As night fell, I finally left the Land of Rain and came to the border of the Land of Stone.

Xiao Nan thought that he could almost rest for a while, but he didn't want Ye Zi to have no intention of stopping to rest at all.

The country of stone has a treacherous environment, incomparably desolate, more than the country of rocks, mostly based on stone mountains, even if it is flat, there are many huge rocks lying horizontally.

Its territory is several times that of the Land of Rain, but the area available for cultivation is far less than that of the Land of Rain, not only because of the environment and weather in the Land of Stone, but also because the soil contains substances that are not suitable for food growth.

However, to be able to establish a country in such an environment, there must be capital for survival, that is, the rich ore of various types in the country of stone.

In the steep terrain of the Stone Country, coupled with the day's travel, you should choose to rest and wait until dawn to continue your journey.

Xiao Nan thought that Ye Zi was targeting her, and she was immediately full of resentment.

"It's almost time to pause." Jumping over a boulder blocking the way, Xiao Nan shouted at Ye Zi's back.

Hearing this, Ye Zi stopped, landed on a boulder, looked back at Xiao Nan, and said lightly: "What, I can't stand it?" ”

"Do you want to find the Red Sand Scorpion directly like this?" Xiao Nan looked slightly tired, he didn't eat or drink for a day, and he didn't even stop.

"Questions?" Ye Zi had a hint of ridicule in his eyes, somehow, since he was questioned by Xiao Nan that time, he was very wrong with Xiao Nan, speaking of which, the root cause was the time when Hanzang and Tuan Zang designed Nagato.

"Of course there is a problem!" Xiao Nan said slightly angrily: "In this state, what if there is a fight? ”

She doesn't think that the Red Sand Scorpion is a good character, and she is not sure if she can successfully recruit it, and the worst plan is to fight.

A person who can kill three generations of Kazekage, how can he be a weak person, if he fights with the Red Sand Scorpion in this state, it is a trivial matter if he can't take advantage, and he may lose his life.

"You can hide and watch." Ye Zi looked up at the moon that was obscured by the clouds, and said lightly: "So, it's a trouble to let you come with me, if it weren't for you, I would have used the thunder to hurry, and now I guess I have found the red sand scorpion." ”

"You guy!"

Xiao Nan couldn't help but throw a few pieces of paper shuriken towards Ye Zi.

Ye Zi didn't even look at it, he reached out and easily grabbed the paper shuriken, such a relaxed and freehand posture, Xiao Nan couldn't help but be stunned.

This is the shuriken she threw angrily, although she didn't inject too much chakra into the shuriken, but at such a distance, it was caught so easily?

"Looks like you're pretty energetic." Flames erupted from Ye Zi's palm, burning the shuriken into ashes, and flying towards the night with the breeze.

Xiao Nan said angrily: "You did it on purpose, right? ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Ye Zi wouldn't admit it, although he really thought that Xiao Nan would only be a nuisance.

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, feeling that it was better to rest for a while to argue with Ye Zi about this issue, she stared at Ye Zi's back coldly, and said, "Rest and rest for the night, and continue to rush tomorrow morning." ”

"Whatever you want."

Ye Zi sat directly on the boulder and looked up at the moon that was exposed.

It is possible to start a battle with the Red Sand Scorpion, which will make Xiao Nan's state a little better, at least it will have some effect.

Seeing that Ye Zi did not object, Xiao Nan walked to the space behind the stacking of stones, sat down casually, took out dry food and ate it, and when he looked up, he could see Ye Zi's back.

After hastily eating the dry food, Xiao Nan suddenly asked, "Why didn't you come with us at the beginning?" ”

Hearing Xiao Nan's words, Ye Zi thought of the memory in his mind, and said lightly: "Because I gave up." ”

Xiao Nan's eyelids drooped slightly, and the gloom he saw at that time was because of this?

"Then how did you become a ninja of Konoha."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Ye Zi took out the dry food from his waist bag and said, "I met Orochimaru and Tsunade, and they brought it back to Konoha. ”

Xiao Nan was silent when he heard this, and no longer talked, but leaned against the stone, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Ye Zi meets Orochimaru and Tsunade, and they meet Jiraiya.

However, Orochimaru and Tsunade chose to take Hazusa back to the village, while Jiraiya stayed behind to take care of them, and then agreed to teach ninjutsu because they were attacked by ninjas.

If Mr. Jiraiya also took the three of them back to Konoha, maybe everything would be different after all.

She was so cranky that she fell asleep before she knew it.

Ye Zi tilted his head to look at Xiao Nan.

The moon, which peeked out of the clouds, cast a not-so-bright moonlight, through the cracks in the rocks, forming a flat beam of moonlight, which fell on Xiao Nan's slightly tilted cheek.

Retracting his gaze, Ye Zi just sat on the boulder, quietly looking at this desolate country.

Early morning.

Xiao Nan woke up.

At this moment, Ye Zi stood up and said, "If you have a good rest, let's go." ”

Xiao Nan looked at him, was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Didn't you sleep?" ”

Ye Zi said lightly: "If you were a little conscious, you wouldn't sleep until dawn like this." ”

With that, he jumped off the boulder and headed forward.

Xiao Nan understood what Ye Zi meant, raised his eyebrows, and followed, even if he didn't see Ye Zi's expression, he must have looked sarcastic.

The two crossed the uninhabited area, only to find that it was a small town built between yellow sand and stone mountains.

I'm not sure of the location of the red sand scorpion, but the appearance of the red sand scorpion is relatively special, and everyone who has seen it should be very impressed.

The two walked side by side into a town covered in yellow sand, and to survive in this environment, the inhabitants should have good will and health.

Perhaps because they were spared the war, the inhabitants were not too hostile to the rare outsiders.

Ye Zi casually found a few people and asked, and the other party was very cooperative, and immediately let him get the information of the Red Sand Scorpion.

"In the abandoned mining area to the south?"

With this information, the two did not go over as soon as possible, but found a place and asked for some shivering food, and they were inevitably slaughtered.

After eating hastily, he left the town and headed south.

Soon after coming to the mining area, the two saw the eye-catching appearance of the red sand scorpion from a distance.

Hunched back, his whole body was covered in a black robe, only one head was exposed, and he looked like an older middle-aged uncle, with a thick beard that covered his nose and was very stylish.

The reason why the Red Sand Scorpion came to the Land of Stone was because he needed some special ores to use as raw materials for hidden weapons, and the more the better.

So, he stayed in the country of stone for a long time before Ye Zi and Xiao Nan found him in time.

The arrival of the two immediately attracted his attention, and he looked up at the two people on the top of the mountain, expressionless, and secretly on guard.

The woman didn't give him a sense of anything, but the man wearing a mask next to him faintly made him feel a little pressure.

Xiao Nan looked at the Red Sand Scorpion and was thinking about how to persuade the latter to join Xiao.

"Red Sand Scorpion, join Xiao."

When she was still organizing the language, she couldn't help but be speechless when she heard Ye Zi's words so simply.

What responded to Ye Zi was the hidden weapon that shot from under the wide black robe! (To be continued.) )
