"Psychic art!"

Bang!

When I was fighting the Sand Ninjas, I was in such a hurry that I only knew that after Kato Dan's soul entered its body, he fell into a coma without much time to observe.

Now that Xiaolan was summoned, a little surprise appeared in Sheren's eyes.

From the outside, apart from the increase in size by one-third, there are not many obvious changes. The biggest change is its eyes, which look very human at this time. One blue and one yellow eye are full of humanity.

mood.

Not only that, the chakra on its body can be clearly increased, and it is many times more than when it was first integrated into the two-tailed chakra.

"Toneri, Erwei, Meow——"

When Xiaolan saw Toneri and Erwei, her eyes brightened up. She opened her cat's mouth and spoke human words directly. She jumped from the experimental table to Toneri's arms, and her little head kept rubbing in his arms.

.

This obvious spiritual change...

"Xiaolan, how is Lingxiang? Is anyone bullying her?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan's expression became very proud: "Don't worry, Shiren. Sister Lingxiang is very happy every day. She asked me to say hello to you and said everything was fine with her, so you don't have to worry.

And Sister Lingxiang also practices every day, so she won’t be bullied by bad people anymore, meow——

Sister Lingxiang also told me that she would work hard to practice with me and try to help you more in the future, meow——"

Xiaolan's language has become very smooth. Except for habitually adding "meow" at the end, it is no different from other psychic beasts.

He gently rubbed its head.

"So how do you feel now? Is there anything strange about the soul in your body?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan tilted her head and opened her two big eyes and moved them around, as if she was feeling the changes in her body.

"I don't feel anything. He is so quiet and never talks to me. Although it tastes delicious and eating it may help me a lot, with him around, more energy enters my body every day, even if

Part of it was divided, and it was much more than I had before. Xiao Lan likes him very much, meow——"

"Can Xiaolan strengthen herself by absorbing souls?"

Toneri was a little surprised. He really didn't know he had such an ability. Fortunately, Xiaolan stopped his mouth in time, otherwise Kato Dan would have been completely dead.

Seeing Toneri's confused eyes, Erwei said angrily: "So many people die every year in this world, and there are too many souls that pass through the realms of Yin and Yang. What's the problem with eating a few?

In other words, eating these souls won't help me at all, so let's make a sacrifice.

I haven't eaten in countless years since I was sealed in your Jinchuriki body.

In Xiaolan's case, if there is a chance, eating a few more souls may indeed help her."

Erwei looked like you are so short-sighted and I really don’t want to explain it to you.

To put it bluntly, the soul is just an energy body filled with yin attributes, but it is mixed with a lot of memory fragments. For a tailed beast like Erwei, which is connected to yin and yang, eating a few of them has no effect.

"Xiaolan, you can't swallow your soul easily without my permission." Sheren warned.

Things like souls are too mysterious. If it is not necessary, it is better not to consume the number of souls in the entire world.

After all, a certain old man named Liu Dao is not really dead. He is still staring at the world of Naruto all the time.

"Okay, meow——"

Although Xiaolan has no difficulty in communicating now, she is not very experienced in the world and is still more like a child.

"Try it and see if there is any possibility for you two to connect?" Toneri said to Xiao Erwei on the side.

Hearing this, Little Erwei nodded and stretched out its grasp covered with soft flesh.

Xiaolan seemed to have sensed something, and she also obediently stretched out her paw.

Then, the moment the two cats' claws touched each other, a blue and black sheen began to flow on their bodies.

Seeing this scene, Toneri couldn't help but look happy.

"As expected!"

...

...

The moon hangs overhead.

Leave the cattery and close the door.

"It won't be long before the cattery opens." The cattery owner stretched.

But when he just finished lazing around, his expression couldn't help but change.

The short sword at his waist came out of his body in an instant and slashed towards the back at an extremely tricky angle. The sword was almost used with all his strength.

Clang!

A spark flew out, and a man wrapped in a black coat and wearing a white mask held a kunai in his hand and held Toneri's short sword tightly. Through the holes in the mask for the eyes, you could see the other person's eyes.

Coldness and a trace of trying to suppress surprise.

Toneri looked at the kunai in the opponent's hand with a half-smile but a notch in it.

Do you really think that you are still the helpless, malnourished child that you were when you first arrived in Konoha more than a year ago?

"Anbu...oh, it should be called root.

Although I don’t know your name or code name, you must know that you should not try to show off your useless hidden abilities and speed in the future, otherwise you won’t be able to act like this in the future.” Sheren said calmly.

.

On the way to retract the dagger, a flash of red light flashed on the blade.

When he slashed out just now, he did not pour his own chakra into it, but only pure physical strength plus sword skills.

"Konoha Genin Toner, Danzo-sama wants to see you."

Shiren's provocation was directly ignored by the other party, who just told him his mission indifferently.

Hearing this, Shiren couldn't help but frown.

Since the kidnapping of Kushina happened more than a year ago, and Hiruzen Sarutobi learned about Danzo's role in it, for more than a year, neither Danzo nor the root appeared in his life again.

before.

Presumably Sarutobi Hiruzen should have given Danzo enough warning.

After they came back today, Danzo couldn't help but send someone to find him, explaining that starting from today, Konoha Root will start taking action again.

Of course, Toneri would not believe it even if he said that Danzo had not taken any action for more than a year, but he might have been more covert and careful.

"Lead the way."

Not talking nonsense, he jumped up on the eaves and rushed towards the remote corner of Konoha.

"Danzo's ability to seize opportunities is really strong. This is absolutely nothing to say. Today Sarutobi Hiruzen just ordered Sunagakure Village to give a satisfactory answer. Konoha and Sunagakure Village have entered a state of tension again. A large number of

All the people are being dispatched to the Kingdom of Rain.

He would seize such an opportunity and jump out again. It is estimated that due to the pressure of the situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not continue to suppress him.

After all, both the strength of the roots and their intelligence capabilities are still relatively important to Konoha as a whole."

Shiren ran all the way, sighing constantly in his heart.

Immediately I seemed to think of something.

"Wait a minute, why did the 'Book of Puppet' in the hands of the Red Sand Scorpion fall into the hands of Kato Dan and the others for no reason?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the young Red Sand Scorpion accidentally lost something, but why do I always feel like there is a conspiracy?"

If Danzo hadn't appeared, Toneri wouldn't have thought this way, but as soon as this person appeared, he always felt that every place and every corner was filled with the atmosphere of conspiracy.

Konoha Naokage lives up to its name!

Soon, the two of them arrived at the root quietly.

This is a dark and cold place without any human touch.

Danzo put one hand behind his back and the other hand tightly grasped the crutch in his hand.

"Danzo-sama, bring him here."

After saying that, the person disappeared directly.

In fact, Sheren is still very optimistic about Gen's behavior.

At least they are more reliable than the Anbu in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands. They have basically no emotions and don't have much mood swings. The only thing they know is to perform tasks.

And during the mission, whether a companion is injured or killed or oneself dies, the mission is always the first goal.

This is the way a true ninja should behave.

It is precisely because of this that Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to the birth of the root organization, because they can handle many shameful things, many things that he cannot do as the third generation Hokage.

It's a pity that the person in charge at the root is Danzo who is ambitious but does not have enough sense and strength.
