Chapter 270: Puppet in the Boundary
On the other side, as Minato walked up the stairs, he saw a hair dropped on the ground. Looking along the stairs, there was a hair every few steps.
Minato smiled. If it was just a hint before, it was now a clear statement.
However, Minato was not in a hurry to find her. The attitude of the shopkeeper just now was quite obvious. If he went to find the girl now, he might make a mess of things.
Therefore, he decided to postpone this matter and notify Mito first. Thinking of this, Minato did not stop and walked straight towards their room.
After returning to the room, Minato explained to Mito what he had just encountered and handed the information scroll in his hand to Mito.
"Little girl? It looks like she's the one I'll be fighting alongside. Come on, let's go over there and reunite with her before we discuss this information."
"clear."
At this time, just as they were about to go out, Minato suddenly said: "Mito-sama, please catch me, and let's go directly with Flying Thunder God."
"Hmm? That's good, it saves us trouble."
After all, it is a bit weird for two grown men to go looking for a little girl alone, so if they want to go, they can only do it by sneaking in, which would be more troublesome.
Therefore, it would be best if we could fly in directly.
With a "swish", Minato and Mito appeared directly in the middle of a room, with Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai stuck on the ground.
In the direction directly opposite them, there was a little girl sitting at the table fiddling with something. When she saw them appear, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she did not stop moving her hands.
Minato and the others did not disturb her and just let her act. After all, she could basically be considered a friendly force now, so it would be bad to interrupt her actions rashly.
Moreover, they all knew that Shiro had some unique ninjutsu. As a disciple sent by Shiro to assist them, she should have some skills. They were also quite curious about this.
Finally, the little girl seemed to have done it. She waved her little hand above the pattern on the table, and suddenly a strange wave enveloped the room.
It was a very strange feeling, as if their perception was confined to this room!
However, they were just a little surprised and not panicked. One reason was that they were experienced in battle and had encountered this type of ninjutsu before. The second reason was that these were friendly forces, so there was no need to panic.
Finally, it is the confidence brought by strength. They can roughly feel that this barrier is not very strong, and they only need to use a little force to break it.
This is also the direct reason why they did not act in a hurry.
This little girl is naturally A Yue. Originally, Shi Lang should have come, but some accidents happened on his side, so A Yue had to come in his place.
The barrier was also deployed for the purpose of keeping secrets. Currently, A Yue has no way of detecting whether there is a White Zetsu nearby, so the barrier can only be used to isolate them.
Although this barrier is very fragile, as long as the people inside do not do anything wrong, others outside will not be able to find it. In this world where not many people know magic, this is a first-class hiding method.
After laying the barrier, A Yue stood up from the ground, walked quickly to Minato with his short legs, and bowed.
"Hello, Uncle Minato. Hello, sir."
"Uh, hello to you too, haha, hello to you too." Minato, who was so young to be called uncle, said he was very embarrassed, very embarrassed.
Mito, on the other hand, didn't care so much. He looked at the embarrassed Minato with amusement, then turned his attention to Ayue again: "Well, you too, but how are you going to prove that you are his disciple?"
"Well, this master told me, please wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and shouted behind him, "Xiao Yu, come out quickly, let's get down to business. Seriously, why are you hiding at this time!"
Then, to the surprised expressions of Minato and the others, a bird that was the same shape as the Asuka puppet but much smaller, only the size of two fists, walked out crookedly.
Although its movements were very clumsy and some of its body tissues felt like metal, they could still tell from its lively eyes and the chakra aura that it was alive!
Unlike Minato who was simply surprised by its strangeness, Mito thought of more. They had already guessed it a long time ago when they received the technical information of the bird puppet handed over by Shiro.
A series of subsequent studies on this ninjutsu showed that it contained traces of the use of the soul!
However, at that time, due to the consideration of Sakumo's attitude, and the fact that this technique used the souls of birds, it did not touch the moral bottom line, and it could indeed bring more benefits.
They did not pursue Shilang's research. After all, although the research was done at that time, it was still just a guess, and they could not come up with effective means of proof.
Therefore, under Sakumo's strong opposition, they gave up the idea of further studying this technique and guiding Shiro to conduct in-depth research.
However, seeing this scene, it was confirmed that Shiro was indeed doing biological research.
He didn't discriminate against this kind of thing. The second generation had also done this kind of research, and even studied humans, so he could understand it to some extent, but he still felt a little repulsive in his heart.
After all, he was still a normal person, and he could never fully accept something like playing with souls. Therefore, he silently crossed Shiro out of the list of candidates for Hokage.
Before this, he was still very optimistic about Shiro. His talent and character were impeccable, otherwise he would not have recommended him to Sakumo. After becoming Sakumo's apprentice, his background also matched.
Therefore, before this, even though he was suspected of doing this research and Sakumo's suicide would bring some potential risks, he was still very optimistic about Shiro because of the good first impression.
But it's too late to say anything now. There are many people who conduct this kind of experiment. It can even be said that there are quite a lot of them in the research field. However, most people will gradually develop some psychological problems.
This is just like when ninjas often kill people on the battlefield and go crazy, the probability is very high, and only a few people can always stick to their original intentions.
If there were just some signs before, he could have provided some guidance to prevent him from going down that path. After all, as a second-generation disciple, he was somewhat confident in this regard.
But now that Shiro has embarked on that path, there is nothing he can do. Naturally, he will cross Shiro out of the list of candidates for the next Hokage. He dare not put the future of Konoha in the hands of a potential psychopath.
Not even as a candidate!
