Konoha starts from the root

afternoon.

In the country of Taki, somewhere in a hidden cave.

Suddenly, three figures, two tall and one short, appeared quietly among them.

The group of people was Bai Ye, Fox, and Xiang Phosphorus.

Glancing at the disappearing Flying Thunder Divine Technique on the ground, Bai Ye gathered chakra at his feet and wiped it away.

Then, he glanced at the rock next to him, reached out and pressed it, and the latest version of the Flying Thunder God's technique appeared, and then quickly disappeared.

The mark he sensed just now was left a long time ago, and was slightly less secretive and accurate. Now it is natural to update it casually.

"Back here again!" Xiang Ling looked around and sighed.

Yes, this is where Bai Ye started teaching Xiang Phosphorus, so she was very impressed.

As for the fox on the side, he did not speak, but consciously opened his eyes to confirm the surrounding situation.

Fortunately, the country of Kawakawa and the country of Taki are not far apart, and accordingly, his underground base is not too far away from here.

Therefore, using the Flying Thunder God's Technique to bring two people over at once would cost a lot, but it was still within his tolerance.

Seeing that the fox had closed its eyes, Baiye asked casually: "How is it?"

Fox immediately responded: "Sir, there are no traces of ninjas around."

"Ah."

Bai Ye nodded and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he used a teleportation technique and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Seeing this, Hu and Xiang Ling followed immediately.

The country of Taki is mostly filled with mountains, rivers, lakes, cliffs and waterfalls.

Such an environment allowed this small country, which was originally sandwiched between several countries, to avoid the intrusion of several ninja wars. Although it could not develop, it would not be too poor.

However, that may not change in the future.

With the destruction of Takigakure Village, no matter what it looks like on the surface, secretly, this country will inevitably be controlled by several surrounding countries, and the people's property will inevitably be lost.

As a result, the country of Taki will also fall into decline and poverty.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Bai Ye. He only cares about one thing - that is, does the destruction of Takigakure Village have anything to do with the 'Akatsuki' organization?

If it was really the Akatsuki organization, then Nanao must have fallen into their hands.

In the same way, it means that they have begun to act in advance.

And this is definitely not good news for Bai Ye.

Because he doesn't have the strength to confront Liu Dao Madara head-on.

As for leaving his fate in the hands of Uzumaki Naruto, the so-called protagonist, Bai Ye had never thought about it.

Therefore, once his guess is confirmed, he will disrupt the actions of the Akatsuki organization in order to buy time.

He had a hunch that as long as his experiment was successful, it wouldn't be long before he would have the strength to compete head-on, or even suppress Six Paths Madara.

Thinking like this, Bai Ye's pace quickened a bit again.

About an hour later, Baiye and his party finally arrived at Takigakure Village.

No, now it should be said to be the ruins of Takigakure Village.

Originally, the entrance to Takigakure Village was hidden behind a waterfall, and most of the village was hidden in the mountains.

However, now, the waterfall has disappeared, and even the mountain behind the waterfall has collapsed.

From these alone, it can be seen that a fierce battle must have taken place here.

Along the way, the corpses of many Taki ninjas were lying scattered around the village.

They looked as if they had just escaped from the village, but were stopped by someone. Their hearts were broken, and they died in pain with fear on their faces.

Just as Bai Ye was looking at the ruins of Takigakure Village, Kitsune walked over quickly, handed over a wooden thorn as thick as a finger, and said, "Sir, this was found from the body of a Takigakure."

Hearing this, Bai Ye took the wooden thorn.

It can be seen that it is still stained with scarlet blood, but it is just a little dry.

After all, these Taki-nin have been dead for three days.

Bai Ye took the wooden thorn and felt it carefully for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Did you find anything else?"

"My subordinates also discovered that although the cause of death of those Taki-nin was heart rupture, their bodies and surfaces were pierced by something." Fox replied meticulously.

Hearing this, Bai Ye murmured: "Sure enough, the art of cutting..."

Wooden Release: Cutting Jutsu is an extremely cruel ninjutsu. The user can grow long wooden thorns from his arms and insert them into the enemy to perform a piercing attack.

After piercing the enemy's body, it will immediately branch and grow, and then pierce the enemy's body from the inside.

Obviously, these Taki-nin all died from this technique.

"A Fei..." Bai Ye muttered a name, glanced at the nearby corpses, and said to himself: "Are you no longer willing to cover up?"

"Walk."

Bai Ye uttered one word, and then walked straight to the ruins of Takigakure Village.

The fox's expression remained unchanged and he followed.

However, Xiang Lu's face looked slightly pale at this time.

After all, she was just a 12-year-old girl. Although she had seen many experimental subjects in the experimental base, she had never seen anything too cruel under Bai Ye's deliberate protection.

Seeing this scene suddenly now made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The further you go inside, the more corpses there are, including ninjas, civilians, men, women, adults, and children.

Most of these people died in the aftermath of the battle before they had time to escape.

After careful inspection, Bai Ye basically deduced the truth behind the destruction of Takigakure Village.

If his prediction was correct, the mastermind behind it should be the 'Akatsuki' organization.

As for who did it?

Most likely it will be Kakuzu and Fei.

After all, He Jiao has fought several times, and some of the opponent's methods can be seen through the traces of the battle.

The other party was born in Takigakure Village, so he was naturally very familiar with Takigakure Village.

It was precisely because of this that he easily found an opportunity to enter it.

Therefore, when he launched an attack, Takigakure was caught off guard.

The identity of Fu, the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki, has already been investigated by the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, Kakuzu's target is directly at Fu.

Since the relatively closed terrain of Takigakure limited Fu's flexibility, and she wanted to protect the villagers, she was easily captured by Kakuzu, who was extremely experienced in combat.

As for the leader of Takigakure Village, although his chakra has been improved dozens of times after taking the Heroic Water, he is still no match for Kakuzu.

Eventually died at the hands of Kakuzu.

After the first battle, all Kakuzu gave was his two hearts.

Of course, Bai Ye doesn't know these details.

All he knew was that Fu had fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki organization.

Based on the available intelligence, Shiroye estimated that Nanao was probably the first tailed beast captured by the Akatsuki organization.

In this case, it would take at least three days for the 'Dawn' organization to gather everyone's strength to perform the Nine Sealings of the Phantom Dragon.

After all, in the memory of the previous life, it only took three days for the heretic demon to absorb the chakra of the first tail, and this was done after it had already absorbed the seven tails.

Therefore, according to time calculation, everyone in the Akatsuki organization should still be sealing Nanao somewhere.

Moreover, this location is definitely not too far from Takigakure Village.

As for whether it was the cave where Yiwei was sealed in memory?

Shiroye guessed it was unlikely. After all, it was within the territory of Kawa no Kuni, and it was impossible for them to take Nanao that far away.

After thinking about this clearly, Bai Ye immediately called: "Xiang Phosphorus, come here."

"coming."

Xiang Ling responded from a distance, ran over quickly, and said, "What's the matter, Bai Ye?"
