"It seems like a long time ago to travel with you like this."

Leaving Konoha Village, Funaka and his party stayed in a fairly prosperous town in the Land of Fire, along with Shiran.

It was certainly a faux pas for Bai Lan to break into the Hokage's conference room that day, but considering the status of these elders in Konoha Village, Bo Feng Shuimen, who had already been tempered by the advisory group in this regard, did not pursue anything further.

Compared with Bai Lan, who just volunteered to be Zhou Jianwen's guard, those members of the advisory group can be called unscrupulous in the true sense.

Not to mention the secret meeting between Bo Feng Shuimen and Zhou Jian Min, those two old men dared to break into the meeting between the village leaders to discuss important matters without permission, as if the entire Hokage Building was already their territory.

Look at Bai Lan, who is actually somewhat restrained in this regard, it can be called cute.

Just like what Zhou Jian said that day, Now Konoha can't spare people to protect her for a long time; And Bo Feng Shuimen is really worried about Zhou Jianwen's safety, and he is afraid that she will come at this time - although the people around Zhou Jianwen are not weak, if they are enemies with the people of the "Xiao" organization, it is always worrying.

And Bai Lan's willingness to come forward to protect Zhou Jian Wen at this time is really a good thing for Bo Feng Shuimen.

Although Bai Lan has not gone out on a mission for a long time now, his strength is obvious to all - a long absence from a mission does not mean that his strength is weakened, who knows if this leader of the "root" has practiced in a place that others can't see?

However, Bo Feng Shuimen also knew that there might be a little disagreement between Zhou Jianwen and Bai Lan, so after hearing Bai Lan's suggestion, his first reaction was to ask Zhou Jian Min, who was the object of protection, for advice.

And Zhou Jianwen's response was-

"I didn't expect that Jian Wen would actually agree to my request," wearing a kimono that was quite easy to move, Bai Lan smiled at Zhou Jian Wen who took the initiative to speak next to him, and responded, "I thought Jian Wen wanted to throw me away."

At this moment, Funaka Minu did not wear the cumbersome kimono he had been wearing in Konoha, but changed into a loose navy blue long-sleeved sweater and a pair of white cotton trousers, and even the shoes were short boots for easy movement rather than clogs to match the kimono.

This bright and solemn sea-blue sweater makes Zhou Jianwen, who has always been in everyone's impression of a long-term illness, look much better; She didn't tie her long black hair into a bun and match it with hairpin jewelry, which was expensive at first glance, but tied her hair up high and tied it into a ponytail, which also made her look much younger.

It's not that dressing up like this doesn't match Zhou Jianwen's age in this world, on the contrary, Bai Lan feels that such a vigorous appearance is suitable for Zhou Jianwen in his heart.

After all, Zhou Jianwen's appearance does not match her age in this world, and she has always maintained the appearance of being in her early twenties; But Zhou Jianwen didn't know what kind of mentality she was in, she looked bad because of her long-term illness, and she liked to wear some low-key kimonos, which also made her look more ......

Mature and steady.

Although this is also in line with Zhou Jianwen's age and style of acting in this world.

But this is only for people who don't know the nature of Zhou Jian Min, and after knowing Zhou Jian Wen for so long, how could Bai Lan not know what Zhou Jian Wen is like?

The two walked together on the town's commercial streets, followed by Veneto, who was absolutely impossible to leave Zhoujian Min, and the three of them, who were as good-looking as they had been years ago, once again attracted the attention of other passers-by.

Hearing Bai Lan's words, which he didn't know whether to complain or whether there was something else, Zhou Jian Min immediately showed a shallow smile, "If you really want to follow, who can stop you?" ”

The actions of the "Root" Department have always been independent of the control of the Hokage and the Shadow Department, not to mention Bai Lan, whose strength has reached the quasi-shadow level or even the shadow level, even if the ordinary members of the "Root" Department are out on a mission, how many people can find out?

"Jian Wen's words don't sound like complaints," Bai Lan naturally knew that Zhou Jianwen's words meant something, but she was not surprised by her tone with a gun and a stick.

After all, it's in their ...... Or rather, after Zhou Jianwen came to this world, it has become the norm.

Over the years, Bai Lan has done a lot of things in secret, and there are many people who need to hide Zhou Jianwen.

But with Zhou Jianwen's sensitivity and her methods, even if she rarely formally interferes in the important affairs of the village, and only willingly becomes the hidden brain of Bo Feng Shuimen, there are also things he does that Tai can't hide from Zhou Jianwen's eyes.

Zhou Jianwen would turn his face with him because of this, and Bai Lan felt very normal.

But what is there about it?

Even if they have their own thoughts, their final purpose will not change for any reason.

Besides, in the past two worlds, Zhou Jian Wen rarely had a small temper in front of him, and now if he was angry at what he did, it would be a funny thing for Bai Lan - rather, he was actually more happy to see Zhou Jian Wen like this.

"It's more like you're burying me."

"I'm just trying to get things done."

Worried that this was not the real Zhou family but a commercial street where people came and went, Zhou Jian Wen also lowered his voice and said indifferently, "Even Kakashi's injury can be obtained at the same time as the water gate, what else can't you do with Lord Bailan?" ”

Although Zhou Jianwen said this, she and Bai Lan both knew in their hearts that where did they get the news at the same time as Bo Feng Shuimen?

It is clearly one step ahead of the wave feng shui gate.

Otherwise, how could he have made that arrangement and rushed to the conference room where they were that day in time to make such a request?

"Hmm...... Actually, there are still some," Bai Lan pretended to meditate, and then smiled at Zhou Jianwen who was frowning and looking at him, "Let Jianwen not be angry with me anymore...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it right away. ”

Bai Lan's words made Zhou Jianwen tug the corners of his mouth, but he still didn't smile because of this.

"How dare I be angry with Lord Bailan," she said, and suddenly frowned and looked at a certain place in the distance, "I'm just afraid that Lord Bailan will look at me unpleasantly, and one day he will quietly wipe me away, and afterwards he can cry a handful of snot and tears to mourn me." ”

This was obviously a bit explicit, and even Veneto, who was standing behind Zhou Jianmin, not only frowned, but then subconsciously glanced at Bai Lan, for fear that he would immediately reveal the appearance of wanting to eat people.

But the reality is exactly what Veneto imagined.

Bai Lan was not only angry because of this, but even laughed more affectionately than usual, making people wonder if he had eaten something badly, "Jian Wen is too careful, this kind of thing can't happen." ”

"Oh? Really? Zhou Jianwen looked incredulous, then glanced at Veneto, and after the other party nodded, he walked in the other direction, also a dense wood, and walked unhurriedly, "Since you have said so to Lord Bailan, then I will let go of this for the time being." ”

The three of them walked from the mall to a winding path, and then followed the path directly into the woods.

"Actually, I don't force you to be my help," In this forest where it is difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south, Zhou Jian Wen walked straight to a certain place as if he could see a clear path.

"I just hope that Lord Bailan, you don't become an obstacle to my mission."

Hearing Zhou Jianwen's rare sincere words, Bai Lan was stunned at first, and then immediately laughed.

The smile on his face was as bright as a clear sky, unadulterated by the slightest impurity; In the eyes of Veneto on the side, he looked as if he had heard a funny joke at the moment, as if he had won his heart with the words of Zhou Jian Min.

Maybe it's really both.

"It's great that you're thinking that, dear Jianwen," said Bailan, leaning down slightly and whispering her heart in Zhou's ear, "because that's what I think too." ”

At this moment, the distance between Zhou Jian Wen and Bai Lan can be said to be within walking distance, and in this wood, which is so quiet that even the sound of the wind does not exist, they can clearly feel each other's heartbeats and breathing in their ears.

"Oh? Really? ”

Not blushing because of the sound of the other party's breathing that was close at hand, Zhou Jianwen raised his hand slightly and put it in front of Bai Lan, and then pushed him away while the other party showed a stunned expression, and then showed him a smiling expression.

"Then I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement, Lord Brand."

Pure black and light purple opposite, Zhou Jianwen's black eyes and Bai Lan's vine purple eyes reflected each other's figures, just as the silent Veneto was muttering in his heart, a burst that made everyone present feel extremely familiarThe sound of explosions sounded not far away.

——BOOM！！！

It's a sound that is absolutely unheard in a ninja duel in this world, whether it's a detonation charm or a detonationFrying clay doesn't get the same effect.

Zhou Jianwen, who was originally making eye contact with Bai Lan, didn't care what the man on the other side was planning, and directly turned his head and looked at Veneto beside him. And Veneto, who had been paying attention to Zhou Jianwen's every move from beginning to end, immediately nodded when he saw this.

"It seems that Jianwen, you finally can't bear it anymore," Bai Lan, who was still talking to Zhou Jianwen just now that the two sides had reached an agreement, bowed slightly, and made a gentleman's salute to Zhoujian Wen that was invisible in this world, "According to our agreement, I will not disturb any of your next actions." ”

Zhou Jianwen, who was quite confident in her arrangement, was not in a hurry to rush over, she looked at Bai Lan in front of her expressionlessly, who didn't know what she was thinking, and quietly waited for the other party's next words.

"But let me watch your performance in the grand seat, you shouldn't refuse this point, right?"

Zhou Jian Wen looked at him again for a few seconds, and the warm afternoon sunlight fell on the leaves that were enough to cover the sky, and also left a mottled shadow and almost unpalpable residual heat on Zhou Jian Wen and Bai Lan's bodies.

Their eyes finally arrived at each other's eyes through the sunlight, the shadows of the trees, and the dust that floated in the sunlight, and after a short but long silence, it was Zhou Jian Wen who took the lead in a mocking smile.

"Are you taking me for a joke?"

Bai Lan was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Zhou Jian Wen to be so hearted because of his ridicule, but before he could say anything more, she heard Zhou Jian Wen continue, "But if you really think so, it doesn't matter." ”

"It's just Bai Lan, there's one thing you have to remember."

Zhou Jian Wen smiled, although she was dressed casually at this moment, but Zhou Jian Wen's momentum was not lost at all to wearing the white sea in the previous worldThe time when the military uniforms and the heroic spirits stumbled to the end.

Bai Lan has never forgotten what kind of existence Zhou Jian Wen is.

Anywhere can be her battlefield if she wants to.

Years of forbearance do not mean that there are no measures, and being in the peaceful Konoha Village does not mean that she has been worn away from the momentum and brilliance that seems to be innate.

No matter what kind of background Zhou Jian Wen is in, no matter what she has experienced, she is still the original Zhou Jian Min.

This will never change.

Facing Bai Lan, who was also smiling and replaced with a serious and serious smile, Zhou Jianwen did not take his eyes off the slightest, just looked directly into his eyes and said word by word:

"If you see others as pawns, you need to remember that you may be on top of a bigger chess game; If you see others as puppets, don't forget that you too are manipulated by fate. ”

Zhou Jianwen looked at the unchanging Bai Lan in front of him, and did not show the slightest emotion or flaw to him.

"If you see others as a play, then pray that you don't become a clown on the stage of life."

With that, she didn't care about Bai Lan's reaction to her words, and turned around and walked towards the place where the explosion sounded. It's just that she hadn't walked a few steps before she heard the person behind her ask her in a rare serious tone-

"So what kind of existence does Jian Wen think he is?"

According to her words, everyone is a chess piece on the chessboard called the world, everyone is a puppet held by fate, and everyone is an actor on the stage of life.

In that case, what position does she put herself?

"Me?"

Zhou Jianwen's footsteps did not stop, but there was a slight smile in his words. The smile is like the fragrance of flowers in the hollow, although it is not strong, but it is still there.

She tilted her head slightly, as if to glance at Veneto, and her faithful secretary ship, noticing Zhou Jianwen's gaze, also handed her dear Commander's lady a handful of weaponsTaxis |Knife.

Zhou Jianwen reached out and took the martial arts that she had specially asked the craftsmen of the Iron Country to tailor for herselfTaxis |knife, which he then hung on his waist.

Bai Lan just looked at her figure that was gradually about to disappear in the forest, the wide sweater could not hide her slender figure, and before she made a move, in addition to the elegance she had cultivated in the corpse soul world for a hundred years, she also had the awe-inspiring and aggressive aura of fighting thousands of battles in the void.

And just when Zhou Jianwen's figure was about to disappear from Bai Lan's sight, he also heard the other party's answer.

"My words are about the H-BF19 Port Commander who wants to tamper with other people's scripts, but can never escape his fate-"

She paused slightly, her voice almost dissipating into the wind in the woods.

"It's just a boat."

Bai Lan was stunned, and at this moment when he lost his mind, Zhou Jianwen's figure also disappeared into the dense woods in front of him, and after a while, even her footsteps were muffled by the sound of the wind and the roaring cannonball.

Leaving Bai Lan behind, Zhou Jian Min and Veneto made their way to the place where the artillery fire was concentrated, and then unexpectedly saw the scene they had envisioned.

Ninjutsu surrounded the two men in the fire cloud robes in the cannon ships of the two full fleets, and the dense cannon fire was relentlessly fired at the two men who were members of the Akatsuki organization.

"According to Lord Jianwen's instructions," seeing that Zhou Jianwen did not choose to break into the battlefield directly, or is now watching from the sidelines, and according to Zhou Jianwen's instructions, Veneto, who single-handedly arranged this battlefield, also reported softly beside Zhou Jianwen:

"The two fleets led by Hood and Tirpitz led them here after the aircraft carrier formation used reconnaissance planes to search for the 'Three Norths' group within the 'Akatsuki' organization."

Then I made dumplings for them.

After all, Zhou Jianwen's order from the beginning was very clear that she would not leave a living mouth - the most obvious point was that she asked Tirpitz and Hood, who used critical skills, to lead the team, and the ship girls who understood her mind naturally did not leave any spare strength when they attacked.

Clasp your left hand on that handTaxis |The inky knife of the knife ||The boat on the sheath looked at the battlefield in the distance, and the constant sound of gunsmoke and cannon was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Now the flying section and the horns are surrounded by the ship girls who share the joys and sorrows with her, live and die together; But since she came into this world, she hasn't fought the enemy so happily as she does today.

Because she couldn't let the people of Konoha find out that there was anything abnormal about the power under her name, she endured it in Konoha for many years.

Because the "Xiao" organization could not be aware of her variable, she endured it for a long time.

Now that the Akatsuki organization has finally begun to act as unscrupulously as she knew, she can also act according to her own temper and her own heart.

Fei Duan and Jiao didn't expect that they just went to the gold exchange house for a turn, and after they came out, they were targeted.

Originally, they were not very happy to pay attention to those useless people, but the problem was that the murderous aura of the other party was obviously aimed at them was too obvious, so in order not to reveal their whereabouts and the tasks to be completed later, they also followed the other party's invitation into the woods.

Anyway, in the eyes of Fei Duan and Kakudu, no matter what kind of intentions the other party had, it was impossible to kill them.

Anyway, they're all called "undead duos", aren't they?

But they didn't count what they thought was only one enemy, and they all had girls, but each of them was so bad that they almost thought that the twelve girls were Deidara's sisters.

It's not that they didn't think about fighting back, but the methods of attack and defense of these twelve people are really unheard of, even if the horns have already used the ground resentment, they have taken two hearts in an instant.

"Who's there?"

Blown to the ground, and the proud ninjutsu and spells could not be cast, just when Fei Duan and Kakura were holding back the fire in their stomachs, and at the same time looking at who these women were, they heard another sound from the bushes not far away.

- Is it possible that there are still reinforcements in the slot?

Fei Duan, who originally wanted to use a spell to kill these women, but didn't want to be able to get even half a step closer to them, let alone get any blood, looked confused, but the next second he saw a young woman walking towards them from the depths of the woods.

Wearing a bright navy blue long-sleeved sweater, pure white cotton trousers, and a high ponytail, this woman with black hair and black eyes didn't look like a ninja at all, but more like a young aristocrat who had nothing to do with the ninja world.

If you ignore the martial arts she is wearing||Taxis |Knives, and the murderous aura that emanates from all over the body.

And it was such a young woman, who was not the slightest surprised when she saw the land in front of her, which had become a mess in the battle between the two sides, and even showed a smile that was so gentle that the other flying section and the horn were a little displeased.

"I guess the two of you are the 'undead duo' of the "Akatsuki" organization, right?"

Zhou Jian Wen smiled at the two of them in a very gentle voice, but what she said next made Fei Duan and Jiao a little angry.

"I'm not in a good mood right now, so can I borrow two of you'll be able to use it?"
