Dancer of Konoha

The dark night merged with the gloomy forest, and dozens of afterimages flickered under the dim morning star.

"It looks like this is the last base."

Inuzuka Jaw frowned and looked at the roster in his hand, seeming to be thinking about this.

According to two people in the Hokage's office, there are definitely people hidden in the Root Base who don't exist on the roster.

However, two days have passed and they have inspected two of the three root bases without any problems.

"But that's the biggest problem"

In the silent darkness, the inaudible vibration of hidden wings sounded, and Inuzuka Jaw raised his head seriously and asked.

"Zhiwei, how's it going?"

Aburame Zhiwei put a parasitic insect that flew into his hand to his ear, as if he was listening to something, and nodded slightly.

"Senior Jaw, this is the main base of Root. The number of people accounts for half of the total number of people in Root. I have already informed you of the inventory. Please wait a moment."

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few people in your Aburame clan at the root."

Yamanaka Haiyi sighed with a complicated expression.

In the previous two bases, he had seen many tribesmen.

Those cold and numb faces made his heart tingle.

"Insects must adapt to various environments if they want to survive. This is the rule."

Aburame Zhiwei's tone seemed calm, but her words were full of helplessness.

"Stop complaining, don't forget that the roots are also a part of Konoha, get ready, people are coming."

Mixed breaths came from the ground. Inuzuka Jaw opened the root list in his hand and made a gesture to the top of his head.

"Anbu guys, it's time to get to work!"

A dozen ANBU hidden in the forest saw Inuzuka Jaw's gesture and skillfully dispersed around.

In just a few breaths, white eyes surrounded the entire base.

"Blind eyes!"

For a moment, the main underground root base was clearly visible in Anbu's field of vision.

Except for Shimura Danzo who was sitting on the bottom floor, all the root ninjas in this base were lining up and walking slowly to the ground.

"Roots, come here for an inventory."

Looking at the figures shooting out from the ground, Inuzuka Jaw skillfully used the secret sound transmission at the root.

He guided the root ninjas to line up towards him.

"Name or code name?"

"fall from the sky"

"Take off the mask."

"Reach out and check the palm prints."

Inuzuka Jaw conducts identity verification and registration.

Yamanaka Haiichi sensed whether the root ninja had hidden traces of using ninjutsu.

Aburame Shiwei marked each inspected root with the smell of parasites to prevent impostors.

Under the arrangement of Inuzuka Jaw, they had already inspected two bases and were extremely proficient in this process.

Before I knew it, the sun had reached its highest point.

However, Inuzuka's brows became more and more frowned.

Turning over the last two pages of the root roster, he looked at the last two people in front of him who were not wearing masks.

"You two, what are your names or code names?"

"Mountain Wind"

"Aburame Takes the Root"

"Reach out your hand and check your palm prints."

In the complicated eyes of Yamanaka Haiichi and Aburame Shimi.

The last two young Roots passed them by, returning to the Root base like strangers.

Seeing the Anbu who returned to him making a gesture indicating that everything was normal, Inuzuka Jaw stared at his feet and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the current results, there are no hidden personnel in the three root bases, and this thick root roster is useless.

It seems that the report can be submitted to the Hokage's office.

However, he always felt that something was wrong.

The investigation process was extremely smooth. These root ninjas even cooperated unexpectedly, and there was no inconsistency in the information.

This was simply impossible back then.

Inuzuka Jaw clearly knew what kind of temperament the Dark Ninja had.

After the investigation, if the Third Hokage hadn't suppressed and blocked Minato's Anbu, all of Minato's Anbu would have become the ones at the root.

The smoothness in front of him was like that of someone who wanted to quickly pass the inspection to prove something.

Or

"hide!"

Inuzuka Jaw seemed to have figured something out.

Looking at the nineteen Anbu of the Hyuga clan in front of him, he nodded thoughtfully.

There is absolutely no problem with the information of the two people sitting in the Hokage's office, so it's just that they are lying at the root!

The situation in front of him seems to have been anticipated by the Third Hokage.

"Senior Jaw, is the investigation over?"

As soon as Yamanaka Kai saw that Inuzukaja hadn't moved for a long time, he stepped forward and asked.

"No"

Inuzuka Jaw stared at the ground beneath his feet.

"The inventory has just begun."

The sun rises and the moon sets, and another day passes.

Under a forest filled with mist, the root ninjas in the training department were sweating profusely and practicing taijutsu.

Black Hoe Lei Ya patrolled back and forth among the crowd.

The effective attack methods in the genin stage are indeed limited, so in the blood mist, it is particularly important to have a stronger body and longer endurance, even if it means overdrawing one's potential.

The ninjas of Kirigakure never think about tomorrow, they only care about how to survive today.

Therefore, when encountering an opponent who is stronger than yourself, the longer you fight, the higher your chance of survival will be.

"It's so boring, Ranmaru."

At the corner of the high platform, Xianglin lay softly on the railing, like a hanging red salted fish.

"Why hasn't Lord Yanyan come back yet?"

"boring?"

A childish voice sounded softly.

"Not at all. I'm very happy just to be able to look at Lei Ya all the time."

"Eh? You are really easily satisfied."

A trace of envy for Ranmaru flashed in Xianglin's unfocused eyes.

"I really want to just look at Lord Yanyan like this, keep looking at him."

Just when both of them were immersed in their own world, the strange movement from Kagura's inner eye brought Xianglin back to reality.

"You are indeed worthy of being Lord Yanyan."

Xianglin laughed softly and turned to look at Ranmaru.

"It looks like your happy time is going to be interrupted."

"No, Sister Xianglin"

In the darkness, the faint red light was still staring at Black Hoe Lei Ya who was shouting curses in the audience.

"As early as the day Lord Yanyan left, I was ready."

The originally tender and tender voice became cold and gloomy at this moment.

"No matter who it is, don't bother us."

The dark red chakra gradually overflowed from the corner of Ranmaru's eyes, like a faint red mist, which had already spread to every corner of the entire training base.

Under the sunshine, the mist in the forest has dispersed for a long time, and the air is filled with the aroma of moist green grass.

"Sand! Sand! Sand!"

Outside the dense bushes, the sound of rubbing the tree crowns sounded in an orderly manner, and black shadows suddenly appeared on the towering branches.

"Master Jaw, this is it."

"Well, I'll leave it to you."

A tired voice sounded, and Inuzuka Jaw's eyes were full of confusion at the moment.

"Am I wrong?"

In one day and one night, relying on the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan and the experience of Inuzuka Jaw, everyone searched most of Konoha Village.

No matter whether it was an abandoned base or a hidden research institute, nothing was found.

The cooperation of the root ninja before, now seems a bit like someone who is too lazy to explain and does not want to tangle with him.

"impossible"

The corners of Inuzuka's jaw tightened together.

The Hokage's information was not wrong. When that special root ninja appeared, many jonin saw it with their own eyes.

It is even more impossible to hide outside the village. There are hundreds of ninjas coming and going, and the barrier team will never be aware of it.

Those people must be in the village!

At this moment

A cold voice came from behind Inuzuka Jaw.

"Master Jaw, everything is normal."

"Day Captain"

Inuzuka Jaw looked around and suddenly asked:

"I don't have much impression of this base. Is it newly built?"
