While Iwagakure and Sunagakure were fighting openly and secretly, Konoha was also not at peace.

'Root' headquarters.

Danzo slowly put down the investigation report in his hand, a glint flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Call Ryoma to see me."

"Yes."

A voice without any emotion sounded.

Below, a root ninja kneeling on one knee responded and then disappeared from the spot.

A few minutes later, Ryoma Aburame arrived at Danzo's office.

"Lord Danzo, are you looking for me?"

Hearing this, Danzo Shimura nodded and said, "How is the study of the corpse given to you the day before yesterday going?"

"Parasites that are immune to that power have been cultivated."

As he said that, a parasitic bug emerged from Ryoma Aburame's fingertips, which looked no different from other parasitic bugs.

Don't underestimate this parasitic worm. It stands out from thousands of parasitic worms and has evolved immunity to the "Curse of Rot".

Looking at the parasitic bug on Aburame Ryoma's hand, Danzo's expression did not change at all, and he just asked lightly: "Do you remember Luo Lin?"

"Rollin?"

Hearing this name, Aburame Ryoma suddenly felt familiar. After a moment of recall, he knew the source of this familiarity.

A few months ago, he was ordered to investigate the unusual activities in Caoyin Village. After tracking the ANBU of Caoyin Village into the Dark Mountains, he got some information through insect detection, among which Luo Lin was mentioned. He seemed to be some kind of necromancer?

However, because Luo Lin had nothing to do with his mission, he did not delve into it in depth, and only mentioned it in the mission report.

Seeing Aburame Ryoma recalling it, Shimura Danzo continued: "That corpse was his handiwork. The recent situation in the Land of Rain was also affected by him. I want you to find him."

"Assassination?" Aburame Ryoma asked.

"No," Danzo shook his head and said, "He is not the point. I want you to find him because the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Iwagakure Village is likely to be with him."

"Is the target four tails?"

Aburame Ryoma nodded and said, "I understand."

······

Coincidentally, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen also put down an investigation report in his hand.

Seeing this, an ANBU ninja asked: "Sandaime-sama, do we want to take action?"

Indeed, now is a good opportunity. The Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki is probably still alive, and there is no one around to protect and monitor him.

If successfully captured, it will not only reduce the war potential of Iwagakure Village, but also enhance Konoha's strength. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, when he thought of the "corpse controller" mentioned in the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little uneasy.

There is no doubt that the person who can stir up the situation in the Kingdom of Rain is definitely not a simple person.

Although various investigations showed that the opponent suffered heavy losses after the battle with Iwagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen still did not want to take the risk.

After thinking for a long time, he handed the investigation report in his hand to the ANBU below and ordered: "Go to the base of 'Gen' and give the report to Elder Danzo. He knows what to do."

"Yes, the Third Generation!"

······

The disturbances from the outside world did not affect Luo Lin.

At this time, he was silently digesting this harvest.

Deep in the dark mountains.

In a cave, Luo Lin closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, obviously meditating.

However, his current meditation is different from before. The previous meditation was assisted by the system, but now he relies entirely on himself.

At first, Luo Lin was a little uncomfortable with it, but after a few days of trying, he got used to this way of meditation.

After fully absorbing the relevant knowledge of 'meditation', he finally knew what the meditation method he practiced was called.

"Dead Heart" is its name.

Without the constraints of the system, this advanced meditation method finally showed its superiority.

After Luo Lin's test, if he now enters a meditative state, his mana recovery speed will increase ten times, more than double the original rate.

In addition, every hour of meditation, his maximum mana will increase by 5 points, which is 3 points more than before. And unlike the skill period, he must meditate completely for it to be effective.

Now, even if his meditation is interrupted, his mana cap will increase accordingly.

There is no doubt that this will greatly increase his mana accumulation speed.

In the past few days alone, his mana limit has increased by more than 400 points, which is not unpleasant.

And this is just the beginning stage. When he becomes familiar with "Heart of Annihilation" and understands it more deeply, its effect will be enhanced.

In this way, it can be foreseen that his mana will no longer be as tense as before.

While meditating, Luo Lin suddenly opened his eyes. In his field of vision, a glimmer of light flew from outside the cave and penetrated directly into his body... +3120 experience points!

Luo Lin knew that this was the underworld warrior starting to carry out his order - hunting nearby animals.

After the level is upgraded to Lv50, the experience acquisition range will increase by 50 meters for each level. Now his level is Lv54, so the experience acquisition range is 700 meters in radius.

The Hades hunt those animals simply by bringing them within range.

When he issued this order, harvesting experience was only one aspect. More importantly, it was actually to prepare casting materials for his skeleton mage.

As a necromancer, he doesn't have many undead at his disposal, so he always feels uneasy. Now he urgently needs to raise an army of undead.

Fortunately, when he evacuated before, although he only hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, he still brought back the corpses of those rock ninjas.

In the past few days, he has summoned many skeleton mages.

As long as they have enough materials, it won't take long for them to summon thousands of bones and skeletons.

Of course, just having white bones and skeletons is definitely not enough. Luo Lin also needs more undead with potential, and to summon such undead, high-quality materials are indispensable.

The Iwa Ninja corpses he brought back were basically destroyed by the "Rot Curse" and obviously did not meet the requirements.

Then he would have to search for other materials.

However, after the previous battle, it was not suitable for him to appear in front of others in a short period of time, so the collection of materials could only be left to the Hades Warriors and Lao Zi.

As for the way to collect materials, it is very simple, that is to capture some high-level ninjas.

The current ninja world is very chaotic, and a missing ninja is nothing at all.

Without Lao Zi, Luo Lin really didn't feel confident sending the Hades Warrior out. Although its intelligence was not weaker than that of humans, its way of thinking was very different from that of ordinary people, and problems could easily arise.

But it was different with Lao Zi. Luo Lin directly asked him to take two Hades warriors into action. This configuration was enough to capture most jounin.

Luo Lin just needs to wait peacefully.
