Chapter 39: Checkmate
No longer caring about these dead guys, Yuzo's eyes were fixed on the fleeing mist ninja. He hadn't gotten the information he wanted so far, and these guys would be good targets.
After grabbing a mist ninja, Yuzo asks for some of the information he wants. These mist ninjas were ordered to hunt down a fugitive and chased them all the way here, and there were indeed only two special ninjas they were chasing, and the target of the pursuit was not an ordinary prisoner in the general sense.
This person is not an unknown person in the original Hokage, the elder brother of the ghost lamp Mizutsuki, the ghost lamp full moon. Known as a genius in the world of ghosts, he is proficient in using seven ninja swords, and he is a person who has a scroll that summons seven ninja swords, and one of the seven swords of the fog ninja.
What about the knife this guy is holding? Yuzo directly let go of this unlucky mist ninja, let him escape and ignore it, and checked his barren memory.
Forget it, it seems to be a guy who is seriously injured and about to die, so there is nothing to worry about.
According to the information of the Fog Shinobi, they found that this ghost light full moon should be hiding in this town. With the strength of his injuries and the exertion of crossing the sea, it is impossible for him to leave the town and continue to run, in which case he will be really powerful.
The town is large, but many of them are deserted.
Yuzo went straight to the abandoned dock warehouse near the sea, which was very lively when the land of water was not cut off from the outside world, but now it is a dilapidated abandoned area that is not used. He felt that the ghost lantern full moon should be hiding here, you must know that this person has the ability to hydrate, and it will be easier to borrow this ability to escape if you are close to the sea.
Mist Shinobi should have wanted this too, so he didn't know where he was hiding, and he never found out. Of course, it can't be ruled out that this person is not in this town at all, and Mist Shinobi's judgment will not be completely correct.
Releasing the perception line, the rain hides in this place and searches carefully.
Just as he swept to a dilapidated water tank at the door of the abandoned warehouse, he sensed something was wrong.
There is some water in this tank, and there are a lot of debris and all kinds of dirty substances, which emit a foul smell. Of course, Yuzo doesn't mean to say that these are abnormal, these are actually normal. The abnormal problem is that the water does not seem to have any problems, but in the perception of the perception line, it is very different from ordinary water.
It's not like real water.
Slowly walking into the water tank, Yuzo waved his hand to split this thing with a monochrome thread, trying to see if there was really a problem.
"Stop!" Just as Yuzang was about to make a move, the stagnant water in the tank changed, began to rotate and flow, and made a very unscientific sound.
Yuzo knew he had found his target.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the perception line could detect such an abnormality that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, he would not have been able to imagine that this so-called genius was actually hiding in such a foul-smelling sewage. It's not much different from jumping into a dung pit and hiding, right? I don't know how the ghost lantern full moon endures without making a trace of movement.
In fact, those fog ninjas were also very cautious, and when they saw this tank of sewage, they stirred it with a wooden stick a few times, and they didn't notice anything before leaving.
A humanoid face gradually took shape, and the face, which looked deformed everywhere and seemed to be a build-up of mucus, opened its mouth and asked, "Is it the dark part of Konoha?" Looks like those idiots have been dealt with? ”
"Ghost Lantern Full Moon?" Although Yuzo had already confirmed the identity of the other party, he still verbally reprimanded him.
"It's me, I'm the full moon of the ghost lamp." The body and face of the ghost lamp full moon gradually solidified, his body was covered with all kinds of stains from the water, and his tattered clothes carried an unpleasant stench. But all this is as if it doesn't exist, he doesn't have the slightest discomfort, is it because he closes his sense of smell?
"By the way, why are you Konoha shadows looking for me? Although I know a lot about the internal affairs of the fog ninja, I won't say that there is no benefit, not to mention that my brain memory is getting worse and worse now. The ghost lamp full moon climbed out of the water tank and said: "Those guys are afraid that I will leak some important information, but they have painstakingly given me enough poison, and my brain memory is very blurry now, and my body can't last long."
"Is that so?" Yuzang asked, "Since they're all dying, what are you going to run?"
"Hey, it's better to die than to live! Even if I can only live for one more second, I am willing to continue to work hard for this second. "The body of the ghost lamp full moon has completely turned into a normal state, and his face is very pale. His appearance bears some resemblance to his younger brother Shui Yue, and he also has a mouth full of sharp teeth. However, there was no abnormal emotion in his eyes, relaxed and calm.
But there is one thing that makes Yuzo a little concerned, his body has been shaking abnormally. It's not a natural reaction to the cold, it's a weird feeling.
"By the way, how did you find me? The gang searched here for several laps but couldn't find me. After tidying up the dirt on his body, the ghost lamp full moon asked with curiosity.
"I have the ability to perceive." Yuzo replied.
"That's it!" The ghost lamp full moon looked a little satisfied after getting the answer. Those fog ninjas who chased him belonged to the characters who were thrown out to Konoha for Konoha ninjas to kill, and they were not equipped with relatively rare perceptual ninjas. He's also a decoy, deliberately released just to find a reasonable reason to send these misty ninja to death.
Although it was uncomfortable to be used, as he had said before, he wanted to live one more second if he could live one more second. Life is so good, it's always earned.
"Aren't you a genius of the Kirist Shinobi? How did it get to this point? Did you run away to assassinate Mizukage too? Yuzang asked, he was actually really a little curious, he was not familiar with this character at all, he only knew that it was Shuiyue's brother, and he was a genius and that's it.
"That's not alright, I'm not a fool to run around and do such a thankless job, that's what a brainless guy would do if he doesn't kill it." The ghost lantern full moon showed some disdainful smiles, as if chatting with a friend, and said: "I don't really have anything to say about it, I can only remind you that it is better not to get involved in political struggles." Even if I really wanted to tell you, I can't remember a little bit now..."
"How long do you have to live?" Yuzo felt a little weird, he originally thought that there might be some battles after finding out this guy, but he didn't expect this ghost light full moon to know if it was because he was dying, or if it was like he said that the toxins in his body eroded his memory and turned into a harmonious and indisputable appearance.
"Maybe half an hour?" The ghost lamp full moon looked puzzled and thoughtful, and gave such an answer.
His face felt frighteningly white, like a legendary ghost.
"Can you still remember something? For example, is the current water shadow called Terumi Ming? Yuzo asked tentatively, he still wanted to get some useful information from this guy's mouth, he couldn't find him in vain.
"Terumi? I guess that's the name! Let me tell you, the new Mizukage is really a big beauty! If it weren't for her temper being a little irritable, I'd definitely do—" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and his eyes became a little dull and looked at Yuzang: "What did you just ask me for?"
"Uhh A generation of geniuses now has a memory that has become like this, can he hope to ask anything?
Yuzo didn't respond, and the ghost light full moon in this state didn't care. He sat on the ground and looked at the sea in the distance, muttering something in his mouth, and he couldn't hear it at all when Yuzo got closer.
If you talk to him again, he doesn't seem to hear him at all.
I can't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart, which can probably be explained by the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, the fate of ninjas always seems to be inescapable. This ghost light full moon was once a powerful ninja with infinite beauty, but now it has become like this in the last part of its life due to the effects of injuries and poison.
Sigh and don't care about this guy who has completely fallen into dementia.
The mission is over, and he should return to Konoha at this time.
