Tracing the source begins with One Piece

Kakashi and the others followed their Hokage's orders and retreated to begin implementation.

No matter how puzzled and doubtful they were about the sudden battle last night, they all knew that right here and now was not the time to find out the cause.

Now, the most important thing is to settle and comfort all the Konoha villagers in the village, and to communicate the current situation with the top management of the Fire Country.

And these tasks are exactly what the Hokage has arranged, and they need to be done by Konoha senior officials themselves. Not many ninjas are idle.

Moria looked at the busy Kakashi people who had jumped down from the giant white tree. He was not idle either, and arranged for them to appease the villagers and make follow-up arrangements.

He looked at the majestic blue and white figure in the distance that seemed to be endlessly looming in the mist, and whispered softly while stroking the little head of the kitten in his arms.

"Xiao Hinata, let's go meet the owner of this place. Speaking of which, you haven't met the immortals from the Three Holy Lands yet."

"Lord Moria, this is Shigu Forest. Is this the White Fly Immortal?"

Little Hinata also looked at the huge mountain-like figure with her white eyes. In fact, when she came here, she had already used her white eyes to explore this place.

She discovered that all the species in the secret realm here were very large compared to the real world, as if they were all enlarged in the same proportion.

Not to mention anything else, the giant trees here alone are almost all over ten meters, and there are also quite a few giant trees that are hundreds of meters tall, but they look bare.

Moreover, the fog here alternates between thick and thin, as if it moves rhythmically with the breath of a huge creature.

It's cool, humid, without warm sunshine, and completely white. It seems that cloudy days are the norm here.

The earth, these climate and astronomical phenomena are what creatures like slugs like, right?

Moria said as he sensed the Flying Thunder God mark he left on Immortal Bai Li long ago.

"It's the Immortal Baiji, and it's also where the Immortal Mode I taught you lies."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was already holding little Hinata in his arms and stepped on the head of the huge blue and white creature out of thin air.

"Long time no see, Immortal Baili"

"It's you, the Fifth Hokage, long time no see. Tsunade told me before that Konoha was invaded. Can you escape?"

"Hahaha~~~ I guess, I really bothered you, I'm sorry, Baiji."

"Although I don't hear any sincerity from you, I'd better forget it. There's no need to apologize. Just be fine."

"Hey, talking about Baili, although there are other creatures in Shigulin, most of them are your offspring. Isn't it boring? Do you want to..."

"Fudai, you already said it last time..."

……

Little Hinata listened to the homely chat between one person and one slug, while looking at the slug's true form.

But everywhere you look, there are blue and white figures, with neither head nor tail visible, as if there is no end.

There was only a clear and clear voice, echoing in the world. The tone was clear and inexplicably beautiful, as if a kind and gentle elder sister was speaking kind words.

"Bai Li, I left this time, but I really won't come back."

"Didn't you say the same thing last time?"

"Hahaha~~~ It's different. It was the last time, right. Let's stay for a while. I need to draw something."

"It's up to you. Do you need help?"

"Well, I will come to you if necessary. I won't be polite to you."

Moriah put down the little Hinata in his arms, sat on the slug, and motioned for the little Hinata to sit down.

Speaking of which, among the three great saints in the three holy places, the one with whom he has the best relationship and the best rapport is the Immortal Baiji. He has a gentle temperament and is also the kindest one to all living beings. .

Therefore, when it comes to the "great cause" of abducting the three great immortals, Immortal Bai Li is his first choice, but he is also the one he is least willing to force.

The "grandma" of the White Snake Immortal is more of a "trophy".

Who told it to scream for three days and three nights after a chipped tooth? From now on, it will always be midnight after practicing, and it will give him a tooth from time to time. There is no way, just fall in love and kill each other.

As for the Toad Immortal, this "demented" "old man" has difficulty even going out. Signing a psychic contract is just a matter of asking.

Moria sat down and took out a scroll from the shadow space.

After untying it, a complete set of painting tools appeared, including drawing boards, drawing paper, paints, drawing brushes, swords, watercolor media...

When Moriah picked up the painting pen, the only sound left was the rustling of pen and paper, and it seemed quiet and peaceful for a while.

Only in the distance, in the foggy gathering place of Konoha, was the light of lights and the faint sound of human voices coming from the conversation.

Little Hinata knelt down quietly beside Moriah, watching attentively. It seemed that in her eyes, only her own Lord Moriah was the only one, and only the lifelike paintings appeared under the splash of ink.

On the square drawing paper, among the flowing clouds and flowing water under Moriah's pen, many "figures" familiar to Hinata quietly appeared on the paper.

Hinata, who had been watching, didn't know what her master wanted to do, but she suppressed her doubts and did not make a sound to disturb Moriah who was already immersed in painting.

The towering and vast Hokage Building.

The five main roads running through Konoha.

The new Konoha First Central Hospital.

The neat and bright Konoha Ninja School.

The Baike Library building with different architectural styles.

The warm and harmonious Konoha Welfare Club.

Forest of Death, Valley of the End, Satomi Villa, Ichiraku Ramen Shop,...

A few sudden footsteps suddenly came from behind the two of them, interrupting Hinata who was concentrating on the painting that appeared from Moriah's brush. She could not help but frown and turned away, and then she was relieved.

"Godai, Hinata, what are you doing here?"

This was Tsunade's voice.

"Hokage-sama, Princess-sama"

This is Kurama Yakumo's voice.

Tsunade asked as she walked forward. When she lowered her head and saw the painting that Moriah was drawing, she was surprised.

"This is...Konoha?"

Moria did not stop painting, and continued to paint in his hands while responding.

"Exactly. Why are you here? Sit down."

Tsunade pulled Yakumo to sit down on the other side of Moria and said with a shrug.

"Although we want to appease the emotions of the villagers, don't underestimate the quality of the villagers in Konoha. Most of them are people who have gone through the years of the Ninja World War. The Third Ninja World War is not that far away, Fifth Generation."

Moria chuckled softly, "reflecting" on his mistakes and correcting them.

"I was wrong. People who have experienced war must know what war is."
