Konoha starts from the root

That night, Baiye received a message from Yakushi Kabuto.

The content of the letter is very simple, only two sentences:

Akita Miyagi is in the hands of Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is investigating the underground base outside Konoha Village.

Looking at these two lines of text, Bai Ye fell into a brief thought.

Thinking of Experimental Subject No. 28 missing in Tianzhiguo, he basically confirmed the authenticity of this information.

As for Orochimaru being able to get information about that base from No. 28, he was not too surprised.

Compared to others, he is more aware of the limitations of his soul-locking seal.

This may not have any effect on ordinary people, but for Orochimaru, it is an obvious loophole.

However, he just thought about it for a moment and ignored it.

Not only because No. 28 didn't know much information, but also because the underground base had been abandoned.

What's more, for him, solving his own problems is the top priority.

······

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half month has passed, and the time has come to Konoha in May of the 60s.

In a laboratory at the temporary base, Bai Ye gently shook the light green liquid in the test tube with a slight smile on his face.

Then, he used a syringe to suck out the liquid in the test tube, turned and walked towards the operating table.

It can be seen that a naked young man is lying on the operating table at this time, and his body is covered with a leather scroll covered with black curse marks.

Extending from the scroll were four spells connected to the sealing array on the nearby ground.

In the center of the sealing formation, a root ninja sat in it like a statue.

However, if you look closely, you can see that some faint green chakra is constantly overflowing from his body, following the spells on the sealing formation, and converging into the body of the young man on the operating table.

This person is Experimental Subject No. 23.

However, it is different from just returning here half a month ago.

At this time, his skin was extremely pale, and his breath of life was extremely weak. If Baiye hadn't combined the S-level forbidden technique: reincarnation and sealing technique, the vitality of the 'root' ninja was continuously injected into his body. Inside his body, he was probably already dead.

Of course, it was also because of Bai Ye that he became what he is now.

In order to test the newly developed drugs, Baiye needs such an experimental subject.

As a result, under the stimulation of the radiation laboratory, the diseased cells in Subject No. 23 rapidly proliferated, eventually becoming what they are now.

Bai Ye walked to the operating table in two steps and injected all the liquid in the syringe into his body.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes,...

At this moment, time passed extremely long.

However, Bai Ye is not too anxious, because this time the drug is an improvement on the drug he developed to inhibit diseased cells during the initial radiation experiment, and has been tested on several other experimental subjects. The effect is quite obvious.

Therefore, in theory, there is no problem.

Sure enough, an hour and a half later, Experimental Subject No. 23 finally woke up. His skin was not as pale as before, and there was a little blood on the surface.

The breath of life is no longer like a candle in the wind that can be extinguished at any time. Although the candle flame is still very dim, the candle core is extremely strong.

Bai Ye observed the data on the surrounding instruments, and after a long time, he nodded with satisfaction.

Although the new drug developed this time cannot fundamentally cure the genetic disease caused by meteorite radiation, it can at least provide some relief and buy him more time.

Afterwards, Bai Ye looked at the time, felt it was almost time, and left the laboratory.

Tonight, he would personally receive a batch of supplies and information.

During this period, in order to save time, he conducted experiments regardless of cost, so he consumed a lot of various raw materials.

Fortunately, Shimura Danzo was standing behind him, otherwise the supplies alone would have been enough to give him a headache.

And this is probably one of the reasons why Orochimaru founded the Sound Ninja Village.

······

Late at night, in a certain forest within the Land of Fire.

Four masked ninjas are waiting quietly in a cave.

You can see that there are a lot of materials that have been packed and sealed inside.

Obviously, they were the 'root' ninjas sent by Danzo Shimura to take over.

Time passed by, and there was no other sound except the chirping of insects.

At a certain moment, Bai Ye suddenly appeared in the cave.

"Who?"

As a low shout sounded, figures flickered, and four root ninjas instantly surrounded Bai Ye.

Bai Ye glanced at them, his hands formed a seal, and then a vague curse mark appeared on their eyebrows.

This is the soul-locking curse seal, which basically every root ninja has.

Similarly, this is also their mark of identifying Bai Ye's identity.

Although the soul-locking curse seal at this stage cannot interfere too much with their will, in the brainwashing education of 'Root', the person who can activate this curse seal is their leader.

Sure enough, seeing their soul-locking curse seals being activated, the four people immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Sir."

Bai Ye nodded slightly and asked, "Where are the things?"

Immediately, a Root ninja took out a scroll from his arms and raised it above his head.

Bai Ye took the scroll and glanced at the talisman on it.

This is a sealing technique that contains a trap. When it is released, the scroll will be destroyed accidentally.

However, this is not very difficult for Baiye, and Shimura Danzo has already told him the solution.

I saw him making seals with his hands and successfully unlocking the seal.

Bai Ye slowly opened the scroll and read it quickly.

Previously, Danzo Shimura briefly told him the matter through the phantom body residing in his right eye, but the details still had to be narrated through the scroll.

It was very quiet in the cave. Apart from the sound of Bai Ye unrolling the scroll from time to time, the only sound left was the breathing of a few people.

Five minutes passed in an instant. The white leaf was tossed casually, and the scroll spontaneously ignited out of thin air and quickly turned into a pile of ash.

The scroll talks about two main things.

One is that Hiruzen Sarutobi has recently been putting pressure on Danzo Shimura to hand over Hidan heads that may have been hidden. After all, this is an important way to obtain intelligence about the Akatsuki organization.

However, Danzo Shimura refused this on the grounds that another member of the Akatsuki organization had taken away the head.

As for the second thing, that’s even more interesting.

Just three days ago, Orochimaru suddenly sent a message to Shimura Danzo, saying that he wanted to make a deal, using the latest research results on the Sharingan Eye in exchange for the meteorite in Hoshigakure Village.

I have to say, Orochimaru is really powerful.

After he determined that the underground base outside Konoha Village had been abandoned, it only took him about ten days to infer based on Akita Miyagi's condition, his description of the experimental process, and some remaining traces in the abandoned base. The key to the experiment is the meteorite lost in Xingyin Village last year.

Although Hoshigakure Village did not publicize this matter much, Orochimaru, who was well-informed, still noticed it.
