"I really can't figure it out, why can't I pull out the tailed beast?" The ghost shark was facing the outside of the rainy house, leaning against the stout pillar with his hands around his chest.

Itachi sat in his seat, took a sip of hot tea, and replied lightly: "It's not something we have to think about. ”

The white boy sat across from the ferret and did not speak.

After coming out of the base, the three of them did not rush to leave, but found a shop and sat down.

Yuyin Village was shrouded in dark clouds, the sky was dark, it was raining non-stop, and the road was empty, and it was not possible to see a pedestrian coming and going for most of the day.

The white boy stared at the outside of the house for a while, then stood up and walked under the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch the rain, and the cool raindrops fell into the palm of his hand, and then he withdrew his hand, looked at it and shook off the rain in his hand: "The rain is mixed with chakra." ”

It hadn't rained in Yuyin Village when they came, so now he noticed something was wrong.

Itachi nodded: "It's Payne's Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, which is a ninjutsu that mixes chakra in the rain to monitor the entire Rain Hidden Village. ”

"That's right." The White Boy blinked knowingly, it seemed that Payne, the leader of the Xiao Organization, was a very controlling person.

"Then again, the person who caught the pillar force can't pull out the tailed beast, this feeling is like buying a fake and being cheated." The ghost shark held the shark muscle in his arms and continued to wrestle with this issue.

The white boy glanced at the ghost shark and hooked the corners of his mouth: "I think it should be Payne who has been deceived." ”

"That's just as well." Thinking of Payne's expression at that time, the ghost shark couldn't help but grin, and after a few laughs, he stopped, he looked a little bored, "Okay, then where are we going next?" ”

Itachi replied to him in a loud voice: "The five-tailed human pillar force is also in Yanyin Village. ”

"So we're going back to Iwain Village again?" The ghost shark looked at Itachi with his hands folded around his chest, "It's really boring, I just came out of there and now I'm going back." ”

Itachi put aside the cup in his hand, stood up and walked under the eaves: "Now that the four-tailed human pillar force has been caught, Yanyin Village must have been on high alert, if we go back immediately to catch the five-tailed human pillar force, it will just be a self-defeating net, and this will also easily arouse the vigilance of other countries and bring trouble to the arrest of other teams." ”

The ghost shark looked at Itachi: "So we'll go back later?" ”

"Well, you can finish the other tasks first."

The white boy didn't have a big opinion on this, he thought about it, and then raised his eyes to look at the weasel and the ghost shark: "Why don't we go and grab the human pillar power of the other teams?" Seeing that the weasel and the ghost shark were looking at him, the white boy hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his chin slightly and looked at the empty front, "It's so boring to go back and forth in Yanyin Village, anyway, the organization is not in a hurry to catch the tailed beast now, and the other teams are too busy with the task at hand, so how can there be any time to catch the tailed beast?" Why don't we help them catch it together? ”

"It's a contradiction, and it sounds dangerous, but ...... Who do you want to rob? Could it be Deidara's team? As he spoke, the oni shark's smile widened, and his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested in this opinion.

The white boy looked at the ghost shark and continued: "Cause a conflict? How so, we're helping them. ”

The ghost shark snorted twice: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"Let's just choose a path to go, catch the tailed beast of which country we go to, and don't specifically target which team, how about it?"

The ghost shark said with great interest: "I think ......"

"Ahem." Before the ghost shark could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cough.

The white boy looked at the ferret, only to see that the other party's brows were frowned, and his cheeks were slightly red, as if he couldn't suppress his cough after forcibly enduring it.

The white boy frowned: "Isn't the cold from before still not getting better?" ”

Itachi regained his indifferent expression: "The weather in Yuyin Village is not good, so it will be a little sad to breathe." ”

The white boy obviously didn't believe it, he turned his head: "Ghost shark? ”

"Mr. Itachi has always been in poor health, and this is not a matter of time and a half." As he spoke, the ghost shark turned his head to look into the empty distance, refusing to look at Itachi's pale face and the eyes on it that could still shock people even if he was sick.

"That's right." The white boy nodded slowly, and then said casually, "Then let's rest here for a day before we set off." ”

Itachi frowned slightly: "There is no need for this at all." ”

The white boy looked at the weasel and raised his chin slightly: "Wait until you don't cough before saying such things." ”

I don't know when it started, Bai Tongzi felt that he had an inexplicable very irritable affection for Itachi, he would feel very irritable when he looked at the other party's reckless appearance, and it would also make him very irritable when he saw the other party carrying a qiē and hiding it from Sasuke, and Itachi's appearance of not taking his life seriously would also make him feel very irritable.

In his eyes, Itachi's face always seemed to have a capital 'tired' on his face, which looked very unsightly.

"You're upset?" Itachi looked at the white boy.

The white boy has more and more affection for him, and this realization makes him feel very happy.

Bai Tongzi turned his head and picked up the cloth on the table with an expressionless face to wipe the rain in his hand: "I probably think that there is a teammate who is dragging his feet, so it is very annoying." ”

The figure of the white boy was reflected in the dark eyes, and then the warm eyes were slightly curved, and the weasel said softly: "Really? ”

……

There were two thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys fighting in the vast martial arts arena, the sound of swords colliding and the sound of performing ninjutsu sounded from time to time, and there was a circle of teenagers about the same age as the two on the field, and they all looked at the arena seriously with a bright light in their eyes, but no one made a noisy sound.

Dou stood on the sidelines and carefully observed the two people on the field, the round lenses reflected the light, he lowered his head from time to time to write something, until one of the parties on the field fell he stopped the pen in his hand and put the notebook away.

He walked over to the winning boy and pushed his glasses: "Sasuke, congratulations, it's getting easier and easier to win." ”

Sasuke put the knife into the sheath with an expressionless face and said coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Orochimaru-sama is waiting for you in the room."

"Hmm." Sasuke didn't even look at his fallen opponent and walked out of the arena with a blank face.

He had been at Orochimaru's base for almost three months, and during these three months, all aspects of the young man's body had grown rapidly, he had grown much taller than when he first arrived, and at the same time he had lost a lot of weight, and his face, which was still a little green, had retreated from immaturity, revealing clearer edges and corners, and with it grew rapidly his indifference, as if nothing could arouse his interest except to become stronger, and no one could enter his eyes.

Looking at Sasuke's straight back, he couldn't help but recall the appearance of the helpless young man standing at the door of the base with a lonely face, and now it is probably impossible to see the word fragile on Sasuke's body.

Sasuke grew up really fast, and before the injury was all healed, he began to train strictly, drugs, curse marks, endless confrontations, these are the things that Sasuke has to face every day, even if he asks too much, he can force himself to accept, as if as long as he can become stronger, he is willing to throw away a qiē for it.

Dou hooked the corners of his mouth and watched Sasuke walk step by step into the dark corridor, until Sasuke's figure disappeared, he quickly followed with what he was holding.

The door opened, and Sasuke, who had come out of the darkness, stepped into the light.

Orochimaru looked at the visitor: "Sasuke, you're here." ”

He leaned back in his chair, his hands resting weakly on the back of the chair, and three months had passed, and Orochimaru's hand still hadn't found a solution.

Sasuke stood opposite Orochimaru with a cold face: "What are you looking for me to come over?" ”

Looking at the information sent to him, Orochimaru nodded: "You're getting stronger and stronger, Sasuke, it's good." As he spoke, he raised his chin to the table with bottles and cans, and said in a low voice, "See those things?" ”

The wide table top is filled with all kinds of instruments, colorful liquids are churning bubbles in transparent containers, and at the front of the table is a row of small transparent glass bottles, which contain an aqua blue liquid, which is even clearer and more translucent in the light.

Already accustomed to Orochimaru's tricks, Sasuke's face did not change: "What are those?" ”

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke, his golden snake eyes showed an excited light, and his hoarse voice always seemed to tempt people to do bad things: "Those are things that can change your physique, they can not only make you more accustomed to the spell mark, but also reduce the burden of the spell mark on the body, and make your body stronger." ”

Sasuke lifted his chin and looked at something in front of him, "Really?" ”

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke and chuckled lowly, "Of course." ”
