[Naruto] Angelica

For ordinary people, the time limit for determining death after disappearance is two years, but for ninjas, this time period is eight months.Yayoi Hinata's Fire Emblem had long lost her life sense, and Anbe still waited eight months before issuing the death announcement.

In April of Konoha 56, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the whole Konoha is bathed in sunshine and pink ocean.

One copy of Hyuga Yayoi's death information was posted on the bulletin board at the entrance of the corridor where Anbu entered, and the other was sent to the Hyuga Clan.All the information sent back during the mission was compiled into a book by the Anbu members of the archives team, leaving a backup volume, and the original was sent to the third generation.

The third generation unfolded the scroll, and the last piece of information stayed eight months ago.He had read all the information as soon as it was sent back, but looking at it now, he was in a different mood.After more than ten months of lurking, only a few lines of words were exchanged, and the weight of these few lines of words was as heavy as life.

"Look at it."

He passed the scroll aside.

Ji Lai also took it, pursed his lips and read the few lines back and forth several times.

This huge mercenary organization with many branches is called "Xiao", and its current main action is to provide low-cost troops for various small countries in the melee, and it also accepts private commissions with objective quotations.Akatsuki has nine leaders, Orochimaru is only one of them, and the details of the other eight are unknown, only from Rangin of other troops, it is known that these people are all traitors for various countries, and their location is suspected to be Yuyin Village.

After Yayoi Hinata sent back the report that she was going to Yuyin Village to investigate information, she never had any contact with Konoha.

"The basic situation has been investigated in such a short period of time. She is really suitable for this job...it's a pity." Zilai also said in a deep voice.

The third generation slowly exhaled, "It's not easy to find a suitable person to take on the vacancy of this task."

"Indeed. If Gray Bird's death was really due to the exposure of the mission, Akatsuki will definitely strengthen precautions, and it will be difficult for us to send people into the interior." Jiraiya said, "But we haven't figured it out yet, the Nine-Tails attack , Does it have anything to do with this organization? If you leave it alone, you might be able to pose a threat to Konoha in the future.”

The third generation snorted coldly: "Yeah. Besides, people who can get together with Orochimaru can be imagined..."

"Oh?" Jiraiya raised one corner of his mouth like a smirk, "Why, do you regret that you didn't kill him directly?"

"..." The third generation put the pipe on the table. "Danzo always said that I was too soft-hearted. I have to admit that at least on the matter of Orochimaru, he was right."

The door was knocked three times, and Sandaimu frowned invisibly, before returning to his usual expression.He didn't even notice when the people outside got there, and he wasn't sure how much he heard the conversation with Jiraiya just now.

"Come in."

The door opened, and behind him stood a black-haired boy wearing a mask. When he saw that it was Itachi, the third generation was relieved.

"Where's Obito?" Sandaime asked.

"It should be on the way."

"Go to the meeting room and wait, I'll send someone to notify them."

"Yes."

Itachi left, and after the door was closed, the third generation snorted out of his nose, and squinted at Jiraiya, "I'm going to a meeting, Akatsuki's matter, you continue to find a way to keep an eye on it, it's really not possible, at least take Orochimaru Keep an eye on it, if there is not enough manpower, transfer from the Anbu.”

"Understood, long-winded." Zilai also dug his ears, "I'll figure it out."

When Sandaime arrived at the conference room, the consultants and Danzo had already arrived. He walked in and saw Obito who suddenly appeared in the corridor with space ninjutsu.

Obito saw his face darken, and quickly said: "I'm not late, this is just right."

The third generation snorted and said, "Did I say something to you? Come in."

"Yes, yes, yes." Obito stepped forward and opened the door in two or three steps, and only went in after the third generation walked over.

The thick soundproof door seems to separate the meeting room and the corridor into two worlds.

In the huge conference room, Sandaime and the others had already taken their seats, and Obito walked to Itachi's side, with an incandescent lamp hanging above his head, and the slight sound of electric current sizzling.

"Let's start." The third generation said, his voice echoed in the empty room, and it didn't sound very real.

"Yes."

Itachi briefly reported the content of the secret meeting between his father and several elders in the last month. During the narration, the expression of the consultant Xiaochun was already a little tense. Compared with her, Danzo seemed to be listening to Itachi about the weather forecast , nothing happens.

"It's really evil..." Xiaochun couldn't help but gritted his teeth, "The Anbu guarding the gate is for deterrence, tell Uchiha that we already know what they are thinking, don't act rashly, it's good now, even the specific implementation plan is soon The negotiation is complete!"

"I said earlier that it is impossible for the Uchiha clan to give up the coup." Danzo was not surprised by this.

The third generation said: "Don't draw conclusions yet. Let's continue talking about the situation of last night's rally."

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will only take root and sprout. Since last year's dispute with the tribe over the water-stopping incident, even if he has extremely restrained his words and deeds, it is difficult to erase the distrust of the tribe.Itachi hardly ever attended rallies again.

He looked at Obito, and since he came in, he had tilted his head and was a little distracted. At this time, he heard the word "assembly" from Sandaime, and he came back to his senses with a soft "ah".

"In fact..." He coughed twice, cleared his uncomfortable throat, and then continued, "In fact, the complete coup plan was announced at the rally last night."

Obito didn't continue to repeat, he felt that saying this sentence was probably enough.

Following Obito's words, the coolness spread from Itachi's palm to his whole body. His usually calm mind was a little unable to think at this moment.

The advisers had already quarreled, and the third generation, who had always been peaceable, rarely stopped talking. Amidst the debate, Danzo's words fell into Itachi's ears very clearly.

"The situation is urgent... Before their plan is officially implemented, you and I join forces, plus our respective Anbu, if we attack from the dark, we can definitely solve it quickly."

His tone was normal as if he was discussing what to eat for lunch, not the whole life and death of the Uchiha clan.

"No." Third Generation looked at him, "I drew up a reconciliation plan last year, but since the Uchiha tribe has not acted, it is useless. Now I can take it out and talk to them calmly."

"...You always think too well of other people." Danzo snorted, "If I were Uchiha, if I knew that you had already understood my intentions, I would only execute the plan immediately in advance, and both sides would suffer. It's better than giving up and continuing to be Konoha's watchdog."

"Don't say such things in front of Itachi and Obito." The third generation raised his tone a little bit, "I believe there must be a peaceful solution. If you don't try, how will you know the result?"

"I'm afraid that the final result is that you will be beheaded by Uchiha during the negotiation, Konoha will fall into a melee, and other big countries will take advantage of it. At that time, let alone Konoha, the entire Kingdom of Fire may cease to exist!" Danzo replied without showing any weakness.

After a moment of stalemate, the third generation said to the two still standing in the field: "You go back separately, don't arouse any suspicion, don't take any action, and wait for my order."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Itachi looked up and suddenly found that Danzo was also looking at him.He turned around without any pause, and walked out of the meeting room door with Obito.

"It's sunny outside..."

In the corridor, Obito stretched out his arms as if he had just woken up.Probably the weather is so good today, the glass windows are all open, and some cherry blossom petals are blown in by the wind, falling on the window sill, and falling to the ground in a whirl.

He looked relaxed, as if the conversation in the meeting room just now had never happened at all. After admiring the view of flowers in the distance outside the window, he turned around and smiled at Itachi, asking, "Are you going back to Anbu or the clan? Shall I take you for a ride?"

"What about you?"

"I'm going to find Kakashi, but I have to go home and get the things first."

"Then you go first." Itachi also turned his head and looked outside, "It's rare that the weather is good today, I want to take a walk."

"Okay. Goodbye then."

The space began to fluctuate, and the vortex finally ended in the writing wheel eye. In the blink of an eye, Obito had disappeared.

A piece of cherry blossom fell on Itachi's shoulder at some point. He picked it up and put it in his palm, clenched his fist, and then released it. There was only fine powder lying in the palm of his hand. When the wind blew, there was nothing left.

"Too fragile..."

He murmured under his breath.

Anbu Building, the office at the end of the corridor on the first floor, still has the sign of "Fourth Generation Dark Guard" on the door, but no one uses it anymore, and it has become a storage room for sundries.Boxes of flawed ninja tools that haven't been dealt with in time are piled up inside, and reports that haven't been dealt with in time after the confidentiality period are also placed here.

Uchiha Obito slapped the door three times vigorously, and then pushed the door handle—it was locked from the inside.

"I'm in."

He yelled, took out a thousand copies from the ninja bag, skillfully opened the door, and skillfully dodged the throwing pillow.

"Obito, I haven't closed my eyes for more than 30 hours."

Kakashi's low voice came from the left.

Obito always felt that this conversation sounded familiar.Without thinking about it, he turned on the light, the old light tube jumped a few times, and finally turned on, the sudden light made Kakashi squint his eyes and let out a "hiss..." sound.

"Wake up and see what I brought you!"

"what?"

Kakashi's temples were throbbing and throbbing, and now he just wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep, but he still managed to take the thing in Obito's hand.

Some weight, tightly entangled by cardboard and tape, he touched the kunai out and cut open the package, inside is a knife, pure black scabbard, only a few decorations on the handle.

"This is……"

Kakashi held the handle of the knife and drew half of the blade out, and his drowsy brain instantly woke up a lot.

"I got the materials from the black market when I went on a mission in the Iron Country at the end of last year." Seeing Kakashi's surprised expression, Obito grinned in satisfaction, "I found the best craftsman to make it, and arranged it. It’s been a long time, and I just received it not long ago. How about it, it’s made of the same material as White Fang’s blade.”

This material is too scarce, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy.Kakashi looked at the knife twice and asked him, "Give it to me? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"I think so. The fire attribute chakra knife is so hot, who can hold it." Obito rolled his eyes, "And the knife issued by Anbu is not suitable for your hand, this is according to the white teeth in my memory. The size of the blade is made, there may be a little deviation, just use it."

Kakashi put the knife back into its sheath with a "boo-" and sat up a little bit, looking up at him with his eyelids raised.

"Tell me, what are your plans for giving me such a good thing."

The corner of Obito's mouth twitched: "I planned to give it to you as a birthday present, but after thinking about it this morning, it's better to give it to you now...don't forget it."

"No." Kakashi moved the knife back calmly, "There is no reason to take back what was sent out. I put it away, thank you, and treat you to dinner another day."

"Don't change the day, just today."

"I'm on duty today, so it's inconvenient to go out."

"... Are you still hiding here to sleep on duty?"

"Ying □□ is sitting in the office over there, no one will notice."

"You became Kakashi."

"It's called 'adaptation', not change. Don't you know that people will die if they don't sleep for three days?"

"I only know that if I don't drink water for three days, I will die." Obito showed a look of disgust, and waved his hand wearily, "You really don't want to invite me to dinner today? I'm going to go on a long-term mission soon, when the time comes, what do you want?" I can't even please."

"Oh. Goodbye, safe journey and smooth mission."

Kakashi really couldn't hold it anymore, fell down and closed his eyes again, not forgetting to hold the knife, lest Obito change his mind and take it away while he was asleep.

With a rustic smile, he picked up the pillow, patted the ashes, and threw it on him. He didn't forget to turn off the light before going out, and the room returned to darkness.
