Naruto: I am not the villain
Chapter 63 The Treasure of Konoha Urban Legend
Question: How to achieve the goal as quickly as possible without attracting attention?
Answer: Just take a shortcut where no one is around.
Maybe someone said: Bullshit, is there any quick and convenient shortcut in this world?If there were, wouldn't everyone take it, so what kind of shortcut would that be?
Getting something for nothing is ultimately a delusion. This seems to be a universally recognized truth. However, in fact, there are shortcuts to deal with many things.The reason why people turn a blind eye is because most people will subconsciously ignore it due to lack of ability, while those who can do it often know it well but keep it secret.
In winter, we are walking on a shortcut at this time.
On the rolling eaves, a white shadow passed over the hard and brittle tiles without making a sound.People on the ground who occasionally caught a glimpse between the houses just thought it was because they were dazzled by something or something passing by without any suspicion.
Rushing on this rooftop that is difficult to reach and rarely pay attention to by ordinary people, this is the shortest route planned when we were on the top of the tower.
Using this method of traveling invisibly that has been inherited by a certain Assassin organization for many years, Dong successfully avoided the eyes of those ignorant mortals and arrived near the previous positioning point without causing any commotion.
In a secluded alley, Dong jumped off the roof, then took out his mask, put it on, and quietly walked out of the alley.
After arriving at the street, Dong looked at the location he had located, and sure enough, those few people were gone.But it didn't matter. Once the Sharingan opened, the clues clearly appeared in front of him.
Dong observed the three different chakras in front of him. Their concentrations were different, but they were still very different.
Calculating the time and analyzing the degree of their dissipation, this is at the level where normal chunin dissipates chakra unconsciously and then dissipates naturally.
From this point of view, the risk level of these three people can basically be determined as "low".
Of course, it is unreliable to determine someone's strength based on the amount of chakra. Dong himself is a typical example, but even at a higher level, there are at most three Jonin. It is possible to deal with them in a place like this. It's more troublesome, but it only changes the evaluation from "low" to "lower", which is still under control.
It's not that Dong is conceited. There may be people like him in the world with huge differences in chakra volume and strength, but it's impossible to meet three people like this to form a team.
As for Chunin-level chakras, they have the combat power of elite Jonin and even Kage level...
Haha, in this world, there is no other possibility for this kind of person except Kaleidoscope.
And at the current point in time, if we talk about the owner of the kaleidoscope, who else in today’s world would be better than me!
Ahem, but confidence is self-confidence, and you still need to be cautious.
Dong put his right hand where he could draw the sword at any time, and with the pointing of the people around him, he quickly chased in the direction of the chakra.
The closer the distance, the higher the chakra concentration. After turning a corner, with his superb insight, Dong keenly captured a familiar back figure in the distance.
Well, a familiar piece of clothing to be precise.
'It turned out to be him. '
Dong suddenly realized that, thinking about the plot, during the three wars, he had indeed come to the Kingdom of Water to perform a mission, but...
Dong sighed with regret in his heart: "It seems useless to meet him now!" '
However, with the mentality of "give it a try, just in case it works", Dong took off his mask, slowly leaned closer, and then followed them all the way, maintaining a distance not too far but not too close.
Judging from the back, the three people all looked like teenagers. They walked and stopped, sometimes making noises, sometimes whispering, sometimes stopping at the stalls and pointing. They looked like a few ordinary tourist teenagers.
And when they turned around to buy something, Dongya saw their faces clearly.
The most conspicuous one, with his melon-skinned head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and green tights, is not the man who will use the power of a mortal to defeat the gods in the future, almost kick out the finale, and be hailed as the "King of Kai" by the world - Mai. Tekai!
As for the other two people, one is very social and wears sunglasses, and the other is arrogant and holds a thousand books in his mouth. They are Kai's teammates during the genin period - Ebisu and Shiranui Genma.
This island is located in the east of the Kingdom of Water, in the area where the Mist Ninja and the Sand Ninja are fighting. The Country of Fire is located in the west of the Kingdom of Water, and is not within the war zone between Konoha and the Mist Ninja.
It's obvious that the three of Akai came with some kind of mission, and judging from their current leisurely attitude, either they have completed the mission, or this mission seems so simple that they simply don't want to do it. Didn't take it to heart.
Of course, Dong didn't care what their mission was. What he cared about was, if he followed Akai and the others this time, would he encounter the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?
According to the original plot, Akai's genin team will be lucky enough to encounter the current second-generation ninja group - the Seven Ninja Swordsmen - during a certain mission.
Although it is a bit cruel, it is indeed an honor that can only be obtained by strong people at the Kage level. Even strictly speaking, in the current ninja world, except for the Mangekyou Sharingan, Flying Thunder God Jutsu and Eight Gate Dungeon, there are only a few other ninjas. In addition to the masters of the technique, a luxurious lineup composed of seven elite jounin with their own characteristics is enough to complete the siege of any "shadow".
However, what is dramatic is that in the first full-scale action of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen since their establishment, they were honored to witness the ultimate debut of mortals - the Eight Door Dungeon Formation - for the first time in the ninja world.
Then... they officially changed their name to "The Three Ninja Swordsmen".
There is no doubt that Matt Dai is the undisputed protagonist in this plot, but Dong's interest in him is just to be a witness to the burning youth. On the contrary, "if you follow Akai, you can meet Ninja." This makes Dong even more enthusiastic.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Dong is not enthusiastic about Bamen Dunjia, but he also knows that from various indications, Bamen Dunjia is one of those types of "hard work may not necessarily reward you, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely get it." "Without the ability to achieve results", each person's talent may determine the distance he travels on this road, but it will hardly affect the speed of progress. What's more, there is one thing that cannot be avoided - that is, high-intensity exercise day and night, perseverance.
Obviously, this approach is incompatible with Dong's existing system, and its shortcomings such as slow effectiveness, single effect, and huge side effects cannot be ignored. After all these considerations, Dong does not covet Bamen Dunjia too much.
Of course, if there is a chance to get the Eight Gate Dunjia training method, Dong will definitely not give up. Even if he can only use it to expand his skill slot, it is also very tempting to use it to train his subordinates.
If nothing else, just like what was written in many novels in the previous life, "Conquering Kimimaro and letting him practice the Eight Door Dungeon" is a very good choice.
However, that is a story for another day. One thing to say is that Dong has prepared too many back-up moves, which is not enough for such an idle chess game with an unknown success rate. The top priority is still to find Kurisan Kushimaru and Tongcao Yaito.
The right way is to end enemies, resolve knots in your heart, return home, and understand the power of nature as soon as possible.
Compared to controlling the sage mode, even handing over Nagato in advance can be delayed later, let alone other things.
However, as Dong becomes more active, the development of history has inevitably deviated from its original trajectory. After Dong kills Black Hoe Leiya, whether Akai and the others can meet the Six Ninja Swordsmen has become a question. It’s unknown, and even if the red steam erupts again, who knows when it will happen?
After all, it was just an unexpected encounter.
It is unrealistic to follow Akai all the time, but it is feasible to "ask" him about his next movements to further plan the trip.
'Next, just wait until you reach a place with few people, and then you can take action...'
Dong pretended to browse the scenery while thinking about it. When he reached a stall selling handicrafts, he naturally stopped and carefully selected the products.
After a few seconds, Ebisu in front took advantage of the opportunity to turn around, and with the cover of his sunglasses, he quickly looked behind him.
Dong was looking at a small wooden sculpture in his hand at this time, but he could feel that a gaze stayed on him for a few seconds. It was obvious that this was Ebisu after seeing his outfit of tight clothes and katana. His gaze paused for a moment.
This feeling only lasted a few seconds and disappeared quickly, but Dong didn't seem to notice it at all. Not only did he not look at Akai and the others, he didn't even look sideways. He continued to pick out those exquisite handicrafts. Chat with the boss from time to time, just like a real tourist.
"Shou, is everything okay?" After Ebisu turned his head, Shiranui Genma leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"At the moment, everything is normal, but there is one person who needs attention."
"Which person?" Shiranui Genma heard this and, under the pretense of turning his head to speak, he glanced back and saw Dong in white at a glance, "The one with the knife?"
"That's him." Ebisu nodded slightly, "No special ninja equipment such as a forehead protector was found on his body, and I didn't sense any chakra fluctuations, but his clothes looked like some kind of ninja uniform. It’s just that I’ve never seen this style.”
"That's it..." Shiranui Genma closed his eyes and concentrated on using his shallow perception ability to sense Dong's chakra.
Dong's chakra control was extremely high, and the chakra he emitted was already very thin. In addition, there was a distance between the two parties. By the time the chakra emitted by Dong Yi floated near the trio, it had already been diluted to almost nothing.
Shiranui Genma's perception ability is only ordinary, and he cannot make too detailed observations. After sensing for a few seconds without any gains, he opened his eyes and said: "There is indeed no other fluctuation of chakra nearby. It seems that he is just He's just a samurai, and as for his clothes... it might just be a coincidence."
After thinking about it, Shiranui Genma joked again: "Maybe he saw that ninja uniforms are particularly cool, so he designed such a set of clothes himself."
Ebisu nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, I think so too. I heard in the village that there are people outside who pretend to be ninjas. Maybe this person is that kind of person!"
The two Shiranui Genma were talking lively here, but they left Akai next to them in the cold.
There is a rule among ninjas that you must always be vigilant during a mission, and you must not act recklessly or make suspicious actions when the situation is unknown.
Although Akai is a famous loser, growing up in this chaotic era, he certainly cannot understand everything like the Twelve Strong in the future. If nothing else, at least he has the ninja code in mind.
Therefore, when Shiranui Genma and the two were inquiring about information, Akai knew better than to get involved. Instead, he always adhered to the disguise of a "playing boy" in order to reduce the suspicion of possible enemies.
However, the Ninja Code also states that when a ninja is acting, if it is found that there is no danger nearby, the ninja can also relax its vigilance appropriately to relieve mental stress.
After seeing the relaxed atmosphere between the two teammates, Akai knew that the alarm was temporarily lifted, so he finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, stared at his big round eyes and asked: "Hey, are you talking about Who is it, Xuanjian, let me see it too?"
Seeing those thick eyebrows and big eyes getting closer and closer, I don't know how Huo Xuanjian could stand this scene, and said quickly: "Stop, stop, stop, don't come over, just look if you want, but don't stare directly. You are looking at others, but they are not familiar with you. If you make them look bad and cause trouble...
Hello!Did you hear that! "
Shiranui Genma was reminding Akai, but he found that after getting his permission, Akai turned around and looked in the direction of Dong, completely ignoring the second half of his sentence. He was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to He pulled her over, but as soon as he put his hand on Akai's shoulder, his movements stopped.
Because he saw the seriousness on Akai's face.
"Akai...Akai?" Shiranui Genma yelled twice but Akai didn't come back to his senses. He was troubled in his heart and followed Akai's gaze.
He saw that Dong was still picking the goods at this time. It was not until a few seconds later that Dong put down the things in his hands. Then he seemed to be aware of it and looked over with "a look of confusion" on his face. He was facing the two of them. Caught up.
'He's quite handsome. '
This was Shiranui Genma's first impression. Taking a closer look, he found that there was nothing special about the man in front of him except that he was a little handsome. There was no cold hostility, no biting murderous intent, and there was nothing mysterious or deep. breath.
This is just an ordinary innocent passerby.
After once again being convinced of his decision, Shiranui Genma poked Akai to bring him back to his senses. Then he tilted his head and motioned for Akai to turn back with him.
When he turned around, through the corner of his eye, Shiranui Genma saw Dong's confused expression, and saw Dong continue to lower his head to select goods, but he did not see the corner of Dong's mouth that was twitching on the half of his face that was blocked.
'Interesting, the flaw was actually discovered by Akai, a low-level person. Akai probably doesn't have any special perception ability, so he probably can see my physical skills from every move I make.
Well, I didn't pay much attention to this before. I need to improve it more in the future...'
Not to mention that Fuyu was there to reflect and correct himself, Shiranui Genma turned around, first looked at each other with his teammates, and signaled everyone to be vigilant and move forward as if nothing had happened, and then asked in a low voice.
"Akai, did you find anything wrong with that person?"
"Huh?" Akai was stunned for a moment, "Is there nothing wrong?"
Shiranui Genma's steps stalled and he almost fell down. He roared angrily in a low voice: "Then why are you looking at him with that look?"
In fact, Akai's answer was in line with Shiranui Genma's prediction, but he just wanted to scold Akai for an excuse to prevent Akai from scaring people with such surprises again.
Seeing that his teammates were angry, Akai smiled and said: "Well, I just thought that person should be quite strong in physical skills, so I couldn't help but observe it."
"Oh? Really?" Ebisu joked in order to lighten the atmosphere, "Then, Mr. Taijutsu Master, how strong is that person? Is he stronger than a Jonin?"
Hearing the ridicule from his teammates, Akai didn't take it seriously, not just because he had heard many taunts even worse than this in the past, not just because he knew his teammates' words were not malicious, but also because he really didn't want to at this time. joke.
Akai Surong said seriously: "How strong he is, I can only know for sure after fighting him, but from his movements, I found that his body is calm and his actions are powerful, and although his posture is loose, he is He is always ready to fight. If something unexpected happens, I guarantee that he can draw his sword and fight as soon as possible."
Shiranui Genma and Ebisu looked at each other in surprise. At first, they thought it was Kai who was joking, but they didn't expect that he was serious.
I have to admit that in terms of physical skills, Akai is the authority of their team. After knowing that Akai was not teasing them, Shiranui Genma also began to think about the information provided by Akai.
As time passed, the trio gradually drifted away, and after a while, Dong was out of their sight. Only then did Shiranui Genma express his inference.
"If what Akai said is correct, then this person has two possibilities, either he is a samurai master who does not practice chakra, or he is an extremely powerful ninja.
No matter which situation it is, it is not good for our mission. This is something we did not estimate in the plan we made before. It is very likely that there will be complications and unexpected changes.
Ah Kai, Ah Shou, let's choose our next course of action now.
There are two ways before us now, either to make a quick decision and quickly rush into the target's home to kill him based on the intelligence we gathered before, or to gather intelligence again and make a careful plan before launching the operation.
I personally prefer the first option, what do you think? "
Akai and Ebisu looked at each other and expressed their opinions:
"I have no opinion."
"I also agree with the first option."
"Good, so we're on the same page.
Ah Shou, that person didn't catch up. "
Ebisu quietly observed the rear again and said, "No."
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now."
Following Shiranui Genma's order, the trio quickened their pace. They found a quiet and dark alley at random, and turned in. Looking at the anxious steps and solemn expressions, they inevitably reminded people of crotch. It's just that a street vendor next to him was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
The vendor has been setting up stalls in this place for several years. He has seen people running to the toilet in this dead-end street, but it is rare to see three people go to the toilet in a group.
He maliciously guessed that these three teenagers had eaten someone's dead cat, rotten dog, rat meat on kebabs?Or ate another person’s grilled calamari with preservatives?
But as time passed, the three teenagers still did not come out of the alley. Not only that, there was not even the slightest strange smell or sound coming from the not-deep alley.
Slowly, the vendor's mentality gradually changed, from watching the fun without having anything to do to becoming uneasy and uneasy, because he could not help but recall the strange legend circulating in this port city - a story about the revenge of ghosts. The same old story.
Just when the vendor was hesitating whether to go to the alley that was like a huge mouth of an abyss to find out what was going on or to close the stall early and stay away, a samurai boy in white clothes held a certain "fine" barbecue in one hand and a certain "pure natural" barbecue in the other. Squid walked over slowly.
I saw him slowly eating the special snacks in his hands while walking to the entrance of the alley, and then turned in without any hesitation.
"Hey, wait..."
The vendor subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was a step too slow and watched helplessly as the handsome young man disappeared into the darkness.
Perhaps because of his kindness, or perhaps because the young man took the initiative to test the situation, the vendor abandoned his stall and ran to the mysterious alley intersection.
He stretched his head and looked inside, but he didn't want the hair on his head to stand up and his whole body to be cold.
The alley was dimly lit and covered with moss. There were clumps of grass growing in the corners where people often poured fertilizer.
No matter how you look at it, this is just a common quiet alley.
However, the most terrifying thing is here, because there is not a soul here!
The scorching sun at noon in early autumn shone on the street vendor, but he only felt a chill all over his body. The shadows in the alley were easily accessible, but the boundary between light and shadow seemed to be a barrier between reality and illusion, making the street vendor dare not act arrogantly. Step into the world of cold and darkness.
Finally, the street vendor once again recalled the horror of being dominated by various ghost stories as a child.
The vendor swallowed hard to slow down the trembling in his heart and liver. Then, he moved. He opened his legs, but stepped back instead of forward. He walked back a few steps, and then panicked. He turned around and ran back to his stall, and hurriedly began to close the stall, as if there was some great terror driving him behind him.
It was only then that another nearby stall noticed something unusual about him. The man asked curiously: "Hey, what are you doing! Closing the stall so early, is it possible that your wife has given birth to another child?"
"What a mess, let me tell you, there is a ghost in that alley!"
"Hahahaha," the man laughed heartily, "I said, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"
"I'm not lying to you. Didn't you see it just now? Several people walked into the dead end, but no one came out at all. I just went to check and there was not a single person in the alley. What else could it be if it wasn't haunted! "
"Has someone gone in? Someone was buying something just now, but I didn't notice it. Could it be that you are dazzled?"
"I..." The vendor wanted to defend himself, but he had already packed his things. He didn't want to stay here for another second, so he put the package on his back and said, "Your love letter." If you don’t believe me, I’ll never come here again." Then he ran away without looking back.
It can be predicted that after the vendors return, they will spread the news about today's ghost encounter, adding another rumor and a touch of weirdness to this mixed port city.
In the extraordinary world, the scaly claws inadvertently left behind by extraordinary people are often misunderstood by mortals. This is also the source of most legends of gods and ghosts. But then again, in the eyes of ordinary people, one's own world has always been " "Ordinary"!
Ahem, digressed, let’s get down to business.
After seeing the vendor's back becoming increasingly blurry, the other person realized that this guy was probably being serious.
Recalling the good character of this man, and thinking about the mysterious disappearances of people in this city every year, this man couldn't help but retreat.
Just when the man was restless, a loud alarm bell finally made him decide to go home.
He heard that this was the alarm bell at the home of the most powerful man in the city. This bell rarely appeared, but when it did it was a big deal.
The last time this bell rang was a year ago. I heard that it was a funeral bell because the lord's father accidentally choked on a date and rolled down the stairs to his death. After that, it was the lord's son Cheng's father. industry, completing the replacement of the city's highest power.
The last ringing of the bell changed the high-level structure of the entire city, but I don't know what will happen this time - it can't be that this city is going to change its owner again, right?
For some reason, this man suddenly remembered the ghost encounter he had just heard.
Could it be that these two things are related?
This man thought so, but then he laughed at himself: What are you thinking about!How could these two unrelated things be related?However, today is indeed an unlucky day, so let’s close the stall early!
Following the vendor, this man also started to pack up. As a small person struggling at the bottom, he maliciously orchestrated the fate of the adult with a bad reputation with the mentality of watching the excitement, but he never expected it. , the groundless speculation that he denied was the truth of the matter.
……
On the highest low slope in the city, there is one of the most luxurious residential areas in the city, with bluestone pavements, precious wood pavilions, majestic houses, and meticulously crafted gardens, which are luxurious yet solemn, simple yet elegant. It is rich in connotation and fully demonstrates the power and heritage of the owner here.
But today, the residence of the most prominent person in the city has lost its former solemnity and solemnity.
The flow of people here is mixed, it is difficult to distinguish masters from servants, and the noise is loud. After losing the protection of majesty, this place is no different from the vegetable market where traders and lackeys gather.
Among these people, there are some who are sad, some who are angry, some who are panicked, some who are frightened, and those who are happy account for the majority, and the cause of all this chaos is one thing—— The man who controlled the entire city died. He, who was always clean, was stabbed through the throat while going to the open toilet in the garden. His death was extremely miserable.
After the death of the uncrowned king of the city was discovered, the chaos lasted for a long time. Everyone who had lost their backbone insisted on their own opinions but took no real action. It was not until a man who looked exactly like the deceased hurried over that the commotion was temporarily quelled. , under his leadership, people began to deal with the funeral affairs in an orderly manner, such as collecting the corpses, such as... tracking down the real murderer.
As the saying goes: things get easier when there are more people.
But without strong command, if there are too many people, it will become bloated and the efficiency will be low or even lower than that of ordinary people.
What's more, their enemies this time are not "ordinary people".
When the largest private army in the city started running around like headless chickens, the initiator of the riot had long since fled.
On the straight line between the mansion and the port, the three protagonists who caused the commotion were climbing and running covertly yet swiftly. They moved like the wind and moved in a well-organized manner, and even had a relaxed look on their faces. His expression made him look like a seasoned professional.
They moved quietly and quickly towards the port. As they gradually approached the port, there were more and more people. After finding it difficult to remain hidden, they stopped in an empty space and prepared to pretend to be ordinary people. port and then leave here by boat.
Answer: Just take a shortcut where no one is around.
Maybe someone said: Bullshit, is there any quick and convenient shortcut in this world?If there were, wouldn't everyone take it, so what kind of shortcut would that be?
Getting something for nothing is ultimately a delusion. This seems to be a universally recognized truth. However, in fact, there are shortcuts to deal with many things.The reason why people turn a blind eye is because most people will subconsciously ignore it due to lack of ability, while those who can do it often know it well but keep it secret.
In winter, we are walking on a shortcut at this time.
On the rolling eaves, a white shadow passed over the hard and brittle tiles without making a sound.People on the ground who occasionally caught a glimpse between the houses just thought it was because they were dazzled by something or something passing by without any suspicion.

As for the other two people, one is very social and wears sunglasses, and the other is arrogant and holds a thousand books in his mouth. They are Kai's teammates during the genin period - Ebisu and Shiranui Genma.
This island is located in the east of the Kingdom of Water, in the area where the Mist Ninja and the Sand Ninja are fighting. The Country of Fire is located in the west of the Kingdom of Water, and is not within the war zone between Konoha and the Mist Ninja.

It’s unknown, and even if the red steam erupts again, who knows when it will happen?
After all, it was just an unexpected encounter.
It is unrealistic to follow Akai all the time, but it is feasible to "ask" him about his next movements to further plan the trip.
'Next, just wait until you reach a place with few people, and then you can take action...'
Dong pretended to browse the scenery while thinking about it. When he reached a stall selling handicrafts, he naturally stopped and carefully selected the products.
After a few seconds, Ebisu in front took advantage of the opportunity to turn around, and with the cover of his sunglasses, he quickly looked behind him.
Dong was looking at a small wooden sculpture in his hand at this time, but he could feel that a gaze stayed on him for a few seconds. It was obvious that this was Ebisu after seeing his outfit of tight clothes and katana. His gaze paused for a moment.
This feeling only lasted a few seconds and disappeared quickly, but Dong didn't seem to notice it at all. Not only did he not look at Akai and the others, he didn't even look sideways. He continued to pick out those exquisite handicrafts. Chat with the boss from time to time, just like a real tourist.
"Shou, is everything okay?" After Ebisu turned his head, Shiranui Genma leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"At the moment, everything is normal, but there is one person who needs attention."
"Which person?" Shiranui Genma heard this and, under the pretense of turning his head to speak, he glanced back and saw Dong in white at a glance, "The one with the knife?"
"That's him." Ebisu nodded slightly, "No special ninja equipment such as a forehead protector was found on his body, and I didn't sense any chakra fluctuations, but his clothes looked like some kind of ninja uniform. It’s just that I’ve never seen this style.”
"That's it..." Shiranui Genma closed his eyes and concentrated on using his shallow perception ability to sense Dong's chakra.
Dong's chakra control was extremely high, and the chakra he emitted was already very thin. In addition, there was a distance between the two parties. By the time the chakra emitted by Dong Yi floated near the trio, it had already been diluted to almost nothing.
Shiranui Genma's perception ability is only ordinary, and he cannot make too detailed observations. After sensing for a few seconds without any gains, he opened his eyes and said: "There is indeed no other fluctuation of chakra nearby. It seems that he is just He's just a samurai, and as for his clothes... it might just be a coincidence."
After thinking about it, Shiranui Genma joked again: "Maybe he saw that ninja uniforms are particularly cool, so he designed such a set of clothes himself."
Ebisu nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, I think so too. I heard in the village that there are people outside who pretend to be ninjas. Maybe this person is that kind of person!"
The two Shiranui Genma were talking lively here, but they left Akai next to them in the cold.
There is a rule among ninjas that you must always be vigilant during a mission, and you must not act recklessly or make suspicious actions when the situation is unknown.
Although Akai is a famous loser, growing up in this chaotic era, he certainly cannot understand everything like the Twelve Strong in the future. If nothing else, at least he has the ninja code in mind.
Therefore, when Shiranui Genma and the two were inquiring about information, Akai knew better than to get involved. Instead, he always adhered to the disguise of a "playing boy" in order to reduce the suspicion of possible enemies.
However, the Ninja Code also states that when a ninja is acting, if it is found that there is no danger nearby, the ninja can also relax its vigilance appropriately to relieve mental stress.
After seeing the relaxed atmosphere between the two teammates, Akai knew that the alarm was temporarily lifted, so he finally couldn't restrain his curiosity, stared at his big round eyes and asked: "Hey, are you talking about Who is it, Xuanjian, let me see it too?"
Seeing those thick eyebrows and big eyes getting closer and closer, I don't know how Huo Xuanjian could stand this scene, and said quickly: "Stop, stop, stop, don't come over, just look if you want, but don't stare directly. You are looking at others, but they are not familiar with you. If you make them look bad and cause trouble...
Hello!Did you hear that! "
Shiranui Genma was reminding Akai, but he found that after getting his permission, Akai turned around and looked in the direction of Dong, completely ignoring the second half of his sentence. He was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to He pulled her over, but as soon as he put his hand on Akai's shoulder, his movements stopped.
Because he saw the seriousness on Akai's face.
"Akai...Akai?" Shiranui Genma yelled twice but Akai didn't come back to his senses. He was troubled in his heart and followed Akai's gaze.
He saw that Dong was still picking the goods at this time. It was not until a few seconds later that Dong put down the things in his hands. Then he seemed to be aware of it and looked over with "a look of confusion" on his face. He was facing the two of them. Caught up.
'He's quite handsome. '
This was Shiranui Genma's first impression. Taking a closer look, he found that there was nothing special about the man in front of him except that he was a little handsome. There was no cold hostility, no biting murderous intent, and there was nothing mysterious or deep. breath.
This is just an ordinary innocent passerby.
After once again being convinced of his decision, Shiranui Genma poked Akai to bring him back to his senses. Then he tilted his head and motioned for Akai to turn back with him.
When he turned around, through the corner of his eye, Shiranui Genma saw Dong's confused expression, and saw Dong continue to lower his head to select goods, but he did not see the corner of Dong's mouth that was twitching on the half of his face that was blocked.
'Interesting, the flaw was actually discovered by Akai, a low-level person. Akai probably doesn't have any special perception ability, so he probably can see my physical skills from every move I make.
Well, I didn't pay much attention to this before. I need to improve it more in the future...'
Not to mention that Fuyu was there to reflect and correct himself, Shiranui Genma turned around, first looked at each other with his teammates, and signaled everyone to be vigilant and move forward as if nothing had happened, and then asked in a low voice.
"Akai, did you find anything wrong with that person?"
"Huh?" Akai was stunned for a moment, "Is there nothing wrong?"
Shiranui Genma's steps stalled and he almost fell down. He roared angrily in a low voice: "Then why are you looking at him with that look?"
In fact, Akai's answer was in line with Shiranui Genma's prediction, but he just wanted to scold Akai for an excuse to prevent Akai from scaring people with such surprises again.
Seeing that his teammates were angry, Akai smiled and said: "Well, I just thought that person should be quite strong in physical skills, so I couldn't help but observe it."
"Oh? Really?" Ebisu joked in order to lighten the atmosphere, "Then, Mr. Taijutsu Master, how strong is that person? Is he stronger than a Jonin?"
Hearing the ridicule from his teammates, Akai didn't take it seriously, not just because he had heard many taunts even worse than this in the past, not just because he knew his teammates' words were not malicious, but also because he really didn't want to at this time. joke.
Akai Surong said seriously: "How strong he is, I can only know for sure after fighting him, but from his movements, I found that his body is calm and his actions are powerful, and although his posture is loose, he is He is always ready to fight. If something unexpected happens, I guarantee that he can draw his sword and fight as soon as possible."
Shiranui Genma and Ebisu looked at each other in surprise. At first, they thought it was Kai who was joking, but they didn't expect that he was serious.
I have to admit that in terms of physical skills, Akai is the authority of their team. After knowing that Akai was not teasing them, Shiranui Genma also began to think about the information provided by Akai.
As time passed, the trio gradually drifted away, and after a while, Dong was out of their sight. Only then did Shiranui Genma express his inference.
"If what Akai said is correct, then this person has two possibilities, either he is a samurai master who does not practice chakra, or he is an extremely powerful ninja.
No matter which situation it is, it is not good for our mission. This is something we did not estimate in the plan we made before. It is very likely that there will be complications and unexpected changes.
Ah Kai, Ah Shou, let's choose our next course of action now.
There are two ways before us now, either to make a quick decision and quickly rush into the target's home to kill him based on the intelligence we gathered before, or to gather intelligence again and make a careful plan before launching the operation.
I personally prefer the first option, what do you think? "
Akai and Ebisu looked at each other and expressed their opinions:
"I have no opinion."
"I also agree with the first option."
"Good, so we're on the same page.
Ah Shou, that person didn't catch up. "
Ebisu quietly observed the rear again and said, "No."
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now."
Following Shiranui Genma's order, the trio quickened their pace. They found a quiet and dark alley at random, and turned in. Looking at the anxious steps and solemn expressions, they inevitably reminded people of crotch. It's just that a street vendor next to him was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
The vendor has been setting up stalls in this place for several years. He has seen people running to the toilet in this dead-end street, but it is rare to see three people go to the toilet in a group.
He maliciously guessed that these three teenagers had eaten someone's dead cat, rotten dog, rat meat on kebabs?Or ate another person’s grilled calamari with preservatives?
But as time passed, the three teenagers still did not come out of the alley. Not only that, there was not even the slightest strange smell or sound coming from the not-deep alley.
Slowly, the vendor's mentality gradually changed, from watching the fun without having anything to do to becoming uneasy and uneasy, because he could not help but recall the strange legend circulating in this port city - a story about the revenge of ghosts. The same old story.
Just when the vendor was hesitating whether to go to the alley that was like a huge mouth of an abyss to find out what was going on or to close the stall early and stay away, a samurai boy in white clothes held a certain "fine" barbecue in one hand and a certain "pure natural" barbecue in the other. Squid walked over slowly.
I saw him slowly eating the special snacks in his hands while walking to the entrance of the alley, and then turned in without any hesitation.
"Hey, wait..."
The vendor subconsciously wanted to stop him, but was a step too slow and watched helplessly as the handsome young man disappeared into the darkness.
Perhaps because of his kindness, or perhaps because the young man took the initiative to test the situation, the vendor abandoned his stall and ran to the mysterious alley intersection.
He stretched his head and looked inside, but he didn't want the hair on his head to stand up and his whole body to be cold.
The alley was dimly lit and covered with moss. There were clumps of grass growing in the corners where people often poured fertilizer.
No matter how you look at it, this is just a common quiet alley.
However, the most terrifying thing is here, because there is not a soul here!
The scorching sun at noon in early autumn shone on the street vendor, but he only felt a chill all over his body. The shadows in the alley were easily accessible, but the boundary between light and shadow seemed to be a barrier between reality and illusion, making the street vendor dare not act arrogantly. Step into the world of cold and darkness.
Finally, the street vendor once again recalled the horror of being dominated by various ghost stories as a child.
The vendor swallowed hard to slow down the trembling in his heart and liver. Then, he moved. He opened his legs, but stepped back instead of forward. He walked back a few steps, and then panicked. He turned around and ran back to his stall, and hurriedly began to close the stall, as if there was some great terror driving him behind him.
It was only then that another nearby stall noticed something unusual about him. The man asked curiously: "Hey, what are you doing! Closing the stall so early, is it possible that your wife has given birth to another child?"
"What a mess, let me tell you, there is a ghost in that alley!"
"Hahahaha," the man laughed heartily, "I said, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"
"I'm not lying to you. Didn't you see it just now? Several people walked into the dead end, but no one came out at all. I just went to check and there was not a single person in the alley. What else could it be if it wasn't haunted! "
"Has someone gone in? Someone was buying something just now, but I didn't notice it. Could it be that you are dazzled?"
"I..." The vendor wanted to defend himself, but he had already packed his things. He didn't want to stay here for another second, so he put the package on his back and said, "Your love letter." If you don’t believe me, I’ll never come here again." Then he ran away without looking back.
It can be predicted that after the vendors return, they will spread the news about today's ghost encounter, adding another rumor and a touch of weirdness to this mixed port city.
In the extraordinary world, the scaly claws inadvertently left behind by extraordinary people are often misunderstood by mortals. This is also the source of most legends of gods and ghosts. But then again, in the eyes of ordinary people, one's own world has always been " "Ordinary"!
Ahem, digressed, let’s get down to business.
After seeing the vendor's back becoming increasingly blurry, the other person realized that this guy was probably being serious.
Recalling the good character of this man, and thinking about the mysterious disappearances of people in this city every year, this man couldn't help but retreat.
Just when the man was restless, a loud alarm bell finally made him decide to go home.
He heard that this was the alarm bell at the home of the most powerful man in the city. This bell rarely appeared, but when it did it was a big deal.
The last time this bell rang was a year ago. I heard that it was a funeral bell because the lord's father accidentally choked on a date and rolled down the stairs to his death. After that, it was the lord's son Cheng's father. industry, completing the replacement of the city's highest power.
The last ringing of the bell changed the high-level structure of the entire city, but I don't know what will happen this time - it can't be that this city is going to change its owner again, right?
For some reason, this man suddenly remembered the ghost encounter he had just heard.
Could it be that these two things are related?
This man thought so, but then he laughed at himself: What are you thinking about!How could these two unrelated things be related?However, today is indeed an unlucky day, so let’s close the stall early!
Following the vendor, this man also started to pack up. As a small person struggling at the bottom, he maliciously orchestrated the fate of the adult with a bad reputation with the mentality of watching the excitement, but he never expected it. , the groundless speculation that he denied was the truth of the matter.
……
On the highest low slope in the city, there is one of the most luxurious residential areas in the city, with bluestone pavements, precious wood pavilions, majestic houses, and meticulously crafted gardens, which are luxurious yet solemn, simple yet elegant. It is rich in connotation and fully demonstrates the power and heritage of the owner here.
But today, the residence of the most prominent person in the city has lost its former solemnity and solemnity.
The flow of people here is mixed, it is difficult to distinguish masters from servants, and the noise is loud. After losing the protection of majesty, this place is no different from the vegetable market where traders and lackeys gather.
Among these people, there are some who are sad, some who are angry, some who are panicked, some who are frightened, and those who are happy account for the majority, and the cause of all this chaos is one thing—— The man who controlled the entire city died. He, who was always clean, was stabbed through the throat while going to the open toilet in the garden. His death was extremely miserable.
After the death of the uncrowned king of the city was discovered, the chaos lasted for a long time. Everyone who had lost their backbone insisted on their own opinions but took no real action. It was not until a man who looked exactly like the deceased hurried over that the commotion was temporarily quelled. , under his leadership, people began to deal with the funeral affairs in an orderly manner, such as collecting the corpses, such as... tracking down the real murderer.
As the saying goes: things get easier when there are more people.
But without strong command, if there are too many people, it will become bloated and the efficiency will be low or even lower than that of ordinary people.
What's more, their enemies this time are not "ordinary people".
When the largest private army in the city started running around like headless chickens, the initiator of the riot had long since fled.
On the straight line between the mansion and the port, the three protagonists who caused the commotion were climbing and running covertly yet swiftly. They moved like the wind and moved in a well-organized manner, and even had a relaxed look on their faces. His expression made him look like a seasoned professional.
They moved quietly and quickly towards the port. As they gradually approached the port, there were more and more people. After finding it difficult to remain hidden, they stopped in an empty space and prepared to pretend to be ordinary people. port and then leave here by boat.
