Dark night covers the earth. If the weather in the anime world is not deliberately created to create an atmosphere, most of the time it will be cloudless and good weather, and here is of course no exception.
The stars in the sky were bright, which directly caused the entire temporary camp they had set up to be filled with white light. A full moon hung in the sky like a huge light bulb, giving off a somewhat quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Orochimaru's stronghold is deep underground and intricately interconnected. You can't feel the weirdness at all on the ground, and you can occasionally hear the chirping of insects.
Qi Zhen suddenly remembered a game term that had disappeared from her mind for a long time - copy.
Or these underground facilities are like dungeons to everyone, and before entering the dungeon, the entire environment will be as peaceful as it is now.
Originally a team of eight, Saai followed Orochimaru, and Naruto was put into the human race bag by Sai Zhen. It seemed that he did not intend to release Sasuke before he found him.
Although there were only six people left in the group, it was still necessary to arrange for someone to stay on duty at night. Originally, Yamato wanted to keep an eye on him all night. With his wood escape ability, staying up all night did not put much pressure on him.
In the end, Qi Zhen strongly suggested that we change to three shifts, with Yamato at the front and Qi Zhen in the middle.
The direct result of the two-way growth of Sharingan and mental power is that Qi Zhen hardly needs to sleep.
Without using the Sharingan ability, his mental recovery speed has reached a terrifying level.
What concept?
After the mentally draining battle with Orochimaru, his mental energy loss had actually reached a very terrifying level. At the same time, the sharpness of the Kusanagi sword also caused some damage to his abdomen. However, even with such a strong body, His recovery speed cannot compare with the recovery speed of his mental power.
Under normal circumstances, just being in a daze for ten minutes a day can restore your mental energy to a full state.
This time he spent four hours, and even though he didn't rest and sleep specifically, he felt a hundred times more energetic.
Naturally, Qi Zhen would not tell Yamato his secret, but there was no need to pretend that he wanted to rest. After everyone rested, he used the excuse that he was not sleepy to sit down next to Yamato, and the two of them gathered around the bonfire. Chatted.
"Actually, I have always known the fear in your heart towards Orochimaru." Qi Zhen suddenly said.
"Ah..." There was a trace of sadness on Yamato's face, and the sound was more like a sigh.
"Don't worry so much. After all, you have the genes of the First Hokage, right?" Qi Zhen continued.
"Actually, my feelings for Orochimaru are very complicated." Yamato said.
Qi Zhen said nothing and patted his shoulder.
"I feel like you guys know everything." Yamato changed the subject.
"Ask the Fifth Hokage, she is probably confused as well." Qi Zhen said with a smile.
"Who are you..." Yamato looked at Qi Zhen with a little guilty conscience.
"We...just think of us as gods." Qi Zhen still smiled.
Yamato knew he was joking, but he didn't know that Qi Zhen was thinking that maybe for the NPCs in these games, these people on his side might be no different from gods.
"You came to talk to me specifically when I was on night watch. Do you have something to tell me?" Yamato suddenly said.
Qi Zhen admired his keenness very much and did not hide it, nodding.
The topic between the two finally moved from chatting to the main topic.
"That's right, I hope you can apply for retirement with Hokage-sama after you resolve this matter." Qi Zhen stated her request in a nonchalant manner.
"This..." Yamato was stunned, "Why?"
Qi Zhenxin said that I can't say that the Akatsuki organization will abduct you before the Ninja World War, and then use your genes to create a large army of Zetsu, so that the team will not be able to find Zetsu and prevent the Ninja World War from happening.
But he opened his mouth and said: "I told you before, everything we do is to prevent the entire world from being destroyed. Of course, this is also for your safety."
Yamato still didn't understand.
Judging from the guide given by the Wisdom Tree, if the team just solves the problem according to the plot, they may not miss every important time node in the entire Naruto. However, the ultimate goal of this game is to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki and obtain The victory of the Ninja World War prevented the realization of the Eye of the Moon plan.
So theoretically speaking, as long as the Ninja War begins, the space left for the team to complete the main mission will become extremely small, and it will be difficult for the team to complete side missions, because all the ninjas in the world are fighting for Ninja. We strive to achieve the goal of world war.
So if this dispute can be ended in advance, or even the Fourth Ninja War can be turned into a puddle in the brewing stage, it will be an irresistible temptation for Qi Zhen.
This was true for Yakushi Kabuto's assassination, and the same was true for protecting Yamato.
"But I always have to obey Hokage-sama's orders." Yamato did not refuse in a hurry, but began to blame.
"Tsunade-sama, I'll tell you, you just need to know that your existence, or the existence of the wood escape gene in your body, has an irreplaceable role for our enemies." Qi Zhen didn't do it either. Forced him, but ordered.
"I remember." Yamato nodded.
"What will the ninja world look like in the future?" Yamato asked.
For some reason, he always felt that Qi Zhen should know those things.
"The future..." Qi Zhen thought of the ending of this story, which was of course the ending before "Boruto".
"The atmosphere is pure and upright, the whole world is at peace, and the five major countries have worked together to build a world that is not perfect, but very beautiful," Qi Zhen said.
"That's really a world that makes people yearn for it." Yamato looked hopeful.
However, he did not notice that behind Qi Zhen, the top of a golden scepter was emitting a glistening green light.
Yamato slowly closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, not knowing what kind of dream he fell into.
Qi Zhen sighed, stopped pretending to be relaxed in front of the other party, and her face gradually became serious.
Talking about the future with the other person is one thing, but letting Yamato relax and sleep peacefully is even more important.
In fact, not long after they arrived here, a feeling like a ray of light lingered around Qi Zhen.
There are people here.
Of course he wasn't from Orochimaru, otherwise they would have started fighting long ago. He often brought this feeling to others, and it was no stranger to Zizhen.
That feeling that couldn't be called evil but was absolutely powerful could only be brought to him by the Sharingan.
Qi Zhen walked quickly in the direction she felt.
"Don't pretend to be asleep, just keep an eye on this place."
After Qi Zhen left, Zhaka and Liang Sicheng opened their eyes together and sat up.
They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"This money maniac, let me tell you, it is impossible for him to follow the strategy in peace and quiet." After listening to the conversation between Qi Zhen and Yamato, Liang Sicheng showed a confident expression.
"Both he and Lin Shuai are peaceful." He was a little angry.
Zhaka said nothing, waved to him, and then pointed to several other people.
"Since he asked the two of us to get up, he was sure that the others couldn't get up. Otherwise, do you think he can leave with peace of mind?" Liang Sicheng rolled his eyes.
Sure enough, even if Liang Sicheng spoke so loudly, the others had no intention of waking up.
"Oh." Zhaka nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Don't you have any ideas?!" Liang Sicheng said.
"No." Zaka shook his head.
Liang Sicheng snorted and gathered his energy.
About one kilometer away from where everyone was stationed, there was a huge boulder standing on the ground. The top of the boulder was narrow, like an inverted thumbtack.
In fact, there are many upside-down thumbtacks like this here, and Qi Zhen, who went to high school, is naturally familiar with them.
Wind-eroded landforms.
On the dark side behind the boulder, a man sat on the ground, his blood-red eyes looking at Qi Zhen who appeared in front of him.
"After seeing him, you should be able to believe me." Qi Zhen spread her hands, "But what I didn't expect is that you actually came all the way here in person. Why, you are not afraid that the situation will become worse." It’s complicated, if he sees you, I’m afraid this place will be destroyed by both of you.”
"My incompetent brother always needs me to see him in person before I can feel at ease." Itachi's eyes softened a little and he spoke softly.
"Why pretend to be indifferent and let him hate you? You must know that many things are not based on your own will." Qi Zhen shook her head and said helplessly.
"Although you have allowed me to see many things that may happen in the future, it does not mean that I will completely trust you, so it is better not to say such things." Itachi glanced at Qi Zhen coldly and said. reminded.
"I just want to tell you that many things have historical limitations. Since the past cannot be changed, the future must still be written by the people of the present." Qi Zhen's tone did not soften because of Itachi's words. Instead, he said almost pointedly to Maimang, "What happened that year, whether from your father or from the perspective of Konoha's high-level officials, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, but that matter is not impossible. Avoid it, I just don’t want to see your brothers fighting each other and meeting each other in life and death. There may be better solutions to many things."
What Sai Zhen was talking about was naturally the matter of Danzo sending Itachi, who was still an ANBU at the time, to massacre the entire Uchiha clan for the sake of harmony and stability in Konoha.
However, no one could have imagined that Itachi, as an ANBU elite, was so ruthless that he could kill his own parents, but he only left his youngest brother behind.
"Maybe, but now I'm stuck in it and can't extricate myself. There are many things that I can't change if I want to," Itachi said.
"You have Shisui's eyes, and there are different gods, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo." Sai Zhen stared at his eyes seriously, and some strange resonance began to occur between the two pairs of Sharingan. "Trust me, there are so many things you can change."
