intimate relationship to be based on strong physical and chemical reactions, so she had such a plan.

  The safest option is to wait until the two of them have calmed down before getting along like normal people making friends.

  At this time, seeing that Konan was not going to mention Muichiro in front of outsiders, the Butterfly Ninja was a little relieved - among the several possibilities she had preset, Konan was likely to question her directly regardless of the cost, but this did not Yet to happen.

  [That’s okay, let’s find out what Kabuto Yakushi is planning first...]

  Kabuto Yakushi is a person who has a very good sense of time. Less than five minutes after Butterfly Ninja hung up the "phone", he knocked on the door and came in.

  "I really need you to find it."

  His eyes did not linger too much on Kiden Suigetsu, but on the Kusanagi sword in the hand of Butterfly Ninja: "Amancongyun Sword, finally met the master who is suitable for him."

  "Master?" Gui Deng Shuiyue was stunned for two seconds, and then immediately understood what Yakushi Kabuto meant, and shouted loudly: "Hey, hey, you don't want to pass this thing to her, do you? This knife is still there I have my share!”

  "The Kusanagi Sword is certainly precious, but if it cannot display its due value, it is just a waste of natural resources."

  Yakushi Kabuto pressed the frame on the bridge of his nose with a confident smile on his face: "Kiden Suigetsu, you should have noticed that this sword cannot match your hydration technique at all. On the contrary, it is the same Kusanagi sword. The Ten Fist Sword has no shape and will appear in a suitable size according to the user's body.

  "Compared to the Amancongyun Sword, is the Kusanagi Sword more suitable for you?"

  Gui Deng Shui Yue asked in surprise: "So, you know the whereabouts of the Ten Fist Sword?"

  "As long as we collect intelligence through the right channels, it will happen sooner or later."

  "Tsk, are you trying to draw a cake with me?" Gui Deng Shuiyue's eyebrows drooped.

  "If you are willing to give up ownership of the other half of this knife, I will do my best to find it."

  Yakushi Kabuto seemed to be discussing, but in fact he knew very well what choice Kiden Suigetsu would make, "Of course, if you want to continue to possess it, you would rather that the Amancongyun Sword cannot display its due value and the orb is covered in dust. I would rather How about giving you half of my ownership?
  "Of course, in this case, if I have news about other Kusanagi swords in the future, I will have to ask others to find it..."

  After Gui Deng Shui Yue heard the last sentence, he immediately changed his mind: "Then let's do it. I still like to kill people at close range. I always feel that I can't win if I poke people secretly from a hundred meters away..."

  He glanced at the Butterfly Ninja and said, "I might as well give it to you more generously."

  "Then it's settled." Kabuto Yakushi smiled the same fake smile as the Butterfly Ninja, "Miss Ninja, will you accept this belated gift?"

  "..."

  The Butterfly Ninja originally had a dispensable attitude towards this sword. Now after listening to Yakushi Kabuto's speech, he felt no surprise in his heart. He was all alert. He just pretended to be very useful on his face, but his words were... Not so pleasant anymore.

  "There is a folk saying that asking a weasel to send New Year greetings to a rooster is unkind. But conversely, it sounds equally awkward to me if a rooster sends New Year greetings to a wolf and a snake sends New Year greetings to an eagle.

  "Tell me about it, Kabuto Yakushi. Most people give gifts to others expecting a gift in return. What do you want from me?"

  Both of them were wearing clone-like smiles, but Xiaonan, who had been watching the show, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, so tense that she actually heard her own breathing.

  "Since you have exposed my purpose, there is no point in continuing to hide it."

  Medicine Master Kabuto smiled and said seriously: "I like everything to be in the most suitable position for them, that's all.

  "The most suitable position for this sword is in your hands, Miss Ninja. As an outstanding ninja, the most suitable position for me is not to teach math lessons to the children in the orphanage, nor to teach your medical students here. They provide surgical guidance.

  "Whether I am a teacher or a doctor, they are just roles I play."

  "Then what do you want to do? Conduct human experiments?" Gui Deng Shuiyue suddenly interrupted, "Are you going crazy here?"

  "..."

  Kabuto Yakushi sighed: "I want to personally establish the intelligence system of this village."

  "Huh?" This was an answer that the other three people had never thought of.

  "As an intelligence officer, I have had enough of asking others for any information, and analyzing the truth from second-hand, third-hand or even fourth-hand information."

  Kabuto Yakushi replied: "Although Miss Shinobu, you have many fresh ideas and inventions, in terms of information collection methods, Amegakure Village is not only primitive, but also very inefficient, so much so that in order to collect information on missing persons, They actually spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to hire ninjas from great countries...

  “And that’s not the most important thing.

  "Some important things, such as why Orochimaru-sama's 'resurrection' is getting faster every time..."

  Sure enough, when this topic was mentioned, a bright light suddenly flashed in the Butterfly Ninja's scrutinizing eyes.

  "If you are always like this, even if you are as powerful as Giyuu Uchiha, you can only be led by Orochimaru-sama, right?"

  "About Orochimaru...do you have any thoughts?" Butterfly Ninja asked tentatively.

  "It's not so much an idea as it is a reasonable speculation based on available intelligence."

  Yakushi Kabuto knew that the time to prove himself had come: "You previously judged that Orochimaru was resurrected through the curse mark left on others.

  “In other words, every time he uses the Heavenly Curse Seal, he will put part of his soul into the curse seal as an anchor point.

  "Since his soul is consumed every time he is resurrected or reincarnated into a new body, he should be weaker than before.

  "But in fact, he has been resurrected continuously in the past three years, completely ignoring the original three-year time limit for reincarnation. Even the time he lasted under Uchiha Giyuu became longer and longer, and the methods he used became more and more The more, this is obviously inconsistent with the previous situation.

  "Obviously, he must have used some means to overcome the side effects of the two spells, the Curse Seal of the Sky and the Undead Reincarnation."

  Speaking of the key point, Yakushi Kabuto lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, "And in the ninja world, there are only a handful of ninjutsu that can utilize the soul.

  "In addition to the Uzumaki clan's forbidden technique, the Seal of the Ghouls, and the spiritual transformation technique of his old friend Kato Dan, there is also the legendary Rinnegan Eye that can resurrect the dead."

  "You mean, Nagato-"

  Xiao Nan stood up straight, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

  "That's a big possibility, isn't it?"

  Yakushi Kabuto analyzed, "The information brought back by Giyuu Uchiha from the roots of Konoha said that when the Akatsuki organization confronted Danzo and Hanzo, they summoned a huge tawny colossus. The ninjutsu released by the colossus could Instantly takes away the chakra and soul of the person hit...

  "Since he can take away other people's souls, it's not inconceivable to use them, such as replenishing Orochimaru-sama's soul loss, isn't it?"

  Konan's eyes widened. She knew that what Kabuto Yakushi was talking about was Nagato's "heretic demon".

  But if he wanted to use people's souls, there was no need to summon a demon to take action. He could just suck out people's souls from their bodies with the help of human beings.

  "What's the basis for what you said?" Butterfly Ninja saw the uneasiness in Xiao Nan's heart and took the initiative to ask for her.

  "As I said before, this is the most reasonable guess based on the intelligence I can collect now."

  Kabuto Yakushi spread his hands, "The Akatsuki organization and Lord Orochimaru have cooperated before, and Orochimaru has always been obsessed with the Rinnegan Eye.

  "He is a poisonous snake who is desperate for survival, but now he appears so frequently and even becomes more difficult to deal with. It is impossible without other people's help."

  "But if Nagato is protecting him..." Xiaonan retorted: "There is no need for Orochimaru to run around. Wouldn't it be safest to stay with Nagato? Why should he be constantly chased outside?"

  "That's the whole point of my thinking."

  Kabuto Yakushi suddenly laughed, "If the plan of the holder of the Rinnegan Eye is to keep Orochimaru being resurrected, discovered, and killed in order to divert Uchiha Giyuu's attention so that he can't focus, What about focusing on what they really think about?”

  [Then what they are really planning...]

  Konan and Butterfly Ninja looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.

  [It must be much more harmful than conducting experiments on humans! 】

  "Again, because the information is too scarce, I can only rely on association to find a reasonable reason for those unreasonable things."

  Pharmacist Kabuto spread his arms to both sides, "If you can allow me to use my own method to collect information, I am afraid that what I will give you now will not be so-called guesses, but solutions to the problem."

  【If we can find Nagato...】

  Xiaonan was already moved. Under her seemingly calm surface, she was already burning with anxiety.

  Once the missing persons cases caused by Orochimaru turn out to be a bait set by Nagato's old mystery formation, then others, at least Uchiha Giyuu, will never give up!
  Just when she wanted to speak up and let Yakushi Kabuto play his role, Butterfly Ninja spoke up: "We can't make a decision on this matter."

  She ignored the movement in Xiaonan's eyes and said slowly but firmly: "In the final analysis, you are a captive of Yiyong.

  "He didn't kill you because the lives of those 'experimental subjects' had to be protected at that time, and there were even many children who were bewitched by Orochimaru to intercede for you...

  "But several years have passed, and I still think you haven't changed in any substantial way. Judging from the way you call Orochimaru, you don't even want us to think that you have changed in any way...

  "In short, I will definitely consider your proposal. But the final outcome will have to wait until Yiyong comes back and we will discuss it together before making a decision."

  "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

  Yakushi Kabuto said very confidently: "It's just that Uchiha Giyuu may not be able to come back recently. Judging from the time, it should be within a month before he meets Orochimaru-sama again."

  "That's it for now. As for your gift..." Butterfly Ninja held up a sword flower and looked up at the ghost lamp Shuiyue hanging on the wall: "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

  "At worst, I'll just take it as payment for teaching me swordsmanship." Gui Deng Shuiyue bared his teeth, "If you really feel bad about it, can you write off your part-time job in the hospital..."

  "Forget it. I don't particularly need it anyway..."

  "I'm joking! At least put me down first!"

  Gui Deng Shuiyue grabbed the vines wrapped around his waist and tugged at them to vent his anger. "If I had known I would never come back, I might as well listen to my elder brother and stay in the Kingdom of Water!"

  The vines loosened, and Ghost Light Suigetsu fell down. When he looked up, he found that Butterfly Ninja had come to him with his eyebrows arched.

  "When you went to the Kingdom of Water this time, did you see the ghost lantern and the full moon?"

  “Don’t worry, I haven’t said a word that I shouldn’t have said.

  "I just met a few fog ninjas on the way to find the Kusanagi sword. I heard that Dai Mizukage has been staying at home like Gotachibana Yagura recently. I felt a little strange, so I sneaked into the Amekage building to take a look."

  Gui Deng Shui Yue picked at the spot where the vines had strangled his waist, "I originally planned to compete with that guy, but unexpectedly, he told me as soon as we met that he probably had a few more months to live. , which made me suddenly lose interest.

  "After that, he also asked me to stay in the Mist Ninja Village to start a family and start a business, and at least leave descendants to inherit the name of the Ghost Lantern Clan...

  "I stayed with him for three or four days, and he said the same thing at least a hundred times, which made the water in my head almost turn into industrial glue. So one day, when he was unconscious after drinking the medicine, I Run away quickly."

  Several people in the room looked at him with complicated eyes: [How on earth does this Kirigakure Village raise children...]

  "Since it's his turn to be the Mizukage this year..." The butterfly ninja asked with some concern: "How is the ninja named Terumi Mei?"

  "I know this. She, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water, was sent to a small island with a particularly developed tourism industry to deal with an invasive alien octopus."

  "Octopus?" Xiaonan repeated to confirm that she heard correctly.

  "That's right. It's a particularly ferocious and cunning octopus. It's said to have drifted over from the waters of the Country of Waves."

  Ghost Light Suigetsu recalled: “They drove away the native octopus from the coast of the Kingdom of Water, ate them, and finally settled there disguised as victims, with no natural enemies at all.

  “Until recently, the number of ornamental fish in the coral reefs in that area has decreased significantly, and even wealthy people who like to dive are no longer willing to travel. After careful investigation, the locals discovered that the culprit was actually an alien creature.

  "The daimyo transferred two to three hundred people from the Mist Ninja Village. It had some effect at first, but later the octopuses became smarter. As soon as people came, they stayed away from the coastline. If they had nothing to eat, they would eat each other. Those who survived also Becoming more and more cunning. Some unlucky genin were even dragged into the sea, and half of their arms were missing when they were rescued."

  "It would be a shame if Kirigakure Village couldn't even deal with ordinary animals."

  Yakushi Kabuto shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

  Butterfly Nin deeply believed it, and for some reason, she always paid special attention to any anomalies related to the sea: "Did you see this kind of creature in person on your way back?"

  "More than just seeing it in person."

  Gui Deng Shuiyue laughed: "When I was passing by the water, I met a group of baby octopuses, which looked like they had just been born.

  "I didn't provoke them, but it took the initiative to provoke me, so I caught a few cubs and put them in my body and brought them back. Octopuses are fish too! I plan to raise them and let the teacher make them into seafood. Let’s see how it tastes…”

  Several people came up with a picture in their minds——

  In a transparent cube with a human head, there are several jumping little octopuses, swimming all the way up the current.

  "Where are they now?"

  "Where I live, do you want to see it now?"

  "Then I'll trouble you." Butterfly Ninja narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If you can, please bring them all."

  "Then prepare the fish tank first!"

  Gui Deng Shui Yue was quite happy to share his new toy. He turned into a wave and jumped out of the window.

  As for the fish tank, that was too easy. The Butterfly Ninja called Zhuge Steel Works and moved a glass coffin containing human specimens from the hospital.

  As soon as the water tank was prepared, Gui Deng Shui Yue came back - he chuckled, and his body and clothes turned into transparent water. Five fist-sized purple-gray octopuses were slowing down where his heart and lungs should be. Move slowly.

  But strangely, when the Butterfly Ninja approached for closer observation, these octopuses suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to sprint towards the outside of Kiden Suigetsu's chest, and squeezed out a long bulge!

  The scene was very much like the exaggerated expression in cartoons where a character's heart jumps directly out of his chest after being frightened.

  "They seem to like you very much?"

  Gui Deng Shui Yue was a little surprised by the reaction of these octopuses and no longer restricted them.

  Those octopuses broke through the boundary of the water body, opened their arms and legs, and pounced directly on the Butterfly Ninja's face.

  Butterfly Ninja raised his wrist and spit out sharp branches from his palm to pierce the leader of the octopus, and then slapped the others into the water tank.

  "Hey, why did you kill it?"

  The Butterfly Ninja did not respond, but silently removed the octopus strung on the branch, laid it flat on the table, and then picked up a scalpel.

  Upon seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi immediately stepped forward curiously and held down the squirming arms and legs of the octopus for the butterfly ninja after it died.

  Gui Deng Shui Yue was confused. Xiaonan was just waiting for the others to leave, so she wasn't too interested.

  It wasn't until more than twenty seconds later that she heard the sound of Yakushi Kabuto sucking in air.

  Then, at the moment when the butterfly ninja finished the dissection and stood up straight, the other three people present felt that their stomachs were sinking like a plummeting elevator!
  "Yan!"

  The Butterfly Ninja turned around and shouted out the window: "As Zhu, I inform Muichiro and Xuanya to immediately put down all activities they are doing and come here to see me!

  "The sooner the better!"

  There should be another update the day after tomorrow or Monday, and then I have to go on a business trip again...
