Chapter XVII
Just when Yakumo and Eve went back to the house, Asakura Ye himself was still drinking in the tavern alone, and suddenly a very beautiful woman came in from outside, and the woman looked into the tavern first after entering, and then saw Asakura Ye and just paused for a while and looked at Asakura Ha. Then he walked straight to the bar, ordered a bottle of wine, and drank it himself.
Asakura Ye confirmed that what was in front of him was the target task that he wanted to get close to, and that he wanted to get closer. Looking at the little snow princess who was sitting alone in front of the bar, looking at the hexagonal crystal in her hand and not knowing what to say, she drank a glass of wine. Just as Asakura Ye was about to get up and walk over to contact her, he suddenly saw a very familiar figure, "I found you, Fengxue Ji." Naruto yelled at Snow Princess. And when Asakura saw Naruto, he immediately sat down and lay down on the table, making himself look like a drunken drunkard.
Unlike Naruto's angry attitude, Snow Princess tied the hexagonal crystal in her hand around her neck very calmly, "I said I'm not a wind and snow hime." ”
"Of course I do. Naruto said after hearing the other man's words, "But you actually trampled on my innocent heart." I don't know how great an actor is, but I will never forgive you. ”
"Actor, amazing, huh, haha," Snow Princess laughed when she heard Naruto's words, "Like a fool, being an actor is the lowest job in the world." It is also the work done by the lowest people. Naruto turned his anger into confusion after hearing Snow Princess's words, "It's so stupid to play that fake life according to a script written by someone else." ”
After hearing Snow Princess's words, Naruto remembered his previous life with Asakura Ha, "Naruto. I ask you, if one day you find that the world you live in is just a script that has been written. So how will you feel like you? Asakura looked at the stars in the sky and asked Naruto next to him.
"What about you, Aye, if it were you, how would you feel? Naruto asked rhetorically.
"I, my words. Asakura Ye looked at the stars and raised his hand, "My words will probably think that my life is up to me." As much as I would love to say so, it's impossible. After all, there is a lot of helplessness in this world. After putting his hand down, Asakura said weakly.
"It's really not like Ah Ye would say such a thing. Naruto said after hearing Asakura Ha's thoughts, and with what he knew about Asakura Ha, he thought that Asakura Ha would find the person who wrote the script and beat him all over the ground to find his teeth, "Aye. I ask you. If there's a script like the one you're talking about, do you have a script?"
"Nope. ”
"What about my sister?"
"Nope. ”
"Then my idea is that kind of script, I'd rather not. Naruto said firmly.
"Why? If it's a friend or family, the script will be given to you in the future. Why don't you want to accept it?"
"If I were asked to give up my present happiness for the sake of the so-called future, I would not accept anything. Naruto looked at the stars in the sky, "I don't know what I think in that script, but that's what I think here." Because my path should have my own way. ”
"Hmph, hahaha" Asakura ha laughed after hearing Naruto's words, "Naruto." Thank you so much. You're right, the road is your own, every intersection is your own choice of how to get to the next road, if the path I choose is the same as the path given to me by the script, then what, it can't control my thoughts and actions. ”
"Really. Naruto said a little angrily, "Then again, why did you ask me such a strange question, Aye." ”
"Because after sneaking into the cinema today to watch a free movie, I was thinking about whether we also wanted to live the script arranged by others like the actors in the movie. What is said and what is done is done according to that script. ”
"Those actors should also have a script that belongs only to them, but the person who wrote the script is themselves. Naruto heard Asakuraha's words, "Still. Aye. You went to the movies by yourself and didn't even call me. It's too much. Naruto stood up and said to Asakuraha.
"That's because Naruto would have been caught in no time if he had followed. Asakura immediately got up and played a game of cat and mouse with Naruto on the rooftop.
"Naruto, brother. Dinner is ready, hurry down and eat. While Naruto and Asakura were running around on the rooftop, Sakura Inoue downstairs said.
"Yes. Sister. *2 After hearing his sister's words, Naruto and Asakura stopped playing and ran to the bathroom to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.
"That's right. Aye. Why don't you live in your sister's house?" asked Naruto as he washed his hands, turning to Asakura next to him.
"Because I'm used to being there. What's more, my sister's home is not very far away. Asakura Ye said, "Besides, isn't my sister also relieved to let me live there by myself?"
"But. Isn't the family supposed to live together?" Naruto said with some frustration.
"That's because," just as Naruto was still thinking about the Asakura leaf and Inoue Sakura, the door was suddenly opened, "Miss Yukie." A middle-aged man with glasses walked in, "The ship to the Land of Snow is about to depart." Let's go. As the middle-aged man spoke, Sakura and Sasuke followed. And after seeing that all the people in the seventh class had arrived, and also knowing the destination of the target task, he secretly left the tavern and went back to the dormitory to meet Yakumo and them.
When Asakura returned to the house, he asked Yakumo and Eve to secretly get on the boat at night, and at this time, Sagiku also returned, and then asked Yakumo to take everyone on board after using illusions to confuse the people on the ship before Kakashi and the others returned.
After getting on the boat, Asakura listened to Lukong's report, and was surprised to hear that no one of the Konoha ninjas had been killed, after all, the name Oni was not blown out.
That's all for the report. Master. After Lukong finished speaking, he took a sip of water.
"Hmm. After listening to this, Asakura Ye only replied casually, and it could be seen from his face that he was not listening carefully but thinking about other things.
"Resurrect them when they get to the Snow Country, if I'm not mistaken, Konoha may have known that this supply was not the work of Orochimaru, as they thought. Asakura Ye thought for a moment and said, "So we need some helpers too." ”
Just as Asakura leaves by boat, Konoha was in the Hokage room. Iron Hand was strange about today's reincarnation of the filthy earth, but he couldn't think of anything that was strange, Orochimaru's purpose was Sasuke, and Sasuke was not in Konoha. Therefore, it is normal for those two filthy earth to be reborn in vain. But Steeler still felt that there were many things that were not normal in this matter. For example, why Konoha's ninjas didn't have many casualties was not because Steel Hand despised the lives of his subordinates, after all, what they were facing was that the ghosts would not be killed, and if the mastermind behind the scenes was really Orochimaru, he would not care about human lives.
"Could it be that someone else has learned to be reincarnated in the dirt?" Steelhand, who thought like this, called Shizune over, "Shizun, Nara Shikaku has already returned." Go and call him over. ”
Shizune left the Hokage Room after hearing Steelhand's words. After a while, Shikaku and Shizun arrived at the Hokage Room at the same time.
After seeing Shikaku, Steel Hand told Lujiu what happened in Konoha today, "The above is how the people attacked Konoha this time. ”
"The other party should just be trying to attract Konoha's attention, after all, since Lord Steelhand took office, Konoha's vigilance has been stricter than before. "But what is their purpose?"
"Orochimaru's purpose is Sasuke, maybe he knows that Sasuke is not in Konoha, so he left directly. Mute said on the side.
"Shizune is right to say that, but I always feel that this incident was not done by Orochimaru. Steel Hand spoke his mind, after all, there was no one here who knew Orochimaru better than him.
"Is it because there are no dead ninjas? Indeed, if it were Orochimaru, it would be impossible for Konoha to be free of dead people. Shikaku said Steelhand's speculation, "If it's not Orochimaru, then who would it be?"
After the three of them thought for a while, Lu Jiu seemed to remember something. "Maybe I know who it is. ”
"Who?"
"Steelhand-sama, you remember that there was a ninja who betrayed Konoha in Orochimaru's Konoha destruction plan. ”
"Are you talking about Asakura Ha?" Steelhand remembered the process of hearing other ninjas report on Orochimaru's Konoha destruction plan before, in which she also knew about Asakura Ha, but at that time there were two different reports, one was that he was fighting the first Hokage during that battle, and the other was that he was constantly attracting Konoha ninjas in Konoha, according to what she thought, what special methods did Asakura use at that time to act separately. Also, Naruto always mentioned the name in front of her, "But I remember that he wasn't reincarnated." ”
"Hmm. Shikaku nodded, "But just after Orochimaru's plan failed, when someone was sorting out the things left by the three generations of Hokage, they found that the Book of Seals had been moved, and because it was only passive but not lost, plus the funeral of the next three generations of Hokage and your relationship with you, it didn't attract much attention." ”
"Luku, what you mean is that Asakura Ha has read the forbidden techniques in the Book of Seals and learned a lot of ninjutsu in them. Steel Hand said after hearing Lu Jiu's words.
"It is indeed possible by this. After all, he is a person who has a writing wheel eye, so he doesn't need to take the book of seals away, but directly reads it all secretly while everyone's attention is on the middle ninja exam at that time. Just copy it in your head. Lu said as he remembered the doppelganger of Asakura Ha that he and Kakashi had teamed up to kill.
"But even so, then Ma Cangha can't use the clone that attracted attention in Konoha to attack Konoha before, why use such a troublesome method to attract attention?" Iron Hand asked his own question.
"I think it's probably because he wants to make sure how the Filthy Earth Reincarnation is doing. Otherwise, the conditions for the use of his clone are very harsh, after all, it is an existence with the same combat power as the main body, and the conditions for use must be very limited. Lu Jiu said.
"Isn't that what his leaf clone can do?" asked Steelhand, who also had a little knowledge of the leaf clone of Asakura Leaves.
"His leaf clones seem to be very powerful, but in fact they are a bit insufficient, each leaf clone only inherits one of the abilities of the main body, and once it is separated, it is easy to deal with. ”
"Why do you know the weakness of his leaf clone? It stands to reason that the weakness of ninjutsu may not be known even if it is a companion in the same village. ”
"That's because although he started the leaf clone of Asakura leaves, he didn't want to be like this at first, and then it was the three generations of Hokage who studied with him and improved into the current leaf clone. ”
"Old man?" Steelhand pondered for a moment after hearing Shikaku's words, ", you go and have Kaiban's men go and support Kakashi." He thought for a while and said.
"Yes. ”
"Steelhand-sama. Lu Jiu said after leaving silently, "Why do you want to let Kaiban's people go?" Although Asakura Ye is nominally betraying Konoha, he is actually a double agent and it is necessary to do so. ”
"Is he really a spy? I haven't met him in person, but I've probably confirmed his condition from all of you. "I think you can already see it." ”
Shikaku was silent for a moment after hearing Steelhand's words, "Hmm. Indeed, the current Asakura leaf is an extremely unstable factor, and he has not even established what his goal is. On the surface, he seems to be a steady person, but in fact he is a person who is easily induced by others. ”
"That's why I decided to let Kaiban go, after all, he's really an unstable factor, and it wouldn't be good if he suddenly went on a killing spree. Steelhand smiled and said, "And we don't know what his purpose was in sneaking into Konoha this time." ”
"I think it's probably the princess of the Snow Country. Lu Jiu said what he thought. "Why?" "If his purpose is Naruto, then as long as he releases the news of his location, with Naruto's stubbornness, he will definitely go, after all, Asakura is his family. And he didn't do it, proving that his purpose was the princess of the Snow Country. ”
"Hmm. It was rumored that there was a treasure in the Land of Snow, and I guess his purpose was to go for that treasure. After all, the purpose of the Xiao organization is to ask for a lot of money. "As for Xiao's purpose, the steel hand still knows, but she doesn't know Xiao's ultimate purpose. "Hmm. I know. Then I'll go back first. "Shikaku knows what the ultimate goal of the steel hand is, but it's better not to say it.
While Steelhand was discussing with Shikaku, Asakura also encountered a huge crisis for him here. 'Why is this happening?' Asakura ha thought as he looked at Yakumo in front of him, Eve and Egre.
