[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

In the dimly lit room where only the candles emitted pitiful orange light, the girl stepped on the edge of the bed with one foot, throwing Kunai unconsciously in her hand, like a hollow doll, her eyes could barely see the focal length.

Kunai jumped up and down, which also drove the girl's thoughts.Even though her expression remained unchanged, her heart was not as stagnant as it appeared on the surface.

She was wondering what the meaning of the dream she saw after she fell asleep.

She used to not be able to dream, but recently, the nightmare grabbed her hands and feet, entangled her body and pressed her head, forcing her to watch the scenes of the warm past.

She saw herself performing boring D-level missions with three ninjas, participating in festivals with her peers, sharing secrets, and fighting side by side with her comrades...that was a life that girls didn't know.

There are comrades who laugh together, close friends who talk to each other, and people who are always by your side...

Maybe that wasn't her dream.

The girl thought of the phantom that once existed in her body for a short time. These should be left by her, a little proof of existence.

What a disturbing phantom, haunting even after it's gone.

"I'm not a fake..."

The girl remembered the words before the phantom disappeared, bit her lower lip hard, held the Kunai tightly in her hand, and disgusted emotions appeared in her originally empty eyes.

The door behind him was slowly pushed open, and the harsh "squeak" sound blew off the trembling candlelight, causing the girl's shadow on the wall to be skewed.

"Ren, get ready, Danzo-sama wants you to perform a new mission."

The man wearing the ghost mask leaned against the door frame and said jokingly: "This mission is to face your old acquaintances, don't be too soft-hearted."

Renli stood up, his expression turned cold and sharp: "They are just part of the mission."

No matter how intimate she was in the dream, it was just a fake past, and had nothing to do with her "Ren", the task was the task, and she didn't have any psychological burden.

"Really?"

Just when Ren raised her footsteps, a muffled sound came from somewhere in the dimly lit room, like someone whispering against her earlobe, which made her turn her head suddenly in shock, but there was no one there.

"What's the matter? I was surprised." Wu looked at the subordinates behind him. Since returning to the sequence, the girl seemed to have undergone many interesting changes, which aroused his interest, so he asked with great interest.

"It seems...someone is talking to me." Ren looked around vigilantly, but there were no other living things in the dim space except her and Wu, not to mention that woman's voice was so familiar—as if she was talking by herself .

"I didn't hear that, you must have been under an illusion." Wu smiled and spread his hands.

"... auditory hallucinations?" Ren shook her head, she always felt a little strange after regaining control of this body, as if there was a gap between the empty shell and the soul.

The scene of the phantom named "Snow" disappearing kept replaying, the girl's body full of cracks insisted on grasping the blade that pierced her chest, and those eyes flashed a life-like light that even moved her.

It is ridiculous and cruel for Ren and Xue that a phantom actually has its own life and thoughts.

Because there can only be one of them.

However, the two people who are both the origin of the beast understand that this is the law of survival in nature, winners and losers, only the strong can obtain the right to life.

Therefore, Ren has no needless pity and pity for her newborn sister, because she is just a stepping stone for her own survival, just like a creature that is eaten into the stomach, which is the basis for the continuous evolution of human beings.

But what about this lingering discomfort?

Ren couldn't help scratching his chest, but couldn't find anything unusual. What exactly was this fleeting illusion, there was no answer for a while.

"Don't be in a daze, it's time to go." Seeing the girl's pause, Wu reminded dissatisfiedly.Although it is his interest to observe interesting things, unusable subordinates are like blunt weapons that must be replaced in time.

"Yes." Knowing that Wu had already started to feel displeased, Ren could only put the strangeness behind her head, and walked out behind the man.

"Want to go to the Five Kage Conference with Naruto?" Yamato looked at his senior in disbelief. He had spent a lot of energy busying himself with the reconstruction of the village during this time, and now he was assigned a hard job by his senior. Could it be that he Born to work hard?

"Naruto is going to look for Raikage because of Sasuke. As a teacher, I should support him more?" Kakashi smiled and touched his neck without any embarrassment.

"And to confirm whether Ren will also go there?" Yamato sighed, and helped the silver-haired Jonin finish the fact that he was not honest.

"The Five Kages meeting is a great opportunity for Danzo-sama to confirm his status to other countries. I think he will not miss it, and there must be arrangements." Kakashi did not hide his thoughts, and continued with a solemn expression, "And now Ren , has an important role for Danzo... so we must follow Naruto closely."

"Is Naruto the key? I understand." Yamato nodded. He probably understood Kakashi's concerns, so he no longer objected.

After the two chatted quickly, they separated and made preparations. The silver-haired Shangren returned to the newly built temporary dormitory, and heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Randomly placed sundries make the empty room look a bit messy, only the corner table has been carefully organized.

Taking a closer look at the photo frame on the table, he stretched out his hand to open the drawer, revealing the neatly arranged boxes of thousand paper cranes hidden in it. The silver-haired Renin crossed the colorful candy paper, and accurately took out a spike chain deep inside.

Milky white spikes flickered in front of his eyes, Kakashi's gray-black right eye focused on the not-so-smooth surface, and the mouth under the mask was slightly curved.

"It's still the same, it's a no-nonsense strategy."

As he spoke, Kakashi put the wolf fangs in his left chest pocket, looked up at the bright sky outside the window, and slightly moved his stiff bones and joints.

"It's time for me to snatch you back this time."
