Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 358
Midnight,

Zhou Lai lay reclining on the roof of the hospital alone, with his hands behind his head, looking softly at the stars in the sky.

He thought that after returning to the village after the mission, he would be able to be an idler with peace of mind after resigning from his post in Anbu.But the tricky line of time is always unexpected.

He couldn't quietly watch the village he had guarded for so many years being completely destroyed by Orochimaru, and he couldn't watch the ordinary people in the neighborhood on the street being slaughtered wantonly by ninjas.

He was even unwilling to watch the old man die in the hands of his favorite disciple.

The third generation is quite conservative in the ruling line, but when Zhou Lai was able to understand all this, he found that the third generation was also quite helpless.

Everything is just due to the times. The third generation died in battle in the early days of taking office, and the village has just experienced the baptism of war.

Fortunately, the same is true for the other four countries.

During the Nine Tails Rebellion, four generations died in battle.The village, which hadn't recovered from the war, once again experienced a bloody battle.It was even so serious that one generation withered. If Zhou Lai hadn't been born, their generation would not have had the talent to take on great responsibilities.

It is precisely because of this that the third generation who knows the strength of the village strongly advocates peaceful negotiations to resolve the relationship between the Uchihas.

But in the end it came to nothing.

Zhou Lai silently looked at the sky and sighed slightly, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth. The third generation probably wanted to be as strong as the first generation.

I also want to be as strong and tough as the second generation, anyway, there is a strong and powerful village behind me.One against four will never say a word of cowardice.

During his reign, the ninja world had been in turbulent times, with countries fighting each other over their borders.He has been in power all his life, and his journey has been difficult.

Now the village that has been guarded for a lifetime has to face the sudden destruction of the proud disciples.

To be honest, Zhou Lai felt sorry for the three-generation old man.Because he is very good to Zhou Lai.

at the same time,

In a remote basement outside Muye Village,

Instead of illuminating the room, the dim orange light made it look darker and weirder.

Orochimaru sat on a stone chair in the shadows, staring coldly at the ninja in front of him with yellow vertical eyes.

The ninja knelt down on one knee, motionless, waiting for Orochimaru's arrangement very obediently.

Normally, this is a restricted area that he would never dare to set foot in. In the past, the assignments were assigned to them through Pharmacist Dou, but today, because of the Zhongnin Exam, Pharmacist Dou broke into the enemy, and he could only do it himself. .

"Go find this person and find out his identity and position in Konoha for me! I want detailed information!"

Orochimaru looked up and down at the ninja below, and finally looked away without any interest, and threw a black scroll in front of the ninja.

The scroll unfolded along the way, revealing the delicate and fair face inside.

The ninja was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly agreed.

"Go away!" Orochimaru's hoarse voice came out.

The ninja quickly picked up the scroll on the ground and rushed out in a panic.

After leaving the room, looking at the lights in the corridor, Ninja breathed a sigh of relief, his back was completely wet with cold sweat at this moment.

He wanted to turn around and take another look, but when he thought of the inexplicably cold eyes, the ninja instantly dismissed the idea, took two steps at a time, and left in a hurry.

.

.

"Have you found anything?"

Sandai stood in his study room, smoking the cigarette holder he had just lit, looking calmly at Zhou Lai who pushed the door open.

"Oshemaru seems to be acting alone. Of the three bodies found, only Orochimaru and two snakes were found."

"Ah."

Sandai nodded, not seeming surprised by the result at all.

"What about inside the village?"

"Anbu has been carefully checking the people coming and going in the past two days. Although there are some gains, it has nothing to do with the entry of Orochimaru into the village.

I suspect that the people of Orochimaru were deliberately hidden by some caring people in the village! "

Zhou Lai hesitated for a moment and decided to tell San Dai about his doubts. Although he couldn't make decisions for him, it could still raise San Dai's internal vigilance.

"You mean Danzo?"

The third generation exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at Zhou Lai in front of him with deep eyes.

Zhou Lai didn't expect Sandai to be so direct, but from this point of view, Sandai is also wary of Danzo.

"Yeah." Zhou Lai nodded,

"Master Danzo has been peeping at Hokage's position for a long time. The assassination of you is a good example. Don't take him lightly!"

"I know,"

The third generation's complexion became hesitant,

"According to Danzo's unscrupulous nature, it is not impossible to join forces with Oshemaru, but it is precisely because of his understanding of that guy that he will not make a decision that harms the interests of the village."

"This matter can be handed over to me to investigate!"

Zhou Lai stepped forward, and as long as Sandai nodded, he would be able to fully expose what Danzo did.

"Let's stop this matter!"

The third generation waved their hands and rejected Zhou Lai's proposal.

Ugh,
Zhou Lai sighed silently inwardly.The heart is not too persistent.

What happened after that, although Zhou Lai was generally clear, but without evidence, it is not easy to explain it directly, otherwise there is no way to explain it.

You can only rely on Anbu to find out some clues, at worst, you will spend more time to kill Orochimaru in advance.

"During this period of time, a lot of spies from the enemy country with impure minds have entered the village, so that the members of the Anbu team have worked hard during this period, and try not to make any changes during the Zhongnin exam, otherwise it may affect us, the sand ninja, and the surrounding affiliates. Ninja village relationship."

The third generation pinched the center of his brows, not hiding his tiredness at all.

Seeing such three generations, Zhou Lai unconsciously re-swallowed his doubts about sand ninja into his stomach.

Although Anbu was busy during this period, the third generation who was the commander of the village also didn't have much time to rest.

"My lord, it's time for you to rest, and your subordinates should leave first!"

"Go!"

San Dai waved his hands and smiled kindly at Zhou Lai.

Swish!
There was only a tired old man left in the room, and the candlelight swaying gently with the breeze.

Call ~
Exhaling the last puff from the cigarette holder, Sandai closed the scroll on the desk, and slowly stood up while leaning on the handle of the chair.

Look out the window at the unusually bright full moon.

.

Zilai, who was far away on the border of the Land of Fire, also seemed to feel something. He raised his head unconsciously to look at the moon in the sky, and carried a simple wooden bookcase on his back as he swayed with his body, making creaking noises.

"It's over. It seems that I can't find a hotel to rest today. Alas, I have to go to Miaomu Mountain again to trouble Boss Toad."

Jiraiya also thought of the hot spring soft bed in Mt. Miaomu, and a wretched smile appeared on the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

"How embarrassing~"

"Ha Qiu!"

Immortal Zhima suddenly sneezed.Looking around for no apparent reason.
