Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

All three of them were Chunin-level, and they could only barely hold their own against a Jonin.

Xiao Nan asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, what brings you here?"

Perhaps because of the rescue and interaction just now, her attitude towards Shiranui Sho was no longer as reserved as when they first met.

A hint of intimacy appeared in her amber eyes.

"It's about the commission I talked to you about last time."

Shiranui Sho explained, "I need you to bring rain to several towns. We'll be departing tomorrow."

"Brother Xiao, how many days will it take?"

Mi Yan asked somewhat awkwardly.

Since Shiranui Sho had just saved them, he was naturally happy to help, even without expecting any reward.

However, since they are ninjas belonging to Amegakure, they will be severely punished if they accept commissions on their own or leave the village for an extended period of time.

"Don't worry, it won't take much time, as far as this world is concerned."

Shiranui Sho waved the three sheets of paper in her left hand. "I can only tell you the more specific details after we sign the agreement."

Only then did the three notice that Shiranui Sho was holding three pieces of paper with writing on them.

The three children took the agreement one by one and read it line by line.

Before long, the three of them finished reading the agreement and looked at each other.

The content of this agreement is very simple, and the main part is roughly divided into two parts.

First, their job duties and the method of calculating their compensation.

As Shiranui Sou said, the job was to bring rain, and the pay was calculated based on the actual area of ​​the town.

They roughly calculated that the job's pay was quite generous.

The second clause concerns confidentiality.

The agreement stipulates that the three individuals shall not disclose confidential information such as the content of their work or the location of their work to others.

This puzzled the three children.

After all, the work only involved rainfall and did not involve any secrets, so there was no need to keep it secret.

"Brother Xiao, we've signed!"

After the three discussed it in hushed tones, Mihiko finally spoke to Shiranui Sou.

He then scratched his head: "However, we still need to go back to the village to report on the mission. Why don't we sign the agreement and give it to you, Brother Xiao, before we set off tomorrow?"

"no problem."

Shiranui Sho nodded slightly. "I will come to find you at this time tomorrow, just like I did just now."

"Just now..."

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback, subconsciously recalling the scene where the other party had suddenly descended beside her like a god.

"Xiao Nan".

Shiranui Sou's voice brought Konan back to her senses, which had been somewhat distracted.

She looked up and met those dark, deep eyes, instinctively straightening her back: "Brother Xiao?"

Seeing that Konan was paying attention, Shiranui Akira continued, "Konan, compared to Yahiko and Nagato, you have another option."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from the bag behind him and slowly opened it under the watchful eyes of the three people.

Inside the box was a small, soft piece of red cloth, on which rested a fruit shaped like a bomb with peculiar patterns.

"This is a fried fruit. After eating it, you will gain a peculiar ability."

"This thing doesn't look like something you can eat..."

Mi Yan blinked, his focus clearly shifting.

Xiao Nan asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, what kind of ability is it?"

"Eat the fried fruit, and you will gain the ability to cause any part of your body to explode."

Shiranui Sho explained softly, "Your Paper Release technique can transform your body into pieces of paper, and this ability can also be extended to these pieces of paper."

As soon as the words were spoken, the three little ones gasped in shock.

Doesn't this mean that every piece of paper produced becomes an explosive tag?

How could there possibly be such an outrageous effect in the world?

Konan's eyes flickered slightly. She was no longer the ignorant child she once was. As a Chunin, how could she not understand the implications?

She had long harbored the idea of ​​combining explosive tags with the dance of paper talismans.

Unfortunately, explosive tags are single-use ninja tools and are very expensive; she simply didn't have enough money to buy them.

But if Huo Xiao's words are true, she will have an inexhaustible supply of explosive tags!

Once she fully integrates this explosive ability with the Paper Escape Technique, her weakness of lacking lethality will be completely compensated.

At that time, her strength may achieve a complete leap!

"Of course, I won't give you the fried fruit for nothing."

Shiranui Sho took out another piece of paper covered with writing, which was the second option he had specially prepared for Konan.

"If you choose this fruit, you will need to sign this agreement. Don't worry, the conditions are not harsh."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Nan reached out her little hand and took the agreement.

The three children browsed the agreement together.

First, there are the obligations that Shiranui Sho needs to fulfill, including providing the Devil Fruit and popularizing basic knowledge about the Devil Fruit.

Secondly, there are the obligations that Xiao Nan needs to fulfill after accepting the fruit.

In the future, she will need to serve as a bodyguard for the Alabasta Exotic Trading Company's Rain Country branch for life.

She must act promptly when the business is attacked or otherwise in danger.

Because it is a concurrent position, it does not conflict with her original identities as a member of the Rain Ninja and Akatsuki organization.

Xiao Nan's eyes flickered slightly.

Indeed, as Shiranui Sho said, this agreement does not contain any harsh conditions.

This agreement may seem like a permanent "contract of servitude," but if it were placed throughout the entire ninja world, countless people would probably rush to sign their names.

After all, that fruit can bring a person a transformative power.

In the cruel ninja world, power represents almost everything!

Just now, the scene of being powerless to resist the Cloud Village Jonin and only being able to passively await death flashed before Konan's eyes again.

"Brother Xiao, I'm willing!"

Xiao Nan held the agreement tightly in her arms, her gaze resolute.

"it is good."

With a smile on her lips, Shiranui Sho handed the fried fruit in her hand to Konan.

"Xiao Nan, this fruit is yours."

Beside them, Yahiko and Nagato looked on with envy and blessings.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Xiao Nan took the strangely shaped fried fruit, mentally prepared herself, and then took a big bite with her eyes closed.

"It tastes awful!!"

After a long while, Xiao Nan let out a soft cry, her voice trembling.

Shiranui Sho smiled and said, "Let's try it. The fruit's power should have taken effect by now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan nodded slightly, her slender, snow-white hand clenched into a fist, and she swung it toward a thick tree beside her.

Boom—

A violent explosion erupted from the center of that fist.

Under the astonished gaze of Xing Suo, the thick tree instantly exploded, broke off and fell to the ground, the broken end charred black.

Upon seeing this, Konan gasped and covered her mouth in surprise. Nagato and Yahiko exchanged glances, speechless for a long time...

Chapter 141 Mikoto and Vivi

The next morning.

Xiao Nan opened her sleepy eyes, turned to her side, and her slender, snow-white feet peeked out from under the covers, gently stepping into a pair of soft, green frog slippers. Her movements were gentle, carrying the languidness of someone just waking up.

She wore a dark brown nightgown, which concealed her longing for that warm and loving life.

For those few years, Jiraiya lived with them and taught them principles and ninjutsu like a father.

Since becoming a war orphan, this was the first time Xiao Nan had felt like she had a "home" again.

Unfortunately, Jiraiya was ultimately a Konoha ninja, and it was already incredible that he had spent several years here teaching them.

After Jiraiya left, she took the frog-patterned pajamas with her and came to Amegakure with Nagato and Yahiko.

Many years have passed, and she has grown quite a bit taller, so her old pajamas no longer fit her.

She searched through all the shops in Yuyin Village before finally finding a beautiful lingerie set that was somewhat similar to the original.

Hmm... at least it's similar in spirit.

After all, reminiscing is one thing, but to make a young girl who loves beauty wear an extravagant frog pajama every day at home would somewhat ruin her image.

However, speaking of Jiraiya-sensei...

Xiao Nan went to the bathroom to wash up, recalling what happened yesterday.

During this time, a senior disciple named Shiranui Sou found them and made contact.

Yesterday, they even gave her a strangely shaped fruit.

At this point, according to what the other party said, she should have become a so-called "Devil Fruit user".

"Brother Xiao..."

Xiao Nan looked up at herself in the mirror, her clear eyes filled with contemplation, her beautiful short blue-purple hair falling softly, swaying gently with her subtle movements.

The feeling that Shiranui Sho gave her was different from that of Jiraiya-sensei.

Jiraiya-sensei is a kind teacher and an unreliable parent.

Brother Xiao is a reliable elder brother.

Whether it was the life-saving grace yesterday or that fried fruit, the image of the boy was deeply imprinted in Xiao Nan's heart.

What also impressed her was the other person's dark purple short hair.

The color was deeper than her blue-purple hair, yet they shared many similarities.

His similar hair color and brotherly demeanor unintentionally stirred feelings of closeness in her heart.

"Oh no, I can't dawdle any longer."

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly, clearing her mind of the chaotic thoughts. "If we don't hurry, it'll be too late!"

She quickly finished washing up and then returned to her room to change from her pajamas into the ninja outfit she wore on missions.

After everything was ready, she sat quietly on the sofa at home with her small bag on her back and waited.

Her long, slender legs were pressed together and tightened, her ninja boots hugging her ankles, with a glimpse of her pink toes peeking out from the boot tips, which were nervously curling and lightly tapping the ground.

When you care about something, you also feel more uneasy.

At this point, Konan began to worry whether she could help Shiranui Sho as he hoped.

Her gaze gently fell on the coffee table in front of her. The tabletop was clean and tidy, with two neatly laid-out sheets of paper.

One is an agreement to hire her to help with rainfall, and the other is a contract signed yesterday regarding fried fruit.

She kept both contracts in excellent condition, without a single crease or wrinkle, and her name was already signed on them in her neat handwriting.

Beside the contract, a uniquely shaped kunai lay quietly.
