Delta Sets Out Again!
Upon first hearing the report from the Anbu, both Shinki and Shikamaru were somewhat bewildered.
Half a second later, Shikamaru, realizing what had happened, asked in shock, "How could you commit suicide when your hands and feet were cuffed in Prison?"
The Anbu shook his head. "It's said that some kind of Scroll of Seals was used."
Shikamaru continued, "But they were all searched before they went in... how could they still be carrying Scrolls...?"
Shinki put his hand on Shikamaru's shoulder. "Don't rush, let's go take a look ourselves."
In the Konoha Ninja Prison, Shinki stared speechlessly at the two headless corpses on the ground.
Death by head explosion—do people in the Kara have to die in such a bizarre way? Couldn't they have chosen a different way to die?
Then, Shinki looked at the Prison staff member next to him and asked, "Didn't they say they committed suicide using some kind of Scroll of Seals? Where is the Scroll?"
Upon hearing this, the staff member respectfully handed over two Scrolls that were half-burned. "These are the scrolls that the prison guards found next to the bodies of the two people after they were discovered dead... The person who made the Scrolls probably didn't want the adults to discover this secret, so they embedded Fire Style in the Scrolls. They would spontaneously combust and destroy themselves after use, but luckily we put them out in time."
Shikamaru: "Have you found out who provided this Scroll to them?"
The staff member, embarrassed, said, "We detected stomach acid on the surface of this Scroll, leading us to suspect they hid Scroll in their stomach and smuggled it into Prison... It was also a dereliction of duty on our part. (≖╻≖;)"
Shinki waved his hand. "Alright, everyone's gone. Be more careful next time..."
After speaking, Shinki carefully examined the Scroll in his hand.
The Fire Style destroyed most of the Scroll's contents, but as a Scroll master, Shinki still roughly guessed its purpose. "This is a technique that Sacrifices a soul to Ghosts. Unlike the Reaper Death Seal, this technique is purely for suicide and has no offensive effect on others..."
Shikamaru frowned. "What a waste of time. I don't know what those Kara people were thinking. ┐(´-`)┌"
Shinki grinned. "It wasn't a complete waste of their lives. At least they preserved the secrets of the rest of the organization... and in the Shinobi World, dying cleanly is extremely difficult."
"I'll go back and try to restore the Curse Mark on this Scroll, and then deduce the Ghosts that devours these souls... Once that's done, the shell will be easy to find. (▿)"
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps sensing the kindness of Nonō and Kabuto, Shūichi's life in Konoha became more and more relaxed and comfortable.
Sometimes, I'm willing to answer a question or two from them.
At that moment, the two principals were sitting with a group of children at the kindergarten gate, basking in the warm sunshine.
A group of innocent faces greeted the sun, brimming with youthful vigor.
Being in this environment, Shūichi before, something he had never experienced before in the shell!
At this moment, a thought even crossed his mind: even if all of this was a disguise by Konoha, and even if Konoha wanted to use him for human experiments, he would accept it! At least he had experienced such a pleasant and wonderful life!
"Ask me anything you need to know," the boy said suddenly, sunlight streaming down his face.
"What was your original name?" Shūichi, who was sitting next to Chu Yi, asked curiously.
Shūichi: "Don't ask any other questions."
"So what do you think of this Orphanage? Is there anything that needs improvement?" Nonō asked.
Shūichi smiled and said, "This place... is great! ❛‿˂̵✧"
Nonō breathed a sigh of relief, "That's for the best. I thought you didn't like it here."
Now it was the Shūichi's turn to be stunned. "Don't you have any other more important questions to ask? Or aren't you going to give me a brainwashing session about loyalty to Konoha?"
Upon hearing this, Nonō and Kabuto thought that the young man had lost his mind.
"Why are you thinking about these things? →_→"
"That's right, now is the time for you to study hard. We'll send you to the Ninja Academy in a couple of days!"
"Young man, you can become an excellent medical professional like the Sixth Hokage in the future..."
Listening to Nonō and Gou chatting about everyday things, the boy looked down at the 'wedge' Curse Mark on his palm.
Jigen said that he was a useless person and only a 'wedge' could fill his life.
But in retrospect, Jigen was completely wrong.
The next morning.
Shinki got up very early, bought some soy milk and steamed buns on the way, and got ready to go to his early shift.
"It's a pity there's no jianbing guozi in this world... A jianbing guozi with two eggs, one bite and I can glimpse the truth of the world..."
Shinki chewed on a steamed bun and muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him!
Is it possible to bring the snacks from my previous life's world to this world?
Stinky tofu, grilled skewers, fried chicken strips, snail rice noodles...
Just thinking about this made Shinki's mouth water!
"I'll have time to acquire a food factory someday! Then I can produce snacks however I want! ୧⍢⃝୨"
As Shinki was envisioning his happy future, a boy dressed in black blocked Shinki way!
"Aren't you that brat from the Kara? What are you doing here?" Shinki looked down at the serious-looking boy and asked curiously.
"I want to remove the 'wedge' from my arm," the boy said firmly, showing the wedge Curse Mark on his left palm.
"A 'wedge' is a treasure to others, but to me it's a curse."
Shinki nodded. What the boy said was true, because Shinki had seen all of his memories, and he even knew how the guy planned to remove the wedge.
"So you want to gradually unleash the power of the 'wedge' first, and then study how to remove it?" Saike asked.
The boy nodded. "That's right, know yourself and know your enemy... But I still need your help. You also have a wedge on you. When two wedges meet, they will resonate, which will allow me to release the wedge more quickly."
Shinki: "Is that so?"
The boy nodded. "I noticed it the first time we met, but you placed too many seals on 'Wedge,' so even if it reacted, you wouldn't be able to sense it."
Shinki suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Then I'll seal all the seals on you, so you won't have to slowly release the 'Wedge'."
Shūichi: "But the seal is only temporary. What I want to do is make the wedge disappear from my world forever."
Shinki nodded. "Alright, since you insist, I'll create a Shadow Clone to spar with you."
Suburbs.
In the Shūichi high, he was beaten black and blue by a series of punches from the Shadow Clone the Shinki, and lay on the ground crying loudly.
"This is too cruel! Even when Jigen practiced with me, it wasn't this violent! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
On the mountain outside Konoha.
Kashin Koji and Delta stood side by side.
Delta scoffed, "I really don't know what Jigen was thinking, actually letting a good-for-nothing like you come out with me."
Kashin Koji: "If I hadn't saved you last time, you would have been smashed into a meat patty by the Shinki..."
Delta was very confident in his abilities. "You're talking nonsense! If you hadn't pulled me back last time, I would have already brought the 'weapon' back to the organization!"
Kashin Koji thought the woman was terribly stupid and couldn't be bothered to say anything more!
