"I've found you!"
"Hey kid, please don't disturb my business." The Spiral White Zetsu, disguised as a human, looked at the three children in front of him.
Of course, he wasn't concerned about the red-haired kid or the blue-haired little girl next to him.
Or rather.
It wasn't the time to be concerned about the Rinnegan.
What was more important now was the kid with orange hair staring at him with burning eyes.
As if saying...
[There is only one truth!]
Was he discovered?
He had been so careful!
He had specifically hidden it from Madara-sama and snuck out to see this human festival.
You have to understand, he had only been born a few years ago and had been taking care of Madara-sama. Unlike other White Zetsu, he rarely came out.
So, he planned to take a good look at the human festival and see how it differed from the descriptions in the spores sent back by other White Zetsu.
And then he found out...
It was quite lively!
There were many people!
There were many things!
But he had no money!
Even if he wanted to buy something, he had no money~
Therefore, after thinking about it... to avoid being exposed, and since he couldn't steal, he could only earn money by his own abilities.
By drawing!
And then.
Was he discovered?
The Spiral White Zetsu picked up his precious drawing board, ready to flee immediately if the situation turned bad.
Then.
He looked up at the three kids with a slightly wronged expression, "I'm just an artist!"
However.
"Don't try to fool me!" Yahiko sneered, pointing at the nearby painting, "These soft lines, this terrible color palette!"
He paused slightly.
"I can tell at a glance that you're the Ghost Student Who Draws Poop!"
As he spoke.
"..."
Silence fell over the scene.
Yahiko's sudden shout drew the curious gazes of the surrounding people.
Nagato and Konan exchanged glances, then took a step back expressionlessly.
This was too embarrassing!
Yahiko!
At this moment.
The Spiral White Zetsu was also stunned.
As expected.
He was discovered... Wait, no, what was that name?
Ghost Student Who Draws Poop?
It was… not bad?
"Hmph, hmph! Just as I thought, you can't hide from me, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization—Boss Yahiko, and…."
Yahiko put his hands on his hips, about to say something proudly, when he looked beside him.
"Huh? Where are Nagato and Konan? Nagato! Konan! Nagato…"
Seeing Nagato shrinking back and trying to run, he impatiently pulled him over, "What are you doing? Look! I finally found him!"
Then he looked up at the black-haired young stall owner in front of him, raising his chin and saying, "This is my Akatsuki Organization's second-in-command! The academy's top student! The first-term valedictorian! Uzumaki Nagato!"
"..."
Nagato was silent, his eyelids twitching.
His toes immediately dug into the floor as he looked at the people staring at him.
Mom, I want to go home… No, I want to go back to the Land of Rain.
"I didn't! I don't have it! He's lying!"
Across from him, the Spiral White Zetsu blinked.
It seems I wasn't discovered… No, was I discovered but not completely?
What should I do now?
After a moment's thought, the Spiral White Zetsu braced itself and said, "You, you… How can you insult someone's innocence without any reason?"
"Still trying to deny it? I'll let you see how powerful our Akatsuki Organization is!"
Yahiko immediately snorted coldly, about to show this guy the power of the Akatsuki Organization's leader.
"No! Maybe he's just an imitator!" Nagato, who just wanted to run away quickly, could only say, "After all, the Ghost Student Who Draws Poop caused such a big stir, everyone knows about it. And if he were an ordinary person, do you think the teachers at the school wouldn't have caught him sneaking in?"
"Huh, that's true! But…" Yahiko shook his head, staring intently at the Spiral White Zetsu, "My intuition tells me… my guess is right! Even if this guy isn't the Ghost Student Who Draws Poop, he's definitely related to him." He rolled up his sleeves, "Let me first…"
Before he could finish speaking.
Nagato seemed to notice something and quickly pointed ahead, shouting, "Huh? Yahiko, isn't that your dad? What's he doing sneakily? Let's go take a look!"
Saying that, he directly pulled Yahiko and ran outside. Yahiko, hearing about his dad… became curious, and therefore, didn't resist.
After the two of them ran off, only the… silent Spiral White Zetsu remained.
"Am I… okay now?"
Blinking, it looked at the two kids who had already left, then looked at the person in front of it and sighed inwardly.
Forget it, I should pack up.
After staying for so long, it only made one sale… The voice of that kid just now almost exposed me too.
Gotta go, gotta go.
It was just that going back would probably mean getting scolded by Lord Madara.
After all, it had snuck out.
Without telling Lord Madara.
At this moment.
"Dango! Dango! Dango! Sweet dango! Try before you buy, buy if it's good!"
Hearing the voice of the stall owner not far away, the Spiral White Zetsu was slightly stunned, then weighed the ten coins in its hand. "How about… I bring Lord Madara some dango?"
Thinking of this.
Its eyes immediately lit up, and with a smile on its face, it skipped towards the stall. "Boss, one skewer of dango!"
Hmph, if I bring Lord Madara a souvenir, Lord Madara probably won't be angry anymore!
On the other side.
Yahiko, who had been pulled away by Nagato, also saw his father.
However.
His father didn't have his usual smiling expression. Instead, he looked shifty, tightly wrapped in a wide, thick coat, as if he was hiding something in his arms, looking around left and right.
What is Dad doing?
Sensing something was wrong, the two kids exchanged a look.
Then.
They quickly crouched down, didn't call out to Mujitsu, but hid and secretly followed him.
As for Konan… she had turned into a pile of paper and flown away earlier, and no one knew where she had gone now.
The two kids followed from a distance… If it weren't for Nagato's strong senses, which kept them close behind, they would have either lost him or been discovered by now.
However.
"What is Father Mujitsu doing here?" Yahiko frowned, looking at the hidden alleyway with a solemn expression. "Sneaking around… Could he be going to a place for adults! But it's not here!"
As he spoke.
"???"
Nagato looked at Yahiko, completely bewildered.
How do you know it's not here?
But this is not the time to worry about that!
This is not that kind of place, and Lord Mujitsu is acting suspiciously, holding something in his arms, and sneaking into a hidden alleyway when everyone is…?!
The two seemed to have guessed something.
Selling intelligence from the Land of Grass?!
"No! Father isn't that kind of person!" Yahiko's eyes immediately turned red. Shaking his head, he glared at Nagato, "He deeply respected Teacher Amang! Teacher Amang also valued him highly, how could Father do something like this!"
"I know, maybe we just guessed wrong!" Seeing Yahiko's anger, Nagato quickly comforted him, "We should hurry and call the police, or... find a teacher!"
However.
"No! Father isn't that kind of person!" Yahiko stood up directly and shouted, "Absolutely not! I'll prove it to you! If... if it's true, I'll arrest him myself!"
Saying that.
He turned and ran inside.
"Yahiko!"
Ignoring Nagato, who was anxiously calling after him.
Seeing this, Nagato finally gritted his teeth and followed.
Meanwhile.
In the alley.
"You've arrived?"
"I have!"
"The thing I want?"
"And what about what I want?" Mujie looked seriously at the white-haired spiky-haired youth in front of him, "Let me see first, you know this is signed..."
However.
Before he could finish speaking.
Just as the white-haired spiky-haired youth hesitated and was about to take something out from his chest.
"Father Mujitsu!"
A roar came from the alley entrance.
Mujie was stunned, then seemed to guess who it was, his expression changed, "There's an inside informant, abort the transaction!"
"???"
Just two brats, why are you so scared?
We aren't doing anything bad!
Before the other person could react...
Mujie walked out directly. Upon seeing the two brats in front of him, his face was filled with complexity, "Why are you here?"
"Father..." Yahiko looked at Father Wu Wei, whose expression had suddenly changed, and understood what he was doing that was unsavory.
Especially the one next to him... he and Nagato knew him, they had met him in the Land of Rain.
A Konoha ninja!
He immediately roared, "How could you do such a thing?!"
After speaking.
Wu Wei blinked. Looking at the two brats, one glaring at him and the other watching him vigilantly, he was silent for a moment, then sighed, "You found out?"
"Father..." Having received Father Wu Wei's admission, Yahiko was despairing, but he looked at Father Wu Wei with a sliver of hope, pleading, "Come with me to see the leader, Nagato and I will beg the leader for forgiveness!"
"See the leader? What leader?"
Is a thousand times not enough?
Wu Wei's mouth twitched, but this expression in the eyes of the two children was a refusal. He said helplessly, "Forget it! To avoid being discovered and causing me to have to again... you two should just go to sleep! After you wake up, you probably won't remember!"
Saying that.
Just as he was about to reach out to the two children.
Suddenly.
"Don't move! You are surrounded!"
A shout came from all around the alley.
Wu Wei and Jiraiya were stunned. They looked up and saw ninjas standing or squatting around them, their scarlet eyes fixed on them.
Jiraiya: You sold me out? No, what is this?
Wu Wei's eyes were confused: I don't know either!
"Someone reported you for treason, Lord Wu Wei, please do not move!"
"Treason?!" x2
The two were stunned again, then glanced at each other.
Selling books is illegal?
Mujie scratched his head and stepped forward, saying, "There must be some misunderstanding, I was just..."
His words were cut short.
"Don't move!"
Mujitsu was pinned down!
"The evidence is conclusive! Lord Mujitsu." Oyakamon emerged, winking at Nagato and Konan, looking at Mujitsu with a complex expression and sighing. "I never expected you to do something like this. I've already sent word to the leader, and now..." He glanced at Jiraiya, who was still bewildered. "Hand over your belongings..."
His words were cut short.
As if due to the excessive movement, something fell from Mujitsu's arms.
Everyone looked.
A book.
With a colorful cover.
"Hiss~"
Countless people at the scene gasped and quickly covered the children's eyes.
"Lord Mujitsu, you..."
"I just came to exchange a book!" Mujitsu said, tears streaming down his face. "How did that become treason?"
"..."
