Chapter 41: Desire
"How can people compare ...... monsters" Uchiha Masa, who was in his 20s, muttered, subconsciously lowering his voice.
Uchiha Mitsugeru is angry and funny: "As long as the willpower is strong enough, anyone can do it." ”
"Cut," the Uchiha youth pouted, "I know that Brother Manmao said this because you have a special admiration for him, but it's not a matter of willpower at all. ”
"Yes~Yes~" The mouth was casually perfunctory, and the Uchiha Manshige looked at the motionless figure in the dark in the distance with complicated eyes, although it was so far away, under the excellent eyesight of the Uchiha clan, the magnificent patterns in the man's eyes were still clearly visible.
It is not a shame to worship a strong person younger than himself, but to witness a once glorious name fall like a meteor, but it has to make Man Mao feel emotional.
Dissatisfied with his partner's perfunctory tone, Uchiha Masaa opened the conversation: "At the beginning, there were many admirers of Makoto-sama who imitated his practice and practiced without sleeping at night, but some of them gave up after persisting for a long time, while others who could overcome the problem of lack of sleep with willpower were also ordered to give up this cultivation method not long after. ”
As he said these words, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the Uchiha Masa, proving that this young man who joined one of Uchiha's most mysterious troops, "Goo", before he was less than 20 years old, was not as unreliable as he seemed:
"The ninjas in the family magic research room have studied and believe that this practice of being sleep deprived for a long time, or simply giving up sleep, will cause irreversible damage to brain cells - this kind of damage, even palm fairy magic can not do anything, and can only be alleviated by long-term fine-tuning of the human body."
"Of course, there are some people who firmly believe that there must be some way for Makoto-sama to overcome this damage - Brother Manmao, do you think he has been casting illusions on us? We watched him cultivate here, and his real body didn't know where to go to rest for a long time. ”
Man Mao shook his head silently, although he was facing the family's most powerful and mysterious Sharingan, as the elite of the family's premier troop "Gou", even if it was a kaleidoscope, it was impossible to deceive them with illusion for two whole years.
"Hey," after less than a minute of seriousness, Uchiha Masato stretched and revealed his true nature, "What the hell is going on with the guys in the next group?" Not yet? Or, Brother Man Mao, wait another hour, they don't come again, let's go. ”
Uchiha Mitsugeru smiled helplessly, it is true that the ninjas in the hook army are elite, but no matter who they are, in the face of a two-year idle mission, they will inevitably become scattered.
Especially when it was discovered that Makoto was ignoring them as monitors, I heard that some people in the other groups would even talk to Makoto about ninjutsu cultivation during their missions.
Sometimes, Makoto will give an answer, and the answer is often to the point.
It is not uncommon for guys like the next group to be late, as well as to leave early for political proposals.
But Masaya is just talking, with Mangeru's character, he won't agree to it anyway, and this point, Uchiha Masa, who has been partnered for a while, is also very clear in his heart.
After a moment of silence, a guy like Masa, who couldn't stand the quietness, picked up another topic: "Brother Manmao, what kind of ability does [Jizo] have?" During this time, I have listened to him a lot. ”
"I don't know, it's probably an auxiliary ability that is good for observation and research...... Why do you ask this? Man Mao asked a little strangely.
"There's no harm in remembering a little more information," the politician said casually, paused, and added, "What if one day, the family sends us to test him?" ”
"Whether that man has gone crazy or not, I want to know very, very much......" Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the figure in the distance, his voice trembling slightly.
Tempting? Uchiha Mitsugeru was silent when he heard this, between the family and Makoto, this delicate relationship cannot last forever, the current situation is a balance reached under the wrestling of multiple forces, will he and his partner beside him become the fuse to break this balance?
The two watchers fell silent, and after another ten minutes, two more ninjas in the same attire appeared beside them.
"Sorry, sorry, some things are a little delayed." The man at the head said.
Man Mao nodded, two years is too long, and now, even the above is beginning to turn a blind eye, and it is just his own principle to complete the task seriously, and there is no need to use it to ask others.
After saying a few more words, Man Mao and Zheng handed over and left.
Before leaving, Man Mao couldn't help but glance at Makoto, who was still standing.
You, who were once extremely dazzling and extremely strong, have you really fallen?
That pinnacle that countless people look up to, am I also qualified to touch? Even if it falls to pieces in the next moment?
Like altitude sickness, Uchiha Mitsushige couldn't help but feel a lack of oxygen, dizziness and thirst.
Are you crazy or not, and so am I...... I'm so eager to know.
Uchiha ...... Honest.

Returning to the village from the remote valley, it was already the second half of the night, and the village was quiet, and it was also true that this guy didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and there were only a few rules to follow, such as the destructive ninjutsu test would be conducted outside the village, as for the specific location outside the village, no one could predict.
In the past two years, Man Mao has followed Makoto to run through the mountains and forests near Konoha, and sometimes Makoto runs too far and falls into cultivation, even Qingxi will give up looking for it, and can only wait for one to three days when he thinks about it and goes home.
In this case, the time and route of the return of these people who hooked up the troops are even more irregular.
"Then, Zheng, let's separate here."
"Oh, Brother Man Mao, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
At the intersection in front of the village, Man Mao watched his young partner go away before jumping on the wall and preparing to go home.
"Who? Who's there? Suddenly, Mitsumo half-lifted the kunai and faced a dark corner with extreme vigilance.
"It's me." A plain and gentle voice came, and the ninja in purple uniform slowly stepped out of the shadows and greeted politely, "Hello, Manmaosang, Gui'an." ”
"So it's you......" Man Mao slowly put away the kunai, but still frowned, and said, "It's so late, and you're still sneaking around in the station, which doesn't meet the rules of the family." ”
"I'm sorry, I was negligent, I thought this place was about to leave the family, so I can break the rules a little." As a big family, the rules of the Uchiha are extremely strict, among them, within the family, no matter what the reason, no stealth can be used, and the range of activity of the hidden pile must not exceed ten meters, this is to prevent excessive internal friction and enemy infiltration. So, the secret mission argument didn't work, and the person who came gave another explanation.
"Oh......" Man Mao obviously trusted this person very much, he stood up straight, nodded in greetings to the man, the man smiled and nodded in return, ready to pass by Man Mao.
However, Mitsumo is a ninja who takes the seriousness of his mission as his principle, and he suddenly realizes that the ninja next to him is ten times more serious than him, and it is impossible for a slight violation due to negligence to appear on the other party.
"Wait a minute!" Man Mao shouted loudly.
The man stopped earnestly, and politely turned his whole body towards Man Mao.
Man Mao shouted in a low voice: "It's not that I doubt you, but ...... For a routine check, please hand me your ninja bag, scrolls, and weapons, and follow me to the defense point over there. ”
The corners of the visitor's charming eyes twitched, he lowered his eyes, and sighed, "I'm sorry......"
In the next moment, Man Mao felt a cold sensation penetrate his heart from behind, and before he could subconsciously bite open a small switch tied to the inside of his molar, the coolness spread from that point like a flood, robbing him of the strength to support his body.
There was an unfinished sigh in his ear: "...... I didn't want to kill you. ”
