Konoha starts from the root

In a flash, more than four months have passed.

Time came to August of Konoha 62 years.

Country of Sichuan, underground base, experimental area.

Bai Ye looked slightly pale and withdrew his mental power.

After a few breaths, the door to the experimental area was opened, and Tianzhi and Shigaraki walked in at the same time.

Compared to a few months ago, they were much more haggard.

However, their eyes became brighter.

The two people quickly came to Bai Ye and greeted: "Sir Bai Ye!"

Bai Ye looked at them, waved his hands a little tiredly, and said, "Okay, let's go check it out."

"Yes."

"Yes."

After Tianzhi and Shigaraki responded one after another, they hurried towards the experimental cabin.

Bai Ye sat down on the spot and regained his energy.

Soon, an hour passed.

Tenchi and Shigaraki returned to Shiraha and reported: "Sir, the results of the sixth spiritual assimilation are out."

"Say."

"Yes, sir, during this spiritual assimilation, 5 'seeds' collapsed, and the number of remaining 'seeds' is now 78."

"Five..." Bai Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "What were the results of the previous few times?"

When Tianzhi heard this, he immediately opened the experimental record in his hand, looked through it, and replied: "The first time of spiritual assimilation, the number of 'seeds' collapsed was 1; the second time, 213; and the third time, 2; the fourth time, 177; the fifth time, 3.”

“213、177、96、42、11，再加上这次的5个。”

Bai Ye quickly calculated in his mind and thought to himself: "After six spiritual assimilations, 544 'seeds' collapsed. It's really..."

The so-called spiritual assimilation is actually Bai Ye using his own mental power to suppress the emergence of these 'seeds' of self-awareness, and at the same time stamp his own mark, thus paving the way for the subsequent transfer of souls.

Bai Ye cultivated these 'seeds' not to create artificial humans, he was just cultivating a suitable carrier for his soul.

······

More than a month ago, these embryonic seeds developed into palm-sized fetuses.

From then on, the nerves in their bodies began to grow rapidly, and hearing, touch, etc. also developed.

The information thus collected is finally converged on the developing brain nerves.

If they continue, they will have initial consciousness and then give birth to a new soul.

Obviously, this is what Bai Ye doesn't want to see.

Therefore, as planned in advance, he used his mental power to assimilate their embryonic consciousness and stifle the emergence of their self-awareness.

In this way, new souls will not be born.

He has to do this kind of assimilation every week.

Initially, due to Bai Ye's inexperience and the instinctive rejection of the 'seed', 213 of them collapsed one after another, second only to the 237 who died during the original Four-Tails uprising.

It would be okay if it was just once, but unfortunately, one spiritual assimilation is far from enough.

The 'seeds' at this stage are very fragile, and Bai Ye cannot exert strong mental power, but they are in a high-speed development stage.

Therefore, Bai Ye can only perform mental assimilation every other week and gradually increase the mental power exerted.

This resulted in the collapse of these 544 'seeds'.

Still, it's all worth it.

It can be seen from the current data that the surviving 'seeds' are becoming more and more adapted to his mental power.

According to his estimation, with one or two more assimilations, these 'seeds' would be able to completely adapt to his mental power.

At that time, you can enter the next stage - the infection of the soul.

There is no doubt that, like the first spiritual assimilation, this will be another test.

Bai Ye couldn't help but feel worried when he thought that there were only 78 surviving 'seeds' left.

If not for the fact that many 'seeds' had died on the way due to various factors before the spiritual assimilation was carried out, he would not be so worried.

To be honest, 78 'seeds' are too few.

But he can't stop now and can only choose to move forward.

However, the good news is that the surviving 'seeds' are obviously more resistant.

Under normal circumstances, people will no longer die due to slight disturbances.

This actually made Bai Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

If some more 'seeds' died due to other factors, then he would really be in despair.

······

After thinking for a while, Bai Ye left the place after instructing Tenchi and Shigaraki to take care of the experimental area.

Spiritual assimilation is obviously not an easy thing.

In this process, he must concentrate and coordinate every ray of mental power, otherwise he will easily kill those fragile 'seeds'.

In addition, every spiritual assimilation takes a long time.

Therefore, he is very tired now.

Unfortunately, he was destined not to have a good rest today.

Just when he walked out of the experimental area, the fox found him in a hurry.

"what's up?"

Looking at the sudden appearance of the fox, Bai Ye asked.

After bowing and saluting, the fox replied: "Sir, Takigakure Village has been destroyed."

Hearing this, Bai Ye was immediately shocked and said, "Is the news accurate?"

"This news has spread throughout the ninja world, and I also sent people to check it out. Takigakure Village was indeed destroyed three days ago." Fox replied.

"Do you know who did it?" Bai Ye asked again.

Fox replied directly: "It's not clear yet."

Hearing this, Bai Ye asked doubtfully: "I remember asking you to place people near Longyin Village, but they didn't find anything?"

Indeed, after the last four-tailed capture was successful, Baiye did not allow the experimental subjects who assisted the fox and others to search for the four-tailed traces to return to the base.

Instead, they took advantage of the situation and lurked near various ninja villages.

He didn't expect these people to provide any secret information, just to get the general information as soon as possible after big changes occurred in these ninja villages.

Now, under his influence, the ninja world is no longer as familiar to him as he remembered.

Although he still didn't care much about this, confidence did not mean arrogance, so he still asked Hu to arrange people to actively collect intelligence.

Especially the information about the shinobi villages that are involved with the tailed beasts.

However, Takigakure Village was wiped out three days ago. As a result, he didn't know until now that there was obviously something wrong with it.

Upon hearing Bai Ye's question, Hu immediately replied: "Sir, the person I arranged has disappeared."

"Missing?" Bai Ye asked confused.

"Ah."

Fox nodded and responded.

Seeing this, Bai Ye closed his eyes and carefully sensed the Flying Thunder Divine Technique on the backs of all experimental subjects' necks, as well as the soul-locking curse seals between their eyebrows.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked, "Are the missing ones No. 325 and No. 246?"

When the fox heard this, he immediately nodded and replied: "Yes, sir."

"Sure enough, was he killed?"

Bai Ye murmured and said, "Come over here with Xiang Phosphorus and let's take a look."

"Yes."

After the fox responded, he immediately left.

Looking at his back, Bai Ye fell into deep thought: "Could it be that the Xiao organization took action in advance?"
