"I don't understand." Kakashi stared blankly at the black substance surging around his feet, not only confused but also a little scared.
Yu Ling...why do you know this?
Even he, the famous Copy Ninja, couldn't identify this strange substance, but Yu Ling...
"I don't understand either."
"..."
Everyone was speechless for a while, looking at the murderous but serious-looking Yu Ling just panted lightly and didn't move at all.
"But, I'm sure this is what affected Captain Yamato." The Yin-type chakra on the body trembled, and the silence around him increased to another level. Shikaku lowered his head first and studied the pool of blood on the ground. Distorted matter.
"Haiyi, do you think this thing looks familiar?" Lu Jiu said it inadvertently, but turned his head to one side as if he didn't care, avoiding everyone's sight.
"Huh?" Haiyi closed his eyes instinctively and turned to use his perception to analyze this substance.
Eyes, at this time, will only play a misleading role.
No one present has ever seen such a strange thing. After all, there should be monsters in Orochimaru's stronghold, and it is not strange to appear in the imprisoned Yamato's body.
"This thing doesn't belong to Orochimaru." Kaoru, who had been hiding behind Suigetsu, muttered in a low voice, but his neck was grabbed at that moment, and his thin hands were wrapped in thick chakra without mercy. locked her.
"Why are you so sure?" The person coming was naturally Yu Ling.
The pained expression shown by Xiang Lu only lasted for a second. After confirming the person coming, Bian collapsed and even put on a nymphomaniac smile.
"You don't know my ability, right? The range that Kagura's inner eye can detect can accommodate dozens of Orochimaru's strongholds. What kind of things have I not sensed inside? But, the aura coming from this thing I'm not familiar with it at all, and I can't find it in my memory!" Xiang Ling raised her head and twisted around in Yu Ling's hand, trying to turn around.
"Do you still have memories?" Shui Yue looked at Xiang Ling's proud look and couldn't help but started to yell, not afraid of being overheard by Yu Ling.
"You... big idiot, I'm not you."
"Shut up and continue." Yu Ling slowly turned his head and glared at Shui Yue, then raised his chin at Xiang Ling.
"There's no Orochimaru-specific smell here. Ah... I can't forget that domineering and insidious aura, right?" At this point, Xiang Ling also glared at Suigetsu before struggling to look for it. Yu Ling.
"I know."
It's useless to know this... It's just that the person asking has no intention, but the listener has intention.
"Sure enough... that person was also here." Shikaku nodded to the two old teammates around him, then stepped forward and muttered a few words in Kakashi's ear, squatted down and grabbed a handful of black material stained with blood. , carrying it behind his back and returning to his original place.
"Scorpion...?" Senior's message echoed in his mind, and Kakashi just stood with his hands in his pockets, neither speaking nor moving.
Yamato was still lying in a pool of blood, but the blood slowly pouring out no longer contained the black substance.
"Sharingan, open!" Yu Ling scanned Yamato's body from a distance, and after seeing that there were no more impurities in the blood, he bumped his head against a broken pillar.
Pillars cracked and people fell.
Another pool of blood.
"Eh? What is Yu Ling doing?"
"Don't worry... this is his way to control his rage. After all... if he can't control it anymore, we can't stop him." Kimimaro was also so violent Zuofeng was frightened, and after instructing Zhongwu to take care of him, he trembled and gave his own explanation.
"Yu Ling... Even if you are thinking about us, can you stop being like this..."
Kakashi had not yet recovered from Yamato's situation. The corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally and he glanced at the three people on the ground because of Yu Ling. The collapsed ninja... silently took out his hand from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Everyone... pack up and prepare to return. The mission is over." Naturally, the only remaining captain was Kakashi, who volunteered to carry Yamato, and the remaining two were handed over to other teams.
"Hey, Kakashi, are you missing someone?"
"Yes! Kakashi, why did you abandon your ANBU companions like this?"
"Yoshi! Kakashi, you are a ninja who doesn't value your companions. But...ah!" Just as Kai's mind turned around, a straight punch flew towards him and he hit his nose mercilessly.
The last scene was fixed on that gloomy cheek...
"Come here, take Kai back."
"Yes..."
...
"I heard that the mission of that brat Yu Ling is over?"
"Yes, Tuan Master Zang. I just received a letter from Master Hokage. Everyone will return to Konoha Hidden Village within three days."
"Are our people still there?"
"This..."
"Huh?"
"The Hokage did not mention our roots. ' people."
"Not mentioned? What does this mean?"
"According to reliable sources, the report sent back by Kakashi did not mention the members of the Roots, and four people seemed to have disappeared..." "
What? ? Now contact the root! I don’t care how many people you need, find the root immediately anyway!"
"Yes, Danzo-sama."
"Hokage... is this how he despises our 'root' people!"
"Gen" At the cross bridge in the center of the base, the old man leaned hard on the ground with his cane, and his deep voice echoed underground.
...
Outside the country, underground, a no-man's land.
"Hey, what's going on with Yamato now?" Orochimaru made a small space and controlled several small snakes to look around. A pair of snake eyes stared at the glass beads hidden deep in the two layers of puppets.
"I can't control it anymore." A pool of black substance flowed from Scorpion's hand, slowly adding chakra, but he could no longer sense any signs of life. "It seems...either he was lifted, or he was killed by the Konoha gang."
"Haha...As far as I'm concerned, Yamato is more likely to be killed." Orochimaru said unconcernedly He made a joke, sat down, closed his eyes, and concentrated his chakra.
"Are you so confident in your Konoha companions?" Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, and his feminine voice trembled from deep in his torso.
"Haha... On the contrary, I just don't believe they have the ability to discover your ninjutsu... So, it's easier to kill them. If nothing else, they still have the strength to kill ninjas." He didn't even raise his eyelids happily, and with a tilt of his mouth, he denied his... "Also, he was a former Konoha companion." "
Haha... I know. But, in this case, our plan..."
"continue."
……
"That guy Yu Yefei... How long has it been? Hasn't he taken the majesty of our elders seriously!?" An old man wearing a white robe decorated with five magatama jade was pacing in place, his hands behind his back. Behind him, he held several unsent scrolls in his hands.
"Elder, please calm down. After all, Master Yu Yefei is currently on a mission..."
"This is no excuse! The elder's words are orders, and even he can't obey them!" The old man still ignored the fuss, flicked his hand, and The scroll was drawn on the magatama warrior in front of him.
"It's the elder. I'll go and hurry you up." The warrior didn't dare to say anything more and retreated respectfully, holding the scroll he just picked up in his hand.
"Do you know what you want to do?" As soon as he came out of the tent, his expression changed immediately. He ordered a child-like ninja with a stern voice, threw the scroll out, and walked away without looking back.
"Sir...there is something..." The child held a scroll in his hand and was about to hand it over obediently, but he was greeted by a cold figure from behind.
"This scroll... comes from Master Yu Yefei..." With his status, he couldn't enter the elder's tent, and those who could get in ignored him, so the child could only throw the scroll helplessly in front of the door. on the ground and ran away quietly.
...
On the other side, the neighboring country of the Fire Country, the Wind Country.
"How's it going, Maki, have you found the Fourth Kazekage-sama?"
"Yura, don't worry. That's the Fourth Kazekage-sama. He just went out to perform a mission. He'll be fine. It's not time for the mission yet. Is it within range?" Ma Ji patted the thin man next to him on the shoulder with a confident look, put his other hand behind his back, straightened his back and looked towards the sky, looking forward to the return of Lord Kazekage in his heart.
These two people, one is the captain of Sunagakure Village's security force, and the other is the instructor of the Fourth Kazekage's three children. They are not unimportant to this village. Perhaps this is why they care about the Fourth Kazekage. reason.
"Okay, then... let's stop talking and go back to work." Yura touched his beard, waved his hand, and walked into an underground building in Sunagakure with his back to Maki.
"Kazekage-sama will be fine, hahaha."
...
"Shikaku... Shikaku! Shikaku, come back quickly..." Konoha, Hokage's room...
A bright yellow figure appeared from a pile of documents. The wrinkles on the head and forehead are clearly visible, and a pair of panda eyes are also lifelike.
This is obviously the Fourth Hokage who lost his Hokage secretary, Namikaze Minato...
"Oh, I really don't know why I risked my life to get Ino Shikacho out... I'm so tired! I'm really tired without Shikaku. I can't work well..." Minato punched the table in frustration, and the pieces of paper flew up. He didn't have time to step out of his enclosed seat to pick them up...
"Is there anyone here to help me? ...Shikaku, Shikaku..." Minato raised one hand feebly, dangling in the air aimlessly.
"Hokage-sama!" A quick knock on the door came, frightening Minato to the point where he sat upright and gently brushed his god-controlling robe.
"Please come in."
"Report! Today Madam Hokage and others have returned triumphantly. They have now entered the Land of Fire and are protected by a team of border guards in the dark." "
Ah... I know, I know... Those border guards are back. After that, give them a holiday. A week." Minato yawned and held up a finger, flicking it as if he couldn't open his eyes.
"Yes." The messenger turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that Hokage-sama has been in a bad mood lately...it doesn't seem that bad after all!"
