Chapter 39 Roots
The efforts Sarutobi said were just empty talk in the end, and the will of Konoha's senior leaders was not so easily reversed.
Orochimaru didn't give up so easily, and he even went to lobby for the senior management of Konoha. Unfortunately, this time, Konoha's senior management showed a very tough attitude.
After several days of useless efforts, Orochimaru's eyes became more and more cold. He did not hide his emotional fluctuations in front of Ye Zi. It seemed that in this way, he told Ye Zi that his solution would eventually become a talk, so he was almost ready to take action in his mind.
He notified Ye Zi in this way and handed over the choice of whether to take action to Ye Zi.
From the time when his parents were both lost when they were young, Orochimaru's blood gradually became cold. It was not until he got used to life and death that the blood completely became cold. Until he met Ye Zi, there was one more person in the empty house. Before he knew it, the cold blood slowly felt a little warmer, even though 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 can put down on the weak can be easily.
For example, the injustice that is given to the body from its birth.
For example, when you open your eyes again, you will see ice rain and cold wind.
For example, if you are brought here without any resistance, you will eventually be thrown out.
That night, there was no wind or clouds, and the moon was very round and bright.
Ye Zi wore combat clothes, brought all the various ninja tools needed for the mission, and then prepared a very sumptuous meal.
The dishes are very rich, but they are basically dishes made with eggs as the main ingredients, filling the entire table.
Because Orochimaru likes eggs.
After preparing a table of food, Ye Zian sat quietly and looked at the green courtyard.
Once upon a time, there was only one lonely old tree in that courtyard, which was also Ye Zi's training place at the beginning. When Ye Zi, who was not satisfied with training in the courtyard, moved to the special training ground for Konoha, 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 the movement came from the entrance, he straightened his body and looked forward without looking sideways.
The food on the table was still steaming, which was the dish he estimated to start cooking only after he had started.
Orochimaru, who came back, did not change his furniture and clothes this time, but came to the living room in a ninja costume and looked at the table of egg-style dishes sitting slowly opposite Ye Zi.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. After a while, Orochimaru took the lead in moving the chopsticks, and Ye Zi also moved the chopsticks when he saw this.
There are only the sound of chopsticks hitting ceramic bowls and chewing food on the dining table.
I have always been silent, but I used to be, now, and probably the same in the future.
Whether it's one person or two...
Half an hour later, there was no left at all on the table, and it was always like this. Ye Zi often ate more, and his eating speed was much faster than Orochimaru. However, when the last table of dishes was finished, it happened that the two of them were full.
"I have to go now."
Ye Zi looked at the endgame on the table and was silent for a moment, then said slowly.
Orochimaru looked at a small piece of golden egg skin left on the corner of the empty dish and said coldly: "I've given you a chance."
The implication seemed to be that Ye Zi had been notified, but Ye Zi did not cherish it. Instead, he stayed to make a table of dishes waiting for him to come back.
"Ye Zi nodded calmly, then slowly stood up regardless of Orochimaru's cold expression. When he walked to the corridor, he suddenly stopped and said, "I won't clean up this time."
After saying that, he walked to the courtyard on the stone stairs, looked at the familiar courtyard, then turned around and looked at Orochimaru's side face silently, then he walked out of the wall and headed towards Konoha's gate.
He was forced to come to this place called Konoha, but when he left, he had to walk the door openly.
From beginning to end, Orochimaru just looked at the small piece of egg skin in the corner of the hollow dish and was silent. 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 was the only one left in the house in the future, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably sad.
"Is Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas? Not as good as a corner of that seat." The man with a gloomy expression said to himself coldly.
…………………
It was not yet dark, and the streets of the wood leaves were full of lights, and there was a sign of prosperity.
Ye Zi ran on the street regardless of other people's surprise gazes, unobstructed all the way, and still unstoppable when he came to Konoha Gate. After careful perception, there was no ninja who should have been guarding around Konoha Gate.
Despite his doubts, Ye Zi did not stop and ran out of the Konoha Gate and walked along the straight road extending from the gate. The trees on both sides of the road quickly retreated.
How about...
Not long after Konoha came out, Ye Zi, who was moving rapidly, suddenly braked suddenly, and a rough mark was drawn on the ground behind his heel. He stopped and stared quietly at a person in front of the road.
The bright white moonlight poured down the ground, clearly illuminating the person's appearance. A scattered black hair was tied between the forehead and squeezed into the sky. The cold face was expressionless, and there was a clear "X" scar on the chin. The bright moonlight could not isolate the cold light in the eyes.
The person who came was Shimura Danzo who controlled the "root", but Ye Zi didn't know him. His cold eyes flew from Danzo's face to the battle uniform with red tone, and finally fell to the red hilt exposed behind Danzo's shoulders, silently pulling out the thunder teeth.
His eyes were swept toward the trees on both sides of the road with a faint look, and his eyes finally focused on Danzang, slowly clenching the hilt.
He noticed that the air was faint but real murderous intent. Whether it was the person in front of him or the few people hiding in the tree, each person had a lot of lives. Moreover, the hidden means of the people on the tree were perfect, and the breathing sounds that were almost equal to insects were basically difficult to detect. With such perfect hidden means, the murderous aura that was most easily noticed was revealed. I think the murderous aura emitted was also intentional.
When Duanzang saw Ye Zi floating to the hidden place of his subordinates, his cold face was a little softer, and said, "It's very keen."
Ye Zi looked at him without saying a word.
"You want to escape?" Danzo asked.
Ye Zi was still silent, but he had already acted in an offensive posture.
Danzo seemed not to see Ye Zi's raised arms and continued, "No one can escape from Konoha from my nose. I will give you two choices, die here, or add 'root'."
"Rent?" Ye Zi, who had been silent, finally spoke.
Danzo said calmly: "Root is the root of Konoha, which you can understand as a specialized training for the enemy of Anbu."
"Why?" Ye Zi looked at him.
Danzo smiled coldly and said, "You have enough ability to make me pay attention to it. Sarutobi can't protect you, and Orochimaru can't protect you, but I can."
