Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 313 Roots
"It's the Uesugi family!"

Not only Jiraiya, but Terumi Duanshan at this time also slowly extended his hand to the ninja bag behind him.

The atmosphere in the air instantly dropped to a freezing point.

Snapped!
Zhou Lai patted Ji Laiye's shoulder lightly with his left hand, signaling him not to act rashly.

Ji Lai also looked back, but instead of relaxing the muscles in his legs, they became even more tense with Zhou Lai's downward pressure.

"Then does your family still have any contact with the Uesugi family?"

Zhou Lai didn't start an attack with Zi Lai right away, and deliberately let the other party relax their vigilance.

Terumi Duanshan was obviously taken aback, but his vigilance did not decrease significantly. He was betting that the other party didn't know what happened.

But the opposing attitudes of the other two made him a little elusive for a while.I had no choice but to continue to answer Zhou Lai's questions patiently.

"We have cut off contact with the Uesugi family these days, but..."

When Terumi Banshan was about to continue answering, his mouth suddenly stopped.The pupils of the eyes stared in disbelief at the color that began to change in the middle of the opponent's pupils.

The other party's dark and deep black eyes began to change to scarlet red after Terumi Duanshan said a few words.The black three-curved jade writing wheel eye is done in the blink of an eye.

"Illusion·Darkness Art!!"

Zhou Lai began to change hands quickly.

boom!
Terumi Duanshan felt as if his brain had been hit hard by a heavy object, and the scene in front of him instantly became pitch black.

Terumi Duanshan knew in a second that he had been hit by the opponent's illusion, and before the opponent's illusion took shape, the chakra flowing in his body quickly reversed.

"cough!"

Terumi Duanshan spurted out a mouthful of blood in an instant.

But the surrounding darkness also dissipated.

call!
Terumi Duanshan, who hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief, instantly tensed up on the right side of his body, and a strong force was sweeping towards his ear.

The moment Zhou Lai made his move, Zi Lai had already been reminded, and his body moved accordingly.

It's just that Zhou Lai underestimated the resistance of the Terumi family patriarch to illusion, and he was not very strong in illusion, so that the other party broke free from his control in an instant.

boom!
A violent explosion erupted between Jiraiya and Terumi Banzan in an instant.

Terumi Duanshan stood in front of her with both arms level, and blocked Jiraiya's kick, but the strong stamina still threw him back fiercely.

Because of the inertia of his body, Jiraiya couldn't immediately launch a chase, but he was not alone.

Standing behind Jiraiya, Zhou Lai clasped one hand forward, and the evil-looking Sangoudama Sharingan turned quickly between the pupils, judging the trajectory of Terumi Broken Mountain that was about to fall to the ground.

boom!
Terumi Bronzan's burly body slammed into the wall of toad's flesh.

"Blur! Explosion!!"

Zhou Lai's voice suddenly rose behind Ji Laiye.

boom!
A dull sound suddenly filled the surrounding space.A cloud of faint blue fox tail flames erupted from Terumi Bronzan's belly.

puff!
Scarlet blood flowed slowly along the veins of different sizes.

Staring at Terumi Duanshan who was still conscious and about to commit suicide, Jiraiya's figure slid in front of the opponent like a sharp sword, and knocked the opponent unconscious with a hand knife.

Zhou Lai has a strong control over the power of magic and blur.For the information in his head, he can't die yet.

"Good job, boy!"

Jilai also showed a thumbs up to Zhou Lai who was behind him, with a very satisfied smile on his face.

Zhou Lai raised the corner of his mouth and scratched the back of his head.He got up and went to Jiraiya's side to stare at Terumi Banzan who was unconscious on the ground.

There was a hideous wound on the opponent's abdomen that was bleeding warm blood.Because of Zhou Lai's control over power, this wound will not affect the opponent's life for a while.

"The safety of the surrounding area will be left to Jiraiya-sama. I will use my secret technique to obtain the information in the opponent's mind."

Zhou Lai pressed Terumi Duanshan's forehead with one hand, looked at Zilai beside him and smiled.

"Okay, leave the safety of the surroundings to me."

Ji Lai also clapped his hands, and sat cross-legged on the ground beside Zhou Lai.

Zhou Lai's spiritual power poured into Terumi Bronzan's brain, and the fragments were compiled into dreams by Zhou Lai.

……

……

at the same time,

The Terumi Family Terumi Mei is on his way from the mission center to the Terumi Family.

After communicating with his teammates, Terumi Mei rushed towards the Terumi family. The mission will start at noon tomorrow, and they still have half a day to make preparations.
This is nothing to Terumi Mei, who has been performing missions all year round, but it is an extremely important moment for Chojuro, who is on an S-level mission for the first time.

"Master Mingming. I. Can I really do it?"

Chojuro looked at the quest scroll that Terumi Mei handed to him, and reached out to take it submissively, looking at Terumi Mei's pupils with unconfident eyes.

"Of course! I said you can, and you can! You must know that you are one of the seven ninja swordsmen of our Wunin. Don't underestimate the power of the double-knife flounder."

Terumi Mei patted Chojuro on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

She has a certain understanding of Chojuro's strength, and she also knows how terrifying the opponent's strength can be when he holds the double-knife flounder.Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen Chojuro as a partner for this mission.

It's just that the only shortcoming of this guy is that he is not very confident.

……

……

Zhou Lai slowly stopped releasing the mental power in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Jilaiya next to him with complicated eyes.

He has probably found out about Terumi Broken Mountain's information, and the way the other party got the information was indeed told to him by Orochimaru through the pharmacist's pocket.

As for the Uesugi family, it was because the activities of the Uesugi family in the past two days were too intense, which allowed him to find some traces.I want to use some piecemeal means to misunderstand Zhou Lai and Zi Lai's judgment.

But he didn't know the situation of Zhou Lai and the Uesugi family, which also caused the fact that he was seriously injured.

"Finished the investigation?"

Jilai also noticed the collapse of mental power beside him, so he opened his eyes and glanced at Zhoulai.

"kindness!"

Zhou Lai nodded.

"What's wrong, have you found the root cause?"

Jiraiya's voice was a little hurried.

"found it."

But looking at Zhou Lai's not-so-excited face, Ji Lai also sank in his heart.

"Is that the guy!"

Although it was a question to Zhou Lai, Zhou Lai knew that Zilai had already begun to accept this fact.

As a companion who has fought side by side for so many years, it is hard for him to believe that Orochimaru would do something that would harm Konoha's overall interests.

Not to mention it is still a big country intelligence network, such a big thing.

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know, Terumi Duanshan is also a trader of missions. If I want to know the root cause, I'm afraid I have to ask Orochimaru."
