Naruto Scourge

Chapter 360 5 Bamboo Forest

As the sun sets and the moon rises, time goes by little by little.

The journey was tedious and boring. The little time spent accumulated into countless steps, making Ye Zi and Orochimaru travel every inch of uninhabited land in the Land of Thunder.

Avoiding cloud ninja, avoiding human habitation, looking for every trace, but finally found nothing.

Presumably even if the former ruins remained, the reason why they were not found was either turned into sand, or it was under the control of Yunren Village. In the entire Thunder Kingdom, except for the inhabited places, only Yunlei Gorge has not been visited.

That place is guarded by many cloud ninjas. If the ruins are still there, there is a high possibility that they will be there.

But Orochimaru didn't want to take risks for a possibility, since he got nothing in the Land of Thunder, he didn't miss it at all, and took Ye Zi directly to leave the Land of Thunder.

Searching is extremely time-consuming, but fortunately Ye Zi's mentality is not as urgent as before, otherwise he might not be able to accept it.

As night falls, the sky is covered by thunderclouds, and the world is pitch black. Occasionally, thunder flashes will bring a breath of light to the world.

Ye Zi and Orochimaru are located on the border of the Kingdom of Thunder, and they found a cave as a temporary resting place. They set off early tomorrow morning, and they will be able to leave the Kingdom of Thunder in less than half a day for their next destination.

At night, the mountain wind became bitter, swaying in the mountains, making a piercing sound like a ghost crying.

A bonfire was built in the cave, and small sparks would explode from time to time, and the light of the fire flickered slightly, reflecting the figures of Ye Zi and Dashewan on the cave wall.

"Where's the next destination?" Ye Zi's dark eyes were stained by the flames.

"The Kingdom of the Moon." Orochimaru held a branch and flicked the bonfire lightly.

Ye Zi said: "The Kingdom of the Moon, if I remember correctly, it is the buffer zone of the Kingdom of Thunder."

The buffer zone is a collective term for small countries sandwiched by major powers. This collective term is based on the pain of war.

The Kingdom of the Moon is located adjacent to the Kingdom of Thunder, and it is also the only way to go to the Kingdom of Thunder. It has always been a buffer zone against enemy attacks, that is, a battlefield.

It is a very small country, and as a buffer zone for a big country, it is inevitable to suffer from wars.

Therefore, although the Kingdom of the Moon has a small land area, it has good geographical conditions. Even so, the population is still in the minority.

"There is a place called Wuzhulin in the Kingdom of the Moon, and that is the place we are going to." Orochimaru said calmly.

Ye Zi looked at the bonfire quietly, and said calmly, "Five Bamboo Forest, I've heard that that place is a bamboo forest with only five-leaf bamboos."

Five-leaf bamboo, as the name suggests, is a bamboo with five leaves.

Orochimaru nodded slowly, and said: "There are quite a few cats in Wuzhu Forest, they are good at sneak attacks, and they are extremely ferocious. If they can master the use of chakra, they will be good psychic beasts."

If the number of a group is large enough, under this base number, there will inevitably be beasts that can master chakra.

In the ninja world, there are not many ninjas who can use spiritism. It's not that they can't, but they can't find suitable spirit beasts.

The standard for becoming a psychic beast is to master the use of Chakra, and the fierce beasts that can master the use of Chakra are not easy, and it is not easy to successfully establish a contract with them.

Both Ye Zi and Orochimaru had signed a contract with Ryudi Cave, so they naturally looked down on these mid-to-low-end psychic beasts, who might be weaker than the snow bears from the Iron Kingdom.

Although he didn't like it, Ye Zi listened to it and remembered it in his heart.

A person can not only sign a contract with one kind of psychic beast, if Ye Zi wants to, he can also sign another kind of psychic beast contract.

But he doesn't like these psychic beasts, but maybe he can find some psychic beasts with good combat power for the teenagers in the stronghold.

Like the Ryujidong clan, don’t think about the teenagers in the stronghold. Chakra is far from enough. Even if it is Shin and Yanye, if they channel Ten Thousand Snakes, they will basically consume one-third of their Chakra.

"Will there be ruins in the Five Bamboo Forest?" Ye Zi asked.

Orochimaru smiled lightly and said, "I'm not sure, I'll know when I go."

The bonfire gradually weakened, and finally went out, and the cave was plunged into darkness.

Orochimaru and Ye Zi closed their eyes and rested their minds, both of them were in a shallow sleep, and would wake up immediately if there was any disturbance.

The next morning.

Orochimaru and Ye Zi opened their eyes almost at the same time.

The morning light came in from the hole and fell on the dark woodpile.

Ye Zi took out the dry food, gave half of it to Dashewan, and ate the rest in a few mouthfuls.

After resting his stomach a little, he left the cave and went to the Kingdom of the Moon.

To get there, it takes about a half-day trip.

The two were silent all the way and hurried on their way.

Passed through the border of the Kingdom of Thunder, entered the Kingdom of the Moon, and then went straight to Wuzhu Forest without stopping.

At sunset, Ye Zi could see the outline of the bamboo forest in the distance through the orange-red twilight.

"That's where it is." Ye Zi walked quickly on the plain, and the sound of the wind rushing backwards could not cover up his voice.

"That's right." Orochimaru replied.

When the last twilight disappeared on the horizon, the two came to the entrance of Wuzhu Forest.

Under the moonlight, the bamboo forest was deep and silent.

Standing only on the periphery of the bamboo forest, you can see that the gaps between the bamboos are very short, and it will be a bit difficult for people to squeeze through the gaps. It is hard to imagine that there will be ruins in such a place.

The lower part of the bamboo forest is crowded, but the upper part is more spacious.

"Go in." Orochimaru leaped to the top of the bamboo, stepping on the bamboo as if walking slowly towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Seeing this, Ye Zi followed Da Shewan.

There was no sound in the bamboo forest, not even the sound of insects chirping.

The moon hangs in the sky, and the pouring moonlight dyes the tall and straight bamboos with a layer of silver.

After going deep into the bamboo forest, the gaps between the bamboos become longer and longer, making them less crowded.

Orochimaru and Ye Zi just jumped to the ground and chose to walk to avoid missing the ruins.

Just after landing, a blue cheetah the size of a calf suddenly and silently pounced on Ye Zi's back with its sharp claws.

Ye Zi rolled his eyes to the right, turned around and kicked the cheetah's head through the cheetah's paw.

With a muffled bang, the cheetah's strong body flew upside down, and its head exploded into blood mist in the air.

"The strength is not very good." Glancing at the cheetah corpse whose head had been kicked off, Ye Zi withdrew his gaze and followed Orochimaru's footsteps.

Orochimaru said lightly: "The smell of blood will attract more beasts."

Ye Zi looked at him and said, "There is no threat."

Orochimaru hooked the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.

The two walked side by side, just as Orochimaru said, a group of cheetahs quietly launched a sneak attack on the two, but they were easily resolved by the two.

As the bamboo forest deepened, the size of the cheetahs became bigger and bigger, perhaps because they hadn't eaten humans for a long time. Seeing Orochimaru and Ye Zi, the cheetahs lined up one after another to die.

After shaking off a dozen or so cheetah carcasses, a decent guy finally came.

The whole body is as black as ink, with a pair of blue eyes, ten times the size of a normal cheetah, and the obvious chakra light on the paws.

In the blue eyeballs, there are human emotions, warning and killing intent.

Looking at this black cheetah, even if it will speak in a second, Ye Zi is not surprised.

It was rare to meet a ferocious beast that could use Chakra, Ye Zi chose to hold back, and with just one blow, the black cheetah lost its fighting power.

Afterwards, the two crossed the black cheetah, and after walking for a certain distance, they came to a wide place, which was an open space surrounded by bamboos.

There are scattered stone pillars and building debris lying quietly in the open space.

"This is it." Ye Zi's eyes flickered slightly.
