Chapter 260 Can You Get Angry?
After Kaito left Ao's tent, he trotted back to the flying unit base.
Sure enough, Harusame had been waiting here for a long time.
This time, time was urgent, so Kaito simply didn't see anyone. He and Harusame quietly left the front-line camp and set off to return to the Kirigakure Village.
After traveling day and night, the two finally arrived at the Kirigakure Village.
As soon as they entered the gate of Kirigakure Village, Kaito could immediately feel that there was something strange in the village.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the village, but the villagers seem to be a little too good.
Everyone greets others with a smile and is warm and friendly when meeting them.
Even when a civilian accidentally bumped into a ninja with his cart, the two of them kept apologizing to each other and said it was okay.
You know, in the past, in this situation, it is very likely that the civilian would be killed on the spot, and then kicked by the angry ninja.
Even though this ninja was one of the few with a good temper in the Kirigakure Village, the civilians who bumped into him did not show any fear at all.
After seeing this scene, Kaito no longer felt weird, he even felt a little creepy.
A few months ago, not long after returning from the front line, Kaito had a vague feeling that everyone in the village had become more harmonious and even Buddhist.
No matter how the atrocities of Kumogakure are publicized within the village, the damage caused to the village by Kumogakure's attacks is mentioned many times.
No one seemed to care, as if the attack happened a long time ago.
However, since the battle in Kirigakure might end soon, Kaito didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought that the pressure of the previous war was too great, and it was normal for everyone to relax after the rare peace.
But now the scene in front of him.
'Is this still the Blood Mist Village?'
This cannot be explained by a change in mentality or a desire for peace.
However, when Kaito just came up with this idea and began to question it.
A series of negative emotions in his mind, such as doubt and horror, were suddenly eliminated.
On the contrary, he thinks, "This seems to be pretty good. Isn't it the beginning of a beautiful life if everyone lives in harmony?"
As soon as this thought popped into his head, Kaito woke up immediately.
He placed one hand in front of his chest and formed seals to release secret techniques.
'Secret Technique: Safeguard!'
The secret technique was successfully released, and a layer of mental power fluctuations invisible to the naked eye instantly enveloped Kaito's body like a stream of water, wrapping him tightly.
Since Kaito extracted the skill "Safeguard", he rarely used it. After all, it was only effective against mental attacks and needed to be used in advance. It was difficult to use in most scenarios.
However, at this moment, it has become Kaito's most solid support.
His brain suddenly became clear, and just as Kaito came to his senses, every hair on his body seemed to stand up.
'What happened just now?!'
It was not until this moment that Kaito clearly realized the weirdness of the village.
Kaito was actually in a completely peaceful state, and such an abnormal scene actually made even his doubts quickly disappear.
This kind of behavior that silently affects people's minds is even more terrifying than killing them directly.
It seemed that all negative emotions such as fear, anger, suspicion, etc. were wiped out by an invisible force.
Looking at the smiling, graceful people in front of him, Kaito felt a chill running through his body.
Just as Kaito was about to turn around and discuss this with Harusame, he saw a mixture of calmness and peace, fear and suspicion on Harusame's face, until it finally turned into the same weird smile as the other villagers.
"Captain Harusame!"
Kaito immediately shouted loudly.
However, Harusame just turned his head slowly and looked at Kaito, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"What's wrong, Kaito? You don't seem to be in good condition. Are you feeling unwell?"
This scene frightened Kaito so much that he took half a step back.
"Damn it! The Ninja War has become weird???!"
Kaito didn't care and flew into the air with his wings spread out. Harusame's gentle voice reminded him from behind.
"Be careful, fly slowly, it's dangerous."
"Get lost!"
Ignoring Harusame below which was also becoming strange, Kaito flew high into the sky and used his "Keen Eyes" to look down at the entire Kirigakure Village. It was visible to the naked eye that the entire village was in peace and tranquility, and people everywhere were polite.
"Shit! What the hell is going on?! Can we just come to the Great Harmony Society without the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
At this time, Kaito didn't care about any rules and swooped down to the Mizukage Building to investigate the situation.
When Kaito arrived at the Mizukage Building, the situation seemed to be a little normal. Although it also looked relatively quiet, the Anbu member on duty still stopped Kaito with a stern tone.
Hearing the other party's somewhat stern tone, Kaito felt a lot more at ease.
"What happened in the village?"
Kaito didn't care whether he knew this Anbu or not. Since the other party was relatively normal, Kaito couldn't wait to ask directly.
However, what he got was, "No comment", which only stated that the Third Mizukage was not in the Mizukage Building at the moment, and the Elder Genji was working on his behalf.
Since the person in charge was still there, Kaito simply left this Anbu behind and rushed straight into the Mizukage's office.
As soon as he opened the door and saw the kind smile on Elder Genji's face, Kaito was so scared that he almost closed the door again.
"No, that's how Elder Genji used to laugh."
Thinking of this, Kaito stepped into the office cautiously again.
"You're back, Kaito boy? Harusame isn't with you?"
After asking the question, Elder Genji saw Kaito's anxious expression and then smiled.
"You are quite good, boy."
Judging from the conversation and expression of Elder Genji, he must be aware of the reason for the strange situation in the village. However, Kaito was still a little uncertain, so he poked his head in and asked carefully.
"Elder Genji, can you get angry now?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Genji picked up a small box on the table and threw it at Kaito, then cursed with a smile.
"You little bastard, do you want me to beat you up a couple more times?"
Kaito nimbly caught the thing thrown by the other party, and then he felt a little relieved.
He asked as he stepped forward and reached out to put the box back.
"Elder, what happened to the village? It seems a little bit..."
Kaito muttered a few words but couldn't think of a suitable adjective.
"It's a bit too harmonious."
Elder Genji spoke up to add the second half of Kaito's speech.
"Yes!"
Elder Genji didn't pay attention to Kaito's surprise. He pushed the box in front of him, indicating that Kaito didn't need to put it over.
"This is for you, open it and take a look."
Kaito was a little confused, but still opened the box in his hand as he was told.
There was a strangely shaped bracelet inside.
