In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Lord Tianyu, then let me wait and see!"

Orochimaru's lips curled into a smile, and then he gradually retreated.

He merged with the wall behind him, disappeared from Tianyu's sight, and left this place.

Meanwhile, Tianyu was not idle either.

He was wearing a black trench coat and slipped out of Konoha silently under the cover of night.

In the forest surrounding Konoha Village, Tenyu launched a very inconspicuous signal flare into the sky.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

A black-haired boy wearing a kimono appeared in front of Tianyu.

This boy, whom even the world no longer remembers,

This person was none other than Bai, whom Tenyu had met in the Land of Waves.

If they don't kill him,

Bai couldn't find any meaning in his existence.

Therefore, Tianyu proposed that they could cooperate.

If Bai helps me carry out missions outside...

He can pay him a commission based on the content of the task, just like he used to pay Kado.

Bai agreed to this.

And from that time until now,

Bai has been helping Tianyu carry out a secret mission—finding someone.

"Lord Tianyu, you need to find that person, and I have found him." Bai knelt on one knee before Tianyu and said very respectfully.

"Very good, what you did has been very helpful to my next plan." Tianyu's eyes showed a hint of praise and recognition as he praised Bai. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly for the commission from this mission."

"Lord Tianyu, you're too kind. When I was on my previous missions, you generously provided me with financial support, which enabled me to gather information about that person so quickly," Bai said humbly.

"Alright, enough of the small talk, take me to see him."

"Yes, Lord Tianyu."

Tianyu took out his mechanical bird mount from his storage ring.

This mechanical bird, which he later improved upon once more,

The speed is faster than before.

From Konoha Village to the village closest to Konoha Village

A distance that would take an ordinary Jonin at least two hours to cover.

Tianyu, along with Bai and the other two, arrived in just half an hour riding a mechanical bird.

woohoo~~

The wind whistled past my ears.

They landed at the entrance of a very ordinary small town.

This town is not prosperous, unlike Konoha, where there are brightly lit places even at night.

Guided by Bai, Tianyu walked for a long time on the deserted streets before finally stopping in front of a house in the small town.

"Lord Tianyu, the person you are looking for is right here."

"I see."

Tianyu nodded.

Then he knocked on the door of the house very politely.

"Who?"

A young man's voice came from inside.

With a creaking sound as the door opened,

A man with black hair and black eyes peeked half his head out from under the door.

The moment the man with black hair and black eyes saw who was outside the door, his face was filled with unconcealed shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

His voice trembled as he exclaimed in astonishment:

"Tian, ​​Tianyu? You... how did you find this place?"

Chapter 144 The Choice of Still Water

"Aren't you welcoming me?" Tianyu asked with a faint smile.

"No, of course not! Please come in."

After the black-haired, black-eyed man realized what was happening,

He immediately opened the gate and invited Tianyu and Bai into the courtyard.

Tianyu scanned the entire courtyard.

Although the location of this house is considered relatively remote in the town,

However, this residence is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, and has at least 20 rooms.

Moreover, behind this house lies a vast forest.

It can be described as a training ground with unparalleled advantages.

"Long time no see, Shisui."

Tianyu smiled and said with narrowed eyes.

Standing before Tianyu was a man with black hair and black eyes.

No one could have imagined that he was Uchiha Shisui, who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time.

"Tianyu... I didn't expect you to have grown so tall."

It's been so many years, it really has been a long time!

Uchiha Shisui smiled bitterly.

When the two met that time a few years ago,

Tianyu was still just a teenager.

This time, when they met, he had reached the height of an adult, and the aura he exuded was quite astonishing.

If it weren't for the fact that his face was delicate yet still somewhat youthful,

Uchiha Shisui found it hard to believe that he was only thirteen years old this year.

Thirteen years old...

In the ninja world, they can actually be considered adults.

In that instant, he suddenly thought of Itachi Uchiha, whom he had always regarded as a younger brother.

"Is Itachi... alright?" Uchiha Shisui asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"It's alright, I won't die for now."

"Forehead……"

Uchiha Shisui was speechless at this answer.

It seems Itachi hasn't had a good time these past few years... After all, he's carried so much on his shoulders, it must have been tough for him.

How did you know I was still alive?

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui asked Tengo the question that concerned him the most.

In the eyes of the world, including his closest friend Itachi Uchiha, everyone believed that he had died before the Uchiha clan massacre.

He never imagined that, many years later...

How could this boy named Tianyu have found me?

"intuition."

Tianyu smiled faintly, giving a very perfunctory answer.

When Itachi Uchiha came to find him, he always felt that Shisui Uchiha's death was very suspicious.

According to his memory, Uchiha Shisui gave one of his eyeballs to Uchiha Itachi before jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

However, Itachi Uchiha did not witness Shisui's suicide.

Therefore, Tengo had the idea that Uchiha Shisui was still alive.

Besides that, there's another reason...

"Brother Shisui, my shuriken broke by accident, what should I do..."

At this moment, a four-year-old girl with black hair and black eyes...

In a childish voice, she tugged at Uchiha Shisui's clothes and asked softly.

In her other hand, she clutched a kunai whose edges had been worn dull from use.

It has obviously been used for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru, we don't have any extra money to buy shuriken right now."

"Once my brother gets his next mission and earns his commission, he'll buy Kaoru new ninja tools, okay?"

Uchiha Shisui said apologetically to the little girl.

"Here, this is for you." Tianyu casually pulled out one of his kunai and handed it to the little girl.

"Wow, what an exquisite kunai!"

The little girl named Kaoru's face immediately lit up with surprise.

He accepted the kunai from Tianyu with both hands and thanked him very obediently.
