No one knows Hokage better than me

The blood wave returned to its original form, and the Kirigakure team took advantage of this to slip away.

The nine-tailed chakra in Naruto gradually receded, but Sasuke was still shocked by the former's performance just now: Is this still the Naruto I know?

Sasuke doubted his life. Sakura had never been Naruto's match. No matter how powerful Naruto was, she was only surprised.

Looking at the young man in red floating on the sea, Naruto began to say, "Who are you and why did you become like this?"

Xue Lang's body was seriously injured, and even if Master Umibo saved his life, he would not be able to stand up again in a short period of time. Naturally, he would not think too hard.

He answered whatever the enemy asked: "I am originally from the Kingdom of City. When I was seven years old, a red-haired man controlled a doll to destroy my country. At that time, I hid in the basement without making a sound. Only then did I A lucky escape with his life.”

"Then it got dark and my stomach growled with hunger."

"Although I am very scared. But I feel like I will starve to death if I don't eat something."

"After struggling for half an hour, I finally plucked up the courage to go outside to find something to eat."

"There were corpses everywhere in the town. I was so scared that I almost suffocated."

"I closed my eyes and ran forward randomly, but I bumped into something."

"For a moment, I thought I was going to be killed too, and I sat on the ground crying."

"At this time, the black-haired man in front of me reached out and pulled me up. He sympathized with my situation and said that he would take me out of the country of cities and take me to the pure land of dreams."

The black-haired man Xue Lang spoke of was naturally Orochimaru. At this point, he was still full of gratitude and respect for the latter.

But later he learned that the so-called "Pure Land of Dreams" was just a place Orochimaru used to realize his ambitions.

Although he is far luckier than other experimental subjects, in Xue Lang's heart, he really looks forward to the kind of pure land without war and killing.

Xuelang didn't continue talking. He was as slow as Naruto and guessed the former's tragic experience of being "trafficked" and "cheated".

For a moment, Naruto, overflowing with sympathy, almost gave the boy who had just nearly killed them a big hug.

Fortunately, Ji Zhixing appeared in time and persuaded Naruto and the others to leave as the person in charge of the examination.

When Konoha Class 7's boat disappeared from sight, Ji Zhixing turned to look at Xue Lang.

He had clearly seen the latter's performance just now. Such a person was worthy of being accepted as his subordinate.

After all, Xue Lang was given up by Orochimaru himself. His doing so was definitely not poaching.

And listening to what Tianzhi said just now, after Orochimaru gave up the "Sea Demon" experiment, he seemed to have cooperated with Danzo.

Thinking about it, Ji Zhixing came up with the trick: "Do you know Danzo? He is the pineapple head with a bandage on his left eye."

Xue Lang thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"How much do you know about what he and Tianzhi did?" Ji Zhixing asked.

Although Xue Lang is the most perfect mermaid, he is only an experimental subject.

Not to mention that Tianzhi had to avoid his assistants and experimental subjects every time he received "guests". He had only seen the pineapple head in front of him once, and those who came to negotiate with Tianzhi later had colorful faces. Mask man.

Thinking of this, he told the truth: "I only met him once. The people who came to Demon World Island later wore colorful masks, but from the hairstyle, we can infer that they are not the pineapple heads you call them."

Ji Zhixing nodded, and then asked: "The man who once took you out of the Kingdom of City has abandoned you, and the person in charge of Demon World Island is also dead. What are you going to do next?"

Xuelang was pushed into a pit by Orochimaru when he was seven years old. Now he is like a kite with a broken string, unable to touch the north at all.

Seeing the confused look on the young man's face, Ji Zhixing secretly amused himself and used a kind tone to fool him: "Although you injured a competitor, as the person in charge, I should deal with you here."

"But since you didn't do it voluntarily and the main criminal is dead, I won't blame you much."

"Now I give you two choices. One is to accept my suggestion and join Mingyin Village to start over. The other is to fight with me now."

"I'll give you three minutes to think about it. Once you join Mingyin Village, any betrayal will be severely punished. And if you don't accept the suggestion, be prepared to die.

"After all, you are no match for me, the Jonin of Mingying Village."

Ji Zhixing deliberately said "Jounin" very loudly to prevent the young man from not hearing clearly and making an unwise choice.

Just now, when the blood wave set off a huge vortex, he secretly rescued Honglian. Now he opened the vial containing Yun Shengxiao's special "cooling liquid" and put it under his nostrils, using mint and mugwort to distribute it. The strong smell irritated her.

The sleeping Guren twisted her neck to avoid the strong smell, but no matter how she resisted, the smell was always strong.

Soon, she woke up

As soon as she saw a stranger in front of her, Honglian immediately used her crystal escape to condense a crystal knife and held it in her hand, asking: "Who are you?"

"I am the person in charge of this competition. I know everything that happened just now."

"You are not here to win the competition, but you want to give Orochimaru the body of the Mikaki clan who has developed his potential, right?"

Ji Zhixing asked solemnly in the tone of a responsible person.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Honglian hurriedly stood up and distanced herself from the black-haired boy. She held the crystal knife and said proudly: "So what?"

Ji Zhixing was not angry. Instead, he looked like he wanted to sit down and have a good discussion with the other party. His tone was calm: "You should know that Mingyin Village and Yinyin Village are allies. You are undoubtedly hurting the ninjas from other countries who come to participate in the worship ceremony. Discrediting Mingyin Village is not what an ally should do."

Guren looked disdainful, "I don't care about neighboring countries and allies. I just want to be recognized by Lord Orochimaru. Even if I sacrifice myself for this, I will give my life with a smile."

Guren was so loyal to Orochimaru, which Ji Zhixing did not expect.

It seems that if Yuukimaru hadn't awakened the tenderness deep in Guren's heart, she would have fought to the last moment for Orochimaru like Kimimaro in the isekai anime.

"Orochimaru already has Kimimaro as his turning vessel, and you won't be of any value if you stay with him."

"Let me tell you secretly, the Uchiha boy you wanted to capture just now has been planted with the Curse Seal of Heaven, and is Orochimaru's next turning vessel."

"Orochimaru, whom you admire and respect, doesn't take you to heart at all."

Ji Zhixing unceremoniously attacked Honglian, and at the same time bloodyly exposed Orochimaru's face.

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him." Ji Zhixing, who knows this well, has never really cooperated with Orochimaru. Now that the latter is not around, he can say whatever he wants.

Guren, who failed to give the experimental subjects of the Uchiha clan and the Mikigaki clan to Orochimaru, was already overwhelmed by guilt and anger.

Now that he was stimulated by this again, he shouted on the spot and stabbed Ji Zhixing with the crystal knife: "You are not allowed to speak ill of Lord Orochimaru."

With a click, the crystal and kunai collided and completely shattered into pieces.

Without enough chakra shaping, even a crystal knife would be vulnerable.

The more Honglian wanted to kill the nonsense-talking boy in front of her, the less energetic she became.

Finally, her body shook a few times and fell down softly.

Ji Zhixing was confused when he suddenly remembered that Honglian had been poisoned by sea anemone before, so he took out a "Blood Extracting Yin and Yang Pill" made mainly from Yin and Yang flowers and his blood and fed it to him.

From Honglian's eyes just now, Ji Zhixing already knew that it was impossible for him to take refuge in him, so when the former woke up again, he solemnly said:

"I detoxified the sea anemone for you, and I will let you go, but I want you to remember clearly that you owe our Mingyin Village a favor."

Although Honglian was unwilling to give in, the fact was that she could not refute it.

She snorted coldly, stood up again and rowed away. Although she didn't admit it personally, she knew better than anyone that she owed a huge favor.

Playing the long game to catch the big fish, Ji Zhixing smiled lightly and turned to look at Xue Lang: "How about you choose to start over again or fight with me here?"

The boy in red looked at Ji Zhixing, his eyes became more determined, and finally he mustered up the courage to say: "Although I am just an experimental subject, I don't want to end my life like this."

"Since I came to this world and was transformed into the most perfect mermaid, I should continue to exist."

"So, I want to join Mingyin Village and choose a completely different path to go on."

Ji Zhixing secretly rejoiced, "Okay, since you accepted the suggestion, from now on, you are a member of Mingyin Village. Let us work together for the prosperity of the village."

Xue Lang nodded, and then left with Ji Zhixing.
