Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Forest of death.

The stars are lonely, the moon is like water, and the moonlight escaping from the gaps in the leaves falls playfully on the dark forest.

Ganqiao and Shisui stopped on the crown of a big tree, hiding their figures with the help of dense leaves.

"Senior Ganqiao, the entrance to Orochimaru's research base is right there."

Zhisui pointed to the roots of a big tree where ten people were hugging each other, and whispered.

Qianqiao nodded and looked around. There were only tree roots and no so-called entrance at all. It was obvious that Orochimaru had arranged a barrier to hide the entrance.

It would be nice if the Byakugan were there. Byakugan can see through and see chakra clearly.

Qian Qiao glanced at Zhi Shui next to him. Zhi Shui was there. He couldn't channel the bleeding successor clone body.

But it was impossible to place the root ninja in Orochimaru's research base without destroying the barrier and alerting Orochimaru.

Ganqiao rolled his eyes and whispered: "A secret experimental base like this cannot have only one entrance and exit. The cunning rabbit has three caves. Orochimaru must have prepared other intersections."

"We'll search separately, you look here, I'll look here."

Qian Qiao pointed to the left and right, Zhishui searched the left, and he searched the right.

"By the way, be careful. Orochimaru must have placed a lot of barriers and traps nearby. Once you touch it and alert Orochimaru, the plan will fail," Qianqiao added.

"Ah."

Zhisui nodded and quietly explored to the left.

Qianqiao glanced at Terai who was leaning on the tree trunk, raised his hand, bent his fingers, and condensed Shukaku's chakra between his fingers. Then, he raised his hand and gently pressed on Terai's abdomen.

"Magnetic Escape.Sealing Technique!"

As the low voice fell, purple runes appeared on Terai's face.

After making sure that Terai was sealed, Gan Qiao felt relieved and took out the scroll from the ninja tool bag behind his back, unfolded the scroll, formed seals with his hands, and used the psychic technique.

He took out the Byakugan sealed inside, hesitated slightly, and finally ate the Byakugan.

After chewing a few times, Qianqiao swallowed it immediately.

Bloodline limited clones can only transplant one Byakugan, leaving the other Byakugan alone, and simply eat it and fuse it.

After a while.

Qian Qiao blinked his right eye, the original black pupil turned white, and his left eye turned white.

Hands knotted.

"White eyes, open!"

As a low voice sounded, the veins around the orbit of Qian Qiao's left eye were exposed, chakra poured into his left eye, and his white eyes opened.

At first, Gan Qiao was still a little uncomfortable with it, but after all, he had used it many times on blood successor clones, and Gan Qiao quickly became proficient in controlling the Byakugan.

Under the perspective of Byakugan, Qian Qiao could clearly see the layout of the barrier ahead.

This is a barrier that has a simple covering and reminder function. As long as you see the layout of the barrier clearly, it is not difficult to pass through the barrier without disturbing the barrier.

Gan Qiao has done some research on the barrier, so he can easily find the weak point of the barrier. As long as he enters from there, he can avoid the barrier.

Next, Ganqiao waited quietly for Zhishui to come back. Just as he expected, Zhishui's efforts were in vain.

Orochimaru dared to build such an experimental base in the village. He must have gone through complete preparations. It would not be that simple to break through.

Under the power of Byakugan, Qianqiao and Zhisui took the sealed Terai, passed through the barrier without any danger, and entered the base.

Standing in the deep and dark passage, Qian Qiao looked around. Under his white eyes, the structure of the entire secret research base was clearly visible.

This research base is very large, with several underground floors. The really important parts are all on the underground floors. There is not much on the first floor, only a few rooms.

Orochimaru actually built such a research base inside Konoha Village. Qianqiao was quite surprised. Orochimaru alone would definitely not be able to do it. Danzo must have put a lot of effort into it.

Although Orochimaru was not in the experimental base, Ganqiao did not explore too much and hid the sealed Terai in an unnoticed corner. Ganqiao and Shisui left the experimental base.

Outside the base, Shisui asked: "We have placed the root ninja in the base, what should we do next, senior Qianqiao?"

"We still need an audience."

Gan Qiao said something meaningful, and then whispered a few instructions in Zhisui's ear.

Shisui's eyes brightened slightly, and he marveled at the ingenuity of Ganqiao's plan, using others to do it.

……

Kakashi walked alone on the late night streets, slowly heading towards the seventh training ground.

Seeing that the shops on both sides of the road were about to close, Kakashi couldn't help but complain.

The same goes for Qian Qiao, but he chose the seventh training ground at such a late hour.

Kakashi was discharged from the hospital two days ago, but since Kakashi had just been discharged, Minato did not give Kakashi any tasks.

These days, the only thing Kakashi does besides eating is sleeping.

Just half an hour ago, Qianqiao found Kakashi and said that he wanted to gain more power and went to the seventh training ground to find him.

Kakashi didn't hesitate at all and immediately set off for the seventh training ground.

These words were told to him by Gan Qiao as early as half a month ago when he was rescued, and he also gave the answer.

To this day, Kakashi still can't forget Lin's death and is often woken up in the middle of the night.

In order to find the mastermind behind the scenes and avenge Lin, he must be stronger.

Kakashi is very curious about what kind of confidence Ganqiao has in giving him the power to become stronger.

Just when Kakashi was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a sharp chill. Kakashi's face changed slightly, his body tensed, and he looked in the direction of the cold.

This is an alley. There are no street lights in the alley. It is pitch black and you can't see your fingers.

Kakashi secretly held the kunai and whispered: "Who is it?"

The moment the words fell, a black shadow emerged from the black mist and faced Kakashi with a slap in the face.

"So fast!"

Kakashi was amazed in his heart and avoided the opponent's attack with his strong body. At the same time, he stabbed the opponent with the kunai in his hand.

File clang!

There was a piercing sound of metal clashing, and flames shot out.

Kakashi felt a force like a tide coming from his arm, and his body flew out uncontrollably. His feet slid for several meters before he stabilized his body.

Kakashi, who had just stabilized his body, had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when the opponent quickly approached him. Amidst the sharp sound of breaking through the air, a dagger with a cold light stabbed towards Kakashi's front door.

Kakashi subconsciously raised his arm across his chest to block the opponent's attack.

But at this moment, the opponent suddenly changed his move, letting go of the kunai in his hand, bending his fingers like eagle talons, and thrust towards Kakashi's left eye which was blocked by the forehead protector.

Kakashi reacted quickly, raising his right foot in a flash and knocking the opponent back with a powerful knee strike.

Kakashi stared sharply at his attacker, who wore a wooden mask and was shrouded in black clothes, making it difficult to see his appearance and figure.

But one thing is certain, the opponent's purpose of attacking him is for the Sharingan in his left eye.

Kakashi's mind quickly linked the disappearances of ninjas that had caused panic in the village during this period. It seemed that he was the murderer who had recently captured those ninjas.

Shisui suppressed the qi and blood boiling in his chest, and the feeling of Kakashi's knee just now was not pleasant at all.

That's right!

The person who attacked Kakashi was Shisui!
