After getting rid of a large group of people, Qingyan finally took the time to inquire about the store that might store the required medicinal materials.

When you leave the crowd, you can run with the speed of a ninja.The wind in the southern country is warm and humid, which is completely different from Konoha. The whole village is like a herb garden. Although it is also an island country, the atmosphere of the country of craftsmanship is obviously different.

After running for a long distance, Qingyan couldn't help but feel melancholy. He didn't have pupil skills or a dog, so it was really troublesome to find a place.

Far away in Konoha, the guy who "has pupil skills and a dog" sneezed violently.

... Let's call one. Kakashi should be practicing ninjutsu in the village recently, so there shouldn't be any danger.

So……

"The art of psychic!"

Sure enough, Aquino is more familiar with it.

The corgi tilted its head: "Oh, it's Qing, what's the matter?"

"Please help me find a place."

Qingyan said concisely: "This is the first time I came here, it should be a drugstore."

After having the Ninja Dog to find the way, the efficiency has improved a lot. A group of people walked along the path and finally stopped in front of a remote courtyard.

This area is often visited by merchants from various countries, so there is always a demand for people to stay in this place. The demand stimulates the development of the industry, and these shops often provide accommodation—of course, you cannot expect the same service quality as a hotel.

Kiyohiko pushed open the door.

At this time, there was still a while before dinner, and when he opened the door, he was still thinking about whether he could have a meal here: "Excuse me, I'm a customer who came here to buy medicinal materials—"

"Qing Yan, be careful!"

Aquino knocked Qing Yan away with force, and then, Kunai almost flew out of his position just now.

Immediately after the second kunai was shot by Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki's pistol, Jiang Xue left the text horizontally in front of him, looking at the people in the room with a cold expression.

——Itachi Uchiha.

No one expected to encounter such a character in such a remote and uncharacteristic island.

"Mr. Itachi!"

The kid in the store was obviously familiar with Itachi, and ran out in a panic, only to find that Uchiha Itachi was the one who took the initiative to attack.At the door of the store stood a young man with the same hair color and eye color as him, and around the young man, there were several men of different heights, all posing as if they were facing a formidable enemy, holding the sword in their hands tightly.

"This, what is this..."

Immediately afterwards, the child was covered by his older brother and dragged back: "Be honest and don't talk!"

"... Uchiha Itachi."

Kiyohiko squeezed out the word with difficulty, and looked down at the ground from the corners of his eyes. On the contrary, the sword that was not afraid of illusion after a few vibrations was staring at Uchiha Itachi without hesitation.

"Uchiha Kiyohiko."

Itachi said calmly: "I didn't expect to see you here."

For a moment, Qingyan felt that some nameless fire was surging up in his soul, but this kind of anger disappeared without a trace before it entered his mind.

The sealed form in his brain is still functioning well - after being strengthened once by the Onmyoji, it is even more difficult to break, and the effect is outstanding.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

"My sword fears no illusion."

Qing Yan said: "So even if I face you this time, I still have the strength to fight."

Even if he couldn't kill the opponent——to Uchiha Itachi, of course he couldn't do nothing.

Itachi didn't move: "Ninjas are not welcome in the Crying Wolf. Only businessmen and...patients come here. Which one are you?"

There is no forehead protection on the body, it should be a businessman; there is a clan emblem on the clothes, and the name of the Uchiha clan has not been abandoned.Itachi suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad, but also relieved.He has done his homework on this person, and he is currently using inexplicable means to operate around the world. Compared with being a ninja family, he welcomes Uchiha's name to be printed on a wine bottle as an anti-counterfeiting label.

The boy who had been covering his mouth for a long time finally yelled: "Since his surname is also Uchiha, isn't it Mr. Itachi's relatives! Why do you have to—"

"Kina, shut up!"

When the elder brother scolded in a low voice.

at the same time.

It was as if even though Kiyohiko could bear it, his swords could no longer bear it.

"What a bastard, but he killed the parents of our God Judge!"

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki didn't even stop talking in dialect: "Master Kiyohiko has been having nightmares for months and nights, and has a particularly terrible high fever! Even so, he insisted on completing his work, and finally walked away step by step. At this position—why are you people who don’t know anything at this time accusing him!”

His gun pointed at Uchiha Itachi's forehead, his index finger rested on the trigger, trembling slightly: "Master Kiyohiko can't hate, so it's up to us! I've wanted to kill you for many years. From that day on, in this Honmaru Countless swords have tried to kill you for many years, Uchiha Itachi!"

Jiang Xue left the words without moving, but her fingers were already on the knife.

Yaken Toshiro lay in front of Kiyohiko, always on guard as a guardian blade.

This outburst left Keina, who originally thought Itachi was just an ordinary patient, speechless.

"Mr. Itachi..."

"Mutsu Mamoru."

Kiyohiko stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's shoulder, and shook his head.

He couldn't help but think of some past events from a long, long time ago.

At that time, someone said to him——

"You can't indulge in hatred. Now you don't have that right at all."

Doing great things requires calmness, and changing the world requires knowledge and strength.You need reliable and powerful subordinates, you need vast knowledge, you need the treasures accumulated by countless nations from generation to generation, and you need to forcibly carve out a path to heaven in a world where nothing but sorrow is left.

Danzang said that a person with roots must kill his own heart.

He is not a root, and he may not even be a very qualified Anbu.

A Uchiha's heart cannot be killed, so he entrusts others to close a door, and repeatedly buckles the shackles.

Purposeless, schemeless hatred itself implies vulnerability.He knows himself—he has average talent, and it is all because of good luck that he has made it to the present on the road of being a ninja. Teammates, he will die in the middle of the mission does not know how many times.

"But it doesn't matter. Only when people know their own weakness can they start from the starting point of weakness and keep moving forward."

Hatred will make people unable to see the truth, he knows that this world is intertwined with each other, what he needs to face is what is really standing behind Uchiha Itachi, and those things are attached to the bones and clinging to each other What's visible, invisible, and lingering -- that's what he needs to kill now.

Qing Yan took a deep breath, felt that those flames gradually solidified and disappeared in his heart, and were properly stored somewhere in his brain.

"—I'm a businessman."

He said, "Then it looks like you're a patient—your Sharingan should have gone wrong."

Itachi glanced at him in surprise, he was a spy who directly belonged to Konoha's top echelon, and a person of Kiyohiko's level should know nothing about him.

Did this guy deduce it by himself... How much did he already know?

"If you're just in a hurry to kill me, that's okay, I won't live long myself—it's just that I can't just die here."

"It will kill your parents one day," he said.

"Mr. Itachi!"

Keina couldn't help but let out a groan.

"I think so, the side effects of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan can't be completely suppressed even by the medicine I got from the monster, and the human medicine can only drink poison to quench thirst at best."

Qingyan's movements suddenly loosened, like a taut bow suddenly slipped out of his hand.

"Even if you use illusions on me, it's useless. My memory is sealed with a complicated formula, and you can't untie it. I want to ask, at that time, who was standing behind you?"

The index finger and middle finger of his left hand were bent at different angles, and a small circle was drawn with his right hand, and his thumb was folded into the palm.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes trembled slightly.

But his voice dropped.

"—I don't know what you mean. It seems that with your current strength, even if you run away with an ugly posture, you still still..."

"It's okay if you don't answer, because you can reverse it from your expressions and actions. You joined Anbu too early, and your promotion speed is too fast. You haven't finished a lot of anti-torture training."

After all, he is a few years older, Kiyohiko sighed in his heart, besides ninja fighting skills, he also learned something else: "Uchiha Fugaku once tried to make me a nail buried in Anbu by the Uchiha clan, but unfortunately my own strength Unfortunately, there is no way to be promoted to a sub-captain who can grasp the secrets, and Kakashi is not interested in politics, our detachment has always been just going out to do missions."

He sighed: "So that position has changed from me to you—I still know this."

After all, a son with outstanding talent is always more reliable than the youngest son of the owner of the biscuit shop.

That's why Itachi wanted to break away from Anbu Kakashiban as quickly as possible: "I looked through the personnel dispatch records of Anbu in the past few years. Although many of them have been damaged, the people who cared at the time certainly didn't think about Lian Tianzang and Uzuki Yuki. Yan’s mission reports are also deleted.”

Uchiha Itachi was slightly taken aback, and finally showed the most "outrageous" expression of the whole day today.

"Most of Kakashiban's missions are inclined to leave the village to assassinate, but the team after you is more inclined to be the direct guard of Hokage, which slightly overlaps with Uzuki Yugao's work-by the way, she is preparing to leave Anbu, I snatched it out and saw it before destroying the data."

"That position will satisfy Patriarch Fuyue even more, and at the same time...it should be closer to the third generation and Lord Danzo."

Uchiha Itachi’s own mission record has become a top-secret file, not to mention himself, even Kakashi can’t steal it, but it is very easy to calculate Uchiha Itachi’s itinerary from other people’s mission coordination records—of course, The workload is also heavy, and he asked several swords to investigate together for a week.

If he wasn't discussing such a painful matter, he would have said with a proud expression that this was the occasion of "Detective Kiyohiko".

"On that day, it was very strange that the patrol routes of all the dark troops were adjusted."

Kiyohiko was still looking at the ground, as if he could see a hole in the flat ground: "I was a member of the patrol squad before I joined Kakashi's squad, so I know better than many people...Because of an internal exercise training in Anbu, I was on duty that day. All the detachments were delayed by an hour. Although I was no longer in Konoha at that time, Tianzang’s record report included the outcome and time of the exercise—his opponent was a member of the third patrol squad. , and I am very familiar with the people in that class, because their duty range is the sentry tower on the edge of Muye Village."

"My mother has entrusted the clan's ninjas to climb that tower countless times to bring me snacks."

Of course, it stands to reason that Anbu's reports cannot be consulted with each other, but Kiyohiko has helped them make up reports not once or twice in the past. As long as the reason is right, Tianzang's head can't figure out too many twists and turns.

"What do you want to say?"

Itachi finally frowned.

"——I couldn't find the records of the Anbu detachment responsible for embalming the dead of the Uchiha clan at last."

Finally, Kiyohiko made a final decision: "That is to say, there are two possibilities. One is that Anbe is not responsible for this matter but Neme, and the other is that, for some reason unknown to me, this matter has been characterized as a A secret level beyond my own reading authority."

"... Enough is enough, Master Kiyohiko."

Jiang Xuezuo couldn't help saying: "It's enough to tell him this, and then, let me wait—"

"This is the place where ninjas are not welcome, and he is indeed dying. It will be a year or two if you don't do anything now."

Qingyan's expression was calm, and his voice was tired, as if he had lost all his strength: "Boss, I want to buy this kind of medicinal material, as well as your potion for suppressing the side effects of Sharingan."

"The damage to the body caused by that drug is irreversible."

The owner, Ling Zhi, finally couldn't help but said: "I don't want to hear about the grievances between you. From the time I stepped through the 88 torii gates, people who come here are not only businessmen but also patients, but as a doctor, I have to be responsible for the patients' bodies."

"Forget it, it's not as good as the one in my hand."

Qingyan seemed to have lost interest, and said in a tone that was better than nothing: "Then what else do you have for sale, show me the list--I will leave after reading it, or else you can just call your house." It must be reduced to ashes.”

Zero Zhi cautiously glanced at Kiyohiko and Itachi, who were far away, for fear that these two guys would fight in the store--preconceived consideration, they have known Mr. Itachi for several years, and never thought that the other party would be able to The character who kills the parents of the same kind for no reason, but the new guys don't seem to be lying, and the anger and regret of his subordinates are absolutely real.

This is probably what Mr. Itachi warned him in advance, the world outside the village.

He cautiously took away several kinds of medicinal materials that Qing Yan had sketched on the receipt, and carefully collected the money. The other party seemed to have an outstanding temperament and a gentle personality. He must be a very good person like Mr. Itachi, but he couldn't think of it. , such two people will have such blood feud.

Or, instead of hate, but...

The boy urged his younger brother to disappear together.

in the hall.

Kiyohiko doesn't intend to take the initiative to attack, it doesn't mean Itachi will do nothing.

"Up to now, what's the point of telling me this?"

There was no expression on Itachi's face: "If you are planning to do something..."

"—It's meaningless to just say it out of your mouth, and you probably don't intend to listen to illusory words."

Qingyan interrupted the other party's words: "I came back to change this world, from the side of death, from the gap in time... I came back to change everything."

"Although most of the information can be obtained in terms of reasoning, it is more convincing to tell me from the mouth of the person involved."

He looked directly into Uchiha Itachi's eyes, watching the other's eyes turn from pitch black to red, and then the three gouyus were drawn into a line and spun non-stop: "Who is standing behind you?"

bang.

Starting with the screams of Reishi and Takina, Kiyohiko was just standing in front of the door, but suddenly fell to the ground without warning, and in the next second, bright red blood flowed from Uchiha Itachi's eye sockets.

After that, it was the sound of the swordsmen pulling out their swords and fighting with Kunai.

"You bastard, what did you do to my lord!"

Mutsu Mori's pistol almost hit the opponent's temple this time.

"...Mutsu Mamoru."

The guy who fell to the ground was barely helped up by Yaken Toshiro: "Medicine."

"Oh, I will bring the medicinal materials back to Konoha... that's wrong!"

The conditioned reflex usually executes the instructions of the god judge, but in the middle of the action, Mutsu Mamoru suddenly realized that something was wrong: "The most important thing now is to kill that Uchiha Itachi first!"

"Jiang Xue... letter."

Qing Yan forced himself to continue issuing instructions.

"Following your will, I will bring Kakashi-dono's letter and your entrustment to the Kingdom of Waves."

Jiang Xuezuo also promised.

"..."

After finishing the order, Qingyan tilted his head in relief, and completely fell into a coma.Uchiha Itachi's current state is impossible to attack by force again. If these swords and swords in his hands that cannot be affected by illusion are shot together, they will definitely not let the opponent please——

As he expected, Uchiha Itachi frowned, turned over and swept out of the courtyard.

A week later.

When I opened my eyes again, the whole room was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Yaken Toshiro showed an expression as if he had survived a catastrophe, and rang the call bell in front of the hospital bed. Not long after that, Sakura, wearing a medical ninja uniform, came in pushing an intravenous drug cart: "Mr. Kiyohiko!"

"……How long?"

Kiyohiko asked.

"Eight days, specifically, seven days and sixteen hours..."

Sakura was a little worried: "Tsukuyomi's mental trauma is difficult to characterize medically... Do you feel a headache now?"

Kiyohiko looked at the nutritional needle in Sakura's hand, and felt that his stomach was even more empty: "...I just feel very hungry now."

Sakura: "..."

Then you recover fairly quickly.

The injection still needs to be injected, Qingyan looked at his arm, and there was already a row of fine and dense injection marks.In fact, he did still have vague migraines, but more mental burdens, like the unprovoked negative emotions before, were suppressed by the "fusing mechanism" in the brain.

Outside the window, a few sparrows were singing happily on the branches, making a lot of noise.

—He suddenly felt a little tired.
