Remnant bones

"The weather is good today..." Looking at the sky above...the sky covered with dark clouds, I held a dark black umbrella and said in a rather pleasant tone.

Not surprisingly, countless black lines were drawn on the head of the bag beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.No matter how you look at it, this kind of weather is a prelude to a heavy rainstorm, but it is actually "not bad"...

"Maro, are you all ready?" I turned my head slightly, and asked the little figure beside me.

"Well, it's done!" Wearing a tailor-made black cloak, Jun Malu supported the bamboo hat that was obviously too big, and responded quite excitedly.After coming to the base for so long, it was the first time for him to travel far away. Even when he was in the Hui Ye clan, the farthest he had been was only to his brother's house not far outside the village.For the outside world, as a child, he always has an instinctive yearning... I don't know, what is the outside world like?

However, when it comes to preparations... Jun Ma Lu suddenly came back to his senses, looked at his rainproof cloak, and at his brother's white bathrobe and paper umbrella, which were the same as usual.No matter how I look at it, I feel... the person who is not ready is not me!

"Well, brother..." Frowning delicately, Jun Malu was slightly dissatisfied in worry, and said, "Is it okay for you to dress like this? It will definitely rain soon, and shoes..." Only now did I notice that it was actually clogs... What the hell was my brother thinking!They are not drinking tea at home, but going on a long trip!

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Jun Malu's face, I had a headache, and was about to tell him that it's okay for me to wear it like this, but I saw the pocket who knew how to seize the moment and came forward, shaking off the black one that was obviously prepared for me. cloak.So, Jun Malu stared at me even more fiercely!

Seeing the helplessness on Jun Mai's face, the smile on Dou's face became brighter and brighter.He actually knew that although he couldn't use ninjutsu, Jun Mai's precise control and use of CKL had already surpassed him by a lot.After refusing to put on the cloak, he guessed that the other party planned to use CKL to cover the surface of the body with a thin layer of energy shield, which not only achieved the effect of blocking the rain, but also trained him to finely control CKL.

However, it is a rare opportunity to take advantage of Jun Malu and see a child who is not like a child eating a turtle!I don't want to waste any money, after all, the opportunity is rare... He is not "revenge", definitely not... no wonder!

Well, I surrender... I stretched out my hand and rubbed my temples, I will never be able to explain my plan to Junmaro, and it will definitely only have the opposite effect of him not wanting to wear the cloak.I gave the smiling "accomplice" a hard look, and I resignedly took the cloak and put it on.

In fact, when I guessed that I would leave the base today, I was already prepared.The weight I usually carry on my body, in order not to affect the speed of the journey, I removed the weight-bearing bracelets on my limbs, sealed them in the scroll with the sealing technique I just learned, and tied them together with other things to the belt behind my waist. Location.A head of long hair that was almost at the ground was also folded a few times with a red rope, and a high ponytail was tied behind the head.I didn't prepare for the other things, so of course it wasn't necessary... Who knew, but I was tricked by this smiling little fox!

I resolutely didn’t wear a bamboo hat, because my eyesight range is smaller than that of ordinary people, and rain can easily affect my hearing. I would not wear a bamboo hat that would block my vision.With an umbrella, it's all the same to me.As for the clogs... As one of my usual heavy-duty items, I will never compromise.

After being stubborn with me for a while, Jun Malu, who originally planned to "resist the war" to the end, finally chose to give up under my cold eyes.

At least my brother has already put on the cloak, and the others... it shouldn't matter... I found some comfort in my heart, Jun Malu resolutely refused to admit that after being glared at by my brother, I reflexively surrendered!

"Ready? It's going to be a while, it's not easy to walk... Hehehe..." With the iconic hoarse laughter, Orochimaru appeared at the gate of the base wearing the same outfit as Kimomaro.Of course, compared to Jun Malu, who was obviously dressed in mismatched clothes, he obviously wore the aura that only villain bosses can have.

But what is different from our cloak is that there are a few blood-red auspicious clouds embroidered on Orochimaru's black cloak.There is also a small wind chime hanging on the edge of the bamboo hat, which makes a rhythmic and crisp sound with the undulating frequency of the steps.

The ice-blue left eye is slightly narrowed. If I remember correctly, I have seen him leave the base in this suit a few times.I always feel that it is not just a difference in pattern, this cloak gives me the feeling that it is very similar to the so-called... uniform?It's strange...the base doesn't have the habit of wearing a uniform, and I don't seem to have heard of any organization that Orochimaru has joined.In other words, with Orochimaru's strength and character, he should not be willing to submit to others... unless the opponent's strength is stronger than him, and so strong that he cannot resist!

Very dangerous... After being able to access most of the outside information collected by Dou, I have never discovered such a terrifying organization.It is not ruled out that Orochimaru and Dou have removed this information, but it is impossible to delete it without leaving a trace.There will be such a result, it can only show that the opponent is also far more powerful than Orochimaru!but……

...it has nothing to do with me.

Taking Orochimaru's strength as the criterion for joining that unknown organization, the current me is far behind!Since it has nothing to do with me, I don't need to go into that muddy water, let's talk about it when they find me.The key thing now is that the research direction of Dashewan is more beneficial to the development of specific medicines for genetic diseases.Hurry up is to gain the trust of Orochimaru, which is my primary goal... I have no interest in fighting for world hegemony.

"Then, Dou..." Orochimaru didn't care about my silence, and told Dou who was standing aside, "Please stay and 'look at the house'."

"No problem! Leave it to me, Oshemaru-sama!" Confidently raised his hand, he waved to Junmaro and me, and said goodbye with a smile: "Oshemaru-sama, Kaguya-kun, and Kimomaro, I wish you all the best!" Good luck with you!"

"En." He nodded without thinking, which was regarded as a response.I straightened Jun Malu's bamboo hat, and before leaving, I said: "Don't force yourself for a while, if you can't hold on, just tell me."

"...Oh..." He agreed on his lips, but Jun Malu didn't care in his heart.No matter how you look at it, it is the elder brother who needs others to take care of him!You are already strong, don't always underestimate him...

It’s not that I didn’t notice what he was thinking, but I just smiled secretly. It’s not good to improve your strength too fast. It’s time to teach him a little lesson... Pride is absolutely unacceptable for a ninja .

"Hehe... Jun Mai, you look good today?" As if sensing something in my eyes, Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully at me.

"It's okay." After more than a year of careful recuperation, except for the occasional episode of lying down for two weeks, my body is now better than ever before.After all, it's just that I have poor resistance. I didn't have good conditions for self-cultivation before. As long as I pay attention, my physique is not as weak as others imagined.My physique data, which is three times higher than that of Junma Lu, is not just for show!

"In this case, we can 'slightly' speed up a bit... Don't fall behind! Hehehe..." With a weird smile, Orochimaru turned his head and glanced at Junmaro, and raised his eyebrows at me again.Turn around and take a few steps up and down, disappearing into the dense forest.

To test the bottom line of my ability... It doesn't matter, he can't let him underestimate this!A silver light flashed in my eyes, and I whispered softly: "Let's go." After saying that, I followed up.

"Yes!" He replied happily, and Jun Malu quickly followed.

According to the map provided by Dou to prevent separation, the location of the destination is not too far from the base.With the footsteps of ordinary people, it takes about a day and a night.This is mainly because there are too many dense forest areas, and it is very easy to get lost in the forest.As far as ninjas are concerned, except for some individuals who are so "abnormally talented" that they will get lost in the plains, there is no such thing as going the wrong way.These journeys only take about six hours at most, and you can arrive on time.

Of course, if the weather doesn't cooperate, it needs to be extended appropriately, just like... now.

The torrential rain poured down, and the dense and huge raindrops hit the leaves in the forest with a "crackling" sound.Even if it falls on the body through the clothes, the skin will be numb after a long time.

It was just before nine o'clock in the morning, and basically the level of light and darkness in the dense forest was already comparable to five or six o'clock in the evening.In addition, the location of the base is located in the neighboring land of the country of water, which has abundant rain all year round.Most of the trees in the surrounding forests are over 50 years old, and the trunks are covered with thick moss, which is very slippery and difficult to stay on.

With this level of road conditions, even the elite Chunin had no choice but to stop and rest.Under such circumstances, only a few ronin with special skills were able to maintain a speed no less than usual.

In the heavy rain, three dark shadows shuttled among the lush branches at an extremely fast speed.The movements of the two people in front are clean and neat, and the choice of each foothold is extraordinarily tricky, but it is a part that is not easy to slip. The tight steps are accompanied by a peculiar rhythm, which looks relaxed and effortless.

Compared with the two people in front, the petite figure at the bottom seemed a little powerless.He just reluctantly followed behind, not only his steps were chaotic, but also his panting sound was extraordinarily heavy.Even when looking for a foothold several times, he stood on his heel dangerously and almost stumbled and fell.

"Ha, huh...uh..." Closing heavily, Jun Malu looked at the figure that was receding in front of him, and his vision began to blur involuntarily.He thought that his strength had surpassed his frail elder brother, so he was full of confidence before setting off.However, the reality told him a fact that he had to accept. His so-called "power" was vulnerable to a single blow in the eyes of his brother and Mr. Da Shemaru.

At the beginning, although the speed of the two people in front was fast, they were not beyond his ability. It was not difficult for Jun Malu to maintain that speed.Following them easily, he even looked around leisurely, admiring the scenery along the way.

An hour later, however, the situation is completely different.

As everyone expected, or rather, the obvious happened—it rained.The pouring rain fell instantly.Jun Malu, who had already been prepared, didn't take the rain seriously at all.But as I stepped on the stagnant water a few times, I almost slipped and fell to the ground.The impact of rain on the road has begun to become greater and greater.

It became more and more difficult to find a suitable foothold, and the additional consumption caused by maintaining the balance made Jun Malu's physical strength quickly bottom out.Only now did he know why his elder brother gave him such instructions before leaving.It turned out that from the very beginning, the only person who couldn't see his own strength was himself...

Do you want help... Such an idea flashed in my mind, but it was quickly rejected by Jun Malu!Stubborn, he bit his lip and got rid of this thought from his mind.He has to do what he said, he doesn't want his brother to look down on him... Obviously, he said he wanted to protect his brother, but it's always like this...

Because of his exhaustion, Jun Malu couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but one of his feet slipped off the tree trunk without paying attention.The emptiness of weightlessness made him involuntarily exclaim: "Ah, wow..." It's over...

After a while, a pair of slightly cold arms wrapped him in his arms, carrying a familiar faint fragrance.

"Hehehe... I reminded you, be careful not to fall behind..." A familiar hoarse voice came from not far away.

"Fool." Unceremoniously hitting his small forehead with a flick of a finger, I said sternly with a little helplessness: "Didn't I tell you not to be brave!" For play.

"But...brother, you..." You can hold on, why can't I do it!Jun Malu's eyes were full of unwillingness and stubbornness.

"Hey...it's not a question of strength, but experience." Putting him on the ground and standing firm, I couldn't help sighing, patted his head and said, "After all, I'm four years older than you. You can't be surpassed by your younger brother so easily. You are still young, and I can teach you slowly in the future."

Hearing what I said, Jun Malu felt a lot more comfortable, but he didn't have the dissatisfaction he had at the beginning, but he still had a trace of reluctance, and he replied in a muffled voice: "Hmm..."

"Hehe... Let's take a break! Today's road is not easy to walk..." Orochimaru picked up the umbrella I dropped to catch Junmaro, smiled and handed it to me and said: "Afternoon Just get there before three o'clock." He didn't fall behind at all... Maybe I underestimated him before...

"Thank you." I don't know whether I am thanking him for helping me pick up the umbrella, or thanking him for calling to stop and rest.I didn't feel any abnormality at all. I shook the fallen leaves and silt on the umbrella to block the raindrops falling on my head. I lowered my head and took Jun Malu's hand: "Let's go to a place a little ahead, and I accidentally noticed a cave there , it’s not very deep, there should be no beasts. Let’s go..." The last sentence was addressed to Junma Lu beside him.

"Hmm." Jun Malu tightened his palms in a soft reply.A trace of attachment flashed in his eyes...

"Hehehe... that's fine." Orochimaru, who seemed to be in a good mood since yesterday, agreed.A pair of light golden snake pupils flickered slightly in the dark jungle, making them extremely eye-catching.

At 25:[-] p.m., the three of them arrived at their destination—the secret place of the North.
