Chapter 13: What Happened
Orochimaru looked at Rope Tree's regretful expression, paused for a moment, and asked, "Aren't you happy that Rope Tree can leave the village, didn't you keep shouting to go out when you were in the ninja school before?" ”
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Rope Tree was speechless, but he couldn't say that he didn't have this idea now, it was the original owner's thinking.
All right...... Just this time, as long as you are more careful, there should be no danger, and besides, it's just a C-level mission, only B-level missions will encounter ninjas, and according to Konoha standards, at most some robbers will be encountered, so that even without his help, Riki and Mikoto can be solved.
Although Rope Tree is still a little entangled in the task of leaving the village, he also knows that once he takes on the task, it is difficult to change it without a special reason.
Regarding this C-level mission, it is actually very simple, which is to help the employer who issued the task to escort a batch of goods.
Orochimaru said a few words to his employer without being salty and indifferent, and learned about the situation along the way.
On the other side, the rope tree has also been observing the surrounding situation.
At the same time, I also learned about the content of this mission during Orochimaru's conversation with his employer, and it turned out that the recent heavy rain in the Rain Country had made the harvest in the Rain Country very poor, and it was urgent to buy food and various supplies from other countries.
This also leads to the fact that as long as it can be transported to the country of rain, the profit is several times higher than before, but there are also many dangers along the way, not to mention, there are many mountain bandits alone, but the super high profits also make many merchants willing to take risks, and spend money to hire Konoha ninjas to protect them.
This is the first time that Rope Tree has come out of Konoha in this world, and it also allows him to learn more about this world.
Rope tree found that the outside world was not as backward as he imagined, but that Konoha was a little backward compared to the outside.
Although there is Orochimaru pressing the formation, both Riki and Mikoto feel a little pressure, they are also out of the village for the first time, just a teenager, and they don't have any qualifications for C-level missions before.
So whenever there is some trouble, they will put on a fighting stance, because Orochimaru tells them that he will not make a move unless it is necessary.
That is to say, as long as he does not die in every mission, he will not shoot, once he is seriously injured, then it is better, it means that it is not suitable for the path of ninjas, and he quit early.
But they didn't know what the value of their existence was when they quit the ninja path, and because of this, Riki and Mikoto were very nervous along the way.
On the contrary, the performance of the rope tree makes the expressions on Riki and Maikoto's faces more wonderful and exciting.
Rope tree lies on the wagon and sleeps, and says that he is cultivating and comprehending the will of fire.
But the teacher actually believed it, and Li and Mikoto thought that the teacher might take some care of the rope tree, but they didn't expect it to be so eccentric.
This also made their previous awe of the rope tree swordsmanship disappear a lot, and they secretly encouraged themselves in their hearts to surpass the rope tree, which impressed Orochimaru sensei.
As for the small movements of Li and Mikoto, Orochimaru had already seen it in his eyes and showed a hint of a smile.
After all, he is now the teacher of the three, even if he pays more attention to the rope tree, it does not mean that he will give up Li and Maikoto, in the eyes of Orochimaru, Li and Maikoto only need to add some more motivation and pressure to make them break through quickly.
The swordsmanship shown by the rope tree before made them already have a lot of pressure, and it also made them lose some confidence, although through their own explanation, let them regain some confidence, but it is not enough!
Unexpectedly, this performance of the rope tree directly led to the dissatisfaction and motivation in their hearts, especially the spiritual breakthrough, which made Orochimaru believe that their strength would improve by leaps and bounds after going back this time.
The most direct way for the lower ninja to improve his strength is to master more advanced ninjutsu and increase the chakra in his body.
And in the case of pressure and motivation, it is the fastest improvement, of course, it can explode between life and death, but this kind of opportunity is too difficult to encounter, and Orochimaru is very sorry in his heart that he can't give his students such a task as B-level.
Although Orochimaru is happy with the improvement of strength and Maikoto, all this is nothing compared to the rope tree.
In Riki and Mikoto's eyes, Rope Tree is indeed sleeping, but Orochimaru, as a shinobi, has a very keen sense of Chakra, and he has been paying attention to Rope Tree.
Although the rope tree was sleeping, he could feel that the rope tree's chakara had been changing, and even he was not sure if this was the change in the nature of the chakara that he had guessed.
Although most ninjas are born with at least one qualitative change qualification, whether they can develop it depends on the acquired training and comprehension.
Even if it is a shinobi like Orochimaru, it is already very remarkable that he can develop more than two nature changes during the middle ninja period, and Rope Tree has just graduated and has already begun to make progress in this area, which is simply a breakthrough in Orochimaru's perception of genius once again.
Not to mention the lower ninja, even many middle ninjas are difficult to train the nature change, so even if they have the nature, they can't develop a decent ninjutsu for the rest of their lives, because they have too poor a grasp of this chakara change.
However, Orochimaru could only put these doubts aside for the time being, because it was impossible for him to interrupt the cultivation of the rope tree to inquire, and at the same time, the convoy carrying grain had now stepped out of the protection of the Fire Country, on the border.
It belongs to the three-level zone here, and it is also the most common thing to happen, so Orochimaru said solemnly: "Later, you all have to cheer up your spirits, it is very chaotic here, and there may be danger at any time, and completing this C-level task is very important for you to apply for the Zhongnin Assessment......"
Hearing Orochimaru-sensei's words, Ri even said loudly, "Yes, Orochimaru-sensei!" ”
Mai Trin was the same, and at the same time glanced at the rope tree that was still sleeping, they had already used such a loud sound, this guy was still sleeping, she didn't believe that she could sleep like this.
It's just that Rope Tree taught them the technique of shrinking the ground before, and Orochimaru obviously favors it, so that they can't disturb Rope Tree's "sleep" at all, and can only use various ways to wake him up.
"Force, Mikoto, and Rope Tree, I believe in you, so I'll hide it next, and the time will come to test your studies at the ninja school......"
After saying that, Orochimaru glanced at the rope tree that was still sleeping in the car, and then used a teleportation technique to disappear.
Riki and Mai Trin, as well as the people in the team, all looked surprised.
"Then I'm sorry for you!"
It was the employer who reacted first, and it was very polite to compliment Li and Mai Trin.
Because he knows that Konoha ninjas like to test their disciples, although they will definitely try their best to complete the task, but the intermediate danger, the death toll is not in the content of the task, they will only ensure the safety of food and the smooth delivery of the task.
Li immediately said: "Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task." ”
Mei also said solemnly to the forces beside her: "This is Orochimaru-sensei's test for us, we have to be mentally prepared." ”
Li nodded, glanced at the rope tree that was still sleeping in the car, and asked, "Do you need to wake this guy?" ”
"Humph!"
Hum!
Mikoto glanced at the rope tree that was still sleeping without a trace, and said, "Why do you need this guy's cooperation, don't you think this is an opportunity to prove our strength to Orochimaru-sensei......"
When Li heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise: "Yes, Mikoto, you are right. ”
It was at this moment that the rope tree suddenly rolled over and jumped down, while still closing his eyes, but his hand was already on the knife......
