Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Chapter 436: The Art of Spores

"What exactly is going on"

Bai Mingyu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a beat.

This man's appearance is very unfamiliar. Bai Mingyu is sure that he does not recognize him, but

From him, Bai Mingyu felt a faint chakra aura, which seemed vaguely familiar.

With some doubts, Bai Mingyu took a few steps forward, and soon saw another glass water tank with the same style, two or three meters high. Also soaked in it was a strong man with naked body, tall and tall appearance. The previous person was completely different, but he was in much the same state, with a strange green color on his pale face.

Similar scenes extend forward densely. I don’t know how many such water tanks there are in total, connected in a long row close to the wall.

"these people"

Bai Mingyu stopped.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and expanded his perception to the surroundings. In his consciousness, he felt the breath of chakra beating slightly, as if a little faint fire light lit up in the dark night. , and then quickly spread towards the surroundings, forming a large ocean-like starlight.

suddenly,

A feeling of being spied on arises spontaneously.

Bai Mingyu vaguely felt a pair of invisible hands opening up in the void, grabbing at himself, and quickly took back all the diffused feelings.

"Have you been noticed?"

This is not surprising.

A powerful perceptive ninja can indeed quickly detect something strange when someone uses ninjutsu to sense it. And if Bai Mingyu's judgment is correct, the person who just noticed his existence has a sensory ninjutsu that is second to none in the entire ninja world.

White absolutely.

Can't go wrong.

That somewhat familiar chakra aura, as well as the people in these glass water tanks, the dense layer of spore-like tissue structure on the surface of their skin that can easily be ignored without careful observation, are clearly unique to Bai Zetsu. symbols of

That is

These people soaking in the water tank are all people who were planted with the spore technique by Bai Jue.

After confirming this, the situation has become very clear. This stronghold is not an underground shelter built by Cardo for himself at all, but a secret stronghold secretly supported by the Akatsuki organization. As for what is hidden in all this It is unknown whether the main messenger behind the scenes is Payne's Six Paths, or Obito and Black Zetsu. Based on Bai Mingyu's understanding of the inside of the Akatsuki organization, the relationship between Obito and Payne is not as good as it seems on the surface.

After all, the purpose of the two is that one is for peace, and the other is to destroy and reshape the world. Although they temporarily join forces because they use the same means, in essence, Nagato and Obito have completely different ideas.

It is entirely possible for Obito to secretly build forces without telling Nagato.

In an instant, countless complicated thoughts flashed through Bai Mingyu's mind.

But now is not the time to get to the bottom of things.

Bai Jue had discovered his existence just now. Although Bai Mingyu reacted in an instant and avoided being identified by Bai Jue, the other party would definitely take follow-up actions to eliminate this uninvited person. outsider.

As if to confirm Bai Mingyu's thoughts,

Soon, the figures above the stronghold began to shake, turbulent voices and footsteps appeared in the criss-crossing corridors, and the sound of shoe soles stepping on iron plates broke the surrounding silence. At the same time, several water tanks behind Bai Mingyu began to become restless. The naked men standing inside swayed slightly, making bursts of splashing water, and several people seemed to be opening their eyes.

"Someone is coming"

A rush of footsteps appeared in the corridor outside, as if someone was rushing in this direction.

Bai Mingyu's expression changed slightly, he glanced around, and then quickly ran towards the corridor.

While passing through a certain glass water tank, I glanced at a slightly rough stone slab on the wall between the two water tanks. The color and size of this stone slab were not significantly different from other surrounding stone slabs. However, the edges around the stone slab showed slight wear and tear, as if they had been lifted up frequently.

Seeing this, Bai Mingyu stopped abruptly.

After observing carefully for a few times, he stretched out his right hand, inserted his fingertips into the gaps between the stone slabs with a slight force, and then with a sudden force, he lifted up the entire stone slab, revealing a dark secret passage behind it.

""

It looks like a secret passage

However, there was a dark scene inside the secret passage, and I didn’t know where it led.

Bai Mingyu hesitated for a moment and jumped in. At the same time, he covered the stone slab behind his back with his backhand. He first checked the surrounding situation and then looked out through the gap in the stone slab.

A pair of feet soon appeared in his sight.

only one person.

Moreover, the visitor seemed to be running away from something, with no intention of stopping to investigate carefully. There was almost no pause in his footsteps while running. When passing this stone slab, he suddenly braked suddenly, and then heard a small click. The visitor pushed aside the stone slab and quickly rushed into the secret passage.

then

"Um"

When their eyes met, Bai Mingyu and the visitor were stunned for a moment.

The other party obviously did not expect that there would be anyone else behind the stone slab.

Bai Mingyu was also a little surprised at the opponent's proficiency in making these moves.

After hesitating for less than half a second, Bai Mingyu suddenly stood up and pointed a knife, intending to knock the other party unconscious first regardless of the situation, otherwise if the other party shouted out at this time, he would inevitably be attacked. Attracted a lot of people's attention. Although he didn't mind a fight here, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself before the matter was investigated clearly.

However, the visitor's reaction was not slow.

Almost at the same time that Bai Mingyu stood up, the person raised his arms in front of him to protect him, and suddenly jumped forward.

His left hand stretched out like lightning and caught the hand knife that Bai Mingyu swung out.

His right arm suddenly bent into an elbow strike position, and he hit Bai Mingyu's shoulder with all his strength.

嘭

a muffled sound

A powerful and heavy elbow hit Bai Mingyu's shoulder. A small piece of the hard ice armor broke into pieces, and white ice shards flew everywhere. Taking advantage of the opponent's force of pressing down, Bai Mingyu immediately lowered his body and placed the palm of his left hand on As soon as he was on the ground, his whole body hung upside down like a top, and his legs kicked hard at the visitor's chest.

The latter grunted, but instead of retreating, he advanced, knocking Bai Mingyu to the ground with a flying swoop, and the two of them turned into rolling gourds in the secret passage.

All these actions take place in the blink of an eye.

Just when Bai Mingyu stood up and was about to continue taking action, the person suddenly made a stop gesture and lowered his voice: "Wait, don't take action yet, it's me."
