Konoha starts from the root

Back in time a few minutes ago.

Outside the base, Tenzo arrived with a dozen ANBU ninjas.

He had just completed the tactical arrangement and had not waited for the action to begin.

One of the sensing ninjas suddenly said: "Captain, there are violent chakra fluctuations there."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger in the direction of the base.

After Tianzang heard this, he immediately brought people closer.

However, before they could enter the base, huge ice cones pierced out from the ground, completely covering the surrounding one kilometer area.

Viewed from above, it looks like a huge ice flower is blooming here.

Wisps of sunlight shine through the gaps in the leaves and shine on these ice cones, emitting a dazzling light.

The dozen ANBU ninjas who had escaped the ice cones stopped one after another and scanned their surroundings warily.

"Captain, this should be caused by the blood succession limit awakening going out of control." The well-informed Xiang broke the calm.

After Tianzang heard this and thought for a moment, he said: "The plan remains unchanged, continue to move forward, and be careful."

After that, he walked into the base immediately.

The dozen ANBU followed in groups of four.

After entering the base, they felt as if they had entered an ice crystal jungle, with ice cones several meters high everywhere.

As planned, they began to search separately.

About half an hour later, everyone arrived at the fourth underground floor, where the former radiation laboratory was.

Tianzang looked at the people who returned empty-handed. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still asked as usual: "Did you find anything?"

"Reporting to the captain, our team found traces of a large number of people living on the second floor, but the latest traces were also five days ago." one of them reported.

Tianzang nodded when he heard this. If nothing unexpected happened, the second floor should be where the prisoners sent by Root were kept.

Then another person stepped forward and said: "Report to the captain, our team found a laboratory and an infirmary on the third floor, but the contents were all emptied not long ago. In addition, we also found There were two bedrooms, and judging from the traces, one of them should belong to a young girl."

Tianzang was stunned when he heard this: "Are you sure?"

The man replied seriously: "I'm sure this is a girl's bedroom, captain. Although there are no decorations in it, you can still tell from some small details."

This reminded Tenzo of Tanigawa Shuhei's words. According to his account, he saw two people after entering the base, and there were two bedrooms here.

"Is this base led by the mysterious Bai Ye and this little girl?"

After thinking for a moment, Tenzo asked the four ninjas who were inspecting the ruins of the radiation laboratory: "Did you find anything?"

After hearing this, one of them stood up and said: "After preliminary inspection, I think there should have been a very complicated sealing barrier here."

"Sealing enchantment?"

"That's right, it's the sealing barrier."

"Do you know what it does?"

The ninja shook his head and said: "The buildings here have collapsed, so it is difficult to restore the sealing barrier."

When it comes to things like seals, there are often mistakes that can be made by a thousand miles.

What's more, this sealing barrier is so complex that it is basically impossible to restore it, and its function is of course unknown.

Then, Tianzang pointed to the center of the ice pick and said to one person: "Jaw, track the smell here."

The ninja codenamed Jaw immediately stepped forward, bit his thumb, formed seals with his hands in the order of Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei, then pressed them on the ground, and the psychic technique appeared.

The next moment, a ninja dog half as tall as a man appeared.

"Jia, what do you want from me?"

Jaw pointed to where Bai Ye was sitting before and said, "Haji, track the smell there."

The ninja dog named Haji immediately stepped forward after hearing the words. After sniffing carefully, he raised his head and looked around.

After a moment, he shook the dog's head and said, "Besides you, there are two other people's scents here. The strange thing is that both of these scents disappeared here."

Hearing this, Tianzang asked, "What do you mean by disappearing?"

Haji glanced at him and said: "There are two most likely possibilities for this situation. One is that these two people were taken away by someone using counter-spiritual techniques, and the other is that these two people used time and space ninjutsu to leave. .”

"Isn't it possible that they used some method to cover up the smell?" Tianzang asked again.

Haji explained: "The smell here is very fresh, which means that the person has just left. No matter how they cover it up, they will leave traces. But now I can't smell the other person's scent at all, so this possibility There’s very little sex.”

After listening to its explanation, Tianzang also agreed with its guess.

However, he preferred the time and space ninjutsu to the counter-spiritual technique, because the base was evacuated under their surveillance, so it was unlikely to be a counter-spiritual technique.

The thought that the enemy might have time and space ninjutsu gave Tenzo a headache. After all, time and space ninjutsu was notoriously difficult to deal with.

"Xiang, from now on, I'll leave this place to you."

Xiang heard the words and responded: "Yes, captain."

Tianzang told him a few more words and then left the base.

He must report what happened here to the Third Hokage as soon as possible.

······

An hour later, Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became more and more serious as he listened to Tenzo's report.

At first, when he heard that there was no one in the base, he felt a little happy for some reason. Maybe it was because he didn't have to deal with Danzo Shimura, an old friend.

However, when he heard that this incident also involved the loss of control of blood succession limits and the time and space ninjutsu, he could no longer sit still.

An ice escape blood successor limit is indeed nothing in Konoha, but the time and space ninjutsu is different.

Because this means that the other party can completely ignore Konoha's barrier system and come and go freely, and this will be a huge hidden danger.

"Looks like we have to talk to Danzo."

After having this idea, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Tenzo to leave first, and he went straight to the reception room.

This time he not only sent someone to notify Shimura Danzo, but also notified two consultants, Koharu and Mito Monobu, who were transferred to the dormitory.

About a quarter of an hour later, Koharu went to bed, and Mito Kaden and Shimura Danzo arrived here almost at the same time.

The four of them sat on two sofas facing each other.

Looking at the serious face of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kadeni, who had just sat down, spoke first: "Hiruzhan, what happened? Is it related to the ANBU's actions today?"

Although Mito Kaden was only a high-level consultant, he had some insiders to achieve this position. Therefore, he learned the news as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen mobilized ANBU on a large scale.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer his question, but looked at Danzo Shimura next to him and asked directly: "What is that base for?"

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo opened his eyes slightly and replied calmly: "That's just an ordinary training base."

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this and said angrily: "Then tell me, how do you explain the things above?"

As he spoke, he pushed over a document.
