Chapter 194: April is Your Lies
"Gods?" Tsunade was slightly surprised, squinting at Naruto, "Why are you asking this?" ”
In the Hokage's office.
Naruto sat on the chair opposite Tsunade, and his whole person looked a little reserved. It's not because the topic is formal, it's just because the opposing player wears black silk.
It's just that why does it look so familiar? Isn't that the black silk that the frozen little aunt muted?
Stealing the black silk of the female apprentice?
Is Tsunade spicy and perverted?
"What are you looking at?" A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Tsunade's face.
"Nothing, nothing." Naruto came back to his senses, "I'm just a little curious, I've heard more or less about evil gods in the previous missions in the country of rivers and birds. ”
"But after all, I haven't had direct contact with the cult god heretics, so it was just strange at the time, and I didn't take it to heart. But."
Speaking of this, Naruto paused, stared at Tsunade with a serious expression on his face for a few seconds, and then continued.
"During the Snow Nation mission, I felt that the shipwreck was not an accident."
Tsunade's casual gaze at Naruto stopped, his eyes lifted slightly, fell on his face, and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"While the ship was stopping in the port of the Fire Nation, a strange man appeared, and I kicked him out into the sea. However, in retrospect, the man seemed to have drawn everyone's attention to it. ”
Naruto pondered the words and said, "Tsunade-sama has ever heard of the Evil God Sacrifice?" ”
Tsunade didn't speak, was silent for a moment, and then asked.
"Are you saying that someone deliberately tried to sink a boatload of people on the sea? So you suspect that this matter has something to do with the cult of evil gods? ”
"The shipwreck is too weird, the ship inexplicably deviated from the course and sailed to the deep sea, and sank directly in the storm." Naruto said.
"If I have to say it was an accident, I don't believe it. But this is just speculation, and it is not for us, or it may be that we are unlucky, and it happened to happen. ”
"The ship has sunk and the trail is broken." Tsunade's fingertips rubbed slowly on the table, and he pondered, "Let's put that matter aside for the time being, and we'll talk about it later when we have clues." ”
"As for the question you asked, I can't tell you clearly."
"Why?" Naruto was a little confused, existence is existence, non-existence is non-existence, it's hard to say what it means?
"How can there be so many why?" Tsunade was a little irritable.
She suddenly remembered the original words of the slug that day, it was fear, as if it had been dominated, and his soul was unusually tall, like a mountain.
The spring sun pierced through the windowsill, the white walls reflected the halo, and the atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly became dull.
"You go back first."
Tsunade's voice was a little tired, "I'll give you an answer to your question, I've forgotten most of the details, I'll tell you when I have time to sort them out." ”
Naruto noticed something unusual, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he simply agreed first.
"Okay."
With a click, Naruto took the door and left.
After a few moments, Tsunade got up from his chair, and the crisp sound of high heels rang out in the empty office.
She walked to a stop in front of the filing cabinet, crouched down with a curvy body, and her wide green robe touched the ground, and pulled out an old information bag from the bottom cabinet.
Judging by the degree of dark yellow of this cover, it was sealed here at least ten years ago.
After the death of the Miyome Hokage, most of the things in the office were moved out, and all of them were replaced with office supplies that Tsunade was happy with. Only this large data cabinet has been placed in the corner, and no one cares about it.
Tsunade had already returned to his desk, and with a thud he tore open the top-secret file. The first one to sign is Jiraiya, which is a piece of information about the country of Yu, which was transmitted back by Jiraiya ten years ago.
"The cult believers of the evil gods of the land of Yu, this small country really likes to create gods." Tsunade muttered, sat down in his chair, and began to flip through the pages.
"The gaze of the gods is everlasting, overlooking the earth." Sakura put down the reading material in her hand, and her eyes smiled into a crescent moon, "How could you buy this kind of script reading?" ”
The rooftop of Konoha Hospital.
At noon, spring is shining.
Surrounded by turquoise steel wire and iron mesh, Sakura was wearing a thin blue-and-white hospital gown, holding a thin script in her hand and smiling at him.
Behind it is a large canopy of vigorous cherry blossoms, which fall silently in early April.
The breeze blows, outlining the thin figure of the girl. The blank area raised by the wind flashed white.
"It's just a sudden curiosity about these things." Naruto looked up and put the reading material down, and four or five thin books were placed on the edge of the concrete handrail on the rooftop.
"At your age, shouldn't you be curious about the anatomy of girls?" Sakura asked.
"Huh." Naruto smiled perfunctorily, "I'm not curious at all, I have something to do right now, if you're really idle, go back to the ward." ”
"I don't want it."
"Then please keep quiet, I'll go back after visiting Princess Fengyun." Naruto lowered his head and said as he flipped through the readings.
"I thought you came to see me, but it turned out to be to visit Princess Fengyun." Sakura's voice was tinged with resentment.
"Come and see you, my dearest companion, and get well quickly." Naruto said without raising his head, his voice without any sincerity.
"Is it just a companion?"
"Of course, we still have to do the task together, and don't say all that weird thing anymore." Naruto said absentmindedly, scanning the pages with a glance.
"So what does it matter? I don't want to possess you, doesn't it feel good to secretly hold hands behind everyone's back? Sakura tilted her head and asked, word by word, "Naru-to-kun?" ”
"Hmm." Naruto rubbed his fingertips over a passage from the page, and replied casually, not listening to Sakura's words at all.
Sakura also noticed that Naruto didn't pay attention to her at all, and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, walked up to him, and leaned half of her body. With a troubled expression on his face, his lips slightly opened, and he read out the obscure passage.
"The iron hook of the human race was pierced into the body of the evil god, and the flesh was pulled out and greedily devoured. They give their souls to become immortal monsters, but God doesn't care. ”
"What are you looking at?" She asked.
"It's just a folk book, no fuss." Naruto snapped the book shut, "How's your injury going?" ”
"Me?" Sakura asked.
"Or else?" Naruto said, staring at her pupils.
"I thought you'd ask Princess Fengyun first?"
"How's she recovering?"
Naruto-kun's words made me completely unhappy." Sakura said, "I'm not jealous, but I'm still a little sad." ”
"Less, she is the target of protection, whether the Snow Country mission can be restarted depends on the princess who has no discipline." Naruto closed the book and prepared to take it away.
"You seem to be eager to restart the mission in the Snow Country?" Sakura leaned forward slightly, with a faint smell of disinfectant water.
"Think, if you freeze, the mission is equivalent to failure." Naruto looked at her and said, "You get better quickly, it's enough for me to go with Azumi-sensei for the next mission in the Land of Snow." ”
"You really want to be alone with the two of them, right?"
"What a mess." Naruto complained, "The mission of the Snow Country involves another organization, and it won't be restarted until it's clear." ”
"Red Beans actually don't need to go, just look at it then, maybe even Princess Fengyun doesn't need to go, it's enough for me to go alone."
The plan to hunt down the Xiao organization is already on the agenda, and the fact that he doesn't have the Nine-Tails in his body will be discovered sooner or later. The loss of the Nine-Tails was a loss for Konoha.
But he doesn't care, it's a big deal to tear up with the high-level.
There are too many troubles at the moment, the battle of the Wind and Shadow in the Sand Hidden Village, the Snow Country mission is on hold, and the secrets under the island of the Vortex Country. There is also the undead duo of the flying horns, the Xiao organization that captures tailed beasts everywhere.
The inside of Konoha is not very peaceful, and Tuanzang is not dead, so he will never be able to feel at ease.
"Come and touch me." Sakura said.
"Don't." Naruto sighed, "I'm busy and don't have any interest in touching my companions, so please stop." ”
"But you're usually lying down, or you're at home, and you're not busy at all."
"Amount"
It's over, it's been discovered.
Naruto's face was slightly red, he was indeed a little lazy.
Whether it's the matter of Iro, or the matter of the Flying Section, or even the matter of the Snow Country. He is not in a hurry, after all, he has no direct interests.
He just wanted an answer, like he was playing a game.
He didn't care if something would happen to Iara, or if the Snow Country would usher in spring, or even if the Kakuto would fly to the Horns, they were just tasks in Naruto's eyes.
It's like a certain level of a game, and you want to beat it, but it doesn't matter if you lose.
"In short, Naruto-kun is going to do things with others in the future anyway." Sakura's voice was tinged with excitement, "Why don't you treat me as a practice object?" ”
"It's okay, it's just practice in advance, if it's Naruto-kun, no matter how you are treated, you will be very happy."
Her expression was extremely serious, as if her sanity had reached the limit, and Naruto had no doubt about the truth of her words. It seems that as long as he agrees, the next unlocked scene is definitely not as simple as holding hands.
The pink-haired girl, dressed in a blue and white striped hospital gown, speaks extremely inflammatory.
On the rooftop, a sudden wind blew all the pages in the hands of the two of them and flew high into the sky. The thin booklet rides the wind and skims over the huge cherry blossom canopy.
Naruto said with a bored look on his face, reaching out and pinching Sakura's face.
"Don't make that joke in the hospital."
"I'm serious."
"Then you should reflect on your unsound ethics, damn it!"
"Okay." She nodded, no guilt on her face.
