Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 285
c285 White and Departure from the Land of Water
Although he seemed to be wandering aimlessly in the Land of Water, Shirataki’s first destination was actually Kirigakure Village. Continuously moving forward, Shirataki gradually entered an area covered with ice and snow. Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky and fell on Shirataki’s shoulders and hair. However, before they completely settled, they were gently bounced away by a strange force.
The color of the snowflakes was a little whiter than the color of Shirataki’s hair. His progress slowed down a lot. The snowy scenery within a radius of dozens of miles was extremely clear to Shirataki’s perception.
The range of dozens of miles is clear at a glance, and each snowflake can clearly sense its falling trajectory. This feeling is as if the gods are composing a beautiful picture. As he walked, a small town appeared at the end of Shirataki’s perception range.
In this snow-covered town, a frail-looking child of about five or six years old was sitting quietly in the snow on one side of the street. The clothes on his body were very thin and shabby. He was obviously a homeless orphan, begging on the ice and snowy streets. The passers-by basically ignored his existence and hurried past him.
Although the little face is a little dirty, it is still very fresh and refined. Coupled with the delicate temperament, it does not look like a boy, but a bit like a girl. Even in this ice and snow, he seemed to be completely unable to feel the cold despite his ragged clothes. Ice and snow could not make him shiver, but hunger could.
Begging in this kind of snow is a very difficult thing in itself. The ice and snow cannot take away the heat from his body, but without food, the heat in his body is gradually disappearing.
At this moment, a piece of bread suddenly fell into the bowl in front of him. There was a glimmer of light in his blank eyes. Although his body was a little stiff, he immediately raised his head and looked at the person who threw him the bread.
“Thank you.” Even though he was so hungry that he wanted to swallow the bread immediately, he still trembled and expressed his gratitude to the person who gave him the bread.
The figure in front of him was wearing a white robe, embroidered with the spiral family crest of the Uzumaki clan, and with snow-colored hair. Standing in the snow, he seemed to be completely integrated with the ice and snow, making the man holding the bread He was slightly in a daze.
In this kind of ice and snow weather, it is rare to see people dressed like this, and he has never seen that kind of temperament, as if he has blended into the whole world, and has a feeling of being aloof from everything.
After pursing his lips, he lowered his head and ate the bread. Bai Taki looked at the young man in front of him, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes. It was not a sudden feeling of pity, but the identity of this young man was very familiar to Bai Taki.
Being able to kneel down on the street in such a world of ice and snow, and still not seem to be freezing, as if ignoring the cold, this kind of physique belongs to the Shui Wuyue clan who has the limit of ice escape blood inheritance. With ice escape, and appearing here at this time, coupled with his age, there shouldn’t be any surprises. There is a high probability that this child is white.
Looking at Shiro who was eating bread there, Shiro Taki felt a little touched in his heart. Shiro, who possesses the boundary of ice escape blood succession, can be said to be born with a higher starting point than ordinary people. After all, even the Minazuki clan has the boundary of ice escape blood succession. There are not many people. Just like the Uchiha clan, not everyone can have Sharingan.
However, in the Kingdom of Fire, the Blood Successor was regarded as an excellent talent, but in the Kingdom of Water, due to the war and various high-level policies, he was regarded as an unknown person with a curse. In the village where Bai was born, the villagers all feared and hated the power of the blood inheritance boundary. Bai’s mother had the blood inheritance boundary and hid it as a secret until Bai was discovered that she also had the blood inheritance boundary. After Bai’s father found out, he led the villagers to kill Bai’s mother. Just when they were about to kill Bai, the horrified Bai accidentally used the blood inheritance limit and killed everyone.
From then on Bai became an orphan and wandered around. Because of these things, Bai was afraid of this talent. Like the villagers he killed, he regarded this talent as a curse and lived a life of begging.
People who are somewhat similar to Haku, as well as Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan, also have no goals and live in confusion. If Haku hadn’t met Momochi Zabuza and Kimimaro met Orochimaru, their lives might have been ruined. Can’t find the meaning of existence.
“What’s your name?” Bai Taki stood there quietly, looking at the boy who had finished eating the bread, and asked softly.
The “white” boy’s answer was not beyond Bai Taki’s expectations. After all, there were not so many members of the Shui Wuyue clan who had awakened to ice escape in this world, and they happened to be at this age and were begging in the Kingdom of Water.
Bai Taki’s eyes were a little evasive. He didn’t know why Bai Taki stayed here. Even if most people gave him something to eat, they would just throw it away and leave without paying any attention to him.
Bai quickly finished the bread Shirataki gave him. Seeing that Shirataki hadn’t left yet, he couldn’t help but asked weakly, “Is there anything you need me to do?”
Hearing Bai’s question, Bai Taki smiled and said, “I need you to follow me.” After saying that, Bai Taki turned around and walked towards the outside of the town.
Bai stood there in astonishment, looking at Bai Taki’s back, feeling at a loss for a moment. It wasn’t until Bai Taki’s back almost disappeared into the vast snowy scene and disappeared at the end of the street that he suddenly woke up, struggled hard, stood up, and chased Bai Taki in the direction he left with some staggering steps.
Bai Taki, who felt that he had been abandoned by the world, suddenly heard the words that someone needed him. It was as if a ray of light appeared in the dark world, and he couldn’t help but desperately try to catch that ray of light. Bai Taki’s back, It’s that ray of light.
Shirataki didn’t stop, and he didn’t look back until he reached the outside of the town, but everything behind him was under Shirataki’s perception. After leaving the town, Shirataki walked in the snow. Every step he took seemed to be in the air. Although he walked on the snow, he did not leave any footprints, did not deliberately slow down, and did not deliberately slow down. Pick up the pace.
Bai Taki kept moving forward at a constant speed. He didn’t know how long he had been walking, but Bai finally caught up from behind. His clothes were completely covered in snow and even soaked through. He didn’t know how many times he fell down along the way, but he stood up every time and continued to chase Shirataki.
When he caught up, Shirataki finally stopped, turned to look at him, and showed a faint smile, “Sure enough, you are more suitable to be a ninja.”
He didn’t know how long it had been since no one smiled at him. Bai looked at Bai Taki’s smile and felt that the ray of light seemed to be infinitely magnified, banishing all the darkness in an instant.
“Let’s go.”
“Um.”
Bai didn’t know what Bai Taki needed him to do, but as long as Bai Taki needed him, that was enough.
“Kakashi-senpai, what are we going to do this time?” Shisui asked from behind while flying among the trees.
“This time we are going deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Water to investigate intelligence, so we must not reveal our identities unless necessary. First of all, we must change our ANBU costumes.”
“Then, let’s not call each other by our real names. Shisui, your code name this time is Shun. Xiyan, your code name is Yan. Tenzo, your code name is Zang. As for me, you call me Gin. Understand. Yet?”
“Understood, captain.” Everyone shouted in unison.
“Okay, when we reach the border of the Country of Fire, we will change our clothes and disguise ourselves. Remember, don’t reveal your identity. The situation in the Mist Ninja Village is very complicated at this time. If one mistake is made, it may lead to a fierce battle. It is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Although they knew that this mission was dangerous, they did not expect that even Kakashi would say such words. Kakashi felt very heavy at this time.
Feeling the solemn atmosphere of the three people behind him, Kakashi chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, even if I encounter an enemy, I won’t let you die before me. I will never let the enemy hurt my companions.” Three When people heard this, their hearts warmed up. Looking at the thin figure in front of them, they felt an incomparable sense of security.
The trees flew by before our eyes, and time also gradually passed by with the constant jumping of our toes. From sunrise to sunset, and then from sunset to sunrise, ANBU’s mission always had no day or night, only success or failure.
“Yin, the border is just ahead.” Xi Yan said.
“Well, let’s stop!” The four of them stopped on a big tree instantly.
“Zang, you can use wood to make four rooms, and we can change our clothes in them.”
“Yes!” Tianzang formed a seal with his hands, and chakra surged “Mudun·Four Pillars House!” In an instant, four houses appeared in front of the four people.
“The hidden ninjutsu is really convenient.” Shisui sighed.
“Okay, let’s go in and change clothes.” If Xiyan wasn’t there, the other three boys wouldn’t mind changing clothes in the wilderness, but now that there are girls present, some things need to be paid attention to.
The person Kakashi likes to take with him most when performing tasks now is Tenzo. If nothing else, with Tenzo here, he doesn’t have to worry about not having a place to sleep every night.
Soon, the four of them changed their clothes and walked out of the room. I saw Kakashi wearing black clothes and a black windbreaker, and his tall figure was clearly visible. And Kakashi was not wearing a mask at this time. After all, it was too strange for an ordinary person to wear a mask.
He has a handsome appearance and a head of silvery hair. He is such a handsome young man. The three of them were stunned when they saw Kakashi when they came out of the room. By the way, it was the first time for them to see Kakashi’s true face, and Xiyan blushed even more.
“Gin, it turns out you look like this.” Zhisui said in surprise.
“This is really the first time I see you. If you don’t hide your appearance, maybe many little girls will fall in love with you.” Tianzang joked.
Kakashi rolled out his dead eyes, “Okay, stop talking nonsense and get ready to enter the Kingdom of Water. Let’s just pretend to be tourists.” Kakashi didn’t bother to pay attention to Tenzo’s teasing. Now is not the time for teasing. .
Kakashi and others appeared at the dock from the Kingdom of Fire to the Kingdom of Water. To go to the Kingdom of Water, you must take a boat, otherwise you will be exhausted just walking on the sea with one pair of legs.
Moreover, this will easily attract the attention of the patrolling ninjas in the Mist Ninja Village. By then, in their home court, they will be played to death without even knowing it. After changing their clothes, the four Kakashis were no different from ordinary pedestrians, so naturally they did not attract the attention of interested people.
Kakashi quickly found a passenger ship. There were many passengers inside, including caravans and tourists. If he blended in, he would not look out of place.
Although the Mist Ninja Village is in dire straits, ordinary people in the Kingdom of Water are still very relaxed. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to enter the territory of the Water Kingdom. What is difficult is to find out the information about the Mist Ninja Village.
Over the years, the Mist Ninja Village has been very tightly sealed. I am afraid that even the daimyo of the Kingdom of Water do not know much about the situation in the Mist Ninja Village. Kakashi stood in front of the deck of the ship, looking at the endless sea, and murmured to himself, “Mist Ninja Village, I don’t know who I will meet this time.”
The black windbreaker was blown by the sea breeze. The silver-white boy looked at the endless sea and wondered what he was thinking.
