Konoha starts from the root

The time soon came to evening.

It was already the zenith of the moon.

Konoha Village, which was lively and bustling during the day, fell into silence as people rested.

However, not everyone has rested. There are some people in the ANBU who are still on duty. Especially after Hiruzen Sarutobi raised the alert level of the village, there are even more people on duty at night.

In an underground hall, four ninjas wearing white robes and white hats were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed.

And above their heads, there was a huge thing that looked like a water balloon.

This is the core of Konoha Village's barrier system.

The so-called barrier system is actually a combination of perception barriers placed in different locations in the village. Its main function is to sense people who invade the village without authorization.

Generally speaking, crossing the barrier requires a specific code spell, otherwise it will be detected by the barrier system.

In Konoha, only a small number of people know the code technique.

Not only that, this secret code technique will be changed regularly to prevent spies from other villages from knowing it.

If you want to avoid attracting the attention of the barrier system, you must enter through the Konoha gate, because the perception barrier set here will generally not be opened. After all, there are too many people coming and going.

Once someone enters the village from other places, they will inevitably be detected by the barrier system, and the Anbu will immediately be dispatched to arrest them.

In other words, the barrier system is the first layer of defense for Konoha Village.

Suddenly, ripples appeared somewhere in the water ball in the hall.

Immediately, all four ninjas from the barrier class below opened their eyes.

"Come here!" one of them shouted immediately.

"Crench."

The moment he spoke, the door was pushed open, and two heavily armed ANBU ninjas walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone has invaded the village, and the location is near the memorial monument."

The person who spoke was the same person who spoke before, and his tone was quite urgent at this time.

The two Anbu looked at each other after hearing this, and one of them said: "You go and notify the special response team to dispatch, and I will report this matter to the Third Generation."

After hearing the words, the ninja on the opposite side nodded, and the two of them used the teleportation technique to leave at the same time.

······

On the other side, next to the Konoha Cemetery and in front of the Memorial Monument, Kakashi, who was once again awakened by a nightmare, came here wearing casual clothes.

He lowered his head and silently looked at the names of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, feeling tormented in his heart.

Just like that, time seemed to freeze.

A few minutes later, four ANBU ninjas suddenly arrived.

"team leader?"

The leading ninja greeted Kakashi with confusion in his voice.

Kakashi came back to his senses after hearing the sound, the sadness on his face disappeared, and he returned to his previous indifference.

He looked at the four ANBU who were extremely alert a few meters away, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked: "Yan, what happened?"

After hearing Kakashi call out the code name of Po Yan, the four Anbu relaxed a little.

"Captain, just a few minutes ago, the barrier class discovered the intruder."

Yan didn't finish what he said, but Kakashi immediately understood the meaning.

The four Anbu headed by Yan were the members he personally selected to join the special response team. Since they are here, it means that the intruder is nearby.

Immediately, he and Yan looked at each other and made a gesture at the same time.

The next moment, an ANBU member suddenly formed a seal and opened his Byakugan.

However, the first person he looked at was Kakashi.

Indeed, it was quite a coincidence that Kakashi appeared here.

Even though Kakashi's performance just now was not abnormal, he still confirmed it immediately.

"The chakra flow is very smooth, there is no trace of the influence of genjutsu, and the left eye is indeed a Sharingan."

After observing these, he determined that the person in front of him was their captain, Hatake Kakashi.

Just when he was observing Kakashi with his Byakugan, Kakashi actually discovered this.

However, he didn't say much. If it were put to him, he would do the same.

After confirming Kakashi's identity, the ANBU with the Byakugan focused his attention on the surroundings.

After a moment, he spoke very quickly: "Direction of eleven o'clock, 30 meters away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi and the others all disappeared.

The next moment, a huge fireball dispelled the surrounding darkness.

Immediately afterwards, there was an explosion and sparks flew everywhere.

Not far away, in a charred pit, a ninja wearing a mask and black robe stood there safe and sound.

This person is Uchiha Obito.

He learned about Bai Ye's existence during the day, which made him very concerned, so he planned to come to Konoha Village to investigate secretly at night.

He has not been to Konoha for nearly two years since the Uchiha clan was exterminated.

Somehow today, he came directly to the Memorial Monument. Coincidentally, Kakashi also came here late at night.

In this way, the two of them were 30 meters apart, both silently looking at the commemorative monument.

In the past, when he invaded Konoha, he was mostly near the Uchiha area. Since it was an autonomous region of the Uchiha clan, the village did not have a perception barrier, so he could only confirm his approximate location every time.

However, it was different now. The entire village's barrier system had been rearranged, and its exact location was determined the moment he stepped into the village.

Not only that, Konoha Village also formed a special response team, and then he was caught red-handed.

At this time, Kakashi and three ANBU ninjas had surrounded him.

"Who are you?" Kakashi stared at Uchiha Obito and asked.

Uchiha Obito did not answer his question, but responded with silence.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh,..."

Guns of kunai were shot at Uchiha Obito from all directions.

Uchiha Obito immediately opened his Sharingan and easily avoided all kunai.

"Sharingan!" Kakashi immediately saw the Sharingan under Uchiha Obito's mask, and was extremely surprised: "Is it Uchiha Itachi?"

On second thought, he rejected his guess, because Uchiha Itachi was not one-eyed, and according to what the previous three generations had said, this person was most likely a ninja who frequently invaded the village before and after the Uchiha genocide.

Although various thoughts kept flashing through his mind, the movements of Kakashi's hands did not stop.

I saw him pulling with both hands, and two steel wires bounced off the ground.

At the same time, the other three people also made the same move.

Immediately, a large net made of steel wire appeared around Uchiha Obito.

It turned out that the tails of the kunai they shot just now were all connected with wires, and their goal from the beginning was to capture them alive.

"receive."

Following Kakashi's order, the four people tightened the wire at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the big net was attached to Uchiha Obito.

If it were an ordinary ninja, he might really be caught by these four people who cooperated tacitly.

However, when the steel wire tightened further, the large net penetrated Uchiha Obito's body and became entangled.

"What?" Yan said in shock when he saw this.

"Be careful!" Kakashi suddenly warned.

As he spoke, he fired a kunai.

However, this kunai still passed through the opponent's body strangely.

However, thanks to Kakashi's reminder, Yan still escaped Uchiha Obito's attack.
