Chapter 92 The journey of cultivation begins

"What do you know! We have common interests with the Otogakure Village. They will only target you, Konoha, and will not betray us, Sand Village." Maki's mentality began to waver.

If Dou hadn't said those mysterious words just now, maybe he wouldn't have taken the little brat's words to heart, but now...

"Yes, you have common interests, but the prerequisite is that your common interests must exceed the interests of backstabbing the Sand Village." Luo Yi lured him into the classic trap.

Prisoner's Dilemma.

Once the expected benefits of defection exceed the expected benefits of cooperation, you can only assume that the potential partner will defect.

Unfortunately, there is a prerequisite, that is, "information asymmetry", that is, there can be no connection between the "prisoners".

"Who was I thinking? Isn't this my junior brother Luo Yi?" Dou instantly landed behind Maki, smiling as innocently as he did before the first exam.

"Luo Yi, he is..." Ji Feng didn't know whether he heard the conversation between the two people just now. In addition, Dou's true identity has not been made public yet, so he did not rule out the possibility that the other party was deceiving people by pretending to be a student.

"I know, teacher. I just feel a little sorry that he caught up with us." Luo Yi raised his hand to interrupt.

"It takes so long to crush a bug. I'm worried." Dou's smile turned ferocious. "Besides, if I don't come over, you'll alienate me as a spy."

So straightforward? Is the next step going to be…

Luo Yi was a little nervous. The two opponents were both elite among the jonin, and he even had to consider dividing his attention and energy to protect Hayate.

"No, I don't plan to fight you." Kabuto suddenly stated with ease.

"What? Do you know what you are talking about?" Maki was the first to express shock and doubt about his attitude. "Our plan is only known to these two people now! As long as we kill them, the plan can proceed smoothly..."

"Did you see the sword behind him?" Kabuto didn't continue his words, but instead reminded him to pay attention to the seemingly unimportant equipment, "That is Orochimaru's favorite sword, which he usually keeps hidden in his stomach."

Maki carefully examined the Kusanagi sword and found it much more refined than the ordinary ninja tools that could be used and thrown away at will. "You mean..."

"Even Lord Orochimaru was taken advantage of by this brat. Even if the two of us go together, we will just die here. We might even be toyed with before we die." Kabuto had a new idea. It might not be a bad idea to play his cards openly.

"Asshole... I will consult Lord Kazekage about this matter. You Otonagakure will bear the consequences at your own risk." Maki cursed angrily and left in an instant.

"This is the situation, Luo Yi." Kabuto smiled helplessly and spread his hands, "I still have more things to do for Lord Orochimaru, so I regret that I can't collect your information personally. I look forward to the day when we can compete."

After saying this, the seal turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.

"Luo Yi, we..." Ji Feng's attitude was unprecedentedly humble, he was almost kneeling on one knee.

If his performance during the day could be considered excellent, then he was able to drive away Kabuto and Maki by himself at night, and his strength was far beyond that of a special jonin.

"Teacher Hayate, don't be like this." Luo Yi couldn't bear it, "Let's go back and report the truth directly to Teacher Hiruzen."

"What about you?" Ji Feng was more curious about other situations.

"I went straight home. I also have to prepare what I will explain to Mr. Hiruzen tomorrow...about Hinata Hanabi." Luo Yi knew what he wanted to ask.

"I understand." Ji Feng understood the subtext.

Don’t ask now, I’m making up the reason.

...

"Let me repeat, when you were practicing refining chakra, a part of your Yin-Yang escape remained in Hanabi's meridian system. When she saw Hinata in danger, she exploded in desperation..." Hiruzen glanced at Shikaku who was standing next to him.

He was also insisting, with cold sweat on his face, looking like he had seen through it but had to pretend to be deceived.

There's no way. During this special period, we cannot rule out the possibility that walls have ears, and there seem to be many spies lurking in Konoha.

Also, it turns out that this guy who seems to be omnipotent is not very good at lying?

"I understand," Shikaku interrupted and patched, "So Miss Hanabi's body-flickering technique that day was at the cost of exhausting her Yang escape technique, and that thrust was the Yin escape technique that had not yet been transformed into Wind escape technique."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are worthy of being Uncle Lu Jiu, so smart." Luo Yi gave a thumbs up.

Hinata father and daughter: "..."

Hiashi was able to hold it in, but Hanabi couldn't figure it out and looked back and forth at them, not knowing what they were talking about.

Could this be what Luo Yi meant by "talking nonsense in a serious manner"?

No wonder my father said before I left, "Whatever you hear from the Hokage, you must take it seriously."

The adult world is so hard to understand.

This is also one of the main reasons why Hiashi does not like to participate in politics. He always has to watch others talking nonsense, cooperate with others in talking nonsense, and follow others in talking nonsense. It is a torture for the Hyuga people who have the Byakugan.

"Yes, that makes sense." Hiruzen wanted only a "reasonable" explanation, not a "real" one. "Let's put this matter behind us. We will reveal the whole story as soon as possible."

Then he changed the subject, "I believe you know the schedule for the Chunin Exams. What are your plans for the next round?"

"Well, I plan to take this child to the Kingdom of Waves." Luo Yi smiled and looked back at the little girl.

"Huh?" Hua Huo was startled.

"The Land of Waves?" Hiruzen, smoking a pipe, questioned his assistant with his eyes.

Shikaku understood and flipped the record book. "Yesterday evening, employees of the shipping company delivered a batch of goods and a small amount of cash. We accepted the seafood specialties. You can go to the cafeteria to try them at noon. We didn't ask for money. In addition, Bai and Zabuza didn't go with them. They should be waiting for you to come over."

According to the original agreement, Luo Yi would go there once a month, and they would come here once a quarter. Bai came here in June to make a report for the second quarter, and now it is the beginning of July, and it is time to go again.

This time, Luo Yi planned to stay in the Kingdom of Waves for a few more days. On the one hand, it was to help the little girl practice and master that power; on the other hand, he wanted to find any traces left by the Yin and Yang clones.

He had thought about using this "forbidden technique" when he confronted Kabuto and Maki last night.

If you really want to fight against two jonin, shadow clones and lightning clones are not enough. You must have Yin-Yang clones with high intelligence and strong combat power.

Considering that future battles will escalate, his strength will soon be insufficient, and improving his combat effectiveness is urgent.

Lifting the ban on the "Yin Yang Clone Technique" is one of them.

"Luo Yi, I must remind you." Hiruzen did not deny his plan, "Even if your "explanation" seems reasonable, there are many people who covet Hanabi and the Hyuga clan's bloodline. You must be mentally prepared when you take this child out of the village."

"I know." Luo Yi nodded cautiously.

Everyone knows that Konoha Village has Genin who have secret techniques and bloodline limits, and their teachers are the strongest among the Jonin. Because the teacher's job is not only to guide the growth of Genin, but also to protect them when necessary.

Rizu was very confident in Luo Yi, especially when he saw him show "20% of his strength".

Hiruzen was also very relieved. The fact that the Kusanagi sword was always on him was proof of that. It was the favorite sword of his most proud student.

"Hehe... I'm old..." Before leaving, he put down his pipe and sighed, "Your practice of refining chakra is so romantic."

"Hmm? Isn't it just... is it... hm?" Luo Yi, who had always thought that there was nothing wrong, realized that something was not normal after being reminded.

Wait, refining chakra and then circulating it... isn't this double... cultivation?!

...

Taking into account the special circumstances of Luo Yi and Hanabi, Hiruzen still arranged a group of Anbu to accompany them, of course, only to provide secret protection.

Luo Yi didn't expect that one of the people in the Anbu was actually Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"I volunteered to go with you as a token of my gratitude." Xi Yan took off her mask, "Thank you for saving Ji Feng last night. I will risk my life to protect you in the next few days."

"You're just joking, Sister Xiyan. I was just looking for Teacher Jifeng last night." Luo Yi said it so well that he almost believed it himself.

Are you kidding? I saved Ji Feng so that he wouldn't become a widow; and you risked your life to save me, making Ji Feng a widower, right?

What is the conservation of the number of dead?

Xiyan would not believe that he could find Jifeng near the border. The only explanation was that he sensed danger and went to rescue him.

But since Luo Yi was unwilling to admit it, she certainly wouldn't force him.

"Luo Yi..." Hanabi grabbed the corner of his clothes and looked at the beautiful Anbu sister in front of her with fear.

"What are you worried about!" Luo Yi took the little girl's hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Let's go to the Kingdom of Waves."
