Scourge of Naruto

A few days later.

The change of wind direction is often so sudden and hasty. Faced with the aggressiveness of Iwa Ninja, Konoha, which was almost on the verge of compromise, suddenly rejected Iwa Ninja's ridiculous request with a tough attitude. At this point, the fuse that triggered the war was shortened, and thus buried. Foreshadowing.

Hokage's office.

Sarutobi leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He was very tired, both mentally and physically... When the sudden change of Konoha's top management and the news of Ye Zi entering the 'root' were sent to him, he suddenly thought of a lot, That's why I feel tired.

His index finger stretched out habitually, but it just rested quietly on the table. His eyes slowly opened, revealing a cold edge. The wrinkles etched by time at the corners of his eyes also expanded. He looked at the quiet and deserted office in silence. Silent.

You can't force everything. After a long time, he sighed softly. That night, Orochimaru gave up killing Ye Zi, and he had no intention of forcing Ye Zi to stay. Subconsciously, he also hoped that Ye Zi could leave Konoha. , so at the right time, he ordered the people in charge of the guards not to stop Ye Zi. However, in the end, Ye Zi still couldn't leave, but he didn't need to hand it over as a compromise to Konoha, but he joined the 'root'

Why add root?

Based on this problem, Sarutobi thought a lot, and even thought about the possible impact in the future. However, now he can only watch quietly, silently waiting for the transformation that Ye Zi will undergo after joining Gen. Is it good or bad? There is no way to know.

In the 34th year of Konoha, characters such as Kakashi and Akai were born one after another.

On this day, 'Root' welcomed a new member who was only twelve years old. This was not unusual for 'Root', which often recruits younger members. Talented people often need a more favorable nurturing environment, and 'Root' As the ANBU training department, it can provide the best training environment for anyone in Konoha.

The first thing to do when entering the root is to update the identity information, which is an assessment of one's own level.

Ta-ta-ta...

There was a crisp sound of footsteps in the dimly lit passage. This is an indispensable place in the ANBU training department. Just as the department is named after its roots, the location is buried under Konoha, just like the roots are rooted in the soil of Konoha. , continuously transporting nutrients to the leaves.

Ye Zi silently followed the person responsible for leading the way and testing ahead, walking in the dimly lit passage. The torches on the wall made a slight sizzling sound, and the dim firelight cast a long shadow on the floor.

After turning a corner, the leader stopped in front of an iron door. When Ye Zi saw this, he also stopped and looked at him silently.

The leader turned around, looked at Ye Zi coldly, and said in a very cold tone: There are three main tests. After you complete the first one, I will tell you the second one. Now, when you enter this room, I will tell you the specific matters. Let me know when you enter the room.

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron door slowly opened with an unpleasant creaking sound.

Ye Zi walked into the room without saying a word. A dazzling light fell from the sky, illuminating the entire room as bright as day. There were a large number of shurikens scattered in the air close to the wall, as if time had stopped. It was frozen in mid-air, emitting a dazzling cold light under the light.

Ye Zi squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the shurikens around him. He vaguely understood what the first test was, but the number seemed a bit too much. In other words, this test carries certain risks. If you are not careful, it is very possible. A mistake was submerged in the shuriken. It's no wonder that the person in charge of the test did not inform the main contents of the three tests at once. If the first test failed, there would be no need to conduct the second test.

At this time, a bright voice suddenly sounded in the empty room, it was the voice of the person who led him here.

Go to the middle.

After hearing this, Ye Zi silently walked to the middle of the room, and the most dazzling beam of light was focused on where he was.

The voice continued: Have you seen the shurikens around you? This is the first test. It mainly tests your reaction ability and dodge ability. I will activate the switch after the countdown of three seconds. At that time, the shurikens around you will A volley will be fired at where you are. You can use kunai, jump, crouch, or lie on the ground, but you cannot leave the range of the beam, and you cannot use ninjutsu. If you understand, raise your right hand.

After listening to the narration, Ye Zi's eyes changed slightly. He lowered his head and glanced at the area where the beam of light was projected at his feet. The diameter was only about one meter, which was not small, but judging from the number of shurikens, it would probably be able to fill the entire area by then. .

Is this really a test?

He frowned slightly and did not raise his right hand, but silently stared at the area covered by the beam. The people in the observation room also looked at Ye Zi patiently. After turning off the loudspeaker, the man looked at the middle-aged man standing quietly next to him and asked, I have not received any special training but I am doing this for the first time. Facing such a difficult test, he is likely to die, even if there are medical ninjas on standby.

The middle-aged man was Danzo. Through a five-finger-wide gap, he looked down at Ye Zi, who was silent at the bottom of the room with his head lowered. After a moment, he slowly said: How do you think he survived the sharp sword of Yun Nin Jiu Xiao? How did you successfully break out of the encirclement when surrounded by Iwa Ninja and Gray Ninja?

The man was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't explain it until more than ten seconds passed.

Danzo continued to look at the silent Ye Zi, and said slowly: He is not from the Hyuga family, nor from the Uchiha family, but I think his eyes are very good, so he can survive Jiu Xiao's sword. , can also successfully break through in a dangerous situation where it is almost impossible to break out. Since the eyes are so good, a test of this level is nothing.

After hearing this, the man still couldn't explain why. Are his eyes good? Even if there is basis, it seems difficult to be sure. So, what if this guess is untrue?

He looked at Ye Zi with a trace of pity. The hidden weapon launching device in the room was set to the highest difficulty. Even if he had trained countless times in this room, there was no guarantee that he would be safe.

The number of shurikens is between hundreds. Under the condition of limited range, moving left and right can only be used in the first few seconds, because when all the shurikens are fired, the ground within the range will It will be covered by shurikens, so after moving left and right to dodge some shurikens, you can only choose to fly into the air, and then adjust your body in the air to dodge shurikens one after another. There should be no lag in the connection of any movement. , and cannot make any mistakes, even if the mistake is very trivial, unless the pain tolerance is very strong.

Moving first and then flying is the most standard way to deal with it. However, can Ye Zi, who has not experienced similar training, rely on his so-called good eyes to judge in just a moment?

The man shook his head slightly, and the pity in his eyes gradually faded. He put his hand on the switch and waited patiently for Ye Zi to raise his right hand. No matter what, he had reason to wait patiently for Ye Zi to finish observing the room, even if Ye Zi now just Staring into the scope of the beam was silent.

I hope you can pass, the kid that Danzo-sama attaches great importance to. The man thought silently, and then, he saw Ye Zi finally starting to look at the direction where the shurikens scattered all over the wall were aiming. Each direction seemed to only look at He glanced away and looked away.

Huh? Both that man and Danzo noticed this detail, and began to ponder a little. They were not allowed to think too much, but they saw that Ye Zi only glanced around and showed signs of raising his hand.

When Danzang saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He seemed to have noticed another advantage of Ye Zi.
