Chapter 279 Action
"That's it for now, Wang Quan, you and Kakuzu will be a team. After you find him, you can move freely. There are no tasks assigned to you for now, but if you need anything, please feel free to ask."
"Understood. I'll withdraw now."
"Wang Quan, wait for me, Ling, I'm leaving too."
"Um."
Afterwards, Shiro and Afei disappeared into the dark space.
"Aren't you going to arrange for them to do something?"
"No rush, give me some more time. The power of these eyes has just been developed. Once the technique is completed, we can move a little more vigorously."
“But your body.”
"It's okay, this is all necessary. As long as his dream can be fulfilled, no matter how much it costs, it's fine!"
"Nagato." Konan looked at Nagato with a melancholy look in his eyes, sighed slightly, and then said, "So what do you think of the king's method?"
"It's just wishful thinking. His method isn't actually that different from ours, but it's much more difficult than ours. It will sooner or later attract the attention of other forces."
"Then we"
"It's okay. It's good for us to keep him for the time being. We are still short of manpower and need to make careful plans. Okay, that's it. I have to continue my training."
"Oh, I see."
After saying that, the two figures disappeared one after another, and this place fell into darkness again.
Here, Silang opened his eyes and saw Jingxia working hard to clean up the battlefield. After watching for a while, Silang felt that he couldn't let Jingxia work so hard. As a newly joined core member, he had to show his appreciation.
"Down the well, I'll help you." As he said this, he rushed towards the ruins of the town.
"No need, you are the core, how can I let you do such hard work!" But Jingxia also knew that he couldn't stop Shiro, so while speaking, he speeded up his hands.
He now only regretted why he had been cleaning so slowly earlier, and had to speed up after discovering it. Now, most of the fat meat in his mouth had to fly away.
Seeing this, Ah Fei on the side shouted, ran over, and joined Shi Lang and the others in picking up money.
"Damn it! Master A Fei, why don't you keep an eye on your surroundings? What if someone comes?"
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. There aren't many people in this crappy place. Besides, I'm the captain, so you should be the one keeping watch."
"What?! Cleaning up the battlefield is clearly my job, it's all assigned!"
"I'm the captain and you're the captain!?"
"Damn it, you are making excuses! Lord Wang Quan, please give us your opinion! Hey? Lord Wang Quan?" The man who was playing with Ah Fei in the well turned his head and saw Silang squatting on the ground, quietly looking at a little bird.
This scene, combined with the smiling mask on Shiro's face, was extremely heartwarming. He felt that Shiro was now full of affinity, which made people calm down involuntarily.
However, seeing this scene reminded him of Shiro's eyes when he was killing, which formed a sharp contrast with the present.
'Lord Wang Quan must have suffered a great blow in Konoha. Otherwise he wouldn't use this mask to hide his inner sadness,' he thought.
Ah Fei standing by seemed to be attracted by this poetic scene as well. He stopped the playful expression on his face and began to look at him quietly.
"What's going on down the well?" Silang glanced at Ah Fei, then turned his head and asked down the well.
"Oh, nothing more. Does Lord Wang Quan like animals very much?"
"I guess so. After all, she likes small animals, so she usually keeps quite a few. It's a pity."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, it's over."
Listening to Shilang's gentle voice at this time, coupled with his mask, Jingxia was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and said: "Lord Wang Quan, you are really gentle."
"Hmm? This isn't used to describe a man, is it?"
"Haha, that's what I mean." Jingxia touched his head and smiled foolishly, but he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing.
After thinking about it, he saw Ah Fei who was in a daze, and immediately understood. Although he was curious why Ah Fei, who was usually very talkative, was so quiet, he subconsciously ignored this point because he was attracted by the gentle scene created by Shilang.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the ears of the man in the well, "Illusion?! The man in the well! Don't be dazed! There's something wrong with him!"
Hearing this, Jingxia shuddered. Out of trust in Ah Fei, he did not hesitate and directly activated the chakra in his body. Suddenly, Jingxia's brain shook, and all the previous feelings disappeared.
"Tsk, I've been discovered. As expected, it's not so easy to combine two different systems."
"Wang Quan, what do you want to do?"
Shiro pushed the mask on his face and said lightly, "It's nothing, just testing a few ninjutsu, why did you wake up? Wouldn't it be better to just let me catch you?"
"Why? Lord Wang Quan, what did you just do?"
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding? You're a villain, so you believe all that? But it's true that she and I like animals, and they did die later."
"Then why?"
"Why? Because they taste good." Shiro said with a hint of playfulness.
"How could it be." Jingxia looked at Silang in disbelief and took a few steps back. This kind of quality made Silang shake his head in his heart. He was a typical idealist. Even if Silang was not around, he would have died sooner or later.
But Shiro did not lie to him, Ayue really likes small animals, especially the cooked ones.
Ah Fei patted the man in the well on the shoulder, signaling him to step back. He then took a few steps forward and looked at Shi Lang with narrowed eyes.
"So, what's your goal? And are you so confident? Don't forget, Kakuzu isn't far from here."
"Haha, don't scare me with Kakuzu. Besides, what if he comes? What do you think I'm telling you all this for? Right?"
"Brother Minato~"
"Shh!" A three-pointed kunai suddenly appeared and stabbed into the ground. Then, three figures suddenly flashed, accompanied by Minato's faint voice.
"It's not too late, is it?"
"Namikaze Minato, Mizutokaze En! Damn it! They're from Konoha!" After seeing Minato and the others appear, the calmness on his face finally disappeared, and was replaced by panic.
He still had many tasks to complete and could not leave them here now. However, while a look of panic appeared on his face, he did not slow down his movements. He quickly guided the chakra and activated the technique. Suddenly, two clumps of pitcher plants rose from under his feet and the feet of the people in the well.
On the other side, after Minato appeared, Shiro saw the pitcher plants rising rapidly, but Shiro was not surprised at all, everything was as expected.
"No, it's just right, Minato-kun." Shiro even replied to Minato's words before saying lightly,
"Ayue."
