Chapter 12 The Long Road to Practice
Naruto returned home, but he didn't expect that Ei hadn't come back yet. He waited boredly for a long time, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he rushed to the door excitedly. Ei was startled by him, and everything he was holding shook, "Naruto? "
"Ei, you are finally back, do you know? I defeated Xiao Li today!" Naruto jumped up with excitement and looked at Ei with a face full of praise. .biquge
"Well, Naruto is great!" Ei was stunned for a moment and looked at Naruto with a chuckle, just like a mother looking at her child. Naruto rolled his eyes angrily and focused on what Ei brought back. superior.
"Don't we have a lot of money? Why did you buy so much?" Naruto looked at E in surprise.
E raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Let's go in first." At the same time, she pulled Naruto into the room and put all kinds of snacks on the table. She looked at Naruto's greedy snacks and smiled secretly.
Seeing that everything was ready, Naruto pounced on it and ate a fierce meal. "Naruto, I have something to talk to you about. Don't say that I don't care about you anymore!" E sighed helplessly.
As soon as Naruto heard this, he frowned, his face full of displeasure, and he stared at E as if he wanted to see through her.
Instead, Hui felt like a child who had done something wrong, and shrugged indifferently.
Hui put down her chopsticks and said solemnly, "I have to leave the village tomorrow. I don't know how long I will be there. Don't be angry yet. My teacher came to me and wanted to take me to practice. There are more opportunities for practice outside." ,I…"
"Then go ahead!" Naruto suddenly interrupted Ei, his tone was very firm, and there was no resentment in the past. On the contrary, Ei was stunned by what he said, and looked at Naruto who was so considerate and mature at a loss. She was caught off guard.
"I know that our cultivation methods are different. Mine is not suitable for you, and yours is not suitable for me, so I don't intend to stop you from becoming stronger."
"But I am really grateful for your company these past few months. Although I miss you very much, I know you have what you want to do. I am stupid, but you have never disliked anything, and ah, and ah!"
Naruto paused, scratched his head, and seemed a little shy. He looked at E again, showing that warm smile, and even E was infected by his silly look.
"Hui has always been so caring about me. She doesn't look at me like other people do. By being my friend, I'm no longer so lonely and helpless. I'm really, really happy!!"
After hearing what Naruto said, Ei felt very sad and heartwarming, feeling sad and happy at the same time. She felt sorry for Naruto and was also moved by it. So, Naruto, why are you always so sunny?
I also feel very lucky to have met you. You know, the people of Konoha, and Gaara who I have never met, I am very grateful to meet you here...
……
E waited at the gate for a while but didn't see Orochimaru coming, but when she turned around, she saw Orochimaru looking at him with a half-smile.
"Are you all ready?" Orochimaru said in his unique hoarse voice.
E was not surprised at all. To leave the village, a jounin teacher must take him with him.
"Yes." Hui replied calmly.
"Heh, let's go then." Orochimaru smiled faintly, his eyes turned cold, and he followed.
E embarked on the path of abnormal spiritual practice with Orochimaru.
After following Orochimaru for so long, I thought I would return to his base, but I didn't expect to come to the village of Oto Ninja. It was just that E could vaguely guess it, so I didn't completely trust her yet?
Hui's training method can only be described as simple and crude. There are really no extra steps, just fighting. Hui Youling, who has learned nothing, only has the strength to be beaten.
Orochimaru gave her time to practice the Three Body Technique. She practiced these abilities every day and taught her the technique of throwing kunai, but he did not teach her other ninjutsu. She had to rely on herself for everything else.
Every day is like taking exams and fighting every day.
E discovered that Orochimaru was increasing the intensity of his attacks day by day, as long as she didn't make any progress, not just the level of skin trauma.
Even if he was knocked to the ground, the next blow would fall as expected. There were more and more injuries on Ei's body, injuries from impact and injuries from friction.
Like a discarded doll, she was thrown away by the ninjutsu, hit hard on the ground, kicked out, and slid out along the ground. She desperately tried to resist, but the mantis' arms could only block it.
But she was really in pain. Her previous life was like living in a greenhouse. She saw that she had lost a lot of blood. Pain spread through her limbs and bones, and her whole body was filled with the smell of her own blood.
She was scared and even thought about running away, but the next second a giant snake three people tall would appear in front of her, spitting out letters and staring at her eagerly.
Zhan laughed endlessly in his heart, "Run, you can practice in the village, you can still become stronger, it's too scary here, you will die."
Be afraid, be afraid. As long as you are surrounded by these emotions, you can be out. Hui Youling, leave your body to me. Cowards can just run away.
Hui looked at the big snake in front of him with dull eyes, his face became wet, and silent tears seemed to fall down. Everything in the past came to his mind, and finally turned into endless guilt.
She kept questioning herself in her heart, trying to understand why she was alive and what the meaning of living was.
This is something you owe others, and it’s something you brought upon yourself. Don’t you want to atone for it? Have you forgotten that time you fell into the water? Have you forgotten that kind of weakness and loneliness?
If she were not so weak, she could teach those who bullied Naruto, she could go to Sunagakure, she could change many things, and it would be meaningful for her to live.
When she returned, Orochimaru didn't care at all. E looked at the person standing there with firm eyes. Becoming Orochimaru's student would be the only way to grow quickly, and it would not be easy for her to get this opportunity.
When she returns to the village, she will only be an ordinary ninja. She can't even take the Chunin Exam. She has no strength and needs Naruto to save her. Even Gaara won't care about her.
She is just a grain of sand in the sea of people, admiring everyone who is constantly getting stronger. No one will care if she stands in the crowd. She is suffering and regretful. Nothing can be changed. She can only watch and become a passerby.
This is not the meaning of her life, this is not the value of her existence.
E bowed deeply towards Orochimaru, apologized solemnly and said, "I'm sorry, I won't run away again."
Orochimaru narrowed his snake eyes and looked at him, smiling silently, but he had more and more calculations in his heart.
Uzumaki Youling is really full of expectations.
But Orochimaru showed no mercy in the end, leaving only E's life.
Ei couldn't remember many of them. He was beaten to the point where he had no consciousness and even forgot where he was. This also made Ei feel fear in his heart, as if he was a clown being watched.
Orochimaru just thought she was interesting and stayed here. Maybe one day he lost interest and he would be crushed to death soon.
This fear also prompted Ei to practice more diligently, and Ei became more careless. She wanted to become stronger, even if she was seriously injured.
E thought this could change anything, but she was still beaten by Orochimaru until her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She didn't make any progress, and was beaten out before she even got in front of her.
No one here will sympathize with her, and no one will help her.
Even though I feel that my kunai is more precise, more unexpected, and my movements are smoother, everything is still like a child, like a baby in Orochimaru's eyes!
But she is really unwilling to accept it. Why is she like this? What can she do now? There is still someone she wants to meet and some people she wants to protect.
She looked at Orochimaru with unwillingness in her eyes, the man standing there aloof. Now she was still as usual, she could only lie on the ground helplessly and look up at him.
Hui struggled to get up, and the blood on her forehead slowly slid down, crossing her dirty face, becoming thicker and blacker.
"Ah!!" Hui held the shuriken and rushed forward again, but quickly formed seals on her hands.
As long as I can achieve something, that would be great, as long as it can prove that my efforts are effective...
