Speeding through the darkness were two figures.

The figures, though dressed in very different costumes, were the same only in speed; But these two people are not so much companions as they are the ones who chase and those who are being pursued.

It was a ninja's lightness and swiftness, and if you didn't pay close attention, you wouldn't have noticed two shadows in the darkened woods.

After a few minutes or so, perhaps they were finally tired of the relationship between chasing and being chased, or perhaps they had finally arrived at the destination of the pursuer. The man who had been so far away by the latter finally stopped.

By the faint light of the moon in the woods, the pursuer, who had stopped, turned his head to look at the pursuer who was only a few steps away from him, and although their faces were hidden under their masks, this did not prevent them from looking at each other.

In this wood, where you are supposed to enjoy an immersive night, tension is on the rise.

It seems that at any time there will be an anomaly and a battle between ninjas will start here.

In fact, this is indeed the right judgment.

"Who are you," the two men exchanged eyes for about half a minute, and the pursuer asked coldly in the woods with the sound of the wind and the sounds of nocturnal animals.

His voice was clear but could not hide the sternness and murderous intent, as if as long as the answer of the chased person did not satisfy him, he would cut the throat of the other party with the kunai he had already pinched in his hand.

In fact, based on the behavior of the other party today, his behavior is also an inevitable result.

"Me?" The chasing party muttered for a moment after hearing the question, and then asked the man who was a little flustered after hearing his own voice, "Do you really not know who I am?"

It was an inexplicable remark, after all, both faces were hidden under each other's masks; And if the two sides had known each other's identities early on, there would have been no such scene as they are now.

But after hearing the chaseman's rhetorical question, the delicate face of the one who was chasing before finally distorted under the mask, and his dark eyes stared at the opposite person through the mask, and only spoke again after a long time.

It was still a questioning tone, but it was a little more unbelievable than the earlier sternness, "Why you?" Wait, why are you doing this? ”

The one questioned seemed to chuckle when he heard the question, but at the same time as the chuckle disappeared, his sudden burst of murderous anger also frightened away the birds and beasts that Ben had stayed in the forest.

"Because, I'm going to bring you here."

The man who was being chased replied.

The chasing side frowned as if there was something else to say, but the next moment......

He lost his breath in the swift and silent attack of the other party.

"You've got what I need," the man being chased gently lowered the body, then lifted the mask of darkness that concealed the other side, "just let me borrow it." ”

>>>

Maybe it was because he knew that the people around Zhou Jian didn't want to see him, or because he knew that Zhou Jian didn't want to see him after waking up, or because he wanted to give Zhou Jian Wen and Haruno Sakura, the mother and daughter, a chance to talk and get along, Bai Lan didn't show up on the day Zhou Jian Wen woke up, and just stayed in his room to read.

During that time, Bai Lan's three meals were delivered by the innkeeper herself, and he is said to have eaten them all.

The next morning after she woke up from her coma, she sent off her adopted daughter Sakura Haruno and the other members of Kakashiban, where she was located, and because she was still sick, she didn't send them to the door at Sakura's advice, but just said goodbye to them in her bedroom.

When Sakura Haruno said goodbye to Minu Shuna, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who had been watched by Minu Shunaku since childhood, also came, and the two of them upheld their usual personalities and said in their own ways words such as letting Minu Shujian pay attention to his body and rest well, which made Minu Shujian feel quite warm.

As for Sakai, who originally didn't belong to Kakashiban and was probably used by Bailan during the period he didn't know, Minu Funaken didn't say much because he didn't have any friendship with the other party, just asked him to get along with the members of Kakashiban.

As for whether the members of Kakashiban wanted to accept this temporary member, or how to beware of Bai Lan behind him, Zhou Jian didn't interfere too much.

These children have long grown up, and they have long had the right to make their own decisions when they became Zhongnin three years ago.

As Sakura Haruno insisted, Kakashiban is the Kakashiban of the four of them, and if something happens, the four of them have to deal with it, and the others can only give their own thoughts and suggestions, but can't help them make decisions.

Anyway, what should be said by Zhou Jian Wen had already been told to Sakura Haruno yesterday, and she had also analyzed the problems that she could help her daughter analyze.

Believing in his daughter's abilities and the tacit understanding between the members of Kakashiban, they will be able to solve this problem satisfactorily in the end.

After drinking today's medicine in front of Haruno Sakura before leaving, Funaya didn't feel sleepy for the time being, so she put on her coat and put two pillows behind her under the supervision of Veneto and read the book.

And it was at this time that Bailan appeared.

"It's not that far from Konoha either, so Isakura and the others will probably be able to return to the village this afternoon," Bai Lan smiled at Zhou Jianmin, who had already put down the book in his hand when he entered, "Are you worried?" ”

"Worried about what? Sakura's business? Funakami snorted lightly, "Even if something happens, I'm sure Sakura can handle it." ”

"What's more, she has the other members of Kakashiban by her side, and if something happens that Sakura can't handle alone, they won't stand idly by."

"Is this what is called friendship and bonding," Bai Lan also smiled when she heard this, "It's a strange world, but it's not the first time I've seen someone who puts friendship and hard work first." ”

Zhou Jianwen roughly guessed who and what Bai Lan was talking about, but at this time she had no intention of delving into this issue with the other party.

"You have one less 'victory'."

Friendship, hard work, and victory are the three elements of JUMP.

Bai Lan blinked, her vine-purple eyes were full of confusion about Zhou Jianwen's words, but this time Zhou Jianwen didn't answer him, just took a sip of tea slowly, while thinking about what was the most appropriate thing to say to the other party right now.

However, before Zhou Jian Wen could think of a suitable topic, Bai Lan spoke again, "I was asking you just now, are you worried about Sakura...... No, it's Kakashiban who has fallen into my trap. ”

"The trap you set yourself is so blatant, Bai Lan, you are still the first person."

Zhou Jianwen sneered.

According to common sense, you can talk about the conspiracy you created or something in the final duel to the protagonist - in fact, Bai Lan explained his "conspiracy" to Kurosaki Ichigo on the cliff of the Twin Deaths in this way.

But the phrase "trap" is different.

If you say this after the trap has really caught the intended goal, it may not be anything; But now Bai Lan's trap is still going on after all, so he declares the words "I have a trap, I don't know if your daughter will be fooled......

Zhou Jianwen felt that Bai Lan deserved to be Bai Lan, and even her brain circuits were different from ordinary people.

"Because I don't have anything I can't say to Jian Wen," Bai Lan naturally knew what Zhou Jian Wen's words and that sneer meant, "Jian Wen shouldn't like me to hide anything from you, right?" ”

Saying this, he suddenly took out a packet of marshmallows from the wide sleeves of his kimono, and said as he unwrapped the package, "Although even if I hide something from Jian Wen, I will soon be exposed by Jian Wen." ”

Zhou Jianwen was silent for a while as he watched the other party eating marshmallows, "Then you want to say, 'Even if you know that your concealment and the tricks and feet you are doing in secret will inevitably cause me to be dissatisfied, there is a reason why you have to do it', right?'" ”

Bai Lan didn't answer directly, but walked to Zhou Jianwen's side with a smile, and then picked up a marshmallow and sent it to Zhou Jianwen's mouth.

Zhou Jianwen stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed and reached out to take the marshmallow in his hand, and then ......

- Directly into Bai Lan's mouth.

Then she didn't give Bai Lan the slightest chance to react, she directly grabbed his Lian with one hand and forced him to open his mouth, snatched the marshmallow bag in his hand with the other, and directly poured the marshmallow inside into his mouth.

After all the bags of marshmallows were poured into Bai Lan's mouth, Zhou Jianwen threw the empty bag in her hand aside, and then reached out to put her face flushedThe red white orchid pushed aside.

"A marshmallow wants to pass the labor?" Zhou Jianwen looked at Bai Lan, who was almost choked by his beloved marshmallow, with an expressionless face and sneered, "What do you think of me?" ”

"Nature is unique."

Bai Lan, who didn't expect Zhou Jianwen to suddenly make this move, finally relieved her breath, and then sighed with a frightened look, "...... I really didn't expect to almost choke to death from a marshmallow. ”

If this word spreads, it may be laughed off by one of his old enemies.

"But Kenwen is also true," for fear that Shujian Wen would gag himself with marshmallows again, Bai Lan took a few steps back, and then he took out a new pack of marshmallows from the sleeve of his kimono, but as if he thought of something, he coyly stuffed the bag back again.

"This is my favorite marshmallow, I didn't expect Jian Wen to be so disgusted."

Zhou Jianwen glanced at him without being salty, and did not tell Bai Lan that it was not the marshmallow that he disliked, but himself.

"Your favorite thing," Funakami paused, then looked away at the blue sky outside the window after Veneto had opened the curtains earlier, "not necessarily my favorite. ”

As she said this, she sighed softly, and then turned her head to look at Bai Lan, who was already smiling, standing not far from her bed.

"It's like the things I value and care about the most, not what you value and care about."

Zhou Jianwen's words made Bai Lan, who was already smiling, squint slightly, and the tense atmosphere that permeated the room at that moment made Veneto hold his breath and concentrate on his own commander's lady and Bai Lan, afraid that they would fight like this.

And I don't know how long it took, Bai Lan suddenly raised a smile that was familiar to both Zhou Jianwen and Veneto, "Jianwen is really joking." ”

"All I care about is Jian Wen from the beginning, and you should have known this from Jian Wen a long time ago."

With that, he pulled out his chair and sat down at the table again, but his eyes never took his eyes off Zhou Jianwen's body, "And what you care about, Jianwen, will naturally become what I care about." ”

"Oh? Really? Zhou Jianwen raised an eyebrow, but his words were clearly full of distrust of someone's words.

Bai Lan was not annoyed by Zhou Jianwen's questioning, but just nodded with a smile in response, "Naturally, Jianwen, it's okay if you don't believe me now, because ......"

"You want to say that time tells, don't you?"

Zhou Jianwen took his words unceremoniously, and then showed a meaningful smile in Bai Lan's nodding response, "It's okay." ”

"Then let time tell."

Since Zhou Jian Wen said so, Bai Lan naturally would not continue to entangle with Zhou Jian Wen on this issue, he drank half a cup of tea, and then suddenly said again, "Speaking of which, have you heard about the latest developments of the "Xiao" organization? ”

Zhou Jianwen, who thought that Bai Lan would shut up about this, didn't expect him to suddenly bring up this question, but after a short silence, she still shook her head.

"I've been recuperating here for the past few days, how can I know the latest developments of the Akatsuki organization?"

"I've heard a few," Bai Lan put down the teacup in her hand, and her face returned to the bright smile that had been hanging on her face all the time, "I heard that the four tails have been caught by them, and now they have probably sealed it together with the three tails." ”

The news didn't surprise her much.

Whether it's the fact that the efficiency of the "Akatsuki" organization is so high, or the fact that the human pillars of the various tailed beasts have been arrested one after another.

Or maybe someone is so well-informed.

"It's moving pretty fast," Zhou Jian replied nonchalantly, as if he really didn't know what it meant for the Xiao organization to move so quickly, "At their current speed, it won't be Konoha's turn in a few months." ”

Bai Lan didn't know that Naruto's body was sealed with the Nine-Tails, he looked at Zhou Jian Min, who didn't react much to this, and seemed to be a little puzzled by her calmness, "Looking at Jian Wen's appearance, it doesn't seem to be in a hurry?" ”

"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Will the organization stop because of my urgency? ”

Even if Payne ...... Nagato stopped, and behind him there was Uchiha Obito disguised as a masked man; Even if Uchiha Obito is said to be moved, he will still have Uchiha Madara who is being used after him; And even if they were really able to subdue Madara Uchiha......

Behind him, there are also black and Kaguya who have tricked everyone.

These were not things that she could have avoided if she was in a hurry about the subduing of the tailed beast and the death of the human pillar force.

Rushing doesn't make any difference.

The only way to do this is to cut off the root of it all.

Thinking so, Zhou Jianwen looked at Bai Lan, who seemed to be thinking about something; And Bai Lan, who heard Zhou Jianwen's words and noticed her gaze, then nodded as well, "That's right, the birth of the 'Xiao' organization was by no means an overnight thing; And if you want to dismantle them, you can't do it overnight. ”

Zhou Jian replied, "There is only so much I can do now, but disposing of a few more members of the Xiao Organization can more or less slow down their progress. ”

With that, Zhou Jianwen looked up at Veneto on the side, "Has you found the person I asked you to stare at before?" ”

Veneto, who had been paying attention to the dynamics on their side since early in the morning, immediately nodded in response when he heard the voice, "Found it, is Lord Jianwen prepar......ing?"

Hearing the worry and entanglement in Veneto's words, Zhou Jianwen just smiled, "Don't worry, I will recuperate here in the next few days, but our people still need to pay close attention to that person's dynamics." ”

"When I'm well-healed, it's not too late to make a move."

Zhou Jianwen's meaning was already clear, and Veneto, who had already understood what she meant, also nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Jianwen, I will have people pay close attention to that person's actions." ”

By the time Zhou Jianwen has recovered her body, it will be about the time of death of the prey she is targeting.

Bai Lan looked at Zhou Jianwen, who was obviously well prepared, and shook her head with a sigh, "Oh, it's terrible, I want to see who is so unlucky in the Xiao" organization that is actually targeted by you Jianwen. ”

Zhou Jianwen, who had already made a full plan, looked at Bai Lan, who was sighing not far away, and then showed a smile that was no less than his.

"You're wrong, Brand."

Zhou Jianwen picked up the book she had put aside and flipped back to the page she had bookmarked earlier, "I'm not targeting any one in the Xiao organization, but the organization itself. ”

"In other words, all the members of the "Akatsuki" organization are my goals, and the difference is only who dies first and who can survive for a few more days."

"Of all the targets I've been eyeing before, have you ever seen one who can get out of it all?"

Although he still looked sick at the moment, Zhou Jianwen's eyebrows and tone were only confident in his own plan and the strength of his ship's mother.

Only then did Bai Lan think that even if she became a medicine jar after coming to this world, Zhou Jian Wen would still be Zhou Jian Wen.

There are only opponents she doesn't want to kill, and no enemies she can't kill.

And among the people who are now eyeing the "Akatsuki" organization, in addition to the shadows and leaders of the various ninja villages that have been plagued by the "Akatsuki" organization over the years, there is also such an existence that should not be underestimated.

Bai Lan always felt that Zhou Jianwen had been releasing water all these years, if she had made up her mind to kill the Xiao Organization from the beginning......

I'm afraid I don't have to wait until now.

>>>

In the dark cavern, there is a huge and ugly wooden statue of a humanoid.

The reason why it is said to be a wooden statue is that the color of the portrait is like dead wood.

The humanoid wooden figure has nine eyes, ten branches that appear to have been broken, and a pair of hands held high. The ten fingers on the hands are intact, and on the wrists are a bunch of bracelets, but there are chains between the bracelets, so it looks more like a pile of delicate handcuffs.

At this moment, there are seven figures standing on the hands of the figure, each occupying the seven fingers of the figure; It's just that this figure is both virtual and real, some of which seem to be real human beings, while others look more like virtual images.

"Sealing two tailed beasts at once is indeed a big project," when the two eyes on the portrait opened one after another, someone among the seven figures suddenly spoke, "I didn't expect the progress to be so slow without two people, eh." ”

"Flying Duan and Horn are dead in a strange way."

The virtual figure standing on the thumb of his right hand said in a deep voice, although it was because of the virtual image that he couldn't see the man's hair color, but judging from his special pair of eyes, it was not difficult to see that he was Payne who was living in Yuyin Village at the moment, "But they did make outstanding contributions to our plan." ”

Hearing Payne say this, the others didn't answer, but the short silence didn't last long, because someone in the crowd soon laughed and said, "After all, it's because the seniors of the flying section and the seniors of the horns are too weak, right?" ”

"You're the weakest one, Ah Fei," the young man with the high ponytail glared at the man who had partnered with him instead of Scorpion, "I really don't know why the boss asked me to combine with you." ”

"That's because the scorpion-senpai was beaten into a pile of pieces by Konoha's people," Ah Fei said in a naïve tone that he didn't know if he didn't know if it was intentional or not, "So I can only partner with Deidara-senpai." ”

"Could it be that for Deidara seniors, am I really not as good as Scorpion seniors at all?"

Ah Fei's crying appearance couldn't move anyone present at all, and it made Deidara angry, "Aren't you talking nonsense? ”

"Ah Fei is the weakest among us," Deidara said immediately after the same virtual image of Jue, "It's a pity that the scorpion died early." ”

"That's enough," the conversation between the men made Payne listen a little irritating, "never, tell me what you've got." ”

"Although there is no definite evidence, judging from the final remnants of the Chakra of Feidan and Kakuto, which is the battlefield where they last fought, it is very likely that they were killed by the people of Konoha."

As soon as he heard Jue say this, Deidara immediately frowned, "Is it Konoha again?" ”

"Haha, Senior Deidara thought of your broken arm!"

"Shut up, Ah Fei!"

Ignoring the two people who were fighting over there, the oni shark, who had also fought with Konoha before, asked, "So have you confirmed who it is?" Killed the people of Feidan and Kakuto. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're familiar with that person and the ghost shark."

The ghost shark raised an eyebrow, "Oh? I don't have any friendship with the people of Konoha, so if you really want to say something familiar, it's hard to be ......."

"That's right," Jude said with a weird smile, "it's the woman named Mafune Creek." ”

He said slowly in the dark cavern where silence had returned—

"If my judgment is correct, she is the one who killed Feiduan and Kakuto."
