Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

What is this? Do you consider yourself a worker?

But before Seto Chihiro could finish thinking about his future plans, he looked up and saw the taxi sign change from empty to occupied, and a white arm closed the door under the scorching sun, and then the car disappeared from his sight.

Chapter 23 Important Customers of Huakaiyuan

"What are you planning to do...so urgent..."

Under the scorching sun, Seto Chihiro's expression gradually became strange. Could it be that Hiratsuka Shizuka had endured it all night and was planning to escape now?

Don’t you think it’s a little too late to leave now?

He just happened to see...

"Oh, by the way, the cell phone..."

Seto Chihiro fumbled around on his body. When Hiratsuka Shizuka used his phone before, she seemed to have memorized his number. When he used Flying Thunder God, this phone, which was full of age, seemed to vibrate twice. However, he was looking for the location where Gurongi appeared at that time, so he didn't open it immediately.

When I clicked on the message, two messages appeared one after another, and the signature was "Xiao Jing" without exception.

[I forgot to tell you, there is a convenience store not far downstairs, and don’t show your superpowers in front of others...]

Well... time froze at 20 minutes ago, when he had just left the apartment.

[Something happened at school. I'll be back soon. The key is in the flowerpot on the windowsill. When I come back, I'll let you see my cooking skills.]

"This... I'm about to be assimilated by the natural energy, but I still have the mood to care about school affairs?"

Seto Chihiro didn't know how to complain.

People in society are in a panic now. The food sold in supermarkets is much more expensive than usual. If there were not dedicated staff running around to explain things 24 hours a day, riots would have broken out in Chiba Prefecture long ago.

In this situation, how could Shizuka Hiratsuka still have the mind to go to school?

"I don't know where Daguba is now. It's impossible to travel all over J Country to find the Flying Thunder God Mark in a short time. It seems that we still need to rely on the technology of modern society. At least from the perspective of development, satellites can still come in handy."

After groping in the flowerpot for a while, the silver-gray key gradually emerged from the soil, with copper-colored rust covering the surface.

Seto Chihiro opened the door and went in, then closed it behind her.

The sunlight was locked outside the door little by little, and the black leather shoes were thrown on the entrance by the owner, silently telling of the haste in which Hiratsuka Shizuka left.

"Strange, even if something happened at school, she wouldn't leave in such a hurry, right? Or is she just like this in private?"

Seto Chihiro rubbed her eyebrows, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.

The next second, he shook his head again, getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.

We have been together for four or five years. How come I start missing Tsunade after less than a week of separation? Besides, apart from a few cigarette butts on the table, there is no proof of what kind of person she is in her daily life, right?

Seto Chihiro suddenly remembered something.

Although the system has explained it from the item description, active exploration is also a kind of wisdom.

Seto Chihiro didn't know how the system made him appear from one world to another, but he might be able to understand the mechanism of the system after crossing through some things.

For example, his current identity...

"Even if my identity in this world is that both my parents are dead and left behind a large amount of funds, the addition of a pair of parents is still a bit worrying... Hiratsuka Shizuka happens to be away right now, so this is a good opportunity."

Chihiro Seto had no reason to give up this exploration.

Maybe I can meet Gurongi from other groups by chance, and there is no Flying Thunder God Mark in Nagano Prefecture, so this time I go there and open up a new map.

at the same time.

Shizuka Hiratsuka sat in the passenger seat of the taxi, glancing at the screen from time to time, as if waiting for some information.

This phone was originally for personal use at home. After all, work is work and life is life. However, the phone I used exclusively for work has retired, so I had to put this phone back into use.

Fortunately, it’s vacation time now and there’s not much to deal with at work.

The only thing that is hard to understand is what the owner of the house meant...

[Teacher Xiaojing, you are too serious. I was also wrong last night. I was angry at that time and said a lot of excessive words. I am sorry for this, but I hope Teacher Xiaojing can help me. Yang Nai trusts you the most. ]

"How could Yang Noi run away from home..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned back in her seat with her eyes slightly closed.

Just now, Haruno's mother suddenly contacted her and told her that Haruno was missing and asked her if she had seen the whereabouts of Yukinoshita Haruno.

And whether Yang Noi disappeared or ran away from home, she only felt a deep sense of disobedience, and never mentioned Chihiro from beginning to end.

Maybe...the effect of the illusion hasn't worn off yet?

Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed, rubbed her eyes, and adjusted her mentality.

She remembered that Chihiro indirectly admitted to using illusion to control the bodyguards, but did not use illusion to control the head of the Yukinoshita family. However, in the text message just sent, there was no mention of the illusion of the head of the Yukinoshita family.

Now that I don't know what happened, it would be absolutely foolish to rashly go to Yang No's house alone... The best way is to ignore this matter...

But what if Yang No really disappeared?

Unable to bear the pressure within the family, it seems possible that one person secretly left alone...

"..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka covered her chin and silently clicked on a gray avatar.

All she could pray for now was that Yono would send a reply message to verify the claim that the head of the Yukinoshita family was unreliable.

But the monk can run away, but the temple cannot.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had some guesses in her mind that this incident was most likely a revenge by Haruno's mother, and she was the breakthrough point...

If you look at it more positively, maybe the head of the family doesn't intend to do anything to Chihiro. The worst outcome is that she becomes a tool for the Yukinoshita family to exchange interests. After all, the fact that the police didn't block the door at the first moment shows that this matter can be negotiated.

But will things really develop in the expected order?

It is obvious that Chihiro's ability can be learned by others. Although it does not seem to be very powerful and can only control some plants and cast illusions on people, technology is developing so rapidly now that in terms of power alone, a small pistol can end a person's life.

It seems that in the face of modern technology, the superpowers we dream about day and night don’t seem to have much advantage.

"Phew—I hope it's not as bad as I think."

After getting off the taxi, Shizuka Hiratsuka let out a breath, with a hint of bitterness appearing at the corners of her mouth.

"Indeed, it seems that things are not bad enough to evolve you away."

A strange voice sounded from behind, interrupting Hiratsuka Shizuka's thoughts.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked puzzled. She turned around and saw a young man with a stern expression and wearing a black sweatshirt standing behind her.

"you are?"

"Hey, what does your confused expression mean..."

The young man's face was full of impatience, and under the gaze of Hiratsuka Shizuka, he took out a strangely shaped bamboo tube.

"This is..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have thought of something, her face became heavy, and she quickly took a few steps back.

"Wait, I..."

"Damn monster, don't you know that Yukinoshita is one of Hanakaiin's important clients!" The cold young man cracked his lips, waved his hand, and a stream of water poured out of the bamboo tube.

"Shikigami·Evil Wolf!"

Standing opposite, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt the air begin to stagnate, water gathered behind the cold young man, and a black shadow emerged.

A strange-looking wolf head appeared on the young man's shoulder, and the flowing water slowly condensed into a body, with its pupils emitting a fierce light under the refraction of the sun.

"No, I have to..."

At this time, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally reacted. She turned around and ran behind her, looking at the mobile phone screen in panic, with two fingers shaking non-stop.

Under the current circumstances, she must tell Chihiro about this matter as much as possible and let him leave Chiba County as soon as possible, preferably not to come back.

The cold-faced young man looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka as she fled, his brows furrowed, as if he was disappointed that Shizuka Hiratsuka did not turn into a monster.

"The real master didn't come in person? How boring...Evil wolf, devour!"

The dark figure flashed in the sunlight.

"Oops!"

Perhaps because the chakra was sealed in her body, Hiratsuka Shizuka's perception was enhanced to a certain extent. She subconsciously looked back and saw that the wolf's claw was very close at this moment.

"boom!"

In the sunlight, the moment the two came into contact, the black wolf turned into a stream of water and poured down. Hiratsuka Shizuka's figure and the cell phone were submerged in the water.

Chapter 24 Forced Buying and Selling

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Joint Investigation Headquarters.

"No. 9 solved the unknown life form No. 11 this time. Judging from No. 9's two consecutive appearances, it is clear that the other party not only mastered a means of movement that we cannot understand, but also has the ability to sense Gurongi."

Ichijo Xun solemnly recounted his guess, and his voice echoed in the dull conference room.

"Ichijo-kun."

Sugita Morimichi asked appropriately: "Is it possible that No. 9 happened to see the notice we sent out? We sent out evacuation notices in the surrounding area at the time, so it is not impossible that he happened to see this kind of situation."

"Could it be that Nine has superhuman hearing and can hear the sound waves emitted by Gurongi?"

Officer Sakurai followed closely behind, and the surrounding officers looked at each other and pondered the situation.

Gurongi is a creature that cannot be speculated by common sense. In contrast, No. 9 is a similar existence. All the Gurongi that appear have inherited the characteristics of animals without exception. It is not impossible that the unconfirmed life form No. has similar changes.

Thinking about it this way, the possibility seems quite high.

"Dong dong!"

As the sound of knocking on the table was heard, a group of police officers looked at Matsukura Sadao who was sitting at the end of the table, and the latter looked at Ichijo Kaoru.

"Officer Ichi, please continue to express your opinion."

Xun Ichijo nodded, walked to the big screen, inserted a USB drive, entered the password, and a series of projections appeared.

"These are pictures taken by military satellites. The circled figure in these pictures is No. 9."

The big screen on the wall shows nearly 20 pictures. The interval between each picture is less than 10 seconds, but No. 9 appears in every picture.

Even Seto Chihiro, who was floating on the ceiling, couldn't help but gasp.

Although I have never underestimated modern technology, I still feel a sense of shock when I am captured by technology, even if the pictures are not clear or even only occupy a small part.

"Tsk tsk, luckily I recovered all the kunai, and the Flying Thunder God's Seal is extremely complex. It will take a long time to decipher it."

Let alone modern society, even in the ninja world, there are less than 6 people who have mastered the Flying Thunder God Mark, including him, and three of them are working together. In modern society, let alone cracking the Flying Thunder God Mark, even sensing the Flying Thunder God Mark would be extremely difficult.

“In fact, I was also very surprised when I saw these pictures for the first time.”

Ichijo Xun nodded slightly.

"In order to find out how No. 9 moved and to kill the Gurongi that appeared this time, I applied to Minister Matsukura for permission to use the satellite long before the mission began. Near Asagaya in Suginami District, the satellite spotted No. 9 on different high-rise buildings one by one. He seemed to know the location where No. 11 appeared from the beginning.

It was basically the same time as when we received the report and went to the crime scene, with an error of less than 1 minute, and it might even be earlier than the time we set out. "

"I can actually feel the Gurongi..."

"How on earth can he sense Gurongi's presence? Is he still human?"

"Can you guarantee that your guesses are all correct?" Someone in the audience frowned.

"These are just my guesses, but I can't find any other reason to indicate that No. 9 headed for this chimney from the beginning."

Ichijo Kaoru took a deep breath and opened a folder: "After No. 9 approached Asagaya in Suginami District, the factory where No. 11 was located can be seen on the building in this picture. The chimney is near the factory, and No. 9 went straight to the chimney until he rescued Sakurai... Of course, the police have been specially assigned to detect the building where No. 9 moved, and the specific method of movement is still unknown."

"???"

Seto Chihiro looked at Ichijo Kaoru in surprise.

This police officer, who originally served as the second rider, showed extraordinary deductive ability. Even in the ninja world, he is an outstanding talent and a proper deputy.

"It seems like I should be more careful next time. It would be bad if my identity is exposed..."

As she spoke, Seto Chihiro floated towards the door.

He had already learned from the files about the identity assigned by the system, so there was not much point in staying any longer.

Surprisingly, there were no photos of the 'parents' of this world in the archives, and what was available were only life experiences and the date of their death.
