Chapter 478 Encounter by chance

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became quiet, almost like a needle could be heard.

Baishi stared straight at Nonaiyu's fair face that was still smiling gently. When he asked this question, the emotion on the other party's face didn't change at all, as if he didn't feel the question.

"Pharmacist... pocket?"

After a long time, I don't know if he recalled something, and Nonaiyu said these words slowly in a soft voice.

"Yes, there are many strange things about his intelligence."

Shiraishi crossed his hands on the table, his eyes still fixed on Nonaiyu's face.

"How to say?"

Nanoyu seemed to be very interested in this information, and his smile deepened.

"Judging from the information collected by Konoha, Yakushidou was a child brought back to Konoha by the Jnin of the Konoha Medical Unit during the Battle of Kikyo Mountain. His grades in school were mediocre, and after graduation, he didn't have any bright achievements. Like most of the lower ninjas with ordinary aptitude, he took many Chunin exams in a row and failed to advance to Chunin."

"Does it look unremarkable?"

"Yes. But the problem is that he has a very close relationship with Danzo and Orochimaru. Judging from the collected information, it is temporarily uncertain whether he is helping Danzo or Orochimaru. Then, his identity has become a big doubt. All the information before he joined Konoha was cut off, changed to a humble identity information, and integrated into Konoha Village with a new identity. Until now, there has been no suspicion from Konoha insiders .

Generally speaking, ninjas of this level do not need him to take care of them personally. This is the job of the intelligence department.

It's just that he appeared in the Chunin Exam this time, and from the clues he got from it, it can be confirmed that he had a direct meeting with Orochimaru during the Chunin Exam.

But based on this alone, Shiraishi couldn't determine what Kabuki's position was.

Is it the spy that Danzo arranged to be next to Orochimaru, or the spy that Orochimaru placed inside Konoha.

Although from the information collected by Kakashi, Kado seems to be more inclined to Orochimaru's side, but a multi-faceted spy like Kakashi will not easily reveal his true position.

Maybe leaning towards Orochimaru's side, it's just a deliberately faked phenomenon.

"If you walk a tightrope, you may die suddenly one day."

Looking at the photo on the information file, Nonaiyu felt a slight pain in his heart.

Sure enough, Danzo did not fulfill the contract with her and let the child go as promised.

Instead, continue to use the opponent and become a **** under Gen Bu's hands.

As for the intervention of Orochimaru...that should be what happened after her'death'.

A child who has no past, no country, and no so-called stance because of the war is Gengen's favorite war orphan, and he is very suitable to develop into a grassroots spy in Root.

Swaying between Danzo and Orochimaru, two dangerous characters, is no different from walking a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

"Yes, but this kind of thing is very common. There are countless orphans produced by the ninja world war, and he is just a negligible one of them. It is also because of this that you quit from the root and transferred to the orphanage to work."

Baishi took a sip of his tea lightly.

"Master Shiraishi is doubting me?"

"No, if you doubt it, you won't be able to stand here and talk to me calmly. After all, apart from the kingdom of ghosts, there is no second force that will accept your refuge unconditionally. I have never restricted everything about you. Even if you join the intelligence department, it is just a choice you made yourself. Even if you planned to live in seclusion in the shrine for the rest of your life, I would not say anything."

The scars of war, no one wants to mention.

Especially a woman like Nonai Yu who is more emotional than rational.

The darkness at the root made her kindness completely degenerate, and she was condemned by conscience all the time.

But even so, until it died, it still failed to get rid of the control of the roots.

Because her kindness and ability do not match, she cannot protect more orphans from the root, so she will be used by Danzo to squeeze out the last trace of value.

"That's true." Nonayu sighed, and said with a sad smile: "I thought that after practicing at the shrine, I could forget everything about the past and start living again. But... I am still a greedy woman."

"There is nothing wrong with this, because your kindness can only be useful if you have your back. You can leave the intelligence department at any time if you want. Anyway, with your ability, it is not difficult to manage the orphanage in the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"If I were ten years younger, I might fall in love with Master Shiraishi...but now, I don't want to be beaten to death."

No Naiyu laughed.

Baishi choked on drinking water, coughed a few times and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in old women either. Since Yao Shidou is a child you took in in the orphanage, can you win him over?"

Although he has successfully mixed into Orochimaru's subordinates through another Konoha rebel.

But the level is still too low, so far no access to more confidential information.

Yaoshidou is different, he can serve as a communication link between Danzo and Orochimaru, which means that he has extraordinary abilities and knows more things.

"Although I am his adoptive mother, that child has been very assertive since he was a child, and his abilities are different from ordinary children. In addition, he never needs to consider the so-called national position, which means that his life has been drifting with the current... If I was his belief in the past, then Danzo or Orochimaru is his new belief at this time."

Nano Naiyu sighed and explained the problem.

Although a spy needs a position, a pocket is not an ordinary spy.

Because he was blank before entering the orphanage, and his position has never been blank.

He is what color other people dye him, and he regards it as the whole of life. That's the problem with spying without a stand.

As long as someone needs it, he will appear, and then become the blade in that person's hand.

After listening to Nonaiyu's analysis carefully, Shiraishi let out a light breath.

"That is to say, before his current belief is destroyed, it would be a bad thing to contact him, right?"

"It's great of you to understand."

"It's an interesting statement. Let's put the action of contacting him on hold for now."

Although it was a pity, Shiraishi didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

"May I ask, Master Shiraishi, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"You stay and work in the headquarters for the time being, and I will send another person to take over from the country of Tang. The rest of the things will be gone, let's go down."

"Then, I will take my leave first."

No Naiyu bowed slightly and left the office.

The office was quiet again. Baishi looked relaxed, drinking his afternoon tea relaxedly, and processing the unfinished intelligence documents in his hand at a leisurely pace.

"You should all know what to do next, right?"

In the hotel, Kakashi called Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura into his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked the three of them in a serious tone.

This look, as if something terrible will happen next.

"Of course this kind of thing is clear, that is the taste of the ramen in the future, what kind of ramen should I choose!"

Before Sasuke could speak, Naruto raised his hand first to express his opinion.

His behavior naturally aroused Kakashi's strong dissatisfaction, and he punched him **** the head.

"Ugh!"

Naruto squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, screaming in pain.

"Why did you suddenly hit me, Kakashi-sensei?"

His tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"That's because you didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all. In your opinion, is the third exam less important than dinner? And how many times have I said that eating ramen all the time will lead to malnutrition and short stature."

Kakashi pressed his finger between his eyebrows, looking at Naruto with a headache.

"But the ramen is so delicious..."

Naruto argued.

"Delicious food should also be moderate. Forget it, now is not the time to talk about such things. I think you have learned some information about the first-round opponents of the third test through the previous qualifiers."

Kakashi said.

Although Sakura lost in the qualifiers and was eliminated tragically, as members of the seventh class, Naruto and Sasuke, they successfully advanced.

As the Jonin who guides the seventh class, Kakashi is also honored.

However, he also knew that the official match of the third test was different from today's qualifiers. It can be said that there is no such thing as a mediocre ninja who advanced to the third test.

Every battle may be very difficult.

In addition, the competition system is also different from the qualifiers, and it is a tournament that needs to be ranked.

So, with this in mind, be prepared for a long fight, not just one win.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kakashi, I've already thought of a countermeasure."

After Kakashi finished saying this, Naruto patted his chest with a confident smile on his face.

"Countermeasures? Let me tell you first, the strategy you used to defeat your opponent in the qualifiers cannot be applied to the third final. Moreover, Zhi Nao is a ninja from the oil girl clan. The parasites he controls are not only lethal, but also have a very strong ability to find enemies."

Kakashi thought that Naruto wanted to use the routine of the qualifiers to attack Shino from behind in the third final.

"How is it possible? Anyway, I have already thought up a new countermeasure, and it will definitely surprise you when the time comes. However, this requires Sakura's help."

Naruto scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"My help?"

Sakura glanced at Naruto suspiciously, not knowing what strange idea he was conceiving in his mind.

"Yeah, no problem, Sakura?"

"Even if you say that, I don't know what you want me to do for you? Let me tell you first, if I can do it, it's fine to help you. But if it's a date or something, like cheering you up, then it's free."

After listening to Sakura's words, Naruto didn't know whether he should be moved or disappointed.

"Don't worry, it's not a date, but a serious request. Let's talk about it when the time comes. After all, what ramen you eat tonight is the most important thing."

Naruto quickly packed up his lost mood, restored his smiling face, and hurriedly walked towards the door.

"You're too good at it, Naruto."

It was too late to stop Naruto, so Kakashi could only sigh helplessly.

"Once that guy decides, ten cows won't be able to pull it back. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about the countermeasures."

Sasuke also agreed with Naruto's approach.

Kakashi had no choice but to obey.

Following Naruto to the corridor, a group of people greeted him immediately.

is the team led by the rest of Konoha's guide Jonin.

The three guides, Asuma, Hong, and Kai, are all there, followed by the lower ninjas of their team.

When they came out of the room at this time, they must also want to go out for dinner instead of staying in the hotel for free meals.

"Kakashi, are you going out too?"

Kai came over and asked, patting Kakashi on the shoulder.

"Yeah, after all, I finally passed the qualifiers, so I should celebrate."

Kakashi shrugged and replied.

"It seems that we all want to go together. But I didn't expect that in the team you led, two people would advance to the third final. At that time, let's compare whose student will get the higher ranking."

Kai said enthusiastically.

Before Kakashi could answer, Hong from the side also joined in: "It looks very interesting. If the two 'seniors' don't mind, I want to participate too. However, someone seems to be unable to participate."

His eyes squinted towards Asma's position.

Asma suddenly felt a sword stab into her heart, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, you guys are talking about you, don't suddenly add salt to my wounds. The students on my side don't seem to be very lucky."

"Ascribe failure to luck, are you looking for an excuse? It really doesn't look like a man who dares to do something."

Hong thought for a while, then joked.

"Okay, I throw in the towel."

Seeing Asma who surrendered decisively, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino behind him complained one after another.

This is too lacking in the aura that Jonin should have.

Is this the so-called one thing down one thing?

"Has the relationship between the two become so good? However, today's time is limited, so let's end the chat here for the time being. When the finals are over, let's have another big party."

Kakashi saw that the time was almost up, so he didn't continue to entangle here.

"See you."

"goodbye."

Kakashi left with the three of Naruto.

"Then, I also take my leave."

Kai also left here with Neji and the others.

Only the members of Red Team and Asma Team are left in the corridor.

"Well, if you don't mind, Hong, would you like to eat barbecue with me? I heard that there is a world's number one high-end barbecue restaurant here. Let me treat you."

Asma looked at Hong with some embarrassment, coughed lightly, but still said the invitation.

But I've been losing weight lately, and

Hong frowned.

Then, she looked at Hinata, who had a very low sense of presence in the team, and felt a little rejected in her heart.

"What's the matter? Since it's Teacher Asma's treat, there's no problem. It just so happens that I also want to eat a barbecue to replenish my blood."

The bandage-wrapped teeth on the nose said grinningly.

After medical ninjutsu treatment, his nasal bone has recovered, but there is still a little pain, and he can recover after a rest.

He can see that Asma has the idea of pursuing his own mentoring, and he said this in the hope of helping the other party.

"I don't care, what about you, Hinata?"

Shino nodded and glanced at Hinata.

Hinata lowered her head and wrung her fingers shyly. For some reason, a miserable scene of Asma's bankruptcy appeared in her heart

"I, my words..."

Before Hinata finished speaking, Asma made the final decision and said, "Then it's settled, let's go eat barbecue together."

"Well, hopefully your wallet will hold up when the time comes."

Seeing that Asma decided to finalize the matter so simply, Hong had no choice but to follow his wishes, hoping that Asma would still have extra living expenses this month.

"It doesn't matter, I have enough funds here, enough for eight people to let go and eat."

After all, there is only Dingci in the team with a big appetite, and the money he carries is more than enough to deal with this big eater.

Moreover, through this opportunity, Hehong can develop further.

Thinking of this, Asma couldn't help but look forward to the next barbecue dinner.

after an hour.

The sky was completely dark, and at the same time, it fully showed the prosperity of Ziyuan City.

Under the hazy and beautiful night, there are endless noises. The neon lights of various colors exude a fantastic and magnificent scene, and there are many more people on the street than during the day.

It seems that this is the moment when a city truly releases its charm.

There are many types of shops on the roadside. As long as you can think of it, you can find it here. Even if you can't think of it, you can find everything here.

Not only that, because this is the center of ninja business, you can see people coming and going on the street, people from all over the world wearing different styles of clothing, gathered together. This kind of scene, for those who see it for the first time, will inevitably feel a little shocking.

"There are really many people in this city."

Naruto got off the bus. Although it was a means of transportation that Xinqi had never seen in Konoha, it took less than half a day for Naruto to understand the operation of the bus and he was quick to accept new things.

As soon as he came down, he sighed immediately when he saw the bustling scene on the street.

It is difficult to see so many people gather together when Konoha is a festival gathering.

And this is just a sight that is usually seen when Ziyuan City enters the night.

Naruto compared this with Konoha, and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration.

"After all, it is a commercial capital, and the flow of people will inevitably be much larger than that of ordinary cities."

Kakashi nodded.

A few years ago, although Ziyuan City was also very prosperous, it was far from being so prosperous and lively.

The development of the ghost country is too fast.

The urban construction of Ziyuan City is not only a manifestation of the industrial capabilities of the ghost country. When Ziyuan City is built on the basis of industry, the city's greening is also well planned. The pollution brought by industry has not appeared in this city.

It is said that under the entire city, there is a super-large purification system with chakra as the core energy, which can keep the city clean at all times.

"Not at all, I have been to the capital of our country of fire, and it is completely incomparable with this place."

Sasuke couldn't help taking a deep breath when he saw the blossoming scenery around him.

Leaving aside the military power represented by the ninja, the industrial power of the ghost country is too strong.

Compared to this, Konoha seems to have fallen behind by an entire era.

Let Sasuke deeply doubt whether the sentence in the textbook of the ninja school-the land of fire is the center of the ninja world, is correct.

Although the two countries are in the ninja world at the same time, the lives of their citizens are different by an era.

The people here are dressed in bright clothes, full of energy, and their eyes are full of a strong and firm will. It seems that from their eyes, they can see that everything is changing, and it is beginning to change towards the beauty that they insist on.

This kind of scene, even Konoha Village can't compare it.

Not to mention the rest of the Fire Country.

Sasuke, who has gone out to perform many C-level missions, learned with his own eyes that the civilians in many areas of the Land of Fire live an extremely difficult and simple life.

Although this is not bad, but...the Kingdom of Fire should be able to do better, instead of being content with the status quo.

"If you want to change, you can only rely on more people to work together. Because the power of one person is limited after all."

Kakashi seemed to sense some of Sasuke's thoughts, and said.

Sasuke nodded, not entangled too much in this matter.

He is just an ordinary ninja. Even if he has any different ideas, he can only keep silent now, unable to make his own voice in the village or even in the country.

My own responsibilities, for the time being, I just need to be a good ninja, instead of being too ambitious and taking on responsibilities that I should not take on myself.

"Next, the three of you go shopping together."

Kakashi said suddenly.

"Eh? Isn't Mr. Kakashi coming with you?"

Sakura turned her head in surprise.

Kakashi said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I have something to deal with here."

"But, the qualifiers are over, right? Jonin, the leader of the other teams, doesn't have any missions."

Sakura thought that something went wrong in the exam.

"It has nothing to do with that, it's a personal matter of mine. In short, the three of you don't play too late, and go back to rest before eleven o'clock. In addition, I paid for your ramen."

Kakashi took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out three ten thousand tael bills.

"Too many."

Sakura was a little afraid to answer.

In any case, spending 30,000 taels for three servings of ramen is a bit too wasteful.

"The extra money, you can spend it by yourself, and treat it as compensation for me not being able to accompany you tonight."

Kakashi said so, and Sakura had no choice but to take the 30,000 taels of banknotes from Kakashi.

Afterwards, Sakura asked curiously: "However, what is Mr. Kakashi going to do with his personal affairs?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Secret."

Saying that, Kakashi turned and left, and quickly disappeared from the crowd without a trace.

"Really, Mr. Kakashi is always mysterious. Tomorrow is a rare opportunity to get together."

Naruto was sullen.

"After all, it's a private matter and there's nothing I can do about it. Let's forgive Kakashi-sensei this time, Naruto."

Sakura comforts Naruto not to be angry.

"What's a private matter, I think it's probably behind our backs to buy unhealthy books, such as "Massacre in Heaven"."

Naruto guessed maliciously.

"impossible?"

Sakura couldn't believe it.

"It sure is."

Naruto made a conclusion on his own, and said in a serious manner.

Sasuke ignored the argument between the two, stared at the direction Kakashi left, and began to guess: private matter? Is it convenient to take us there because we are going to meet someone?

Guessing to no avail, Sasuke stopped thinking about it. Since it's a private matter, Kakashi definitely doesn't want others to disturb him in the past.

As for what Naruto said about buying "Kissing Heaven" behind their backs, it must be the result of a hot brain, and there is no real evidence.

Besides, if you bought "Intimate Heaven", there is no reason to buy it alone behind their backs. Anyway, the impression of bad teachers has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Since Kakashi is gone, let the three of us act together. By the way, I also want to go to the ninja shop here to update my equipment."

"A ninja shop? I really need to update the ninjas in the bag. During the second exam, many kunai and shurikens were damaged."

Sakura nodded in agreement.

"My words are fine."

Naruto does not need to worry about this problem.

He seldom uses kunai and shuriken against the enemy, so the kunai and shuriken in his ninja bag are relatively not particularly worn out, enough for use in the finals.

Just as the three of Naruto were about to leave, a voice suddenly came:

"You are... Naruto."

It seems doubtful, but it is affirmative, and the tone is full of joy.

"Huh?"

Naruto turned around in surprise, and saw a strange combination of a man, a woman, and a dog.

The man has white hair, is wearing pure white clothing, and his pupils are like the color of snowfields, lacking the breath of a living person.

Shorter than Naruto, with a baby face, very cute and immature.

Carrying a long-handled object on the back that is much taller than others, it is wrapped with a white bandage for painting eyeballs, so it is impossible to see the true face.

Beside him stood a girl wearing a red and white maiden costume, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long black hair and a face devoid of emotion, giving off an air of indifference that no stranger should enter.

On the shoulder of the girl in the maiden costume, there is a... let's say it is a four-legged creature like a dog or a cat.

The whole body is pitch black, a single horn grows from the forehead, and a pair of eyes are extremely bright, as if they have been washed with clean water, so they become so clean and clear.

"Uh, who are you?"

Naruto looked at the white-haired boy's face, although he felt familiar, as if he had met somewhere, but he couldn't remember who the other person was and where he met, which made Naruto stunned for a while.

"Naruto, don't you remember me? I'm a child. We met in Namachi a few months ago."

The white-haired boy ran up to Naruto like a child, and said his name happily.

"The Kingdom of Waves? Newborn..."

Naruto tried hard to recall, then remembered something, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't close it for a long time.

"Chi, Chizi!?"

The startled performance is enough to describe Naruto's shock at this time, and he yelled directly.

Looking at the white-haired boy who was younger than him, Naruto couldn't connect him closely with the handsome white-haired boy he saw in the Land of Waves.

The two of them, no matter how you look at it, they are not the same person.

For a while, Naruto didn't know how to complain.
