Chapter 392: Gekinin Picture Scroll
The Hidden Cloud Village suffered heavy losses.
The steps that were about to step onto the battlefield had to be temporarily retracted.
The AB combination of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee is now unable to play, which is really a blow to the morale of the Kumogakure Ninja. What's more damaging is that Killer Bee was seriously injured by the Fourth Raikage! Even with the Eight-Tails in his body, it will take time for Killer Bee to recover from the serious injury to his prime.
He was beaten to the brink of death by the Fourth Raikage and many ninjas. After a whole day's efforts by the Sealing Squad, he was finally able to release the control of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
During this process, the Fourth Raikage was also injured, and more than a dozen ninjas from the Sealing Squad died.
The Hidden Cloud Ninja's trust in Killer Bee has been shaken to a certain extent.
Once we get to the battlefield, will the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki still be a help to us? What if he goes crazy again? The Fourth Raikage is not good at talking, and he doesn't know how to explain it, so he can only sulk alone.
He himself was injured and Kirabi was injured.
Karui left for Konoha, and no one mentioned the matter. Everyone acted in tacit agreement, as if that person had never existed.
The magnetic ninja Troy was killed by Hiruzen, which was very painful.
The ninja that Troy was targeting was roughly Asuma from Konoha Village, a typical elite jonin. Now that such a jonin with a bloodline limit had died in the village and his body had been abducted, it was another heavy blow to the morale of the Hidden Cloud Ninja.
The remaining Ginkaku's body was stolen, the Amber Bottle was stolen, and Danzo was fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains of the Land of Lightning. These things made the Fourth Raikage extremely annoyed. With so many internal troubles, launching a war to divert conflicts within the village? It's not impossible, but it's more complicated to operate and has greater risks.
He chose to capture Danzo first, take back the Amber Bottle and Ginkaku's body, and then use Danzo as a bargaining chip to exchange benefits and territory with Konoha.
"Oh, what are you putting on there? It doesn't look good." Hinata was a little dissatisfied when she saw the toenail polish on Ino's toes.
"Why are you staring at my feet for no reason?" Ino was a little speechless.
The Akatsuki organization all have black toenails. It was fine when they were wearing black coats with red clouds, but now that they are wearing casual clothes, Ino's toenails look too mature and too seductive.
Ino actually washed on the way, but it was not clean enough. Unexpectedly, after returning home, she was still discovered by Hinata who habitually lowered her head. She couldn't say that she went to pretend to be a member of the Akatsuki organization because the process was very exciting. She could only use her youthful ignorance and curiosity as an excuse.
Hinata scolded her.
Karui came out of the Konoha interrogation department and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hinata washing Ino's feet.
This posture between the two of them. From the perspective of the Hidden Cloud Ninja, it still seems too intimate, but since they are two girls, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. However, Karui still feels it's a bit weird.
Ino, who was barefoot, quickly introduced them.
Karui has an impatient personality, while Hinata prefers quietness. Their living environments, education, and expectations for the future are completely different. There is really nothing to talk about, so they just exchanged a few simple pleasantries.
"Okay, you guys continue." Karui waved his hand, indicating that you can continue washing your feet. I'll go out for a walk and come back later.
"Um? Karui, what would you like to eat in the evening?" Knowing that she would be staying at the Yamanaka family recently, Hinata hurriedly chased to the door and asked.
Karui was confused. Are the interpersonal relationships in Konoha so complicated? The daughter of the Hyuga family also works part-time as a cook for the Yamanaka family? I don't understand. I don't understand at all.
After two days of discussion, Karuyi's identity issue was successfully resolved.
Akimichi Dingzuo admired this girl who came all the way to follow his son, so he kept his previous promise and approved of this marriage.
With the endorsement of Ino-Shika-Chou, and the Akimichi family's always good popularity, even Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En did not make things difficult for Karui, and the obstacles for Karui to enter Konoha's life were completely removed.
Konoha Village sent an official letter to Kumogakure Village, announcing that Karui and Choji were engaged. The Kumogakure Village neither agreed nor objected, and the matter just passed.
She was just a female ninja who married into a rival ninja village. This was not uncommon in the previous Warring States Period or in the current ninja village era, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Jiraiya originally wanted to follow Ali's precedent and appoint Karui as his own Anbu ninja, but Karui refused. She didn't want to work as a ninja anymore.
The Konoha high-ranking officials did not expect to obtain any information about the Hidden Cloud Village from her. Since she was unwilling, then forget it.
Karui stayed at Yamanaka's house for two days and felt that living under someone else's roof was uncomfortable after all.
Ino didn't have any vacant houses. All her houses had been sold to "Kwang Shiyi". At this time, she could only negotiate with "Kwang Shiyi" and rent out a house for Karui to live in.
If you don't want to be a ninja and want to live in a village like Konoha with a high consumption level, you must have a source of income.
"So what skills do you have?" Ino asked Karui in Shikamaru's curry house.
Karui frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that she had no other skills except killing?
Hinata has now joined their small team and is helping out with ideas: "Karui, let me see. Let me see you, you..."
The name Karui means "light" in the Hidden Cloud Village. In contrast to her, the neurotic Omoi means "heavy".
The definition of "light" in many places is "small in weight, shallow in degree, little effort, and appears casual." Karui usually does things in a hurry and seems full of passion, but in fact he does things without any plan.
She frowned and felt a little unhappy about Hinata's hesitation, but she knew her role was awkward, so she didn't say anything.
Hinata was fine in front of acquaintances, but still a little uncomfortable in front of strangers like Karui: "Actually, actually I... I just think the card game you mentioned a few days ago is very interesting. Maybe you can try to promote it in Konoha?"
Maybe playing cards is the only skill he has besides killing people? Karui subconsciously turned his head to look at Dingci. The fat man was eating curry rice. He was not afraid of spicy food at all and was eating very happily.
Shikamaru nudged him lightly with his elbow. The fat man didn't hear what was said specifically, but just nodded: "I think it's good, very good!"
In this way, the card game called "Gekinin Emaki" was born in Konoha Village.
The game consists of a variety of character cards, all of which are popular ninjas.
When playing in the Hidden Cloud Village Tavern, the cards were all Hidden Cloud Ninjas. Now that we are in Konoha, the rules don't need to be adjusted, you can just change the characters and use them again.
We can’t play in the Hidden Cloud Village anymore, so let’s change our destination and play in Konoha as well!
