While my wife was still discussing how to greet Orochimaru, another person suddenly ran over and said: "Chief, there is a root who calls himself Danzo-sama and comes to join us to meet Orochimaru-sama."
"Danzo? Let him come in and take a look." After hesitating for a moment, he gave the order.
Although my wife has never met Danzo, she has heard from Orochimaru that the old guy is still different from the people in Konoha. Maybe someone will really be sent to help Lord Orochimaru leave.
Sky Burial was welcomed into the cave by Ibri's tribe, and as Sky Burial's figure was gradually illuminated by the surrounding lights, the brown curly-haired little Loli's eyes suddenly brightened.
"Tianzang, is Tianzang back?"
"Hello, leader of the Ibri clan, I am Danzo-sama's subordinate. I am here mainly to help Orochimaru, who may be passing by, escape Konoha's pursuit."

"Show me the thing."
Sky Burial took out a secret scroll from the ninja tool bag behind his back and threw it to my wife.
After checking it carefully, my wife returned it.
"It's Danzo's stuff, it seems to be right."
When my wife was about to continue saying something, a line of pink smoke flew over from a distance, circled around the sky burial for several times, and then suddenly condensed in front of the sky burial and turned into a brown-haired little girl wearing civilian clothes. Li.
"Tenzo!? Is that you? Tenzo?"
"Celestial Burial...are you talking about me?" Sky Burial, who was wearing a ghost mask with roots, pointed at him in confusion and said. He seems to have this name, but I can't remember it clearly. More often, others will call him by his code name, which is -A.
……
"Well, it should be right here." Zhixue was walking in the dark jungle with a map in one hand and a compass he just bought in the other.
The foliage here is so dense that it’s a bit difficult to see the direction without seeing the sun. Fortunately, Zhixue does not have the attribute of being a road idiot.
After following the map to the location, Zhixue stopped, looked at the bottomless hole in front of him, and put away the compass.
"Is Orochimaru's treasure here?"
Chapter 22, Xuejian
In the dark winding tree hole, a faint firelight illuminated the surrounding darkness. Looking back, the light coming from the hole behind him had gradually disappeared as the road went further.
Zhixue held the torch in one hand and the Grass Pheasant Sword in the other, carefully guarding against possible sudden changes in the surroundings.
Call ~
It was like a gust of wind gently caressing Zhixue's body, and the cold breath made Zhixue sneeze a few times.
"Ah Zhi! Isn't this inside a cave? How can there be wind?"
While Zhixue was still confused, a figure appeared behind her in the dim shadow of the fire, with the long rope already hanging high in her hand.
"Outsider, you've come to the wrong place!" The Ibri guarding here wanted to put a rope on Zhixue's small and exquisite body, but only after a moment, he was struck by the grass pheasant sword. It was nailed to the surrounding wooden wall, and the rope in his hand was split into two and scattered on the ground.
The Ibri guard gritted his teeth and looked at the bursts of blood flowing out of his arms and the constant warning pain from his body. He looked at Zhixue's blood-colored pupils that were more dazzling than the torch. His expression was startled for a while, and then turned into There was a burst of smoke, and he escaped from the control of the Grass Pheasant Sword and flew forward quickly.
"What...is this principle? It doesn't seem to be a transformation technique." Zhixue pulled out the Grass Pheasant Sword and looked at the smoke going away without pursuing it. After all, she was not familiar with this place. If she followed the enemy rashly, she might capsize in the ditch. But I didn't expect that there was Orochimaru guarding this place, so it would be difficult to alert the enemy.
After Zhixue experienced this incident, he also separated into two clones to explore the way ahead, and he also accelerated his pace and continued to run downward.
Only a few minutes after the guards escaped, they found the leader of the Ibri clan, Mrs. Wu.
"Azabu, your arm..." My wife looked puzzled at the bleeding on the guard's arm.
"Clan leader, someone has invaded the territory and has now reached through the supply channel above!"
"What!?" My wife picked up a machete next to her and ran towards the supply channel, while several tribesmen still around followed her looking at each other.
……
"Tianzang, it's great to see you again this time. Let me see how tall you have grown?" Xuejian (a little lolita with rice dumplings) excitedly pulled Tianzang to a tree stump. There are also many marks carved with stones clearly visible on it.
"Ah...I'm not Tenzo." A looked at the excited little girl in front of him and shook his head regretfully. But Xuejian's enthusiasm for him has not diminished at all.
"No, how is it possible? You are Tenzo. I will never admit it. A few years ago, you were taken away by Lord Orochimaru. I didn't expect that I could see you again after so many years. It's really great. Come on, Tenzo!"
First:……
Looking at the little brown-haired girl in front of him, A still didn't choose to hurt her with words. Instead, he seemed to have become the Tenzo in Xuejian's mouth, taking him with him to listen to the excitement outside the crack. The sound of market fireworks, recalling all kinds of interesting things in the past, including the relationship between Orochimaru and their Ibri clan.
"Isn't this underground? Why are there so many trees planted? And your tribe seems a little strange." Walking to an empty flat land, Tianzang touched the green branches and leaves of the saplings with his hands, and when he got closer, , and then I saw a wooden sign hidden under the sapling, which carried strange names.
"Here... the cemetery where we Ibri people bury their bodies, we use saplings instead of tombstones. It is said that the smoke that turns into after the Ibri people die will carry their souls and merge into the trees, protecting their descendants from generation to generation. , and when you first came here, you should have seen that there are no old people in our clan. That is because the body structure of our clan is very special and often switches between smoke and flesh. Due to uncontrollable reasons, many clan members are After turning into smoke for too long, it disappeared from this world forever, so basically no clan members can live to a very old age."
Xuejian straightened a slightly crooked sapling, his eyes seemed to carry a long-lasting sadness.
"Is this so..."
"We have also sought solutions to this problem, but due to the unstable structure of the body, if we happen to be blown away by the wind when the outside world turns into smoke, then our bodies will be torn apart by the smoke and die. .but…"
Xuejian turned his back, opened the collar of the cloth, pointed to a black magatama on his neck and said.
"But later Orochimaru-sama found us and used something called a curse seal to temporarily suppress the problem that we might atomize at any time. However, treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. If you want to perfectly solve the atomization problem, you need to The children of the Ibri clan will cooperate with Lord Orochimaru in conducting experiments."
"And Tenzo was one of the many children at that time, but fortunately Tenzo has returned from Orochimaru-sama."
Having said this, Xuejian looked at the sky burial, and his melancholy expression seemed to have a hint of happiness.
She originally thought they would never see each other again, but unexpectedly, God gave her another chance, a chance to reunite with Tenzo again.
Sky Burial looked at the girl's clear eyes and tears at the corners of her eyes, and was a little dazed for a moment.
This emotion... such a wonderful feeling, it is something I have never experienced from the bottom up.
"Alert! There is an intruder!"
While Xuejian was still talking to Sky Burial, Wu Tai's loud voice came from the cave entrance in the distance, attracting the attention of both of them.
"what happened?"
After Xue Jian and Tianzhong looked at each other, they nodded and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
……
The dark road gradually widened, and bright light gradually appeared in front of it. After exploring the road, Zhixue's two shadow clones turned into smoke and dissipated. Zhixue also slowly walked out of the exit, throwing the torch on the ground. Use a small leather boot to stomp it out and then crush it.
Zhixue glanced at the wide cave around him and took out the map. Unfortunately, the exact location was not marked on it, but it should have been placed here.
"Are you the intruder?" A white smoke gradually condensed in front of Zhixue. He said in surprise as he looked at the petite figure wearing a maid outfit in front of him.
How could such a weak brat possibly injure Azabu, who had chuunin strength? But now that we have discovered this place, we can't even think about leaving here alive.
Chapter 23, Wood Release Ninja
"Uncle, maybe we can have a good talk? I just walked in accidentally, there's no need to be so sword-fighting, right?" Zhixue looked at the machete in Wu Tai's hand and the crowd approaching nearby, and couldn't help but back away. One step forward.
These guys looked like ordinary civilians in their clothes, but Zhixue didn't believe that a group of harmless ordinary people would ignore the good villages and markets nearby and live in such a dilapidated cave.
"Kid, what is your purpose for coming here? If you tell me, I'm afraid we will spare your life. But if you touch this place, you can't go back to your previous life." My wife wiped the machete in her hand and threatened. road.
Zhixue felt the malice surrounding her, and slowly pulled out the Grass Pheasant Sword from behind, laying it across in front of her.
"It's true that the people who live here are not good people, but if you think that I am a soft persimmon, you are totally wrong."
Watching Zhixue coming out with his sword drawn, Mrs. Wu and others were also on alert and on the defensive. Just when the two parties were at war with each other, Tianzhong and Xuejian ran over.
"How could it be her?" When he saw Zhixue surrounded by many Ibri tribesmen in the distance at the sky burial, he was so shocked that his eyes widened.
Is this girl... really coming to this place?
"Tianzang, do you know this guy?" Xuejian looked at Tianzang's uncomfortable expression and pointed his little finger at Zhixue in the distance and asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Sky Burial shook his head and nodded again.
Tianzhong thought that he still had a good impression of Zhixue, a beautiful and lovely girl, even though they were strangers to each other.
After Zhixue took a look at the crowd around him, he threw a smoke bomb in his hand to cover his vision. He also used his shadow clone technique and ran towards the two surrounding directions, attracting firepower.
"stop!"
The two tribesmen turned into smoke and wrapped around Zhixue, and the black and gray smoke merged into the body of the shadow clone like a wisp of blue smoke.
The burning pain inside was like a rolling volcano boiling and rolling, and like the muffled thunder in the sky, it was full of explosive energy.
However, the shadow clone is just a shadow clone after all, and after going through some troubles, it turns into white smoke and disappears. After the smoke from the smoke bomb disappeared, Zhixue's figure also disappeared here.
Wu Tai's figure changed from the smoke back to human form. She looked at the passage behind her and frowned.
"The art of shadow clone? Is it a ninja from Konoha?" Gota asked, looking at Yamato who was watching the show.
After thinking for a moment, Yamato nodded and said, "If it's a ninja from Konoha, let me handle it."
My wife looked at Sky Burial’s cold eyes and nodded.
Let Konoha's own people resolve matters in Konoha. They just need to be responsible for blocking the surrounding intersections.
Next, my wife was assigned to work and went to guard the various exits of the cave. Sky Burial and Xuejian ran all the way towards Zhixue.
Zhixue ran in the cave, bypassing obstacles again and again. His petite figure shuttled among various cluttered buildings. When he looked back to fly, there was actually a person wearing a root mask chasing him from behind. .
When he saw the mask, Zhixue suddenly recalled the guy he met after changing clothes today.
"How could it be this guy? Could it be Danzo's Nebe, but would Nebe really be so shy and say something like that?"
"Stop!" Sky Zombie glanced at the smoke monitors behind him in the distance and shouted to Zhixue, but two shurikens came towards him.
Sky Burial took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag and flicked away the flying shuriken. He quickly formed a seal with his hand, and suddenly two wooden doors appeared in front of Zhixue.
"Wooden Escape!?" Zhixue, who observed the condition of the wooden door, took out his Pheasant Sword and cut the wooden door in half. Then he stopped and spit out a two-meter red fireball towards the sky burial.
"Tenzo!"
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Sky Zombie slapped his hands on the ground, and a thick wooden wall appeared in front of him to block the fireball, and the hot breath swept over from both sides of the wooden ingot wall.
Zhixue looked at the rising wooden wall and already had a rough guess in his mind.
Judging from this ability and mask, the person standing in front of her now should be Yamato, the legendary greening expert. She didn't expect to meet him here.
Zhixue stopped, stretched out his slender, boneless hand towards the sky burial, then mobilized the chakra in his body and used the teleportation technique to run out behind him.
"Tianzang! Are you okay?" Xuejian ran behind the wooden ingot wall and patted the burnt hair on Tianzang's head and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm also very powerful. Just remember to wait for me here. I'll be back soon." Tianzhong shook his head, put his hand on Xuejian's little hand, showed a smile, and then moved towards Zhixue's. The direction pursued him.
"Catch up." The two Ibri tribesmen who were following Sky Burial and watching looked at each other, and then turned into smoke and blew past Xuejian's side like a strong wind.
