Chapter 2: O Mother of Heaven
"Zona! Are you at home? β
Sakura shouted at the door, raising her voice slightly.
"It's coming!"
Soon, there was a response from inside the house. As a sound of footsteps approached quickly, Zana opened the door and saw his friends, a little surprised, "Sakura-chan? Ino and Naruko...... Why are you here now? β
Today is a rest day, but because the kite's body still needs to be recuperated, it must be checked in the hospital regularly, so Zana stayed behind to look after the house - although her current strength is not worth mentioning compared to the kite, but this is the Uchiha's mansion after all, no matter what, it is some kind of Uchiha to keep an Uchiha...... Hang on?
"Are you free now?" Sakura asked, "We just saw Sasuke-kun!" β
"Ah......h
"And the man named Scorpion who lives in your house."
Zana didn't feel the slightest surprise and said, "So, he caught up." β
"Zana knows about this?"
"Yes, I informed him."
"Why does that man called Scorpion know me?" Sakura mentioned this incident and was almost scared to cry when she thought that she was being targeted by such a terrible person, "What else do you say, I killed her in another world." β
As soon as he heard this, Zana frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "That guy in the scorpion! Talking about it casually outside......"
"Sasuke-kun said that Zana knows what's going on, so we're coming to you." Sakura looked at her earnestly and said, "What the hell is going on, can you tell us?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's not impossible, but ......" Sana looked hesitant, "but my sister hasn't come back yet, and I can't leave." My family is ...... now The scorpion has just returned, I wonder if it will be a little bad for you to meet? β
"What's so bad?"
At this time, the red-haired girl suddenly appeared behind Zana and startled everyone.
The scorpion leaned against the door frame, her eyebrows unconsciously revealing a hint of lazy and gorgeous style, she glanced at Sakura, and whispered, "I won't kill her." β
But the fierce courage of her body, which belongs to the S-level rebellion, is not at all something that the fledgling lower ninja can compete with.
The girl with long pink hair suddenly shrank and showed a frightened look.
"I really can't stand it," and this immature appearance made the scorpion frown, and sighed, "Sakura Haruno or Kankuro...... I thought it was some kind of character, but now it's just a group of ghosts! β
"Weak, lame, inexperienced, and not a bit of a brilliant performance...... Scorpion sighed in disgust, "It's enough that I would lose to this kind of person." β
She walked away irritably.
Seeing this, Zona hesitated, turned his head to look at his friends who were confused because they lost their temper for some reason, and said with a wry smile: "That...... Since she's said so...... Are you going to come in? β
Sakura and Ino glanced at each other, still hesitating, Naruko was already the first to rush in, "Come on!" How could Zona's home be in danger? Absolutely! β
"Ah, wait! Naruko! β
Naruko said so, and Sakura and Ino hurriedly followed in.
Zana was stunned for a moment by Naruko's such sure trust, and then couldn't help but laugh and said, "What...... That guy ......."
As they walked into the courtyard, a figure peeked out of the backyard.
It was a handsome black-haired young man, wearing a brick-red Iwain Village uniform, and his face was stained with a few traces of gray dust for some reason, looking a little embarrassed.
"Are there any guests coming? Zona, I can't leave Sister Dida's side for the time being, but the kitchen has just boiled water, please entertain me! β
Zana responded, "It's okay, they're my friends in the first place. β
"Hello Heitu senior!" Sakura and the others hurriedly greeted each other.
"Oh, it's you." The last time Sakura and the others came to stay, they had seen each other. Heitu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I won't bother too much?" Don't just go near the backyard, it's a bit ...... Troublesome. β
When he had finished speaking, he retracted again.
Faintly, a girl's urging voice came from the backyard: "Hurry up!" What a word, I can't wait for the explosion! β
"I know, I know, I know......" Hei Tu said helplessly: "Tu Dun, Tu Ingot Wall!" β
"Black Earth is in charge of supervising Dida, so she has to keep an eye on her during her experiments, and by the way, make sure that her experiments don't endanger others." Zana said this, leading them into the living room.
Ino looked into the backyard with some novelty and said, "I haven't seen the ninjutsu of Earth Escape and Earth Ingot Wall yet." β
Sakura also said: "Speaking of which, it seems that there are a few ninjas in Konoha who can escape. β
"There should be some of them, right? Won't Akane-sensei? β
"Teacher Akane...... I seem to have only seen her come with a thunderbolt...... Right, Naruko? β
"Hmm!"
Sakura asked rhetorically, "What about Asma-sensei in your class?" β
"Teacher Asma is said to have a rare wind attribute chakra, but I don't seem to have seen him use earth to escape."
"yes, ehβthat's a rarity." Saying this, Sakura suddenly glanced curiously at the backyard.
"It's just rare in Konoha, right? In Yanyin Village, it should be very common. When Yanyin Village saw our fire escape, it would also feel very strange. Zana laughed.
"Ah, speaking of which, the Uchiha clan is the best at fire escape!"
Hearing this, Zana pursed her lips reservedly and bent her eyes, "Thank you." Sit down first, and I'll pour you water. β
Looking at her back, Ino whispered closer to Sakura and said, "Zana understands much better than before." β
"yes," Sakura replied with a smile, "as long as she praises the Uchiha clan, she'll be happy." β
"Great," Ino breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "None of us dared to mention the Uchiha in front of her before...... Now she's finally out there. β
"Is it because Sister Kite is back?" Sakura thought.
"I think, it's really because of Brother Itachi, right? That Itachi? Ino said: "When we lived together that day, didn't Zana open his mouth and Brother Weasel shut his mouth?" I feel like she likes each other very much. β
Naruko wondered, "However, Zana hasn't mentioned the person called Itachi at all lately. β
"Huh?" Since he usually does not carry out missions in one group, Ino's intelligence is obviously lagging behind. She wondered, "Why?" Was it a quarrel? β
"I don't know, but," Naruko added, "Zana seems to have been mentioning Uchiha Sasuke a lot lately. β
"Ahh That big handsome guy!? Could it be that Zana also likes him? β
"Hahahaha," Sakura smiled bitterly, "It seems to be the opposite...... Zana seems to have a super opinion of him. β
"Hey, if that's it......" Ino put Sana and Sasuke together and thought about it for a while, and suddenly found something, "Sana and Sasuke...... Don't you think they look a little alike? β
"Hmm...... There's no way to look like it...... Sakura and Naruko, who knew about the "people on the other side", glanced at each other and laughed helplessly, "After all, to some extent...... It's a person. β
"What a person?" At this time, Zana walked out with tea.
She sat down on her knees and placed the water glasses in front of everyone one by one.
Sakura said, "I'm talking to Ino about Sasuke and you." β
"Ah, that guy." Just as Sakura said just now, Zana clearly showed a dissatisfied look. "What do you have to say to him?"
Ino was suddenly surprised, "Why don't you like him, Zona?" He's so good-looking! β
"Because the thought that he is another self, I feel very uncomfortable inexplicably." Zana sighed irritably, "If you suddenly know that there is another self in this world, I think that if you don't feel very close and curious, you will feel very disgusted and very repulsed." Me and Sasuke, probably the latter case. β
"Speaking of which, it's been ...... from just now" Ino said confusedly, "Sakura-chan too, so is Sakura, and so is Sakura...... Saying that Sasuke and Zana are the same person, what is it about saying that there is another self in the world? β
"Well...... "Sana took a sip of tea and exchanged glances with Sakura and Naruko." It's about to start from the beginning with the 'people on the other side'......"
β¦β¦
"Uchiha otaku?"
"That's right. It was the only known stronghold of the people on the other side so far. But speaking of the stronghold, the Uchiha Itachi hasn't been seen for a long time - their whereabouts are difficult to determine, they always appear suddenly, disappear suddenly, and the frequency of their appearance is irregular, so there is only one way to contact them, and that is the fireworks made by Uchi-Port. β
After Granny Chiyo said this, she saw Sara stand up and said very simply, "Since that's the case, then I'll go over." β
"What are you talking about, Saro!" Kankuro's whole body was full of rejection, but he didn't dare to resist his sister loudly. He lowered his voice and repeatedly emphasized, "The scorpion is there too!" That's an S-class traitor, the Red Sand Scorpion! With our strength, it would be difficult to deal with if we didn't rely on your strength, but ...... If you get Konoha's attention now......"
But Chiyo's mother-in-law said, "It's okay, I'll take you there." β
Kankuro's eyes widened, and he said unexpectedly, "Huh!?" β
"I haven't seen a scorpion for a long time, so I'll just take this opportunity to go over and meet her."
"Huh?!"
"Are you afraid? Kankuro? Chiyo-ma-chan laughed, "Are you afraid of scorpions?" β
"Not really!" The young and vigorous young man really couldn't help this kind of stimulation, and he suddenly blushed and said, "I just think that if you can avoid a pointless battle, there is really no need to force a conflict......
"It's okay, with me, the scorpion won't do anything. What's more, she should hate Sakura Haruno more than you. Granny Chiyo smiled and said, "But she didn't even do it at Sakura Haruno, so she wouldn't really want to kill you." If you want me to say, maybe she is actually thinking about whether to accept you as a disciple. β
ββ¦β¦ Disciple? Hey? Kanjiuro didn't expect this possibility at all, and he was stunned for a moment. Yes...... However, although I have always heard that she is a genius puppeteer that is rare to see in a thousand years, I only said that I want to be my teacher...... She's an S-class traitor, ......"
"Why are you so entangled?" Ju also raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Aren't you moved?" For the matter of becoming her apprentice. β
"Because she's a red sand scorpion!" Kan Jiurou said excitedly: "Almost the top puppeteer today!" If you can get her advice......! β
His eyes suddenly lit up and he twisted his face towards Granny Chiyo and said, "Okay! I know! In that case, let's go! Go to the Uchiha house! β
ββ¦β¦ Your attitude has become too fast, hey! β
"Because Juya, you don't understand the puppeteer's pursuit at all! Nothing can stop us from going further on the path of puppets! β
"Hmm-" Hearing this, Granny Chiyo touched her chin inscrutablely, "I feel a little bit." β
Ju Ye was inexplicably puzzled: "What does it feel?" β
"Ah, I've seen it in the monthly reading, the momentum of Kanjiurou reprimanding the scorpion, a little bit of that feeling."
"βIt's something that happened in another world, but I really can't think of that scene." Ju also looked at his younger brother with an unexpected expression: "Obviously, when I faced the scorpion before, my fingers froze, can I actually have the courage to reprimand that red sand scorpion?" β
"People grow!" Kanjiuro was immediately unconvinced, "And when she appeared just now, that kind of murderous aura was all aimed at me alone!" You have no idea how horrible that feeling is! β
Ju also smiled and shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, with an attitude of "okay, okay, whatever you say".
Kankuro was dissatisfied: "Aren't you curious? β
"Curious about what?"
"Something about yourself in another world?"
"Hmm...... Certainly a little curious, right? However, it didn't get to the point where you had to know. Ju also stood up, ready to set off with his companions, "After all, ......"
Ultimately...... Only people who are extremely dissatisfied with their current life will care so much about another possibility that belongs to them in another world.
Thinking so, he couldn't help but look at Leno.
β¦β¦ A person is lonely and lonely, living with resentment and pain until now, hearing that there may be another person who has the same experience and emotions as himself......
If you don't go to see him, you will never be willing.
He could understand her feelings.
But......
If that Ara's temper is as bad as Saro's, it's over......
Ju also looked at the sky and prayed silently, O mother of heaven...... Please bless me, but don't do that.
