[with card] Hirasaka Strange Story

At the end of the year in Heianjing, demons are rampant.

"You can't be wrong, it's the Flying Man."

The female corpse lying on the ground had all the blood drained from her body, her eyes were wide open, and her withered face was fixed on a frightened and distorted expression.It was obviously an extremely terrifying scene, but the blond onmyoji squatting aside was completely indifferent, and even picked up the sleeve of the female corpse with two fingers and shook it.Then he let the female corpse's arm fall back to the ground, and said in a firm tone.

"This is the ninth incident since last month." The head of the police in charge of this area stood behind him with his hands clasped, and said with a sad face, "Can't you think of a way? Let that adult come..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to trouble the teacher with this kind of thing," Naruto Uzumaki stood up, showing a bright and confident smile. "We can do it too!"

The police officer sized up the boy's still somewhat childish face, and said nothing, but his expression was clearly distrustful.Naruto saw what he was thinking, and shouted in dissatisfaction: "What's the matter! Isn't it the only time when the teacher became a yin and yang head? He was only a little older than me, but at that time he was already a well-known yin and yang head in the whole of Kyoto." Master!"

The messenger heard the words, but he didn't take it seriously: "It's not because he gave Minato to..." From the corner of his eyes, Naruto's face suddenly changed, and the second half of the muttered sentence was immediately cut off in his throat by him, and he quickly apologized: "The villain has to go to other places to patrol, take your time, take your time!" After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Naruto watched him go, with a little anger in his blue eyes.Until Sai's voice came from behind him: "Did you find anything?"

"It's not a big gain, except knowing that she was killed by the Flying Man, there's nothing else." Naruto turned around and shook his head. "And you?"

"I did inquire about something valuable." Sai flipped through his records, "According to the neighbors, this woman's name is Aman. She came to Kyoto four years ago. Her native place is unknown. She is in her late thirties and lives alone. The neighbor on the left You She doesn't like to associate with her, saying that she is crazy, and she always utters words that no one can understand. Sometimes at night, she can be heard talking to someone, but there is only one shadow reflected by the light. Moreover, " He paused, then reached for the paper and pencil pouch at his waist, "I also exchanged three pennies for this from a child—he said it was outside her house on the night Aman died. Found it on the street."

What he held in his hand was a bamboo tube that was about a dozen long. The surface had turned from green to yellow, and one end was split, and the gap extended to the middle of the bamboo tube.This thing looks ordinary, but when Naruto saw it, he showed a suddenly realized expression: "Could it be..."

"Let the Nine Lamas know after hearing it." Said Sai.

As soon as his words fell, Naruto's sleeves suddenly wriggled by themselves.A small orange fur ball came out of the cuff, clawed at Naruto's clothes with its paws, climbed up to Naruto's shoulders and sat down, its nine big tails were wagging curiously.

Sai threw the bamboo pipe over, Naruto caught it, and leaned in front of his shikigami.Jiu Lama stretched his neck and sniffed, then whined twice.

"Sure enough, there used to be Guanhu here," Naruto said, looking at the dead body at his feet. "This woman was an envoy before she was alive. But it's strange... It seems that the bamboo tube is old, and the Guanhu inside should be alive. Her strength is not low, and she can fight against Flying Man. Why did she die so easily?" Looking up, Saii was pondering, and asked again, "Did you think of anything?"

"I have a bad association." Sai said, "Do you still remember that in the suburbs outside Rashomon at the beginning of last month—"

Before he could finish his words, the nine-tailed fox who was sitting obediently on Naruto's shoulder just now jumped off the blond boy's shoulder and ran forward along the street without looking back.

"Kurama!" Naruto yelled, but Shikigami didn't respond to him.

"Chasing!" The two young onmyoji looked at each other and said in unison.

--------

Aman's residence is in the east of Kyoto, already past the Kamo River.This is a place where the poor live, and the more you go to the periphery, the more desolate it is, showing a dilapidated scene that is completely different from the bustling Kyoto.Naruto and Saii chased the Kurama and ran all the way until there was no one on both sides, and finally stopped in front of a deserted courtyard where weeds regenerated.The Kurama stood at the gate of the courtyard and turned back to them, calling out twice, suddenly turned into a stream of light, and got back into Naruto's sleeve in a flash.

"What a strong resentment!" Before he could catch his breath, Naruto covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and looked at the yard in front of him in surprise. "What happened here?"

"Looks like I guessed it." Sai said solemnly.

"Eh?"

"The report at the beginning of last month." Sai looked at him, "In the suburbs outside Rashomon, a family of five were killed overnight. Because there was no evil spirit at the scene, it was treated as an ordinary murder. .It’s just that because one incident was too weird, a copy of the file was copied afterwards and sent to Yinyang Liao.”

"You're the only one who likes to read boring things like dossiers. Don't be a fool, what the hell is it?"

"It's the location of the corpse. There are five members of the family, grandparents, parents and daughter. The corpses are overlapped and placed in the shape of an inverse pentagram."

Naruto was startled.

"There is no residual demonic aura at the scene. In this case, there are two possibilities." Sai continued, holding up two fingers, "First, the murderer is not a monster; second, the monster is so powerful that it is completely unnecessary Leave no trace."

The two looked at each other and stood there quietly for a while.Then Naruto broke the silence. "Anyway, since the Nine Lamas brought us here, we have to go in and take a look." He clapped his hands resolutely, and made a final decision, "Let's go!" Without waiting for Sai's answer, he pushed open the old courtyard door, He rushed in.

"Wait, at least call some more people... Sigh!" Sai shook his head helplessly, and then followed.

Passing through the half-person tall grass in the atrium, the two entered the house.Sure enough, this place has been abandoned for a long time, the room is very empty, and the few pieces of dilapidated furniture left are covered with a thick layer of dust.Although it was a bit messy, it was still in line with the scene after the move, and there was nothing unusual about it other than that.

"The smell of resentment is getting stronger and stronger, and the source should be near here." Naruto said, and the nine lamas who climbed onto his shoulders wrinkled their noses at some point.He took out a piece of talisman paper, folded out a paper crane in twos and threes, and threw it upwards. "Fly! Guide us!"

As soon as the paper crane left his hand, it immediately came to life, flapping its wings twice in the air.It flew slowly around the entire room, then landed on the tatami mat at the feet of the two teenagers, and tapped the ground three times with its beak.Just after the third click, a blue flame automatically ignited on its body, which quickly turned into a pinch of ashes.

"Let me do it." The two looked at each other and nodded, Sai said.He took two and a half steps back and knelt down, took out a blank scroll and spread it out on the ground, and quickly drew a huge Bibi with blue face and fangs on it with a brush.Finally, with a touch on the monster's eyes, the black-haired onmyoji yelled, "Super beast fake painting, come out!"

Following his command, Bibi in ink came out of the painting and stepped on the ground with a bang, shaking off countless smoke and dust.It weighed the heavy mace in its hand, raised it above its head, and slammed it down hard.

boom--! !

There was a loud bang, and the whole house shook.The straw shattered, the masonry collapsed, and a hole big enough for people to get in was opened in the ground. The smell of blood mixed with the smell of corpses rose into the sky, making people sick.As soon as Bibi disappeared, Naruto jumped into the hole impatiently.

"Naruto!" Sai shouted, jumping off after him.

When he landed, there was the sound of water under his feet, and he knew what the liquid was without bowing his head.The ground was pitch black, only the Nine Lamas were shining like a lantern, and their nine tails were swaying like flames; with the help of this light, Sai could see the surrounding scene clearly, and couldn't help taking a step back in horror: "This is..."

corpse.Fifteen corpses of different genders and ages are placed on the ground in the shape of three inverted pentagrams, and they seem to have been dead for a long time.These inverse pentagrams form an equilateral triangle, with a skull-shaped vessel in the middle.Suppressing the discomfort, Sai carefully leaned over to take a closer look, and found that there was some off-white powder inside, and he didn't know what it was.

"This is a terrible situation," he murmured, "We must report these things to the teacher quickly... Naruto?"

His companion did not answer.Sai turned his head quickly, and had pinched three talismans in his hands; Naruto was still there, standing motionless, as if his eyes were firmly held by something.

"What's wrong?" Sai walked over.

Naruto silently raised his arm, pointing to the front right.Sai looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw that on the wall over there, someone didn't know who had painted a huge round fan pattern with blood.

Yin Yang Liao.

When the news came, Hatake Kakashi was playing chess with Nara Shikahisa, and the situation was stalemate.

The water in the yard fell with a thud, and at this moment, the silver-haired onmyoji also knocked a chess piece on the shogi board.Lu Jiu said "Oh?", showing an expression of great interest, stroking the beard on his chin and lost in thought.

The tea tray was placed aside, and the aroma of tea mixed with the smell of the incense in the corner permeated the room.From the other corner of the room came the elegant sound of silk and bamboo music, only the sound was heard, but the figure of the player could not be seen.No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a relaxing and peaceful afternoon, suitable for drinking tea and playing games with friends, until——

Matabata, who was sleeping soundly in a ball next to Kakashi, suddenly raised his head alertly.It quickly stood up, hunched over, and hissed menacingly at the paper door.Almost at the same time, with a sound of "flutter", a bird made of ink broke through the paper door and rushed straight into the house, circling anxiously above the two of them, as if looking for a place to stay.

This behavior is very rude, especially in the presence of distinguished guests-unless there is an emergency situation.Kakashi's expression didn't change; he just said "Excuse me" flatly, picked up the bat fan on hand and unfolded it, and turned his wrist to the blank back.The little bird immediately swooped down and landed on the fan with a slap, the ink splashed and turned into words in an instant. There were only three short words in total: living sacrifice, spirit gathering array, and——

Uchiha.
