The two people's overt and covert quarrels along the way made everyone in the team a little annoyed.
But there is one thing to say. In many cases, Naruto cannot be blamed. Sai, who is from the Anbu, probably does not deal with others very much. Every time he speaks, his tone is extremely calm but very lethal. Many times, it is not as simple as indifference. , even to Qi Zhen, it sounded like he was openly provoking the other party. It was no wonder that Naruto, with his violent temper, could not control himself.
The interior of Konoha has never been monolithic. If this were not the case, powerful ninjas such as Uchiha Madara, Obito, Itachi, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and Yakushi Kabuto would not have defected from the village, even if they were still in the village. , there are also hawks like Danzo who are always plotting evil.
But this does not prevent Konoha ninjas, especially the students who graduate from the ninja school, from still having the greatest goodwill towards Konoha and even the villagers in the village.
It can be said that no matter how long a person has been away from Konoha, and how long it has been since two people saw each other, they can completely trust that the other person will not betray them when they meet again.
This is probably what the Third Hokage said, that where there are flying leaves, fire will continue to grow.
Therefore, even if Naruto has extremely strong feelings of resistance to him, he will not really regard Sai as an enemy, but he is just not a friend yet.
In the border villages between the Country of Fire and the Country of Grass, a group of eight people enjoyed a seafood feast and a private hot spring. They hit the road again the next day and entered the sphere of influence of the Grass Ninja Village.
The environment of Kusanagi Village is actually not much different from that of Kawa no Kuni, with a lot of grass and vegetation. The difference between the two is that the proportion of tall trees here is obviously much smaller, so there are also many winding paths in the forest. And here because Because there were fewer water veins, the terrain was not too complicated. The eight people moved forward with less caution and more carefreeness.
With Saisada's Sharingan in play, they don't have to worry about being undetected by enemies around them, not to mention Yamato's wood escape ability is extremely miraculous, and it works best in a place like this. They don't have to worry about being attacked by the people of Kusanagi Village. Discover whereabouts.
Soon, everyone arrived near the Tianchi Bridge. The next day, they were going to meet the spies who were connecting with Xie. According to Yamato's idea, they should conduct a drill here in case something unexpected happens tomorrow.
The four of Qi Zhen, who already knew the development of the subsequent plot, were naturally not worried, but they also would not make excessive demands not to participate in the drill. However, when it came time for the drill, Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng discovered something very embarrassing.
That is, in the original plot, Yamato was supposed to face the spies alone, while Naruto and three people attacked from behind, but now there are seven.
this……
No matter from which angle you look at it, this person is indeed a bit too much.
This means that this part of the plot is destined to develop in an unpredictable direction.
And Sai Zhen is very clear that Sai is not only a spy sent by Danzo to lurk in the seventh edition, but also has an even more important task to connect him with Orochimaru. He is actually playing the role of a double agent. .
Then there is a high probability that the two sides fighting will be the four members of Saizada's team plus Yamato and Sakura, dealing with Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto. If Naruto is added to the unstable factor, it will be difficult to say after one plus and one minus. .
Everyone's practice went without any problems.
That night, under the magical power of Yamato's Wood Release, the group of people moved into the wild a little far away from the Tianchi Bridge. It was hard to imagine how Yamato was able to build this towering three-story wooden building in a blink of an eye.
After everyone found their own rooms to stay, Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng found Naruto who was about to rest.
"What's the matter?" Naruto smiled and welcomed the two in.
"That's right." Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng sat on the floor, pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought that the enemy we face this time may be an acquaintance of yours."
"Of course, but this time I finally got the news about Sasuke. I really don't want to miss him again."
When Naruto heard this, he thought he understood what Qi Zhen meant, and said with a sad look in his eyes.
Qi Zhen sighed in her heart, but didn't know how to explain it to him, and hesitated for a moment.
Liang Sicheng said at this moment: "Let me tell you clearly, if you see Orochimaru appear this time, will you lose control of your emotions?"
Naruto raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Liang Sicheng with his sky blue eyes, and then lowered his head: "I don't know either."
"The key is that you are not afraid of losing control of your emotions. What you are afraid of is that the guy in your body will come out and cause trouble." Liang Sicheng continued.
Naruto's face darkened again: "It turns out you are as afraid of me as everyone else."
Qi Zhen quickly shook her head: "No, no, the main thing is that if that guy in your belly pops out, we won't be able to deal with him."
"What should we do?" Naruto asked confused.
"How about this, if you do as I say, I will ensure that you can see Sasuke?" Qi Zhen suddenly asked.
"But... we still don't know who the other party is contacting?" Seeing Qi Zhen say this, Naruto became even more confused.
"Ahem..." Qi Zhen knew that she had said a bit too much, so she hurriedly coughed twice to cover up.
"Did you know something and didn't tell me?!" Naruto was anxious and stretched out his hand to shake Qi Zhen's shoulder.
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly and was speechless.
"Do you know that we have some special abilities, probably similar to predicting the future? Anyway, don't ask so many questions. I will tell you when it's time to let you know, I promise, but before that, you still listen to our arrangements, okay?" Liang Sicheng said.
Naruto pondered for a long time and finally nodded.
After returning to Qi Zhen's room, Liang Sicheng sighed helplessly: "If you insist on taking over this matter yourself, aren't you afraid that we won't be able to defeat him? You must know that Orochimaru is at his peak, and his fighting ability is not inferior to that of Payne."
"There is no way. I don't know how the system will act in this battle. The key is that once Naruto goes berserk, I'm afraid not any of us can suppress him." Qi Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't you have the Sharingan?" Liang Sicheng asked next.
"I'm not sure, mainly because I don't know what accident will happen when the time comes. After all, Zhang Chi has no fighting ability. We always have to protect his personal safety first," Qi Zhen said.
"Then..." Liang Sicheng was about to continue, but was interrupted by Qi Zhen reaching out.
"I know what you want to say, but the problem is that we don't know enough about Zhang Chi." Qi Zhen said.
"Just like Nuolan and the others?" Liang Sicheng suddenly realized.
Qi Zhen nodded.
"Since you have thought so thoroughly, then just do as you say." Liang Sicheng said.
There was no words all night, and at noon the next day, everyone gathered not far from the Tiandi Bridge.
Yamato had already imitated Scorpion's puppet and voice perfectly based on Sakura's description. At this time, he had transformed into Scorpion, wearing a bamboo hat with the wind chimes tinkling on his head.
He walked slowly towards the Tiandi Bridge, dragging a long trail behind him.
Taking Yamato's raised hand as a signal, once he raised his thumb, others would swarm over and catch the spy instantly.
The sun hung high in the sky, and a hooded figure slowly walked down from the opposite side.
His steps were slightly panicked, which was completely different from Yamato's calmness as he marched.
The two met for the first time in the center of the bridge and stood facing each other.
"You know I hate waiting for others the most." Yamato said, his voice low and sinister.
"I'm sorry, Lord Scorpion, it's not easy to escape from Orochimaru's side." The figure under the black hood spoke slowly.
"Are you still pretending in front of me? Take off your hat!" Yamato said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, Lord Scorpion." The man in black reached out and took off the hood on his head.
A pair of short silver hair appeared in front of everyone, and of course the iconic round-framed glasses were indispensable.
Except for the four members of the team, everyone in Konoha was shocked.
Probably none of them could have imagined that the spy placed by Orochimaru by Scorpion was actually Kabuto Yakushi who defected from Konoha Village after the Chuunin Exams.
"Long time no see." Kabuto said.
"Do you have any information you want to tell me?" Yamato suppressed the shock in his heart and his tone did not change at all.
Rustling... rustling...
Calm footsteps sounded again from the opposite side, surprising Yamato again.
"Who is it?" he said.
"Ara ala~" The voice that no matter who heard it once could never be forgotten sounded slowly, and a figure wearing a kimono appeared in front of everyone.
His long hair is flowing, his face is feminine, he wears snake-shaped earrings on his ears, and two fangs are exposed from behind his lips. The most distinctive thing is his eyes, which are not only long and narrow, but also have a vertical line in the pupil. It has an extremely coquettish and strange aura.
His skin was light blue, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but his tone was gentle, like a poisonous snake.
He is a poisonous snake.
His name is Orochimaru.
"Do it, Kabuto." He said slowly with a strange smile.
From the moment he saw Orochimaru, Yamato secretly screamed "bad" in his heart. However, compared to the word "bad", he was more shocked in his heart.
Why does Orochimaru appear here? !
He knew how much he weighed, and against one of the three ninjas of Konoha in front of him, he would only be beaten!
Even if Sakura and Naruto were added, even if there were four Qi Zhen, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
This innate fear is integrated into his bone marrow, because his birth and his wood escape ability were originally modified by Orochimaru using the genes of the first Hokage during his experiment. From this perspective, even if Orochimaru is There was no problem that Maru was his father.
How could he fight with the opponent without feeling any pressure at all? !
How dare he! ?
This kind of shock made him unable to realize what Orochimaru meant at that moment, but this moment was enough.
A palm wrapped with sharp chakra instantly appeared in front of Yamato, and with a bang, it destroyed the puppet he had built with Wooden Release!
