No one knows Hokage better than me

After escaping the pursuit of the roots, Ji Zhixing walked all the way south. Almost three days later, he finally saw the border between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Tea.

The terrain at the junction of the two countries is complex, with the Hengduan Mountains crisscrossing it.

In addition, the moonlight was dim tonight, and Ji Zhixing had not had a good rest in the past few days, so he was afraid that traveling overnight would be dangerous.

After weighing the situation, Ji Zhixing decided to rest here for one night and leave the Country of Fire early tomorrow.

It is not a wise choice to light a fire in the mountain forest, but there are many weeds here, and if you don't light a fire, you may be targeted by wild beasts and poisonous insects.

Reluctantly, Ji Zhixing had no choice but to use ninjutsu to carve out a cave as wide as one person and a stone chamber of more than ten square meters inside the cave.

Then he blocked the entrance of the cave with weeds, and then he slept peacefully in the stone room.

I don't know how long it took, but Ji Zhixing heard a strange noise coming from outside the cave.

He thought he was dreaming, but the strange noise got closer and closer to him, until after a roar, a pile of gravel fell from the cave, almost smashing his head.

Ji Zhixing suddenly woke up, sneaked to the entrance of the cave, pulled apart the grass, and looked out from the crack.

He saw two children shorter than himself under the dim moonlight, bending over and holding on to the stone, breathing loudly.

There was a faint sound not far away, but it sounded like the sound of ninjas rushing on their way.

Ji Zhixing made random guesses in his mind. At this time, the taller child outside said anxiously: "Hurry up and run away with the scroll."

The short child seemed to be very scared. When he heard that the other party risked his life to save himself, instead of running away, he collapsed on the ground and started crying.

His crying was bad news, and the footsteps behind him suddenly gathered.

"Let's go quickly. If we don't run away, we'll all be dead."

Ji Zhixing heard clearly now that the speaker was a boy.

"Wow woo woo woo"

The little child burst into tears, he and she were completely broken.

The boy had no choice but to carry the child who was lying on the ground. Unexpectedly, several black shadows surrounded them.

"I finally caught you. Hand over the scroll." A man with a hoarse voice shouted sternly.

Seeing that he could not escape, the boy placed his companion on a stone aside and comforted him: "Xiaoyi, if you don't cry, my brother will take you to find your mother right away."

After saying that, the boy turned to face the burly pursuer and said solemnly: "The forbidden technique of shaving is a secret technique passed down from generation to generation in the Daofeng family. Since the water shadow wants to send people to kill our family, how can I use the secret technique?" I leave the scroll to you."

Listening to what the boy said, he and the people who were chasing him were actually from Kirigakure Village.

"Kid, you two are the only ones left in the Daofeng clan. No matter how hard you struggle, when you die, the scroll will not belong to us," the man with a hoarse voice said boldly.

"Hum, even if I die, I will never let you get the secret scroll." The boy said as he was about to destroy the scroll.

A dark shadow flew away, and the kunai hit the boy's vitals.

Ji Zhixing originally thought that the boy was gone, but unexpectedly, the black figure screamed, blood spattered, stumbled back a few steps and fell to the ground without making any sound.

"It's the forbidden art of shaving. I didn't expect such a young kid to have learned it." A dark figure couldn't help but get angry, but he didn't dare to get close to the boy.

"Don't panic, he is just a brat after all, and his combat experience is much worse than ours."

"As long as we join forces and don't let this brat touch me, there's nothing to be afraid of in the forbidden art of shaving."

The man with a hoarse voice finished speaking and attacked the boy first: "Water Escape Water Dragon Bullet"

The water dragon transformed from chakra fiercely attacked the boy. As a result, the black shadow that had just fallen to the ground stood up and actually blocked the attack for the boy.

Ji Zhixing was shocked. This so-called forbidden technique of shaving seemed to be a bit strong.

"Yes, don't be afraid, let's go together."

Another man mustered up his fighting spirit and used "Water Wave" to knock down the boy and the black shadow.

The child on the stone cried even louder when he saw this scene.

At this time, a black shadow flashed, and then the child on the stone was stabbed in the head by a kunai.

"Xiaoyi" the boy exclaimed.

However, he couldn't care about others at all. A black shadow jumped into the air and threw more than ten shurikens at the boy lying in the water.

The boy rolled and crawled and barely managed to avoid the attack, but what awaited him was another black shadow's dagger.

"what"

The boy shouted and grabbed the dagger with his hand. As long as he could touch the enemy, he could use the forbidden technique of shaving. For this reason, he would not hesitate even if his arm was broken.

The black shadow obviously knew the boy's ability. The moment the boy touched the dagger, the black shadow turned into a pool of water, which turned out to be water.

As expected, the boy had too little combat experience. Before he could react, another hand stretched out from the water and trapped him in the water prison.

"You brat, how dare you put us through so much effort?"

As the man spoke, he used a "water whip" outside the water prison to restrain the boy's movements to prevent the boy from actually destroying the secret scroll.

Ji Zhixing peeked at the entrance of the cave for so long that he almost understood the strength of the people who were chasing the boy. After some inner struggle, he finally decided to save the boy's life.

The person who was chasing the boy had already used the "water whip" to get the secret scroll, and was about to throw several kunai tied with explosive charms into the water prison.

Ji Zhixing took action decisively, using "lightning" to cut off everyone's sight, kicking the water body apart, and then rescued the boy.

Without any hesitation, Ji Zhixing injected chakra into the "Thunder and Lightning" card again. When the electricity was discharged between his fingers, the black figure holding the scroll was instantly struck by lightning.

The man who was chasing the boy obviously didn't expect anyone to intervene, so he only thought of fighting back now.

But it was already too late, Ji Zhixing quickly snatched the scroll, then pulled the boy and disappeared into the mountains.

The complex terrain at the junction of the Country of Fire and the Country of Tea is not conducive to movement, but it also provides Ji Zhixing with a way to survive.

After a panicked escape, the two hid in a vine bush.

Ji Zhixing was afraid that the boy would misunderstand, so he immediately returned the scroll to the boy.

The boy silently took the scroll and put it away. After a long time, he whispered: "Thank you for saving me."

Ji Zhixing smiled slightly and motioned to the boy not to speak for the time being, and to wait until his pursuers were far away before going out.

The boy nodded, and then the two of them hid quietly in the bushes until dawn. After making sure that the enemy was unlikely to catch up, they cautiously walked to the open place.

Ji Zhixing took a look at the boy. He was not tall but very strong. He had an ordinary appearance but extraordinarily bright eyes.

He was wearing a slate-gray top and dark blue shorts. It may have been torn when someone chased him before. There are several large and small holes in the body, and there is a lot of mud and water on it.

However, even so, the boy wearing this clothes still looks very energetic and sunny overall, and it will not make people feel uncomfortable standing next to him.

Seeing that Ji Zhixing had been looking at him, the boy couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he said again: "Thank you for saving me."

Ji Zhixing smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think it's too much for a few adults to bully a child, so I helped you as much as I could."

The boy looked solemn, looked up at Dongfang, and sighed: "Xiaoyi must have been killed by Mizukage's subordinates."

"Is Xiaoyi the child who was hunted down with you?"

Ji Zhixing thought that a child was indeed shot in the head by a kunai last night. If he was not sure that she was hopeless, Ji Zhixing would not have left her alone.

The boy nodded and sighed again.

When Ji Zhixing saw that the boy was being hunted down at a young age, and that his pursuers were ninjas from the Shadow Shadow Village, he couldn't help but think of the "Blood Mist Village".

"That's your sister, right? I'm really sorry that I couldn't save her." Ji Zhixing sympathized with the boy's experience.

I thought that the girl was the sister of the child in front of me, but the boy shook his head and said: "She is not my sister, but like me, she was once a member of the Daofeng clan."

Ji Zhixing was shocked. The boy in front of him was willing to sacrifice just for the sake of ordinary girls of his own race. Unlike himself, he did not have a soul in his twenties. He was just a child of seven or eight years old.

In fact, Ji Zhixing later asked the boy why he wanted to save an ordinary tribesman. The boy's answer was simple. The other person was younger than him. In that case, he should bear the responsibility of his elder brother.

Such an answer once made Ji Zhixing respect the boy, but that was for the funeral. Now Ji Zhixing only felt that the boy in front of him did not look like a bad person, so he wanted to leave him with his friends:

"My name is Matsubara Ji Zhixing, and what about you?"

"My name is Feng Ya'an." The boy seemed a little apprehensive.

Ji Zhixing smiled brightly: "Listening to those bad people, it seems that your people have already suffered. I am also an orphan. How about we grow up together in the future?"

The boy looked up at Ji Zhixing and saw that the other party was indeed not here for his secret scroll. Then he put down his doubts and accepted it calmly: "Okay."
