Chapter 126: New Skin
When Shiro turned the corner with a change of clothes, he happened to see the butterfly Shinobu waving his fist at the air.
Her forehead was bruised, her ears were red, and she first threw two hooks to the imaginary enemy in front of her, an air man who was about the same as her, one left and one right, and then made up for another outrageous punch that hit the opponent in the abdomen.
The final punch was particularly ferocious: Butterfly Shinobu clenched his hook down hard from below, and didn't stop until he was a head taller than herself, seemingly fantasizing about smashing her jaw and sending her opponent flying.
After doing all this, Butterfly Shinobu regained his composure, and his shoulders no longer rose and fell.
She stroked the white coat on her body, adjusted her hairstyle, turned around with a smile that was no different from usual, and finished looking at Bai's somewhat frightened gaze.
Butterfly ninja's eyes bent into a crescent moon: "It's white, when did you come?" I didn't even hear a sound. β
"Just arrived." Bai felt that his throat was a little dry, and emphasized again: "Less than five seconds." β
So you don't see anything.
"......" Butterfly couldn't help but see through it, and her eyes focused on the set of clothes that Bai was holding. There is also a small mirror and scissors on top of the clothes.
"Is there only this kind of clothing in Orochimaru's base?"
"Well, it's not much different, it's all adult models, so I cut it down a bit and re-sewn the sleeves and corners."
"You're so good, you can even cut your clothes."
Butterfly Shinobu suddenly smiled, "In my hometown, except for tailors, only girls who want to marry will learn this." For example, my sister is very good at it, and I don't have much interest in it. β
"This ......" Shiro didn't know what to think, his face flushed pink, "As a ninja, I guess I know a little bit." β
"That's right." Butterfly Shinobu stared at Bai for a while, until the other party was a little panicked, and then suddenly said, "I have already sent Yan to deliver a message to the misty ninja named 'Momochi Never Slash'." With your current situation, it is definitely unrealistic to return to Wuyin Village, and if you want to meet, he can only come to you. β
Judging from the butterfly ninja, the upper ninja who broke his hand will definitely not tell the truth completely.
If he says something like "We were retaliated against because we tortured our followers who didn't behead again", it would make him severely punished.
So in his mouth, Bai has probably become a misty traitor who is in cahoots with Butterfly Shinobi.
When Butterfly Shinobu let him go, he didn't think much about it, but he just wanted him to be the messenger and make Kigakure realize that there was a sword hanging over their heads outside the village to restrain their behavior.
But now it seems that she did this in disguise, giving Shiro, a rare good person, a reason not to go back to being a ninja.
[Good seedlings like this must stay. γ
Butterfly Shinobi's eyes flickered, and her brain raced.
She asked the crow to tell Momochi that it was all the truth, and she didn't know how the other party would react yet.
If the ninja named Momochi Zai no slash intends to draw a line with Shiro, then Shiro can justifiably end his ninja career and stay here.
If the other party plans to take advantage of this news and lead the fog hidden ninja to attack and settle accounts with her, then purgatory, Tomioka and her are all here, and what will greet the fog is another fiasco, and Shiro will also see the other party's true face and completely die.
And the last possibility is that Taodi doesn't really care about Bai anymore, and would rather risk being charged with "collaborating with the enemy" to come to see Bai Mian.
At that point, it's up to you to improvise.
Bai didn't expect that in just a few seconds, so many thoughts flashed in Butterfly Ninja's little head, and he was still immersed in the dual emotions of joy and worry-
He wanted to stay here, but he didn't want to betray him again, so he was caught in some kind of dilemma.
"Okay, at Yan's speed, you will receive a reply tonight at the latest, and it's not too late to worry about it then."
Butterfly patted Bai's shoulder soothingly, "I'll go meet the medicine master who knows a lot of things first, and see what to do with him." As for Tomioka, I'll leave it to you, and I'll meet them outside in a moment. β
After saying that, Butterfly Shinobu left, and Shiro calmed down at the door before pushing open the door and walking in.
Yi Yong was getting out of the hospital bed with the help of a water body. The previously opened Sharingan has long since closed, turning back to a dark blue.
Just by glancing at it, Yiyong felt that the other party's body shape was somewhat familiar, and immediately remembered: "You are the child who was lying on the cliff the night ago." β
Referred to as a "child" by the person in front of him, his white beautiful face stiffened fiercely, "You still remember me." β
"Of course I do. You and your companions don't seem to be very strong, and it's really self-aware that you're still so close to the battlefield. β
Yi Yong settled down out of kindness, but Bai's ears were full of disgust and contempt: "If it weren't for your safety, I would have directly used a large-scale water escape to deal with the Great Snake Pill." β
"I'm sorry." Bai lowered his head with his eyebrows raised. It was obviously the first time to talk to Yiyong, but Bai already had mixed feelings about him.
Why is Yiyong obviously polite, but the words he says make him feel more uncomfortable than when those fog ninjas insult him?
Shiro still remembers that when he ran away with Yi Yong, he was bumped into by Kyojurou halfway, and the latter's encouraging eyes and enthusiastic and grateful compliments were almost like going to another imaginary worldβhe felt so good about himself that he thought he could be worthy of anything in the world.
However, at this moment, in front of Yi Yong, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, and like a fish in his throat......
In short, two extremes.
[How did the three of them get together?] γ
"That ......" Bai still didn't understand why Butterfly Ninja Uchiha Yoshito was called Tomioka, so he didn't know what to call it, so he could only take a step closer and light up the clothes in his hand, "I'll help you clean it and change your clothes." β
"You put it there." Yi Yong glanced at the water body beside him, "I can do it myself." β
As Butterfly Shinobu said, with such a look, even if he knows that the other party is a man, Yiyong still cares a little.
"And will you cut your hair?"
Shiro grabbed the scissors, made a metallic grinding sound of Kacha Kacha, and pointed to the left side of the head of the Yiyong rice ball, "Most of the hair here has been scorched by the detonator, so it is curled, and if it is not repaired, the sides are unbalanced, and it will look strange." β
"I should be able to ...... this simple hairstyle"
"After all, the doppelganger can't act according to your mind at any time, and the main body must keep an eye on the command at any time."
Bai gently interrupted, "You only have one eye to see things now, and there is always a gap between seeing with two eyes." Besides, you can't just cut the top and front of your head, but also the back, otherwise it will look like someone with a moon head has just grown hair...... You don't want to be in front of people like that, do you? β
In fact, it doesn't matter if you are brave.
But when I think about how I have to be on good terms with others, the book also says that first impressions can often determine a person's basic attitude towards another person......
The next moment, the water body disappeared, and Yi Yong said solemnly: "Then it will trouble you." β
"Well, please sit in a chair over there."
The haircut soon began, and the first few minutes between the two did not speak
- One doesn't want to speak, and the other probably doesn't want to hear the other.
But this kind of silence is a little troublesome after all. And there is always a doubt in Bai's heart.
"May I ask," Shiro asked tentatively, trimming the stray hair on the top of Yiyong's head, "Did you talk about something before Miss Shinobu left this room?" β
What happened to make the gentle Miss Shinobu angry like that?
Surprisingly, Yiyong didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it.
"I didn't talk about anything important." Yi Yong said casually: "Butterfly asked me if I really think that there is no better person than her." β
The white eyebrows twitched inadvertently, and he had already made up the content of the conversation between the two before this sentence, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
[It turns out that Miss Shinobu is no different from ordinary girls in this regard.] It's just that...... Isn't this too early? γ
[And such a question, who would give the wrong answer......]
Wait, no!
Bai suddenly became vigilant, if it was a satisfactory answer, Miss Shinobu would not be the one she did just now.
"So how do you answer?" He asked, a little worriedly.
"Of course not." Yi Yong said confidently.
[No problem, huh? Shiro was confused, [Doesn't Miss Shinobu like others to praise her appearance, but pays more attention to her intelligence and talent? γ
Yi Yong is not finished yet.
"Because the one who looks better than her is no longer alive."
Yiyong said that it was naturally his eldest sister Tomioka Tsutako, who was also his mother and sister. In his heart, there is naturally no one who is better looking than his sister.
It's just that Butterfly was in a hurry and didn't hear him finish the second half of the sentence.
"Katsa-" The crisp sound of scissors became a little harsh.
"I'm sorry......" Bai Yan saw a large handful of hair fall to the ground, and said apologetically: "I originally wanted to cut my hair short, but now it seems that I can only cut it into inches." β
Half an hour later, Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who had a new hairstyle and new clothes, walked out of the room, with a new bandage and splint on his left hand and left leg.
He wore a white shirt with a wide open collar that was not cucked in by a dark purple corset until his waist, and a twisted strap like a shrine's central pillar rope was tied to his waist, as if a python was wrapped around his waist.
(Left suke's clothes in Shippuden)
Further down are the loose riding hakama and ninja standard sandals.
All in all, this outfit is quite retro, making Yiyong, who has short water-stopping hair, look like a wandering samurai.
As soon as he entered the corridor, Yi Yong recognized that this was the lowest level of Orochimaru's experiment.
Unlike before, the doors of these laboratories are covered with thick roots growing out of the mountain.
"What's going on?" Yi Yong looked around and found that these roots were everywhere, "I didn't have them before." β
"It's Miss Shinobu who is afraid that those children will run around and break into this place and see something terrifying,"
Remembering the strangely shaped experiments I saw here yesterday, my white face lost its blood, and it took several seconds to pick up the next words.
"So I used Mu Dun to communicate with the plants in the mountain and sealed these rooms."
"Mu Dun?" Yi Yong's tone was a little surprised, "Did the butterfly master the chakra so quickly?" β
Because his eyes were uncomfortable, he hadn't used the Transparent World since he woke up, so he didn't notice that Butterfly Shinobu had mastered the chakra.
γ
"Yes." Shiro nodded, "After you fell unconscious, Miss Shinobi had an argument with a group of Mist Hidden Ninjas in order to protect me, which inspired her Blood Inheritance Limit. β
Yibai's status in Wuyin Village is not enough to know what Mu Dun means, but it is just something similar to his Bing Dun, so it is more casual to say it.
"Dispute?" Yoshiyo repeated the word strangely, "What happened to those fog ninjas in the end?" β
"I didn't see it." Because he was considered to be "running away", Shiro lowered his head in some shame, "But Miss Shinobu said, giving them some lessons. β
"That's it." Yiyong didn't notice anything wrong, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered another person.
"Before Kyojurou and Butterfly came here, I asked a kid named Ghost Lantern Suigetsu to take care of the other people in the base, nothing happened to him, right?"
Although he didn't look forward to it, according to Yi Yong's limited understanding of Ghost Lantern Shuiyue, the kid should have been eager to pick up his bedside and urge him to teach him sword skills, not like now, without any movement.
"Well," a wry smile erupted on his white face, "that kid was punished for his disrespectful words to Miss Shinobi." β
"Bad talk?" Yi Yong had a bad premonition.
He remembered that Tanjiro had said that after the younger brother of the immortal Kawa Minoru, the immortal Kawa Genya, joined the ghost killing team, he was also tossed up when he was treated in the butterfly house.
"Miss Shinobu said you need to recuperate, but Oni Lantern Mizutsuki said he was your disciple, so he was stalking and wanted to break into the room. After being stopped by Miss Shinobi, he threatened Miss Shinobi to dismantle her and return her ......"
Bai stretched out his right index finger and slashed horizontally in front of his neck, "I also did this action." β
Yi Yong matched the ghost lantern Shui Yue's usual hippie smile and grinning expression, and suddenly felt even more bad.
"So, what's the punishment?"
Shiro looked at the deepest part of the base floor, "Miss Shinobu tied him up with a branch and put him in the refrigerator. β
Yi Yong knew that that refrigerator was most likely the refrigerator where Orochimaru stored the writing wheel eye and the intercolumn cells, and the contents were all taken out by him, and it could indeed be locked up in a few people.
"Isn't it a bit too much?"
[Although the child speaks a little ugly, he is ...... in essence]
Yi Yong muttered to himself, and turned around and walked towards the innermost room without worry.
Bai's voice caught up: "There are a lot of tree roots on the door of that room and the outer layer of the refrigerator, except for Miss Shinobi, it takes a lot of effort for everyone else to unlock it." Miss Shinobu told me that patients should never do anything without her permission......"
Of course, Bai also understood that it was not too easy to untie the wooden strip with the strength of righteousness and bravery, and he didn't expect his reminder to have any effect.
But he didn't expect that Yiyong really had to stop with some scruples.
There is no way, what you promised, you can only do it honestly.
"Where are the butterflies now?" Yi Yong asked.
"She's busy, I'll meet you in a moment."
"Then let's wait until she arrives."
Anyway, that refrigerator only has a refrigeration function.
In this way, Yiyong and Bai set off together and came to the outside of the base.
Unlike the previous environment of trees and rocks, at this moment, Orochimaru's base has faded from its "shell" and is completely exposed to the air, the surrounding stones have been removed, and the trees have been cut down to only the root base, and the surrounding area is unobstructed.
Not far away, there were many older boys, girls and adults chopping trees with axes; Children who have not yet reached puberty push small wooden carts full of gravel to carry stones and branches to the edges; Smaller ones are clustered around a large tree stump, some playing games, others peeling potatoes.
But what they all have in common is that each group has an Akojurou by their side to work or play with them.
"Miss Shinobu says that in order to prevent the ninja from hiding nearby, it is necessary to clean up everything that obstructs the view. She wanted to take the tree off by herself......"
Shiro saw Yoshio's confusion and explained, "But Kyojuro felt that it was necessary for everyone to contribute to their own safety, so he organized everyone to move. Although the process is a bit cumbersome, only in this way will those who have been locked up before not think about it. And after paying for manual labor, everyone will not feel that they are being chared, and they can accept the kindness of others more calmly. β
Yi Yong nodded. This is indeed what Kyojuro would say.
His doppelganger mingled with the children, one for safety reasons, in case someone got hurt on the job. Furthermore, once someone can't control the Blood Inheritance Limit, these clones can stop them through the Vajra blockade.
Another reason is that it also plays a role in regulating the atmosphere, and Xingjurou can also notice which people's emotions are lower through the clone, and then persuade them.
Hearing the voices of a dozen Xingjulang mixed in the ranks of forty or fifty people, one after another, although it was a little noisy, Yiyong rarely relaxed.
At this time, one of Xing Shoulang's clones carried a tree trunk more than ten meters long and passed in front of Yiyong, and enthusiastically pointed out the direction: "You finally woke up!" The main body is waiting for you on the hillside over there, hurry up! He can't wait to meet you! β
Yi Yong nodded at him, and the former immediately ran away in full energy, and Bai was dumbfounded and estimated the weight of the trunk.
He hadn't seen Kyojurou do it, but since he was Miss Shinobu and Uchiha Yoshiyoshi were friends, he knew that he wasn't an ordinary person.
But Bai didn't expect that the other party was just a clone, and he could easily carry such a heavy thing!
[Where did they come from......]
Huge doubts covered Bai's heart like a spider's web.
"Let's go." Brave made his way through the crowd and up the hillside.
But just as he was passing by a boulder at the foot of the mountain, Yiyong suddenly heard a violent collision sound-
The object that made the sound sounded sonorous and hard, but it didn't have the crisp sound of metal.
On top of that, there were violent gasps and whispered curses.
"It should be Ishisaku and Junmaro."
Bai and Yiyong took a few steps higher and immediately saw the scene behind the boulder.
Three teenagers with no eyebrows and skin as pale as bones surround another white-haired boy in the center. Each of them was out of breath and ready for battle.
The eldest of the three looked only a little younger than Itachi, and the youngest was about the same as Ghost Suiyue, each holding two bone spurs the length of his forearm, and his skin was open and his wounds were bleedingβon the contrary, the white-haired boy who was besieged in the middle was unharmed, except for his clothes and his breath was the most stable.
The next moment, the bleeding wounds of the three disappeared as if they had been closed by an invisible zipper.
This familiar sense of dΓ©jΓ vu immediately reminded Yiyong of the Taketori car holder he met in Yunin Village, as well as the other party's entrustment.
"Jun Ma Lu ......" Yi Yong called softly, "It's this child." β
All the ninjas present were there, and they immediately heard his soft call.
The eldest of the black-haired teenagers, Taketori Ishidaku, glanced at it with a fierce gaze, and the moment he saw Bai, he immediately turned into a surprise.
"You're the ninja who made popsicles yesterday!" He happily beckoned to Bai Bai, "You also come to join us, just the three of us, it seems that you are not Jun Malu's opponent!" β
"Like?" Twelve-year-old Tie Saku added, "We haven't met him. β
Gangsaku's focus is completely different: "Make me another popsicle, I'm a little thirsty." β
"I'm sorry, I'm going to take him to the mountains."
Shiro wasn't interested in fighting at all, and even avoided the fighting maniacs of the Taketori clan, "I'm afraid I won't have time to be with you." β
"Huh? Is this the guy who was injured yesterday? β
Shi Zuo's attention came to Yiyong, and he jumped directly in front of him and Bai.
His two brothers did the same, and surrounded Yiyong, looking at him with half curiosity and half disdain.
After all, in the eyes of the Taketori clan, who can recover from their injuries, all those who need to heal their injuries are scum, and it is normal to have some contempt.
Yi Yong met the ill-intentioned eyes of the three people, and always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.
Only Jun Maro remained in the "battlefield" below, but he looked at Yi Yong's gaze with a hint of vigilance that no one else had.
"Hey, little blind man, see if you can walk and stand, just go up yourself, and leave him for us."
Yiyong didn't respond, and looked at Taketori Ishisaku calmly, as if he didn't know who he was talking to.
"Hey," Taketori got impatient and stabbed Yiyong in the shoulder with the bone knife in his hand, "Little blind man, can't you hear me?" β
Yi Yong finally understood.
"Does the little blind man mean me?" He reached out and pointed to his nose, then blinked, "But I can see it." β
"yes, he can see it." The youngest steelsaku corrected, "It should be the one-eyed dragon." β
"It's okay for a little cripple, you see he still has a steel plate tied to his leg."
The three of you looked at me and said a word, and they actually argued about what nickname they wanted to give Yiyong.
Bai was in a cold sweat, for fear that Yi Yong would stretch out a bloody sword from his fingertips and cut these three people to ashes.
However, when he looked at it, Yiyong's face was calm, and he didn't mean to be angry at all, as if he had long been used to it.
"Let's go." Seeing that the three brothers had been discussing for a long time and still couldn't come up with a reason, Yiyong said to Bai.
Bai hurriedly nodded, and was just about to set off, but was blocked by the bamboo stone as a stone.
"Let him climb up on his own, and you will come with us."
There was already a threat in his tone, presumably this was how his peers within the Taketori clan got along.
"Miss Shinobu arranged for me to take him up."
There was no way, Bai could only move out the name of Shinobi, although he didn't know what happened yesterday, but the three people were obviously a little afraid of Butterfly Shinobi.
Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, both Tiezuo and Gangzuo took a step back.
Shi Zuo just wanted to act synchronously, but he stopped abruptly and stiffened his neck: "So what? She's not here now! Even if she is, I will never ......"
"Is that really the case?"
Butterfly Shinobu appeared silently.
Except for Yiyong, no one saw how she acted.
She cushioned her feet, her chin over Taketori's shoulder, "Even if I'm here, you'll never ...... What do you think? β
Taketori Stone turned his head like a puppet mechanically, and found that the butterfly was smiling, and his heart was already half cold.
His throat and eyes seemed to be strangled by a rope to the size of a pinpoint, and he couldn't say a word.
"You guys, you like to give people nicknames."
Butterfly Shinobi holds a steaming kettle in her right hand and three teacups in her left hand in a cloth pocket, apparently for the reunion of the three of them.
While talking to Shi Saku, she took out a teacup and handed it to Shiro, motioning for him to add a little ice to it. Bai didn't know why, but he did it anyway.
"I guess if you win at home, you'll give the loser all sorts of nasty nicknames to insult them, right?"
The three Taketori brothers nodded subconsciously.
Butterfly Shinobu poured hot tea into the iced teacup, then took the cup and shook it slowly, letting the ice melt slowly, and her eyes met Taketori's stone.
"I don't know what kind of nickname you were given by your clan when you lost, and how humiliating you felt."
Taketorishi made an eyebrow, obviously remembering some bad things.
"But I at least know that from tomorrow onwards, you'll have a new nickname."
After saying that, Butterfly Shinobu splashed it casually and directly sprinkled the cooled hot tea on his trouser leg.
It's not hot, but it's confusing.
Taketori Ishisaku saw that the gray trousers were visibly soaked into dark gray with the naked eye, and he was still confused: "What do you do?" β
"Guess what if I'm here and yelling, 'Someone is so old and pees their pants,'"
Butterfly Shinobu pointed to the working crowd below, "How many people will turn their heads to look at you?" β
Taketori Shizuo was stunned for a moment, and then anger welled up on his face: "You are talking nonsense, they can all testify to me." β
The corners of Butterfly's lips lifted, and her kind eyes looked at Iron and Steel, who took a step back again: "He said that you would testify to him." β
"Of course I will testify!" Tie Zuo slapped his chest and covered Gang Zuo's mouth to say something, "He just peed his pants!" β
Shisaku glared in disbelief, and was about to jump away from the place.
But Butterfly Shinobu reached out as quickly as a lizard prey, grabbed his wrist and pulled him down.
At the same time, a tendrils reached out of the soil and tied his ankles.
[Oops.] Taketori Ishisaku was really panicked, and he didn't dare to continue to resist.
"How?" Butterfly Shinobu leaned in and asked, "Do you want me to shout?" Reminisce about what it was like to be humiliated in public? β
"What do you want?!" Bamboo stone for gnashing teeth.
The Taketori clan is not very smart, but he also understands that if the butterfly shinobu shouts out, he will not have the face to stay here anymore.
Butterfly Shinobi's smile retracted: "Apologize." β
She's not making a big fuss this time.
It is important for these children to realize which behaviors are hurting others. The best way to do this is to make them empathize.
"I'm sorry." Taketori Ishisaku bowed to her aggrievedly.
"The little blind man is not scolding me, why are you apologizing to me." Butterfly raised her eyebrows, "Do you want to get by?" β
"No need......"
Yi Yong raised his hand. He felt that he had nothing to lose, but he was just a group of children, so why was he so serious.
But the butterfly gave him a sideways look, and Yoshiyong had no choice but to shut his mouth and accept the reluctant bow of Taketori Ishisaku and his two brothers.
"It's not just him, there's a lot of adults and children with disabilities here."
Butterfly Shinobu warned, "I don't want anyone here to be called a strange name, just like you Taketori don't want to be called stupid, idiot, or braindead by Kiristin. Don't impose on others what you don't want to do, you know? β
"Got it." The three of them nodded dejectedly, and as for how much they listened, only God knows.
Yiyong finally knew the purpose of Butterfly Ninja's use of the question.
It's not about defending him, it's about protecting others who might have the same thing.
"Go ahead, and I'll look for you later."
Butterfly Shinobu greeted Jun Malu below, and then said to Bai Bai: "I'll take him up, you can do whatever you want, don't be too restrained." β
"Got it." Soon, several people left here, leaving only Butterfly Shinobu and Yi Yong.
"It looks pretty good, it's just that the collar is a little exposed, but you're still a little ghost, and no one cares."
Butterfly Shinobu looked at Yi Yong, and the unpleasant emotions of not long ago seemed to have been completely forgotten.
"However, such a spiritual hairstyle should also be matched with brighter eyes."
"You're making me ......," Yiyong pointed uncertainly to his eyes.
Butterfly Shinobu nodded.
"Changzhong's practice is meant to be done anytime and anywhere, even if it's the Moon Breath, it doesn't have to wait until the evening. Didn't you say before that you want to get acquainted with the feeling of being emotionally amplified? Now that I'm here and Purgatory, even if you really get out of control, there will be no problem, will there be a better time than now? β
"I see."
After Yi Yong switched the breathing method to the breath of the moon, the writing wheel eye switched over as if it was automatically awakened, but the color was darker and redder than the last time.
"It looks so much cuter now."
Butterfly Shinobu said his true thoughts in a half-mocking tone, and without saying anything, he helped Yiyong to come to the hillside step by step.
It didn't take long for them to see Kyojuro, who was there with a map looking into the distance, as if he was comparing something.
Hearing the movement behind him, Xing Shoulang turned around suddenly, and his two fiery red eyes were brighter than the morning sun.
"Brave! Well done! I've already heard from Miss Shinobu and the others about it before! These kids were able to bask in the sun so quickly thanks to your efforts! β
He paused, looking at the crowd around the base that was laughing from time to time, "Now that Miss Shinobu has also been resurrected, we are almost here, it's time to discuss ways to keep this laughter going!" β
