Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

"I haven't shown up for a long time, but someone still remembers me..."

Gu Zang dragged his insect body, which looked broken, and slowly climbed down from the bed.

Step after step, it seemed that his claws exhausted all their strength with every move.

Slowly crawling to the center of the yard, Gu Zang sighed.

"Come out, little girl. I'm not old enough to not notice such an obvious aura."

slam-la-

A beautiful figure jumped down from a big tree in the yard of Qianshou’s old house.

Ali looked solemnly at the insect in front of her, which was less than 30 centimeters long but gave her a lot of pressure.

Sure enough, the rumors in the village were true. The most terrifying thing in Konoha was probably not the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, nor the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru who was in his prime, but this insect that looked harmless and even a little down and out.

"Explain your purpose, little girl. You are not a child of Konoha, are you?"

Gu Zang seemed to ignore Ali's movements and expressions, and just lay lazily on the stone steps basking in the sun.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kozo, I came to Konoha to actually...actually I was looking for someone."

"Looking for someone, hehehe..."

Gu Zang smiled faintly.

"Do you really think I'm so old that my brain is no longer working? If you want to find someone, you should come to me. Little girl, are you a ninja?"

"......Yes."

"Well, go find Konoha's Anbu yourself. Until you have thoroughly investigated, it's best if you keep the intention of finding someone... ah, right."

Gu Zang seemed to suddenly remember something.

"I remember there was an old man in Suoqian Village who was quite smart. Is he still alive?"

"!!!"

Ali thought of his grandfather almost immediately. The one Gu Zang was talking about was definitely his grandfather!

However, Gu Zang never left the main gate or the second gate, so how did he know about the things in Suoqian Village? Also, although his grandfather was the elder of Suoqian Village, he almost never showed up in public, so how did Gu Zang know?

Ali was shocked. She felt that she had underestimated this living fossil of Konoha.

The reason why he is called Konoha's living fossil is probably not only because this bug's strength is immeasurable, but also because his knowledge far exceeds that of other ninjas!

"Looks like he's still alive, right? Hehehe, that old guy has a good brain. He can probably make a good ingredient for me."

Creepy!

Ali immediately realized that the insect Gu Zang was a man-eating one!

"Don't be afraid."

Gu Zang was not very interested in teasing the little girl, he just wanted to scare her. After all, he had to collect some tax for helping Kakashi so much, right?

"Although you are young and tender-skinned, your abilities are too inadequate for me to appreciate... Also, don't look at me with that mark in your eye; it's useless to me."

"..."

Ali was completely speechless.

Well, she was completely seen through. She had no chance at all. She even felt that if Gu Zang told her to die the next moment, she would die right here.

This is really scary.

"Then I..."

"Go ahead, don't waste your time here with me. I'm not interested in your brain."

Ali sneaked in with great interest, wanting to see Mr. Konoha's most terrifying legend, Mr. Kozo, and this time he finally got to see it.

He walked out of the Senju old house in frustration, and was met by two Anbu.

"Miss, please come with us. The Konoha Anbu are waiting for your visit."

Shiranui Genma chuckled.

The Fourth Hokage promised him that after he completed his latest mission, he would promote him to Special Jonin and release him from the Anbu.

On the other side was one of his good brothers, Diyisiwa.

Ali shrugged his shoulders and didn't intend to resist. He let the two men handcuff him, put on a chakra seal, and take him away.

......

"Finally back! Ah, Konoha is still the best~"

As soon as Class 7 and Class 11 entered the village, they immediately looked for a place to have a good meal.

The task of submitting the information about the Wave Country mission was left to Hongdou, because she didn't want to eat char siu ramen with the others, but wanted to go to the meatball shop to purchase supplies.

So we parted ways before entering the village.

"Then let's go to Ichiraku Ramen first!"

Naruto chuckled, folded his arms behind his head, and looked very relaxed.

"Is that... the Anbu holding a prisoner?"

Yota suddenly spoke up, raising his head towards the street ahead.

I saw Shiranui Genma and Dieishiwa escorting Ali.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

That teardrop mole under the right eye... was so familiar that he even recalled it in the Land of Waves.

Is that Ali...?

Coincidentally, Ali also raised his head and looked towards the direction of the voice.

Kakashi returned to normal the moment he made eye contact with him. As a ninja, his high level of cultivation had long made him develop this habit and he remained calm in the face of any emergency.

Ali seemed to take a second look at Kakashi, but when he turned around, he was led around the corner by Shiranui and Genma and disappeared around the corner.

"Hey? Kakashi-sensei, what are you daydreaming about?"

Of course, Yota knew what was going on, and he poked Kakashi's waist with his finger.

Kakashi wasn't actually in a daze, but when Yota said he was, others would think that Kakashi was in a daze.

"Well, that person just now looked like an old friend."

Kakashi shook his head.

"But it might not be her. Let's order first. Two servings of tonkotsu ramen! I want a large bowl. Sasuke, I remember you prefer tomato ramen. And Yota, what flavor do you like..."

......

ANBU.

Yamanaka Inoichi, who had been tricked into revealing Konoha's intelligence, was completely unaware of this and instead was puzzled as he had not found any information about spies from this woman's mind.

This woman named Karin seemed to be just a singer who came to Konoha to seek development.

And the singing is pretty good...

"but......"

Yamanaka Inoichi said to Jiraiya who was standing beside him.

"But it's not a problem. It actually illustrates the problem. A singing girl probably wouldn't go to Senju's house. Xuanjian and the others found this guy at Mr. Kozo's place."

Jiraiya frowned, looking a little helpless.

"But her memory is fine, which means this woman was probably used as a pawn. There must be some other clues we can find, right?"

Shan Zhonghai nodded.

Anyone who has not committed any obvious acts of persecuting Konoha will not be sent to the torture department casually, even if she is a ninja. This is the rule set by Orochimaru. He is strict on the outside but lenient on the inside. This is the fourth generation that everyone admires.

It was not until Yamanaka Haiyi had explored Ali's memory for the second time that his expression became a little strange.

"what happened?"

Jiraiya came up and asked.

Shan Zhonghai opened his mouth and sighed.

"See for yourself..."

.......
