Chapter 107 Hot weather makes things smell bad
"Hey, isn't it a bit much to address a young woman like that? Where's your emotional intelligence?"
Even Temari couldn't stand it anymore.
A girl about the same age as her was called "great-grandma"—is that a term of address that a person would use?
"Isn't this to prevent her from acting on her own? The Uchiha are best at 'moving their bodies involuntarily'."
What Bai Mo was referring to was Sasuke's words when he helped Naruto block the white senbon needles, which had not yet happened.
And the two extremes of the Uchiha clan that it spawned.
When he doesn't care about you, no matter what your status is, he doesn't care about your life.
When someone cares about you, they won't care about their own life no matter what happens.
"You talk like you know so much about the Uchiha clan..."
Hearing Bai Mo's words, Guang, who was sulking, muttered something under his breath.
But then I thought about it again, and it seems I really do know quite a bit about it.
He knows more about her than she does.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Hikaru's resentment towards Bai Mo instantly shifted to himself.
She despises the Uchiha clan, who use themselves as weapons, the most. How could she have the same personality as those clansmen?
"You're right! Tell me then, what are you planning to do? I'll listen to you!"
Determined to make a change, Uchiha Hikaru changed the subject.
"I had a rough idea of what was going on here before I came, so I made some preparations. Please wait a moment, the wind was a bit strong just now and we are quite far apart."
A full half minute passed after Bai Mo finished speaking before a white Zetsu's head emerged from the ground.
"Ouch, this place is killing me!"
Bai Jue complained, looking disheveled.
—When there are no cell phones to communicate, the white Zetsu are humanoid cell phones that can be used to contact each other.
When Bai Mo went out, a White Zetsu followed him at a considerable distance.
Whenever Bai Mo needs it, he will inject natural energy into the ground so that Bai Jue will sense it and rush over.
"Go and inform Nagato to come here. Orochimaru can come too if he's interested, but he should bring two White Zetsu with him."
Bai Mo said to Bai Jue.
"Okay, is that all? I'll start the transfer now."
After confirming the information, White Zetsu began transmitting messages to White Zetsu in Amegakure.
"Who is Nagato?"
Temari was curious.
"The leader of our organization."
"Leader? You speak to your organization's leader like that?"
Temari was surprised.
"Otherwise what? Would he really say something like, 'Who's the master of Akatsuki, you or me?' because of this?"
"..."
Yeah, what else?
Temari felt like she had been silenced.
But thinking about it this way, the atmosphere on Bai Mo's side seems pretty good.
"The message has been sent; Lord Nagato and Orochimaru have already set off."
"Oh, by the way, Lord Bai Mo, there's another message here, from Konoha."
Bai Jue paused halfway through his sentence, glancing at the others beside him.
"Speak up, I've already told them Nagato's real name, why are you still bothered by this?"
Bai Mo waved his hand.
"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is dead."
After hearing Bai Mo's words, Bai Jue continued speaking.
—When Bai Mo told Orochimaru not to withdraw the spies he had left in Konoha, it wasn't actually to have those spies gather intelligence.
The best stealth character for gathering intelligence is still the White Zetsu.
Orochimaru's spy was merely a pretext to go to Konoha after the incident.
"What?!"
When Temari and Gaara heard this news, they looked at Bai Mo in surprise.
"Don't overthink it, we didn't do it. The Third Hokage is highly regarded in our organization."
One of our important goals in participating in the Chunin Exams was to ensure that Orochimaru would not kill the Third Hokage.
If we really wanted him dead, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been for nothing?
Bai Mo immediately guessed what the siblings were thinking and gave an explanation.
"So you've wasted your time? He's still dead now—by the way, the Third Hokage wasn't bad either, was he? Who killed him?"
Temari was a little curious.
"His death was meaningless before, but now it has some effect."
Besides, our organization isn't some babysitting or security organization. We can't expect to keep an eye on him the whole time to prevent him from committing suicide, can we?
"What if Hiruzen Sarutobi finds out about this and starts demanding a twilight romance or he'll commit suicide? Would we have to go to your village and kidnap Granny Chiyo to him?"
Bai Mo spread his hands.
Gaara: "..."
"I always feel that you have a strange obsession with Granny Chiyo."
Temari's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).
"That's your imagination."
Bai Mo calmly denied it, "Instead, let's talk about you. The fishnet stockings on your legs are uneven, one only covers your thigh and the other only your calf. Do you have some kind of asymmetry obsession?"
"You? This...do I look bad like this?"
Upon hearing Bai Mo comment on her outfit, Temari, who had never paid attention to this aspect before, suddenly panicked and looked down at herself.
"I think black pantyhose looks great on you, they suit you very well."
Bai Mo was referring to the outfits worn during the Boruto era.
"Really?"
Temari was taken aback. She had seen this before, but because it didn't seem very girlish, she had never tried it.
"I think it's best not to. My uncle once told me that the Land of Wind is too hot, and wearing socks that cover your feet will make you sweat and smell bad."
Gaara gave his advice very seriously.
"Shut up."
Temari gave Gaara a cold, indifferent look.
"?"
Gaara innocently typed a question mark.
Did he say anything wrong?
"Yes, and pantyhose can also protect your legs from wind and sand erosion, keeping your skin smooth."
"...Okay, I'll try it when I get back."
This really made Temari's heart flutter.
"...Gentlemen, shouldn't we discuss the matter of the Third Hokage?"
Gaara timidly interjected.
"It's alright. Hiruzen Sarutobi, in heaven, would surely want us to talk more about stockings."
"..."
"Alright, let me tell you about Hiruzen Sarutobi's cause of death, and about the Otsutsuki clan."
Bai Mo sat down on the ground, preparing to explain to the group the matter of the Otsutsuki clan and his own journey from the future back to this era.
-
Leaf.
The White Zetsu lurking in Konoha is constantly monitoring Boruto Uzumaki, a key target.
Therefore, on the very day Hiruzen Sarutobi was killed, White Zetsu immediately received the information and transmitted it to the White Zetsu Network.
It wasn't discovered on the day of the incident.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a somewhat tragic fate.
My wife died on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
My son Asma rebelled and ran away. He's back now and a little more mature, but he's not planning to move back in.
As for his grandson Konohamaru, he's pretty much the same.
Another whole day passed, and no one noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi had disappeared.
Perhaps it's because everyone has confidence in his abilities, believing that no one could kill him silently.
It wasn't until the third day, after Jiraiya had finished reporting on his surveillance of the adult Sasuke over the past two days and Jiraiya had left, that Tsunade realized she could no longer contact Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After some investigation, it was discovered that two days ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi took Konohamaru, Naruto, and Boruto to train in the woods outside the village, and they seemed to have never returned.
Although going there now would be like trying to find a lost sword by marking the boat, Tsunade still decided to go and see if there were any clues.
