The Heaven-defying Hokage System

Ye Lan was stunned, sighed and said, Zi...it's all my fault.

Zi wondered, What's wrong? You didn't do anything wrong.

Yelan shook his head vigorously, No, it's all my fault that I'm too good, otherwise your IQ wouldn't have dropped to this level.

Go to hell!! Zi roared immediately.

Ha ha.

Don't worry. Although I have never walked this road, I can feel that it is not far from the root. Maybe we can cross this bridge.

Ye Lan asked, Are you sure?

Zi nodded, You should be sure that it takes twenty minutes to walk here from the outside. We have been walking for eighteen minutes. I have heard that the reason why we encountered this situation is because, in fact, There’s an illusion set up here.”

Illusion? Then if I solve it, won't I be able to find the right path?

Ye Lan formed the seal as he spoke, but Zi hurriedly stopped him and said, This illusion cannot be solved.

Ye Lan was puzzled, Why?

Because this illusion was arranged by Danzo-sama, and it cannot be solved by others.

Ye Lan raised his eyebrows, This illusion is not of much use to me.

I know you can solve it, but I still suggest you not to try it, because this illusion has two purposes. One is to test whether the visitor has enough strength to pass here. If the strength is enough, the illusion will be solved automatically. .”

Second, it is to protect the members of the Root from being disturbed. If you forcefully break through, you will most likely be attacked by people inside.

Ye Lan nodded, In that case, let's just walk over.

Um.

Then, Yelan and Zi walked onto the bridge side by side.

They walked several hundred steps forward without reaching the end of the bridge, and fog gradually began to form around them.

Ye Lan stopped and said with a smile, Zi, didn't you say you can get there in two minutes? How come you can't even cross the bridge after walking for so long?

Zi frowned and said, It shouldn't be.

Could it be...

What?

Are we not strong enough to automatically cancel the illusion?

Ye Lan smiled and said, I don't think so.

Does it mean that even with our strength, we can't enter the root?

Zi wondered, Then what's going on? I've never experienced this kind of situation during my previous visits.

Ye Lan shrugged, That should be my problem.

Zi frowned, What do you mean? I know your strength, how could you not pass?

Ye Lan turned his head, raised his chin in one direction and said, Look at the bridge pier.

Zi turned around to look, only to find that a kunai had been inserted into the bridge pier at some point.

This is?

Ye Lan said slowly, This is the kunai I inserted here deliberately just before I walked on this bridge. We have been walking for so long and haven't been able to cross it just because we have been going in circles.

Zi sighed, and then said, Lan, it seems that I am not capable enough and have not been recognized by this illusion, otherwise this situation would not have happened.

Ye Lan patted Zi on the shoulder and said, This is impossible. Didn't you already say that you have been here several times?

I come here with Master Danzo every time. Without him this time, I won't be able to survive.

Yelan laughed, took out the kunai from the pier and said, Zi, you are wrong about this.

Let me ask you, do you know why we keep going in circles?
