A figure jumped in the dark forest, and the sound of thumping sounds from afar. The figure was Ye Zi, who had just come out of Konoha, who killed Kato Duan with his own hands, but his expression under the mask was calm.

At this time, Bai Jue suddenly came out of a tree and walked side by side with Ye Zi.

Ye Zi thinks that his perception is not bad, but he doesn't feel the elusive Bai Jue every time.

"Although I have seen many ninjas defecting from the village after killing their close friends, I am still curious about your current mood." Bai Jue turned his head to look at Ye Zi, and laughed, with obvious gloating.

Ye Zi glanced at him through the mask and asked, "You've been there all the time?"

Bai Jue said, "Yes, you don't want to blame me for not showing up to help you, right?"

Ye Zi withdrew his gaze and remained silent.

If Bai Jue had taken action at that time, he could have easily escaped Kato's pursuit. The moment he stopped, he made a decision.

He knew very well the horror of spiritual transformation. When facing Kato Duan, who can also use spiritual transformation techniques, keeping his hands is the stupidest behavior.

However, if you kill, you will kill it. At least one less threat will be taken in the future. Moreover, the talent of the leader Kato Duan is no less than Orochimaru. Now that Konoha has lost such talents, it will be equivalent to breaking the number of fingers in the subsequent war, which is also the result Ye Zi is happy to see.

According to the information collected by Bai Jue, Konoha's family is the dominant one among the major ninja villages. As expected, they will definitely win the war.

Ye Zi has no ability to control the war in the ninja world, but it is not a bad thing to consume the strength of the ninja village. He left the scroll recording the Iwa Ninja defense and supply routes without deep thought, but if he could consume the strength of the Iwa Ninja, it would be the best.

"Oh, you won't be angry, are you?" Bai Jue looked at Ye Zi who was silent.

Ye Zi directly put aside this question and asked: "Have you succeeded in the forbidden technique scroll?"

Bai Jue spread his hands and said regretfully: "I originally got it, but when I met a powerful guy, I was stolen."

Ye Zi frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "With your ability, who can keep you?"

Bai Jue was a little embarrassed. If it weren't too arrogant, it would be no problem to escape. However, he wouldn't say this, and replied: "It's Habuki Mizuno. This guy may become famous in the ninja world in the future."

"Is he..."

Ye Zi thought silently that he had not obtained the forbidden technique scroll, which was a small regret. This time he returned to Konoha's goal and ended in failure, but it didn't matter. When the war broke out, or after the war, he had many opportunities to go to Konoha again.

Although my desire for the forbidden scroll is not as strong as before, it is not impossible to get a glimpse of its appearance.

When talking about Shuimen, Bai Jue directly told Ye Zi about Shuimen's ability, beware that Ye Zi would not be caught off guard when he encountered Shuimen in the future.

When he heard Bai Jue's narration, if it were Ye Zi in the past, he would probably be so excited, because the ability of Mizunomiya to use may be related to space-time ninjutsu. However, after receiving Madara's baptism, he didn't care so much, but just kept it in his heart. He would not know nothing when he met Mizunomiya in the future.

The two gradually moved away from the direction of Konoha Village and headed towards Kyoto, the country of fire.

Xiao’s first step is to make money. When it comes to this period, it is unrealistic to make money in war. If you want to make money quickly in a short period of time, in addition to receiving high rewards from the black market, there is another way, that is, the wealth of the Yunhe family.

He once said to Yunhe Muzi in his heart that he would never see you again, and he didn't want Yunhe Muzi's help one day.

Daming, the current wife of the Kingdom of Fire, is the head of the Yunhe family. None of these matters, but the Yunhe family has a lot of wealth.

"It's a pity that because of your death, the black market reward was cancelled. Otherwise, I would just exchange you for a large sum of money. Why bother to run so hard?" During the boring journey, Bai Jue habitually said some nutritious words.

Ye Zi usually chooses to ignore this, although Bai Jue still enjoys it...

……………………………………………………………………

Kato died and the funeral was held as scheduled.

The black color was pulled from the tombstone to the outside of the garden, and it was endless, forming a strong contrast with the scene after Ye Zi's death.

Kato has always had a wide range of popularity in Konohari and is outstanding in ability, so he is one of the candidates for the Naruto position. And there will naturally be many people attending the funeral after his death.

Tsunade seemed to have lost her soul, silently staring at Kato's tombstone, while Kuyuna was accompanying her.

Anyone with a strong heart will have times of vulnerability as long as he has weaknesses.

Sarutobi was also wearing black clothes, standing in the front line.

The atmosphere during the war became increasingly urgent, and Kato's sudden death was a substantial loss for Konoha.

According to post-inspection, Kato Duo's body surface did not suffer any substantial fatal damage. This method of death usually occurs on enemies fighting Kato Duo, which is the result of being attacked by the spiritualization technique.

It is undeniable that there are other ninjutsu that can achieve this kind of killing enemy effect, which is mainly related to the speculation of spiritualization techniques.

The only thing that was affected by the battle was a cut off tree root. In addition, the scrolls specially left by the enemy and the human-shaped trees left after the on-site battle are what Sarutobi cares most.

That is not the ordinary tree trunk that is commonly used by the substitute technique, but the wooden clone... that is, the wooden clone of the wooden escape!

The scroll is not a trap scroll, but a scroll that records the Iwagen defense and supply routes, but its authenticity needs to be examined.

Compared to the scroll, Sarutobi cares more about the products behind the wood clone.

Wood escape...the signature escape technique of the first generation of Naruto.

Konoha Village had previously conducted an experiment, injecting refined and cultivated Hashirama cells into the human body, hoping to create a ninja that can use wood escape, but failed.

People who volunteered to be the test subject died of the explosion of the squid intercellular cells in their bodies, and were protruded by trees, without exception.

At this point, the experiment was sealed, and the idea of ​​using human power to create a ninja who could use wood escape became a delusion.

Now, Wooden Escape appeared without warning, and Sarutobi had no clue about this person. The key points involved were Kato's death method, Wooden Escape, Scroll, and Red Cloud's outfit on the black background.

(Revised here: The black-bottomed Hongyun was only available after Ye Zi joined. Before that, it should have been just black clothes.)

"It cannot be the result of that experiment." Sarutobi looked at the tombstone surrounded by flowers and rejected this speculation.

"So, who is it? The ability to use Wooden Escape must be related to Konoha, which can also explain why the other party can sneak in quietly."

In a vague manner, Sarutobi felt a little uneasy.

After the ceremony of commemorating the dead, the black current in the cemetery dispersed.

Tsunade still stayed here, and other people accompanied her were Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kuyukina, and Hatsukimura.

The group of people, dressed in black, stayed here like this.

Kuyuna looked at Tsunade and sighed in her heart, as if she had thought of something, her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Ye Zi's tombstone.

How much weight a person has in the hearts of others may be seen by a funeral.
