Chapter 776: The Amazing Journey of Kabuto Yakushi

It was approaching dusk, and the forest was almost completely dark.

Originally, Kabuto Yakushi wanted to ask a lot, but when he saw the mysterious girl with flaming hair and eyes standing in front of him, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't say a word.

But soon, after looking him up and down, the girl in front of him asked him.

"Kabuto Yakushi?"

——Unlike the girl's appearance, the other party's voice seemed vaguely cold.

"Who are you?"

Taking a deep breath in his mouth, leaning against the big tree behind him, Yakushi Kabuto, who came back to his senses, subconsciously clenched the short knife that the dean gave him for protection before leaving.

Even if it was Orochimaru who appeared in front of him at this time, he would not be so distracted, but what happened was that it was an extremely mysterious beautiful girl with flaming hair and burning eyes.

...He couldn't see any signs of a ninja on the mysterious girl in front of him.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are."

After glancing at the short knife in his hand, the girl spoke calmly.

"The roots are not a place suitable for you. From now on, you will be my employee... Don't rush to refute. This is what the pharmacist Nonoyu meant. She doesn't want you to fall into that dark place, so please "

As if sensing his mood and thoughts, she shook her head slightly, but the girl interrupted him.

"It's understandable that you don't know the darkness of the root, but Nonoyu actually walked out of that hell. Don't think that your self-sacrifice helped her. You just became the root to blackmail her. It’s just a useful chess piece from Nonoyu.”

"...Where's the evidence?"

Raising his head, Kabuto Yakushi looked at the girl in front of him.

"Since you are talking about the dean, there should be some..."

"Why, is there anything in you that deserves my special attention? If it weren't for Nonoyu's request, do you think I would come here specifically to kidnap an orphan who knows nothing? I'm not that free yet."

Coldly, the girl interrupted him.

"If you want evidence, you can write a letter to verify it yourself later. I don't have that much free time to play games with you here now. Become my employee and leave Konoha with me, or return to the roots and become a root user. Come and take one of No Naiyu’s chess pieces hostage, you can choose it yourself.”

“…”

Faced with the girl's vaguely impatient words, Yakushi Kabuto remained silent for a while, but in the end, he stood up from the ground and walked to the girl's side.

The other party was indeed right. He had nothing to plot against. If he had any special blood inheritance limit, it would be reasonable for him to suspect that the other party had ulterior motives, but he was just an ordinary civilian. There are thousands of orphans like him in the ninja world. If the other party wants to find employees, why should they choose him?

Since this was the dean's wish, he naturally followed it.

After glancing at him, the girl said nothing and just turned around.

He stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and after turning his head to take one last look in the direction of Konoha Village, Kabuto Yakushi first sheathed the manual dagger again, and then quickly followed behind the girl in front of him.

Although he was born as an orphan, after being brought back to Konoha by the dean during the Third Ninja War, he went through systematic study under the dean and even learned medical ninjutsu.

His current strength is probably based on that between genin and chuunin. Although the girl in front of him is very fast, he can barely keep up.

...Although he still doesn't know what the other party's employees are.

Then this trip lasted for three full days.

During these three days, they were on the road non-stop day and night, with less than three hours of rest each day, and they also chose remote trails or uninhabited areas.

It wasn't until Kabuto Yakushi was almost exhausted and didn't know where he had gone that the girl in front of him finally stopped in front of a waterfall in a quiet forest deep in the mountains. “Boss, where are we going next?”

After barely recovering his strength, he walked up to the girl and Kabuto Yakushi asked respectfully.

After these few days of travel, he had communicated with the other party, but the result of the communication made him extremely depressed.

——My new boss seems to be quite aloof.

However, when faced with his question, the girl had no intention of answering him. Instead, she took out dozens of scrolls from somewhere and threw them all to him.

"It takes half a year to learn and master these ninjutsu."

"Well……"

Kabuto Yakushi couldn't help but look a little dumbfounded when he lowered his head to see the pile of ninjutsu scrolls in his arms.

Learning Ninjutsu is a long and systematic process. Although he is a little confident in his talent, but to learn these Ninjutsu that he has never been exposed to before in half a year...does his boss think too highly of him? Already?

"This place is remote enough and safe enough at the same time. In the next six months, you will concentrate on practicing here. I will come to see you every other month and test your learning results."

Looking directly into his eyes, the girl spoke calmly.

"How about it, any questions?"

"...I'm alone?"

Looking around, Kabuto Yakushi swallowed his saliva.

"Why, can't you do it?"

The girl frowned slightly.

"I can't do it."

Looking up at his boss in front of him, Kabuto Yakushi nodded seriously.

"It's really deadly to be here alone. If possible, I hope to change to another place."

"Please... let's go to other places."

Kabuto Yakushi seemed to hear the girl in front of him muttering something, and then turned around calmly again.

"Since you are not satisfied with this place, then you can only go to that place, but it's not too peaceful there, so be prepared."

"Uh... where?"

Which way did Kabuto Yakushi hurriedly catch up with the girl while hurriedly packing the dozens of ninjutsu scrolls in his hand and carrying them on his back.

"Also, I think we should buy more supplies. Only in this way can we ensure our daily survival needs in the future, so I suggest that we go to the nearby town next..."

"Oh, no money, forget it."

Before he finished speaking, the girl interrupted him calmly.

"Next, let's go to the Hidden Village of Uzushio."
