In the dark winding tree hole, a faint firelight illuminated the surrounding darkness. Looking back, the light coming from the hole behind him had gradually disappeared as the road went further.

Zhixue held the torch in one hand and the Grass Pheasant Sword in the other, carefully guarding against possible sudden changes in the surroundings.

Call ~

It was like a gust of wind gently caressing Zhixue's body, and the cold breath made Zhixue sneeze a few times.

"Ah Zhi! Isn't this inside a cave? How can there be wind?"

While Zhixue was still confused, a figure appeared behind her in the dim shadow of the fire, with the long rope already hanging high in her hand.

"Outsider, you've come to the wrong place!" The Ibri guarding here wanted to put a rope on Zhixue's small and exquisite body, but only after a moment, he was struck by the grass pheasant sword. It was nailed to the surrounding wooden wall, and the rope in his hand was split into two and scattered on the ground.

The Ibri guard gritted his teeth and looked at the bursts of blood flowing out of his arms and the constant warning pain from his body. He looked at Zhixue's blood-colored pupils that were more dazzling than the torch. His expression was startled for a while, and then turned into There was a burst of smoke, and he escaped from the control of the Grass Pheasant Sword and flew forward quickly.

"What...is this principle? It doesn't seem to be a transformation technique." Zhixue pulled out the Grass Pheasant Sword and looked at the smoke going away without pursuing it. After all, she was not familiar with this place. If she followed the enemy rashly, she might capsize in the ditch. But I didn't expect that there was Orochimaru guarding this place, so it would be difficult to alert the enemy.

After Zhixue experienced this incident, he also separated into two clones to explore the way ahead, and he also accelerated his pace and continued to run downward.

Only a few minutes after the guards escaped, they found the leader of the Ibri clan, Mrs. Wu.

"Azabu, your arm..." My wife looked puzzled at the bleeding on the guard's arm.

"Clan leader, someone has invaded the territory and has now reached through the supply channel above!"

"What!?" My wife picked up a machete next to her and ran towards the supply channel, while several tribesmen still around followed her looking at each other.

……

"Tianzang, it's great to see you again this time. Let me see how tall you have grown?" Xuejian (a little lolita with rice dumplings) excitedly pulled Tianzang to a tree stump. There are also many marks carved with stones clearly visible on it.

"Ah...I'm not Tenzo." A looked at the excited little girl in front of him and shook his head regretfully. But Xuejian's enthusiasm for him has not diminished at all.

"No, how is it possible? You are Tenzo. I will never admit it. A few years ago, you were taken away by Lord Orochimaru. I didn't expect that I could see you again after so many years. It's really great. Come on, Tenzo!"

First:……

Looking at the little brown-haired girl in front of him, A still didn't choose to hurt her with words. Instead, he seemed to have become the Tenzo in Xuejian's mouth, taking him with him to listen to the excitement outside the crack. The sound of market fireworks, recalling all kinds of interesting things in the past, including the relationship between Orochimaru and their Ibri clan.

"Isn't this underground? Why are there so many trees planted? And your tribe seems a little strange." Walking to an empty flat land, Tianzang touched the green branches and leaves of the saplings with his hands, and when he got closer, , and then I saw a wooden sign hidden under the sapling, which carried strange names.

"Here... the cemetery where we Ibri people bury their bodies, we use saplings instead of tombstones. It is said that the smoke that turns into after the Ibri people die will carry their souls and merge into the trees, protecting their descendants from generation to generation. , and when you first came here, you should have seen that there are no old people in our clan. That is because the body structure of our clan is very special and often switches between smoke and flesh. Due to uncontrollable reasons, many clan members are After turning into smoke for too long, it disappeared from this world forever, so basically no clan members can live to a very old age."

Xuejian straightened a slightly crooked sapling, his eyes seemed to carry a long-lasting sadness.

"Is this so..."

"We have also sought solutions to this problem, but due to the unstable structure of the body, if we happen to be blown away by the wind when the outside world turns into smoke, then our bodies will be torn apart by the smoke and die. .but…"

Xuejian turned his back, opened the collar of the cloth, pointed to a black magatama on his neck and said.

"But later Orochimaru-sama found us and used something called a curse seal to temporarily suppress the problem that we might atomize at any time. However, treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. If you want to perfectly solve the atomization problem, you need to The children of the Ibri clan will cooperate with Lord Orochimaru in conducting experiments."

"And Tenzo was one of the many children at that time, but fortunately Tenzo has returned from Orochimaru-sama."

Having said this, Xuejian looked at the sky burial, and his melancholy expression seemed to have a hint of happiness.

She originally thought they would never see each other again, but unexpectedly, God gave her another chance, a chance to reunite with Tenzo again.

Sky Burial looked at the girl's clear eyes and tears at the corners of her eyes, and was a little dazed for a moment.

This emotion... such a wonderful feeling, it is something I have never experienced from the bottom up.

"Alert! There is an intruder!"

While Xuejian was still talking to Sky Burial, Wu Tai's loud voice came from the cave entrance in the distance, attracting the attention of both of them.

"what happened?"

After Xue Jian and Tianzhong looked at each other, they nodded and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

……

The dark road gradually widened, and bright light gradually appeared in front of it. After exploring the road, Zhixue's two shadow clones turned into smoke and dissipated. Zhixue also slowly walked out of the exit, throwing the torch on the ground. Use a small leather boot to stomp it out and then crush it.

Zhixue glanced at the wide cave around him and took out the map. Unfortunately, the exact location was not marked on it, but it should have been placed here.

"Are you the intruder?" A white smoke gradually condensed in front of Zhixue. He said in surprise as he looked at the petite figure wearing a maid outfit in front of him.

How could such a weak brat possibly injure Azabu, who had chuunin strength? But now that we have discovered this place, we can't even think about leaving here alive.
