Konoha starts from the root

After Tianzang left, there was a long silence in the conference room.

They either lowered their heads or closed their eyes, quietly waiting for news from Tianzang while thinking.

However, before Tianzang could reply, a striking light bloomed in the distant night sky.

Instantly awakened the sleeping Konoha Village.

Immediately, figures appeared one after another, walking quickly across the roof.

Some of them rushed directly to the source of the light, some quickly came to the Hokage Building, and some entered some hidden places.

The overall appearance can be said to be busy but not chaotic, which fully reflects the quality of ninjas in a great country's ninja village.

In fact, the Konoha ninja's current quality is entirely due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's precautions.

The first time he learned about the existence of the Xiao organization from Bai Ye's mouth, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

As a result, he secretly stockpiled various supplies and formulated various emergency plans.

It is precisely because of this that Konoha was able to force back Iwagakure Village and Sunagakure Village.

Similarly, this is also the reason why Konoha ninjas can act in an orderly manner at this time.

Mito Kadoyan stood at the window, looking at the long-lasting light in the night sky in the distance, and said: "Hiruzen, that should be a heavy-duty prison, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also stared out the window, nodded and said, "Not bad."

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said: "Shikaku, give me an order. From now on, the village will enter an S-level alert state. No one is allowed to enter or leave the village at will without permission."

Nara Shikaku stood up and responded: "Yes, the Third Generation."

After that, he was just about to leave when Rinta Yasui suddenly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Nara Shikaku's footsteps stopped.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Yasui Rinta opened his eyes and told an unacceptable fact.

"Sir, the intruder has left Area 45."

Area 45 is where Konoha's heavy punishment prison is located.

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room was silent for a while, and then became angry from the bottom of their hearts.

Baiye's behavior is a provocation to any ninja village.

The former Iwagakure Village and the current Konoha Hidden Village all thought so.

"It's really lawless! Hiruzen, no matter what, you must catch this intruder, otherwise Konoha's face will be lost." Koharu said coldly when he went to bed.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not very optimistic in his heart.

For some reason, there was always a vague sense of ominousness in his heart.

At this moment, he was waiting for a piece of crucial information.

About 2 minutes later, a slightly thin, yellow-haired, middle-aged ninja walked in.

Seeing the person coming, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a slight smile on his face.

"Hai Yi, you are finally here."

That's right, the person who came was none other than Yamanaka Haiichi, the leader of the Yamazaka clan.

As the captain of the Konoha Analysis Team, Yamanaka Haiichi not only possesses a large amount of confidential information, but also possesses intelligence collection and analysis capabilities far beyond ordinary people.

He first nodded to everyone, and then said: "I'm sorry, Third Generation, I wasted some time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said, "Haiichi, I believe you already understand the situation. Please tell me your conclusion."

That's right, relying on the secret technique passed down by the mountain family, the Ninjutsu?6?1 Heart-opening Technique.

He immediately contacted Tenzo, who had just completed the preliminary investigation, and the guard ninja who were still alive in Konoha's heavy punishment prison.

After combining their statements and the information he had, he soon came to a preliminary conclusion.

"Sandaime-sama, there is more than an 6% chance that tonight's intruder has mastered the S-level soul ninjutsu?1?[-] spiritual transformation technique."

"Spiritual transformation technique?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in shock.

Shan Zhonghai nodded and said: "Not bad.

All the ANBU squad stationed in Area 27 have died.

Based on Tenzo's description, I think their deaths were most likely caused by mental breakdowns caused by the art of spiritual transformation.

The death conditions of many people in the severe punishment prison are also very similar.

In addition, according to the descriptions of the surviving ninjas in the heavy punishment prison, the state of the intruders is basically the same as the state of the ninjas after performing the spiritual transformation recorded in the files.

Therefore, I am more than [-]% sure that the other party is using the technique of spiritual transformation. "

Hearing Yamanaka Haiichi's conclusion, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but think of the young jounin who had made great achievements in the Second Ninja War - Kato Dan.

The opponent used spiritual transformation techniques to take away the lives of countless enemies.

If Yamanaka Haiichi's guess is correct, then the enemy will be equally dangerous this time.

No, it should be more dangerous. After all, the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness.

Being targeted by an enemy who is hiding in the dark and can skillfully control and use the art of spiritual transformation. You can imagine how dangerous this is.

"His identity must be established as quickly as possible."

Thinking like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Haiichi, do you have any guesses about his identity?"

When Shanzhong Hai heard this, he was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little disappointed.

However, at this moment, Nara Shikaku, who had not left before, reminded him: "Sandaime-sama, this may be related to the ANBU's mission in Area 27."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head buzzed.

The next moment, all kinds of thoughts came to mind.

"Danzo, severe punishment prison...Shigaraki, could it be..."

"Not good! The "Tauren King" plan..."

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at each other, Koharu, who was sleeping, and Mito Monoyan, both of whom understood what the other party meant.

"The target of the intruder is Shigaraki."

This was originally a relatively obvious clue. The only one who could connect the severe punishment prison and Shimura Danzo was Shigaraki Raccoon.

As for the "Bull-Headed King" plan, that was just speculation on the part of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

The reason why they didn't figure this out right away was entirely because the information brought by Yamanaka Haiichi was too surprising.

Therefore, I didn’t think about this for a while.

Nara Shikaku, who was able to remind them in time, obviously remained calm.

However, just being calm is not enough, because only Sarutobi Hiruzen and two advisors know the location of Shimura Danzo's house arrest, apart from the ANBU ninjas who are performing the mission.

However, it is obvious that Nara Shikaku has guessed that the task of the ANBU team in Area 27 is to monitor Shimura Danzo, otherwise he would not have reminded him like this.

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer concealed anything and said directly to Yamanaka Haiichi: "Contact Tenzo and ask him if Danzo is still alive?"

Hearing this, Yamanaka Haiichi looked startled, then nodded, and began to close his eyes and perform the secret technique, Ninja Technique? 6? 1 Mind-opening Technique.

After a while, he opened his eyes and uttered two simple words: "Alive."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly in his heart and continued: "Contact the surviving ninjas at the severe punishment prison and ask them to confirm Shigaraki's current situation as soon as possible. If he is still inside, immediately take him and the ninjas who came to support him. Convergence.”

Yamanaka Haiichi once again used his secret technique.
