Chapter 83 The Fourth Day of the Protagonist
"Actually, I have been——"
At this point, Matsuda Jinpei's expression changed slightly. Although he wanted to turn his head away, he still looked at Hiiragi Eiji intently.
Because the other party's expression was too serious, Hiiraeiji was also aroused by Matsuda Jinpei's attitude. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his amber eyes looked at Matsuda Jinpei steadily.
At this time, several hurried footsteps came from behind the two of them, but Hiiraeiji and Matsuda Jinpei, who were immersed in such an atmosphere, did not notice it.
"...I have always liked you." Matsuda Jinpei seemed to have mustered up the courage to reveal all the thoughts that had been buried in his heart.
At this moment, he felt that his heart became lighter.
He did it, he didn't hesitate, he didn't let the opportunity slip away again.
But before the smile on his face even rose for a second, he felt a huge force coming from behind him, and someone jumped directly from behind him. He was knocked staggering and was about to pounce. On the opposite side of Hiiraeiji, the light-haired young man also had a look of surprise on his face. He subconsciously stepped forward to help him, but someone took a step ahead of Hiiraeiji and directly grabbed Matsuda Jinpei's shoulders from behind and pulled him directly towards him. Then he pulled over.
Then, Matsuda Jinpei heard multiple voices coming from behind him.
"Eiji-sensei! I like you too!"
Matsuda Jinpei turned his head towards the source of the sound with a shocked expression, and saw a pink-haired boy staring in the direction of Hiiragi Eiji eagerly.
"Of course I do too!" Another tea girl reacted very quickly and added.
Matsuda Jinpei: "...?" He vaguely felt that things were going to develop in some bad direction.
And his intuition was not wrong, because immediately behind him, a significantly deeper adult male voice came, "And I, Eiji!" Matsuda Jinping turned his head and looked behind him. Guy... isn't he the white-haired teacher who took two students on a day trip to the Metropolitan Police Department that day? ! "I like you! I really like you!"
As he said this, the white-haired teacher who also wore black sunglasses at night looked at his two students with an unhappy look on his face, "Yourito, Wild Rose, Why are you trying to get ahead of me? Remember that I am your teacher, right?"
"I don't care about you! Do you still blame me for your slow reaction?" Kugizaki Wild Rose said with an unhappy look on her face, then she narrowed her eyes He looked at the sea urchin head who was the only one present who did not speak, "...Fushiguro, aren't you going to say something?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Fushiguro Megumi, and when the black-haired boy After noticing that Hiiragi Eiji was also looking at him with those warm amber eyes, he couldn't restrain himself anymore. The veins on his forehead were jumping and he said to Kugizaki Wild Rose: "I told you, you clearly didn't understand. What's the situation?"
Kugizaki Wild Rose's expression changed slightly, "Ah... It seems that something is wrong when you say that, but I can't tell? Now that everyone has said it, do you really want to be so unsociable?"
Fushiguro Megumi covered his forehead in pain. Sometimes he really couldn't understand this crazy guy.
But even so, he still raised a hand resignedly and said in a helpless tone: "...Me too."
If at the beginning, after hearing Matsuda Jinpei's 'confession', Hiiragi Eiji There was still a moment of panic and surprise in my heart, but now such emotions are completely gone. He felt that he had an epiphany, and he completely understood the situation at this moment.
So, he smiled at a group of people and said, "Well, I've always liked you too." At this point, Hiiraeiji's expression was a little subtle. It seemed like this was the first time he said something similar, maybe it was because of the influence he had received since childhood. Because education has affected his personality, he is not very adaptable to this way of expression. Therefore, after saying such straightforward words, he hung his head slightly in embarrassment, stared at the shadow at his feet and muttered: "...I thought this should be obvious?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the five people huddled together opposite him, "You don't need me to tell you, right?"
The five people: "..."
It’s a foul!
Among them, the one with the most struggling expression was Matsuda Jinpei. He clearly didn’t mean that!
But when he was about to explain something, the store door to the side of the crowd was suddenly opened from the inside. Morofushi Kagemitsu was standing at the door with a wary look on his face, and behind him, Matsuda Jinpei heard Hagiwara Kenji's helpless voice: "...Xiao Jingmitsu, there is really no problem, they are probably just whispering -"
At this point, Hagiwara Kenji's voice also stopped abruptly, because he heard from Morofushi Kagemitsu Seeing the scene outside behind him, this reliable teammate who had been working hard to provide assists for his home team was instantly choked up.
...Why did there become so many people here in just a short moment? !
Zhufu Jingguang was obviously very confused by the scene at hand, especially when he discovered that the four strangers crowded together with Matsuda Jinpei, all had the same red face as the black curly hair.
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "...?" After hesitating for a second, he still asked: "Did something happen?"
Everyone shook their heads at him crazily, while Hiiragi looked at Zhu Fu with an innocent and confused expression. Fu Jingguang looked over.
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "..."
I always feel that something is wrong!
But...
"...are these your friends, Ying?" In the end, Zhu Fu Jingguang chose to skip this fruitless question, "Do you want to come in together?"
In this way, the trio from the Metropolitan Police Department and The four members of the Curse Specialist sat around a round table together, and Hiiraeiji introduced the identities of both parties one by one.
Perhaps it was because Morofushi Kagemitsu's attitude was quite gentle, and Hagiwara Kenji's personality was also very easy to get along with. When ordering, Kagehito apologized apologetically to the three people at the Metropolitan Police Department: "...I'm sorry, because I'm a little worried. Eiji-sensei, so I followed without permission."
Fushiguro Megumi also said to the three of them: "Excuse me."
Their words made the two people at the Metropolitan Police Department relax. Hagiwara Kenji and Zhu Fu Jingguang also thought about what happened in Shibuya before. Thinking about it this way, it is not incomprehensible.
"Okay, let's order quickly." Hagiwara Kenji smiled and handed the menu in the direction of Hirohito.
Only Matsuda Jinpei still looked like he was gritting his teeth.
...These guys! It was definitely intentional——!
When the menu was handed over to him with a smile by Shiro-haired Gojo Satoru, who was sitting opposite him, he showed a very official fake smile and directly took the menu away from the other person's hand.
At this moment, Hagiwara Kenji, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head over and looked at Matsuda Jinpei with a questioning look. Then he heard his own voice say in anger: "... They disturbed the situation!"
After hearing this, Hagiwara Kenji showed a look of understanding, and then sat up straight again. He squinted his eyes and looked around at the people on the opposite side. It seemed that there were many opponents. Xiao Zhenping.
Especially the white-haired guy who stands out from the crowd and doesn't hide his gaze at this moment. This guy can look at Eiji so calmly in a group of people. How can I put it, with this kind of psychological quality, Xiao Jinpei can't blame him. Will be disrupted by the other party.
After a rough analysis in his mind, Hagiwara Kenji opened his mouth and said to Hiiragi Eiji, who was separated by a person: "Ei, are we the only ones who know about your coming back?" The
people from the Conjuring High School all looked at each other. Brush raised his head.
...Ying?
Isn't it a little too intimate?
Hagiwara Kenji calmly ignored the scrutinizing glances from the opposite side.
...Well, it seems that there is more than one opponent here. But... those are students! Still a high school boy! Thinking of this, Hagiwara Kenji's eyes suddenly became complicated when he looked at Hiiraeiji.
However, when he met Eiji's bright eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he couldn't blame Eiji.
"Well, that's how it is now. I just woke up this afternoon." Hiiragi said hesitantly.
But at this moment, Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of a very crucial point. He hesitated to speak and looked at Hiiragi Si, but in the end he remained silent. However, Hiiragi Si noticed a second before he lowered his gaze. Seeing his obscure expression, "Jingguang, what's wrong?"
Zhufu Jingguang raised his head and saw Hiiragi's concerned expression. In the end, he still asked in a low voice the doubt that had been lingering in his mind. : "...Yingsi, your... was supposed to be sent for cremation at that time... so -"
Zhu Fu Jingguang described his problem very vaguely. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere on the entire round table suddenly fell silent. down.
Whether it was the person with a fake smile on his face or the person who was really smiling, their expressions calmed down because of Zhu Fu Jingguang's question, and they couldn't help but look at Hiiragi Eiji.
Hiiraeiji was slightly startled, and couldn't help but subconsciously looked at Gojo Satoru.
...To be honest, he still doesn't quite understand why Satoru did this.
Now, everyone guessed the relationship.
"...So, is it you? Secretly...switched Eiji?" Matsuda Jinpei looked at Gojo Satoru with his sharp eyes.
Bai Mao, who was the center, did not have any special expression. His brows furrowed slightly in an invisible manner, but soon relaxed.
Because Gojo Satoru inevitably thought of what happened at that time. The man named Osamu Dazai discovered that he had secretly taken Eiji away. He originally thought he would stop him, but the man just looked at him calmly and left with the people from the Special Abilities Division.
……interesting. He still couldn't figure out what that guy was thinking.
"It's not a swap," Gojo Satoru waved his hand nonchalantly, "I took Eiji away in an upright manner."
The scene became chaotic again. Because Hagiwara Kenji was busy holding down Matsuda Jinpei who wanted to jump up on the spot, "Hey! Hagi! Did you hear it?! This guy is -"
Hagiwara Kenji was sweating profusely, but he still had to take care of it Zhufu Jingguang, who was sitting on the other side of him, breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the other party did not want to do anything dangerous. Then he saw Zhufu Jingguang looking faintly in the direction of him and Matsuda Jinpei. , "This time, I support Matsuda."
Hagiwara Kenji: "..."
Can you two be normal?
The people at the Conjuration College were shocked by the white-haired teacher's tricks.
"...No, sensei?!" Hisato Hisahi was at a loss for words, "Just leave Mr. Eiji at home?!" Suddenly, the image of Gojo Satoru dropped several levels in Hisahito's mind.
Isn't this a bit too perverted to say anything? !
Kugizaki Wild Rose was also stunned, "...Although I have known for a long time that you are not a normal person, teacher, but this is still a bit too outrageous, right?!"
Fushiguro Megumi's face was numb, and he could fully expect that he was in the police force. What kind of terrifying image would be in the minds of several police officers in the theater.
…It’s all thanks to this unscrupulous teacher who has no moral ethics.
After this experience, even Hagiwara Kenji couldn't face Gojo Satoru with a normal attitude, especially after hearing that Hiiraeiji was going to stay at his house for the night. He, Matsuda Jinpei and Morofukage Hikari objected sternly: "Absolutely not!"
Gojo Satoru calmly turned his head and looked at Eiji, his blue eyes staring at him closely, "But didn't Eiji promise me?"
Suddenly, both sides were confused. His eyes were like needles piercing Hiiraeiji's body.
Hiiraeiji, who was sitting in the middle, just put on a tired smile.
...Otherwise, he would just find a remote mountain and old forest and just use Wood Release to build himself a nest.
Seeing that Hiiragi Eiji was about to give up on himself, Hagiwara Kenji immediately said: "I'm sorry, but tonight, can you let Eiji stay with us first?" A student said, only ignoring Gojo Satoru, "Because there are some things that I need to discuss with Ying alone. Tomorrow, it depends on Ying's own arrangements." In short, going home with this person named Gojo Satoru at night is definitely a good idea. Can't! As for tomorrow, continue to think of other ways.
Sure enough, after listening to Hagiwara Kenji's words, the three students immediately showed embarrassed apologetic expressions. After all, it was their temporary participation tonight that prevented Mr. Eiji from chatting with these three people. They had no idea what an adult was. plan.
Seeing that these three people were showing signs of loosening up, Hagiwara Kenji was ready to continue his efforts, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gojo Satoru, who suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
Suddenly, the black sea urchin-headed boy sitting next to Gojo Satoru quickly picked up the opponent's chopsticks and stuffed a small octopus ball into his mouth.
Gojo Satoru's words were blocked in his mouth.
...Kill beautiful! Hagiwara Kenji cheered in his heart, and then quickly finalized the evening's affairs.
How should I put it... After being excited, Hagiwara Kenji felt complicated in his heart. It seemed that this white-haired gentleman was not very popular among the students.
It's reasonable.
"Ying, what are your plans next?" After understanding that Hiiragi Eiji would go back with the three of them in the evening, Matsuda Jinpei's expression immediately softened, and he unconsciously fiddled with the food on his plate. Muyuhua asked casually.
After Hiiragi pondered for a moment, he said uncertainly: "Maybe I have to report it to the Metropolitan Police Department." It's one thing that he doesn't want to go back, but it's another thing to report it.
...The commotion he made in Shibuya must have been quite big. This time he comes back, and he probably won't be able to hide it for long. If he doesn't tell him in advance and the superiors find out that Jinpei and the others have contacted him privately, they will always I feel that it will affect their future development in the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, if I am labeled as dangerous there, it is not surprising that people who are too close to me will be affected.
However, Zhu Fu Jingguang quietly observed Hiiragi Eiji's expression. After noticing that he was looking over, Zhu Fu Jingguang said seriously: "Ying Si, I hope your decision comes from your true heart." , he smiled gently, "Just do whatever you want to do, don't worry so much. Although..."
At this point, he glanced at the people opposite him with some hesitation, and finally continued, "Although..." We can't help you, but we will never become a shackles for you."
Hiiragi was slightly startled, and then he laughed. Really, Jingguang is still as careful as ever.
Looking at their interaction, Hisuhito's expression went blank, "...Oh no, I obviously like eating Okonomiyaki, but now I have no appetite at all."
Fushiguro Meikazu Gojo Satoru: "..." Exactly the same.
After the dinner was over in a hurry, Hiiraeiji smiled and waved to several people from the high school. He watched helplessly as Gojo Satoru wanted to say something, but was choked, covered, and pulled by three students. The action violently held him in place.
Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Jingguang looked at each other, and each of them hugged Hiiragi Eiji and forcibly led him forward, "Okay, Eiji, don't worry about things over there, those three students are still very reliable. Yes."
Zhufu Jingguang also smiled and said: "Yes, they will definitely notify you when they arrive at their destination safely." In this way, the two people quickly took Hiiragi Si away from the land of right and wrong behind them.
While Matsuda Jinpei was driving, Hagiwara Kenji couldn't help but approached him, "Jinpei-chan, what's going on tonight?"
Jinpei Matsuda, who originally opened the driver's door and was about to get in, immediately put on a pose. With a stinky face, "...that stinky white hair! I remember him!"
Hagiwara Kenji silently patted his shoulder. Even if he didn't say anything, he probably imagined the scene at that time.
Thinking of this, he said amusedly, "How about it, are you worried? Eiji is so good, there are quite a lot of opponents around you. What's more," Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin, "those high school students Everyone has special abilities, right? Isn't it a lot of pressure, little Jinpei?"
Matsuda Jinpei just snorted, "No way." At this point, he was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Because Ei never gives me that sense of distance. No matter how much power he has, he will always be him."
... He is the fool who would risk exposure and run all the way to save Hagiwara Kenji, the one who clearly left on his own The undercover mission was also dangerous, but the fool who apologized to them first for not bringing Zero back after returning was also the hero who would sacrifice himself to protect everyone in the Shibuya incident.
No matter how long we have known him, he has never changed.
Thinking of this, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but sigh: "...I have really good taste."
Hagiwara Kenji laughed out loud instantly, "What are you doing! Don't you forget to praise yourself first in this situation?"
But Seeing that the other party was not affected at all, Hagihara Kenji was completely relieved.
"...So, the four of us are going to stay at Jinpei's house tonight?" Hagiwara Kenji was hesitant to speak, but he looked at the glass in front of him with dull eyes.
After hearing what he said, Zhufu Jingguang looked at him with a smile, "How about I take Eiji to my place? I happened to have moved, and the apartment is quite large."
Hagiwara Kenji immediately made a surrender "I think Xiao Jinpei's place is good."
Matsuda Jinpei, who walked out with a quilt in his arms, knew nothing. He was busy preparing a sleeping place for the people who were going to stay at his place tonight. They all lived in the same building, which was an apartment building designated by the Metropolitan Police Department, so Hagiwara Kenji and Morofushi Kagemitsu had already returned to their apartments before returning.
"Ei, do you really want to report back to the Metropolitan Police Department?" Hagiwara Kenji stretched his head to look at Hiiragi Eji who was helping spread the quilt inside.
"Yes," Hiiraeiji said loudly, "because I want to make a deal with the higher-ups."
These words made Kenji Hagiwara and Kagemitsu Morofushi, who were sitting on the sofa, unable to sit still. They walked into the bedroom, He asked in confusion: "...What kind of deal?"
Si Hiiragi's hand on the quilt paused slightly. He stood up and said seriously to the three of them: "I want to restore my identity. As a deal, I will It is my duty to help the Metropolitan Police Department find the spy hiding inside, so that I can bring Zero back from the black organization."
Three people: "...Oh."
Three people: "...???? What - —?!"
At night, Matsuda Jinping's bedroom was quiet. But Hiiraeiji knew that the three guys laying the floor must not have fallen asleep, because their breathing sounds were wrong.
As the only one sleeping on the bed, Hiiraeiji was a little helpless.
...but there is no way, probably because of the PTSD after the Shibuya incident, everyone is a little too nervous towards him.
In order to appease a few people, Hiiraeiji had to occupy Matsuda Jinpei's bed.
There's a lot to do tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Hiiraeiji sighed in his heart. He was going to use illusion to catch the undercover agent who was hiding in the Metropolitan Police Department.
…But to be honest, it’s a little unreliable. It would be great if Sasuke could be here, his Sharingan is really a powerful genjutsu weapon.
Thinking like this, Hiiraeiji called up his protagonist panel, and sure enough, the important character's wish page completely disappeared.
Indeed, he did not completely complete his mission during his time as a tool man, so naturally his wish could not be realized.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but call out the system and wanted to ask what he should do without the mission.
In this regard, even if the system used the cold mechanical voice, Hiiraeiji could hear the irritability in the other party's tone.
"Please face your identity as the protagonist. The rules will be written by you."
Hiiragi Eiji: "..."
Sure enough! He still doesn't understand!
...But if he were to search for traces of "books" in this world, he would probably have to spend a long time, right? He really wanted to return to the ninja world as soon as possible to meet Naruto and Sasuke, and also wanted to see the parallel world.
With such thoughts, Hiiraeiji fell into sleep.
And it was only at this moment that Hiiraeiji vaguely understood the meaning of the system's words.
When Hiiragi Eiji woke up again, he was shocked to find that he had really returned to the familiar world - the ninja world full of blood and war.
But maybe there were some small deviations in the middle, or maybe he was still quite unfamiliar with using his power as the protagonist. Hiiraeiji discovered that he was actually reincarnated from the dirty soil!
Chapter 84: The Protagonist's Fifth Day
When Hiiragi Eiji woke up, he found himself in a dense forest, with two people standing next to him.
"...It actually succeeded. It seems that you guys really did a lot of experiments on him. Does he know it?" A deep and hoarse male voice said.
"Isn't this exactly your purpose?"
"You're right, I really need him to limit the power of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki."
Hiiragi Eiji suddenly woke up after hearing the keyword "Kyuubi Jinchuuriki". He was confused. His vision became clear at that moment, and he could clearly see the two people standing opposite him.
It was a man wearing a dark red hooded cloak, and a guy with a swirl mask on his face.
Unfortunately, Hiiraeiji knew both of these two people.
One of them is Orochimaru's most capable subordinate, Yakushi Kabuto, and the other is... the guy who indirectly caused Hiiragi Eiji's death in the ninja world.
When Sasuke found Uchiha Itachi, Eiji Hiiragi had been following him, and then he discovered this guy wearing a whirlpool mask.
The two brothers were fighting fiercely inside, while Hiiraeiji and this guy were fighting fiercely outside.
After his thoughts gradually returned, Hiiraeiji saw the two people looking at him.
Based on the conversation between the two just now, Hiiraeiji almost immediately understood what these two guys wanted to use him to do - they wanted to do something detrimental to Naruto.
Old and new hatreds surged in at the same time, and Hiiraeiji could barely restrain the urge to take action, but he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry. He hadn't fully understood the current situation yet, and if he acted rashly, he would lose many opportunities to learn information.
As ninjas, they all know the importance of information, and Hiiragi Eiji has a very big advantage at this time. He clearly knows the details of the ninjutsu of Reincarnation.
As a person who was brought out of the dirty soil, he will be controlled by the caster. In other words, theoretically speaking, Hiiragi Eiji should be controlled by one of the two people opposite him at this time. He didn't know which of the two of them had summoned him.
Hiiraeiji took a closer look at his current state, and found that not only did he not feel like he was being controlled by others, but he didn't even feel that he had a ninjutsu connection with anyone.
……what is happening? Could it be that he died in his sleep before? This is impossible. Even if he dies, his soul should remain in another world. The prerequisite for the reincarnation of the dirty land is that the soul still exists, and Hiiraeiji knows that after he leaves the ninja world, even if they get his His body is also determined to be impossible to reincarnate himself.
In order to confirm his status, he immediately called the system in his heart. However, something strange happened. There was silence in his mind, and the system that had been following him disappeared. And he also couldn't summon the protagonist panel.
Almost immediately, Hiiraeiji confirmed his status - for unknown reasons, his soul returned to his own world again, but he himself did not die. He should still be in Jinpei's apartment, and the system was It remained there with his true body.
...Now, he should only have come to this world with his soul.
Could it be that this is what the system told him about the treatment of the protagonist of the world?
Although he felt it was very outrageous, considering the series of things that had happened to him before, Hiiraeiji felt that the current situation was very normal.
After thinking about this, he calmly asked the two people in front of him: "So, do you need me to do anything to summon me?" The
masked man laughed lowly, "Your method is very good. , Kabuto, his thinking and logic are very sound. With his appearance, the blow to the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki will probably be greater."
Hiiraeiji keenly saw Yakushi Kabuto frowning slightly, but it was just a look. In an instant, he let go again.
Soon, he met Yakushi Kabuto's gaze.
The young man in a red cloak was slightly startled.
There was no other reason than that Hiiraeiji left such a deep impression on him when he was alive, especially those amber eyes full of murderous intent.
As early as when he was taking the Chunin Examination in Konoha, he noticed Hiiragi Eiji.
At that time, Hiiragi Eiji, who was only twelve years old, was already a chuunin, and his strength had reached the rank of jounin, but he was never promoted. He became the supervisor in the exam in the Forest of Death.
In that exam, Kabuto Yakushi's mission was to get close to Sasuke and collect information about him.
It was also at that time that he got to know the terrifying existence named Hiiragi Eiji up close for the first time. Before, he only knew that this kid often hung out with the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and Uchiha Sasuke, and that he gave people a very good appearance. Almost everyone who had dealt with him thought he was a gentle, kind and kind person. Thoughtful person.
Kabuto Yakushi didn't take such a person seriously, because such traits were clearly incompatible with ninjas. Through such a description, Kabuto Yakushi only thought that he was a bad guy. And bad people are usually linked to having no principles and bottom line.
Then he realized that he was totally wrong. Hiiraeiji's gentleness was just an appearance, or in other words, he just left his soft side to the people he cared about.
As enemies, Orochimaru and him obviously did not receive such preferential treatment.
He could still recall that this man even appeared in the Forest of Death in order to protect Sasuke and killed Orochimaru on the spot at the cost of being severely punished afterwards.
And that was just Orochimaru's clone. He was beaten in agony by the light-haired boy in front of him. If Hiiraeiji's physical condition was not suitable for long-term fighting, and Orochimaru had many kinds of life-preserving ninjutsu, he might not have been able to fight at all. It was impossible to leave the curse mark on Sasuke's body.
But fortunately, he showed up, which allowed Orochimaru to successfully take Uchiha Sasuke away.
Because according to the data, the reason why Uchiha Sasuke refuses to leave Konoha is most likely because of him and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Not long after Orochimaru discovered Hiiraei Shimei, he directly invited him and Sasuke to the Sound Ninja Village.
Kabuto Yakushi thought that he would not come and might hinder Sasuke.
Who knew he would actually go with Sasuke.
This was Kabuto Yakushi's misjudgment of Hiiraeiji once again. He thought that Hiiragi Eiji was not a person who cared about his own life that much, because he protected his shortcomings fiercely. Yakushi Kabuto thought that he would always put his two close friends first. Obviously, Orochimaru was not a suitable candidate for refuge.
But things are so unbelievable.
Later, when he was in the Sound Ninja Village, he demonstrated his ability to protect his shortcomings so well that no one in the entire base dared to do anything to Sasuke. Because they all knew that Hiiragi Eiji was standing there and staring at him.
He was not afraid of danger at all, Yakushi Kabuto had no doubt that if Orochimaru wanted to do something to Uchiha Sasuke, Hiiraeiji would definitely dare to use his sword on his 'boss'.
...The facts were indeed as he expected. Orochimaru died at the hands of these two people. Because he tried to take over Sasuke's body and make him the material for his own immortal reincarnation.
Kabuto Yakushi really doesn't want to become an enemy with Hiiraeiji, because he knows how difficult this person is. Fortunately, fortunately, this time, they are in the same camp.
Hiiraeiji ignored Yakushi Kabuto. All he could think about was how to make the masked man in front of him die suddenly on the spot. After thinking about it, he said: "How long has it been since I died? I want to know this. What happened within the time period.”
He didn't know how the other people reincarnated by the dirt behaved, but he still boldly asked. He was betting that the two people in front of him must be very confident in the art of earth reincarnation, betting that they would be paralyzed by the effect of earth reincarnation, and they would be too slow to feel his abnormality.
Hiiraeiji soon knew that his bet was right, because Kabuto was obviously stunned after hearing his question, but the surprise was only for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and twitched the corner of his mouth at Hiiraeiji, "Your sense of autonomy , it’s really a very complete reproduction.” As he said that, he glanced at the masked man standing next to him, and after finding that he had no objection, he said to Hiiragi Eiji: “It’s okay to tell you. It’s not long before you die. It didn't take long, and now the Fourth Ninja World War has started, and the Ninja World has formed the Ninja World Alliance."
Hiiraeiji's brows jumped, "...Ninja World Alliance Army?" He felt that he couldn't understand it, "You guys With so much energy, can you fight against the Ninja Alliance?" At this point, he frowned, "Besides, I can't think of the benefits of doing this. Is it just killing for your own selfish desires?" The
masked man finally spoke at this moment, "Don't you think this world is hopeless?"
Hiiraeiji: "..." No, he doesn't think so. On the contrary, he felt that the masked man in front of him was a fool.
"Where there are humans, there will be killings and disputes..."
Seeing that this guy was about to fall into a eloquent speech, Hiiraeiji interrupted him coldly, "So, are you trying to tell me? , in order to stop disputes and killings and make the world peaceful, you want to cleanse all mankind, right?" The
masked man's voice suddenly stopped. He looked at Hiiragi in silence for a moment, and finally said: "You are very understanding."
Hiiragi: " ...?"
Is he enlightened? ! He obviously just said it casually? ! Don't you think this is a bit too cerebral? !
Hiiragi Eiji almost couldn't keep the expression on his face. Good guy, this person has a mental health problem, right? !
"However, my plan is far from as crude as you summarized it. I will let everyone fall into a dream, and they will experience their complete lives in the dream, where there will be no war or blood, Everyone in the world can realize their wishes and sleep in dreams."
When he said this, the masked man's voice had a faint feeling of fanaticism, but Hiiragi Eiji felt something different.
...This guy is really looking forward to this dream.
Hiiraeiji reached out and touched his back out of habit. He found that his clothes should be the same as when he was alive, and his short sword was still tied behind his back.
In that case, there's no problem.
"The Ninja Army should be around here, right?" Hiiraeiji asked.
His mindless question made the masked man pause for a moment. His scarlet Sharingan looked at Hiiraeisi quietly. After a long time, he said: "That's true. Is it my imagination? Why did I Do you think you are not submissive? I seem to... feel your murderous intention."
Hiiraeiji smiled at him, "Is that so? I thought I disguised it well. But maybe..." Hiiraeisi revealed a With an embarrassed expression, "Your wish is really unbearable for me, so you can't control it completely." The
masked man's red eye suddenly narrowed, "What do you mean?"
Hiiragi looked at him with a smile, "Obviously, Your wish irritates me."
The masked man wanted to dream, probably because he had major shortcomings in his life. However, this was rare and common in the ninja world.
The nature of their work precludes them from having a bloody life.
But most people almost choose to swallow this shortcoming alone and carry everything silently. They may seek revenge on the culprits who caused their lives, or they may resolutely embark on the path of rebellion, but most of them have a bottom line. Even if it is a vicious traitor, basically no one would make such a world-destroying decision.
But the person in front of him was different. He had no bottom line. Because he has some shortcomings, he transfers his hatred to the world, and even pulls people all over the world to die with him. It just so happens that he seems to really have the power of ambition like sight.
This is completely beyond Hiiragi Eiji's acceptance range. Not everyone wants to escape and die in a false dream. There are more people who clearly know that the world is in devastation, but still struggle to survive.
Although there was a smile on his face, Hiiraeiji's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "If you want to dream so much, why not just make it yourself? Don't shout great slogans like world peace. You just want to Let the whole world be buried with you and the regret in your heart."
"Kabuto—!" the masked man shouted sternly.
Kabuto Yakushi was about to contact the filthy soil and reincarnate, but something happened that shocked him. His contact technique was actually ineffective against the guy in front of him——!
In just the blink of an eye, Hiiraeiji had already drawn his sword and rushed towards the masked man.
He is now a body of filthy earth and has long been freed from the interference of the Wood Escape Cells. Now he wants to let this masked man die here!
"Naruto, what are you looking at?" Kirabi asked in a low voice. He could feel that his friend Uzumaki Naruto was distracted during the battle.
Uzumaki Naruto's blue eyes immediately refocused, and he shook his head vigorously to get rid of the impossible thoughts in his mind.
...What appeared in front of Naruto was the dead person reincarnated from the dirty soil.
There were so many of them that Naruto felt that even if that person was among them, it was very natural.
But no, he was nowhere to be seen.
Even in this situation where the deceased reappeared, he couldn't find that person.
But now, it is no longer the time to think about this matter. If Eiji knew that he was distracted and injured because of this matter, he would definitely be angry.
Thinking of this, Naruto gave a stiff smile.
Only by making such an assumption can he feel that Yingsi has never disappeared and that he has always been by his side.
He always couldn't help but think about whether it was because of him, because of the agreement he made with Eiji, that Eiji left Konoha and that he could never come back. It will make him completely disappear from this world.
It would have been better if he hadn't been so greedy in the first place.
He has always known how serious a person Yingsi is. It was precisely because of the promise he made with him that he decisively left Konoha to find a slim chance of life.
Everything he did was to survive and fulfill the agreement he made with himself.
Just as Naruto's thoughts were getting more and more confusing, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
Naruto and Kirabi subconsciously looked up at the source of the sound.
I saw towering trees rising from the ground. They instantly disrupted the entire battle situation. On the savagely growing tree roots, there were two flexible figures running.
It was obvious that he was so far away from Naruto, but he recognized the man's identity almost instantly -
"Eiji -!"
Sasuke and his group were moving quickly through the woods.
The war of the ninja world has begun, and due to the reincarnation of the dirty land, the ninja world alliance soon fell into a disadvantage. But soon, a powerful force will be injected into this chaotic situation.
Orochimaru collectively 'resurrected' the first to fourth generation Hokage through filth reincarnation, and at this time they were rushing to the battlefield.
Among this group of people, there was also a figure wearing a ninja combat uniform who was unusually silent and fell behind the crowd.
It's Uchiha Itachi.
Before his death, Hiiraeiji poured all the life force he had absorbed from the masked man into his body, which gave Uchiha Itachi, who was already dying, a buffer again. He gave his eyes to Sasuke, and he himself had a pair of ordinary eyeballs transplanted to meet the minimum combat needs.
His physical condition was not good, but he still asked to follow.
Sasuke, who knew his philosophy, did not stop him, but silently acquiesced to his actions.
Faced with this situation, Itachi could only sigh.
...Because it's his fault.
For Konoha, he personally slaughtered his own people in front of Sasuke, leaving an indelible psychological shadow on young Sasuke and making him always regard himself as a target of hatred, which spurred him to constantly change. powerful.
Sasuke did it.
His original plan was to die in the decisive battle with Sasuke and leave his eyes to him, but the plan was broken by the young man named Hiiragi Eiji.
Staring at Sasuke's back, Uchiha Itachi felt dazed for a moment.
Has Sasuke grown into such a reliable being?
It was him who failed to face up to Sasuke's power. If at the very beginning, he could have an equal dialogue with Sasuke and tell him all his plans, instead of telling him everything after things are irreversible, then the ending would be -
"...What about me? Then what will happen to me?" Who should you hate? Everyone has a reason. You fight for Konoha, and Konoha fights for itself. What about me?" At that time, Sasuke collapsed and hugged the boy's body, the expression on his face was distorted for a time. , his hands kept trembling, "I have lost everything. For such a reason, for such a scam, for me, Ying Si died, but you told me that everything was fake from the beginning, then What should I do?"
To this day, recalling the scene at that time, Uchiha Itachi still felt a suffocating feeling.
It was he who personally created Sasuke's miserable life.
And the young man who had been by his side also disappeared because of this.
Just as the group of people was getting closer to the main battlefield of the Fourth Battle, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground.
This forced the group of people on the road to stop on the treetops and look at the scene ahead with a stern expression.
However, after seeing the scene ahead clearly, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama was the first to react. He said in surprise: "...This is? Wood Release: Arrival of the Tree Realm? Can anyone actually use this ninjutsu?"
The Arrival of the Tree World is a ninjutsu created by Senju Hashirama. It has a very wide range of influence. In contrast, it consumes an extremely large amount of chakra.
While he was still alive, no one in Konoha could use his Wood Release, let alone the tree world coming.
But after hearing Senju Hashirama's words, Sasuke, who was squatting on the treetop, suddenly felt his heart beating wildly.
The next second, he saw two people standing on the treetops rising out of thin air.
His eyes turned blood red almost instantly.
There can be no mistake, he will never admit the wrong person, the person who is fighting with another person——
"Eiji——!"
