Chapter 39: The Roots
The efforts that Sarufei said were just empty talk in the end, and the will of the Konoha higher-ups was not so easily reversed.
Orochimaru didn't give up so easily, he even lobbied the Konoha high-level, unfortunately, this time, the Konoha high-level showed a very tough posture.
After several days of useless work, Orochimaru's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he did not hide his mood fluctuations in front of Ye Zi, as if he was telling Ye Zi in this way that his plan would eventually become an empty talk, so he was about to make a move in his thoughts.
He informed Ye Zi in this way and handed over the choice of whether or not to make a move to Ye Zi.
Since the loss of both parents when he was a teenager, Orochimaru's blood gradually became cold, and it was not until he was used to life and death that the blood was completely cold, until he met Ye Zi, until there was one more person in the empty home, and unconsciously, the cold blood slowly had a trace of temperature, although his expression and his eyes were so cold.
There are always so many helpless things in the world...
For example, a fire that the strong put down casually to the weak.
For example, the injustice that is given to the body from the moment of birth.
For example, when I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by icy rain and cold wind.
For example, if you are brought here without the power to resist, you will also be thrown out in the end.
This night, there was no wind or clouds, and the moon was very round and bright.
Ye Zi wore combat clothes, brought all kinds of forbearance equipment needed for the mission, and then prepared a very sumptuous meal.
The dishes are hearty, but most of them are made with eggs as the main ingredient and fill the entire table.
Because Orochimaru loves eggs.
After preparing a table of meals, Ye Zi'an sat quietly and looked sideways at the green courtyard.
Once, there was only a lonely old tree in that courtyard, which was also Ye Zi's training place at the beginning, and when Ye Zi, who was not satisfied with training in the courtyard, moved to the special training ground of Mu Ye, the courtyard gradually added some plants and flowers, until now, it is a qualified courtyard, with flowers and grass.
He sat in silence for a while, until there was movement in the hallway, and he straightened up and looked ahead without squinting.
The food on the table was still steaming, and it was a dish he had estimated the time to start cooking.
Orochimaru, who came back, didn't come over this time without changing into furniture clothes, but came to the living room in a ninja costume, watching the egg dishes on the table slowly sit opposite Ye Zi.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and after a while, Orochimaru took the lead in moving his chopsticks, and Ye Zi also moved his chopsticks when he saw this.
The only sound on the dinner table is chopsticks tapping on ceramic bowls and chewing food.
It has always been a matter of not saying anything, it was, it is, and it is estimated that it will be in the future.
It doesn't matter if it's one person, or two people...
Half an hour later, there were no dishes left on the table, and it had always been the case, often Ye Zi ate more, and his eating speed was much faster than that of the Great Snake Pill, but when the last table of dishes was finished, it happened to be the time when the two of them were full.
"It's time for me to go."
Ye Zi looked at the endgame on the table and was silent for a moment, and then said slowly.
Orochimaru looked at the small piece of golden egg skin left in the corner of the empty dish, and said coldly, "I gave you a chance." ”
The implication seemed to be that Ye Zi had been notified, but Ye Zi didn't cherish it, but stayed and made a table of dishes waiting for him to come back.
"Hmm." Ye Zi nodded very calmly, and then regardless of Orochimaru's cold expression, he slowly got up, and when he walked to the corridor, he suddenly stopped and said, "I won't clean it up this time." ”
After saying that, he stepped on the stone stairs and walked to the courtyard, glanced at the familiar courtyard, and then turned his head and silently glanced at the side face of Orochimaru, and then he stepped out of the wall and headed towards the gate of Konoha.
He was forced to come to the place called Konoha and leave with the gate open.
From beginning to end, Orochimaru just looked at the small piece of egg skin in the corner of the empty dish and was silent, a few days ago, he said that he was going to kill Ye Zi, and a few days later, the time had come, but he didn't know why he couldn't do it.
Thinking that he was the only one left in this mansion in the future, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably stunned in his heart.
"Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas? It's not as good as a corner of that seat. The man with a grim expression muttered to himself coldly.
……………
The night is not dark, and the streets of Konoha are lit up with hundreds of lights, and there is a hidden sense of prosperity.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, Ye Zi sprinted down the street, all the way unimpeded, until he came to the Konoha Gate and there was still no one to stop him, and after carefully perceiving it, there was no ninja who should have been guarding around the Konoha Gate.
Despite his doubts, Ye Zi did not stop, ran out of the Konoha Gate, and walked along the straight road that extended from the gate, and the trees on both sides of the road quickly retreated.
Whew...
Not long after he came out of Konoha, Ye Zi, who was speeding away, suddenly braked suddenly, his heel drew a rough mark on the ground, and he stopped and quietly stared at a person in front of the road.
The white moonlight poured down on the ground, clearly reflecting the man's face, a scattered black hair tied between his forehead and squeezed into the sky, his cold face was expressionless, there was an obvious "X" scar on his chin, and the bright moonlight could not isolate the cold light in those eyes.
The person who came was Shimura Tuanzang, who controlled the "root", but Ye Zi didn't know him, his cold gaze swept from Tuanzang's face to the battle uniform with red as the keynote, and finally fell to the red hilt that emerged from behind Tuanzang's shoulder, and silently pulled out his thunder teeth.
His eyes vaguely swept to the trees on both sides of the road, and his eyes finally focused on Tuan Zang, slowly clenching the hilt of the knife.
He noticed a faint but substantial murderous aura in the air, whether it was the person in front of him, or a few people hiding in the tree, each person definitely had a lot of human lives in their hands, and the people on the tree had perfect hiding methods, and the breathing sound that was almost equal to that of insects was basically difficult to detect, and having such a perfect hiding method revealed the most detectable murderous aura, thinking that the murderous aura emitted was also deliberate.
Tuan Zang saw Ye Zi drifting to the place where his subordinates were hiding, his cold face softened slightly, and said, "Very keen." ”
Ye Zi looked at him and didn't say a word.
"You want to escape?" Danzang asked.
Ye Zi was still silent, but he had already put on an offensive posture.
As if he didn't see Ye Zi's raised arm, Danzang continued: "No one can escape from Konoha under my nose, I give you two choices, die here, or join the 'root'. ”
"Roots?" Ye Zi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Tuan Zang said calmly: "The root is the root of Konoha, which you can understand as the enemy who specializes in training the shadows. ”
"Why?" Ye Zi looked at him.
Tuan Zang smiled coldly and said, "You have enough abilities to make me pay attention, Ape Fei can't protect you, and Orochimaru can't protect you, but I can." ”
This man from the root is optimistic about Ye Zi's prospects, unlike the Konoha White Fang who can't be recruited now, Ye Zi is still in a period of rapid growth.
