Konoha starts from the root

Seeing Uchiha Obito leave, Shiroye relaxed a little. Just as he was about to exhale a breath, he suddenly felt a tightness in his heart and coughed several times.

"what happened?"

Bai Ye was shocked and confused.

This feeling was exactly the same as before after he used Ice Escape and Ice Prison.

At that time, time was tight, and he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was the discomfort caused by the hasty use of Ice Prison, but this situation appeared again now.

Bai Ye is a cautious person, and he never easily believes in any coincidence.

"Is it poison?"

Thinking of this possibility, he immediately closed his eyes and sensed the situation inside his body inch by inch.

One second, two seconds,...

1 minute, 2 minutes,...

After nearly 5 minutes, Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes.

"It's not poison."

With his keen perception and understanding of the human body, he carefully examined his body.

However, everything is very normal.

Even the damage to the injured right arm is a normal phenomenon after using Wind Release and Rasen Shuriken.

He couldn't be wrong about this.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Ye still didn't find the answer, so he could only put it aside temporarily.

He then recovered all the special kunai nearby that were engraved with the Flying Thunder Divine Technique.

Finally, he came to a huge stone, completed the seal in the blink of an eye, and pressed on it with one hand.

The next moment, a human head with closed eyes and black curse marks on its skin squeezed out of the stone and was held in his hand.

This is Hidan's head. At the beginning of the battle, he was hidden here by Shiroye with the help of Kirigakure's art.

If not, he might have been taken away by Jue long ago.

After doing this, Bai Ye directly used the Flying Thunder God technique to leave.

If he hadn't considered that he might have to fight Kakuzu, and in order to save chakra, he didn't directly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take away Hidan's head, maybe he could have avoided this battle.

However, judging from the situation just now, there is a high probability that this battle is difficult to avoid.

On the one hand, there are White Zetsu's spores living in Hidan's head, and his location will definitely be sensed.

On the other hand, Uchiha Obito's purpose is to find him, and he will definitely not give up easily.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Baiye still maintained a base of his own.

······

Not long after Bai Ye left, Kakashi and others finally arrived.

The explosion they saw before was the result of the confrontation between Shiroha's Ice Release and Ice Prison and Uchiha Obito's Fire Release and Explosive Wind Release.

Tianzang knelt down, stroked the frost-covered weeds, picked up a larger ice chip, and after examining it, said, "Senior, it's ice escape."

The ice crystals produced by the "Ice Escape" Blood Succession Limit are different from the ice crystals produced in nature at first.

The biggest difference is that the ice crystals of the former are mixed with weak chakra.

Of course, over time, as the chakra dissipates, the former will eventually tend to the latter.

"Ice escape?"

"That's right, senior."

Seeing Tenzou's determination, Kakashi also squatted down and inspected the ice crystals.

After a while, he stood up, looking thoughtful.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned to the Aburame Tune beside him and asked, "Are you from your 'root'?"

No wonder he would think so. As early as a few months ago, someone in the secret base of 'Gen' outside Konoha Village had awakened the "Ice Escape".

At that time, there was even a situation where the blood inheritance limit was out of control.

Although, until now, ANBU still has not determined who this person is?

However, there is no doubt that this person must have a close relationship with 'roots'.

In this regard, Anbu's guess is that this person is most likely the experimental subject of 'Root'.

It is worth mentioning that several months have passed, and the Konoha Torture Department still has not obtained the information it wants from Tanigawa Shuhei and Yanagawa Teru.

Among them, Tanikawa Shuhei had already collapsed because his soul-locking curse seal was forcibly broken, and he is still half-dead to this day.

As for Yanagi Zehui, he still looks like a vegetative state.

However, even if Bai Ye unlocks the soul-locking curse seal on him now, it is estimated that his condition will not be much better than Tanigawa Shuhei, after all, his consciousness has been sealed for too long.

In that dark and silent sealed space, most people simply cannot persist for long, and the final result will only be self-collapse.

Aburame Togen heard Kakashi's question and answered simply and directly: "I don't know."

Kakashi didn't say anything when he heard this.

I saw him biting his right thumb, forming seals in the order of Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei, then pressing it on the ground, and the psychic technique appeared.

The next moment, a petite ninja dog appeared.

"Hey, Kakashi, what do you want from me?"

"Parker, search the area for smells."

"no problem."

After saying that, Parker lowered his head and sniffed carefully.

After a long time, it said: "Besides you, there are two people nearby, but..."

"Just what?" Kakashi asked.

Parker recalled it and said with some uncertainty: "It's just that the smell of one of them is a bit familiar."

"Familiar? Who is it?"

Parker sniffed again after hearing this and replied: "Do you still remember the mission to hunt down the ANBU of Yanyin Village more than a year ago?"

After hearing this, Kakashi recalled the mission for a moment.

More than a year ago, Iwagakure suspected that Loess's disappearance was related to Konoha, so it sent several ANBU teams to invade the Land of Fire to investigate.

But soon, their whereabouts were detected by Konoha ANBU.

So, Kakashi led people to surround and kill them.

However, six people broke through the encirclement at that time.

After that, Kakashi led the ANBU ninjas along their trail and continued the pursuit.

However, when they caught up with these people, they had been killed by others.

Although they also investigated this, they did not get any clear clues.

I still remember that Parker said that it smelled a person's scent, but it was masked by the drug and could not continue to track it.

"Could it be?"

Seeing the questioning look in Kakashi's eyes, Parker confirmed: "You are right, it should be the same person."

From this, Kakashi became more and more certain that the person who appeared here was the 'root' ninja.

Because, at the beginning, he suspected that those who killed the six Iwagakure ANBU were 'Gen' ninjas, because the way the other party dealt with the corpses was very similar to 'Gen' ninjas.

Now comparing the two, the results are self-evident.

However, in this case, the ice escape ninja who appeared here is probably not as previously guessed, but just an experimental subject of 'Root'.

He is probably the 'root' ninja.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the ice escape ninja that appears this time is not the ice escape ninja that was in the root base a few months ago.

However, this possibility is slim.

It can be said that Kakashi has basically guessed it.

It's just that he hasn't connected Bai Ye with this ice escape ninja yet.
