Konoha starts from the root

Time flies by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Time came to early January of Konoha 62.

Outside, the New Year has just passed, and the lively atmosphere has not completely dissipated.

But in Baiye's experimental base, there is no smell of change between the old and the new. Everyone is busy with their own things.

This time, Beishan still lived up to Bai Ye's trust.

As early as a few days ago, he and his skilled craftsmen completed the layout of the new experimental area. In total, a hundred experimental cabins were installed.

With the existence of these experimental cabins, the gene fusion experiment of Tianzhi and Shigaraki has officially entered the final sprint stage, and the experimental progress has been advancing from 80%.

Originally, it was expected that the gene fusion experiment should be completed in February this year.

In the middle, due to the transaction with Orochimaru, genetic modification technology was obtained, and this completion time should be about two months ahead of schedule.

However, due to some delays in the transfer of the experimental base and the manufacturing of new experimental equipment, the completion of the experiment can only be postponed.

It was even later than initially expected.

The current experimental area is designed and arranged with tailed beasts as the source.

However, Fox and others have yet to find any trace of the Four Tails, so the experimental area can only be replaced by "humanoid batteries".

However, the "humanoid battery" needs to be replaced frequently, which leads to an extremely high mortality rate of experimental subjects and some deviations in the experiment.

Therefore, the gene fusion experiment has been delayed for a long time.

Not only that, this situation also caused a shortage of experimental subjects in the base.

No. [-] alone was sometimes unable to meet the requirements for capturing experimental subjects.

In desperation, Bai Ye took action several times and finally alleviated the problem.

Taken together, what is most needed now is for Kitsune and others to find traces of the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

Only in this way can the problem be fundamentally solved, allowing Bai Ye's experimental plan to proceed smoothly.

However, this still depends on the actions of Fox and others. If they can't find any trace of the Four-Tails, it will be useless no matter how anxious he is.

All he could do now was wait.

······

At noon that day, Bai Ye had just eaten something and was about to go to the training room.

Suddenly, a strange mental fluctuation appeared in my heart.

In an instant, Bai Ye knew that this mental fluctuation was exactly the fluctuation caused by actively stimulating the soul-locking curse seal.

Bai Ye felt happy and said secretly: "Is this news about the fox?"

However, after he felt it for a while, he was a little disappointed.

The person who contacted him was not Fox, but Number One.

That's right, it was No. [-] who was sent out by Bai Ye early to find Tsunade. He was accompanied by No. [-].

"Forget it, I finally got something." Bai Ye murmured.

Then, the figure disappeared from the place.

······

at the same time.

In the Kingdom of Fire, on a road outside Jinghua City.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise, and a huge boulder beside the road shattered.

Then, two figures sprang out from the scattered gravel and stood in the middle of the road not far away.

The two men wore masks and white robes, exactly what Anbu ninjas were dressed like.

As soon as they stood still, a steady and crisp sound of footsteps appeared in the smoke.

"Da da da,......"

Soon, a figure walked out of the smoke and became clear from blur.

This person wears a kimono-like loose sleeveless top, dark blue cropped trousers, a black cloth belt around the waist, and a tea-green long gown with black edges. On the back of the long gown is a large embroidered The word "gamble".

Looking at his appearance, he was about twenty years old, with long light yellow hair styled into a ponytail, and a blue-purple diamond-shaped mark on his forehead.

Coupled with bright brown eyes, light red lips, white and tender skin, and plump figure, she clearly looks like a mature woman.

Just by looking at her appearance, no one would have thought that she was Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin.

Just as she walked out of the smoke, two figures suddenly disappeared on the road ahead, one of which looked exactly like her.

Immediately afterwards, a black-haired woman appeared next to her, it was Shizune.

"Who are you two guys? Why are you following me?" Tsunade's cold voice appeared in the field.

Obviously, she had already realized that she was being followed, so she used her shadow clone as bait to fish out the man in the dark.

Her question was not answered, and the two figures remained silent from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Tsunade spoke again: "Don't tell me? Then I will beat you until you tell me."

With that said, she was about to continue taking action.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared behind the two people out of thin air.

The next moment, the two people turned around and said, "Lord Bai Ye!"

Bai Ye waved his hand slightly, signaling for them to move away.

Seeing this, No. [-] and No. [-] immediately retreated to both sides.

Only then did Baiye see Tsunade clearly.

Tsunade also saw him.

Immediately, she frowned, and based on the names of the two people, she had already confirmed the identity of the visitor.

"White Leaf?"

"Master Tsunade."

Hearing this, Tsunade frowned again and said, "What do you want from me?"

Bai Ye replied calmly: "I hope to get some of your blood."

Perhaps because Bai Ye was too direct, Tsunade was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then, she said: "What do you want to do?"

When Bai Ye heard this, he immediately guessed that Tsunade should already know what happened in Konoha recently.

Otherwise, she should be confused about what she's asking for, rather than directly asking about her purpose.

Apparently, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew that he was collecting blood.

After all, this result can be easily inferred from Hyuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto.

Similarly, he could also infer some things from the identities of these people.

In this way, whether it was to restrict Baiye or for the safety of his disciples, he would tell Tsunade what he discovered.

The fact is just as Bai Ye thought. The wily Sarutobi Hiruzen deduced very early that Bai Ye's next target is likely to be Tsunade, who has the blood of both the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan.

So, he ordered ANBU to find Tsunade and tell her the news.

Therefore, Tsunade was not too surprised when Bai Ye made the request. After all, she was mentally prepared the moment she confirmed Bai Ye's identity.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Bai Ye's tone still did not change at all. He just said lightly: "Research."

Hearing Bai Ye's answer, Tsunade whispered two words: "Really?"

As she spoke, she had already arrived in front of Bai Ye.

Punch out.

Although there was no big movement, Bai Ye felt a great power from her fist.

It was an indescribable feeling of oppression. Bai Ye was sure that if he was hit hard by this punch, he would at least be seriously injured for a short period of time.

Therefore, one must not be hit casually.
