Dancer of Konoha

Chapter 17 The Desolate Land

The waves in the sky are easy to fade, and the heat is hard to stay. In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

After Yanyan killed the Centurion Heroic Spirit holding the Golden Melon and Bronze Hammer, a few days after Lao Dao revived, his strength was promoted to the Centurion Heroic Spirit level.

Only then did Yan Yan realize that the bloody energy after the death of the skeletal heroic spirit not only strengthened himself, but also improved the strength of other skeletal heroic spirits.

However, since then Lao Dao has become quite strange. He no longer goes to other battlefields with Yan Yan to pursue enemies. On the contrary, when Yan Yan comes to the dungeon every day, he will first engage in a seemingly endless and fierce battle with Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was very happy at first. With Lao Dao as his sparring partner, his strength also improved rapidly.

However, as Yanyan's strength increased rapidly, Lao Dao gradually became unable to defeat Yan Yan. However, Yan Yan was unwilling to kill Lao Dao. Whenever Lao Dao would pester him endlessly and take on a life-or-death stance, Yan Yan would bring his head full of blood. Wu Shui ran away irritably.

Lao Dao was his comrade-in-arms and his teacher in the dungeon, but the sudden changes in the past two years made Yan Yan very sad, even a little strange, and he felt a lot of blockage in his heart.

Holding back his anger, he kept looking for other skeletal heroes to vent his anger. He was repeatedly trapped in the mud of the battle formation and was crushed by thousands of armies.

Gradually, the murderous aura on Yanyan's body became more and more fierce, and he absorbed more and more blood-colored energy. His eyes, which were originally black and white, gradually changed color, becoming more and more bloody and scarlet, as if there was a suppressed and unbearable energy hidden in them. Live violently.

The old monk Shan He was also very surprised when he first found out. However, except for the fact that Yanyan's eyes turned blood red, there seemed to be no other effects. He could only think that it was a sign of excessive blood energy due to Yanyan's continuous tempering of body cells.

He didn't pay too much attention to it, but turned around to study a side effect that was not considered a side effect due to the tempering of body cells by Yan Yan. Shanhe, the old monk who had just discovered it recently, didn't know how to talk to Yanyan.

Yanyan has never shown his extremely cruel murderous intention in front of others, and after all, he is in the Temple of Fire. It has gradually become Yanyan's habit to follow other senior brothers to meditate and chant Buddha every day. The viciousness of fighting in the copy at night is always there without him realizing it. All resolved during the day.

On this day, Yan Yan, who had been extremely depressed recently, was sitting in the martial arts training ground in the front courtyard, lazily looking at the sky, his thoughts slowly drifting away with the white clouds.

The changes in Lao Dao gave him a headache. He seemed to be able to feel that Lao Dao was begging for death, but he couldn't understand it. He didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

"Oh, what should I do..."

"Junior brother?"

A shadow blocked Yanyan's sight, but it was a very familiar voice.

"Acridine?! Senior brother Dilu!"

He tilted his neck and lazily opened his narrowed eyes. Yanyan was a little surprised. In the past two years, Dilu had come back twice, but the last time he left the temple, he was kicked out by Master Shanhe, who beat and scolded him. , it is said that there was some dispute between the guardian twelve ninjas.

Seeing the increasingly angry old monk Shan He, Yan Yan was so distressed that she didn't ask any questions.

"Long time no see. Last time you made Shan and Master very angry. Master's anger has not gone away yet."

Yanyan looked at the embarrassed Dilu and asked jokingly:

"What brings you back this time? Seeing how worried you are, could it be that... you have committed something?"

"No no no no"

Di Lu hurriedly waved his hands and said:

"I told you that you don't understand. It's just a conceptual conflict with your companions. It's no big deal."

Regarding the commandments, there is no need to be careless. Afraid of the naughty boy's nonsense, Di Lu also hurriedly explained.

Suddenly, a child of six or seven years old timidly stretched out his head from behind Dilu and looked at Yanyan curiously. His gray-black hair and pale face seemed to be malnourished.

The sudden appearance of the child startled Yan Yan, who was unprepared, and he jumped up with a "whoosh".

Looking at Dilu with a horrified look:

"Damn it! You have violated the precepts! You have indeed violated the precepts! It's still lust! You are having fun! Buy one, get one free! How dare you bring it back!"

I didn’t expect that.Can Senior Brother Dilu, who has always had thick eyebrows and big eyes devoted to Buddhism, not escape the influence of the world of mortals...

A sudden rush of money made Chiriku, who had no time to introduce him, have blue veins on his head. What the hell? The embarrassed Chiriku could even imagine that if all the ninja monks of the Fire Temple thought like Yan Yan, then as the heir of the Fire Temple, he could commit seppuku. committed suicide...

"Junior brother, listen to my explanation!"

"Explain it! Master is crying! Buddha is crying! Who will take over Master's place after you return to secular life! What should I do! You really haven't given up on the idea of ​​letting me become a monk! No way!"

Although Yan Yan was now just like any other monk, he had no intention of becoming a monk. When he thought of spending his whole life alone, he suddenly stood up excitedly.

"Snapped!"

"Hear me out!"

"Hi..." Yanyan knelt down and held his head in his hands.

Dilu calmed down the anger in his heart. It had been a long time since he had been angry. Ah... Amitabha, it's a sin.

"Junior brother, as a recluse, you should possess three thousand dignities and sixty thousand meticulous practices. Look at you. You are thinking wildly at a young age. There is nothing like what a monk should be like. You..."

"Okay, okay, I'm so long-winded! Don't change the topic! Let's get to the point! Is the child really yours? Master will break your three legs..."

"Snapped!!"

"If you interrupt me again, I will break three of your legs! How can you say so many weird things at such a young age!"

"Hi hi..."

Yanyan covered her red forehead.

"Don't say "yes" twice! It will make people feel very insincere! Have you thrown away all the etiquette of being a monk? As a monk, you have to pay three thousand..."

Di Lu talked for a full two hours, experiencing the addiction of being a senior brother. He seemed to want to take revenge on Yan Yan for all the long-winded teachings his master had given him.

After a while, Di Lu watched the two children taking a nap with their heads leaning against each other. He pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very satisfied with the results.

"Cough cough!"

Yanyan woke up with a start. The child who almost fell down was pulled by Dilu, caressing his head, and softly introduced to Yanyan:

"His name is Kong, he is the child of one of my companions..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were full of guilt and confusion.

null! ?

Enyan mused, another Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? No...it's just a pseudo-Jinchuuriki made by his own father...

He's just a more pitiful person, a guy even more pitiful than Gaara.

However, this was a guy with great potential. The appearance of Kong reminded Yanyan of an idea he had inadvertently had when he listened to Master Shanhe talk about the past.

"The golden horn and the silver horn..."

"His father... died in the war, leaving him alone and helpless, so I brought him back. It's not very convenient for me to live with the master, so I leave him to you."

Dilu's tone was a little heavy, as if he didn't want to say more, he just asked Yanyan to take Kong to practice together, and apologized to the master on his behalf.

"Really? Another poor person. When will the damn war really end?"

Yanyan sighed, he really couldn't imagine what he would be like if Kong's experience was replaced by his own.

Grandpa Changhe, grandma Qiqin, mother Yunqi, father idiot, sister Tiantian.

Unconsciously, I suddenly thought of my family. In this era of chaos that has not yet completely ended, if an accident happens...

Thinking of this, Yan Yan's eyes became increasingly scarlet, and there was a hint of madness in his mind.

"Ah! By the way, here's this for you. This is a piece of information about Yun Nin's physical skills that I found from Daming Mansion. You might be able to learn from it, so... I'll leave first."

"Eh? Are you leaving now? Are you really not going to see Master? You're too anxious."

Yanyan gratefully took the scroll from Dilu's hand, and Dilu's heart warmed Yanyan.

"No, Daming Mansion has been in chaos recently, and the situation is quite complicated... I won't say much more. Master... give this letter to Master for me, he will understand."

Dilu gritted his teeth, but the confusion in his eyes could not be erased.

"The Fire Temple will be your home from now on."

He didn't explain anything to Kong, just left a simple sentence, and Di Lu simply turned around and left.I think other trivial matters were explained on the way to the Fire Temple.

"Ah...really, with the "jade" dispute, it's no wonder that I don't dare to face the master."

Yan Yan looked at the always tough Di Lu with a sense of desolation as he left. He couldn't help but squeeze the scroll in his hand and shook his head.

"Master Yamawa's master has been running around for the peace of the Fire Country all his life. In his early years, he took Yamawa to serve the Daming Mansion. Now when the dispute between the "Hokage" and the "Daming" resumes, he appears to be serving the Daming Mansion, but in fact he is working hard to maintain it. I'm afraid even Shan and Master will have to think about where to go with the balanced Fire Temple."

Standing up and patting the soil, Yanyan pulled Kong, who seemed to have been abandoned again, towards Shanhe and the old monk's Zen room...
