Scourge of Naruto

Chapter 39 Roots

The efforts Sarutobi mentioned were just empty talk in the end, and the will of Konoha's top brass was not so easily reversed.

Orochimaru did not give up so easily. He even went to lobby the top management of Konoha. Unfortunately, in this decision, the top management of Konoha showed a very tough stance.

After several days of useless work, Orochimaru's eyes became colder and colder, and he did not hide his mood swings in front of Ye Zi. He seemed to be telling Ye Zi in this way that his ideas would eventually become empty talk, so he was thinking We are almost ready to take action.

He informed Ye Zi in this way and left the choice of whether to take action to Ye Zi.

Since the death of his parents when he was young, Orochimaru's blood gradually became cold. It wasn't until he got used to seeing life and death that his blood completely cooled down. It wasn't until he met Ye Zi, until there was one more person in the empty house. Unknowingly, The cold blood gradually gained a touch of warmth, even though his expression and eyes were so cold.

There are always so many helpless things in the world...

For example, a strong person casually sets fire to a weak person.

Such as the injustice given to the body from birth.

For example, when I opened my eyes again, I saw ice rain and cold wind.

For example, if someone is brought here without any resistance, they will be thrown out casually in the end.

That night, there was no wind or cloud, and the moon was very round and bright.

Ye Zi wore combat attire, brought all the ninja tools needed for the mission, and then prepared a sumptuous meal.

The dishes are rich, but most of them are made with eggs as the main ingredient, occupying the entire table.

Because Orochimaru likes eggs.

After preparing a table of meals, Ye Zian sat quietly, looking sideways at the green courtyard.

Once, there was only a solitary old tree in that courtyard, which was also Ye Zi's initial training place. But when Ye Zi, who was not satisfied with training in the courtyard, moved to Konoha's special training ground, the courtyard gradually expanded. Some plants and flowers, until now, it has become a qualified courtyard, with flowers and grass.

He sat in silence for a while, until there was movement from the entrance, he straightened his body and looked straight ahead.

The food on the table was still steaming, and it was something he started cooking only after he had estimated the time.

Orochimaru, who came back, did not change into furniture clothes before coming here this time. Instead, he came to the living room in a standard ninja costume and slowly sat down opposite Ye Zi while looking at a table of egg dishes.

The two looked at each other in silence. 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 at the dinner table was the sound of chopsticks hitting ceramic bowls and chewing food.

He has always been a man of words, before, now, and probably in the future.

Whether it's one person or two people...

Half an hour later, there were no dishes left on the table. This was always the case. Ye Zi usually ate more, and he ate much faster than Orochimaru. But when the last dish was finished, Ye Zi ate more. time, which happens to be when both of them are full.

I have to go now.

Ye Zi looked at the mess on the table in silence for a moment, and then said slowly.

Orochimaru looked at the small piece of golden egg skin left on the corner of the empty plate and said coldly: I gave you a chance.

The implication seemed to be that Ye Zi had been notified, but Ye Zi did not cherish it. Instead, he stayed and cooked a table of dishes waiting for him to come back.

Yes. Ye Zi nodded calmly, and then ignored Orochimaru's stern expression, slowly stood up, and suddenly stopped when he walked to the corridor and said, I won't take care of it this time.

After saying that, he walked up the stone steps to the courtyard, glanced at the familiar courtyard, then turned his head and silently glanced at Orochimaru's side face, then jumped over the wall and headed towards the gate of Konoha.

He was forced to come to this place called Konoha, but when he left, he had to go through the gate openly.

From beginning to end, Orochimaru just stared at the small piece of egg skin in the corner of the empty plate in silence. A few days ago, he said he wanted to kill Ye Zi. A few days later, the time had come, but he didn't know why he couldn't do it.

Thinking that he would be the only one left in this house in the future, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas? Not even a fraction of that position. The man with a cold expression said coldly to himself.

……………

It was still dark at night, and the streets of Konoha were lit up with hundreds of lights, giving off a hint of prosperity.

Ye Zi ignored the surprised looks of others and ran on the street. The journey was smooth and unobstructed until he came to the gate of Konoha. There was still no one blocking him. After careful inspection, there was no ninja who should have been guarding the gate of Konoha. .

Despite his doubts, Ye Zi did not stop and ran out of the Konoha gate and followed the straight road extending from the gate. The trees on both sides of the road receded quickly.

Hey…

Not long after leaving Konoha, Ye Zi, who was speeding, suddenly stopped suddenly and his heels drew a rough trace on the ground. When he stopped, he quietly stared at a person in front of the road.

The bright white moonlight poured over the ground, clearly illuminating the face of the man. His scattered black hair was pushed up to the sky by a forehead protector tied between his forehead. His stern face was expressionless, with an obvious X on his chin. Scars and bright moonlight could not isolate the cold light in those eyes.

The person coming was Shimura Danzo, who controlled the root, but Ye Zi didn't recognize him. His cold eyes swept from Danzo's face to the red-based combat uniform, and finally fell on the red sword exposed from behind Danzo's shoulder. handle, and silently pulled out the Thunder Fang.

His eyes swept vaguely towards the trees on both sides of the road, and finally focused on Danzo, slowly gripping the handle of the knife.

He noticed a faint but substantial murderous aura in the air. Whether it was the person in front of him or the few people hiding in the tree, everyone definitely had a lot of lives in their hands. Moreover, the people in the tree had perfect hiding methods. The breathing sound, which is almost the same as that of an insect, is basically difficult to detect. With such a perfect hiding method, it leaks out the most easily detectable murderous aura. It seems that the murderous aura emitted is also intentional.

Danzo saw Ye Zi floating towards where his subordinates were hiding, his stern face softened slightly, and he said, Very keen.

Ye Zi looked at him without saying a word.

You want to escape? Danzo asked.

Ye Zi remained silent, but had already assumed an offensive stance.

Danzo seemed not to see Ye Zi's raised arm, and continued: No one can escape Konoha from under my eyes. I give you two choices, die here, or join the 'root'.

Gen? Ye Zi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

Danzo said calmly: The root is the root of Konoha. You can understand it as the enemy who specializes in training ANBU.

Why? Ye Zi looked at him.

Danzo smiled coldly and said, You have enough ability for me to value you. Sarutobi 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 Konoha White Fang who cannot be recruited now, Ye Zi is still in a period of rapid growth.
