Konoha starts from the root

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

After these three days of rest, Bai Ye's long-accumulated fatigue was finally wiped away, and his whole body became much calmer.

At this moment, he, Fox, and No. [-] to No. [-], a group of seven people, left Ghost World Island.

Next, they will leave the Kingdom of the Sea, then enter the Kingdom of Fire, and finally pass through the port of the Kingdom of Fire and take a boat to the Kingdom of Waves.

As for what to do?

No need to ask, of course you are going to make money.

Since Shimura Danzo has been restricted by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the 'root' department has been completely disbanded, Shiroye has no source of funds.

However, conducting experiments is very expensive.

When Bai Ye gave up the normal way of making money, he soon thought of someone.

Cardo, a native of the country of Waves, is one of the few richest men in the world.

He is ostensibly the president of Cardo Company and operates maritime transportation.

However, in fact, he is one of the kings of the underground world, and has long used the underworld and ninjas to smuggle drugs and contraband.

In recent years, they have tried to join other companies and control the maritime traffic of the entire Country of Waves.

Once a small island country like the Country of Waves is controlled by the sea transportation lifeline, it means controlling the country's wealth, politics, people, and hope.

Therefore, the people of Wave Country will try to resist.

However, Bai Ye targeted Cardo not to punish evil and promote good, he just wanted to find new sources of funds.

As for what will happen to the Land of Waves?

To be honest, he didn't care.

Baiye is different from the ninjas who were born and raised in the ninja world. Their long-standing concepts, education, etc., are all about earning rewards through tasks.

Even ordinary people like Kado are usually not controlled by ninjas.

However, Bai Ye is different. He is not bound by such thoughts.

Therefore, his method of making money is simple and direct, that is, by controlling Cardo.

So, the only thing left to do now is to find Cardo.

······

A few days later, Baiye and his party arrived at a port in the Country of Fire and boarded a passenger ship bound for the Country of Waves.

What they didn't know was that not long after they left, a strange figure slowly emerged from the ground.

The pitcher plant wrapping the head and the iconic red cloud robe with a black background are clearly the Zetsu in the Akatsuki organization who are responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering.

There are some white Zetsu placed underground in various countries in the ninja world. These white Zetsu basically have no combat effectiveness, and their only function is to monitor the entire ninja world.

As the center of the ninja world, there are more White Zetsu deployed in the Land of Fire.

And there happened to be such a Bai Jue who discovered Bai Ye's whereabouts, so Jue followed him here.

After confirming Shiraye's whereabouts, Zetsu blended into the vegetation of the earth again, used the art of mayfly, and left here by intervening in the network of organic matter such as plant roots and water flow that existed underground.

The Mayfly Jutsu allows one to move to any place at extremely high speeds, and is extremely concealable. During the activation of the ninjutsu, all aura is cut off, making it difficult to detect.

Soon, Zetsu showed up again.

At this time, there were two people standing in front of him. They were Kisame Inogaki and Itachi Uchiha.

Seeing the two people looking over, he didn't waste any time and said directly: "Baiye is heading to the Country of Waves."

After that, he disappeared again.

Seeing this, Mikigaki Kisame turned to look at Itachi Uchiha sitting aside and said, "Mr. Itachi, let's go!"

After hearing this, Uchiha Itachi stood up silently, facing the sunset, and walked forward.

Kisame Kisaki paused for a moment before following him.

······

At the same time, somewhere in Tian Country, a battle was coming to an end.

I saw a ninja with white hair, green eyes, black stripes all over his body, and a bone knife in his hand, fighting fiercely with another ninja with white hair, purple eyes, and sharp teeth.

Although both parties are young, their strength is not weak.

After a few more moves, the white-haired and green-eyed ninja seized the opportunity and stabbed the bone knife into the opponent's body again.

However, the white-haired and purple-eyed ninja once again turned the attacked part into liquid and dodged the attack.

These two people are none other than Kaguya Kimimaro and Onito Suigetsu.

Not long ago, Kito Suigetsu followed Momochi Zabuza and passed by Tian no Kuni.

As a result, he accidentally clashed with Orochimaru's spy in Tian Country.

Although he quickly defeated the opponent, his own special characteristics were reported to Orochimaru by his spy.

Sure enough, this aroused Orochimaru's curiosity.

So, he immediately sent out five sound ninjas to arrest him.

Hence, this fight.

Looking at the battle not far away, Tayuya grumbled: "Let us not interfere, we can't handle it even in a long time, really!"

Sakon on the side heard this and said: "This boy is not weak, and Kimimaro has only activated the curse seal state one, and he is not serious at all."

When Jirobo heard this, he also echoed: "That's true. This boy's ability is too strong to restrain Kimimaro, otherwise he would have died long ago."

Hearing this, Tayuya shouted directly: "Shut up, fat pig, you are a bunch of scum and verbose. If I come, I can quickly deal with him."

Just as he was talking, a muffled groan suddenly came. It turned out that Suigetsu's chakra was basically exhausted. Kimimaro found the opportunity and hit the abdomen with a ten-finger piercing bullet, losing his combat effectiveness.

Seeing this, Tayuya and others stepped forward.

However, before they could speak, Kimimaro, who had just closed the Earth Curse Seal, suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Sakon quickly asked: "Kimimaro, what's wrong with you?"

Kimimaro opened his palms and saw a pool of scarlet blood appearing in his palms.

He shook his head, pointed at Kiden Suigetsu, and said, "Take him back first, Lord Orochimaru is still waiting."

After hearing this, several other people did not dare to disobey his order and took action immediately.

······

Time passed quickly, as the sun disappeared from the sea level, night gradually fell.

The sea breeze at night was extremely biting, and everyone returned to the cabin, leaving only Baiye and his party on the deck.

Of course, in order not to attract attention, they all used transformation techniques.

For some reason, Bai Ye has been feeling a little uneasy since this morning.

However, after several inspections, nothing was found, not even the fox with white eyes.

After some time, Bai Ye saw that the night was getting dark, so he ordered: "Let's go back to the cabin."

The other people didn't speak when they heard this, but just followed Bai Ye closely.

There was no talking all night, and time soon came to the next morning.

Although the sun has not risen at this time, the sky is already turning white.

This is a beautiful sight.

Unfortunately, the appearance of several pirate ships completely ruined this beautiful scenery.
