Shadow Stream of Leaf

The underground of Konoha, a secret laboratory.

Cold and dark.

This is Orochimaru's lair, and Orochi was standing behind a table.

His desk was empty, except for three palm-high glass bottles placed side by side, each with a different label on the outside.

The glass bottles seemed to be empty, but they were tightly sealed one by one.

Orochimaru pulled down the triangular face covering covering his mouth and nose, and then he put the leftmost bottle aside.

"Sure enough, this one is the most difficult to deal with. It's too corrosive, even to the point where it can only be judged as a 'useless thing', making people wonder how its owner survived...

However, of course it can't really be a useless thing, so it can only be kept for later research.

If I had to say it, this should represent a kind of "chaos", just as complicated as Hanyu's thoughts. "

As he said that, Orochimaru put away the glass bottle. This thing seems to have exceeded his current knowledge reserve and technical level, so he can only save it for later processing - there is no doubt that there is a word "rain" on the bottle .

But that's certainly not the weather forecast.

Although Orochimaru's behavior is a bit deadly, it is not beyond reason, and it is even the most normal development... If a very "special" research material is placed in a mad scientist with a particularly strong curiosity Where it is within reach, the scientist cannot remain silent forever, he will make a move sooner or later.

Why can five attributes coexist in a ninja? Isn't this a good research topic?

Hanyu naturally doesn't know that he is being studied now, so it's hard to guess how he will feel after knowing this kind of thing, and what educational actions he will take.

"As for this one... that is purely powerful. It is different from the previous messy thing. This one cannot be used because it is purely irrepressible. After all, it will be assimilated by it if it is slightly contaminated. Not something I can handle right now."

Orochimaru swung the second bottle to his side, then reached out and picked up the third bottle.

"Fortunately, there is a third one, suppressing, reconciling, and controlling. The power hidden in the blood of the secret ninja style is unimaginable. If it is possible...well, I regret giving her back."

Orochimaru opened the third glass bottle, threw something into the bottle, and then with the shaking of his wrist, half a bottle of clear water slowly appeared in the bottle... This should be someone kind of medicine.

Then, a white snake crawled out from the sleeve of Orochimaru without a sound. The white snake raised its head and opened its mouth to reveal its fangs, and then its triangular head stuck into the glass bottle , as Xinzi protruded and retracted, it drank the potion in the bottle.

After the white snake drank all the medicine, Orochimaru reached out and brushed the white snake's head lightly, his eyes became infinitely softer.

This is probably the tenderness of the legendary iron man...

It doesn't seem right.

In short, it is very tender.

"Teacher A Ruo, the previous experience on the battlefield made me feel heavy. The difference between actual combat and training is indescribable... I even have a little self-doubt. Do I really have the talent to be a ninja?"

Shengshu has been taken care of very well since he was a child, and he is a little "ignorant of the world", but he is not really stupid, so a trip to the country of rain can still make him understand some things after all.

"Master Zhishu, war will make a person grow. Reflection and conclusion you know are the meaning of the trip to the Land of Rain, but you don't have to doubt it. You should focus on the future, not the present."

As Shengshu's tutor, Ah Ruo would of course comfort Shengshu at this time, but this didn't seem to be consolation, because she seemed to have great confidence in Shengshu...much more confident than Shengshu himself.

Especially when this kind of rope tree falls into self-doubt, Ah Ruo's confidence is really "precious".

Her words sound plausible, but this woman named A Ruo has never actually been on a battlefield...

This is what Sanxiao helped the Thousand Hands win over, but it seems that this kind of right is becoming less and less worthy of cherishing.

"I understand, Teacher A Ruo, I will not be discouraged."

Ah Ruo smiled, and then touched the back of Naoki like he did when he was a child, "Master Naoki, as a commemoration and reward for returning from the first actual battle on the battlefield, I have a gift for you."

As she said that, she took out a scroll from behind, and handed it to Naoshu.

"Teacher Ah Ruo, what is this?"

"This is the secret of the Qianshou clan's strength."

This kind of statement naturally aroused Zhishu's curiosity immediately, and he was going to try to open the scroll right away, but after trying it, he found that it couldn't be opened at all.

Ah Ruo shook his head, "Now is not the time, when the time comes, Master Shengshu will be able to open it."

"opportunity?"

"Well, when the time comes, you will understand, Master Naoki."

Kageri's underground base, Hanyu's office.

During the New Year, the "warning" Hanyu received made him unclear, but he still secretly kept it in his heart.

However, he wasn't sure if the person who delivered the warning to him really had good intentions. To be honest, people who hide their heads and show their tails are not worthy of trust... Hanyu is a ninja, so he naturally understands the consequences of completely trusting other people .

There is a high probability that you will be cheated so that you don't even know your mother.

Recently, Hanyu changed his "secretary". Uzumaki Ziko is busy with Kageriu's work and cannot "take care" of Hanyu all the time, so Hanyu's secretary is now replaced by Uzumaki Yayoi.

Tsunade is still helping to adjust Yayoi's body, so far, the situation seems to have improved a lot, although Yayoi's hair is still the original color, but at least it has a normal color, not as dry as before.

Of course, it was a secretary, but at this time Yayoi's mentality was still in the age group below ten years old, so naturally she couldn't help much—in fact, putting her here was just to let Hanyu help with childcare.

This mental growth can only be made up slowly over time.

At this time, there were four people in Hanyu's office, besides himself, Ziko, Yayoi, and "diaper ninja" Kakashi.

Although this place looks like a "children's paradise", it is rare that at this time Hanyu is arranging a very formal job with Zikou.

"In short, that's it. I think you should have fully understood what I mean: first, all Uzumaki ninjas belong to Kageriu; secondly, the number of all Uzumaki ninjas should be reduced to less than sixty, at most sixty."

"I understand, Master Hanyu. But why do you want to do this? Currently, the number of Uzumaki ninjas in the village is over a hundred. Your decision means that about 40% of Uzumaki ninjas will 'retire'... I must at least fully The reason for the action." Regarding Hanyu's sudden decision, Uzumaki Zikou was a little confused.

"On the one hand, it is to improve the quality of the shadow stream ninjas, and on the other hand, it is to reduce the casualty rate of the Uzumaki ninjas... Why did I make this decision? Think about it when the next ninja war comes, Konoha Know the situation you will face.

The next big war is sure to come. "

Hanyu's explanation was very concise, and Zikou would understand what he meant.

In the first ninja war, Konoha could be regarded as the victor. Although the second ninja war was not straightforward, Konoha was also considered a big show.

Konoha is still the strongest in Ninja Village. Whether it is for the purpose of suppressing Konoha or venting hatred, the external environment Konoha will face in the next war is conceivable.

It must be a particularly tragic battle, and the most likely situation is that Konoha will fall into a situation of one against four.

"...Master Hanyu."

Zikou just imagined it for a while, and her breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

"Understood? Let's do things, step by step. Of course, the reasons I said can't be put on the bright side. You have to give a more reasonable explanation for our ninjas and the village... As for the How to explain it, you can think for yourself, Zikou."

Uzumaki Zikou was silent for a while, finally nodded, and then hurriedly exited Hanyu's office... She would definitely agree with Hanyu's actions. Although what happened to Uzumaki Yayoi was just a small matter, it would seriously affect Ziko Uzumaki's office. Kou's judgment.

Uzumaki Ziko is the patriarch of the Uzumaki Clan. Of course she will take into account the interests of the village in Konoha, but it is also her responsibility to protect the safety of the clan... The Uzumaki Clan has never been public, and the "Yayoi Incident" will only make them more silent and low-key .

Fortunately, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan will not be used as front-line combat forces, they should be used as auxiliary jobs, so Zikou can always find a suitable reason to explain to the village... Gradually retire, not immediately .

After sending Ziko away, Hanyu waved to Kakashi again, called him to his side, and then touched the child's "white hair" very kindly.

"Don't pee."

Hanyu was really scared, it would take a lot of clothes to get along with this child, so he immediately warned him like this.

"Yes, Master Hanyu."

Seriously, Hatake and his wife, the child is so used to it that he doesn't call him Hanyu's father anymore, but this is a small problem.

"Kakashi, do you like small animals? Like foxes or something?"

"Fox? What is a fox?

I haven't seen a fox yet, but I like foxes. "Kakashi said innocently.

Your sister, the logic of children is really strong, you don't even know what a fox is, why do you like foxes? Because of sao?

"That's good, I happen to have a batch of foxes in stock here, and I can't get rid of them all the time. If you practice hard, maybe you can adopt one?

Blue BUFF, I think you definitely need it... I just don't know if your small body can withstand such a ruthless thing.

Kakashi, I want to tell you one thing for my father, never become that kind of ninja with "professional theory and entertaining techniques" in the future. You have to work hard and strive to become the top ninja when you grow up, so that all doubts will disappear. "

Kakashi blinked his eyes, as if he was digesting Hanyu's long paragraph, but after digesting it, he seemed to have digested the only sentence: "Okay, Father, I understand."

Well, Hanyu corrected him again.

"Oh, tell me, what do you understand?"

"...Anyway, Father is doing it for my own good."

Look at this kid, he is smart and transparent, and he will definitely develop into a more promising child than before.
