Chapter 36: The Waterfall of Truth
After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge put an end to the attempt of the Earth Country to capture Konoha again, the protracted Third Shinobi War finally came to an end.
However, the end of the war did not mean that peace was restored to the ninja world.
First, the Konoha Tailed Beast suddenly went berserk, the four-tailed and nine-tailed attack Konoha, the four generations of Hokage and his wife both fell to save the village, and Konoha who had just breathed from the war was once again greatly injured, and the advantage brought by the victory of the war was lost.
Later, a man who called himself Payne was born with the legendary reincarnation eye, and at the first stop in front of the world, he captured the eight-tailed human pillar force in one fell swoop, and Lei Ying was furious, leading the army to chase and intercept, disturbing the chickens and dogs in the north.
"Damn! Payne! Get the hell out of here! ”
Thunder Shadow smashed a large hole in the sturdy wooden table in front of him with a punch, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out with anger, and the cloud ninjas could clearly see those earthworm-thick blood vessels beating exaggeratedly on their skin.
It's been three days, and Thunder Shadow has personally gone out to lead a brigade to cast a net on the sea to search for errands, and another brigade has been stationed to blockade the coast, so much so that he has been tossing and turning for so many days, let alone Payne, not even a single orange hair has been found. Originally, it was already a shame for the eight-tailed man Zhu Li to be arrested, but now it has become a great shame for Yunyin Village's prestige.
At this moment, they were only searching the coastline of the Land of Thunder and the coastlines of other small countries, if it weren't for Yun Shinobi around them, I am afraid that this impulsive and irascible Lord Thunder Shadow would have already reached out to the interior of these small countries in a hurry, and even more internal places - such as the Land of Fire.
[I'm afraid that the other countries are now guarding against us and the Paynes, and laughing at us with this as a laughing stock...... It's really boring]
Today, for the seventeenth time with his companions, Darui, who persuaded Thunder Shadow's impulsive thoughts, thought so.
And Thunder Shadow is not the only one who is in a bad mood at this moment, Nagato, who is far away in the Land of Rain, is also like a dog in his heart.
Pieces of white paper flew into the dark cavern from the heavy rain outside, condensing into a blue-purple haired young woman behind Heavenly Dao Payne.
Payne didn't look back, and asked with a grim expression, "Xiao Nan, do you know who is impersonating?" ”
"Sorry, Payne, I didn't find it." Xiao Nanyan said apologetically.
"I know who did it, and I guess only that person in this world can fake your identity."
Payne and Xiao Nan turned their heads sharply, and at some point a guy wearing the same red cloud and black robe as they did, wearing a vortex mask, leaned against the cave wall with his hands around him.
Facing the cold gaze of the two, the masked man spread his hands: "Hawkers, don't look at me with that kind of vigilant look, we're also companions, aren't we?" You have to trust each other. ”
"If it's a companion, don't suddenly appear behind you quietly. No one trusts a companion who is mysterious all day long! Xiao Nan said coldly.
"Okay, I got it." The masked man lazily half-raises his arms.
"Without further ado, who is the impersonator?" Payne said impatiently.
"Who else? The only one who can have the same power as you is the 'Demon King' of Konoha! ”
Looking at the two people on the other side, who didn't know whether to be calm or shocked and silent, the masked man said to himself, "That kid, it's a monster even more terrifying than my Uchiha Madara!" ”
……
Time goes back to three days ago on Turtle Island, the real waterfall.
Boom la la la......
The waterfall in front of you is not as spectacular as "flying down 3,000 feet", of course, it is not even an island, it is just a huge turtle shell, and it is rare to have a waterfall.
But Tianwei didn't care, after all, they didn't come for tourism in the first place.
"The goal has arrived ~ the cultivation has begun~"
“……”
Ignoring the octopus in front of him who raised his right hand to make a hook gesture, Tianwei turned his head to the bell beside him and asked, "How is it?" Need a break? ”
The little girl shook her head excitedly, and her double ponytails swayed happily, looking like she couldn't wait for the next cultivation.
"Ahh Tianwei gently pushed the bell on the back, "That octopus is your teacher next, go over and say hello to him!" ”
"Hmm!"
The bell answered, walked up to Kirabi, and bowed very obediently.
"My name is Suzu Haneda, please, please advise!"
Are you too nervous to bite your tongue?
It's much better than when I was a child, although my appearance hasn't changed much...... The latter sentence must not be spoken!
"Yo~"
However, as Tianwei expected, Kirabi did not give any normal response, but reached out and clenched his fist at Suzu.
"Huh?"
Looking at Suzu with a bewildered look, Kirabi said
"Put your fist against mine, and watch the rhythm!"
"Okay, okay!"
Hey, I'm biting my tongue again, how do you keep the rhythm like this?
Fortunately, Kirabi didn't care, and when Suzu's little hand clenched his fist and Kirabi's fist together, Kirabi withdrew his fist, pointed to the waterfall behind him and sang: "Sit in that place ~ face this real waterfall ~ defeat your true self ~ oh also!" ”
Suzu followed Kirabi's finger and noticed that there was a small pool in front of the waterfall facing the middle of the waterfall.
"That's right, that's the place. According to my father's information, this place is known as the Waterfall of Truth. Tianwei patted Suzu's head, looked at Kirabi, and asked knowingly, "Is this how to control the tailed beast here?" ”
"Of course ~ not anymore ~ It's not that time yet! Baguya Road ~ Kong Noa Road ~ " Kirabi raised a finger and shook it: "so, boy, you~are~ Too young, too simple Tucson broken~"
"Before I say this, pay attention to the capitalization at the beginning...... No, I mean there is no English in this world! ”
Ignoring Tianwei's complaints, Kirabi turned his head to the bell: "Sit over there~ Close your eyes~ you will see ~ true yourself ~"
"Over there? Good! ”
Suzu finally didn't bite her tongue this time, jumped up slightly, and landed in the middle of the water, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes very seriously.
……
In the Hokage's office, Uchiha Kazushi and Nara Shikaku, two of Konoha's best thinkers, were sitting face to face in front of a chessboard, looking at the anxious situation on the chessboard without saying a word, contemplating their next move.
The three Hokages sat on the sidelines and watched the battle, occasionally taking a sip from their teacups, but more so focusing on the chessboard. Although he did not participate in the game, this does not mean that his attention is not as good as that of the two players, and while watching, he puts himself in the shoes of both and begins to think about the next move.
A star is good at attacking, and wave after wave of offensive seems to be ready to swallow the opponent at any time; Lu Jiu is good at defending, and the defense of one ring after another keeps the seemingly shaky chess game solid.
This game is nearing its end, but it is still unknown who will win or lose, and the eyes of the three generations have never left the chessboard.
In the end, after holding the opponent's offensive, a laurel horse jumped through the gaps in the opponent's line and completed a concise and efficient counterattack.
Lu Jiu smiled slightly: "General! ”
Yixing sighed regretfully: "Tsk! Careless! ”
The third generation lit the pipe, knocked it in his mouth, and took a deep breath: "In this case, the record between you is 55 wins, 54 losses and 12 draws, and one star is temporarily at a disadvantage." Hehehehehe......"
"Damn! Lu Jiu, let's do it again! I'm going to equalize this time! ”
"Don't, it's troublesome!" Lu Jiu simply refused.
"Hehehe, don't worry, one star, there will be time to decide the winner in the future." The third generation leaned back on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "Let's take a rest first, I see that you all have hot brains playing chess, let alone the two of you playing chess directly." ”
Yixing was still a little reluctant to say something, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Bang! Bang! ”
The three Hokage took the pipe from his mouth and said, "Come in!" ”
"Yes!" The ninja outside the door opened the wooden door and walked in quickly, "Hokage-sama, this is an urgent message from Yunyin Village!" ”
"Okay, I see, let's put it over there!"
"Yes!"
When the ninja put the deciphered documents on the table and turned to close the wooden door, Miyo's fingers tapped on the table: "Seal off this room for the time being, and no one will be allowed to enter without my order!" Oh, and don't forget the soundproofing! ”
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, several of the shadows who were hiding in the shadows scattered one after another, and set up an enchantment around the office.
Only then did the three generations pick up the document, and smiled at Yixing before reading it: "Tianwei, this kid is really not peaceful as soon as he comes out of the village, and the ninja world is not peaceful." ”
"The child still gets into trouble when he grows up, and the more he gets into trouble...... Yixing raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I knew that I should have taught him a good lesson ten years ago." Lu Jiu, don't relax your son's discipline, and when the time comes, you will cause trouble everywhere. ”
"Don't worry, one-star senior, it's good that kid can have one-tenth of Tianwei's ability, and if he is in trouble, he can't be provoked. Besides, educating children is also a troublesome thing! ”
One star: "It's even more troublesome after you get into trouble." ”
"Hahahaha......"
After a burst of laughter, the three of them looked at the documents in the hands of the three generations.
"Huh? This is...... The task entrusted by Thunder Shadow? Track down Payne and defeat him to rescue Kirabi...... S-Class Mission? The third generation put down the documents in his hand, picked up his pipe again, and looked at the two people who were also surprised, "It seems that Lei Ying is planning to break the jar and break it, and he even disregarded the prestige of Yunyin Village to issue commissions to other ninja villages, and it doesn't matter if these villages will covet Yao...... What do you guys think? ”
"Except for the two of us and orange water, it is estimated that no one knows the secret of Tianwei's reincarnation eye!" Lu Jiu and Yixing glanced at each other, and then said together: "Take it first, and then send a few shinobi to search in the territory of the Fire Country, anyway, you will definitely not find it." ”
