Chapter 8: Parting Ways

The two men and a dog converged and ran forward with the smoke. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Cave, Orochimaru was using a large needle to draw Yukimi's blood, and the pain made Yukimi wake up and let out a miserable scream. Yukimi's shout was heard, and Kakashi immediately determined the location, and the secret cave was behind the dirt and rocks in front of him. Kakashi sealed, "Rachel!" With Rakki Dirt, Rachel chiseled through the boulder at the entrance. The smoke filled, and Kakashi and Yamato rushed in. Affected by the Thunder Cut Stone, Orochimaru and Yukimi both fell to the ground. Orochimaru stood up, "Two stinky boys, you dare to hinder me!"

Kakashi said, "I won't be afraid anymore this time! I'll look you straight in the eye until the end and knock you down." Orochimaru disdainfully, "You, you're still far away! At this moment, the earth and rocks above began to crumble, which was the after-effect of Kakashi Rache. Facing the falling earth and rocks, Kakashi rushed over with Chidori in his hand. Orochimaru shoots kunai with a rope, and kunai nails into the rock wall above. Orochimaru dragged the rope to it, "I said, I'll play with you again when you become more mature!"

A and Kakashi find Yukimi under the guidance of the smoke of the Ibuli clan, but Orochimaru, who received Yukimi's blood, escapes without any problems.

Kakashi wanted to pursue, but Yukimi's screams attracted him. Kakashi and Yamato hurriedly went over to check, and it turned out that Yukimi's spell was printed. Kakashi is well-informed, "This is Orochimaru's curse seal. Yamato was at a loss, "What to do, Kakashi?" Kakashi shook his head, "Only the caster can lift the spell mark. Yamato said, "How can this be?" Yukimi was still shouting Tenzo's name in the midst of intense pain. Broken caverns, the sun shining down. Yamato burst into tears, and Yukimi's outstretched arms began to smoke, and then the whole person turned into pink smoke in the sunlight.

The smoke began to disperse, and once the smoke completely dissipated, it was impossible for Yukimi to change back. Yamato remembered his last companion and desperately sealed, "Mu Dun!" Yamato made a tall wooden box out of Mu Dun, but the smoke still drifted upward. The smoke rose faster than the speed at which Mu Dun could be made, and Yamato sweated profusely. In the end, there were still 4 puffs of green smoke floating outside, and Yamato couldn't do anything about it. Yamato remembered the dead companion and hated his own incompetence even more. The soul smoke of the Ibuli people flew over, along the wooden escape box made by Yamato, enveloping the pink smoke of Yukimi, and the Ibuli people were using their own will to protect the last orphans.

Then a miracle happened, and with the joint efforts of these vitality forces, the wooden escape box became a towering tree full of vitality. Yamato and Kakashi were dumbfounded, the big tree sparkling in the sunlight. A hole was cracked in the trunk of the big tree, and Yukimi was inside, which was the will of the deceased and the miracle of life.

Yamato was overjoyed, "Yukimi!" Yukimi opened his eyes, and the joy of the reunion of "Tenzo ......" after the catastrophe was touching. The unstable Yukimi began to turn into smoke and slowly dissipated, and the spirits of the Ka and the Ibuli clan saved Yukimi back. The trees flutter in the wind, and the green leaves sound, as if a great song of life is played.

Leaving the Ibuli clan's station, Kakashi, Yamato, and Yukimi came to a three-way intersection. At that time, the sun was in full bloom, the sky was blue and green, and the sky was cloudless. Everyone decided to go their separate ways here. Kakashi said, "I haven't met Orochimaru, or the strange Ibuli clan or the people of the roots. With that, Kakashi walked along Road A to Konoha alone. Yukimi smiled, "Even if the wind blows again, I'm not afraid." I will move forward, for the sake of my future!" After saying goodbye to Yamato, Yukimi embarked on his own B road.

Watching Yukimi leave from afar, Yamato smiled and embarked on the C road back to Konoha, "I can only live according to the rules, but it's good." Because I know that I can protect others myself. "The three living people went their separate ways with different beliefs.

3 years after ―――――― Orochimaru's defection, Naruto was 4 years old――――――

Root base, Yamato and Root Ninja meet Danzo. Danzang said, "The writing wheel eye is originally thrown away when it is used up, and even the Uchiha clan, who hold the writing wheel eye, will gradually lose their pupil power with each use, and eventually lose their light. Note that Danzo's reference to the loss of light when using ordinary writing wheels refers to extreme cases where writing wheels are overused. Therefore, when there is no battle, the Uchiha clan will not open the writing wheel eye, just to close their eyes and recuperate their minds and moisturize the writing wheel eye. Generally speaking, as long as the ordinary writing wheel eye pays attention to protection and recuperation, it will not lose its pupil strength. No matter how much you maintain the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, as long as you use it, your vision will be weakened and you can't avoid it.

At this time, Danzang had already obtained the writing wheel eye of the Uchiha family, so he came to such a conclusion. Danzang revealed the writing wheel eye under the bandage of his right eye, "Not to mention that some forbidden techniques even have to use the writing wheel eye itself as a price to activate it." Go find a replacement for my eye!" "Danzo's writing wheel eye is attached to the lost right eye, and Kakashi's writing wheel eye is on the left eye. "If you want to attack the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, you need to be carefully prepared. "It's not necessarily the Uchiha, there is a person who has no parents who lost his teacher and killed his friends, and who has a writing wheel. Yamato immediately thought of it, "Kakashi Hachiki!" Danzo said coldly, "Never again!"

In the cemetery, Kakashi comes to worship Nohara Rin, and Yamato and Otoshi hide in the bushes to observe Kakashi. Yamato asked, "Whose grave?" "O said, "His companion, who he killed." The purple-haired Utsuki Yuyan appeared with a short knife on his back, "Kakashi-senpai, Hokage-sama is looking for you." Kakashi said, "Got it. The two of them walked towards the outside of the cemetery, Kakashi said, "Don't call me senpai, this isn't a ninja school." Xiyan said, "Even in the dark department, you are also a senior." I've always looked up to my seniors as role models. ”

Kakashi had been in the Shadows for many years at this time, and Yuyan had only recently joined the Shadows, and he was still very young. Kakashi said, "Find someone more reliable to set an example for!" Yuki smiled, "A more reliable person, a guy like Tempest? After Kakashi and Yuyan left, Yamato and B went to Nohara Rin's tomb, and Yamato saw the flowers in front of the tomb and Rin's name.

In the Hokage's office, the third Hokage said, "Orochimaru has many secret research facilities in the country, you know that, right?" Kakashi said yes. Sarutobi said, "Before escaping the village, Orochimaru destroyed some of them, and others were left untouched, including things we don't know. A team of 4 people on a mission happened to discover a facility of unknown purpose. According to the team's report upon returning, it was supposed to be one of the research facilities abandoned by Orochimaru. Kakashi asked, "Did the team investigate the interior?" Sarutobi said, "Thankfully it hasn't." Not knowing what's inside, I don't want the people in the village to know the truth about that guy's horrific research. They don't want to know what has become of their relatives and friends whose whereabouts are unknown. ”

The third Hokage said, "However, the investigation is necessary!" Kakashi understood, "So you want me to go to the shadows." It's been 3 years since Orochimaru defected from the village, and his negative legacy is still a headache!" Sarutobi said, "I'm sorry, I can only ask you!" Kakashi Hay.

Kakashi was ordered to travel through a grove of trees to the secret research base. A and B at the root then followed, aiming for Kakashi's Sharingan.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi was writing with a brush when Danzou walked in, "I heard that you found Orochimaru's stronghold?" Sarutobi said, "It's the research facility left by that guy, and I've sent someone to investigate." "That's right!" Sarutobi stood up, "Aren't you at ease?" "Even though it's an abandoned research facility, it's hard to guarantee that there are no traps left inside." I wonder if the investigator is reliable?" Ape Fei said, "I'm a master of the shadows. Tuan Zangyin said ruthlessly, "I hope he's okay." Ape Fei frowned, not knowing what kind of conspiracy Tuan Zang was engaged in.

Kakashi came to the research facility, which was an underground cavern. Kakashi jumped into the cave and came to the entrance door, where there was a sealed spell. Kakashi seals and tries to break the seal. When the seal turns red, it loses its color. Kakashi stepped forward to uncover the talisman, and the sigil suddenly glowed, and Kakashi quickly retreated, and with a loud "bang", an explosion occurred, and the gate exploded, and the flames soared into the sky.

The water rushed out from behind, blocking the flames, and it was Yamato who sent out the water escape ninjutsu. Kakashi narrowly avoided the explosion trap, and of course spotted the stalker behind him, "You're A, right?" Yamato had to stand up, "Long time no see, Kakashi!"

After the explosion, the smoke cleared and the gate opened. Kakashi and Yamato walked inside, and Kakashi casually asked, "Why are you here?" Yamato said, "There is a mission." Kakashi said, "Come and support me? No, no, it's Danzo-sama, right? He also wanted to investigate Orochimaru's research facility without permission, so he sent Ne. Yamato didn't answer, Kakashi crossed his hands, "Don't the people of Gen never reveal the content of the mission?, but anyway, thank you so much for the water escape just now!" Yamato said, "I don't want Kakashi to be burned to death." Kakashi said, "Do you want to go in and investigate together, and if you have any discoveries, you can communicate with each other." ”

Kakashi was sent by the third generation to investigate the facility of unknown purpose left behind by Orochimaru, and with him was Ne's A, but the order A received was not to investigate the facility, and Danzou was eyeing Kakashi's sharingan. Yamato pondered, Kakashi said, "What's the matter, even if the deployment is different, we are all Konoha ninjas, and we can help each other!" Yamato said, "That's right, I don't know what the situation is before." Let's go!" Kakashi said, "Okay. ”

The two walked forward, and B secretly hung behind him. Kakashi said, "The trap seems to be only the entrance, presumably Orochimaru was in a hurry to escape, and he didn't have time to set up more." Yamato said, "Yes, but be careful." As he spoke, Yamato secretly took out the kunai and prepared to sneak up on Kakashi. The two came to the front door, and Yamato didn't find a chance to start. Kakashi gently pushed the door, "Come on, be careful!" The door opened a crack, and Kakashi dangled the mirror, reflecting the scene inside to see if there was a mechanism.

After confirming that there were no problems, the two entered inside, which was a laboratory with a lot of lab reports on the table, as well as some glassware. Yamato said, "It seems like nothing." Kakashi flipped through a report, "I don't know what experiments Orochimaru has done here. I guess he's the best at human experiments or something. Yamato asked, "Human experiments?"

―――――― Yamato's vague memories――――――

In the gloomy intercolumnar cell laboratory, Orochimaru and Danzang walked in, and Orochimaru said gloomily, "This is not good, that is not good, these are not good......" Tuanzang followed, there were broken glassware along the way, and there was a child struggling in the utensils, that was Yamato. When passing by Yamato's side, Orochimaru said angrily, "This experimental subject has also failed! I thought that children in the growth period were suitable for the reproduction of intercolumnar cells, but who knew that it would not work." A child's physical strength can't support it at all!" Yamato barely opened his eyes and saw the vague outlines of Orochimaru and Danzo. Orochimaru decided to close this place and seal it off, and Danzo had no objection.

The two of them walked outside, completely oblivious to Yamato's survival. Orochimaru said, "Don't worry, there are many other methods of cell transplantation, and the next experiment will start soon." Shortly after the two left, the lab's instruments stopped working, and the place was abandoned by Orochimaru. The vessel where Yamato was was collapsing, the liquid flowed out, and Yamato let out a miserable howl, "I'm still alive, don't give up...... Don't!" Hearing a voice from the laboratory, Danzo slammed the door and rushed in, and when he saw Yamato, he showed a shocked expression, "I actually survived!"

Later, Yamato was taken to Konoha Hospital by Danzang for initial diagnosis and treatment, and after his body recovered, he took Yamato to the training base of the roots. At that time, Yamato seemed to have forgotten who he was, and even had a language barrier. Tuan Zang chattered, "Orochimaru is too greedy, and then he tries new things three times, but he never persists. However, if he gave up his confidence in you early, you are lucky, if you stay with Orochimaru, you will definitely be used as experimental materials. ”

When he came to the base, he met the other ninjas, Danzo Michi, "My organization takes in those ninjas who have nowhere to go, and from now on, you will also become a ninja of the roots!" Yamato asked what the root was, and Tuanzo said, "We are the solid foundation that supports the big tree of Konoha." If the roots are not deep enough, the tree will not grow tall. "Yamato," so is it a root?" Danzo said, "Your name is Jia! From now on, you will also be our companion." ”
