Our ambitions boiled over in an instant.

Yours, mine, his...are all over this world, colliding with each other and producing incredible chemical reactions.

Tobirama didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Danzo come here.

But whether Danzo comes or not, the consequences are within Tobirama's tolerance.

The village chief had just finished speaking when Neji made the suggestion.

The old man spoke very slowly, and it felt like he was lip-syncing - he just opened his mouth, but the sound came from his abdomen.

From the outbreak of the plague in the village to the arrival of Tobirama and Neji for support, in just over a month, the old man spoke for nearly three hours.

Repeat...Repeat...

Repeating again and again, making people impatient to repeat...

Tobirama had already heard what his subordinates had reported, and heard the old man repeat it over and over again.

It may sound absurd to say it, but it is the truth.

Even with the presence of a negotiation expert like Tobirama, no new intelligence was obtained in these three hours.

Outbreak time - exactly the same as in the report.

The cause of the outbreak was glossed over by the old man as unclear.

Then there is the question of bamboo - every time he opens his mouth he gives answers that are totally irrelevant.

"All the wooden planks in the village were used to make coffins, so the only thing left was bamboo to make walking sticks."

Even if Neji and Tobirama's questions were: When did the bamboo grow, or what kind of bamboo it was, the old man would only mechanically reply with this sentence.

"It's getting late, Tobirama-sama, Nora-sama, you two should go to bed early."

Just as the sun set, the village chief stood up, tapping his cane.

He started walking again, as if to take Tobirama and Neji to the arranged accommodation.

Neji shook his sleeves and deliberately slowed down his pace.

Tobirama noticed something and after taking a few steps, he slowed down like Neji.

"Do not bother."

"Resources in the village are scarce, so we can just make do outside."

It was a village where a plague had broken out, so there was no reason for the messenger to stay overnight.

What's more, there is definitely something wrong with this village and this plague.

There was no way the village chief hadn't noticed the two men slowing down their pace.

But instead he quickened his pace and nodded perfunctorily to show his agreement, but was unwilling to turn around and face Tobirama and Neji.

The two looked at the old man in front of them. He was facing the village and was surrounded by mountains.

The shadow of the village chief was pointing in the direction of the village.

The shadow became longer and longer, and the color of the tip became lighter and lighter.

The half-moon emerged from the clouds and hung in the sky behind Tobirama and Neji.

"Village Chief...There are some things outside the village."

"Hyōryōmaru, kunai..."

"If you don't mind, please accept it."

Ningji stood where he was, staring at the village chief with his white eyes motionlessly - there was nothing outside the village, it could only be an ambush by the Anbu at most.

"It's already very late. Even if it's Master Tobirama..."

"The village is in a remote area. There are bound to be wild beasts outside at night. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to get it!"

The village chief was talking but he didn't stop at all.

He had previously tacitly allowed Tobirama and Neji to stay outside the village. According to human thinking, he naturally affirmed their ability to survive outside the village.

But when Ningji suggested going together, the village chief refused.

Still the same reason.

The village chief is anxious.

It is not so much that the village chief is anxious, but rather the people behind the village chief are anxious.

Who is doing this?

Is this some kind of ninjutsu? Or is it a secret technique like the Aburame family using some kind of medium to accomplish this?

Ningji had no way of knowing, he just stood there and watched the village chief walk away.

On the first day when the support arrived at the village, as the village chief, the first thing he thought about was not the survival of the villagers, but how to settle Tobirama - but how to deal with Tobirama.

The moonlight, with its cold white color, licks the creatures under the moonlight.

The men, women, young and old in the village, as if obeying some kind of call, slowly moved towards the houses at the moment the sun set and the moon appeared.

Why the moon? Why inside the house?

Neji remembered the secret technique of Kakuzu, a former member of Akatsuki.

Let the dead crawl out from their resting place in the earth, and fight again with their gray skin and broken bodies.

Different from the Impure World Reincarnation, it is also an extremely cruel and evil technique.

"Tobirama."

"Let's go."

Neji turned towards the moon, a different direction from when he came.

He rolled up his sleeves and hid his fingers in the wide cuffs.

Roll your eyes!

Under the cloth strips, blue veins were coiled around the boy's eyes, occupying the area around his eyes.

But if the light comes from outside the cloth, you can only see a calm surface, but cannot see the undercurrents.

"what..."

It was natural for Tobirama to know what Neji was thinking just by looking at his movements.

He took a step forward and followed the boy.

To be honest, this feeling is not bad.

Regardless of whether others think the Second Hokage is a bit unpromising, Tobirama himself thinks he is good.

It consists of short pronunciations and concise sentences.

This is not Tobirama-sama, there are no complicated and cumbersome honorifics.

This is the privilege of those who are close to you and is an unconscious choice made by the other person.

That's great, isn't it?

There are obviously countless things that need to be investigated and dealt with.

The fog in front of me was clearly only blown away a little.

But Tobirama was more relaxed than ever.

My scalp felt slightly tingling, and even the root of my tongue felt a bit of the happiness that came from adrenaline.

He quickened his pace and walked over to Neji.

The boy was nearly two heads shorter than him.

He was still the boy he was when they parted that day, but he had become the little girl's grandfather - and an irresponsible grandfather at that.

But in the moment of walking side by side, the moment of rubbing their arms, in the world, at this time, his luck or sorrow, all disappeared in the entanglement of clothes.

Everything will be solved.

Tobirama thought so.

Everything will get better.

Tobirama narrowed his eyes and stared at the moon.

Because he is here.

With Neji here - maybe one day, he will suddenly disappear again.

Perhaps after his sudden disappearance, the two of them would never meet again - separated by heaven and earth, by the Yin and Yang.

But so what? Now walking side by side is so real.

There is no doubt that it is happening.

"If possible, call Danzo over."

"If you want to go surveying, Akimichi Tofu can also do it."

At this moment, the moonlight swept across the ground and hung on the two people, one tall and one short.

"Send the ANBU over as well to provide support."

It was Tobirama who took over the conversation, and he continued along the same line of thought as Neji - he agreed to the boy's suggestion.

There is no such thing as a yes or no, just a straightforward default.

"Well, this is the best way."

The boy's fingers lingered on Tobirama's blue armor, and light blue chakra emerged from between his fingers and flung under the plush collar.

Hinata knows it, and Neji probably knows some of it too.

It’s just that everyone has their own expertise, and there is still some gap in proficiency.

However, this level of chakra line is a piece of cake for Hyuga's once-in-a-century genius, and he knows it like the back of his hand.

The chakra lines broke up the invisible object, and their number increased rapidly, probing Tobirama's entire body.

"Host, please don't take advantage of Tobirama..."

001 was disgusted. He had been silent for a long time. After being scolded by the host last time, 001 was unusually quiet.

Just seeing this scene, I couldn't help but speak again.

"The host didn't attack Tobirama during the last mission. Could it be that he had this plan in mind?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, host, you are really taking revenge on your own! No, that's not right, it's an abuse of power..."

“It doesn’t seem to be…”

001Habits are stupid.

But Neji didn't have time to pay attention to him. The chakra lines he released shook on Tobirama's body, but straightened up the next second.

The white-haired man watched the young man's body sway, then fall straight down.

The person who was talking to him just now fell down without any warning.

The boy's forehead was protected by the man's palm before it hit Tobirama's armor. Shaking, shouting, touching, the boy did not respond at all.

Tobirama suddenly thought of what the village chief had said about the symptoms of the plague.

"He suddenly fainted, then developed a cough and a high fever, and finally died of physical weakness."

Neji's chakra has not yet dissipated.

Tobirama's face turned pale and he uttered a few syllables: "Idiot."

What a madman.

But it makes people feel angry.

My mouth felt sour and my heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

His breathing was blocked in his chest, and Tobirama was supporting Neji's body. He did not have any plague-related reaction.

Not sick either.

But I felt like I was going to die soon.

The guess that Tobirama was most reluctant to be proven was confirmed at this moment.
