"You think you're the only one who is good at illusions?" Rina who was standing in front of him sneered, "But that's right, after all, since she appeared, you have never cared about my strength." β
Zhishui just frowned and looked at her, but he pursed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word, a trace of anxiety appeared in Rina's eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by her, and then hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed sarcastically: "Speaking of which, when you are not there, people run to your house every day, I have never seen him run so often before." β
Zhishui's expression did not change in the slightest: "I know." β
Probably because Zhishui's reaction was too bland, Rina's face suddenly became gloomy, and he laughed sharply twice: "You know? You don't know anything at all!"
"......" Zhishui was silent for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "Rina, you and the you I know now are not the same person at all. β
"That's because you've never known the real me," Rina sneered, "Zhishui, if you really care about me, how can you not find out my feelings?"
As he spoke, the green vines wrapped around Zhishui instantly stretched out countless spikes and pierced into his body, but Zhishui only frowned slightly, and didn't even snort.
"It's very uncomfortable to defeat you in your most proud illusion," Rina stroked her hair absentmindedly, "What you said to me just now, I will return it to you as it is, and you are the one whose soul will stay here forever and be tortured." β
"Yes," Zhishui narrowed his eyes slightly, "Rina, actually...... You don't know me either. β
Rina's face froze, her expression was momentarily flustered, she pretended to be calm and clenched her fists, and sighed: "Isn't it just another god, it's all been seen through by me, can there be anything more powerful?"
ββ¦β¦ No, you're wrong," Shisui paused, and the kaleidoscope in his eyes began to slowly turn, "I just used ordinary ninjutsu on you just now, not another god at all." β
"The True ...... of Other Gods"
The scarlet scene just now suddenly turned gray, and then a crack cracked from the top, and the gap quickly spread to the surroundings, and soon spread to the entire dome, and then with a "click", the surrounding scene returned to the real Rina room, and the water-stopping red kaleidoscope writing wheel eye has turned back to a dark black.
Covering his eyes and breathing a few times, Zhishui raised his eyes to look at Rina who was standing in front of him sluggishly, Rina was silent for a while and then tilted his head and showed him a gentle smile: "Zhishui, long time no see." β
"Well," Zhishui let out a long sigh and turned to walk out, "from now on, you will still live as before, and besides, don't appear in front of Hanari again." β
Rina nodded gently: "I know." β
As soon as he opened the door, Zhishui saw Hua Li standing at the door with his back to the house, and after hearing the movement behind him, Hua Li immediately turned around, looked at him carefully and nervously, and was relieved to confirm that he was not injured, and then threw himself into his arms and hugged his thin waist tightly.
"Why are you here?" Shisui touched Hanari's head in his arms, and noticed that the Uchiha people passing by were looking at them a little narrowly, he laughed a little helplessly, and then pulled Hanashi and walked back.
"I also know about Rina," Hanari lowered her eyes and looked at his bony fingers, "The spirit of the family told me, you went to Rina's house, I was a little worried so I came over to take a look, but I was a little afraid of her...... So there was no knocking. β
The footsteps of the water stopped for a moment, and his hand held tighter: "...... It's all right, Hanali. β
"What did you do to her?" Hanari curiously followed his pace, "Did you use another god?"
"Hmm...... Pretty much. Zhishui scratched his cheek a little distressedly, thinking that it was better for him not to tell him what he had done to Rina.
There are many things in the ninja world that are more cruel than she imagined, and if she can, Shisui doesn't want her from that beautiful and clean world to come into contact with these unknown darkness.
After Rina was artificially manipulated by the water stopper, Hanari's life never had any big mess, and the Uchiha gradually accepted her who was not a clansman-
No, or rather, the way they looked at her, it was clear that they had regarded Huali as their own.
Zhishui returned to his previous state, often being away from home due to various tasks, and Hanari began a long road of learning.
Because of Rina's matter, after realizing that her force value was low, Hanari finally had the consciousness that she wanted to become stronger, if she didn't have the chakra that stopped the water, at least in terms of physical skills, she could still work hard.
Three months later, she finally learned to accurately shoot kunai into the bull's-eye, and after excitedly calling Shisui to watch her training results, Shisui sighed helplessly, and a kunai quickly appeared in her hand.
He flipped the palm of his hand, and the kunai in his hand became four, and Zhishui didn't even look at the target not far away, and threw the kunai in his hand casually, and the four kunai hit the bull's-eye in an instant.
"......" Hanari silently put down the kunai in her hand, and looked at Zhishui with a pout, "Am I hopeless?"
"You haven't been exposed to these things since you were a child, it's normal for your body to be uncoordinated," Zhishui touched her head with a smile, "Huali works so hard, she will definitely get stronger over time, and it's not me." β
"It's really an official answer," Hua Li pouted, "Of course I will be better than my current self, but I will never be able to reach your Cheng dΓΉ...... No, I can't even catch up with Rina. β
If you think about it, she is still a little depressed, but if she chooses to live here, she must find a way to survive without being in a vulnerable position.
Even if she can only close the gap even a little bit, she has to work hard.
"Let's go home, come back tomorrow," Zhishui took the kunai in her hand and put it back in the shinobi bag, and when his fingers ran over her fingertips, he clearly felt that a thin cocoon had grown there, "Speaking of which, Hanari's birthday is almost here." β
"Eh, how do you know?" Hanari looked up in confusion, she remembered that she rarely mentioned her birthday.
"Ninjas always have a lot of means to get information," Shisui reached out and put his arm around her neck, then lowered his head to lean closer to her, "What gift does Hanari want?"
His dark eyes were so deep that she couldn't see the bottom, Hua Li stared at his eyes in a daze, her consciousness was already a little drifting, she unconsciously stood on tiptoe and kissed him quickly on the soft lips.
The touch had not subsided, and after realizing what he had done, Hua Li's face suddenly turned red, and then he accused him angrily: "You seduce me!"
"Poof," Shisui laughed and rubbed her head, "It turns out that Hanari wants such a gift, and I'm quite happy to ......"
"Not really!" Hua Li interrupted him angrily, then turned his face and walked forward, after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at him seriously, and said, "Zhishui stayed at home with me all day on my birthday, I want this gift, is it okay?"
Her eyes were too serious, so that Zhishui had to reflect on whether she hadn't been home for a long time recently, but the result was no.
In fact, most of the time he spends his time outside of his mission with Hanashi, and occasionally goes to see Itachi and Sasuke, and Shisui doesn't understand what Hanashi means when she asks for this gift.
The seniors are right, and sure enough, the girl's mind is hard to guess, well, that's right, it's as hard to guess as the information full of passwords.
Hanari stopped as she followed Shisui past the bustling shopping street of Konoha and looked up at the various signboards covered in colorful paint all around, and a little blonde boy stood on an advertising shelf in mid-air with a bucket of paint, his face full of mischievous smiles of triumph.
The surrounding merchants were all complaining, and a few tried to catch the little boy, but the little boy nimbly dodged the adults, jumped easily from the advertising shelf to the ground, and passed by Huali, a few drops of paint splashed on her clothes.
Huali frowned and stood in place for a long time, before she suddenly pulled Zhishui and walked forward, and when she came to a secluded street where there were no people, she lowered her voice and said to Zhishui: "What's the situation with that child? What's in his belly?"
Zhishui was stunned: "Huali, can you feel it?"
"It's too powerful, you can't ignore it," Hua Li bit her fingers a little uneasily, her expression was very entangled, "and...... It's unusually similar to the Nine-Tails, no, it's too similar, and it scares me a little. β
"Nine-tailed ......" Zhishui sighed lowly, and glanced around without a trace, "Huali, I'll tell you more when I go back, it's not convenient here." β
When he returned home, he checked the surroundings and closed the door before he whispered: "Huali, actually, that child's stomach is indeed sealed with the Nine-Tails, but it is still different from the Nine-Tails in your world. β
"Different?" Hanari blinked, and said with some confusion, "but it feels exactly the same to me......"
"The Nine-Tails sealed in his stomach is a huge fox," Shisui paused, his expression was a little hesitant, and he pondered for a long time before continuing, "Five or six years ago, Konoha was attacked by the Nine-Tails once, almost half of the village was destroyed, and many people died, and it was the four generations of adults who sacrificed their lives to seal him in the child's belly to save Konoha. β
Four generations?Huali was slightly surprised, it turned out that there were four more generations...... In other words, three generations are now running the village, is it because four generations have died?
"So that kid is usually so naughty?" asked Hanari curiously.
"Like...... "I haven't seen him much, most of the time he seems to be playing pranks, after all, he has the Nine-Tails sealed in his body, and even if everyone is dissatisfied with him, few people will actually reprimand him." β
"After all, the shadow of being attacked by the Nine-Tails is still there, so many people are worried that the Nine-Tails will break through the seal and run out, causing Konoha to suffer the catastrophe again. β
