Chapter 18: Trials

In the misty bathroom, Yagami is taking a bath. Shirahoshi twisted his body and swam happily in the Yagamiki bathtub.

There was still a little time before Orochimaru came back, and Yagamiki took advantage of this time to bathe and change clothes. Wash away the dust left behind by the long journey, experience the filth left by the war, and raise the spiritual energy to the highest.

Shirahoshi lay lazily on the water of the tub, and the heat made her feel comfortable.

"Are you going to see that terrible snake again, I really don't want to go. ”

As a white-scaled serpent, Shirahoshi can naturally feel Orochimaru's true body.

"There's no need to be afraid, Shirahoshi. Sooner or later, he will be surpassed by me. ”

Yagamiki washed his body, his voice was very small, but he didn't know if he was talking about it to Shirahoshi or himself.

Dressed in a white kimono and tied up with a white headband for his waist-length hairband, Yagami walked out of the garden and walked slowly between the cloisters.

Unlike Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, the architecture of the Land of Tanokuni always retains a hint of ancient charm. Around the corner is the room where Orochimaru arranged to meet, and the serving ninja had retired before that, and Yagamiki entered the room alone.

The furnishings in the room are simple, one bed, one coffee table, and two tatami mats sitting opposite each other. Yagamiki knelt on the tatami mat and waited for Orochimaru's arrival.

About an hour passed.

The door was opened. Orochimaru, dressed in a beige kimono, appeared in front of Yagamiki's eyes.

After a year, Yagami Qi saw the face that looked nine points like himself again.

"It's been a long time, Qi!" Ann sat down in front of Yagamiki, and Orochimaru said gently.

"It's true that I haven't seen him for a year, and I miss my father too. Sitting in front of Orochimaru, Yagami Qi also said softly.

Orochimaru couldn't help but admire Yagamiki, this was really his most perfect research result to date. He is only six years old, but after a year of training, he has completely lost the appearance of facing his enemy a year ago. Both on the surface and on the inside, it is the same calm.

"What interesting things did Qi Jun have during his training, my father really wanted to hear it. ”

"It's nothing special, there are wars everywhere, and the children just saw an opportunity to take in some orphans. Speaking of which, I also brought a batch of them, hoping that my father would settle them well. ”

"Qi, how do you want me to settle them? Orochimaru stared playfully at the face in front of him, which was almost the same as when he was young.

Yagamiki knew that his answer would affect the fate of the orphans brought back from the Hoshino family's village. Training for ninjas, or as research material for Orochimaru. Sent to civilian foster care? Unfortunately, there is no option for those children.

"I hope that my father will send ninjas to teach them and make them my subordinates in the future. ”

"Oh, you're already planning to build your own team. Orochimaru even raised the corners of his mouth. Yagamiki's eagerness to thirst for power is so interesting.

"Yes, it is my ideal to surpass my father. Yagami Qi looked directly at Orochimaru, his eyes burning. He wasn't worried about Orochimaru being jealous of himself because of this, and no one knew Orochimaru's qi better than him.

Orochimaru is a super high-end cultivated player who can teach the apprentices under his nose to the point of killing himself in the end. Although, in the end, it's just a bunch.

"Then do as Qi asks. I will send a shinobi to teach them. Orochimaru said nonchalantly

I don't know how many of those children will survive after the training of Shangnin. Yagami sighed in his heart, but he immediately changed his mentality, and he really needed some real help.

"Qi, have you found a good teammate after a year of traveling? Orochimaru asked, this was what he was expecting.

"I found two people. Pursing his lips, Yagami said.

"One of them is Yagyu Kazuki, and he is a samurai who is good at wielding swords. Sixteen years old, the advantage is that he has a strong will. ”

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but be disappointed. Qi couldn't satisfy him with such an ordinary teammate.

"One person's name is Hoshino Red Lotus. Eleven years old, he is currently a ninja strength. She has a blood succession, a crystal escape. ”

Orochimaru licked his lips, and although he didn't show anything on his face, Yagamiki knew he was excited. Studying blood has always been Orochimaru's hobby.

"That's just one person away from the most reasonable team. One of the little ones you brought back last year had a funny girl, and I made it up for you. That girl seems to adore you. I'll tell her to meet you at the training ground. ”

"What's the girl's name? ”

"Tayuya, he's very talented in ninjutsu about sounds. ”

Tayuya. What an unexpected surprise. The red-haired girl she saved turned out to be one of the future Ninja Four.

"Is that her? Then thank you, Father. ”

"It's over chatting, let me see how strong you are. ”

"My father wants to test me? ”

"No, I'm not going to do it, I've got some interesting characters for you. ”

"Let's go, Qi. Let me see how you grow. Orochimaru got up and walked out of the room, followed by Yagamiki.

First out of the mansion and then out of the ninja village, Yagamiki's heart faintly felt that something was wrong.

Finally, Orochimaru stopped in front of a cave.

Two bright yellow lights are lit at the entrance of the cave, guarded by two ninjas with musical note foreheads.

"Lord Orochimaru!" Seeing Orochimaru, the two of them hurriedly saluted.

"Open the door. Orochimaru commanded. The two guards gripped the gate at the mouth of the cave, and the massive iron gate slowly opened at the sound of Caracalla's sound.

"That's where I prepared for you. The cave leads to a labyrinth-like passage drilled out by a giant serpent. In the cave, there are seven middle ninjas, more than 20 lower ninjas, and more than 300 ordinary samurai. A week ago, I had my men disperse enough food inside to drive them in, and I sent the word that after a month only five of them would leave alive. ”

In front of the cave, Orochimaru explained slowly.

"Now this is your testing location. Qi, my son, my heir. If you can make it to a month, I'll teach you any forbidden technique you want to learn!"

Yagami looked up at the man beside him. He looked at himself expectantly. Yagami retracted his gaze and walked slowly into the cave.

Although they have been together for five years, they have been raised by him, and they still have his genes in their bodies. But Orochimaru is always Orochimaru, he is a snake, a cold-blooded animal. Emotions had little effect on him. In the eye contact with Orochimaru just now, Yagamiki saw that his eyes were full of crazy desire to learn to find out, and he didn't worry about him in the slightest.

Walking slowly through the passage full of candles, little by little, the corners of Yagamiki's mouth opened up in a large arc.

He chuckled.

"It's so easy to get a forbidden reward in this way. ”

"Do you want to kill everyone? ”

"Try it, maybe you'll get a lot of rewards. ”

Gradually moving away from the bright passage, Yagamiki's shadow gradually pulled out, like a black python, stretching its body, ready to devour everything.
