Konoha starts from the root

After a long time, Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of helplessness.

Yes, it is helpless.

Although he had completely solved the anomalies in his soul and eliminated potential hidden dangers through the technique of spiritual transformation, similarly, because his soul was no longer entangled with Aoki, there was now some distance between him and this body.

You know, the soul is conceived in the body, and there is a close connection between the two.

But his soul was not born from this body, so the rejection is reasonable.

In the past, it was most likely because of Aoki's presence that he didn't behave abnormally.

Now it's happened.

If Bai Ye hadn't been getting along with this body for ten years, his spirit body might not even be able to return to this body.

However, even if he was given another chance, he would still erase Aoki's soul without hesitation.

······

Bai Ye stood up and moved his body. He could clearly feel that there seemed to be an invisible film between his soul and body.

It is the existence of this thin film that makes the connection between the two not as close as before.

And this will lead to subtle changes in his reactions, perception, chakra invocation, etc., which will take him some time to adapt and overcome.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution.

Because as time goes by, without Aoki's soul as a bridge, the connection between Bai Ye's soul and this body will not become closer and closer as it has been in the past ten years, but will gradually become stronger as time goes by. become loose and may end up being completely mutually exclusive.

Therefore, he must find a way to solve this problem.

Bai Ye frowned and walked around the room unconsciously while thinking.

His footsteps were a little more imperceptibly heavy than before.

Nearly two hours passed before Bai Ye's brows relaxed.

At this moment, he already had preliminary ideas in his mind.

Just now, he thought carefully about the problem he was facing.

If we want to completely solve the rejection reaction between the soul and the body, we can only proceed from two directions.

The first is to find ways to change certain characteristics of the soul so that it adapts to the body, and the second is to change the body to adapt to the soul.

Compared to the former, Baiye prefers the latter.

There is no other reason, just because in the ninja world, the only thing that belongs to him is his naked soul.

Therefore, he does not want to tamper with his soul.

And if we start from the body, there are two options.

The first is to transform the current body, and the second is to cultivate a new body.

After careful consideration, Bai Ye decided to do it simultaneously.

Anyway, now this body is suffering from a genetic disease, and it’s not clear whether it can be cured, so let’s go ahead and conduct experiments.

As for cultivating a new body, this requires gathering some more relevant knowledge before starting the experiment.

If it really comes to this point, Bai Ye will definitely not cultivate a body casually, he will definitely cultivate a body with enough potential.

Based on his understanding of the history of the ninja world, he can collect the genes of some people for cultivation and screening. If the experiment is successful, the benefits to him will be self-evident.

Thinking of relevant knowledge, there is no doubt that Orochimaru, who is proficient in human experiments, has become his first choice target.

······

"Xiang Phosphorus." Bai Ye suddenly shouted towards the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Xiang Ling walked in in a panic.

Seeing that Bai Ye was fine, he smiled slightly.

However, when she saw the situation in the room, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

In her impression, although Bai Ye was not very tidy, at least he would not throw things everywhere.

Bai Ye looked at Xiang Lu's expression and then noticed the mess in the room.

After coughing slightly in embarrassment, he said: "Xiang Phosphorus, notify No. [-] to come to the laboratory to meet me."

After that, he was about to walk out when he said again: "Help me clean up the room by the way."

After hearing this, Xiang Phosphorus's eyes showed some suspicion.

Seeing her expression, Bai Ye asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Lu stared at Bai Ye's eyes for a while, and then said: "I feel like you have become different. Are you really Bai Ye?"

Bai Ye looked at Xiang Phosphorus in surprise, not expecting her perception to be so sharp.

"Maybe it's not just perception, it's probably more about being too familiar with yourself!"

Thinking of this, Bai Ye comforted her: "Don't think too much, I just learned a new ninjutsu."

After that, he quickly walked out of the room without explaining anything.

Looking at Bai Ye's back, after a long while, Xiang Lu shook his head and tidied up the room quickly.

Later, she will notify No. [-] to see Bai Ye.

······

In the laboratory, Bai Ye is reading a new experimental report.

Suddenly, there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.

Bai Ye heard the sound and said without raising his head: "Come in."

Immediately, a Root ninja pushed open the door and walked in quickly, knelt on one knee and said: "Sir, you are looking for me."

He is No. [-], one of the four "root" ninjas in the temporary base. To make it easy to remember, Bai Ye directly gave them numbers [-] to [-].

Bai Ye didn't respond, just looking at the report in his hand.

Suddenly, the laboratory was quiet, except for the occasional sound of turning paper, there was no sound.

After a full quarter of an hour, Bai Ye put down the report in his hand, looked at No. [-], and said, "The concentration is good."

No. [-] remained silent after hearing this, which was in line with the style of the 'root' ninja.

Unfortunately, he is not just No. [-], and Bai Ye is not talking to him.

Bai Ye chuckled a few times and said, "Take off the mask."

Hearing this, No. [-] immediately took off his mask.

It can be seen that this is an ordinary-looking young man, about 20 years old, with no expression on his face, his eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, and the whole person looks lifeless.

"What? Are you still planning to come out?"

"Believe it or not, if I asked him to commit suicide, he would execute it without hesitation."

After waiting quietly for a few seconds, seeing that there was still no change in No. [-], Bai Ye directly ordered: "No. [-], commit suicide."

Hearing this, No. [-] took out a kunai from the ninja tool bag on his waist and stabbed himself in the heart without blinking.

Just when the kunai was about to pierce the heart, an arm suddenly stretched out from No. [-]'s chest and held his wrist.

Seeing that No. [-] was about to activate the curse seal on his body to commit suicide, Bai Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop it!"

Only then did No. [-] stop.

Then, a head poked out from its shoulders.

Judging from his appearance, he was probably only twelve or thirteen years old and had gray-white hair.

"What? Are you willing to come out?"

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Ukon didn't speak, but just looked at him warily.

To this day, he still doesn't know how he was exposed.

According to Orochimaru-sama, once he uses the parasitic ghost evil technique to enter the body of others, it will be difficult to be discovered as long as a comprehensive inspection is not carried out.

And No. [-] has not been checked recently. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Bai Ye to find him.

Therefore, he is now full of doubts.

In fact, Bai Ye did not notice the abnormality of No. [-] at first, until one day ago, he completed the spiritual transformation technique.

Under the perception of the spiritual state, all nearby souls cannot hide.

Because of this, Ukon lurking in No. [-]'s body was discovered by him.
