In the special training room, Itachi and Shisui are engaged in a duel with hidden weapons and long knives.

The numerous shuriken refracted in a beautiful arc in the air, and then collided together, emitting bursts of crunch and sparks.

Itachi held the long knife and headed towards the water.

The swords converged in mid-air and disappeared in a flash.

The two knives collided with each other at great speed, and the sound of iron striking was accompanied by sparks.

"The force is enough, but the angle is insufficient."

"At this time, you shouldn't tease, but resist hard."

"The offensive must be rigorous, and there can be no omissions, and once there are omissions, it is to give the enemy a chance."

"You can't run out of strength, you must always keep a little leeway."

The sound of stopping the water sounded from time to time, and the weasel waved his long knife in silence, and followed the words of the water to try to change.

"That's amazing, Itachi..."

Sensing the change in the ferret's gradual clarity, Zhishui smiled slightly, found an opportunity, and directly knocked the knife in the ferret's hand away.

"Alright, let's move on to physical arts." After returning the knife to the sheath, Shisui looked at Itachi and said.

"Hmm."

The weasel hid the loss in his heart, and without saying a word, he attacked the water.

The limbs of the two collided rapidly, making a muffled sound.

The fight of the monomer technique lasted for more than three hours.

In the end, it was the ferret who stopped first, because his physical strength had bottomed out, and his head hung slightly, panting.

The breath of stopping water is also a little messy, but it's better than the ferrez.

"That's all for today." Zhishui gasped slightly.

"No, let me rest for ten minutes, and then I can continue." Itachi gasped.

Zhishui habitually touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Itachi, training should be relaxed." ”

Itachi tried to calm his breath and said seriously, "I'm okay." ”

That's not enough...

The files that Ye Zi left in the root turned into words and engraved them in his head, connecting them with the battle he saw that day.

Looking at the Weasel's serious expression, he was helpless to stop the water, and he could only cater to the Weasel.

.........

Three generations of Hokage residences.

Ape Fei sat alone in the living room, with a freshly brewed cup of tea in front of him.

The heat slowly rises, and the faint fragrance of tea wafts through the living room.

Ape Fei squinted, picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and then let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.

Gently putting down the teacup, Ape Fei turned his head to look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and whispered to himself, "The weather is good." ”

The calm and leisurely time lasted for a while, and then it was broken by a visit from one person.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama." A handsome middle-aged man stood in the hallway outside the living room and bowed slightly to Ape Fei.

"Sit down." Ape Fei looked at the visitor, smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal the person to sit down.

The middle-aged man walked slowly to the opposite side of Ape Fei, and then sat down.

Ape Fei filled a cup of hot tea and pushed it to the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage." The middle-aged man took the teacup and looked at the tea in the cup quietly with his head down.

"Yuanye, it's so empty today, you want to come and see me?" Ape Fei laughed.

This middle-aged man is the mountain wilderness of the interrogation department, and he is also one of the elites of the mountain family.

"Three generations of Hokage-sama..."Harano looked up at Sarutobi, and stopped talking.

"How?" Ape Fei's eyes were deep and calm.

Yuan Ye took a deep breath, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's all my fault that the village will suffer such a big loss. ”

Ape Fei was slightly stunned and said, "Why do you say this? ”

Yuan Ye shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If the judgment I made at the beginning was that Ye Zi met the handling standards, there would be no such things. ”

Ape Fei couldn't help but be silent, and after a moment, he said solemnly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. ”

"Regarding the results of Ye Zi's interrogation, you know that I have hidden something." Yuan Ye sighed.

Ape Fei pursed his lips and said seriously: "That's right, but I still trust your judgment, and you don't have to blame yourself like this, Ye Zi will become the enemy of the village now, and a large part of the reason is my inaction." ”

Yuan Ye was moved and blamed when he heard this, and he was silent and didn't know what to say.

"Now, I'm more curious about what you're hiding." Ape Fei looked at the field with his head down.

Yuan Ye slowly raised his head and said in a low voice: "The scene I saw shows that Ye Zi is not from the Land of Rain. ”

"Huh?" Ape Fei raised an eyebrow.

Yuan Ye continued: "I know that based on this alone, I can judge that Ye Zi has reached the standard of handling, but I have concealed this. ”

Ape Fei was silent, his expression was slightly solemn, as Yuan Ye said, if there is a difference in identity, it must be dealt with directly, especially in that period, it should be executed like this.

"However, I saw Ye Zi's anger, sadness, unwillingness, and calmness... And, contentment and happiness. Yuan Ye frowned slightly, the main theme of the scene he had sketched out with illusion was the image of the low buildings wailing in the fire in the dark night.

From this, he felt Ye Zi's various emotions layered on top of each other, and also determined that Ye Zi was not from the Land of Rain, but he was indeed the remnant of the war brought back by Orochimaru from the Land of Rain.

And, the place where he was struggling in the fire, he didn't know which country, which place, so far, he still hasn't found this place.

Originally, what he saw and felt in the first part had already made a judgment to deal with Ye Zi, but the picture that appeared at the end made him change his mind.

"The reason why I chose to hide it is because..."Yuan Ye recalled what he saw at that time.

Ape Fei silently waited for the next step in the field.

A vague smile.

"A fuzzy smile?" Ape Fei was puzzled.

Yuan Ye sighed: "I don't know how to explain it, it's obviously clouded, but when I see that smile, I feel that it is a very satisfying, happy, and pure smile." ”

"Ye Zihe... It seems that there is a very important family, and this smile is born from this, I think, children with such a smile should not be disposed of. ”

"Important family members." Ape Fei's brows furrowed slowly, although Ye Zi had passed the interrogation at the beginning, he had been ordering people to monitor Ye Zi in the first few years, so he knew very well that Ye Zi had never mentioned anything about his family.

Family, where do they come from?

Ape Fei sighed, unwilling to continue to dwell on this topic, and said: "Now that it's over, it's useless to say this, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Yuan Ye pursed his lips tightly, with a look of self-blame, in the time since Konoha was attacked by Ye Zi, he has been thinking about this matter, and he has never been able to let go.

He thought, if he had disposed of Ye Zi at the beginning, how could it become the situation he is now.

The difference of one thought, with the fate of Ye Zi alone, has caused a great impact.

Time passes.

The ninja world seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

During this time, there have been few disputes, and nothing major has happened, and it seems to be the calmest period in the ninja world.

On the surface, there is no major incident, but the intelligence officers in the secret are very active.

Konoha didn't do anything about the Rain Ninja Village afterwards, but he never stopped the intelligence operation.

In addition to the Iwa Ninja Village, the major ninja villages are developing calmly, and the intelligence personnel are competing for their abilities.

Jiraiya also targeted Ye Zi and Yu Ninja Village, and also began to launch his actions.

The location of Ye Zi's stronghold has been well hidden so far, and his stronghold has not been discovered despite the active intelligence personnel of all parties.

The people who connect the inside and outside are fish, and some of the foreign affairs of the stronghold are entrusted to her, and she is also a talent, such as purchasing ninja equipment and daily necessities, she can do it very well without attracting attention.

Clones with white eyes are the best guards, they can guard around the stronghold without eating or drinking, and can warn them as soon as there is an invasion of foreign enemies.

On this day, Orochimaru told Ye Zi a piece of news, that is, the results of the curse mark came out.

It took three months...
