the next day.
Early in the morning, Bai Yu walked into the gate of Konoha with his head in his arms and his messy hair.
The ninjas at the gate knew that he was a disciple of Orochimaru and had the privilege of entering and leaving Konoha at will, so they did not let him register.
Bai Yu's relationship with Green Snake has gradually heated up recently, and he has received a lot of blood.
The green snake also allowed Bai Yu to pull out one of its scales.
Based on the energy field fluctuations of the scales and several tests, the green snake's scales can be used to make more powerful magical items.
After more than a dozen failed experiments, Bai Yu finally made two strings of magic item necklaces, and planned to give one to Kushina when she came back, otherwise he would just sleep in the laboratory.
In recent days, Bai Yu has been making magical items during the day.
Orochimaru went to the laboratory in the evening, and the two continued cell experiments. They had been doing this for several nights, and their sleep time was greatly compressed.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Kushina for several days, and she would probably be angry if he didn't come back.
Bai Yu will definitely be sent home to wash up before going to see Kushina.
However, when he returned home, he found Kushina huddled on the sofa holding a cat pillow.
"Kushina? Why are you here so early?"
Bai Yu was stunned for a moment.
After graduation, he gave Kushina a key to his home. Sometimes when he was not at home, Kushina would come early, but it was only six o'clock, so it was too early.
"Keep calm and tell him what you encountered last night in a very calm tone. Boys like strong girls. Don't act soft..."
In the sealed space, Kyuubi was teaching Kushina how to express herself. However, before it finished speaking, Kushina jumped up from the sofa and jumped on Bai Yu's body, using her hands and feet to wrap around his body.
Bai Yu dragged Kushina's buttocks and patted her back gently: "I haven't showered for two days. I'm so dirty. Come down here!"
At this time, Kushina raised her head and looked at him pitifully, with a grievance in her voice: "White Feather~"
"What's wrong?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and sat on the sofa with Kushina in his arms: "Did something happen?"
"Yes." Kushina got off Bai Yu and recounted to Bai Yu what happened last night.
"What?! Are you kidnapped?" Bai Yu was shocked when he heard that Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure's ninjas. He reached out and grabbed Kushina's wrist, rolled up her sleeves, and saw the triple [barrier] sealed 】The magic bracelet of the spell is intact and the spell is not triggered.
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Then what!?"
"Then I relied on the help of the Nine Lamas...that is, the Nine Tails, to break free from the rope and kill one, and I caught the other two." Kushina continued, selectively ignoring the wave of feng shui. door thing.
"Are ANBU just for a living? Even if no one is monitoring you 24 hours a day now, you won't be kidnapped by Kumogakure's ninjas and taken to the border without being discovered, right?! Unless they deliberately..." Bai Yu said with a sullen face , he reacted mid-sentence.
"Yeah." Kushina nodded.
Sure enough, Bai Yu was much smarter than her and figured it out immediately.
If Kyuubi hadn't reminded her, she would still be too stupid to figure it out.
"You~!" Bai Yu poked Kushina's forehead hard, "Aren't you very powerful when you bully me? How come you were easily subdued when you met three weak Jōnin?!"
After Bai Yu was promoted to a third-class apprentice, his magic power and spiritual power have increased significantly. Although he has been busy with experiments recently and has not had time to learn powerful spells, he is now an elite jounin.
Even if he is not as good as the Sannin and White Fang, compared with his previous team leader Shuichi Oshima, the gap should not be big. It is estimated that there is some gap in combat experience.
When training recently, he still couldn't get any advantage from Kushina.
The main reason is that the compatibility between "Red Dragon Tribulation" and Kushina is too high, plus the nine-tailed chakra, Bai Yu will be exhausted by her after a long battle.
In normal sparring, he wouldn't be able to play dirty tricks or use magic to attack at close range.
Being able to be killed instantly by Kushina, it was obvious that Kumogakure's three jounin were not the top ones.
"Who knew they would ambush me at my home."
Kushina rubbed her red forehead.
"Bai Yu, what should I do in the future?"
Bai Yu did not give an answer, but asked: "What are you going to do?"
Kushina was silent for a long time, then suddenly said:
"I want to return to the Kingdom of Whirlpool."
"The Kingdom of Whirlpool has been destroyed." Bai Yu said solemnly.
"Didn't you say that even if the land is lost, people will survive? Even though the Kingdom of Whirlpool is gone, there are still people from the Whirlpool clan. As long as they are here, the Kingdom of Whirlpool will still be there!"
Kushina looked a little disappointed.
"For people who have subjugated their country, the living environment in Konoha is very good. You, sister Tsunade, and brother Naoki are all very kind to me, but after all, Konoha is not my home, and I have always been an outsider."
Bai Yu asked: "This experience has reduced your sense of belonging to Konoha, but have you ever thought that if Teacher Tsunade or Teacher Orochimaru becomes the Fourth Hokage in the future, you will not encounter such a situation again?" It's a matter of time. At that time, do you still want to leave?"
"The tribesmen living outside don't know what kind of life they are leading. I feel it is my responsibility to rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool!"
Kushina's expression suddenly became determined.
Bai Yu frowned: "This road is not easy to walk."
"But... I want to give it a try." Kushina saw that Bai Yu's face was not very good, and her momentum became a little weaker.
"Just trying?"
"No! I have decided!" Kushina shook her head and regained her determination.
"Okay! I'll help you!" Bai Yu suddenly smiled: "Who asked me to owe you so much money? I'm afraid it's no longer possible to get off the pirate ship now."
"White Feather~" Kushina had tears in her eyes.
"There is still a long way to go before we can rebuild the Kingdom of Whirlpool." Bai Yu reminded.
He suddenly felt that this experience might not be a bad thing for Kushina. She seemed to have grown a lot overnight.
Even if Tsunade and Orochimaru come to power and allow Kushina to leave Konoha and re-establish the Kingdom of Whirlpool, will the other ninjas in the village agree?
And can those countries that destroyed the Whirlpool Country sit idly by and ignore it?
This road is difficult!
But for Kushina, Bai Yu is willing to give it a try.
"I understand." Kushina nodded, with a distressed expression: "But can Konoha let me go? The Nine Lamas still belong to Konoha..."
"I'm not from Konoha!" Kyuubi in the sealed space protested angrily.
"I'm sorry! I said it wrong, it's yours and mine."
Kushina quickly changed her tune.
"Hmph!" Kyuubi snorted disdainfully, but did not refute.
Bai Yu asked: "Did Kyuubi come to Konoha voluntarily?"
Kushina was startled and shook her head: "No"
"It was forcibly captured by the first generation! You don't need to be stronger than the first generation, as long as you are stronger than everyone in Konoha. If it doesn't work, then you release the Nine-Tails and let the third generation ask it, is it Would you like to stay in Konoha, or come with you?"
Bai Yu continued.
Kushina clenched her hands into fists and said determinedly: "I will practice hard!"
"The Knight's Breathing Technique can greatly enhance your explosive ability in the early stage. You should not be far from the level of a great knight now, right?"
"I feel like I'm about to break through."
Kushina nodded, the breathing method and the nine-tails chakra are really a perfect match.
Hearing this, Bai Yu activated his innate spell, reached out to touch Kushina's body, and used chakra to sense it.
"Hmm~"
"Don't make strange noises, I'm giving you a serious physical examination!"
Bai Yu said seriously.
"But it's very itchy there, ah~" Kushina shrank and clamped Bai Yu's hand.
...
After checking his body, Bai Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"According to calculations, you will be able to break through to the level of a great knight in about a year. However, you should not practice the breathing method with all your strength for the time being. First, focus on the sealing technique and the practice of the Nine-Tails Chakra."
"Why? After breaking through to the Great Knight, won't my strength be greatly improved? The Kumogakure Jōnin I met yesterday was killed by my full-strength punch." Kushina was a little puzzled.
"The sealing technique and Nine-Tails Chakra are the foundation of your strength, and I am ready to let you make a perfect breakthrough."
Bai Yu explained.
He is conducting a fusion experiment on snake bloodlines. The green snake's bloodline source is very strong. Although it does not reach the third level, according to the derivation of "Super Brain Deduction", it is definitely first-rate among the second level and is used in the "Red Dragon Tribulation" The breakthrough is more than enough. However, Bai Yu hopes to wait a little longer and find the giant fire-attributed snake.
"Perfect breakthrough?"
"Yes, bathing in the blood of special creatures can maximize the power of "Red Dragon Tribulation". I think back then..."
"in those days?"
"Anyway, don't worry, I will prepare it for you."
"Um!"
Kushina nodded heavily and did not ask any more questions.
She believes in Bai Yu!
