Konoha Hits The Soul

The huge light source lit up the dark city.

Under the brilliance of countless searchlights, this deep underground Konoha, a city banned by the Senju clan, once again ushered in a short-lived rebirth, bringing the rotten ruins into the glory, looking holy but dilapidated.

Go through the temporarily opened passage.

From the narrow hole to the front.

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes swept across the sides indifferently, and his expressionless face made it hard to see what he was thinking.

Behind him, the long-haired Jiraiya followed suit, looking around quietly, but there was an indescribable shock in his eyes.

Obviously, it was the first time Jiraiya came to this place, and it was also the first time to know that there is such a huge city in the depths of Konoha, which is simply... incredible.

Jiraiya turned his head and looked at the other side where the lights converged and the sound was a little noisy.

In the ruins of a building that apparently collapsed recently, under the supervision of an Anbu staff, several ninjas in research uniforms are doing excavation and sample collection here.

It was faintly visible that a beastly deformed organism was dragged out of the overwhelming ruins.

Even among them, there is still alive?

Jiraiya raised her eyebrows slightly, it was hard to imagine what Danzo did in this hidden place.

It shouldn't be an experimental modified form of Nine Tails... right?

and many more!

As if thinking of something.

Jiraiya's expression changed, and she looked at the "ricking" figure in front of him.

His lips whispered, and he wanted to open his mouth several times, but after all, he could only be silent.

"Alive again this time? It seems that this time I can't say that I got nothing."

Suddenly, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a sound and stepped forward.

"Master Hokage."

Hear that Anbu reminded.

The ninjas who were digging immediately wanted to get up and salute, but Sarutobi Hiruzen waved to stop him, and he came to the dying Nine Tails experimental modified body.

He leaned down, examined the animalized alien species in front of him, rolled the eyelids of the subject, and after seeing the animal-like pupils inside, he asked:

"It seems to be a failed product, but since it can survive, it shows that there is still some merit in the body. It seems that Danzo has overcome the short-lived limitation of these experimental subjects and achieved new results."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand, and someone reacted immediately and skillfully handed a box to Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.

Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya frowned slightly and watched as Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the box and took out a mint-colored potion bottle with a hazard label inside, and a brand new needle.

He inserted the needle into the medicine bottle, drained all the liquid inside, then took the needle out, flicked it lightly, and injected it into the meridian of the subject.

As the mint-colored liquid was injected into the subject's body, the apparently pale subject's face immediately flushed. It opened its mouth and roared in a low voice, with anger and unwillingness revealed in its hoarse voice.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen just snorted and clasped his five fingers in the subject's head.

The subject bared his teeth, first showing a hideous expression, then immediately froze, his body trembled suddenly, and began to twitch crazily. At the same time, several broken images flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly and let go of his five fingers like eagle's claws. The subject was relieved. Then, he turned up Byakugan, and his breath suddenly became sluggish, and he fell into a coma.

"It doesn't seem to be enough."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, his old eyes swept over the people who were performing the excavation task one by one: "Because there are too many secrets involved, using these people is the current limit, but for the future of the village, it can only Please do your best. I need more'materials'."

"Yes, Master Hokage."

Everyone replied in unison.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to several people, glanced at Anbu beside him, and Anbu immediately understood, and instantly appeared in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen: "What do you want, your lord?"

"Have you found the clue for Nine Tails Jinchūriki?" Hiruzen said indifferently.

Behind the mask, he glanced at Jiraiya behind Sarutobi Hiruzen with hesitation, but seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of blocking or disguising, Anbu Ninja said:

"At present, it can only be confirmed that the confession made at Namikaze Minato is true. The place where Nine Tails Jinchūriki last appeared is indeed the place he and you mentioned. We only detected a strong Nine Tails Chakra reaction there.

As for where Nine Tails Jinchūriki went afterwards, because the scene was devastated, we still can’t judge its specific location at the moment. "

"I see."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "Send more people to find it. Anyway, you must bring Nine Tails Jinchūriki back alive. Until there is no new Jinchūriki target, the safety of Nine Tails Jinchūriki cannot be lost."

"Yes, Master Hokage."

The Anbu ninja nodded in reply, and then continued: "In addition, the first target you ordered..."

"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

"According to intelligence, the first target still has its own resources and manpower reserves outside the village, and now it has gathered many ninjas who perform tasks outside the village."

Anbu ninja replied: "Because we are already a little stretched in manpower, if we need to go further, I'm afraid..."

"How many more people are needed?"

"At least one operation unit. The power of the first target outside the village is far beyond our imagination. If you want to form an accurate intelligence reserve, you need at least one operation unit to go to multiple places for simultaneous exploration."

The Anbu Ninja continued to reply: "Otherwise, if one of them loses, it is very likely that they will be stunned, a chain reaction will occur, and our detective mission will fall short."

"I know, I will solve it as soon as possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said blankly: "You must keep an eye on this place during this time. Now, this place is very important to us."

"Subordinates understand."

The Anbu ninja nodded and saluted, then stepped back and continued his surveillance work.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, turned his head to look at Jiraiya, who had been silent, and smiled slightly: "You did a good job. It seems that after this incident, your character has calmed down a lot."

Jiraiya smiled and said nothing.

"How about it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked, "Jiraiya, what do you think of this place?"

Jiraiya was silent. After a long time, he replied: "It's terrible, it's terrible to the extreme."

"Oh, I know you are reacting like this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and smiled: "But now, Konoha's time is running out."

His smile narrowed, and the sharpness in his eyes that made him look older and older was overworked, and he said frankly: "Jiraiya, Danzo is gone, and the roots are shattered. Konoha needs a suitable person to inherit everything he left."
