Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Root Contact

Inside the courtyard, Qingchuan's standard chopping technique remained unchanged.

Orochimaru hasn't shown up for a day.

To be honest, Qingchuan is not quite used to it.

Although it was difficult to actually hit the guy, Qingchuan always felt a sense of pleasure just by having his knife pointed at the guy's face.

As for Itachi...

After reporting the situation to the ANBU, the two parted ways.

Those two junior ninjas were actually quite capable.

In front of the Anbu, he kept thanking Aokawa, saying a lot of things like, "If it weren't for Haruko, we might have..."

No one investigated his unauthorized departure from the village.

As I said before...

Even if the sky falls, Itachi will still be there to hold it up.

The mission failed, regardless of the reason, it was Itachi's team's mission after all...

It has nothing to do with him.

Who can criticize a kind girl who stood up for others when she saw injustice?

Especially such a beautiful girl!

otherwise.

It's all a disgrace to that floral dress he's wearing!

The chopping continued...

Having realized the importance of the basics, Qingchuan's focus in his training returned to the most primal chopping and hacking techniques.

Only when basic physical fitness improves.

Only with Shikai, the power of the Slash Fist and the Demon Slayer Technique, and the power of the Sharingan can they be used more effectively.

The cheat code makes up for the talent attribute.

And the rest is up to him...

Itachi's Sharingan has finally been activated.

Moreover, he also became enemies with Tu Zi Ge.

The chances of a 1v2 situation on the day the skirt is removed are getting higher and higher...

"Well! It seems like the teacher is really busy today."

"Can't you take a break, Haruko?"

"I'm still replacing my spiritual practice with eating meatballs," Hongdou muttered.

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me, your senior!"

Without comparison, there is no harm.

As a senior student, Hongdou is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the dignity she deserves as a "senior."

Orochimaru had two disciples.

One is responsible for cultivation, and the other is responsible for...eating.

She was in charge of the food, and also responsible for the meals of her junior classmates.

This made Hongdou feel a little threatened by this cute junior...

"Hmm... Senior, what are we having for lunch today?"

As soon as he stopped what he was doing, Qingchuan turned around and unleashed his partially mastered recovery buff at Hongdou.

"Ichiraku Ramen, of course!"

"We haven't eaten for a week! We have to make up for it today!"

A sense of crisis and such.

The senior's dignity and such.

Screw it...

Hongdou's awareness ensured that she wouldn't miss any lunch.

"Um... I'd like a super large portion, could you please pack it up for me, senior?"

"Of course, you can bring it back to me after you finish eating, I'm not that hungry right now."

Qingchuan said with a smile.

But when he uttered the word "packing"...

The red bean has long since disappeared.

"What a... good-for-nothing."

Qingchuan raised an eyebrow, then his expression gradually turned cold.

"You've been watching for so long, it's time to come out."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for anyone in the yard to hear.

And just as Qingchuan finished speaking...

Two masked figures then appeared behind him.

They maintained a certain distance, not out of fear, but to block the direction from which Qingchuan could break through the door.

Qingchuan had never met the two of them before.

However, the similar feeling deep in their souls was not difficult to distinguish.

The root.

"As expected of Orochimaru's disciple, he discovered us so easily."

One of his hands seemed to be flattering him, but his other hand was firmly pressed on the hilt of his sword behind him, ready to strike at any moment.

"However, the elder has ordered that Lady Haruko cooperate with Root in conducting an investigation."

"This is also an order that Lord Orochimaru agreed to."

"Please come with us, Lady Haruko?"

A familiar scent, familiar words.

However, this time the root's attitude was clearly less aggressive than before, and they were talking in a consultative tone instead.

After all, he was Orochimaru's disciple.

We won't give face to the Uchiha clan, but we still have to give face to Orochimaru.

Moreover...

Ever since a colleague returned from the same mission completely crippled and was treated like trash...

Regarding the mission concerning this Uchiha girl.

At the roots, extra caution is taken.

"I'm not going, get out."

"Or I'll kill you all."

Regardless of how the attitude of the root causes changes.

Qingchuan's answer remained consistent.

There's no way he'd go to the root area, no matter the reason, he'd never go there in his lifetime.

That place is pretty much like a small red-light barbershop...

These are places where once you go in, you basically can't get out.

He's still a child; protecting himself is very important...

Then I'll just have to confess to Lord Orochimaru later.

The two roots exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and a growing sense of unease in their companion's eyes...

Ruthless!
