Chapter 10: Fireworks Festival
Shinji didn't expect to meet Shion again in this way, and a heart rose to his throat.
Ziyuan tilted her head: "Hey, I really want to see you, why can't I remember?" ”
Shinji shook his head: "We haven't met!" ”
"Really..."
Shion frowned and recalled seriously.
Shinji didn't show it on his face, but he was a little panicked in his heart.
In the end, it's still a little uncertain about the effect of his illusion.
Seeing Shion staring directly at Shinji, Shiro on the side also looked at the two of them curiously.
"Your Highness, where are you?"
At this moment, the shouts of the guards were heard not far away.
"Imp, get out of the way!"
Seeing that the guards were about to catch up, Shion didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly pushed away Shinji in front of him and ran away.
Shinji shook the corners of his mouth and said in his belly: "I used to call me 'big brother', but now I am called 'little ghost', this guy!" ”
Not much.
A few guards of the Ghost Country carrying large bags and small bags chased after them sweating profusely.
After asking Shinji and Shiro about the direction of Shion's escape, they apologized and continued to chase after them while shouting.
Looking at the guards who were far away, Bai Shu smiled and said, "It turns out that the witch who was the country of ghosts just now is really naughty." ”
Shinji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The little episode just now, although it caught him off guard, also proved that the psychological hints he implanted in Aster with a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye are still in effect!
Then when Aster comes to Konoha, it is likely that it is just a refuge.
After all, the witch was attacked in the original time and space, and the country of ghosts also requested support from Konoha at the first time.
This time the hand ghost invasion slaughtered hundreds of Oni Country guards overnight, and it is reasonable for the Oni Country to send the young shrine maiden to Konoha for safety.
[The plane is invaded...]
[Countdown: 3]
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Shinji's ears without warning.
He subconsciously looked at Bai beside him and found that Bai couldn't hear this voice at all.
Seeing Shinji looking at him, Shiro asked, "Do you want to continue cultivating?" ”
"No, let's go back."
Shinji shook his head.
When he returned to his apartment and closed the door, his face quickly darkened.
The countdown to this invasion is only three days!
An uneasiness spread in his heart.
Next.
Because the teams from other villages participating in the middle ninja exam gathered in Konoha, the village became noisy.
Shinji during the vacation was not lazy, and he was still practicing his physical skills with Shiro in the practice ground.
During the break, Shiro smiled and said, "The mother-in-law of the Maruko shop downstairs told me that the witch-sama we saw yesterday got rid of the guards early this morning and slipped out of the mission of the Oni Country alone, wandering around the village. ”
"Oh."
Shinji pretended to respond casually.
At the bottom of my heart, I made up my mind that I would avoid some asters during this time and don't bump into them again.
Bai said, "I heard that there may be a fireworks festival at night!" ”
"Fireworks festival?"
"It seems to be to welcome the other village ninjas who came to take the middle ninja exam this time." After a pause, Shiro asked, "The classmates in the class organized to eat barbecue and watch fireworks together in the evening, Shinji-san, are you going?" ”
Shinji said casually, "I'll forget it." ”
Bai said: "Then I won't go either." ”
......
At night.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Shinji, who was leaning against the window, looked at the brilliant fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, and his face was expressionless.
If you zoom in closer, you will find that his eyes are out of focus, and it is clear that he is not really enjoying the fireworks, but thinking about something.
Next door.
Shiro also stared at the night sky, but his expression was extremely serious, as if he was not appreciating the fireworks.
Suddenly, his gaze focused on an inconspicuous firework in the air, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
Then he sighed helplessly, went to the closet, and changed his clothes.
in the village.
Sasuke was alone, sitting with his legs crossed by the small lake not far from his apartment, not looking up at the night sky, but staring at the brilliant fireworks reflected on the lake.
The mood is diametrically opposed to the brilliant fireworks reflected on the lake at the moment.
This excitement annoyed him!
At this moment, the fireworks reflected on the surface of the lake in his vision suddenly distorted, as if it had become the face he hated the most.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Without thinking about it, he took out the kunai and jumped into the lake with a 'poof', breaking the calm of the lake...
......
In the apartment.
"It's still too risky!"
Shaking his head, Shinji kicked the thought out of his head.
No matter how desperately you want to get Fuyue's kaleidoscope writing wheels, you can't risk breaking into the dark building.
This is irrational!
However, how to deal with this invasion is indeed a big problem.
"You can't use 'Susanoo' every time, right? And... Why is the countdown so short this time? ”
Shinji is secretly distressed.
Click...
Suddenly, there was a soft sound of the door closing next door.
If it hadn't happened to be in the middle of the fireworks, he might not have noticed.
"It's so late, and you still have to go out?"
Shinji was a little confused, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, it was so lively outside, and it was normal for Shiro to want to go out for a walk.
But soon he frowned.
After the faint sound of the door closing, there was no normal footsteps.
Shinji restrained his breath, slowly came to the door, and listened to the door for a while, before he could barely hear the slight footsteps of Shiro going downstairs.
"Sneaky, what is he doing here?"
After pondering for a moment, Shinji decided to follow and take a look.
But he obviously overestimated his tracking skills, and in a moment, he lost Bai's figure, only to see Bai disappear into the crowded street from a distance.
"He must be going to meet with someone, so careful, the identity of the other party is probably very sensitive..."
Shinji was shopping while thinking about Shiro's affairs.
Shiro's appearance in Konoha Village, and the faint curiosity about him and the Uchiha clan, already made him feel strange.
Coupled with what had just happened, he was almost certain that there must be something wrong with Shiro.
It's just that he can't conclude who Shiro is working for, whether it is a certain big man in the village, or a spy carefully planted in Konoha by other villages.
Passing by a stall, Shinji suddenly stopped.
He saw the dazzling array of masks hanging on the stalls, and remembered that when he first dealt with the invasion, he was accidentally seen by Aster, so he stepped forward to buy a fox mask similar to that worn by the shadows.
Experience teaches.
The next time he responds to an invasion, he'll have to disguise his identity.
With the mask tied around his waist, he continued his stroll.
Then, unconsciously, he came to the remote practice field in the woods where he always practiced with Shiro.
Bang...
In the night sky overhead, brilliant fireworks still explode from time to time.
"Hey, the village is very noisy tonight!"
After all the comings, Shinji decided to hide and practice 'Water Breath' in this training ground for a while.
Hmmm...
Suddenly, there were two wind-breaking sounds not far away.
Shinji was taken aback and ducked sideways into the bushes.
Immediately afterwards, the two figures who fled and chased fell into the practice field.
Despite wearing a mask, Shinji recognized that it was Shiro, who had just sneakily disappeared into the night, and that it was a dark ninja from the village who was chasing him.
The Shadow Ninja stared at the masked Shiro and said, "Hmph! Originally, I was just spying on the little ghost next door to you, but I didn't expect to catch your big fish, just catch it, you can't escape! ”
