Chapter Eighty-Six: I Know You
Mizuki didn't respond and walked straight outside.
The jailer ignored Mizuki, glanced at the cell door, and turned to leave.
Shortly after the jailer left, the cell door quietly opened...
————
Mizuki walked up a spiral staircase to the top floor, where the wooden door didn't exactly match the rocks, and a warm orange light shone from below.
He stood in front of the door with his hands on the panel.
It's not the first time I've been here, but every time I walk through this door, it's hard to see what I do.
"Isn't it cold?"
Hearing the sound in the room, Mizuki took a deep breath and pushed the door open, Hoshino Maki was already waiting here, he was sitting on the sofa, and in the goblet in his left hand, the Portuguese liquid rose and fell in the wall of the cup.
This is the warden's office and the highest point in the prison.
But now the warden is nowhere to be found, and only Hoshino Maki is the only one.
Looking at Mizuki's face full of vigilance, Hoshino Mu sighed: "Mizuki, don't have this expression, haven't we always been happy to cooperate?" With those people as cover, no one in Konoha will suspect you, but think you're a 'hard bone', right? ”
When Mizuki heard the word 'hard bones', his face was a little unpleasant.
Seeing this, Hoshino Mu waved his hand: "I didn't mean to mock you, in fact, we are an equal cooperative relationship, and I never asked you to betray Konoha, did I?" ”
As he spoke, Hoshino Mu picked up a glass of red wine from the side and handed it to the other party: "Don't have so much psychological pressure, think about it, you just helped me secretly observe those people's attitudes towards Sand Shinobi, but in fact, this is nothing at all." I can understand that they hate Sand Shinobi, and I can understand that they are afraid of Sand Shinobi. I didn't punish the people you talked to me, you saw it. ”
As he spoke, Hoshino Mu couldn't help frowning when he saw that the other party's face was full of confusion and he didn't take the wine glass for a long time.
Seeing this, Mizuki trembled, instinctively took the cup, and Hoshino Mu regained his smile on his face, and patted the other party's shoulder with satisfaction: "You see, through your efforts, everyone's lives have improved a lot." Last time, because you performed well, I also specially asked the kitchen to cook chicken soup for you, think about it, on this cold winter night, it is a beautiful thing to be able to drink a steaming chicken soup~"
Watching the other party's brows gradually loosen, Hoshino Mu continued: "Mizuki, you know, I'm not a person who likes war, and I'm sure neither are you. The Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, as friendly neighbors, should help each other and be united and friendly. I can see that you are an ambitious young man who will definitely achieve a prominent position in Konoha in the future, and I hope that this friendship will start to pass between the two of us. ”
Mizuki didn't know whether he really believed in the mutual friendliness portrayed by the other party, or thought that he could become a prominent figure, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
The atmosphere was a lot more harmonious for a while, and Hoshino Mu smiled and put his arm around his shoulder: "How is today's work?" ”
Mizuki hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Everyone's mood is similar to before, but a few people have become a little irritable, but it's not because of Sand Shinobi!" ”
Mizuki was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he hurriedly made up for it.
In fact, although Hoshino Muki said that the sky was wild, he still did not forget his identity as a Konoha ninja. For some people who are not so hostile to the sand ninja, he will still help to hide a thing or two.
To give an inappropriate example, it's like some welfare Ji even though 95% of the position on her body is all for you to see, but she still doesn't let you KKP, as if she is still a good girl.
Hoshino Mu nodded: "What about the shinobi?" ”
"Except for stopping the conflict, the rest of the time I close my eyes and recuperate, and I rarely speak."
Hoshino Mu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are they all?" ”
"Uh... Pretty much, I looked over there twice more than once, and one of the shinobi glared at me. ”
Mizuki Yue said that he also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "My lord, they don't know what to do, they are all banned by you personally, even if they want to do something, they don't have the ability!" ”
"Don't get excited, I'm still very confident in my sealing technique."
Hoshino Maki waved his hand, signaling that he didn't take it to heart.
Mizuki wanted to say something, but he saw Hoshino Muki, who was holding him, disappear, and then a cold wind hit from behind, and he turned his head sharply, just as he saw Hoshino Muki open the door, holding a young man in his hand, who looked to be one or two years older than Mizuki.
"Hirano ?!!"
When Mizuki saw the man, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout.
"Shut up! You traitor don't deserve to call my name! ”
Hirano, who was stuck in the back of his neck, trembled, raised his head vigorously, and looked at Mizuki with hatred on his face: "Sure enough, you are... Traitor! ”
Hoshino Mu threw Hirano at Mizuki's feet, slowly walked to Mizuki in a panic, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I know it~ Mizuki, it sounds like someone has always doubted you." ”
Mizuki didn't know if he heard Hoshino Makii's words, he looked at the eyes of Hirano at his feet who wanted to cramp and peel his bones, and took a step back in horror.
"I won't be involved in your Konoha family affairs, good night, Mizuki."
Hoshino finished slowly, and the figure disappeared.
In the office of the warden of the sand hide, the two ninjas of Konoha looked at each other.
"Hirano, things are not what you think, I didn't betray the village, you listen to my explanation."
Mizuki explained, and stepped forward to help the other party, but was pushed away by Hirano: "Get out, traitor!" ”
With that, he staggered to his feet and ran out the door.
The red wine glass that fell out of his hand fell on the carpet and rolled a few times, the red and sweet wine soaked the woolen carpet under his feet, and Mizuki looked at the departing figure, his heart beating violently.
No... Can't let him say it!
A voice kept echoing in his heart.
Mizuki raised his head, the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshots, and the eagle looked at the wolf, his gloomy gaze was like substance.
He picked up the candlestick on the table and rushed towards the other with a hideous face.
Hirano heard the footsteps behind him, and when he turned around and saw the murderous aura on the other party's face, he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
The distance between the two sides is getting more and more *** Ye turned back again, the two sides were only half a position apart, he saw Mizuki holding up the candlestick, his steps couldn't help but panic a little, his left and right feet stumbled, and the whole person fell to the side.
"Ah——!h
The pitch-black space in the middle of the spiral corridor was like a devouring beast, and Hirano's limbs kept struggling, shouting, but soon the figure became smaller and smaller, disappearing into the boundless darkness, and after waiting for a few seconds, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Mizuki stared blankly at the 'black hole' in front of him, a gust of cold wind blew, he suddenly shivered, stepped back suddenly, sat on the ground, and howled.
"Mizuki..."
That familiar voice sounded in his ears, Mizuki grabbed Hoshino Mu's shirt with both hands, and looked crazy: "It's you!" It's you! Isn't he asleep?! How did it end up here! It's all up to you! ”
At this moment, Mizuki understood everything.
He still had a lot to say, but Hoshino had already grabbed him by the throat and lifted him above the black hole.
At this moment, he calmed down.
The day he came to the interrogation room again.
"Are you awake?"
Hoshino Mu's tone was very cold, and he slowly carried Mizuki back and threw it on the steps: "Recognize yourself, Mizuki, you are afraid of death, you crave power, you enjoy the reverent gaze of others, you want to be the center of attention, for these reasons, betraying the village is nothing at all." ”
As he spoke, he pinched Mizuki's jaw and lifted his head, forcing him to look at him, and said word by word: "I didn't lie to you, I am the one who really understands you, you are indeed an ambitious person, I see full ambition in your eyes." I will never bother with worthless people, be loyal to me, and I will make all the people of Konoha look up to you. ”
Mizuki was stunned for a long time, stood up and walked to the edge of the steps, looked at his feet, hesitated repeatedly, and finally tears flowed unconsciously.
After a while, he wiped his face with his sleeve, took a few deep breaths, turned his head, and looked fierce: "What do you want me to do?" ”
