Chapter 207: Boil the Eagle

Before Luo Yi could react, Lao Zi started to get embarrassed. He didn't expect that Sun Wukong would be so outspoken and speak so bluntly to the righteous men who came to his aid.

"Uh...well, the stinky monkey has just that bad temper. After getting along with it for a while, you'll find that it's actually a pretty good person." In short, he quickly took back control of his body and explained.

"It doesn't matter. My personality is indeed not that likable." After a moment of surprise, Luo Yi quickly felt relieved.

If you think about it carefully, Sun Wukong was a bohemian and freedom-loving person, who acted upright and responsible throughout his life. He was somewhat incompatible with a cunning guy like him, although...

"How can you talk like that? It's fine if you don't thank me, little brother, but at your age you don't even have basic manners." Lao Zi muttered to him.

"I didn't ask them for help." Sun Wukong spoke through Lao Zi's mouth, with a sense of humor like a stand-up comedy, "Just two rebellious ninjas, don't take them seriously at all. Back then, I, Sun... huh?"

"Hmm?" Such a familiar line.

Is the second half of the sentence "When the havoc occurred in Heaven"?

But unfortunately, Sun Wukong's words were stuck, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

It is natural to want to talk about my past achievements (mistakes), but when the words come to my lips, I realize that I have never done them. How come I feel so familiar with them as if they were engraved in my bones?

Luo Yi, Hua Huo and Lao Zi were all a little puzzled; especially the latter, who felt that today's Sun Wukong seemed different from what he had remembered, less heroic and more mean.

It probably has nothing to do with the fact that I just called it “stinky monkey”.

"Hmph! Anyway, I don't need any help. Old Zi is enough for me." Sun Wukong was very tough and really didn't take the enemy seriously.

The monster that fell before it back then...wait, what are these strange fragments of memory?

...

Fortunately, Sun Wukong did not object to Luo Yi and Hua Huo's going together in the end, and only asked them not to interfere in the next battle.

Isn’t it the exact opposite of the original monkey who loves to ask for help?

That night, we camped in a cave somewhere in the Land of Earth.

"I didn't expect that after being in the ninja world for so long, the first tailed beast I communicated with was Monkey King, and Monkey King doesn't like me." Luo Yi didn't think that his regret was a lie, although it seemed reasonable.

"Luo Yi, are you unhappy?" Hua Huo sat back to back with her head tilted back, resting on his neck.

"I can still accept it... Come to think of it, I haven't told you a lot about my family, right?" Perhaps it was because he saw the name that most resembled his hometown that Luo Yi opened up today.

"Well, Luo Yi has always been reluctant to talk about it." The little girl never forced him.

"It's just a matter of worrying about nothing." Luo Yi laughed at himself, "My family of origin can't be said to be bad. Many of my family members, young and old, and my relatives are in the system, um... equivalent to officials here."

"Like father? Or like Hokage-sama?" Hanabi didn't quite understand the concept of "official".

"He is more like a Hokage than my father-in-law, but there are some differences. For example, his work is more specialized, but the area he is in charge of is larger... The area of ​​a county is at least the size of five Konoha villages." Luo Yi made a rough calculation.

"So impressive... Is he stronger than Hokage?" To be able to manage such a large area, he must be very fast.

"How is that possible? Of course not." Luo Yi pinched the little girl's drooping hair, "I said it at the beginning, the ninjas over there are much weaker than those over here, even the concepts are different."

There are still many differences between "Shinobi" and "Ninjia".

"I remember now." Memories from three years ago.

"That's not the point." Luo Yi smiled bitterly and touched her head. "Because of my family background, I have been exposed to high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen and tycoons since I was a child. I have learned a lot of bad things from them."

The dirty dealings between business and politics lasted almost throughout his childhood and student years.

"I... don't think Luo Yi is bad, Luo Yi is very good." The little girl turned around and hugged him gently from behind.

"Thank you, Hanabi."

After all, the little girl was born in the largest family in Konoha, and she had many similar experiences. It was reasonable for her to be "adaptable" to Luo Yi.

After a short silence, Hanabi suddenly asked, "Why do I feel that Son Goku is weird? Are all the tailed beasts like this? Although we are familiar with brother Naruto, we have never communicated with the Nine-Tails."

"Well... there is indeed a problem. Maybe... it's my problem." Luo Yi pinched his chin and thought.

Regardless of whether the Four-Tailed Son Goku in the original work would call himself "I, Old Sun", the fact that he paused twice in his speech was enough to prove that he was being disturbed, and the only source of the disturbance was...

It can only be Luo Yi.

"Why exactly... should we call the cat over to ask? Never mind, it's possible that it's watching this place, and Orochimaru's reincarnation is just around the corner, so maybe Nijirusa needs it."

"During the creation process, the missing data of this world will be supplemented automatically according to your memory and rationality."

It suddenly occurred to him that someone seemed to have said something of a similar meaning, but he couldn't remember who said it or when.

It seems to make sense all of a sudden?

On the other side of the cave, was Lao Zi sitting cross-legged in meditation. Although I didn't mean to eavesdrop, the boy and girl's occasional whispers made their way into my ears.

He couldn't help but come to the Jinchūriki's mind space and chat with Sun Wukong, "Listen, everyone calls you "Monkey Brother" in a nice voice, but you are still so ruthless and unreasonable."

When I was reviewing the battle during the day just now, the conclusion I came to was quite shocking: if these two children hadn’t suddenly intervened, the loss would have been huge.

"Humph!" Sun Wukong sneered, "Don't you realize that this kid is very cunning despite his young age? In time, he might be even more powerful than Ōnoki."

Lao Zi was silent for a while. Strictly speaking, there was indeed some conflict between him, it, and the Third Tsuchikage in his early years.

However, "One thing is for sure. We have received their help, so we should at least express our sincere gratitude. Moreover, monks should refrain from anger and hatred. You, monkey, have not changed your stubborn nature."

"Master, please stop talking. I am also annoyed." The Monkey King in the spiritual consciousness turned over and pointed his butt towards him. "I have something to say, Sun Wukong, and I will speak frankly. Besides, it is you who became a monk, why don't you shave your head, tsk..."

Why did the thought come up again that "a monk should shave his head to be considered a monk"?

Ever since it saw that kid, it has had strange memories and impressions. Could it be that it has been hit by some kind of illusion?

Although he calls himself "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven", he does not think that he is invincible. Wait...if he has not conquered the world, how can he be "the Great Sage Equaling Heaven"?

Ah…annoying.

...

The strange journey together lasted for several days.

In order to avoid encounters that could harm innocent people, they rarely go to villages and towns except for eating and bathing; even to protect the flowers and plants, they mostly wander among the barren rocky beaches and Gobi deserts.

Even the sky was grey, and there was a "rock rain" from time to time. It was not very pleasant to watch, but it was still quite dangerous.

I feel like it's easy to get jaded if I stay for a long time.

"They can't be starving themselves, right? When will this end..." Luo Yi didn't care, but he felt sorry for the little girl who was traveling with him.

Although Hanabi is not a pampered rich girl, she is indeed a lady in the literal sense.

"Luo Yi, are you tired?" Unexpectedly, she cared about him as if nothing had happened.

"I'm fine, I'm thinking about you." Now it seemed that Luo Yi was complaining himself.

"Well... don't be so direct, there are outsiders here... Well, actually I'm thinking about you too." The little girl's direct attack.

Lao Zi & Sun Wukong: "..."

Accidentally hurt the innocent single fellow travelers.

"Ahem...Brother Luo Yi, you said that Xiao's actions are subject to a time limit. Do you know exactly what the limit is and how long it is?" Indeed, wasting time like this is not a solution.

"It's not fixed. For example, the time for searching the mission target will be relatively relaxed, but once we find it, things will become tense. We are now in a state of being "discovered", which may take three to five days at the shortest and no more than a week at the longest..." Luo Yi couldn't give an accurate answer either.

Zetsu is very proficient in earth escape, and countless White Zetsu teams can always monitor their every move. Even Itachi and Kisame have to think twice before passing on information.

So even Luo Yi didn't expect...

What they were waiting for today was actually a large clay bird that looked somewhat familiar.
