Second visit to Hokage

While Yasuo was enjoying a rare vacation, Kakashi was standing side by side with Itachi and Sasuke next to a bottomless pit. Itachi changed out of the red cloud robe of the Akatsuki organization and wore a black combat uniform. He still wore the scratched Konoha rebel forehead protector on his head. His long hair that was originally loose was combed up and tied back. , the silent and cold temperament completely faded away. With a gentle smile on his face, he said to Kakashi: "As expected, you are responsible for contacting us, Kakashi-senpai."

"After all, I still have two lovely subordinates here. Yasuo also wanted to come over, but he is still a genin and cannot do S-level tasks alone." Kakashi still wore a mask, with his hands in his pockets and his wrists He was tied with a psychic talisman transformed into a lightning sword, and was wearing an ordinary Jounin uniform, and answered in a relaxed tone. It's just that his Sharingan, which is usually covered by his forehead protector, is now completely exposed.

Hearing this familiar name, the cold expression on Sasuke's face thawed slightly and asked: "How is he now?"

Kakashi said: "Ah, he is going to go to Mt. Miaomu to practice senjutsu later. I don't know how long it will take. I think it will be at least a year."

No one had any doubts about this estimate. It took Jiraiya five years to completely master the Sage mode, and Yasuo's one year is already a very optimistic estimate. As for the half month in the animation, it is probably not enough to adjust the mentality. When a ninja learns magic, it is a process of going from extreme movement to extreme stillness, and then integrating extreme stillness into extreme movement. It is not so easy to practice.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and the muscles in his mouth moved slightly. His right hand on the sword squeezed the hilt, and then released it as if nothing had happened. His reactions did not escape the eyes of the other two.

Still can't let go of the competition with Yasuo, they thought to themselves.

Kakashi ignored Sasuke's little thought, stood on the edge of the pit, looked down, and asked: "Is this where Obito stored Uchiha Madara's body?"

Itachi nodded slightly and said: "When I was within the Akatsuki organization, I followed Obito to this place. Although there has never been any human activity here, I still cannot rule out the possibility that there may be residual defensive forces."

Kakashi pulled his gloves and said leisurely: "That's why you want me to come over so that the Hokage can feel at ease."

Itachi smiled slightly and said, "This is also my sincerity to Lord Hokage."

Kakashi asked: "Are you sure our location has not been exposed?"

Itachi replied: "In order to keep this secret, the less people know about this kind of place, the better. It is impossible to have a dedicated person responsible for guarding it."

Sasuke interrupted them coldly: "How long do you want to chat?"

Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, flipped his right wrist, held the short sword, and then formed seals with both hands, summoning four shadow clones, transporting chakra to the soles of his feet, adsorbing the rocks, and slowly descending along the pit wall.

More than ten minutes later, a sound of metal colliding and rubbing came from the bottom of the pit. The sound lasted for about a minute, and then fell into silence. Kakashi received the message after the shadow clone was released and said: "There are a few dolls powered by chakra, which are not particularly difficult to deal with. There should be nothing else down there." After saying that, he took the lead from the rock wall. Went on. Itachi and Sasuke looked at each other and followed closely behind Kakashi.

As he went deeper, Sasuke discovered that the fog that seemed to cover the entire pit from above was actually only a thin layer. But for some reason, he felt that the air on both sides of the mist seemed a little different.

"It's a matter of humidity. The air below is much drier than above. The layer of fog just now should be formed by extracting moisture from the air in the pit. The Akatsuki organization has mastered many secret technologies." Kakashi explained to Sasuke confused.

The three of them were exchanging the latest information as they hurried on. A few minutes later, they landed firmly on the ground and saw the puppet that had fought fiercely with Kakashi's shadow clone before.

"My shadow clone has just been checked. There is no detection pinhole camera or chakra probe on the doll. These dolls should only be set up to resist unexpected intruders." Kakashi said calmly.

Itachi looked at the long and narrow passage in front of everyone, which still had bright fluorescent lights, and whispered: "The energy supply system has not stopped operating, and the defense measures inside are probably active. Seniors, please be careful."

Kakashi said "Hmm", held the short sword in his hand, and walked directly in front of the team; Sasuke was separated from him by a safe distance. When ninjas perform team reconnaissance and exploration missions, they should not stand too close to avoid being caught in one surprise attack. , walking in the team; Itachi was responsible for the rear to guard against sneak attacks. Being protected between two people made the arrogant Sasuke very annoyed, but when he thought that he might be able to find the way Madara had extended his life and provide valuable reference for Itachi's condition, he pressed his button. Unhappily, he followed Kakashi step by step with a cold face.

The three of them walked down the passage without any obstruction, which seemed to confirm Kakashi's previous judgment. But the more this happened, the less they dared to take it lightly. Kakashi even opened the three magatama sharingan eyes to observe possible abnormalities in the surrounding environment.

Fortunately, their caution was not confirmed by reality. At the end of the passage is a laboratory transformed from a naturally formed cave. There are spherical glass cabins containing biological tissues, control platforms shining with various colors of light, and instruments of various shapes and unknown purposes. Under the high-illumination fluorescent lights, not even a shadow is left on the ground.

"Do you know how to operate these instruments?" Kakashi asked in a bored manner.

"Well, there are many similar things in Orochimaru's laboratory." Itachi replied, created a shadow clone, typed a few keys on the operating terminal of the control platform, stared at the screen for a while, and said: "This is Akatsuki's secret biological laboratory, and Madara's body is indeed stored here. System records also show that there is an unknown seal on Madara's body, but their research has not made any practical progress. "

"Then back up the data here first, and then open it." Kakashi was mid-sentence when he suddenly stopped talking.

He saw Sasuke covering his chest in pain with his left hand, and suddenly collapsed to the ground. In Kakashi's three magatama sharingan eyes, he could clearly see a purple flame burning in his heart.

Chakra rioted, and Kakashi made his own judgment instantly.

"Attention Zenith" Sasuke suppressed the strong burning sensation in his heart and yelled at the other two people.

Immediately afterwards, a black tentacle burst open the ceiling of the laboratory, and attacked Sasuke amidst the flying masonry and dust.

As two long-established elite jounin, Kakashi and Itachi naturally have extraordinary reaction speeds. In the midst of the lightning, Kakashi turned around gracefully, guarding Sasuke behind him. He formed a seal with one hand in his left hand and threw a kunai wrapped in lightning; blue chakra flames burned on the short knife in his right hand, facing him. The tentacles split out. Itachi quickly formed five seals, sprayed out a blazing fireball from his mouth, and threw several shurikens towards the fireball with his left hand. The shurikens were wrapped in flames and spread out, but followed an arc trajectory and converged at The base of the tentacle.

"Raikiri Kunai Thrust"

"Fire escape Impatiens flower claw red"

The tentacle was cut into pieces with the cooperation of the two. The part closest to Sasuke was split by Kakashi's blade. The two broken parts destroyed the surrounding experimental equipment like bomb fragments.

The seemingly effective attack did not make them breathe a sigh of relief, because a figure wearing a white robe was slowly descending from the hole in the ceiling. His eyes showed growth ring-like patterns, and there were black tentacles squirming around his heart at the chest, which made the three of them feel sick.

"Uchiha Madara." Kakashi said a name coldly.

"Hahahaha, Indra actually took the initiative to come here and throw himself into the trap. It really took no effort to get here." The long-haired old man who looked like Uchiha Madara said with a strange smile.

Kakashi secretly said something bad, put his hands on the backs of Itachi and Sasuke, and prepared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape from here, but found that the technique had no effect. Kakashi sensed that the surrounding space seemed to be shielded by an invisible force field.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to use space magic. But it's not that easy for a mouse to get rid of the control of a cat. I just want him. You two can leave now." Madara pointed at Sasuke and said arrogantly. The other two said.
