Chapter 157: Have You Learned It Again?

The door of the Akatsuki meeting room was opened from the inside.

But surprisingly, none of the people who came out were wearing the fire cloud robe that represented blood and dawn.

On the contrary, most of them were not even ninjas -

These people were all quite old, and the youngest one looked 35 years old at first glance. More than half of them wore glasses, and they all exuded a "weak" temperament that was completely different from the ninjas.

They walked in groups of three or two in the bright corridor leading to the elevator. Some were leisurely, some were full of indignation, and some even leaned on crutches and quarreled with the people next to them, and their voices were only louder than Kyojuro's -

"Idiot! From the beginning of writing the legal text, you should have thought of all the situations! Every time you "pardon the law", it comes at the cost of the country's credibility!"

"I think you are getting more and more confused as you get older! The details of each case are different, and the reasons for each criminal's crime are also different. How can you use such a rigid "

"A crime is a crime. Only this fact is important. Motives should not be considered from the beginning. Do we believe what the prisoner says he thinks? Why, you are so anxious? Did my suggestion touch your sore spot? It seems that the ten years you spent in prison when you were young is true?"

"Old man, let's talk about the facts. Isn't it too mean to dig up old accounts and make personal attacks? Do all those who are in prison deserve it?"

"Dare to scold me, old man! You'll eat my crutches——"

Bang!

Xiao Nan, who stayed in the conference room, waved her sleeves and threw out two paper men to close the door for her, isolating the embarrassing live broadcast of the fight between middle-aged and elderly people.

She was wearing a simple black uniform, with her left hand on the back of the chair and her right hand pinching her brows, and she said softly: "I have never been so tired when I was in meetings with those dangerous guys in the world. The life of a ninja is simple. Once a decision is made, it is executed immediately, and then it is a matter of improvisation.

"But like now... This meeting lasted a whole morning, and four of the fourteen laws that were originally planned to be compiled today can satisfy everyone. With such efficiency, when will we be able to discuss a decent result? ”

When the new law is implemented, it will be the day when the de-Hanzo-ized Rain Country is born.

Although this country is gradually prospering, it has been isolated from the world for several years.

Now everyone only has a few tasks left to make it reappear in the world, but it is precisely these last few tasks that almost make Xiaonan's patience exhausted.

"I also know that everyone is looking forward to that day...

"But, didn't Miss Shinobu say that? Discuss more now and ask everyone to consider all aspects, so that when the law is implemented, they will not be embarrassed to fill the loopholes when encountering specific cases.

"Otherwise, unjust and wrong cases will emerge in an endless stream, and other countries will take the opportunity to attack our new system. At that time, it will become very difficult to quickly absorb foreigners to fill the population gap in the Rain Country. "

This explanation came from a red-haired woman in her thirties wearing glasses at the other end of the conference room.

She sorted a stack of papers into a folder, then walked over and handed it to Konan.

This person was Karin's mother, Kyoji. More than three years ago, she and Karin were brought here from the prison of Kusagakure Village by Kyojuro to live.

"Although those elders are a bit long-winded, they are all professionals invited from various places after careful consideration by Kyojuro, and more than half of them have valuable experience in managing cities or villages. It's just that they lived in different regions and cultures in the past, so their views on the same thing will also be different.

"So, I think letting them discuss here does not involve wrangling about power or responsibility. Not only should we not stop them, but we should let them continue to talk and explain all the problems clearly and thoroughly."

Because the management of the Rain Country was killed by Pain in a rage, Konan herself has no experience in managing a city of tens of thousands of people.

As for the details of currency issuance, hydropower engineering, and urban planning, even the well-read Kocho Shinobu knows very little, and Konan knows nothing about it...

Considering that everyone has his own expertise, Kyojuro relied on his unique "popularity" to invite professionals from different fields from all over the world as consultants.

These people have held important positions, but most of them were rejected by daimyo, nobles, or ninja villages in various countries for similar reasons.

Some of them were dismissed, some were sidelined, some were imprisoned, and some were simply frustrated.

So, although these people have conflicting ideas, they are all opponents of the "daimyo-ninja village" system without exception.

Adhering to the principle of listening to both sides, Kyojuro used various methods to get all these people here.

However, this consultant is not that consultant. Unlike the consultant elders of Konoha, not all of these people serve in the management of the Rain Country, and they play more of a role similar to a think tank or encyclopedia.

In other words, it is useless for them to agree with everything that Konan, as the head of state, opposes.

"This is all the records of today's meeting. Please think carefully after you go back. After all, you are the one who has to make the final decision."

"Thank you, Miss Xingzhi."

Konan nodded slightly, but still decided to give this thing to Shinobu Kocho to look at it again to see if the process can be accelerated.

Although she has grown in all aspects of governing the country in the past three years, that little girl who seems to be frail is always the first helper she thinks of when she questions herself.

"Is there anything else you need from me? If not, I'll take my leave first."

Xingzhi walked to the door, already planning to leave.

"There is something." Xiaonan stopped her.

"I forgot to tell you before. This morning, Miss Shinobu conveyed the news to me about Koso and Anjuro."

Xingzhi stood still with an expression of listening intently.

"When they were guests at Mr. Mifune's place in Iron Country, they found two anonymous Uzumaki clan members."

"Another clan member shows up!"

Uzumaki Xingzhi's orange-red eyes flashed with surprise, and then showed a bit of concern, "In the Iron Kingdom, should their life be considered comfortable?"

"Yes. These two are brothers. After dyeing their hair black, they worked as pastry chefs in the Kingdom of Iron for more than ten years. They both had grandchildren not long ago."

Konan relayed Anjuro's words, "They have a big business in Iron Country, so it's probably impossible to ask them to move here.

"But with the persuasion of Xing Jurou and Xiang Lu, they are willing to come to the Land of Rain to reunite with you for some time. If I guessed correctly, they should have already been packing their bags while we were talking."

"...I never thought I would see such a day in my lifetime."

Xingzhilu smiled contentedly and said: "I think my grandparents and grandparents would be very happy if they knew Izumi. After so many years, I was able to reunite with my clan members who were far away. It was really thanks to these two children who were willing to take the trouble to find them. Especially Xingjulang, after all, this is not his responsibility..."

Xingzhi paused, "Master Xiaonan, if possible, I hope to take two days off to prepare.

"Let me entrust the work of the scribe to the two juniors who can control pen and ink. I have collaborated with them before on the research of new storage scrolls, and they are both very reliable children."

"You are talking about the young brothers that Giyuu brought from Konoha..."

Xiaonan nodded, "The older brother of the two brothers has been working under me and has never made any mistakes. He should be competent. After all, he is an intelligence talent trained by Shimura Danzo..."

Speaking of Shimura Danzo, Uzumaki Ange's eyebrows suddenly darkened: "There is one thing I haven't asked for a long time.

"Lord Konan, is there any news about Nagato?"

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, Xiaonan's stiff expression collapsed for a moment as if wax melted.

But after years of hard work, she immediately changed back to a brave face, shaking her head as if there was no fluctuation in her heart.

"If Nagato himself doesn't want to be found, I'm afraid...no one in this world can do anything about it. He has more ways to block sentient ninjutsu than we imagined."

Just a special sealing talisman can have a similar effect, not to mention that Nagato himself knows many techniques to isolate perception.

"Sorry to make you sad..."

Uzumaki Aneda had learned Kagura's inner eye from Anjuro, so naturally she would not be deceived by Konan's pretending to be strong.

"What a pity... If he had waited a little longer and could see what the Rain Country is like now, he might not have continued with his dangerous plan."

Hearing what Xingzhi said, Xiaonan's fists in her wide sleeves were so tight that they turned white.

Three years ago, just a few days before Uchiha Giyuu, Butterfly Ninja and Infernal Anjuro moved the orphans to the Land of Rain, Nagato suddenly disappeared without warning.

Carrying Xiaonan on his back, he met privately with "Uchiha Madara" and Black Zetsu at the former headquarters of the Akatsuki organization, and then disappeared without a trace.

Nagato left a letter in the old headquarters, saying that he could no longer trust Konan, who was influenced by Anjurou, and decided to exclude her from the Akatsuki organization.

And he himself will continue the ultimate weapon plan to "solve all disputes once and for all" with other members of the Akatsuki organization...

This matter is very strange when you think about it carefully.

Because Konan remembers very clearly that before Nagato disappeared, he was so looking forward to meeting Anjuro again. But in the blink of an eye, he actually left the Country of Rain and left immediately——

Although she had suspected that there were other possibilities, the so-called "Uchiha Madara" who had been hiding his head since the day he met them should not be Nagato's opponent.

Even if he kidnaps Nagato, given the latter's character, he won't let him get away with anything.

When a ninja of his level fights an enemy, he will never leave any traces behind...

After much deliberation, Konan finally accepted the possibility that "Nagato still couldn't let go of his identity as a god", endured the pain of being betrayed by his best friend, and focused all his energy on building the Land of Rain.

Nowadays, this country has a completely new look, but there is not even an old friend around me.

Xiaonan was surrounded by a sudden sense of absurdity. She stood silently, staring at the folder in her hand in a daze. It took a while before she came back to her senses.

"Apricot branch?"

She looked around and found that the conference room was empty.

She actually didn't even know when Miss Xingzhi left.

The quarrel outside the door has also disappeared. It seems that all the participants should have taken the elevator to leave.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, stared at the conference hall and turned off the lights.

The seat that originally belonged to "Penn" was completely plunged into darkness.

She turned away with a heavy heart, and walked along the corridor to the elevator entrance, but met an unexpected person.

"Mr. Tobizaru?"

This old man with a pipe in his mouth and a hunched body is also one of the "consultants" invited by Kyojuro from outside.

It is said that Mr. Tobizaru used to be a ninja for a period of time, but fortunately his main job is a civilian job, so he lived to be over 60 years old, which is three to four times the average life expectancy of the population of Rain Country.

"Why are you still here?"

Just looking at his appearance, it is really hard to imagine that such an old smoker has managed a city or village.

However, even someone as unreliable as Jiraiya can become one of the "Three Ninjas of Konoha", and Konan trusts Kyojuro unconditionally, so even if she has doubts, she has always treated this old man with courtesy.

And the old man does have some real skills.

Every time he has a meeting, he either doesn't speak, but once he speaks, he can definitely give a very experienced solution. He is not the kind of person who only raises questions.

Xiaonan had a vague feeling that "more than one year of management experience" alone was probably not enough to summarize the entire experience of this little old man.

"Well, I'm ashamed to say..."

The old man coughed twice, "Those guys thought I smelled too much smoke and didn't want to go with me.

"Besides, I'm afraid those guys would fight in the elevator and break my old bones, so I might as well wait for the next one here."

"That's it." Xiaonan originally wanted to turn into a piece of paper and fly back to the office directly, but it was undoubtedly a bit impolite to leave the invited guests here alone, "Then I'll go with you."

"Haha, if you don't mind the old man's smell of smoke."

So, the two of them waited at the elevator entrance.

Since the elevator itself was built outside the wall of the building, and this was the highest point of the entire Yuyin Village, even if they didn't talk, the two of them wouldn't feel bored just looking at the scenery.

But the old man was always moved by the scene, and couldn't help but talk about the past.

"Speaking of which, many years ago, my teacher brought me here. At that time, Hanzo had just established this village, and the scale was less than one-tenth of what it is today. "

"Have you also met Hanzo of the Salamander?"

Konan was a little surprised.

"Yes, although Hanzo is only a few years older than me, he is of the same generation as my teacher. The five major ninja villages were established not long ago, and Hanzo of the Salamander was the first leader of all small countries who was willing to imitate the ninja village system, so my teacher made a special trip to meet him."

The old man squinted his eyes and took two puffs of his cigarette holder, "However, he has great ambitions. Hanzo wants to do more than just imitate, he also wants to go one step further like you, and completely get rid of the daimyo, the nominal person in charge.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Rain was originally from the old ninja clan, so he was unwilling to accept the new thing called the Ninja Village System... My teacher considered that only Hanzo and the five great nations had the same interests in this matter, so he suggested that the Daimyo of the Land of Fire semi-force the Daimyo of the Land of Rain to stay by his side."

The elevator arrived, and the two stepped in one after another. The old man continued, "But have you ever thought about it? Now that you have replaced Hanzo and want to establish a de-ninja country, aren't you standing on the opposite side of the five great nations again?

"What's more, according to your philosophy, it is absolutely forbidden for this land where the three countries meet to become a battlefield for the great powers again... This alone has seriously damaged the interests of the great powers, and it is inevitable that the Land of Rain will become the target of public criticism.

"Now the Daimyo of the Land of Rain is still in the hands of the Land of Fire, and the idea that the Daimyo himself is the ruler of the country is also rooted in the hearts of most people in the world.

"Back then, they detained your Daimyo because of inconsistent interests, and now they can push him to the front again for the same reason and use him as a weight against you. As long as he opens his mouth, he will label you all as traitors of the Rain Country, and then the Rain Country will never have peace..."

"He is a prisoner..."

Xiao Nan was a little disapproving, "What use can it be?"

"Your country has been away from the daimyo for too long, so there is no such concept at all.

"The importance of the daimyo does not lie in who he is, but in the fact that the two words daimyo themselves represent the legitimacy of the ruling power. With this legitimacy, you can do whatever you want in this country."

The old man explained in a subtle tone: "So I suggest that you either use all means to let the daimyo of the Rain Country publicly recognize that you have the legal right to govern this country, and also let him admit that everything is done with his knowledge.

"Or, find a way to secretly steal him out of the Fire Country and hold him in your own hands. At that time, you can treat him however you want, but you can't let him become the mouthpiece of the big country against you."

"Public recognition?" Xiao Nan silently pondered two methods, "Steal him from the Fire Country? "

Which of these two methods is easy?

During the second half of the time they were together in the elevator, Xiaonan remained silent, but could not think of a way to achieve either of the two.

Besides, it was difficult for her to even meet the Daimyo of the Land of Rain, so how could those guardian ninjas be easily dealt with?

Don't let the Daimyo of the Land of Rain not meet or steal, but be regarded as an assassin who went to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, then things will be really hard to explain.

"In fact, if you change your mindset, it's not difficult to meet the Daimyo."

After getting off the elevator, Mr. Tobiru suggested: "The Chuunin Examination will be held soon, and the daimyo from all participating countries will be present. At that time, as a leading ninja, it is not natural for him to have a private conversation with his monarch. Something?"

"But we and the Earth Country are considered enemies. We have been fighting over several minerals for several years."

Xiaonan frowned, "Onoki didn't invite us, so we have no reason to attend."

"Look, I just told you and you forgot."

The old man waved his hand, "The right to declare war is the prerogative of the 'ruler'. The daimyo didn't say that your two countries are enemy countries, so what kind of enemy country are you? As long as he asks you to take the chunin exam as a daimyo, of course you can go."

Xiaonan understood immediately, but a new question emerged: "But we can't contact him, so how can we get the daimyo to give us an 'order'?"

“This is the best thing to do, but of course, it’s also the thing you least bother to do.

"There are several young nobles from the Fire Country who are very close to the big names from the Rain Country."

Sure enough, the old man had already thought of a countermeasure, "You bribed them in the name of Sansho Hanzo, saying that there are several outstanding young ninjas appearing in the Land of Rain this year, and they are very likely to win the Chunin Exam. This is natural." It will reach the ears of the Daimyo of the Land of Rain.

"As far as I know, your current daimyo is a half-year-old child who has suffered from low self-esteem for a long time. He has been criticized and despised by all kinds of things since he was a child. Now that he finally has a chance to feel proud, he will not let it go easily."

The elevator has arrived. The two came to the streets of Yuyin Village.

Although this was not the first time that she got a solution to a problem from this old man, Xiaonan couldn't help but look at him with admiration:

"You are really secretive. If I hadn't promised Xingjuro not to delve into your past, I would still want to know what kind of person you were in the past and why you came here..."

The old man seemed to be choked and coughed a few times: "There is nothing to explore. To the people in my hometown, I am just a sinner with no security and no place to stay..."

After that, he waved his cigarette rod at Xiaonan to say goodbye, and walked slowly away along the street.

"Think carefully about what I said before. If necessary, there is no harm in telling that little girl who knows how to escape."

[So, is he waiting for me on purpose today? 】

Xiaonan watched the old man disappear at the corner of the street, and then he turned into thousands of palm-sized pieces of white paper, passed over the tall buildings, and returned to her office through the top-floor window of the Government Affairs Building.

But she had just landed and took shape when she heard the noise of people in the public office area outside the office, and there were cheers from time to time.

"what happened?"

Xiaonan opened the door in confusion, only to find that there was no one at the desk outside, and the door to the rest area was surrounded by people.

"That's awesome! One more!"

"Xin, that fake painting of a super beast of yours can be considered a secret technique. Let's demonstrate it to him."

"You don't want to harm others! It would be bad if he really learned it..."

"What's wrong? The more people who know that kind of ninjutsu, the easier it will be for us..."

"makes sense."

【Who are they talking about? Is there anyone new coming? 】

Xiaonan was a little curious, and silently came behind the subordinates with her body floating off the ground, and finally saw the little animal being watched in the rest area.

But once I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes away anymore.

【What a beautiful child. 】

This is everyone's first impression.

【What clear eyes. 】

Xiaonan stared at the expressionless young man sitting on the sofa, feeling warm in her heart for no reason.

When she glanced at the end of the other person's blue hair, which was the same color as hers, the blood all over her body seemed to become smoother, and her body seemed to be wrapped in clouds. She was obviously helpless, but she felt comfortable and comfortable. .

【This feeling……】

It was as if the loneliness I had felt not long ago when I thought of Nagato had been completely driven away from my body!

Suddenly, two crystal tears rolled in his eyes.

Xiao Nan was shocked, and quickly shaved the corners of his eyes with his little finger, constantly asking himself: "What's going on?" 】

【Am I under some illusion? 】

[Who is that child? 】

And it was as if he was feeling something.

The face-paralyzed boy, surrounded by the crowd and stars holding the moon in the middle, turned his head. The moment he saw Xiaonan, his eyes and lips instantly curved into three crescents, directly touching the softest place deep in Xiaonan's heart.

"Eh?????!"

"He laughed!"

"He actually laughed!"

"Isn't it too cute?!"

All the civil servants in the Government Affairs Department instantly turned into a group of weird uncles and aunties. Not only did they yell and scream, but some actually wanted to reach out and touch the child's head!

At this time, a muscular arm reached out in time and slapped all the dirty hands back with a single sweep.

"Have you people made a mistake?"

Immortal Kawakawa Genya, who is twelve years old but 1.8 meters tall, stood up, and the crowd of onlookers retreated as if they were avoiding ghosts.

"The two of us are here to do business, not to be your mascots and perform acrobatics!"

He punched upwards, and the blood vessels on his dark biceps pulsed, "If anyone comes here to cause trouble again, I will crush his bones, and then I will make another one myself and put it in to compensate him. Do you understand me?" ?”

No one spoke. Because they believe that Immortal Kawagenya can really do it.

Immortal River stared at those narrow eyes, scanning everyone's face like a searchlight, and finally stopped at Xiaonan, who had an extremely complicated expression.

"Miss Xiaonan?" He asked in confusion.

[What kind of fun does she see? 】

Everyone immediately heard the sound and turned around to look, "Lord Xiaonan (Angel)" appeared one after another.

Facing the situation of being watched by everyone, Xiaonan forcibly suppressed her previous expression and nodded slowly as always: "If you don't work, what are you doing here?"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame. This isn't lunch break after all.

Fortunately, one of Xiaonan's disciples, Ziyanghua, was among these people. She didn't have so many scruples, and came to Xiao Nan excitedly and said: "Teacher, this little brother came to the office half an hour ago. Because he is so cute, we just played with him..."

Xiao Nan glanced at the long-haired boy with some concern. Seeing that the boy didn't seem to care about being called "cute," she didn't interrupt Hydrangea's narration.

After rambling for two hundred words, Hydrangea finally got to the point.

"...Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai thought he was thirsty, so he made him a cold drink on the spot. But he didn't expect...

Ziyanghua picked up a tea cup from the coffee table in the lounge. The ice cubes in it were radiating cold air to the surroundings. "He actually imitated the same thing and did the same thing immediately!"

Xiaonan was slightly surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, he didn't even tie the seal." Another person added: "After we heard about it, we thought it was incredible and wanted to witness it in person, so we all gathered around."

"Unexpectedly, not only Shiro's ice escape, but every time we teach him a new ninjutsu, he only needs to watch it once or twice, and he can reproduce it immediately."

"He can even copy my secret skills..."

"And it's more powerful and has more details..."

You said something to me in the hall, making Xiaonan very speechless.

Forget about ordinary ninjutsu, isn't the reason why secret arts are called secret arts because they need to be kept secret?

Some people would actually ask others to learn their secret skills just to watch the excitement... She has really seen everything after living for a long time.

Although this sounds a bit unbelievable, but so many people say this, then this child is probably as special as Anjuro and the others, otherwise it would not be Immortal Kawa Genya who brought him here.

"Okay, I've seen enough excitement, let's all disperse."

After figuring out the cause and effect, Xiaonan gave the order with a cold face, and everyone reluctantly left, not forgetting to wave goodbye to the long-haired boy.

It's just that the child's eyes were always on Xiao Nan, and he was highly focused, and didn't pay attention to what other people meant.

After most people left, there were only four people left in the lounge: Konan, Hydrangea, Immortal Kawa Genya, and the long-haired boy.

"..."

Xiao Nan came to the long-haired boy and squatted down in front of him with some anxiety. He looked at her very generously, and his clear eyes could see the whole thing at a glance, just like the clear sky.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked, "What should I call you?"

It's not "what's your name" or "what's your name", but "how should I call you" - it seems a bit too polite.

Xiaonan herself didn't know why, she just didn't want to leave any bad impression on the child.

Ziyanghua reminded in a low voice: "Teacher, this child doesn't seem to like talking..."

"Muichiro Tokitoru. You can just call me Muichiro." This was the second time Muichiro Tokitoru spoke after entering the room.

The first time was when Bai showed him Ice Escape, he said "I understand".

"!!!!!!" Ziyanghua covered her mouth in surprise, "You actually said so many words to the teacher in one breath! You obviously didn't even tell us your name before!"

Genya Fusukawa covered his face. He was a little worried that Muichiro's strange temper towards strangers would affect their cooperative relationship with Konan.

I didn't expect this guy to be so smart.

However, he was relieved.

Muichiro turned to look at Hydrangea and said slowly: "I won't tell you because when I think of you calling my name in that high-pitched voice before, it makes my skin stand on end and I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Why are you talking like Brother Yiyong..."

Ziyanghua just felt that the other party's way of speaking was somewhat familiar, but she immediately realized that there seemed to be some differences between the two, but she couldn't tell what the differences were at the moment.

"The next time you speak, think carefully before speaking. Don't just say half of it."

Muichiro ended his communication with Hydrangea and turned back to look at Konan. His expression immediately relaxed a lot, at least he looked happy.

Xiaonan found it incredible. They had never met before, but there seemed to be a natural tie between them.

Next to him, Xuanya Fusukawa looked very familiar when he saw the expressions of the older and the younger.

The first time he saw Taketori Kimimaro, he felt even more excited than when he reunited with his eldest brother Immortal Kawa Saneya in the underworld.

That's the body's involuntary blood response. After all, from a genetic level, he and Kimimaro are as similar as identical twins.

He had never met before, but sometimes he could tell what Kimimaro was thinking at a glance.

Muichiro Tokitoru was resurrected by Giyuu using Konan's hair. It is normal to have such a reaction when meeting him for the first time, and he will get used to it after getting along with him for a while.

"They say that no matter what ninjutsu you are, you can learn it once you see it..."

Xiaonan glanced at the cup filled with ice cubes on the coffee table, "Is it true?"

"no."

Muichiro Tokitoru denied.

Xiaonan was just slightly stunned, but Ziyanghua was anxious: "But you just knew that you could repeat Bai's ice escape..."

"That's just what you get when you don't observe enough."

Muichiro said seriously: "I was born with the three chakra attributes of water, earth, and wind. Only the ninjutsu, secret techniques, and blood succession limits based on these three and the changes of yin and yang can I learn immediately.

"As for the two attributes of fire and thunder, I have not seen particularly powerful thunder and fire ninjutsu, so I have no plans to develop them.

"So, next time you make a judgment, you should observe longer, so that you won't come to such an outrageous conclusion."

"You guy..."

The hydrangeas are already red and warm.

"Please calm down..." Who would have thought that it was Genya Immortal who said this, "And Muichiro, please stop saying a few words."

He felt as if he was back when Zhuai was training.

Muichiro is almost a polar opposite when it comes to dealing with people he likes and strangers, and is sometimes more likely to cause misunderstandings than Giyu.

On the other side, Xiaonan looked a little stunned, as if he had heard something incredible:

"You said you were born with the three attributes of water, earth, and wind?"

Muichiro glanced at Genya Fusugawa and nodded.

[How could such a coincidence happen again...]

【hair color……】

[That indescribable feeling. 】

[There are also three types of innate chakra attributes, which are exactly the same...]

There were more and more thoughts in Xiaonan's mind, and they became more and more unbelievable, "Didn't my parents die in the war back then?" 】

She stared intently at Muichiro's eyes and nose, and suddenly thought of a saying that was widely circulated among orphans - Butterfly Ninja was Orochimaru's artificial human modeled on the cells of the first Hokage.

She had never believed such nonsense before.

But……

When she first met Yiyong, Yiyong asked her if she wanted to have her hair done.

When she first met Anjuro, Anjuro also asked her if she wanted to have her hair done.

When she first met Butterfly Ninja, Butterfly Ninja also asked her if she wanted to wear her hair.

[Is this really possible? 】

[Miss Shinobu ‘inherited’ almost all of Orochimaru’s property, could it be said that...]

Unknowingly, Xiaonan became one of the people closest to the truth in the world, but her idea was not so firm.

"Muichiro..."

Xiaonan took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and there was a square piece of paper lying in her hand, "Can you do this like me?"

After saying that, the square piece of paper folded up on its own without anyone actively touching it, and turned into a small frog.

After she finished all this, she stared at Wuichiro with sharp eyes and handed over a piece of paper of the same size.

Muichiro didn't take it.

He thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves that were too long, and a larger piece of paper peeled off his arm like skin.

"You really did it?!"

Hydrangea exclaimed.

She is Xiaonan's apprentice, and she knows very well how difficult it is to learn the art of God's Paper Master.

After so many years, she has been able to create paper the size of playing cards out of thin air, and this is already the limit.

Xiaonan didn't say a word, she quietly watched the white paper gradually deform -

Muichiro did not follow the same pattern of folding frogs. As time went by, the shape of a bird became more and more obvious!

And at the moment when the head of the paper bird was completed, it suddenly "soared into the sky" as if it had a life of its own. Then it flew at a low altitude and snatched the frog from Xiaonan's hand. The window flew out.

As for the fate of the two "animals" after that, Muichiro didn't care.

He turned back and looked at Xiaonan again, as if he wanted to hear her evaluation of the performance just now.

But Xiaonan stared at him and asked a question full of countless emotions: "Who are you?"

Muichiro remained silent.

"Can't answer?"

Konan couldn't help but hold Muichiro's right hand, with an expression like a mother whose child had been stolen, "Still can't tell?"

Muichiro spoke.

He pointed at Immortal Kawagenya: "He just asked me to say less."

Immortal Kawa Xuanya: "..."

Hydrangea:"……"

Xiaonan: "..."

This sudden awkward silence made the "initiator" Immortal Kawagenya feel uncomfortable all over. He really wanted to chase the bird and frog and jump out of the window.

He glanced at the clock on the wall and shouted, "Miss Xiaonan, Wuichiro and I have a mission this time. We were surrounded by your subordinates for so long and a lot of time was wasted.

"You know the temper of Senior Ren. If we go back late, I will definitely be sent to the hospital again..."

"In that case..."

Konan looked at Muichiro Tokitoru deeply, then stood up and said, "You guys are busy, and I happen to have something to do and have to go out for a while."

"That's perfect." Genya Fusugawa patted Muichiro's shoulder, "Let's go, we have to go to the Intelligence Department quickly to understand the location of this mission."

"Hydrangea, lead the way for them."

"I know, teacher!"

After everyone left, Xiaonan couldn't explain how she felt now.

She stood there for a while, then suddenly turned into countless pieces of paper and poured out of the window, heading all the way to the Rain Country Hospital.

A few minutes later, in an independent office of the Intelligence Section.

"I'm Tayuya, and the one over there who looks a little weak is Nobu. There are two of us on duty here during the day."

The person in charge of the office is a cheerful girl with orange-red hair and a flute hanging from her waist. Judging from her skin color, she must be a local.

"Both of us were rescued by Giyuu Uchiha from the fire pit. Since you are also helping him, then we are our own people, so relax."

This girl doesn't seem to be very interested in Tokitoru Muichiro's "superpowers", but instead cares about her work.

“Let’s talk about our operating procedures first.

"The two of us have different divisions of labor. I am responsible for collecting information for Anjuro about people who are oppressed by nobles and officials. Now half of the civil servants in this building were recruited by him and Xiang Ling from all over the world. I take the credit for this. Say less and account for one-third.”

Tayuya patted the filing cabinet on the far right side of the room, "In addition, I also want to issue commissions to ninja villages in various countries to investigate and observe the war orphans living outside. They are also the largest source of population in the Rain Country. . Letter, it’s your turn.”

The letter over there is from the young ninja who encrypted and decrypted text for Shimura Danzo when Uchiha Mikoto made a big fuss at the root headquarters.

After the destruction of the Roots, in addition to the two ninjas from the Aburame clan, Giyuu packed up all the orphans trained by the Roots and took them away, including Shin's younger brother Matsuri (later Sai).

In order to prevent the two brothers from being separated, Yiyong took Xin, who was seriously ill, to the Land of Rain, but he was cured within a month after being given to Butterfly Shinobu.

Later, in order to repay his kindness, Xin proposed to work for the volunteers and came here.

"My working method is no different from Tayu's. I also remotely issue tasks to large and small ninja villages and even gold exchange houses to investigate missing persons around the world, and submit them to Giyuu in order of priority according to the severity of the investigation results. "

He looked at Fusigawa and Muichiro and smiled happily, "In the past, he was alone. Naturally, there would be cases with lower priority, that is, cases with fewer missing persons, that were too late to handle, so they were left alone. But. Now with the help of you two, I believe it will save Yiyong a lot of time. "

As he spoke, he formed a seal with his hands, and the ink on an encrypted scroll immediately rose into the air, and then jumped into the white paper on the table, turning into neat words.

Just when he was about to quickly browse the content above, he raised his head and found that Muichiro Tokitoru was staring at him intently.

"Are you good at it again?" Xin asked with a complicated expression.

Muichiro nodded: "Yes."

Transparent World is so useful.

It's just that Yiyong has a very traditional "traditional view". He feels that since people call it a secret skill, they don't want to spread it to others, so there is no need to learn it.

But Muichiro had no such burden. He is a curious baby at heart and is very interested in new things.

"really……"

Anyway, it was what Danzo taught. Xin decided not to be entangled anymore. He picked up the document paper full of words and glanced at it: "This is your first mission. There are three villages near the End Valley of the Land of Fire. A total of five hunters were lost in one month.”

He reached out and handed the document over, handing it into the hands of Genya Fusugawa, who looked more like a manager.

"The number of people is very small, and hunters are inherently high-risk professions. They are unlikely to be kidnapped by humans. They are more likely to be attacked by animals, so they are a low-priority type.

"However, Konoha ninjas usually go out regularly to clean up those extremely dangerous beasts in the wild. Five people have disappeared in just one month. It is still a bit suspicious, so I leave it to you."

"Understood."

Immortal Kawagen Genya collected the documents and was about to leave with Muichiro to pack his luggage on the road when he heard a familiar and harsh voice coming from the public office area outside: "Team member Tokitoru Muichiro, member Immortal Kawagen Genya Mi! Team member Tokito Muichiro, team member Fusukawa Genya!"

When the two heard this, they looked at each other in unison.

This was by no means the first time that the tiger had sent a message to them in this world, but he had never used the word "team member". After all, there was no Demon Slayer Corps in this world.

Knowing that something was wrong, the two people quickly came to the hall and saw Yan Yan standing on the blades of the ceiling fan on the roof.

The rest of the staff were a little unbearable by the noise from this bird. At this time, seeing the reactions of Muichiro and Xuanmi, they were also a little confused.

"Team member Tokitoru Muichiro! Team member Immortal Kawagenya!"

"After hearing the order, immediately put down all tasks in hand and rush to Shinobu-sama's office!"

"There are more important urgent tasks that must be executed immediately! Execute immediately!"
