Ninja School.

Tsunade, who was sorting out lesson plans in his office, heard footsteps next to him, and he knew who was coming without guessing.

"Boy, you're a little late today...... What's wrong with your face? Why is it so bad? ”

Tsunade turned his head and saw Shiraishi's pale face, and his whole person became extremely weak, and he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked him what happened.

"I ate something yesterday and broke my stomach."

Shiraishi didn't blink his eyes before he made up such words.

"It's not like eating a bad stomach." Tsunade sighed, walked over and patted Shiraishi on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "I can understand that young men and women live under the same roof, and I can understand that you are all teenagers. But you're a medical ninja, so you should know that a ninja's body also has limits, so let's be a little restrained. ”

“……”

"By the way, are the security measures in place? Before you get married, don't make someone's little girl's belly bigger. ”

Tsunade leaned into Shiraishi's ear and whispered to him, as if he was afraid that someone around him would eavesdrop.

But Shiraishi clearly saw the bad in Tsunade's eyes.

"Don't worry, Tsunade-sensei, I've been in good health."

"In other words, you did it anyway, right?"

“…… I'll complain to Hokage-sama about spreading rumors. ”

"You kid really don't know any sense of humor."

"It's true that I don't understand a sense of humor, but it has nothing to do with it."

Seeing Shiraishi's weakened and decadent face, Tsunade suddenly felt bored.

"But is it really okay for you to look like this? Would you like to take a break here? ”

To be honest, Shiraishi's current appearance is really worrying, whether he will suddenly pass out on the ground while working.

"Thank you for your concern, but it's not a big problem, I'll go to the classroom in a while."

Shiraishi thought about it, and also felt that Tsunade's worry was very necessary, the writing wheel eye that he encountered after using the Spiritual Transformation Surgery yesterday still made him palpitate when he thought about it, and the sequelae of the impact of the illusion caused his body to be weak since this morning.

"Then you have a good rest here, don't be reckless."

Tsunade didn't ask Shiraishi what he did yesterday to make it like this, everyone has secrets they don't want to share with others, including herself.

Seeing Tsunade leave, he was the only one left in the office.

Because of his physical weakness, Shiraishi lay down on a chair and closed his eyes and emptied his head.

About half an hour passed, and I felt much more comfortable than when I first arrived, so I slowly got up from my seat and walked towards the experimental class for training medical ninjas.

- After the experimental class ended, Shiraishi said hello to Tsunade and walked towards the outside of the ninja school, only to see Ruri waiting there at the gate of the school.

Standing there in a black tight-fitting ninja suit that showed off her beautiful figure, Shiraishi could be recognizable at a glance.

"Ruri, why are you here?"

Shiraishi walked over and asked, a little confused.

"Stop by and have a look, don't think about it."

Ruri glanced at Bai Shi's slightly pale face, and her tone didn't fluctuate much.

"That's going to have to be a long detour. Did you leave work so early today, though? ”

"I've got someone else to do the shift."

As he spoke, Liuli took out a thermos cup and threw it into Baishi's hand.

Shiraishi caught the thermos cup, and after unscrewing the lid, it was clean and drinkable hot water inside.

"Thanks, I'm feeling a little thirsty."

"Don't think about it, just don't pay attention to it and bring it out of the garrison."

Hearing Ruri's explanation, Shiraishi just smiled understandingly.

After taking a sip of hot water, he asked Liuli:

"Do you want to go back together now?"

He knew that Ruri was waiting for him at the gate of the ninja school at this time, thinking about his safety, and there was an indescribable warmth in his heart.

However, it is probably a little difficult to say that Liuli directly cares about herself.

Sometimes she's not very candid, either.

If it was Ayane, it would probably be serious, pretending to be innocent and saying something unexpected and provocative.

"Hmm."

Ruri didn't object either.

She was indeed worried about Shiraishi's safety, because Shiraishi's mental condition at the moment was indeed not good.

Even in the village, it is not completely safe in many cases.

She had been waiting here since Shiraishi came to work at the ninja school two hours ago.

Walking on the road with Baishi, Liuli suddenly remembered something and said softly:

"By the way, I went to the garrison during the day to check and re-read the information of each clan, but no matter what, I couldn't find a clansman with stronger writing wheel eye pupil power than me, as you said."

This sentence is not to be complacent, her understanding of the writing wheel is indeed more than that of most Uchiha people.

Even if you put aside the writing wheel, her physical skills, ninjutsu, and illusion are also first-class, especially physical skills and ninjutsu, and illusion is slightly worse.

If you want to find out the holder of the writing wheel eye who is far above her, even if you investigate the personnel intelligence of the security team in depth, Ruri has no clue.

"If you can't find it, you don't have to reluctantly look for it, I think the mastermind behind the scenes is not necessarily hidden in the village."

Shiraishi expressed his opinion.

"Not in the village?"

Ruri didn't quite understand the meaning of Shiraishi's words.

"What do you think of Mr. Shuomao's strength?"

Shiraishi didn't answer the rhetorical question

"Above me."

"What about the specific gap?"

"If I fight to the death, I will most likely die, and Mr. Shuo Mao will be seriously injured."

In this sentence, Liuli is not humble.

It's that her strength has now reached this level.

Shuo Mao's strength lies in the sword technique, as well as the incomparably fast instantaneous technique, which is invincible with the exquisite knife technique.

But because of this, Shuo Mao, who specializes in swordsmanship, lacks a lot of means to fight the enemy.

Ruri may be the most difficult type of Shuo Mao to deal with.

Ninja illusion has no flaws, the perfect all-round ninja.

With the instantaneous body of the body technique and the three-hook jade writing wheel eye, she can keep up with Shuo Mao's speed and nervous reactions, but due to the bonus of the knife technique, Liuli feels that she will suffer a lot in close combat.

However, she also has advantages that Shuo Mao does not have, and large-scale fire escape and mysterious illusions can also be used to restrict Shuo Mao's actions.

After Baishi heard this, he also nodded and said his opinion:

"The chakra revealed by that writing wheel eye, and the huge pressure it brought to me, are still above Mr. Shuomao. And this is just a contest of pupil power on the writing wheel, he is already far better than you, and in other aspects, I'm afraid he is only stronger than you. ”

"Really? There is indeed no such master in today's Uchiha, but isn't it too hasty to judge that this person is not among Konoha? ”

"Then think about it differently, if there really is such a master in the Uchiha clan in the village now, our secret is likely to be exposed long ago, and it is impossible to remain indifferent until now. After all, the other party has subordinates with strong infiltration capabilities, and our secrets cannot be concealed at all. ”

“……”

Ruri frowned.

"Since that white creature can be sensed by natural energy, it also means that the other party is not watching us until I study the natural energy. And the first contact was inadvertently noticed by Xiao. Immediately afterward, this strange white creature came to Konoha and infiltrated the land of the Uchiha clan...... The main messenger behind the scenes targeted Konoha, perhaps to spy on the Uchiha clan, and the operation had just started recently. As for Xiao's side......"

He sent the worm men to contact Xiao, and it was nearly a month ago.

The main messenger behind the scenes sent someone to monitor when Xiao began, and Shiraishi had no way of knowing.

But it's enough to judge that.

Uchiha ninja who is not in Konoha.

With the tailed beast, related to Mu Dun, the writing wheel eye pupil power above the glass, sent his subordinates to infiltrate the Uchiha clan to collect it.

These are the key messages to interpret the right intelligence.

Ruri apparently understands this as well.

But even with so much key information, it was still difficult for Ruri to tell which Uchiha ninja was the main messenger behind the scenes.

"Speaking of which, did the Uchiha have any ninjas who defected or left Konoha in the past?"

"For more than thirty years, Madara Uchiha has only been the only one."

Ruri gave this answer that seemed like a fantasy.

"This answer is really nonsense, Madara Uchiha died at the hands of the first Hokage after the battle in the Valley of the End, this is a well-known thing......"

A smile tugged at Shiraishi's face and shook his head.

But what he thinks in his heart is only known to him.

After all, it's not that there is no such probability, is it?

Mu Dun, tailed beast, writing wheel eye.

This is not the ninjutsu that Madara Uchiha fought in the first place, or the object of his control, or the power he himself holds.

Aren't all the conditions in place?

Seeing that Ruri was also in deep thought, he probably wondered whether the ancestor of the Uchiha clan was really dead.

Bai Shi reopened the thermos cup, took a sip of hot water and said with a smile: "Okay, don't show such a dull expression, no matter whether the other party is dead or alive, as long as you don't have anything to do with him." You also said that instead of guessing such useless things, it is better to spend all your time and energy on strengthening yourself, right? ”

"No, I'm thinking if he's really alive...... I'd love to see the legendary power that can open up the world. ”

Ruri clenched her fists.

Ninjas In the past, when the Uchiha clan was mentioned, the first thing that came to people's minds was not the writing wheel eye, but the name Madara Uchiha.

Because it's a purer symbol of power than the Sharingan.

And when the current ninjas mention the Uchiha, they don't think of a certain Uchiha ninja, but the Sharingan.

Liuli believes that this is the goal she wants to surpass in the future.

"It's really like your style, it seems that I was worried in vain just now."

"Are you looking down on me? And even if that old antique is alive, it is too old to move now. ”

"I didn't say that. Besides, this is only speculation, not conclusive evidence. ”

Seeing that Ruri was making trouble again, Shiraishi explained with a smile.

"Hmph."

Ruri turned her head, indicating that she didn't want to ignore him.

The sky was darkening, and the beautiful sunset was slowly sinking at the end of the forest to the west.

Shiraishi and Ruri walked along the road next to a river.

The weather in May is already warm, and the breeze blows, bringing some comfort and irritability from the heart.

The street lights on both sides of the path have been turned on, and from here, in the distance, there is the center of the village, and there is already a prelude to the bustling night market, and the lights are lit up one after another.

On this road, only Shiraishi and Ruri walked.

But on the banks of the river, there are ninja school children who have not yet returned home, and there are tirelessly playing ninja games.

Shiraishi, who saw this scene, stopped walking.

"What's wrong?"

Ruri also stopped and turned her head to look at his face.

"It's nothing, it's just that seeing them like this makes me a little nostalgic for the old days."

Shiraishi looked at the students playing ninja games on the embankment, and his face was filled with emotion.

In a trance, Shiraishi remembered something again.

"Anyway, the scene where we set off from the ninja school and then went home together is like really going back to our school days."

After Shiraishi said this, it also evoked Ruri's memories of the past.

Because her parents were businessmen all the year round and were often away from home, her childhood, and now her girlhood, Shiraishi played an irreplaceable role in her life.

In the past, when I was studying at the ninja school, it was indeed like what Shiraishi said, the two of them always went to school together and left school together, and they were almost inseparable every day.

"Why all of a sudden?"

"I'm thinking...... It would be nice if it would always be like this in the future. Because we're the best mates. ”

Shiraishi looked up at the sunset in the distance, and his face became gentler than usual under the rays of the setting sun.

When Liuli heard Baishi say this, she suddenly didn't feel good, and she always felt a little empty in her heart, as if she was missing something.

Is it just a partner?

"Hurry up, I'll have to ...... when I get back"

Ruri was about to speed up the pace of going home, but at this time, suddenly her palm was wrapped in something.

As a result, the body is unable to take a step forward, and it stops in place.

Liuli's expression was stunned, and she turned her head and lowered her head slightly.

It was a broad palm that belonged to a man.

Carefully and gently grasp her hand so that she cannot get out of control.

"Actually, a lot of times, I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing. But after I said that sentence just now, I thought about it carefully, if it was just a partnership, maybe it wouldn't be able to explain everything between us. How about it to become a more intimate relationship than a partner? ”

A calm smile appeared on Shiraishi's face, and he asked Ruri's opinion.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, go back."

Liuli's face was already slightly red, and she turned her head, although she said to go back, but when her palm was held, she was already at the disposal of Shiraishi.

"Let's go there and walk around, I should have enough time to leave work so early today."

"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, you are a wounded, you are in charge. As long as you don't catch a cold tomorrow. ”

Ruri turned her head away from looking at Shiraishi, but she looked like she was letting him decide.

Shiraishi felt a little strange, because after so many years of getting along with Ruri, it was the first time he had such an important initiative.

I was a little moved to tears.

"It's already May, how can you catch a cold? No problem. ”

His body wasn't that weak, and although it was true that the weather would get cooler at night than during the day, it wasn't a big problem as long as you paid attention.

Holding the palm of the glass tightly, the skin transmits the heat of each other's body to each other.

Shiraishi can clearly feel that Ruri's body has become very hot.

Holding Ruri's palm like this, Shiraishi led her towards the night center of the village, which was about to be lively.

Shiraishi could clearly see the obvious happy smile on Ruri's face.

At this moment, I don't know why, but a sense of guilt appeared in my heart.

In his mind, there might be another woman.

For himself, he may also be an extremely important 'partner'.

But today, I should belong to Liuli.

When I think about it, the guilt dissipates a little from my heart under self-comfort.

- The next day.

Shiraishi caught a cold.

Because I came back late last night, I came together this morning and found out that I had a cold.

He slept on the floor with a quilt on it, and his head was now groggy and his body was cold.

"Really, yesterday I kept saying it was okay, and it ended up like this. You're getting too bad. ”

Ruri was wearing civilian clothes at home, not wearing the black ninja outfit, so she knelt next to Shiraishi's floor and counted Shiraishi in an almost disgusted tone.

“…… I didn't expect it to end up like this...... Speaking of which, this is the first time I've had a cold......"

Shiraishi had no choice but to suffer this loss.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have strengthened my body last night.

But yesterday in that situation, if you honestly came back without doing anything, you would regret it even more.

Seeing that Ruri took care of herself so carefully, and even today's work was warped again, Shiraishi felt embarrassed at the same time, but also felt that it was not a bad thing to have a bad cold today.

"I've already sent someone to explain to Tsunade's side of Shinobi, so you can rest at home honestly today. I'll be here to protect you. ”

Ruri got up from the floor and walked to the side of the cabinet, where she rummaged through something and said to Shiraishi.

"I'm sorry for you. Actually, I don't think the cold is that serious, ...... in the afternoon."

"Resting at home honestly today. Do you want me to say it a third time? ”

Liuli made her voice heavier again with an expressionless face.

Shiraishi trembled and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Ruri took out a medicine bottle from the cabinet, took out a few pills from it, and prepared a cup of hot water.

"This is a cold medicine that you haven't officially put into the pharmaceutical market yet, but I didn't expect that after developing it, I would be the first user. How do you feel about your medicine? ”

“…… I don't want to make any judgments if I can. ”

Shiraishi was in a complicated mood and took the cold medicine he had developed.

◎

On the sea leading to the Land of Fire, a small boat squeezes through the waves and approaches the coastal port of the Land of Fire.

There were four people in the boat, and they were all ninjas from Konoha Village.

The leader of the team is a Konoha ninja wearing an upper ninja uniform, and the other three are wearing a middle ninja uniform.

This is a team led by the upper ninja, and the team members are three middle ninja configurations.

Even in Konoha Village, this belongs to the category of the elite squad.

Most squads are configured with one upper ninja paired with three lower ninjas, or one upper ninja, one middle ninja, and two lower ninjas.

This time, they went to the neighboring country of Wave to eliminate an illegal wandering ninja organization, which raided villages everywhere in the country of Wave, and was commissioned by the daimyo of Wave Country to send their team to deal with the illegal ninja organization in Wave Country.

For this situation, Konoha has long been accustomed to it.

Not to mention the period of the Great Ninja War, even after the war, small countries that lacked ninja power were often violated by wandering ninja organizations, and this kind of thing has long been common.

These wandering ninjas either became ninjas by chance, or they rebelled and engaged in various illegal profit-making activities.

For large countries, there is no need to take this kind of ninja organization to heart, and only small countries that have no power will be bothered by this kind of thing.

Konoha dispatched an elite team of one upper ninja and three middle ninjas, and after some hard fighting, this team successfully wiped out the wandering ninja organization, and now they are ready to return to the land of fire by ship.

Sitting at the bow of the boat, the leader Konoha Shinobu wore his black hair straight down and fell straight down to his waist.

He wears a forehead guard on his forehead and his eyes are pure white.

He is a shinobi from a separate family of the Hyuga family.

is called Hyuga Shingo.,Even in the Hyuga branch.,It's also a relatively powerful Shangnin.。

Because the sea area of the country of waves is shrouded in dense fog all year round, Hinata Shingo opens his eyes from time to time to observe the surrounding sea area and prevent some unexpected situations.

In his white vision, two kilometers ahead, five people approached here by boat.

The amount of chakra in these people's bodies is very small, and they can basically be judged as ordinary civilians, so there is nothing to fear.

And these people don't have any weapons on them, they only carry a little money.

Undoubtedly, ordinary civilians who went to the country of waves.

After a while, the hull of the five civilians approached.

Hinata Shingo and the other three Konoha Shinobi just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

When the hull of the ship passed accurately, suddenly the five people on the boat rushed at a rapid speed.

Almost only the afterimage could be seen, and the three Konoha shinobi let out a scream of pain, and they fell into the sea without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and lost their traces.

Hinata's face changed suddenly, the occurrence of this scene in front of him broke his worldview cognition, these guys don't have much chakra in their bodies at all, but this terrifying speed and power, what is going on?

He quickly jumped away from the hull, gathered the chakra at his feet, and took a foothold on the undulating sea, striking a soft fist parry.

He couldn't care about the situation of the three companions anymore, and none of the five people around him were mediocre.

Just with the speed and strength of the move just now, combined, even if it is him, he does not dare to say that he has an absolute chance of winning.

"Who are you? Why attack us Konoha ninjas? ”

While mobilizing the chakra in his body, Hinata Shingo wants to use conversation to find a breakthrough, at least to find out the identities of these guys.

Who knows, the faces of these five people have not changed from beginning to end, and they are silent, but they show a very strong hostility on their bodies, and they are aimed at Zhenwu.

"Up."

With just a simple order, the five of them tacitly besieged Hinata.

Hinata Shingo saw that he was deeply trapped in the enemy formation, and he did not panic at all, rich combat experience, as well as white eyes and soft fists, all of which were the sources of his confidence in the enemy.

However, after the fight, he realized that the strength of these five people was very great, and his point point ability was useless against them if he couldn't hit them in the chest.

Although it is incredible, these guys use powerful physical skills, and they don't rely on chakra to activate them at all.

It's by virtue of their own physical fitness.

After many years of mission, it was the first time that Hinata had seen this type of opponent.

Damn it! Hinata Shingo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

That way, his soft fist would have little effect on these guys.

And most of the strength of the ninjas of the Hyuga clan is reflected in the soft fist and point points.

This is a very bad opponent for their Hyuga clan.

If he knows how to use the special soft fist technique of Baguazhang Huitian, maybe he still has a chance of winning, after all, it is an absolute defense with no dead ends, and it can also shock the enemy and tear a hole where he can escape.

But as a member of the branch, even if he is a shinobi, he is not qualified to learn this trick.

It was a top-secret move that only the clan and a few ninjas were qualified to learn.

He now only has the white eyes to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, but if it continues for a long time, the situation will still be unfavorable to him.

"Ahh

Ignoring the point-pointing skills contained in his soft fist, the opponent exchanged injuries for injuries, and punched him in the face, knocking him out of the air.

Then the other two sped around to where he was about to fall, one swinging his fist, the other raising his leg, and striking him fiercely.

Hinata Shingo rolled on the surface of the sea, and the salty and bitter water accidentally poured into his mouth, mixing with the blood in his mouth.

His rather elegant image was destroyed, and despair arose in his heart.

"You ...... Who the hell is it? ”

He asked again reluctantly, wanting to know the identities of these five people and what was the reason for their attack on the Konoha ninja.

The five of them did not say a word, and there was absolute silence on the sea.
