"Ah, I just went to the Hokage's office once on the way. Okay, don't say any more useless things, and get ready later. We are going on a dangerous mission."
"Ah? Is it just the two of us? Don't you need to call the other ANBU class members?" Zhixue walked to Kakashi's side and said.
"Ah, they all have their own tasks to do, and they won't be able to stop for a while. And I have been recuperating as a wounded person before, and you are a new member who has recently integrated into the ANBU. In the current population resources When there is a shortage, only the two of us are free to come over." Kakashi twisted his neck, stretched, took out the key, and skillfully connected the ninja bag in the reserve cabinet to the forehead protector and mask. Weared on the face.
"Is that so?" Zhixue leaned against the wall, waiting for Kakashi to finish cleaning up, and then they chased in the direction indicated on the map. However, not long after the two people left the village, two more root ninjas followed. The footprints of two people followed.
After a journey that lasted nearly 10 minutes, Zhixue and Kakashi saw the first inspection location marked on the map. It was an excavated underground cave, but the interior was sewn together with various steels. Together, it becomes very strong and reliable.
Kakashi cut off the ropes and roadblocks blocking the road with a kunai, and then touched along the way.
"Stay back a little, and I'll make a seal..." Kakashi said to Zhixue beside him.
"it is good."
After seeing Zhixue retreat a few meters, Kakashi put his hand on the seal on the iron door, and then quickly formed seals with both hands. A red light flashed over the seal, but just when Kakashi was about to take it off, an unusual chakra fluctuation shocked Kakashi.
"This seal is not a seal...it's a detonating talisman. Get out of the way!" Kakashi shouted, and then a violent explosion came from the iron door. The fire and smoke that came towards him engulfed Kakashi, and the huge sound scared the birds and beasts living in the forest around him.
Zhixue also ran over immediately and helped Kakashi up from lying on the ground.
"Hmm...how come there is such a thing as a detonating talisman? Is someone trying to frame us?" Zhixue said with a strange expression.
This place is not far from Konoha, and the two of them are performing a special secret mission. Logically speaking, no one will know about it.
"Okay, I don't have much to do." After Kakashi got used to the huge roar of the explosion, he felt a little relieved. He stood up alone and twisted a dislocated bone back.
"Our mission is to explore the situation. Even if we know something is not right here, we still have to break in and test it out."
"Ah, okay, you are the captain and I will listen to you." Zhixue waved his hand, and then followed Kakashi's footsteps and walked in. The mission was in front of him, and it was impossible to leave.
Not long after the two of them entered, Tianzhong and B ran over again. B picked up an iron fragment from the ground and said, "What a good luck. I didn't get hit by the iron fragments exploded by the detonating talisman."
"What to do next?" Sky Burial said, looking at the bottomless laboratory left by Orochimaru in front of him.
Seeing this, Sky Burial seemed to recall the time when he was locked up in such a dark and deep place, locked up with many children, and subjected to pain and experiments that ordinary people could not bear.
"What I'm good at is that Fire Style and Wind Style are not suitable for fighting in narrow areas, and they can easily explode some miscellaneous things, so the task of secretly attacking Kakashi Hatake and seizing his Sharingan is left to you. As for Uchiha Shiyuki Crane tail, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to deal with her, and I’m here to watch the exit to prevent them from escaping.”
"Okay." Sky Burial hesitated for a moment, then agreed, then picked up the kunai and rushed in...
Chapter 38: The Snake in the Laboratory
"Have you found someone to explore the laboratory near Konoha?"
In the Hokage's office, Danzo, who was leaning on crutches, said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting on a chair, with his hands behind his back.
"Ah, yes, Kakashi's injury has recovered. It's time to assign this task to him. What? Are you still interested in what Orochimaru left behind?"
Danzo turned sideways and narrowed his eyes.
"Of course not. Orochimaru has now become Konoha's enemy. Naturally, I don't want to get those dangerous things. However, Uchiha Shiyuki is not completely free of suspicion. During the mission, Genbu will secretly assist Kaka. This is to avoid unnecessary damage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Since you have sent out the roots, let things stay like this for the time being, but Danzo, if something happens, I hope it really has nothing to do with you. "Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hands together and looked deeply at Danzo and said.
"When will I take action against Konoha's genius? Sarutobi, you are worrying too much, and since everything has been arranged, I won't stay here any longer. I hope this mission can be successful... "
Shimura Danzo left the Hokage's office, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed and continued to deal with his own government affairs. I hope Danzo doesn't have any evil thoughts about this operation, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to handle.
……
Ta-ta-ta-ta...
The floor of the corridor was still stained with many pitted water marks and mud, and there was no trace of light in the deep path ahead.
Zhixue took out a flashlight from his ninja tool bag and illuminated the field of view in front of him. Kakashi didn't really need this because his Sharingan, which he couldn't close, could see here very clearly. It was a gift to him every day. A little consolation for spending mana, at least walking at night is no different from walking during the day.
The two of them continued to explore deeper into the past. Under this dark environment, there were often unknown dangers hidden.
A small black snake spit out a message and emerged from a nearby crack. His keen sense of smell told him that the prey had arrived, and then he carefully followed the corner of the wall and approached Zhixue's back.
Bark!
The thrown pheasant sword nailed the black snake to the wall, and a ray of silver light flashed across. Before the snake could scream, his sinful life had ended.
Zhixue frowned as she watched the black snake's dead blood squeaking on the iron plate with a flashlight.
"Most of the snakes here are venomous, so it seems you have to be careful."
Kakashi and Zhiyuki continued to move forward, and finally found an iron door at the end of the corridor. It was unlocked and opened to a certain extent. There seemed to be a faint light flickering inside.
Kakashi made a gesture to Zhiyuki, and the two of them nodded. They used a reflector to check the general situation inside. After finding that no danger was found, they boldly walked in.
Inside is a dense nutrient tank filled with various animal and plant organs and some unseen animal bones. In addition, there are some biological models and some complicated materials placed on the table not far away.
"Ah, it seems that Orochimaru didn't destroy or take away everything after he left." Kakashi walked to the table and wiped the dust on the table.
While Kakashi and Zhixue were collecting some potentially useful information here, Sky Burial also came to the iron gate to observe the actions of the two people.
"Kakashi Hatake...is that Uchiha Shiyuki next to you?" Looking at the two ANBU packing things, Tianzhong took out a kunai from the ninja bag, but when he saw a huge one in the distance After the shadow, it relaxed again.
boom!
A big snake covered with white substance knocked out a hole in the nearly one-meter-thick wall, roaring towards Zhixue and Kakashi in the distance.
"It seems that Orochimaru has left something else here, but this big guy looks really unique." Looking at the viscous liquid and white translucent scales covering the Orochimaru's body, Zhixue had a feeling The feeling of being disgusted.
Sticky, slippery, wet, these are the things Zhixue hates the most.
Roar!
The big white phosphorus snake slammed over, its sharp fangs carrying saliva and swallowed Zhixue in one gulp.
"Fire Release - Fireball Technique!" The huge fireball illuminated the surrounding space, but the flames hit the snake hard and did not seem to cause much substantial damage.
Zhixue took advantage of the opportunity before the big snake could adapt to the light, and jumped away, letting the big snake jump away.
"Raikiri!" The stinging lightning flashed on Kakashi's right hand, and vigorous energy poured into the snake's body, but the numbness coming from the wound made Kakashi's pupils shrink.
The numbness is not caused by lightning, it seems to be toxins. But it stands to reason that the lightning has burnt the flesh and blood that penetrated it and will not be affected by the toxins in the blood...
Roar!
Feeling the pain in his body, Orochi angrily knocked Kakashi away with his headbutt. After smashing several jars, Kakashi got up from the ground.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't die for a while." Kakashi held the kunai in his hand and twisted his purple arm and said.
The big snake with a big hole poked by Lei Qie opened its bloody mouth, and a burst of green venom spurted out from the tips of its teeth.
"Earth Escape - Earth Current Wall!" The earth flow wall carved with dog heads blocked the two people, and the green venom sprayed on the soil layer, corroding grooves one by one.
The two shadow clones carried the tachi and crossed the earth flow wall. They slashed the big snake's hard scales covered with mucus with their knives, making a crisp sound.
hiss!
A trace of blood flashed in the ferocious pupils of the white phosphorus snake. He controlled his huge body and threw the shadow clone out, and then let out a hiss, as if to express his sovereignty.
Click!
Before the white phosphorus snake noticed, Zhixue jumped over the covering soil layer and hit him on the head with a white pellet. A burst of white light rose from the scene, and the huge kinetic energy caused by the extremely powerful chakra rotation in the center was like a small nuclear bomb, destroying the big snake's head and an area behind it.
"Is that a Rasengan?" A head popped out from behind the Earth Flow Wall and saw Kakashi under his mask, looking very surprised.
Wasn't the Rasengan invented by Minato-sensei? How come Uchiha Shiyuki can do this? Is it possible that this thing can be self-taught?
Not only was Kakashi shocked, but Sky Burial, who was hiding behind the iron gate and preparing to look for an opportunity, was also a little surprised.
Doesn't it mean that Uchiha Zhiyue is just a genin?
Chapter 39, Strange Poison
Regarding the question of whether to use the Rasengan, in fact, during this short period of thinking, Zhixue also thought about it. Using the Rasengan means exposing the ninjutsu of unknown origin in front of Kakashi, which is bound to cause some trouble.
But Kakashi has been poisoned, and the thickness of the snake's scales makes it difficult to kill it quickly without concealment. Zhixue's mission description is to protect his teammates, so he must be more cautious.
Among the current methods, Rasengan is the most suitable choice. Needless to say, even the ordinary Rasengan is so powerful. An ordinary sword would leave only a scratch at most, but a ball would smash it into pieces. No wonder Naruto developed so many balls.
After the Rasengan killed the big snake, a headless long snake corpse collapsed on the ground, and dark green blood flowed from the severed head of the corpse. Because the blood would continue to spread poisonous gas in the air, Kakashi and Zhiyuki temporarily retreated.
"Hey, where did you learn the Rasengan?"
“Let’s wait until later to talk about this!”
Snapped!
The iron door of the laboratory was closed, and the poisonous gas could not spread out for the time being, but Kakashi suddenly saw something wrong with the footprints on the corridor floor. Because there are some water stains in the corridor, you can see the water stains on the soles of your shoes as long as you don't leave for too long.
But besides him and Zhixue, there seemed to be another person's footprints here.
"Wait, someone seems to have been here just now." Kakashi squatted down and observed carefully.
Zhixue:!!?
Could it be that the roots in the mission introduction came so quickly.
Zhixue suddenly felt cold in his heart. Being seen by Kakashi was a bit troublesome at best. It was difficult to explain the origin of the ninjutsu, but it was different when he was seen by the roots. If Danzo, the old guy, knew about it, he would probably be arrested and cursed. Seal and serve.
When Zhixue thought about the indescribable things that happened after Danzo was caught in the dark room at the root, he felt a chill all over his body.
Kakashi endured the feeling of weakness and numbness that continued to spread in his arms, picked up the kunai and ran towards the corridor back.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
"Ah, I've been poisoned. If I don't run back to Konoha, I will become a historical tombstone." Although Kakashi knew that the task was important, he was not in a hurry for a task that could be completed at any time after being sealed off. He could do it After treating the injury, come back in the afternoon and continue the mission.
Zhixue looked at Kakashi, who was getting weaker and weaker as he ran, and was even staggering around. He looked at his task panel, and then asked the system in his mind with some pain.
"Tongzi, is there any medicine to treat the poison?"
……
"What did you give me to eat? Why do you feel like your body has recovered a lot?" Kakashi said as he felt something as sweet and crispy as chocolate beans finally melted, and then he felt a little greedy and ate two more.
"It's nothing, it's just a special medicine for the security team, but... you need to make an IOU." Zhixue said with a smile on his face, and then tore off a piece of fabric from his leg and used it as an IOU.
"Oh, is that so?" Kakashi scratched his head with some understanding. The Uchiha clan actually still has such good things, but since it can help him save his life, paying a little money is nothing.
"The one you just ate was 40w, but you ate two more after that, so it is 40w×3=120w taels." Zhixue said, and used a small stone nearby to draw a few lines of big words on it and stuffed it into Kakashi's hand.
"How much!?" Kakashi's eyes turned white with fright when he heard the price quoted by Zhixue.
120 million, that’s about the same amount he inherited from his father! How could this broken medicine be so expensive!?
