Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 328 Nightmare
Looking at the Konoha gate in front of him, the surrounding scenery is so familiar and kind.

Instead of avoiding it as usual, Zhou Lai appeared directly in the middle of the road at the end of the Konoha Gate.

This was the last time he completed Anbu's mission. He wanted to be like a normal ninja, entering and exiting Konoha's gate normally, instead of dodging back from a small corner that no one noticed in order to avoid the enemy agents inside the village.

"Name, age."

The copper and iron head in the emerald green Konoha uniform didn't lift up, and kept fumbling with the scroll in his hand with his head lowered, when he heard the footsteps of someone coming,

He changed hands and replaced it with another scroll next to it, waiting for the identity registration of the person who came.

"Moonlight Gale, 21 years old."

Zhou Lai had a faint smile on his mouth, and his gaze fell curiously on the scroll beside the copper and iron, and he could vaguely recognize that it was a detailed explanation about the changes in the nature of the fire attribute.

"Okay, let's go in!"

Tong Zitie seemed to be still immersed in the ocean of knowledge just now, and he picked up the pen in his hand and planned to write the name of Moonlight Gale on the scroll.

suddenly,

A flash of spiritual light suddenly flashed through Tong Zitie's eyes, his movements stopped abruptly, and his pupils stared at his half-written name in disbelief.

He raised his head in an instant, looking at Zhou Lai who was squinting and smiling over him.

"Hail!! Why is it you?"

Tong Zitie jumped up from the stool in an instant, and hugged Zhou Lai in his arms.

They haven't seen Zhou Lai in Anbu for a long time. Many times they went to Zhou Lai's party but failed because of the closed door.

Calculating the time, they haven't heard any specific news from Zhou Lai for about two years.

Although they are in the same village, their respective responsibilities allow them to always meet each other.

"Why did you come back from outside? When did you go out? And what have you been doing these past few years?"

A series of questions burst out from Tong Zi Tie's mouth, very much like an old woman with a broken mouth on the street.
Sensing the movement outside, Kamizuki Izumo also poked his head out from the small room behind him.

After seeing Zhou Lai's handsome face, he was obviously taken aback.Immediately after reacting, his body appeared in front of Zhou Lai in an instant.

He punched Zhou Lai on the shoulder, staring at Zhou Lai's eyes with joy,

"Boy, why did you come to us? I heard from Kaizi that you rarely have time to rest because of the heavy tasks. Why did you come here today?"

Seeing the enthusiastic attitude of the two old classmates in front of him, Zhou Lai, who is used to walking in the midst of death and despair, was really at a loss for a moment.

I had no choice but to scratch the back of my head and giggle at the two of them.For a moment, there was an illusion of returning to the childhood when I was young and ignorant.

They are still so carefree and carefree.You can even take advantage of the rest time to bask in the sun every day, play cards and bicker with your sand sculpture teammates around you.
It's just that he is used to the cold, bloody life of assassination, can he return to them again?
Unbeknownst to Zhou Lai, seeing the sincere smiles of the two of them, for the first time, he felt a faint thought of running away.

He didn't know what Kakashi was like, but the thought was like a nightmare, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Scenes of bloody scenes echoed in his mind like a movie.

The corners of Zhou Lai's mouth gradually became stiff, and he looked at the two people in front of him as if he was standing in another space.

They are obviously very close, but Zhou Lai feels that there is a curtain that is far, far away between them, and he can't catch it no matter what.

"blast."

"blast."

Zhou Lai, who clearly sensed that his condition was not right, Tong Zitie and Shenyue Izumo also showed anxious expressions on their faces.

"cough!"

puff!
Under the shocked expressions of the two, Zhou Lai suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood from his throat.

Suppressing the severe pain in his chest, the terrifyingly majestic mental power was suddenly released from Zhou Lai's body.

Forcibly pull his consciousness back to reality.

call!
call!
call.
Zhou Lai was sitting on the table in front of him with one arm, his whole body was half arched and panting heavily, his bloodshot black eyes were staring straight at the nothingness in front of him.

The whole person is completely different from when he first entered the village.It's as weak as a seriously ill patient.

At this moment, Tong Zitie and Shenyue Izumo also seemed to have seen something extraordinary, and the two of them were surprisingly petrified in place, with their hands still maintaining a gesture of warm greeting.

It's just that the eyes they looked at Zhou Lai became bewildered.

Zhou Lai's sudden change of state was second to none. The terrifying coercion that erupted just now was the root cause of their shock.

"That breath."

The stiff neck of copper and iron was like a rusty pointer on a clock, moving a little bit towards Izumo Kamiyue next to him.

Even if it was only for a moment when they first arrived at the wave, they, who were deep in the center of the wave, had a deep understanding of that fear.

For a moment, they recalled their childhood, the shadow of being attacked by the Kyuubi.

at the same time,

The Third Hokage who was working in the office suddenly froze in place.

The old hand holding the pen trembled slightly.Then hold it tight.The fluctuations from the entrance of the village naturally couldn't escape his perception.

Immediately, his brows were tightly frowned, and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Acting with it is Sandai's hidden Anbu around Sandai.

"Little fox, what's going on here?"

Zhou Lai felt a burning pain in his chest at the moment, but what worried him even more was the severe pain from his brain.

The whole person seemed to be on the tip of a needle all over the ground, no matter how much he moved, he could feel the throbbing from the soul.

biting and cold
"Don't worry. It's nothing serious, you'll get back to me soon,"

The lazy voice of the little fox could be heard in his mind, and Zhou Lai seemed to be able to imagine the look of that silly cat sitting on a chair with its legs crossed
"As for this little problem, you'd better think about how to deal with the situation around you."

"What's the situation around?"

Zhou Lai was taken aback for a moment, taking advantage of the moment when his soul breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Lai quickly turned his gaze to the surroundings.

I saw a dense row of ninjas wearing emerald green ninja combat uniforms, holding a kunwu vigilantly watching Zhou Lai who was in place with a bow.

If it weren't for Tongzi Tie and Shenyue Izumo trying to explain something at this moment, he might have been attacked by ninjas from his own village at this moment.
But it can't be blamed on them. Zhou Lai didn't have much time to face the village with his original face. Most of the time he wore a mask to go to and from every corner of the village.

And more importantly, he doesn't have Konoha's ninja headpiece now.
