Should she reduce the frequency of flash sale prices and discounted prices? It always feels like the host keeps buying discounted prices, which feels so bad...
While the system was still going through a storm of thoughts about discounts and less discounts, Zhixue had returned to the Anbu and saw the familiar silver hair.
"Hey, did the mission go well?" Kakashi greeted Zhixue cordially as soon as he saw her.
"Huh? Why do I feel that you are smiling?" Zhixue approached Kakashi and said doubtfully.
"Ahem, I just thought of something happy." Kakashi straightened the ANBU mask and waved.
He definitely wasn't gloating over seeing this little girl being taught a lesson by Shisui, really.
Anbu's mission is dark and boring, but Zhiyuki hasn't been exposed to it too much, which may be why Kakashi wants her to adapt slowly.
Suddenly, the day has passed, darkness has enveloped the sky, the lights are bright, and Konoha is bustling with activity. Although it is not as diverse as the nearby market, it is one of the few joys for ordinary people besides work.
Zhixue went home with some fresh vegetables after playing around for a while just after get off work.
After returning home from ANBU, I walked nearly half of Konoha before returning to the Uchiha clan. Different from the bustle outside, this place seemed to be full of desolation, without a trace of vitality. The sense of depression was extremely obvious under the precipitation of the night, even while walking on the road. They all felt a little uncomfortable, but Zhixue didn't care much about it, but there were always some people who didn't know why and would vent their dissatisfaction and resentment stored in their hearts on others.
"Look, isn't this Uchiha Shiyuki? She's actually wearing an ANBU outfit. She really looks like that."
"Sure enough, it was because our Uchiha clan disliked her that she became Konoha's lackey, right? Hahaha!"
"Can Konoha's ANBU now be able to get in even the civilian ninjas can't defeat the crane!? It's really sad..." Several drunken youths on the Uchiha streets shouted with hostility.
Hearing the deliberate mocking sounds coming from beside him, Zhixue stopped, looked at the three young Uchiha tribesmen behind him, and extended an international friendly gesture.
"Hey, is it funny to discuss other people? You three boring bean sprouts!"
Hearing the bean sprouts being scolded, the three people's drunken annoyance instantly surged up.
"You vase, I'm talking about you, but I'm still giving you face after just two words?" The drunk young man, blushing and thick-necked, took out the kunai from his waist and poked Zhixue.
Snap, the sharp blade passed through the air, but did not hit the target. Zhixue pinched the young man's arm with one hand, chakra attached to the palm of his hand, and hit the young man's chin with one blow, sending him flying out 5 , 6 meters away.
"Damn it, you dare to hit someone, let's see how we teach you a lesson!"
The other two young men also had angry eyes and wanted to rush up and give Zhixue a severe lesson, but they were subdued to the ground by Zhixue after barely being able to resist for a few rounds.
After the fight broke out, the security team arrived not long after, and after describing the descriptions of the surrounding residents, they detained the three drunken youths.
"Lord Patriarch..." Zhixue bowed after seeing Fugaku coming.
"It's okay. These young people have bad tempers. Everyone in the clan knows it, so don't worry about it." Fugaku sighed and said.
In fact, there are many factors that contributed to this fight. Under Konoha's surveillance and isolation policy for many years, the Uchiha clan is now like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment. Zhiyuki is now wearing Konoha ANBU. When he returned to his clan in his costume, he was bumped into by a few drunken hawks young people, and a conflict was inevitable.
After saying goodbye to Fugaku, Zhixue left here, and Fugaku looked at Zhixue leaving and pondered deeply.
Zhixue seems to have changed a lot recently. What happened?
Chapter 36: Anbu's Mission
Several days after Zhixue entered the Anbu, Zhixue's mission gradually deepened from simple patrols to some secret tasks, such as delivering secret documents to the Fire Country stronghold and secretly dealing with some unscrupulous and incompetent miscellaneous people. fish.
Stab!
Blood splashed on the window along with the silver light. After a scream in the dark night, Zhixue picked up the curtain on the side and wiped the blood on the grass pheasant sword, and then took out a sealed scroll from the dead body. Report back to Konoha.
She has taken on several tasks of this type, but she doesn't seem to dislike it because the task time requirements are relatively long, so she has more time to fish, and she can also take the opportunity to look through the corpses of the deceased. Do you have any savings at home?
Anyway, people are unclean, and money is also unclean. After leaving, Zhixue's heart was not at all disturbed.
Ding, you have completed the daily fishing task and received rewards - dried small fish (two cans) and pupil power slow growth liquid (one small bottle).
Zhixue returned to the lounge tiredly. He was too tired to even take a shower. He took off his blood-stained coat and mask and lay down on the bed.
"Oh, being an ANBU is so tiring. I really want to be a salted fish..." Zhixue took out a bottle of eye drops-like pupil power slowly increasing liquid and dropped it on his eyes, then blinked.
The rewards these days seem to be very good, but in fact they are of no use to stop the snow, such as the pan that can bounce all bullets, the white stockings that will never get dirty, and the bright red poisonous apple that rises to the sky immediately after taking a bite. It seems that apart from the stockings, she Not much use.
Zhixue still misses the days when he was in the police force. He basically had a lot of free time every day, from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m., and even during working hours, he could let his shadow clone lead the team and go fishing by himself.
After Zhixue finished handling the remaining incidents in the Anbu, he put on the ordinary fishnet pattern on his body.
Unconsciously, Zhixue's short hair had grown to her elbows. In order to facilitate movement, Zhixue sat in front of a full-length mirror, bit the hair tie, and tied her long black hair into a single ponytail with her dexterous little hands.
Looking at myself sitting on the bench in the full-length mirror, although the original childish aura is still intact, there is an unusual touch of confidence and murderousness than usual. Underneath the delicate face of pink and jade, it seems that there is something hidden. A hint of tiredness.
Zhixue rubbed his slightly baby-fat little face, stood up from the bench, picked up the things on the side and returned to the Uchiha clan.
Although the atmosphere in the clan was as depressing as usual this time, Zhixue did not encounter any trouble and returned home smoothly. He fell into a sweet dream soon after lying on the bed.
Not long after, when Zhisui came back from get off work exhausted physically and mentally, he looked at Zhixue lying on the bed sleeping with the door open and sighed. Then he straightened Zhixue's shoes and covered him with the quilt. build.
After closing the door, a figure appeared at the window near Shisui.
"Shisui..."
Itachi opened the window, jumped in front of Shisui, and took off the ANBU mask.
"Ah, it's Itachi. You must have just come back now, right? Why are you so anxious to find me?" Shisui said with a gentle smile to One to Seven.
"It's...a matter within the clan." Itachi looked a little lonely. He could clearly sense the atmosphere in the clan recently. He felt that in a short while, this suppressed emotion would reach a critical point. At that time, , I'm afraid some terrible consequences will occur.
Hearing this, Shisui's face became serious.
This situation is indeed not a good thing, but the top management of Konoha is now trying its best to ease the friction with the Uchiha clan. For example, Zhiyuki joining the ANBU is what the Sandaime-sama said is a link between the clan and Konoha. .
I believe that with the power of Hokage-sama, this situation will definitely change in the future.
"Don't worry, one against seven, Lord Hokage has not given up on the Uchiha clan, and the clan leader has not announced the news of splitting Konoha. Everything is still turning around. The bond cannot be broken so easily. I believe the Sandaime-sama." Shisui patted Yishi Qi on the shoulder and said to relax.
"Is this so..." Itachi's frown relaxed somewhat, but he was still worried about the development of the matter in his heart.
Will things really settle down smoothly?
……
In the early morning of the next day, the early morning sunlight revealed a faint light through the curtains, and the ding of the alarm clock rang throughout the room. Even though I was addicted to dreams, I covered my ears with pillows and tried to deceive myself. Xue also had to accept the cruel fact that it was time to get up again (sad), and it seemed that there was a special mission today, so she had to go early.
After turning off the alarm clock, Zhixue opened his eyes and drifted to the toilet as if he hadn't opened his eyes. After washing up, he came to the dining table and found a pot of thick black unknown liquid.
In addition to the aroma of food, the entire kitchen is also mixed with the unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine.
Zhixue:……
"I saw you were asleep yesterday, so I didn't have the heart to call you. But if you forget to refill the medicine today, you will get better faster if you take medicine." He looked at the note hanging around the medicine soup and stopped. Snow was in a very unhappy mood.
Ding, trigger system task—
Mission name: The big snake hiding in the laboratory.
Mission introduction: Today your mission is to go with Kakashi to explore Orochimaru's hidden abandoned laboratory near Konoha. Along with you are two unknown root ninjas. It seems that this mission is very dangerous. .
Mission requirements: Ensure your own life safety and protect your companions.
Mission reward: Longdi Cave counter-channeling scroll (will appear immediately at the Longdi Cave location after use), Longdi Cave Immortal Mode Cultivation Scroll.
"Good guy, it's actually magic?" Zhixue was excited when she saw the reward of the mission, but this mission seemed to be very dangerous, so she still had to be well prepared.
"System, do you still buy a movie-level experience card here?"
Zhixue asked the system in her mind. She was still too weak now. If there was a real danger, it was best to stay safe.
Ding, the system mall must have high-quality products, and the movie-level experience card (5 minutes) is currently on sale for 998w taels.
Zhixue looked at the price of 998 and pondered. The price was indeed a bit high. If she really wanted to buy it, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much of Orochimaru's assets left last time. As for the loan, Zhixue had never thought about it. Unless she had to deal with this problem, she would not have such an idea.
Chapter 37, Exploring the Legacy Laboratory
At 6 o'clock in the morning, dew dripped on the stone tablet with a fresh breath.
In the Martyrs Cemetery behind Konoha, Hatake Kakashi placed a bouquet of flowers on the mausoleum. Then many not-so-good memories flashed through his eyes.
"Whose tomb is that?" In the grass not far from Kakashi, the root ninja A, also known as Sky Burial, wearing a raincoat asked B beside him.
"I heard that the owner of that tomb is a companion of Hatake Kakashi, a person who was once killed by Kakashi himself."
"Companion?" The expression under the sky burial mask was a little surprised.
After Kakashi stayed here for a long time, a purple-haired ANBU member ran up behind Kakashi.
"Kakashi-senpai, Hokage-sama is looking for you."
"Ah, I understand, but there's no need to call me senpai. This is not a ninja school." Kakashi sighed and turned his head.
"But aren't you also a long-famous senior among the ANBU?" Xi Yan said to Kakashi in a respectful tone.
"Ah, as for senior, you should find a reliable guy. I am a cold-blooded guy who is despised by others. Am I really suitable to be a senior..." Kakashi scratched his head and sighed.
After Kakashi and Yugao walked further and further away, Tianzhong and Oto walked over from the grass not far away.
Sky Burial followed Kakashi's footprints to the place where he had just stayed for a long time, and finally saw the name of the person in the tomb.
"Nohara Lin..."
.........
Hokage Building…
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was already an old man in his 60s at this time, he still sat in his seat in the Hokage Building early and reviewed documents.
Squeak...
The door to the Hokage's office was pushed open. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kakashi walking over and nodded.
"Kakashi, it's almost time. The base exploration mission left over from Orochimaru's defection a few days ago will be handed over to you and Uchiha Shiyuki. It's really hard on you to have both reconnaissance and surveillance missions at the same time. "
"Ah, thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. I will definitely complete this mission perfectly."
"Well, remember not to be careless. Although Orochimaru has left, no one knows what he left in the Land of Fire. After all, what he studied is extremely dangerous, and even a Jonin may It will be carried inside." Hiruzen Sarutobi clasped his hands together and said with a very serious expression.
"Ah? If it's so dangerous... Zhixue..."
"Don't worry, didn't you say that she has some tricks to hide it? When people are in the most dangerous time, they will resist with all their strength. By that time, she can't hide anything, and every ANBU mission Aren't they all accompanied by the emergence of dangerous situations? But this is all for the safety of Konoha Village and even the entire Fire Country." Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened the Hokage hat on his head and said.
"Yes, Lord Sandaime..."
……
After returning to ANBU, Kakashi had already met Zhiyue who had just arrived.
"Yeah, Kakashi, you didn't come earlier than me today."
