Konoha starts from the root

There is a deserted land somewhere within the Kingdom of Thunder.

Three figures, two large and one small, were standing on a high ground, overlooking the valley below.

Suddenly, another figure appeared.

"Lord Baiye!"

"Bai Ye, you are here!"

It was Fox, No. [-], and Xiang Phosphorus who spoke.

The visitor was none other than Bai Ye.

He nodded slightly to the three of them and didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the valley below.

Although he had just arrived from the Land of Fire, he was well aware of the current situation.

The reason is simple. A ray of his spiritual will was lodged in the fox's soul-locking seal.

Therefore, what the fox knew, he also knew after the ray of spiritual will returned just now.

According to the memory information transmitted back, he knew that the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Lao Zi, was now hiding in the valley below.

As early as more than an hour ago, Fox and others found traces of each other in a nearby town, and Xiang Phosphorus confirmed it.

However, after all, Lao Zi has been wandering outside for such a long time, and his sense of crisis is still very strong.

Therefore, Lao Zi discovered her when Xiang Phosphorus used Kagura's Heart Eye to perceive.

Then, Lao Zi began to flee.

Under the instruction of Bai Ye's spiritual will, Fox and others only followed him from a distance, letting the sense of crisis always linger around the other party, driving him away from the town and away from the human population.

Only in this way, the next actions will not attract the attention of others.

Whether it was out of confidence in his own strength or for other reasons, after leaving the town, he went straight to this valley, and then stopped running away.

Seeing that he no longer fled, Bai Ye's spiritual will immediately returned to his body and passed the information to his body.

Therefore, Bai Ye directly used Tsunade's psychological disease of fear of blood to end the battle there, and then rushed here without stopping.

······

After carefully observing the valley below for a while, Bai Ye easily discovered the anomaly.

It can be seen that somewhere at the bottom of the valley, there is a crack about ten meters long and two meters wide. You can vaguely feel that there is a continuous stream of hot air coming out from there.

"Fox, look what's going on there?" Bai Ye pointed at the crack and said.

"Yes."

After the fox responded, he immediately opened his white eyes.

I saw blue veins popping up on both sides of his eyes. His originally white eyes instantly turned bluish-white, and some black marks appeared in his pupils.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and said to Bai Ye: "Sir, there is a piece of magma about 300 meters below the crack."

"Oh, magma?"

"Yes, sir, the other party is hiding there now."

"I see."

He had already guessed Lao Zi's plan. He must have wanted to use the geographical advantage to solve the problem.

"Really confident!"

Bai Ye murmured and said, "Just wait here, I'll go down and take a look."

Hearing this, before Hu and No. [-] could respond, Xiang Ling was the first to speak: "Bai Ye, how about I go down with you? I can help you, he is very powerful!"

Apparently, Kagura sensed the terror of the Four-Tails through Kagura's inner eye.

However, Bai Ye still rejected her proposal and said lightly: "No, you just stay here."

To be honest, he didn't take Lao Zi and Siwei seriously, even if the other party was in a favorable environment.

In order to capture the Four Tails, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and now he just needed to proceed step by step.

There was no place for fragrant phosphorus in the plan, so he decisively rejected the fragrant phosphorus' proposal.

Seeing Bai Ye's refusal, although Xiang Lu was a little unhappy, he still didn't dare to go against Bai Ye's wishes and could only nod with a pout.

······

Deep underground, Bai Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to explore downwards.

At this time, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed since he entered the crack.

But he still didn't see the magma, nor did he find Lao Zi.

I have to say that there are so many special landforms like this in the ninja world!

Who would have thought that beneath such an ordinary valley, there would be a sheet of magma.

I'm afraid that Lao Zi stayed in a nearby town just to practice here.

After all, the ability possessed by the Four Tails is Melting Escape, and through arduous training, he himself merged the fire and earth attributes and gained the power of "Melting Escape".

Therefore, the environment here is not only a good place for him to practice, but also a good place to fight.

Soon, another few minutes passed.

Bai Ye jumped off a protruding rock, passed through an irregular cave, and landed directly on another rock below.

Immediately, a heat wave hit, Bai Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly adapted to the environment here.

The previous passage was relatively dark, but here it is exceptionally bright.

The reason is simply because there is a piece of magma in front of him.

"Boy, who are you?"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind.

However, Bai Ye did not panic because he had already sensed the other party's existence.

Turning around, he glanced at the other party, and it was none other than the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki - Lao Zi.

By the way, he also saw the environment he was in.

This is a huge cave, surrounded by a magma lake, and the place where he stands is just a rock of about a hundred square meters on the magma lake.

While Bai Ye was looking around, Lao Zi was looking at his face steadily.

When Bai Ye focused his attention on him again, he seemed to recognize Bai Ye's identity and said, "Are you... Bai Ye?"

However, what responded to him was Bai Ye's fleeting figure.

"So fast!" Lao Zi was shocked.

Without paying attention, he had lost track of Bai Ye. The two were only ten meters apart at first, leaving him no time to think.

Instinctively, he used the melting chakra mode.

This is to wrap high-temperature lava around the body to form molten armor.

This armor not only has extremely strong defensive power, but also has good lethality. It is most restrained by all contact melee methods such as physical skills.

Bai Ye was obviously using the teleportation technique to get closer, so Lao Zi's choice can be said to be very correct.

In this case, most people can only give up close combat.

However, Bai Ye is not an ordinary person who is afraid of everything.

He was seen standing on the right side of Lao Zi, with one hand directly extending into the lava surrounding him.

No, to be more precise, it should be that he didn't let go after the other party used the Melting Chakra Mode.

There was a "sizzling" sound, followed by the disgusting smell of meat and burnt smell mixed together.

Lao Zi looked at Bai Ye in disbelief and stammered: "You, you, you..."

Bai Ye endured the pain and whispered to Lao Zi, "Let's change places."

After that, the two disappeared from the spot.
