Chapter 257 Different Eyes

When Ye Zi and the other three crossed the border, they did not take the path to the Land of Fire. They did not think that some people in Konoha were collecting information about him and his movements, and they did not know that Kushina was leading a team to come towards him. .

The journey is not long, but the journey is boring. Taking into account the mental state of Yanye and Uchiha, they set off again after taking a break midway.

A few days later, the three returned to their base.

Opening the secret entrance and walking inside, there is still the familiar wooden corridor.

They had just walked in, and two teenagers in traditional uniforms quietly walked out of the shadows in the corner.

"Master Ye Zi."

The two young-looking young men bowed respectfully to Ye Zi and looked at Ye Zi with deep admiration in their eyes.

Ye Zi nodded slightly to the two of them in response to the greeting, and then he and Yan Ye walked straight to the end of the corridor.

The two teenagers watched Ye Zi's figure disappear around the corner, then withdrew their gaze and disappeared into the shadows again.

The layout of the stronghold is not as good as a maze, but it still has the prototype of an ant. The corridors extend in all directions. If you are not familiar with it, you will get lost. Each corridor can lead to different areas.

Along the way, the boys and girls they met would salute Ye Zi. Everyone looked at Ye Zi with admiration and respect.

These war orphans picked up from various places have always been used by major ninja villages to cultivate die-hard people. Some are lucky enough to be adopted by ordinary residents even if they are not favored, but they are only a minority.

Most of the unlucky ones will be accepted by a certain department of the Ninja Village. For example, Gen, some of the members evolved from these orphans.

Of course, to be able to be selected, one must first undergo a series of training in the outer village. After the first stage of elimination, they must be stuffed into the root, and then further strengthen the training. After that, in order to create a group of ninjas without emotions, they must Go through some special training and trials.

This phenomenon is the same for any ninja village.

In recent years, due to the cessation of the war, almost no survivors of the war have been collected, and only over a hundred have been collected from the stronghold.

For these orphans, Ye Zi devoted a lot of effort, and used the time he spared to teach Jin, including all the orphans in the stronghold.

Regarding the Anbu-style training method, Ye Zi and Orochimaru are both members of the root, and they have been exposed to this aspect. Using that cruel method to eliminate some parts and extract the essence, those who can be trained are all good players, and Can be a useful tool.

Orochimaru made this suggestion directly at the beginning. He believed that if Ye Zi wanted to invest time and energy in this group of children, in order to show the greatest value, he had to apply the practices and methods of root training members.

His suggestion was rejected by Ye Zi without hesitation. He would cultivate followers but would not follow Danzo's approach.

The orphans who were collected are either lucky or unlucky.

They escape from the predicament, but have to enter this ninja world where they may face death at any time.

Facing all kinds of respectful attentions from boys and girls along the way, Ye Zi first asked Uchiha Susumu and Kotonoha to rest, and then went to find Orochimaru alone.

Arriving at the largest laboratory, Nanako was alone.

Nanako looked surprised when she saw Ye Zi. She hadn't seen Ye Zi for a while.

"You're back." Nanako smiled.

"Um."

Ye Zi nodded and did not show that he was looking for Orochimaru, so as not to disappoint Nanako. He came to Nanako naturally, looked at the mountains of information on her table, and said casually: "Don't be too embarrassed at ordinary times. tired."

Nanako looked at Ye Zi's side face, her eyes were as gentle as water, and she smiled and said, "I will pay attention."

Feeling Nanako's gentle gaze, Ye Zi looked at the long, smooth black hair, which had many branches. Seeing this, he stretched out his hand to gently smooth the separated hair.

Nanako quietly let Ye Zi help him smooth his hair, maintaining a smile on his face.

After smoothing it out, Ye Zi asked: "I haven't been back for a while. Are the improvements to the potion finished?"

Nanako nodded and said: "The onset of effect and maintenance time have been compressed to the limit, and there is no room for improvement. After injection, the onset of effect is one point and five seconds, and the maintenance time is less than seven minutes. Between six minutes and thirty seconds to seven Fluctuating from minute to minute, the effect of the medicine is applicable to the human body.”

"Is it the limit..." Ye Zi touched his chin, groaned, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Six minutes and thirty seconds is enough."

Nanako's eyes curled up, and then she asked: "Will the potion produced be used on those children?"

"If necessary, of course it is inevitable." Ye Zi said calmly: "It depends on their own decision."

At the time, this batch of potions first came out and were used by the daimyo of the Wild Country for the first time. Those who knew the consequences but still injected the potions did so voluntarily.

In the same way, if a battle is triggered, Ye Zi cannot force every trained ninja in the stronghold to inject this fatal potion. This choice can only be made by the user himself.

"I understand." Nanako stopped the topic.

Later, after the two of them chatted some useless words, Ye Zi saw that they were about the same, so he stopped talking and said: "Don't be too tired normally, I'm leaving first."

Nanako's happy expression paused, then she smiled and said, "Okay."

She was already very satisfied to be able to spend so much time alone with Ye Zi.

She was used to Ye Zi's indifference from the inside out, which was a resistance caused by some reason that she didn't know. After that, she worked hard to overcome this resistance and let Ye Zi open his heart and accept her.

When she knocked on the door of her heart, what she could feel was no longer indifference, but a feeling like the soft spring breeze gently caressing her face, but it was an untouchable wind.

Nanako realizes this and accepts it. She doesn't need to be too greedy. This is enough.

Watching Ye Zi leave, Nanako retracted her thoughts and immersed herself in the information.

Orochimaru is not in the main laboratory, so there are only two places left, one is his living room and the other is his independent laboratory.

After leaving the main laboratory, Ye Zi went straight to Orochimaru's independent laboratory.

Based on Orochimaru's request, he no longer pushed the door directly in as before. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door three times, slightly harder.

There was silence inside the door. After a moment, Orochimaru's cold voice came: "Come in."

Hearing this, Ye Zi pushed the door open and walked in. The first thing that caught his eyes was the complicated black spells painted on the ground. Lying in the middle was a young man who was still alive but in a coma. He was wearing clothes. and forehead protector, you can tell that it is a ninja who is an Iwa nin.

Orochimaru turned his back to Ye Zi, lowered his head slightly, and stared at the unconscious young man with his snake eyes.

He knew that the person coming was Ye Zi. The only people who could enter the room were Ye Zi and Nanako. Judging from the force of the knock on the door, he could tell that the person was Ye Zi.

Looking at this formation that seemed to be performing some kind of ritual, Ye Zi became interested.
