Chapter 141 The Storm Brought by the Wood Release Ninja
forest.
In the damp and dim light, a figure was hidden behind a big tree.
"There is the chakra of the patrol ninja team. There is a barrier in the underground base that cannot be sensed, but there has been no chakra of Orochimaru and Danzo entering or leaving here for half a month."
After staring for half a month, Uchiha Ye, who was hiding behind the tree, slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
The forbidden research base is also valuable, so naturally someone needs to stand guard in secret, waiting to be restarted in the future. After all, Danzo's desire for Wood Release and Sharingan is deep in his bones.
"Perception ability is really useful. No wonder it is so precious in the ninja world."
There is no need to go deep, just peripheral perception is enough to know some intelligence. If there is a perceptive ninja in the ninja team, it is equivalent to having an extra intelligence radar.
"I have been discussing the development of ninjutsu with Orochimaru for the past two years, and the specific location has long been determined. The underground barrier here should be the Root's Wood Release research base, and it is also the birthplace of the future Wood Release Ninja Yamato."
With a smile on Uchiha Ye's face, after he had investigated thoroughly, he did not choose to go in now. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the sky through the gaps between the leaves, then squinted his eyes.
"It looks like it's going to rain tonight. One Wood Release Ninja Yamato is not enough. We need to add some fire to maximize its value."
Maximize value, otherwise it would be a waste.
……
Under the night sky, a drizzle of rain fell, adding a touch of coolness to the autumn wind.
"who!"
With a cry of surprise, the pupils of the two Root Ninjas trembled in an instant, and their bodies became stiff and their eyes became dull under the illusion.
"Haha, the roots really are everywhere."
A dark shadow appeared behind the two of them, and Uchiha Ye's cold smile slowly emerged in the rain. He let the raindrops wet his clothes and slowly walked between the two Root ninjas.
Pfft!
In the dark forest, Uchiha Yai was disappearing deeper into the cave, while the two Root ninjas outside seemed to see nothing.
"Sure enough, the sealing technique is valued by the five major ninja villages. In addition to having the power to seal the tailed beasts, it also has its own unique features."
Looking at the iron gate, Uchiha Ye smiled. If it was an ordinary place, he could sneak in easily, but under the protection of the barrier, not only could he not detect the situation inside, he would also be discovered immediately once he sneaked in.
"But there's no need to bother with that now."
As the cold light flashed, a sound of cutting was heard in the air, and the heavy iron door with the seal on it was cut directly by Kusanagi's sword.
With a loud bang, pieces of the heavy iron door fell to the ground, revealing everything inside the laboratory.
"This... is the Wood Release Experiment Base!"
After seeing the rows of huge jars emitting green fluorescence, Uchiha Ye showed a rare look of shock. He could clearly feel some kind of power inside these jars flashing green fluorescence!
"This is! The First Hokage's Wood Release Cell!"
Inside the base, most of the tanks had automatically cut off their power supplies after losing their life force. Only seven tanks were left, and the life force in five of them was very weak.
"That is to say, in the two most stable jars, one is Yamato, and the other is the last partner in Yamato's life that died."
Walking in the dim experimental base, Uchiha Ye's three magatama opened and he could see everything here clearly, even some kind of chakra flow.
"What is this information!?"
When he saw the information on the wall at the door, Uchiha Ye's pupils shrank, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.
"I see. If Orochimaru's experiment failed, then of course all of the test subjects would have lost their life characteristics. If they were to abandon this place, there would be no test subjects with life characteristics left. This doesn't make sense.
This means that Orochimaru's experiment failed, but when this place was shut down, the energy in these nutrient tanks was not wasted, so this is the last batch..."
After understanding all this, Uchiha Ye slowly stretched out his hand and aimed at the remaining five nutrient tanks that would not last long.
Forbidden Technique: Ghost Sprout
A prismatic mark appeared on the palm of his hand, greedily absorbing the first Hokage's Wood Release energy. As this powerful force in the bodies of these five children receded like a tide, their life breath gradually began to stabilize.
At the same time, the moment the seal of the Root experimental base was broken, a ninja from the barrier class at the Root base far away in the village suddenly opened his eyes.
"Oh no! One of our seals outside the village has been broken!"
"Quickly inform Lord Danzo!"
"Yes!"
Just when there were unusual movements in the Root, several spies and ninjas from the Iwagakure and Kumogakure gathered in the forest of Konoha Village.
"According to intelligence, anomalies have been discovered in this area recently. It is very likely that Konoha's secrets are held here."
"Damn it, it's such a bad luck to have such a rainy day."
Outside the research base, two spies from the two ninja villages strangely bumped into each other, and at this moment, both sides' faces changed drastically.
"We are all spies, don't do anything yet!"
"Yes, let's go down and see if there is any important information. After all, we have a common enemy."
The Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja stared at each other warily, but following the signal from the exclamation of the person who went down first, their faces changed and they rushed down hurriedly.
"Found something!"
Whoosh, several spy figures appeared in the experimental base where the glass container was broken and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere. Their faces changed drastically and they were terrified.
"This is!"
"Oh no! Konoha is secretly experimenting with the Wood Release Plan!"
After seeing an incomplete report, one of the Rock Ninjas exclaimed in surprise. At this moment, after receiving a signal from their companions who were on guard in the forest outside, their faces changed drastically.
"Damn it, Konoha's Root is coming! We must pass the information back to the village!"
"Even if I die! My body cannot fall into the hands of the roots!"
At this moment they had already put their own lives at risk, and the first thing they did was to report back the intelligence they had discovered.
Konoha is conducting human experiments! And it's Wood Release!
When the Root ninjas discovered that it was a spy from an enemy country, they all showed indifferent expressions and took action without any hesitation.
Although their abilities as spies may not be the strongest, their character is definitely good enough. After seeing that it was the Root, they frantically put detonating talismans on their bodies.
Even if they die, their bodies cannot fall into the hands of Konoha's roots, otherwise these people will be able to extract a lot of information from their bodies.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and finally the experimental base was destroyed by detonating tags as various ninjutsu collided and spies from both countries fought desperately.
With the rumbling sound of the detonator, the area collapsed, and the dust that had just been stirred up was quickly extinguished by the rain.
However, in the distance of the forest, Uchiha Ye was covered in wounds. He looked back in a miserable state at the rumbling sound coming from behind him, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Let the storm be even more violent this time!"
The Third Ninja World War was definitely the most brutal battle Konoha had ever fought. Even the First Ninja World War was not as brutal as this.
Although there is only limited information, it is enough. The recorded Battle of Mount Kikyo was launched by the Cloud Ninja and the Sand Ninja. You must know that Mount Kikyo is located in the territory of the Land of Fire.
In other words, the Third World War had already reached the homeland, otherwise the first Hokage would not have resigned.
But this is not enough! He wants to be more aggressive! "Ahem...but this injury is really serious!"
Suddenly, he coughed from his lungs and a mouthful of blood flowed out. Uchiha Ye showed a trace of pain, and while enduring the pain on his body, he continued to flee in panic into the distance.
At this time, he had a fatal wound on his body, especially in the abdomen.
On the tree trunk in the distance, a white head slowly rose up, looking at the fleeing Uchiha Ye in astonishment.
"Injured? And it's obvious that it's the first generation of Wood Release Cells. What did they find at the Root research base?"
Bai Zetsu was confused. Because of the barrier and the fact that he was afraid of being discovered by Uchiha Ye if he got too close, he never expected that after an explosion at the experimental base, Uchiha Ye who escaped was seriously injured.
"No, we must tell Madara-sama."
As the hoarse voice of White Zetsu slowly echoed, he sneaked in again and followed Uchiha Ye from a distance.
At the same time, Uchiha Ye, who was fleeing in front, curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile. The stage is ready, waiting for you to go on stage.
This was something he had carefully prepared, and this time it was an important step in bringing all his secrets to the forefront.
……
Konoha.
Inside the Wood Release Experiment Base, roars of pain and collapse were heard from several rooms, while Tsunade outside the glass watched it all in silence.
"This is the sixth batch, and none of them succeeded. Do you still want to continue?"
As Tsunade spoke in her hoarse voice, a thirty-year-old Senju Uchiha ninja behind her went from anticipation and excitement at the beginning of the first batch of experiments to nervousness and fear now.
Witnessing his companions’ bodies being torn apart by trees in agony, with blood splattered everywhere, he began to feel hesitant.
"Lady Tsunade! Me!"
This middle-aged jonin no longer had the arrogance he had before, and was only filled with anxiety and helplessness.
Is there any point in this experiment of constant failure? Will he still want to take this last chance?
"It's not shameful to give up. Think about your child who has just entered the ninja school. Don't lose your mind for the so-called glory. Instead of going to die, you might as well teach your offspring well.
You still have a long life ahead of you, maybe you will see Wood Release appear again in the Senju clan in the future..."
Tsunade's low voice echoed, constantly undermining his fighting spirit. At this moment, Danzo Shimura, who was also observing the situation in the laboratory, showed anxiety after seeing this scene.
"Tsunade! We have come this far. We have collected countless valuable experiences from the sacrifices of six consecutive batches, and the dosage is constantly being adjusted.
The longest time in the first batch was three hours, and now the shortest time in the sixth batch can last five hours. This is just a necessary sacrifice on the road to success..."
When Shimura Danzo spoke angrily, Tsunade showed an angry look and shouted directly:
"Shut up! Open your dog eyes and look, how many ninjas are there in the Senju clan now!? Twenty years ago, when you old guys came to power, the Senju clan was led by my second grandfather!
At that time, there were over a hundred Senju ninjas, but what about now? After this bullshit experiment, there are only about ten jonin left in the entire village!"
"Wood Release is not just something you want, we Senju also want it! But I've said this experiment is immature! Imperfect! It's a massacre! Two years! You want me to conquer the bloodline barrier that hasn't been completed in the ninja world for thousands of years in two years..."
Tsunade pointed at Danzo Shimura angrily and shouted, "She is the best medical ninja in the ninja world, but she is not a god!"
Bloodline limit, the ninja world has not developed anything in thousands of years, how could she have such great ability.
Even if you really want to gamble on the odds, they have to be within a certain range!
"Master Danzo, something bad has happened!"
At this moment, a Root ninja suddenly appeared and secretly handed the information to Danzo. Immediately, Danzo Shimura's pupils shrank and his face turned ashen.
"You're a bunch of rubbish! The enemy's spies have already reached the outskirts of Konoha Village, and you just discovered them. Catch them! I want them alive!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the helpless and furious Shimura Danzo, Tsunade sneered, turned around and left. As for the last member of the tribe, she had said what she should say, and the rest of the choice was up to him.
"You will be the next one to go. Death is not a terrible thing, but I don't see any hope in the data report. Rather than gambling on that one in ten thousand chance, it is better to survive first. Your child still needs to be taught..."
The door slammed shut and Tsunade left the experimental base indifferently.
While walking on the streets of Konoha, the drizzle was getting heavier, making Tsunade frown and prepare to return to the family quickly, when suddenly a live slug appeared on her shoulder.
"Lady Tsunade, something bad has happened. Ye-kun has been seriously injured and is now fleeing..."
"what!"
The sudden information from the living slug shocked Tsunade, "How is this possible! With this kid's current strength, how could anyone seriously injure him!"
"And he also has Flying Thunder God..."
However, before Tsunade finished her words, her pupils suddenly shrank and she saw the blood of the living slug on her shoulder. She could clearly feel a familiar power in the blood.
Wood Release! Her grandfather's power!
"Damn it! What on earth is this brat doing? What on earth is he hiding from me?"
Flying Thunder God is useless, so there is only one thing, that is, it cannot be used!
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Take me there quickly... Meanwhile, go inform Kushina and tell her to... sneak out of the village secretly and don't let anyone else find out..."
Tsunade was a little panicked at this moment, but her years of experience as a ninja told her that she had to calm down.
There are obvious Wood Release cells in the blood left by this kid Uchiha Ye, there is definitely something wrong!
"Uchiha Ye!"
Tsunade was traveling in the rain and recalled scenes in her mind angrily, but when she remembered that this little brat had hidden things from her again, she gritted her teeth.
Damn it! I was careless!
Some time ago, I thought I had seen through this brat. She also thought that by hiding the fact that I was secretly researching Wood Release, I had surpassed this brat.
Who would have thought that this little kid was actually carrying her on his back!
Damn it! If that bastard from Konoha dares to say anything about her little puppy again, she will beat him to death!
This is not a little puppy at all, it's clearly a disobedient little wolfdog!
……
The Hokage's office building.
"Danzo! Look at what you've done!"
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table angrily and looked at the news from the Anbu. This time, Danzo Shimura faced the reprimand and rarely lowered his head and remained silent.
"The Wood Release Project has been banned from research! What's going on with this laboratory? Do you know what will happen when the Rock and Cloud Ninjas learn of this news?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very angry, but Shimura Danzo was also very aggrieved.
"Hurizen, the research base has been sealed!"
"Bullshit! Is this what you call a ban? What about the child in the lab? What do you mean by giving up? Does that mean there is still a child there?"
It's clear that Danzo Shimura is playing word games.
If this matter was only discovered within the village, it would be fine, a small matter, but it would become a big deal if it was reported back by spies.
The Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja will think that Konoha is secretly researching the ultimate weapon that is more terrifying than the tailed beasts. What will happen then?
Will they take this opportunity to join forces?
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a headache, and Shimura Danzo also knew the seriousness of the matter. He said in a deep voice:
"Huruzen, don't worry! The Root's spies in the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village have already reached the upper levels. Give me another five years! Five years at most! The Root will definitely be able to provoke a civil war between the two villages."
"Danzo! I hope you can handle the Root this time!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt very aggrieved. It would be fine if he had really developed Wood Release, but the problem was that he hadn't developed anything at all, and he had to make other ninja villages even more wary of him. This was extremely detrimental to the development of Konoha.
