I, Giyuu Uchiha, am not hated!

The next morning.

A small river not far from the meeting place.

"Will you come back to see me?"

Before parting, Hydrangea grabbed Yiyong's sleeve. She was very grateful to Giyu for saving her life, as well as the incident on the carriage and the death of Sanshouyu Koga.

Xiaonan also stared at Yiyong's eyes, trying to see if the child's thoughts had changed after last night's conversation.

The reason why she wanted to make Yiyong aware of the difference in their stances in advance was because she wanted to draw a clear line between the future ninja of the great nation and Hydrangea, the seedling of the Rain Country. Otherwise, the better the relationship becomes, the more painful it will be when they meet and confront each other again in the future.

She had imagined in her mind what it would be like when she, Nagato, and Jiraiya met again after the organization was established in the future—things and people were different, and they were enemies instead of friends. But just imagining it made Xiaonan feel confused and heartbroken. The new goal she had just established soon became difficult to maintain.

She didn't want this to happen to the two children in front of her.

"Won't."

Yiyong's words made Ziyanghua's face startled, and her eyes dimmed quickly. Xiaonan also nodded in understanding, thinking that what she said yesterday had an effect.

Until Yiyong said the next sentence.

"My family is under strict control, so I probably won't have the chance to be so far away from home again."

Like such a good baby, he almost made Hydrangea and Xiaonan laugh at the same time by saying words that were completely unworthy of the strength he showed.

"Okay, it's getting late, what else do you want to say?"

Konan's paper clone has a time limit, and the chakra will be exhausted soon.

"Um……"

Hydrangea pondered for a while and wished, "Yiyong, I hope you can find your missing friend."

"I will." Yiyong nodded and said at the same time: "I also hope you can find a new family."

Hydrangea's eye circles were a little red.

Xiao Nan spread her wings, raised her right hand slightly, and hundreds of pieces of paper flew up, dragging the hydrangeas, "In this case, let's say goodbye..."

"Wait."

Yiyong called out to Xiaonan.

"What else?"

"I need one of your hairs."

Tanjiro mentioned to Giyuu that Kasumashira and Tokito Muichiro's favorite thing to do is origami.

He must really like the ability to not only deform paper at will, but also dye it and turn it into a detonating talisman.

In the past, the two saps had little contact with each other, but origami was undoubtedly a very good breakthrough to enhance their relationship.

"What do you want your hair for?"

Xiao Nan's expression turned strange.

She had heard stories about a witch from the land of ghosts who could cast a love spell on others through a piece of hair. It was Jiraiya who told her this story.

Giyong puts it bluntly, "Let another person like me."

Xiaonan's face was as calm as ever, and she was shocked in her heart, and then it turned into a joke like an adult looking at a childish child.

She waved her hand, and a piece of hair fell down, but it turned into a thin paper thread on the way to the ground.

"This is just my clone. Even if you take it away, it will be of no use."

There was a trace of confusion on Yiyong's face, because Xiaonan was not an enemy and was not injured, so he had not used the Transparent World to explore. I didn't expect that she was not a real person.

"But we can make a deal."

Konan grew wings and slowly floated into the air, "If you are not a ninja from a great country next time we meet, I will give you a hair."

[I’m afraid that even if he has this opportunity, he won’t ask me for it again. 】

Yiyong thought for a while with his eyes half open.

The conditions for resurrecting Kasumashira and Muichiro Tokitoru are that both water and wind breathing techniques must be achieved at the normal level at the same time.

At present, only Itachi can stably brush the wind breath resolution. Although Uzumaki Naruto can brush it, the chance is low. It will take at least several years to brush it to 100%. There seems to be nothing wrong with waiting a little longer to obtain the gene carrier.

Thinking of this, he raised his head again and nodded solemnly to Xiaonan: "Then we have an agreement."

Seeing his extremely formal look, Xiaonan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, but her face remained calm. Without even saying goodbye, she took Hydrangea and flew away into the distance. Only the latter kept waving to Yiyong, and Yiyong responded with a look. .

It's a pity that Xiaonan couldn't put a smile on her face, let alone tell others about this matter as if it was a funny story.

Whether it was Nagato's dream, the suspicious Madara or this country, each one of them made her breathless.

But there was such a fun thing in her heart, and there was nothing wrong with it occasionally making her laugh when she was alone.

After Konan flapped her wings and the hydrangea disappeared completely into the shrouded sky, Giyuu turned around and walked towards the place where he had an appointment with Shisui.

When they separated, Shisui sent a crow to follow him.

But then Yiyong planned to venture to Fortress No. 14, so he used his shadow clone to lure the crow away.

Now if Shisui returned to the agreed place first and didn't see him, and couldn't find him through crows, he would be very anxious.

With this in mind, Yiyong rode the waves and finally arrived at a place where crows were everywhere on the treetops fifteen minutes later.

He walked to a boulder, opened his Sharingan and turned around, unlocking the genjutsu attached to the stone: the art of here and now (which can change the appearance of an object in the eyes of others). Instead, there was a A small wooden house.

"You're finally back, Yiyong."

Before Giyuu could knock on the door, Shisui had already opened the door. Uchiha Itachi followed behind, but his face was a little haggard, as if he had suffered some mental shock.

But seeing the bandages wrapped around Yiyong's body, he cheered up and his eyes became dangerous: "Are you injured?"

"It does not matter."

Yiyong interrupted the topic, leaving the two of them quite speechless. This is not important, what else could be important!

Especially Shisui, who is responsible for taking care of him, can think of the situation when he apologized to Fugaku and his wife Dogezaza after returning to Konoha.

He originally wanted to find a reason to prevent Yiyong from entering Yuyin Village, but he didn't expect that this guy got rid of the crow and came back injured.

"I found the angel."

After entering the house, Yiyong directly stated his "investigation results", "The matter should have nothing to do with her. She was just a female ninja who took care of children in the Land of Rain.

As he said that, he cast an inquiring look at Shisui, while Itachi stared at his bandage and inspected it carefully, "Where are you over there."

"I found the body of Uchiha Enhuo in Amegakure Village."

As Shisui spoke, he used three magatama to cast a genjutsu on Giyu, and a line of subtitles appeared in Giyu and Itachi's vision.

[Don’t resist. 】

The two were slightly startled, and their mental bodies were pulled into the illusion space, but the physical bodies outside were still chatting intermittently, completely controlled by Shisui's illusions.

"what happened?"

In the illusion space that was exactly the same as reality, Yiyong frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

"Ever since I stepped into Yuyin Village, I have been under surveillance by the enemy. Some of the things I know were made known to me by the other party, and some are things that the other party does not know that I know. I can only tell them here."

With his hands in a row, the three of them arrived at a laboratory with gray walls, where four naked corpses lay neatly on a cold tray. This scene was formed based on Uchiha Shisui's memory, restored one to one percentage.

Giyuu's breathing stopped for a moment, because one of them was Uchiha Flame.

The other three people were mostly in their teens.

"My process of finding Uchiha Enhuo's body was too smooth, as if someone had drawn directional arrows for me along the way."

Shisui walked to the safe in the laboratory and said, "This is the laboratory of Sansho Hanzo's youngest son, Sansho Koga's family. In addition to Yan Huo, there are three other teenagers with different blood inheritance limits. . According to the documents here, it is said that the Sansho Fish Koga planned to test the compatibility of the Sansho Fish venom sacs with the blood successor ninjas, so they implanted the Sansho Fish venom sacs in their abdominal openings. "

"According to records, Fumi Uchiha was the first to die from the poison. His body has been destroyed."

He paid attention to Jiyong's expression, but the latter's face was as dark as water and he was not affected. Instead, he retorted: "But the ninja dog named Kuromaru has already made a judgment, saying that judging from the amount of blood loss, Congwen should have died on the spot. die……"

"Yes, this is the first point that made me suspicious of the document."

Zhisui nodded and replied, "It seems that Wen's body was severely damaged and may even leak more information, so he is not displayed here."

"Since it's an experiment."

Giyuu walked to Uchiha Yanhuo's right hand and pointed at the injury that penetrated the back of his head, "How do you explain this?"

"The report said that Uchiha Enhuo woke up before the poison sac was implanted. When he was still weak, he tried to resist and used genjutsu on the researchers. One of them overreacted and stabbed his skull directly. , causing his death."

Shisui paused and pointed to the remaining three blood successor ninjas, "Yanhuo's body surface only has incisions, but the remaining three people still have inactivated Sanshou fish venom sacs remaining in their bodies. This is the transplant experiment they conducted before their death." Evidence. It seems that whoever arranged all this wants me to believe that this thing was done by Sanshouyu Koga, and Yanhuo's body should have been moved here after his death..."

He glanced at Itachi and said, "In order to further verify this matter, I wanted to go to Fortress No. 14 to see what happened. But unfortunately, although I found Itachi, I did not find Sansho Koga himself, and this matter ended there. If we interrupt, we can only find another opportunity later.”

"Sansho Koga is dead."

Yiyong's expression was a little complicated. He didn't expect that he had killed the killer, but the investigation into this matter had reached a dead end.

"I killed him."

"What?!" Shisui and Itachi exclaimed at the same time.

Zhisui looked at the bandages on Giyuu's body and asked solemnly: "What happened after we separated?"

So Yiyong told the story, explaining that during his journey to find the angel, he became suspicious when he met Yu Ren, and deliberately "sneaked into the tiger's mouth" and sneaked into Fortress No. 14. When it came to the ceiling collapse, Itachi's face suddenly turned pale, and Shisui immediately stopped.

"What's wrong……"

Giyuu didn't understand, this was in the illusion space, how could Itachi become like this.

Shisui's eyes flickered back and forth between the two of them, but he still didn't speak. Finally, Itachi adjusted his breathing and said to Giyuu: "I'm sorry, Giyuu... you said that the intruder who caused the explosion and caused the ceiling to collapse should be us. ”

"..."

The illusion space suddenly fell into a deathly stagnation.

"What are you doing up there?"

After a long while, Giyong asked in a cold voice, "The people in the laboratory told me that the office above is Sansho Koga's office, and all the materials for the venom sac transplantation experiment are there."

"Giyu, this is a confidential mission involving Itachi——"

"Let-him-speak."

A distinct cold shout, and Giyuu's rare loud voice interrupted Shisui.

A layer of cold, damp vapor surged around his body, pushing away the car carrying the body, and the atmosphere in the room was chilling.

Not to mention Shisui, even Itachi had never seen his brother angry. But he could understand it. After all, Yiyong almost died there, so anyone would have the right to be angry.

However, Itachi completely misunderstood the reason for Giyuu's anger.

"Yiyong, I want to answer you too, but a mission is a mission..."

"You went to destroy the experimental materials, so you caused the explosion?"

Yiyong's expression looked the same as before, but after the past few days, his emotions had already accumulated to a critical point. He remembered Konan's method of testing whether he was lying, and looked through Itachi's chest, staring at his heart, feeling the changes in heart rate.

"Or is your mission to take away all the experimental data so that the village can continue their research?"

Itachi's heartbeat paused briefly, revealing the answer and letting Giyuu understand - there was someone exactly like Sansho Koga in the Leaf Village.

"Who gave you your mission?"

"Giyu!" Shisui quickly pulled at Yiyu's clothes.

"He doesn't have to answer, he just has to listen to me."

Giyuu didn't expect Itachi to give an answer. He was just observing Itachi's heartbeat reaction after each word was given.

"Hokage? Jonin? Anbu? Clan? Advisor elder——"

Once again, Itachi's heartbeat changed.

Giyuu told the name of the only Konoha consultant elder he knew, the guy who Uchiha Enhuo said had repeatedly prevented him from becoming a Jonin.

"Mitomonitis?"

After a brief pause, he said softly: "It seems to be another elder."

At this point, both Itachi and Shisui understood that although they didn't know how Giyuu did it, as long as he wanted to track it down, he would definitely end up with that name.

"Itachi, now I can only tell him."

Zhishui sighed and advised: "Besides, the attack on Yanhuo and Wen was probably coordinated by an insider. That person was already very suspicious. Coupled with the previous incident of the two root ninjas, his It’s even more suspicious.”

"What root ninja?"

This is the first time Yiyong heard this word.

"Konoha ANBU's detachment Gen."

Looking at Uchiha Itachi's ashen face, Shisui explained directly to Giyuu.

"This time Itachi is carrying out Gen's mission. It seems that on the surface, it is to steal the materials for the Sansho Fish Transplantation Experiment. But after I used my illusion to detect it, the real mission they received is regardless of the apparent mission. Whether you succeed or not, you have to sacrifice yourself in front of Itachi. The best thing is to let Itachi kill them himself."

Yiyong frowned, not understanding the brain circuits of these people.

"When a comrade dies, those who survive feel responsible for their comrade's death and feel the need to inherit their will and do it themselves, which leads to more emotional investment and guilt."

Shisui explained the logic of the Root Ninja's actions.

"This is the second time Itachi has experienced this kind of thing. It is very likely that he will be deeply affected and will be more inclined to the roots in the future. This is their old method. Changing Itachi's own intention is what they issued the mission this time. The true purpose can also guide Weasel’s code of conduct in the root direction.”

After he finished speaking, he specially added: "So Giyu, those two explosions, including the ceiling falling, were all caused by root ninjas. You must not blame Itachi for this... "

"I never blamed him for that."

Giyuu's focus is not on this at all, but he has a new understanding of the dark side of ninjas.

"What do you mean by Gen's code of conduct?"

"In short, as long as a person poses a threat to Konoha, the root can ignore the evidence, ignore the rules and regulations of Hokage and Konoha, and directly eliminate the other party. This principle also applies to other countries, all possible threats can be eliminated To eliminate hidden dangers in Konoha while they are still in their infancy, this is Root’s style.”

He continued, "The root ninjas do not need to have a will of their own, they only need to obey the judgment of their leader, Shimura Danzo."

Yiyong looked stunned. He had just heard this name from Xiaonan yesterday.

The innocent and childish peace organization that Xiaonan mentioned that did not resort to force was destroyed by this man and Sanshouyu Hanzo.

"What does this person have to do with Yan Huo's death?"

"It's just speculation at the moment. We only know that Yan Huo's route was probably betrayed by someone, and he has the ability to provide this information; he has a criminal record for doing human experiments; this matter will lead to conflicts between Konoha and Uchiha. He also has this motive for breaking up; the reason why he wants to exert influence on Itachi should also be for the purpose of guarding against Uchiha in the future. "

Zhisui concluded, "So, instead of staying here and continuing to be monitored and deliberately misled, we should go back first and start with this person to find out the truth."

Of course, his most important purpose is to try to give ready-made answers to the clan and resolve the conflicts between Konoha and Uchiha first. Investigations can be carried out slowly and secretly.

This is the first time that Giyuu has encountered such a complicated situation, but now that Yan Huo's body has been found and the Sansho Fish Koga that can be used as a clue has been killed, there is no point in further investigation.

"Let's go back."

He agreed to Shisui's proposal, then looked at Itachi and said seriously: "But you have to give me the report on the Sansho Fish Transplantation Experiment. I can't let you take that thing back."

"I see."
