Night in the forest.
The sharp blade entered his body, blood splattered, and the ninja wearing the Konoha forehead protector covered his bleeding throat with one hand, whimpered twice, and fell to the ground without a sound.
Guanyue jumped down from the branch of a big tree nearby, holding a blade that was still dripping with blood.
Jiao watched the entire process of the fight from the side. It took less than a minute from the start to the end of the fight, and he executed the opponent cleanly and neatly.
This kid kills people more like an ANBU than an ANBU...
Jiao thought to himself.
"It's okay to leave no one alive, right?" Guanyue took out a piece of white cloth and wiped the blood off the dagger, then put it into the sheath behind his back. However, his tone was not one of questioning at all.
"This is the order from Danzo-sama, and the way Gen always acts." Kaku said calmly, "Since this man has become a traitor, there's no point in him living."
After he finished speaking, he squatted down, fumbled around on the corpse, and found a scroll the size of his palm. It seemed to be sealed, but he didn't untie it easily.
"Someone is coming." Guanyue said suddenly.
Swish swish swish~
Several dark shadows flew across the night sky, surrounding Guanyue and Jiao.
"Roots?" The leader, a white-haired young man wearing a fox mask, recognized Guanyue and Jiao at a glance, and his tone was slightly surprised.
"Did you kill the person?"
Jiao put the scroll away and put his hands in his pockets. His sunglasses obscured his gaze, and his black hooded robe fluttered in the evening breeze.
Without any response or conversation, Guanyue glanced at the Anbu in front of him with the iconic white hair, and knew the identity behind the mask at a glance.
Kakashi couldn't help but frown as he watched the other party put the scroll away without any concealment, but he was unlikely to snatch it away by force.
The Anbu members were also waiting for Kakashi's orders.
Jiao didn't see any movement from Kakashi, and immediately disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Guanyue finally looked at Kakashi, but unfortunately both of them were wearing masks and their eyes could not meet.
He turned around and disappeared in front of many Anbu.
They all knew each other's identities, and no one in the Anbu tried to stop them.
"Captain?" The Anbu all looked at the white-haired young man, waiting for his instructions.
Kakashi pondered for a moment and ordered, "Check the body and see if you can find any letter scrolls or anything like that."
The mission he received was to hunt down the suspected traitor ninja and bring him back for interrogation and torture, but he didn't expect that he had already been dealt with by the Root's people when he arrived here.
The style is still as fierce as ever...
The image of Danzo flashed through his mind. Seeing that his teammates had found nothing, he said, "Take the body back."
Root.
Jiao came alone to deliver the task, but Guanyue had already asked him to go back.
Danzo held the scroll in his hand, but had no intention of looking at it. He already knew the entire process of the mission, including the encounter with the Anbu.
"What do you think of the child?"
"Very good." Jiao said concisely.
Danzo raised his eyes slightly: "How about comparing to Shisui?"
"I've never taught Shisui, but Guan Yuelong's ability is truly outstanding among his peers." Jiao said.
"In the ninja academy, he was second only to Shisui, and he also made a name for himself during the war." Danzo said slowly, "For some reason, such a person suddenly disappeared after the war."
"Didn't they say that kind of thing happened?" asked Jiao.
"It's not confirmed. It was just Tsunade's words that started the rumor," Danzo said, as if he knew everything about the past. "But such rumors are enough to destroy a person. Look at this child, does he seem to have made it through?"
"I've seen many talented ninjas," Jiao said. "Their differences aren't just in their aptitude; they're all more or less lost in their hearts."
"But..." Jiao said, changing the subject.
"This child, however, is not that kind of person. He has no concerns at all. He is like a pure tool."
"A pure tool?" A sneer appeared on Danzo's face.
"Will Shisui leave such a person to me? If I use him improperly, I'm afraid I'll hurt myself."
"Then just abandon it?" asked Jiao.
Danzo shook his head, "That's a shame. This child is definitely not a good person. He has darkness in his heart, and I can use it to my advantage."
"A double-edged sword, if used properly, can have unexpected effects."
Guanyue has been carrying out missions for more than a week.
But these missions were mostly the same, all very common Anbu missions, and some of them were even missions he had encountered before coming to the Root.
Temptation, endless temptation.
Danzo's suspicions were even greater than Kanzuki had imagined.
However, Guanyue is not anxious about this. Even if Danzo remains wary of him, he still has one last trump card.
I took a shower at home and washed away the fatigue of the day.
After changing into his home clothes, he took off his forehead protector like a heavy weight and threw it casually on the table.
There was only bread, milk, and some fruit that had a strange smell in the refrigerator.
Since joining the roots, I haven't cooked for myself anymore, and I haven't bought meat or vegetables anymore.
After throwing the rotten fruit into the trash can, Guanyue sat on the chair and stared at the instant noodle bucket in front of him in a daze.
No matter in the past or present life, my life always seems to be a mess...
The excitement and fear he felt when he first came to the Naruto world had long since disappeared without a trace. In any world, one lives alone, so what does it matter what life is like?
"Dong Dong Dong~"
There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Guanyue's thoughts.
Who is it, Shisui?
Basically no one else would knock on his door.
Guanyue stood up and walked to the door.
"Good evening, Along."
Tiantian put his hands behind his back and greeted Guanyue with a smile.
"Please take care of my meals. My mother is not at home."
"...Where's your mother?"
"She's out of the village to buy supplies and won't be back until tomorrow."
"Can't you cook for yourself?"
"Yes, but I don't want to do it." Tiantian shrugged.
"You are eating, right? I can smell the delicious food." She said without any hesitation, and pushed Guanyue aside and walked into the room. Then she saw the steaming instant noodles on the table.
"If you want to eat it, I'll make you a bucket of it too."
Guanyue walked to the instant noodle box, took out another bucket and put it on the table. Then he saw Tiantian looking at him angrily.
"Don't glare at me like that. There's nothing in the refrigerator. I can't cook." Guanyue said helplessly.
"I can go to your house and make some for you." He finally compromised.
Tiantian suddenly smiled: "Brother Along, let's go out to eat."
"But my noodles are already soaked..."
"What's so delicious about instant noodles? They're not healthy." Tiantian spoke like a little adult, pulling Guanyue out of the room.
It was not yet late at night and the streets of Konoha were still very bustling.
Tiantian held a lot of snacks in each hand and walked in front, jumping and dancing. The two buns on her head swayed back and forth, which was very cute.
"Are you here for me to take you out for dinner or to buy you snacks?" Guanyue asked slowly as he followed her.
"It's all the same." Tiantian turned his head and said with a smile.
"NA, do you want to eat?"
She reached out and handed a portion of squid skewers to Guanyue. She walked with her back to the person and didn't notice that there was someone behind her. With a "bang", she bumped into someone.
"Sorry, sorry!" Tiantian hurriedly turned around and apologized to the other party, knowing that it was his fault.
"It's okay..." This man was also dressed as a ninja. He didn't care when he saw Tiantian, a little girl, but he was stunned when he saw Guanyue behind Tiantian.
His eyes seemed to recognize Guanyue, but Guanyue did not remember him.
The other person spat in disgust and turned away.
Tiantian stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the other person as he left.
"I..."
"It's none of your business." Guanyue glanced at the man's back and said calmly.
"But I hit him..."
"He acted like that after he saw me."
Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then looked angry: "Why?"
"…"
Guanyue's eyes moved but he didn't say anything.
"Damn it, I want him to apologize to you!" Tiantian said and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Guanyue.
"Never mind, it's no big deal."
"But he treated you like that!" Tiantian was very angry.
"Even if I hit someone, you can't do this!"
Guan Yue reached out and took her arm and walked to the other side: "Let's go, I haven't taken you to dinner yet."
"Eh?"
Tiantian was no match for Guanyue in strength, so he was dragged away by him.
"Brother Along, you're holding me so tightly that it hurts. Let go now."
"You're not making a fuss?"
"Okay, okay, I get it. Seriously, I was just trying to help you vent your anger..."
"...I don't need you to help me yet."
"Brother Along, what are we going to eat?"
"Want some noodles?"
"Why are you still eating noodles when you're already out?"
"This one is different."
