Konoha starts from the root

However, just as Bai Ye said it didn't matter, reality slapped him.

Just after he returned to the experimental base on Ghost World Island, Tianzhi hurriedly found him and told him that he had no money.

"No money?" Bai Ye asked doubtfully.

Tianzhi nodded seriously and affirmed: "Well, there is indeed no money."

Hearing this, Bai Ye asked directly: "Where is the previous fund?"

Two months ago, Shimura Danzo just obtained a sum of funds. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be used up so quickly. There must be something wrong with it.

Tianzhi heard the unkindness in Bai Ye's tone and quickly explained: "The cell fusion experiment will be completed soon. During this period, the frequency of experiments is very high, so the cost is not small."

When Bai Ye heard this, he looked at the fox beside him.

Since Fox came here, Bai Ye has handed over many things to him, including internal supervision.

Hu saw Bai Ye looking at him. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and confirmed Tianzhi's statement.

If this is the case, it makes sense. After all, the raw materials, instruments, etc. for experiments all require money to purchase.

Thinking like this, Bai Ye asked: "Where are the recent experimental records?"

Tianzhi was obviously prepared. He handed the folder in his hand to Bai Ye and said, "This is the experimental record of the past half month."

Bai Ye took the folder and looked through it.

The room suddenly became quiet, and there was no other sound except the rustle of paper being turned.

Tianzhi looked at Bai Ye slightly nervously, for fear that he would stop his experiment.

However, Bai Ye ignored him and was just reading the experiment records carefully.

Judging from these experimental records, Tianzhi did not lie. The frequency of experiments during the recent period is indeed very high, and as he said, the cell fusion experiment has entered the final stage.

The result of a recent experiment was that the cell confluence reached 90%.

If it reaches 100%, then one person can perfectly switch between two life forms. By then, Bai Ye will have fully mastered cell fusion technology, and this will also lay a solid foundation for gene fusion technology.

After a long time, Bai Ye closed the folder, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's well done. Don't worry about the funding. Just hurry up and complete this technology."

When Tianzhi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Baiye, I will complete the experiment as quickly as possible."

"Ah."

After Bai Ye responded, he said calmly: "You can go down."

Tian Zhiying claimed that it was, and then left.

"Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, you can't do it without money." Bai Ye complained in his heart.

He has never worried about funds all this time, after all, Danzo Shimura stands behind him to support him.

However, now, Danzo Shimura's freedom has been restricted, his "root" department has been disbanded, and his source of funds has been cut off.

"Are you going to do a mission? Or go to the black market to pick up a reward?"

After just thinking about it, Bai Ye gave up the idea.

It's not that he doesn't dare to show up under the reputation of being a traitor, but that both methods are too troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, he came up with a simple and direct method.

So, he told the fox: "Recall No. [-] to No. [-]. There will be a mission in three days."

Fox didn't ask about the mission content, just nodded and left.

"Xiang Phosphorus, you should go out too!"

"Well, then you have a good rest."

Xiang Ling on the side heard the tiredness in Bai Ye's tone, so he responded and left.

After everyone left, Bai Ye sat cross-legged and regained his energy.

······

At the same time, in the Land of Earth, somewhere on the coastal border.

A handsome-looking ninja with blond hair was looking around boredly.

Not far in front of him, another figure was prostrate on the ground, as if checking something?

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be corpses.

Judging from the attire of these people, they were all ninjas in life, and looking at their foreheads, they were clearly ninjas from Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages.

After a while, the figure seemed to have completed the inspection, and finally took out a scroll and sealed some of the corpses in it.

After doing this, he walked towards the figure standing not far away.

Before he could get closer, the man spoke: "Brother Scorpion, you are too slow!"

Yes, these two people are exactly the artistic duo of the 'Akatsuki' organization - Scorpion and Deidara.

At this time, the place where they were was the battlefield between Yanyin Village and Yunyin Village.

Although Konoha Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village have signed an armistice agreement, Kumogakure Village still does not want to give up. The first unit that came to attack has not withdrawn yet, and the two sides are still at war.

However, Yunyin Village seemed to have some concerns, so it did not launch a full-scale attack.

The reason why Scorpion came here was not only to collect intelligence, but also to collect materials.

Hearing Deidara's complaint at this time, he said unhurriedly: "Eternal art requires careful selection of materials."

Deidara retorted directly after hearing this: "Brother Scorpion, you are wrong. Art should be the moment of explosion. How can it be called art when it is made by these corpses?"

Hearing this, Xie's body immediately showed murderous intent, and his tail restlessly stretched out from his back, swaying gently.

Seeing this, Deidara stuffed his right hand into his ninja bag and said, "Brother Scorpion, do we want to discuss the true meaning of art here?"

The scorpion stared at Deidara without saying a word, but the tail behind him grew longer and longer.

Similarly, Deidara's palm also had a mouth, and he was tearing and chewing the detonating clay in the ninja tool bag.

Seeing that the battle between the two was about to break out.

At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the rings they were wearing. This was Payne convening everyone for a meeting.

After the two confronted each other for a while, Deidara was the first to speak: "Brother Scorpion, it seems that our discussion on art will be postponed... Hmm."

With that said, he took out his right hand that was stuffed into his ninja bag.

Seeing this, Scorpion also retracted its tail.

Afterwards, the two left the scene together, as if the friction just now did not exist.

This is the relationship between Scorpion and Deidara. Although the two often clash due to different artistic views, they usually get along pretty well.

And this is also the norm among members of the 'Xiao' organization.

About half an hour later, the two found a hidden place and exchanged their rings. Immediately, their consciousness came to a dark cave.

Before they could see their surroundings clearly, a voice reached their ears.

"Yeah! Two more seniors."

"Senior, hello!"

Deidara looked for the sound and saw an illusory figure wearing a whirlpool mask standing not far away, raising his hand to greet him.
