Hidden Otsutsuki.

"No...Understood." Kakashi stared blankly at the surging black matter at his feet, apart from being puzzled, there was also a hint of panic.

Yuling...how did she know about this?

Even he, the famous copy ninja, couldn't recognize this strange substance, but Yuling...

"I also do not understand."

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a while, looking at the murderous but serious Yuling, they just panted lightly and didn't move at all.

"However, I'm sure it's this thing that affected Captain Yamato." The yin attribute chakra on the body surface trembled, and the surrounding silence raised another level. Lu Jiu lowered his head first, and studied the distorted substance in the blood on the ground.

"Hai Yi, do you feel that this thing looks familiar?" Lu Jiu raised his mouth inadvertently, but turned his head to the side indifferently, avoiding everyone's sight.

"Huh?" Haiyi closed his eyes instinctively, and turned to analyze this substance with his perception.

Eyes, at such times, can only mislead.

Everyone present has never seen such a strange thing. After all, there should be monsters in Orochimaru's stronghold, and it is not strange to appear in the imprisoned Yamato.

"This thing is not from Orochimaru." Xianglin, who had been hiding behind Suigetsu, muttered in a low voice, but her neck was caught at that moment, and a pair of thin hands locked her mercilessly under the thick chakra wrap.

"Why are you so sure?" The person who came was naturally Yu Ling.

Xianglin's expression of pain only lasted for a second, and after confirming who was coming, Bian collapsed directly, and even put on a nympho smile.

"You don't know my ability, right? The range that Kagura's mind can perceive can accommodate dozens of strongholds of Orochimaru. What kind of things inside have I never sensed? But, I am not familiar with the breath from this thing at all, and I can't find it in my memory!" Xianglin raised her head, twisting and turning in Yuling's hand, rubbing and rubbing, wanting to turn around.

"Do you still have memories?" Shuiyue couldn't help but speak up when she saw Xianglin's proud look, not afraid of being heard by Yuling.

"You... big idiot, I'm not you."

"Shut up and continue." Yuling slowly turned his head and gave Shuiyue a look, then raised his chin to Xianglin.

"It doesn't have the special taste of Orochimaru. Ah... that domineering, sinister atmosphere, I can't forget it, right?" Speaking of this, Xianglin also gave Shuiyue a look, and then struggled to look for Yuling.

"understood."

It's useless to know this... It's just that the questioner has no intention, but the listener has the heart.

"Sure enough... that person used to be here too." Lu Jiu nodded to the two old teammates around him, then stepped forward to whisper something into Kakashi's ear, knelt down and grabbed a handful of black matter stained with blood, and returned to the original place behind his back.

"Scorpion...?" The senior's message echoed in his head, Kakashi just stood there with his hands in his pockets, without saying a word or moving.

Yamato was still lying in a pool of blood, but the slowly gushing blood no longer contained those black substances.

"Sharingan Open!" Yuling scanned Yamato's body from a distance, and after seeing that there were no impurities in the blood, he slammed his head into the broken pillar beside him.

The column cracked and the person fell.

Another pool of blood.

"Eh? What is Yuling doing?"

"Don't worry... this is his way to control the rampage. After all... if he can't control it, we can't stop him." Jun Ma Lu was also frightened by such a violent behavior, and he gave Chongwu his own explanation after he ordered Chong Wu to take care of him.

"Yu Ling... even if you are thinking about us, can you stop..."

Kakashi hadn't recovered from Yamato's situation, the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally, and he glanced at the three ninjas on the ground who were paralyzed by the feather... silently took out his hand in his pocket, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Everyone... pack up and get ready to go back. The mission is over." Naturally, the only remaining captain was Kakashi, who volunteered to carry Yamato, and the remaining two were handed over to other teams.

"Hey, Kakashi, is there someone missing?"

"That's right! Kakashi, why did you abandon Anbu's companion like this?"

"Yoshi! Kakashi, a ninja who doesn't pay attention to his companions is... ah!" Kai just turned around in his head, but a straight punch flew in front of him, hitting his nose mercilessly.

The last scene was fixed on that gloomy face...

"Come here, take Kai back."

"Yes……"

……

"I heard that Yu Ling's mission is over?"

"Yes, Danzo-sama. I just received a letter from Hokage-sama. Everyone will return to Konoha Hidden Village within three days."

"Are our people still there?"

"This……"

"Ok?"

"The Hokage side didn't mention our 'root' people."

"Not mentioned? What does that mean?"

"According to reliable sources, the report sent back by Kakashi did not mention the members of the 'root' department, and the four seem to have disappeared..."

"What? Go to get the root now! I don't care how many people you want to use, anyway, find the root right away!"

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

"Hokage... Is this how people who despise our 'roots'!"

In the center of the "root" stronghold, at the cross bridge, the old man leaned on the ground with his cane vigorously, and his deep voice echoed underground.

……

Outside, underground, a no-man's land.

"Hey, what's the situation with Yamato now?" Orochimaru freed up a small space and manipulated a few small snakes to look around, while a pair of snake eyes stared at the glass beads hidden deep in the two layers of puppets.

"I can't control it anymore." The scorpion leaked a pool of black matter from its hand, and slowly attached to Chakra, but it couldn't sense any signs of life. "It seems... either it was dismissed, or it was killed by Konoha's gang."

"Hehe... From my point of view, Yamato is more likely to be killed." Orochimaru made a joke indifferently, sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and condensed the chakra.

"Are you so confident in your Konoha companions?" Scorpion raised his eyebrows slightly, and a feminine voice trembled from the depths of his torso.

"Hehe... On the contrary, I just don't believe that they have the ability to discover your ninjutsu... So, it's more convenient to kill them. Don't say anything else, I think they still have the strength of ninjas after killing them." Eyelids were not happy, and the corner of the mouth slanted, and he denied his own... "Also, it's the former Konoha companion."

"Haha... Got it. But, in this way, our plan..."

"continue."

……

"That guy Yu Yefei... how long has it been, don't you take the majesty of our elders seriously!?" An old man in a white robe embellished with five hooks was pacing on the spot, with his hands behind his back, clutching a few unsent scrolls in his palms.

"Elder calm down, after all, Master Yu Yefei is currently on a mission..."

"This is not an excuse! The elder's words are orders, and even he can't go against it!" The old man still made noise regardless, and with a flick of his hand, he slapped the scroll in his hand on the one-hooked warrior in front of him.

"It's the elder. I'll hurry up." The soldier didn't dare to say anything, and retreated respectfully, holding the scroll he had just picked up in his hand.

"Do you know what to do?" As soon as he got out of the tent, his face immediately changed, and he gave orders to a ninja who looked like a child with a stern voice, threw the scroll out, and then walked away without looking back.

"My lord... I have something..." The child was holding a scroll in his hand, and just about to hand it in obsequiously, he was greeted by an indifferent back.

"This scroll...is from Lord Yubafei..." As himself, he couldn't enter the elder's tent, and those who could enter ignored him, so the child had no choice but to throw the scroll on the ground in front of the door, and ran away quietly.

……

On the other side, the neighboring country of the Fire Kingdom, the Wind Kingdom.

"How about it, Maggie, have you found the fourth Kazekage-sama?"

"Yura, don't worry. That's the Fourth Kazekage-sama. He's just going out to perform the mission, and nothing will happen. Isn't it still within the time limit of the mission?" Maki patted the shoulder of the thin man next to him with confidence, put his other hand behind his back, straightened his back and walked towards the sky, and was looking forward to the return of Kazekage-sama in his heart.

These two people, one is the captain of the security force of Hidden Sand Village, and the other is the instructor of Four Kazekage's three children. They are not insignificant to this village. Maybe this is why they care about Four Kazekage so much.

"Okay, then... well, let's not talk, let's go back to work." Yu Liang stroked his beard, then waved his hand, and walked into an underground building in Shayin with his back to Maji.

"Master Kazekage will be fine hahaha."

……

"Lu Jiu... Lu Jiu! Lu Jiu, come back quickly..." Konoha, Hokage Room...

A golden head emerged from a large pile of documents, the wrinkles on the forehead were clearly visible, and a pair of panda eyes were also lifelike.

This is obviously the fourth generation of Hokage who lost the secretary of Hokage, Namikaze Minato...

"Sigh, I really don't know why I'm going to die to get Zhuludie out...Tired, tired! Without Lujiu, I really can't work hard..." Minato thumped the table in frustration, sheets of paper were blown up, and he didn't have time to get out of his closed seat to pick them up...

"Is there anyone here to help me... Shikaku, Shikaku..." Minato raised a hand feebly, dangling in the air aimlessly.

"Master Hokage!" There was a quick knock on the door, and Minato sat upright in fright, gently brushing the imperial robe on her body.

"Please come in."

"Report! Mrs. Hokage and others have returned in triumph today. They have entered the territory of the Land of Fire and are protected by a team of frontier guards in the dark."

"Ah... I know, I know... After the border guards come back, give them a vacation. A week." Minato yawned and raised a finger, flicking his eyes as if he couldn't open his eyes.

"Yes." The messenger turned and walked out, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he reached the door.

"I heard that Hokage-sama has been in a bad mood lately...it doesn't look that bad!"
