Chapter 247： Shadow Shield Upgrade (Part 1)

Ten days later.

The land of rain.

In a deserted, rundown town.

As night fell, in the quiet house, Xiaonan, who had recovered somewhat from the injury on his leg, silently looked at the cross country who had carried him on his back for ten days and was covered with countless scars. He was speechless.

It’s been ten days!

It has been ten days since I carried Xiaonan off-road and escaped from Kakuto's pursuit!

During these ten days, except for a small amount of time spent on recovering physical strength and chakra, almost all of the cross-country travel involved using the secret technique of "acceleration" to escape Kakuto's pursuit with Konan on his back.

Even when going off-road, I didn’t expect that Kakuzu would be such a persistent guy!

Chasing Xiaonan across the country for at least a hundred miles in the Land of Rain, Kakuzu still did not give up on the mission of capturing Xiaonan!

Even Off-road, who is familiar with the plot of the original work, has some doubts. Is it really Kakuzu who is chasing him behind?

Is he really the very impatient Kakuzu who values ​​time very seriously and scolded Hidan for wasting time many times in the original plot?

However, even though Cross Country was a little suspicious, it was not Kakuzu who was chasing him, but a very stubborn guy. Even if Cross Country was unwilling to admit Kakuzu's identity, he fought against Kakuzu many times within ten days. , in order to ensure Xiaonan's safety. Judging from the many secret techniques used by Kakuzu, Cross Country must admit that the guy chasing them behind is Kakuzu!

In the original plot, Jiaodu is a veteran strongman who masters the secret technique of earth resentment and Yu!

At this moment, the injuries all over Cross Country’s body are undoubtedly the best proof of the opponent’s identity!

Even though Kakuzu is chasing after Cross Country, when Xiaonan used the "acceleration" secret technique to escape in Cross Country, Kakuzu had no way to do it.

But off-roading is about people!

Since we are human beings, we need a time to rest and recover!

Besides, off-road and Xiaonan did not carry many secret medicines for restoring chakra. Therefore, when facing the pursuit of Kakuzu every day and maintaining the secret technique of "acceleration" almost all the time, there must be a time for chakra recovery, otherwise the chakra amount of the cross-country will not be able to do anything. Support the use of "acceleration" secret techniques.

On the contrary, it’s that scary guy from Kakuzu who doesn’t seem to need to eat, sleep, go to the toilet, or restore chakra!

Every time when Cross Country used the secret technique of "acceleration", Xiaonan and Xiao Nan would have escaped far away.

However, every time I take Xiaonan off-road, as long as I am resting or recuperating, when I use the wind sense, I will quickly find Kakuzu's figure appearing in the wind sense.

Also every time, when Kakuzu's figure appears in the cross-country's sense of wind, the cross-country is to have a fierce battle with Kakuzu, and then use the "acceleration" secret technique to escape with Konan on his back.

Over time, off-roading has become a kind of training.

On the contrary, it was Xiaonan who was silent for a while as he looked at Cross Country who was silently healing his wounds and protecting himself carefully.

Then, some memories appeared in my mind. Recalling every time Kakuzu caught up with her and risked his life to ensure her safety in cross-country, Xiaonan's originally very strong heart actually melted little by little and became Soft and sensitive!

"In the past ten days, Feng and Hanzo's minions have fought fiercely more than twenty times, right?"

“Besides, if it weren’t for protecting me, Feng’s injuries might not be so serious.”

“After all, in the twenty or so battles between Feng and Hanzo’s minions, my legs were injured and were like a burden, unable to fight.”

“On the contrary, it’s the wind. Every time I find that Hanzo’s minions are going to hurt me, I...”

“Just use your own body to hurt me instead?”

 She thought to herself, even Xiao Nan herself didn't notice it, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised into a faint smile.

Moreover, when Xiaonan looked at the cross-country again, her eyes were no longer so cold.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Yukio was just like the look in Konan's eyes when he looked at Nagato and Yahiko when he was a child, filled with an inexplicable brilliance.

And that inexplicable brilliance is trust!

yes!

Other than Yahiko and Nagato, who can protect Konan for the real ten days?

Who can fight against an extremely terrifying guy for Xiao Nan within ten days without abandoning or giving up?

Admittedly, when Xiaonan first came into contact with off-road vehicles, she always felt that off-road vehicles were deliberately approached with some unknown purpose.

But after ten days of shared adversity, even if you are rescued by a strange ninja who doesn't know whether he is a friend or an enemy, and you try your best to protect him, you may have to slowly trust that stranger. The ninja.

What’s more, Xiaonan is a girl.

Girls are inherently more emotional than boys?

So, ten days later today, also after the hundred-mile chase in Jiaodu, Xiaonan was already ready to have a good talk with the cross-country in front of him.

Then, just as Off-Road had taken care of his injuries and was observing the surrounding situation with vigilance, Xiaonan suddenly stood up, which immediately attracted Off-Road's attention!

“Uncle Xiaonan, be careful! The injury on your leg is not completely healed yet. It still needs to be recuperated for at least half a month!”

“Feng, I want to have a good talk with you.”

“Let’s talk?”

Hidden under the ANBU mask, Cross Country raised a faint smile, thinking that he had finally waited for this day.

However, on the surface, he still performed well in cross-country. There was a look of struggle in his eyes, and he asked: "Uncle Xiaonan, what do you want to talk about?"

“Feng, you should know what I want to talk about.”

Slowly heading off-road, Xiaonan said softly:

“You are from the Leaf Village. It may be your mission to find me, so tell me about your mission.”

“It’s been ten days. You’ve tried your best to protect me. What do you need?”

"Feng, you are a smart person. Since you are a smart person, you should know when to tell the truth."

“Now is the chance I give you, I hope”

“You can cherish it!”

“Okay, Uncle Xiaonan, I understand.”

The faint smile that raised at the corner of his mouth suddenly became a bit fuller.

In front of Xiaonan, Cross Country took a deep breath first, then nodded, and then said openly and honestly: "Uncle Xiaonan, since I have always called you uncle, you must have guessed my identity. ?”

“That’s right!”

“I am the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, and my master, the Fourth Hokage, is your junior brother, Uncle Xiaonan.”

“As for how I learned about your identity, Master Xiaonan, I don’t need to think too much. It must be because of my master, Jiraiya.”

“Speaking of which, I’m not afraid of your ridicule, Uncle Xiaonan. The real reason why I went to the Kingdom of Rain is not for anything else. In fact, it’s because of the internal fighting in the village!”

"Infighting?"

After saying that, Xiao Nan glanced at Xue Chuang suspiciously.

Off-road, on the other hand, nodded seriously again and said firmly: "Yes, it's just internal fighting."

“My master, the Fourth Hokage, has an enemy in the village named Shimura Danzo. I believe Master Xiaonan has heard of it, right?”

"Because my master succeeded to the throne of Hokage not long ago, he has very little power in the village and cannot defeat Shimura Danzo, so he sent me to work under Shimura Danzo as an undercover agent. Step by step, I gained Shimura's power. Danzo trusted me, and after that Danzo Shimura assigned me dangerous missions one after another, and my original purpose of going to the Land of Rain was actually a very important mission assigned to me by Danzo Shimura. "

"It's just that this mission is very important to the master, so my master, the Fourth Hokage, means..."

“Destroy Shimura Danzo’s mission!”

Speaking, Cross Country paused for a moment, then looked at Xiaonan, and sure enough, he found that Xiaonan's eyes were a little different.

Obviously, as one of the founders of the "Akatsuki" organization, Xiaonan is definitely not an idiot.

Hence, from the words of Jiujiujiujiujiuyiyizhen, Xiaonan gradually began to suspect that Demigod Hanzo wanted to organize peace talks with "Akatsuki".

 And off-roading happened to be when Xiaonan was suspicious, he added fuel to the fire and said directly to Xiaonan in front of him:

“Uncle Xiaonan, you must want to know what is the mission assigned by my master, the Fourth Hokage, and Shimura Danzo, right?”

“Before we talk about the mission assigned by my master, the Fourth Hokage, let’s talk about the mission assigned by Danzo Shimura!”

"In Konoha Village, the task assigned to me by Danzo Shimura is..."

“Cooperate with Demigod Hanzo to eliminate the rebel organization called “Akatsuki” in the Kingdom of Rain!”

“Look for an opportunity to assassinate the three leaders of the “Akatsuki” organization!”

“The names are, Yahiko and Nagato Konan!”
