CH 304

Konohagakure was in a war at this time, and almost every ninja was fighting on the front line. Almost everyone was unprepared for this sudden war, but Konohagakure ninjas adapted quickly.

On Konohagakure's battlefield, the Jonins were fighting with all their might.

Aoba was in the Root Base underground of Hokage Building and was looking for the entrance to the secret room.

Through the Flying Thunder God Formula, he could clearly confirm that the room where Kumogakure's corpse was stored above his head.

Then the location around the secret room was the secret room that could not be entered from that side of the corridor.

"Something is wrong here."

After searching for a while, Aoba frowned slightly. He discovered a very important thing. It was that this place looked like a plaza without support at all. Usually, there should be a heavy pillar every once in a while to support the roof of this place.

But...

There was nothing. It was completely empty. It looked like the place where Root ninjas train.

"Could it be..."

Aoba looked up at the top of his head. He did not know much about architecture. He only learned prior knowledge and knew that static objects had a balance of force. Then this top was the ground above. If he did not need any support, it should be a lot of tension.

A light flashed in his mind. According to the location provided by the Flying Thunder God Formula, as well as his memories of the shape of the corridor, he walked down the corridor toward the depths.

Walking and walking...

Aoba arrived at the furthest distance he had reached before but didn't go any further.

"Why am I so stupid!"

Aoba suddenly slapped his head. He had been locking on to the Flying Thunder God Formula just now, but wasn't the Flying Thunder God Formula just above his head!

Instantly, Aoba's hands began to form seals quickly. The hand seals he formed were precisely the shadow clone technique.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba muttered in a low voice. As he said this, a person who looked exactly the same as him suddenly appeared beside him. It was his shadow clone.

Crash crash...

After this shadow clone appeared, the pieces of paper on his body flew over. They began to change, directly changing into the appearance of Orochimaru.

Now, Aoba felt that it was good to become Orochimaru. Not only did Orochimaru have a very high position at Root, but even if he were found, he would not be suspected. Moreover, Orochimaru might also be participating in the battle at this time. He did not think that he would coincidentally encounter Orochimaru's actual body.

"You go up."

Aoba nodded at the advanced paper clone who had turned into Orochimaru.

"Understood!"

The advanced paper clone responded to Aoba. Then, he immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula above his head in his mind. He then used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and his figure disappeared in a flash.

In a split second, the advanced paper clone, who had become Orochimaru, directly appeared above his head.

The advanced paper clone came out of the last room that Aoba had explored. He walked toward the stone door and prepared to leave from here.

Rumble...

The advanced paper clone opened the stone door and saw a dark corridor.

At this time, there was no one walking in this corridor. It was a dark night in itself, and Kumogakure ninjas were invading.

Aoba's advanced paper clone stood in the corridor. With a flip of his wrist, a piece of paper appeared in his palm. On the paper, there was the Flying Thunder God Formula.

After this piece of paper with the Flying Thunder God Formula appeared.

Aoba, who was at the bottom, suddenly sensed the Flying Thunder God Formula in his mind. And as the advanced paper clone moved, it was like a lamp, guiding him into the corridor.

...

Aoba's advanced paper clone was extremely fast, constantly walking toward the end of the corridor. Along the way, he met another room but did not go in to check.

Right now, his goal was very simple. He wanted to go straight to the end and see what was at the end of the corridor.

Aoba had a faint suspicion.

The end of the corridor was where one could enter the secret room. Since the design of the room could be reversed. Then the design of the corridor could also be reversed.

Instantly.

Aoba quickly chased after the Flying Thunder God Formula in the advanced paper clone's hand.

He walked toward the end of the path at an extremely fast speed.

Just like that, the two of them walked for about three minutes.

The advanced paper clone could still walk forward, but a wall appeared in front of Aoba.

There was no path ahead. Although the square could give Root ninjas a large training space, there was no way to cover the bottom of those secret rooms completely.

Aoba stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and knocked it against the wall.

The feeling of knocking was very heavy. It was a completely solid wall. There was no gap in it.

According to the memories of the three Root ninjas he read, the location was almost the border of the Root Base.

However, the advanced paper clone was still moving forward like a navigation system.

"There must be a secret passage here."

Aoba began to check around the wall. He constantly knocked on the wall to sense the structure inside. He always felt that there was something in this place. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this.

At this moment, the Flying Thunder God Formula that the advanced paper clone was carrying stopped.

He was already at the end of the corridor and passed by a few rooms along the way.

He didn't enter, but the place beside the door was already marked with the Flying Thunder God Formula.

The end of the corridor was already a solid wall, and it was obvious that it had only been excavated to this extent.

This could be considered a one-way corridor.

He could only enter through the entrance, and he could only leave through the entrance unless he mastered space-time ninjutsu.

Aoba's advanced paper clone stood at the end of the corridor, raised his right hand, and pressed down on the wall at the end of the corridor. At the same time, he controlled his chakra to surge out.

Hum!

The chakra in Aoba's palm changed slightly and then directly formed a mark of the Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall.

After the coordinates of the last position were placed. The rough shape and position of the entire corridor could be checked at any time.

"My mission is complete."

Aoba's advanced paper clone muttered to himself and disappeared.

As advanced paper clones disappeared. Aoba, knocking on the wall, suddenly felt a wave of information pouring into his brain.

It was all brought by that advanced paper clone just now.

"The corridor is a dead end."

"There are no forks."

"The layout of each room is the same."

"The location between these rooms is the secret room."

"Then where else can the entrance to the secret room be?"

Aoba was a little puzzled. He searched here for a while and found nothing special. Either there was no way to the secret room, or he had not discovered the way.

His mood was more inclined to the second point. He had yet to discover it. After all, those rooms can only be entered from the dark corridor.

If there was no entrance...

Then there might be a second-long corridor. The corridor Aoba had walked through had a parallel design, trapping the rows of rooms in the middle.

Several rooms were open to the right, the rooms that could be entered on the dark corridor. The other rooms were opened to the left, and they needed to be in another corridor to enter.

"If that's the case..."

Aoba looked to the left side of the place, likely to be where the corridor was.

But...

What he saw was a solid wall.

'If the entrance wasn't at the Root Base, it was just like the long corridor. In other words...'

Thinking of this, Aoba became nervous. He suddenly realized something very important that he had neglected.

"If the corridor was on the left and moved upwards, wouldn't that be Danzo's office?"

Aoba widened his eyes, and his pupils contracted. He vaguely realized that he had found the wrong direction.

Things might be simple. Two long corridors appeared parallel. One was under the Hokage Building, and the other was under Danzo's office.

There were rooms built between the two corridors. However, some rooms were open to the right and could enter through the corridor under the Hokage Building. Some rooms were open to the left, and the corridor under Danzo's office could be entered.

"Why didn't I think of this before?"

Aoba felt that his thoughts on this matter were a little complicated. Thinking of the underground, he directly thought of Root Base. Perhaps this corridor had nothing to do with Root.

Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and directly appeared behind the Hokage Building.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The instant Aoba appeared all kinds of sounds of collision could be heard. Powerful chakra unceasingly collided. Even if he did not see it, he could feel it. At this time, Konohagakure was in a very chaotic stage.

Aoba did not leave behind any Flying Thunder God Formula in Danzo's office. When he came, he did not dare to do anything there. After all, Danzo was there. If he was not careful, he might be discovered.

After all, Danzo was a student of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. He was familiar with Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

Aoba was very clear that if he was seen by others when he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), maybe that person did not know what was going on. But if Danzo saw it, he would be recognized instantly.

At that time, even Danzo didn't know his identity at all. But he would remember Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

If one day, Aoba used his own identity to display Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), then his identity would immediately be exposed and associated with what he had done in the past.

This was a very terrible thing!

Aoba understood the importance of Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). In the entire history of the Ninja World, there were not only two people who could use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) independently.

One was the Second Hokage that created Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and the other was the Fourth Hokage, Minato, who had brought Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to fame.

Apart from that, no one could. This kind of label was too apparent on one's body.

Crash crash...

The pieces of paper on Aoba's body flew up and down, and his appearance changed again.

At this time, he wasn't at Root. Then he didn't need to worry so much.

Aoba transformed into Kumogakure's ninja Gasshi. He looked powerful, just like the Third Raikage, but was a few times smaller and had explosive muscles all over his body.

After transforming into Gasshi, Aoba no longer had so many worries. He directly walked toward Danzo's office, which he had just visited not long ago.

"Stop!"

Just as Aoba stepped in, he was immediately stopped by a voice.

It was a ninja wearing a mask. It was the person who had stopped him when Aoba first came because the pattern on the mask was the same.

"He actually still holds his post."

Aoba sneered. He found that when Danzo encountered this kind of thing, he really cherished his subordinates. No one was allowed to go.

What was the use of staying here at this time?

There was no one inside.

...

Lightning chakra appeared on Aoba's body. This lightning chakra seemed to have turned into armor, directly wrapping around his body.

At the same time, all the cells in Aoba's body were filled with this lightning chakra, and they became active.

Every cell was very excited, and it made him feel like he had been charged.

Just as the lightning radiance on Aoba's body formed, the Root ninja, who stopped him, instantly took out many shurikens and threw them directly at Aoba.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The shurikens were dense and precise and directly flew toward Aoba's body. They densely blocked all the surrounding positions, leaving no space at all.

"Too slow."

Aoba stood in place and did not even move. His eyes were filled with lightning chakra. Through the lightning chakra, he stimulated his cells. Even his optic nerves had reached an exceptionally keen level.

At this time, the shurikens seemed to slow down.

"So that's how it is."

Aoba stared ahead with his eyes wide open. He suddenly thought of the scene when the Third Raikage dodged Danzo's attack.

Danzo's attack speed was far faster than the shuriken thrown by the Root ninja in front of him.

However, Danzo's attack could not even touch the Third Raikage's clothes.

Not only because the Third Raikage was faster but also because after injecting the lightning chakra into the eye, it could stimulate the visual nerves and increase the speed at which the eye passes information to the brain.

This feels like a high frame rate mode was directly turned on.

However. even if the eyes of ordinary people were poured with lightning chakra, the amount of improvement it could bring was still limited.

It still belonged to the situation where the eyes could not keep up with the body.

Visually, there would be a limit to the performance.

The more Aoba used the Lightning Chakra Mode, the more he would clearly realize his desire for Byakugan in this mode.

If such lightning chakra was injected into Byakugan...

What kind of effect would that be?

This question immediately popped up in Aoba's head. After all, he was someone who had personally experienced it. He was more or less curious about the benefits that could be brought about by this kind of thing.

As he used more lightning release ninjutsu.

Of course, they were all used when making trouble. Aoba had already understood why Kumogakure ninjas often targeted the people from the Hyuga clan.

However, he only understood this matter. It did not mean that he could accept it. It didn't mean that he felt that there was no problem.

On the contrary, Aoba felt that there was a very big problem.

"Then can we think about it from a different perspective? Since you, Kumogakure, want to use Byakugan to upgrade this lightning release body technique, can our Hyuga clan use your lightning release body technique to upgrade Byakugan?"

At this moment, Aoba was thinking about many questions. He didn't know it was because the lightning chakra entered his brain, which made his thinking sharp.

Regarding the Hyuga clan (Gentle Fist), their only use was to seal all the chakra pathways in the body.

When they touched someone who had a bit of a cheat. In a few minutes, the sealed chakra pathways would be released.

Those Juken(Gentle Fist) techniques.

To Aoba's knowledge, it was simply a flashy but impractical thing. Their only biggest use was when sparring with each other inside the clan and the village.

Apart from that, if they have the time to grind and click those chakra pathways.

They might as well take out a handful of Kunai. It would be enough to turn people into sieves. Unless there was a crushing situation. Otherwise, if one's strengths were similar to or weaker than the opponent's, there would be almost no chance of continuous attack.

A single touch could decide life and death in a fight between experts.

Just like Senju Tobirama killed Uchiha Izuna.

If the Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) had turned into Rokujuyon Sho Hiraishin no Jutsu(Sixty-Four Palms Flying Thunder God Technique), then Tobirama would have been killed before he could finish his technique.

Aoba always felt that the Hyuga clan attack was lacking and gave his opponent a chance. Perhaps this was also why the Hyuga clan did not have any famous experts.

"In the future, I will find a chance to teach the Hyuga clan the lightning release body technique. Look at the overbearing feeling of Raikage's fist hitting flesh. Perhaps at that time, the Hyuga clan will be able to receive the most substantial improvement!"

At this moment, Aoba had already begun to imagine the Byakugan with 360-degree vision using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to rampage through the enemy formation.

Any clan needed to improve!

Even a powerful family such as the Hyuga clan cannot remain complacent. Introducing the old and bringing forth the new will make people progress.

Aoba felt that the Hyuga clan was somewhat constrained by the Juken(Gentle Fist) created by their ancestors.

One must know that...

Ninjutsu in the Ninja World was also constantly changing. Nowadays, people stand on the shoulders of their ancestors to develop and create.

At least in Aoba's eyes...

Juken(Gentle Fist) was no longer so practical!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

Just as Aoba was thinking, the shurikens thrown over by the Root ninja quickly flew in front of Aoba.

The lightning on Aoba's body surged. In an instant, his entire body flashed through the gaps between these dense shurikens, easily dodging them.

These dense shurikens did not even touch a single hair on Aoba's body. They were completely useless.

"You..."

The eyes of the Root ninja with the mask were wide open, and he could not believe that this was an action that a human could do.

The shuriken that he threw out was just for probing. He did not expect these things to hurt the Kumogakure ninja in front of him.

But in his knowledge. If he wanted to destroy this concentrated attack. At least get something out. Even if it was to block, there must be something!

But he hadn't expected that he would be able to dodge it so easily.

This thing was too fast!

This Root ninja was stunned for a moment.

It was just...

Just as he was stunned, Aoba had already appeared before him. His speed was so fast that this Root ninja could not react.

Snap!

Aoba slapped his palm on the head of this Root ninja, and there was a paper tag in his hand, and the word "sleep" was written on the paper tag.

Thud!

This Root ninja directly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Not only could he not use chakra, but he could not even wake up.

"Isn't this better than acupuncture!"
