Chapter 82: Code Name
Bangββ!
The cell door was kicked open by Hoshino Mu, his face was gloomy as ink, and he exuded an aura that no one should approach.
Mizuki was startled, turned around and saw a person in a Konoha uniform behind Hoshino Maki, face down, being dragged by two sand ninja by his ankles, and as he dragged it, he left a deep blood mark on the ground.
Didn't you say that Hoshino Maki was kind to his captives?!
Mizuki swallowed, this picture is not too cruel, but the meaning behind it is not trivial.
Originally, although those Konoha ninjas had a hard time, they had a bottom in their hearts.
Hoshino Maki captured them in exchange for money, and the village also had money, so they didn't have to worry about their lives being threatened.
Now, Hoshino Maki has broken that tacit understanding.
Who's next?
Mizuki looked at Hoshino Maki who was like frost in front of him... It can't be me, right?
"Damn, toast and don't eat and drink."
Hoshino Maki loosened his neckline a little irritably, sat opposite, and looked at Mizuki in front of him with raised eyebrows.
Although this person has a similar hairstyle and face, he doesn't have half of my brother's masculinity.
"You're Mizuki?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Tell me everything you know, about Konoha fifteen ten, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood now, and I don't want to go around with your group of people!"
Hoshino Mu slapped hard, and the wooden table suddenly split in the middle.
Mizuki shrank back in fright, but still stiffened his neck, closed his eyes, and said in a trembling but firm tone, "I won't say anything!" Konoha, there are no traitors! β
He was ready to die, and the hairs on his neck stood on end, as if the other party's hand knife would fall on his neck in the next moment.
But after waiting for a long time, the expected separation of the human head did not appear, and there was no sound in the whole room, and he carefully opened the crack, and saw Hoshino Maki's big face in front of him.
Mizuki subconsciously leaned back, seeing the other party's smiling face, he was a little confused for a while.
Hoshino Maki patted him approvingly on the shoulder, "I just like people who love the village." I appreciate the interrogation of so many people, only you. Is there a job you don't know if you'd like to do? β
"What work? I won't betray the village. β
Mizuki was a little confused, the face of the person in front of him changed no matter what he said, it was still cloudy just now, and when he turned his head, his face was full of sunshine, but he still replied vigilantly.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Konoha. You also know that the friction between the Sand Ninja and Konoha has been going on for a long time, and I can't change the entire Sand Ninja's opinion, I guess they are also a little unkind when guarding you, right? β
Looking at Mizuki, who was still full of vigilance, Hoshino Mu smiled disapprehantly: "I hope you can be a bridge between the prison and the Konoha ninja and ease their relationship." β
"I'm not going to do anything for Shinobi."
Mizuki shook his head decisively, seeing that Hoshino Mu was not as vicious as he first entered the door, he was also much calmer.
But at the moment when he shook his head, he only felt that his neck was tightly choked, and the whole person flew backwards and slammed into the wall behind him.
His limbs bounced high from the recoil, and the wall behind him was cracked.
Mizuki's eyeballs bulged, and he only felt that his internal organs were squeezed together, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
How can this person say that if he changes his face, he will change his face?!
Hoshino Mu grabbed his neck, although the corners of his mouth were still smiling, but the eyes staring at the other party were as cold as frost.
"I don't want to hear rejection. Mizuki, you're not qualified to negotiate terms with me, understand? β
Mizuki let out a hoarse sound from his mouth, and waited for a while before he slowly spoke: "Ming, understand." β
His voice was very subtle, and the whole person seemed to be fast Hoshino Mu nodded, let go of his hand, and Mizuki's body slowly slid down the wall.
Hoshino Maki looked at Mizuki at his feet.
His loyalty to Konoha seemed to be able to forget life and death, but if he really wanted to feel the breath of death, he became cringe again.
At the end of the day, unlike those who are deeply rooted in Konoha, he doesn't care about the village.
The so-called love is just the brainwashing of ninja scholars over and over again.
"Someone, take him to the infirmary."
Hoshino Mu said lightly while wiping his hands with a handkerchief.
"Yes!"
Two jailers came in and lifted Mizuki and dragged him outside, leaving only the warden in the room.
"When he recovers, let him assist you in your work, and live like a jailer. By the way, the attitude towards him is a little worse, it's better to find a few more Konoha captives to do things with him, and I'll teach you how to do it later. β
The warden didn't understand Kazekage-sama's intentions, but he bowed down and nodded yes.
After Hoshino Mu left, he raised his head and looked at the large cracks on the wall, secretly speechless.
ββββ
Hoshino Maki Mansion, meeting room.
Hongduan sat in front of the coffee table, her face was calm, holding the teacup in both hands, and her eyes looked at her appearance in the tea soup solemnly.
Suddenly, she reached out and touched her forehead, which was empty, and under the careful touch, there were faint shallow marks left by wearing forehead guards all year round.
"Did I bother you?"
The grille door was pushed open, and the sunlight shone on the area where Red was, but the figure blocked out the light and shrouded itself as well.
"Nope"
Red took a breath and said in a deep voice.
Seeing this person, she couldn't help but think back to her time in the restaurant.
"I hope to hear good news from you."
Hoshino Maki sat across from him and made himself a cup of tea.
"Do I have a choice?"
Red smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Sometimes people are troubled because there are too many choices. Since you don't have a choice, it's better to grasp the only way. β
"My father..."
Before Red wanted to say something, Hoshino Maki had already taken out a voucher from his sleeve, pressed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of her: "You can freely enter and exit your father's residence, as well as the place where the Konoha personnel are held." As long as you complete the tasks I assigned, you can walk around the village as you please, and you will still have a good income every month. β
Hoshino Mu raised his head and looked her into the eyes: "You are a smart person, you should know what to do and what not to do. If something unpleasant happens, you won't want to know about the consequences. β
Red looked at the voucher in front of her, slowly raised her trembling hand above the voucher, and finally pressed it hard, accompanied by a long exhale as she closed her eyes.
"When will you give me a mask?"
When he opened his eyes again, he said in a deep voice.
Hoshino Mu smiled and took out a red-veined fox mask: "This mask is only worn when you go out on a mission in the village, and the dark part of Shayin Village wears a mask on weekdays. β
With the daytime temperature of Shayin Village, if you wear a mask on a mission, it is no different from suicide.
"Do you want to give yourself a code name?"
Red looked at the mask and was silent for a moment: "I don't have any ideas, listen to you." β
Hoshino Maki rubbed his chin, his face was a little weird: "It's better to... How about calling it 'Future'? β
Red looked at each other, his current situation, the future, isn't it too ironic?
But on second thought, it's already like this, is there still a need to argue about what it's called?
Is it possible to be free and get out of here by yourself?
"Whatever"
Red put on a mask and said calmly.
