Chapter 79 Fighting in the Air

   What a peaceful life.

  After withdrawing from the front-line mission career and entering the ninja school, Shiraishi felt as if he had lived a retirement life only for the elderly.

  Every day, except for going to work at the ninja school at 3:00 p.m., the rest of the time is at your own discretion.

   Even though he also goes to work in the hospital, the working hours are not very long each time. It can be said that Shiraishi's current life is something that many Konoha ninjas would not envy.

  Study, take a walk, go to work, go home and rest on time.

   Occasionally, I would go shopping with Ruri, but the number of times I saw Ayane was very few.

  After the three of them withdrew from the Shuo Mao team, they had their own tasks to complete.

  Liuli needs to work in the police force, responsible for the security of the village and resolve civil disputes in the village.

  Because Ayane has become a jonin, and has been spotted by Hyuga's high-level elders for her potential very early, she is also in an important position in the Hyuga clan at this moment.

   After all, becoming the guard of the future Hyuga Clan patriarch is not something a Hyuga ninja of ordinary strength can do.

   It can be seen that Ayane's status in the Hyuga clan is much higher than that of ordinary Hyuga branch ninjas.

   There is also a serious level gap between the separated family and the separated family.

  Based on this situation, Shiraishi only saw Ayane outside once after quitting Shuomo's team, and after the meeting, he didn't talk for more than five minutes.

  In secret, and of course in secret, keep in touch and exchange information.

  However... what Shiraishi is most concerned about at present is undoubtedly a series of secret measures recently taken by Konoha's senior management—

  Wood escape research experiment!

  ◎

   "What kind of plan are those people in Konoha high-level plotting?"

   Bai Shitou hurts exactly this.

   On the surface, Shiraishi is not anxious about this. According to the usual rhythm, he lives in the village as a qualified Konoha ninja, but in his heart he is 120% vigilant about the research and experiment of Mutun by the high-level people.

   Baishi, who has never underestimated these high-level people, raised the danger level of these high-level people to another level in his heart.

  White Stone has never verified the power of Mu Dun, but he has witnessed the terrifying power of the Tailed Beast when it runs amok.

   And that was just the power of one tail, regardless of whether it was in a perfect state at the time, among the tailed beasts, the strongest tailed beast was the nine-tailed beast.

   Once suppressed by Mu Dun of the first generation of Hokage, it shows how extraordinary Mu Dun is.

  At that time, a sphere chakra ejected from the tail, and the terrifying power of the explosion really shocked Shiraishi.

   made him doubt the profession of ninja for a while.

   Mutun, who can suppress the strongest tailed beast, even if he may not have the level of the first generation of Hokage, he should not be underestimated too much.

  According to the Zongmen and the others, that strange white creature has a strong stealth ability. If it is not for the ability to sense natural energy, it is difficult to find traces of this strange creature.

  If Konoha's senior management really uses Mudun to research such a special stealth unit, then the purpose is self-evident. Whether it is to search for information on enemy ninjas or to monitor the interior of the village, the observation power is several levels higher than that of Anbu, which is hard to guard against.

  Baishi is not very worried that the research here will be discovered. The stealth ability of this strange creature can be sensed by natural energy.

  No matter how troublesome the known things are, as long as precautions are taken, there is nothing terrible.

   The trouble is the unknown.

   In the hands of the Konoha executives, how many other such stealth creatures are there?

   Where are these creatures arranged?

  What unknown plan are they plotting?

   Has the Uchiha clan been infiltrated by the other party?

   These are all unknowns.

  Shiraishi's absolute confidence in his own safety is based on the premise that Konoha's high-level officials have seriously misunderstood his intelligence. No matter what, he has the initiative. This is the key to victory.

  But this kind of unknown, Konoha's senior management now also has this trump card in their hands.

  Unknown and unknown, if a conflict suddenly breaks out, things will be troublesome.

   "What a headache..."

  How to break the situation, or knowing what Konoha's senior management is plotting, will not be so passive.

  How to regain the initiative in your own hands, you must think of a perfect plan.

  Facing a huge military organization like Ninja Village, there is no chance of winning head-on.

   While Baishi was worrying about this matter, Liuli had already walked down the corridor of the underground laboratory.

   "When did you come back?"

"just."

   "Is it already this time?"

   Shiraishi suddenly didn't realize the passage of time.

   Liuli's working hours in the security force are from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.

  There will be two days off every week, which can be used for free activities and doing what you like.

   "Aren't you here to worry about the plans of the high-level all the time?"

   "Well, after all, it is linked to Wood Dun, and it can also analyze the composition similar to Tailed Beast. This must be guarded against...Why, you don't seem to be worried at all?"

  Baishi noticed that there was no worry on Liuli's face, and was slightly surprised.

  You must know that the relationship between some high-level officials and Uchiha is extremely bad, especially Shimura Danzo, the root leader of the radical faction.

  If there were no three generations of Hokage to reconcile from it, the roots would not be so honest and stand still in the past few years.

   "Why should I worry about this kind of thing? As long as you have the power to suppress all conspiracies and tricks, it is a waste of time and energy to think about countermeasures. If you have this kind of time and energy, it is better to use it to improve your own strength."

   "..."

   It is really a consistent powerist thinking.

  Thinking about it this way, Shiraishi felt that he was worrying about Liuli for nothing.

  "You are too obsessed with the so-called truth. You used to be like this. You must thoroughly understand the so-called truth."

   “It is my job to search for truth.”

   Shiraishi gave the answer.

   "You are obviously insecure."

   Liuli had an expression of "don't try to lie to me", her eyes seemed to be able to see the essence of everything.

   "Since you understand this, why say it, it hurts."

  Baishi reluctantly pulled out a smile.

  Just as he understands everything about Liuli, Liuli also understands everything about him.

   It is impossible to hide this trick from the other party.

   "Because I rarely see you entangled like this, it's very interesting."

   Liuli laughed like this.

   "You...couldn't be Ayane using the transformation technique?"

   Baishi hesitated for a moment before asking this impolite question.

   Sure enough, after listening to Shiraishi's words, Liuli stared at Shiraishi with her dark pupils, and didn't answer him, but the condensed air slowly flowed around.

  Looks like it's genuine.

  Ayane doesn't have such a powerful and intimidating aura.

   "How is the progress of the fairy art?"

   Liuli asked about the topic she cared about the most.

   "In a recent experiment, the success rate of synthesizing immortal chakra has steadily increased to more than 80%. Give me another six months to a year or so before it can be officially put into use."

   Shiraishi gave a relatively conservative time.

   Liuli nodded, half a year to a year, this amount of time is completely affordable.

  Anyway, she has a lot of free time now. As one of the sub-captains in the security team, most of the time, she can just hand over the work to her subordinates. Occasionally, when she encounters a problem, she, the sub-captain, will come forward to settle it.

   After Liuli left, Baishi fell into deep thought.

  Indeed, as Liuli said, instead of guessing what Konoha's high-level executives are going to do here, improving one's own strength will never lose money.

   "But no matter how I improve myself in battle, I can't surpass Liuli. Her growth rate is too abnormal, and my 'strength' is not reflected in battle..."

   Abandon all the time for practice, except for work and rest, all the time is spent on research. This is the way Shiraishi can think of.

   Not only Liuli, but even Ayane's strength is only growing faster than her own.

  Although his cultivation talent is not bad, compared with Liuli and Ayane, the gap is negligible.

  But the two of them have bloodline ability bonuses, Sharingan and Baiyan, both of them are the leading blood successors in the ninja world.

   This is an advantage that Baishi does not have.

   And the power of the Blood Succession Boundary, with the continuous development of the holder, the power will become more terrifying.

   Not to mention, the two of them are geniuses themselves.

  Abandoning the training time by yourself and devoting all your energy to research is also a way to improve your 'strength'.

   Creating 'weapons' is my job, and using 'weapons' to fight is the job of Ruri and Ayane.

  Baishi suddenly had a feeling of breaking through the clouds and seeing the truth.

  Everyone is not perfect in this world.

  So we need others to make up for our own shortcomings and advance and retreat together.

   Compared with fighting, I am better at research, and have cognition and thinking beyond the ninja era. This is where I am stronger than Liuli and Ayane.

  Therefore, there is no need for the current self to strive for excellence in combat, that is not the path I should choose.

  Thinking about it this way, the secret plan of Konoha's senior management is not an important matter.

   What matters is self-improvement.

  ◎

  The weather in May is already relatively warm.

  A creature named 'Baijue' has quietly lurked into Konoha.

  Compared to other villages, Konoha's infiltration difficulty is the most difficult among these ninja villages.

  The perception-type enchantment that surrounds the entire village can see through the white eyes of the entity. When Bai Jue sneaks in, he is very careful in everything he does.

  A total of three people came in, and two Bai Jue were in charge of monitoring outside Muye Village.

  The three white zealots who infiltrated into Konoha village also had a very clear goal, to find out whether a missing white zealot was related to the high-level Konoha, and then to collect information in the Uchiha clan to find the so-called "spokesperson".

   As for what kind of personality and talent requirements are needed for the "spokesperson", Bai Jue knows that they don't know, and everything needs to be decided by their "Master Madara".

  But the age of the 'spokesperson' must not be too old, preferably between a few years old and a teenager, so that it is easy to control.

   Therefore, most of the Uchiha people who were monitored by them were young ninjas in their teens, or children who attended ninja schools.

  One person is in charge of investigating the high-level, one person is in charge of the ninja school, and one person is lurking in the Uchiha clan.

   They have already been handy in collecting intelligence. Even if this is the most difficult to infiltrate Ninja Village, as long as they are given a certain amount of time, they can successfully operate the intelligence channel.

   Bai Zee, who is in charge of the Uchiha clan, swims underground like no one else.

  He is like a ghost that does not exist, and no one has discovered his actions so far.

  Even if it is the Uchiha clan, it is impossible to find his trace.

  This Bai Jue is complacent.

  Although weak combat ability is the defect of most Baijue, everyone's stealth ability is very good, and only a very small number of ninjas with special perception can detect their existence.

  According to the characteristics of the Uchiha clan, there are no sentient ninjas in this clan.

   Therefore, monitoring Uchiha's information is the easiest task in his eyes.

   It seems that I will be able to hand over to Madara-sama soon. This Bai Jue was in a very happy mood.

   Just when he was about to move on, he suddenly felt the chill of being secretly peeped by the eyes of some kind of creature, which made him stop his white body swimming in the soil layer.

  He turned his head and almost screamed out in fright.

  A pair of dark eyes suddenly squeezed out of the soil beside him, staring at him without warning.

What is this?

  Bai Jue just had this idea in his head, and then the soil around him began to squirm, shrink, and become extremely soft, like a swamp. Bai Jue felt the oppression of suffocation, and then lost consciousness.

  Everything happened so suddenly that Bai Jue didn't even see what the enemy looked like clearly.

  —When he woke up, Bai Jue found himself sitting on a stone chair with restraints tied all over his body.

  Here is a secret room, the light emitted by the light is close to dark yellow, barely illuminating the room.

   In front of him stood a man and a woman, both fifteen or sixteen years old.

  The woman was dressed in a tight black ninja suit with an indifferent expression. Just standing there gave him a strong sense of oppression.

  The man was wearing a white coat, and he was walking around his body with a strange gaze that made him feel cold.

  Being stared at by this strange gaze, Bai Jue couldn't help but tremble.

  Although he felt that the girl was stronger in strength, but for some reason, this boy was more dangerous than him.

   This man and woman are exactly Shiraishi and Liuli.

   "Hello, how are you all?"

  Bai Jue tried his best to use exaggerated funny art to adjust the cold atmosphere of the scene and reduce his inner tension by the way.

   Bai Shi and Liu Li ignored Bai Jue's exaggerated and deliberately funny behavior.

  After the atmosphere cooled down, Shiraishi turned to Liuli and said:

   "Since I got a living this time, I'm going to use the technique of spiritualization to possess this guy's spiritual world and get his information from the inside. I'll leave my body to you."

  Seeing Liuli nodding seriously, Baishi immediately formed a mudra with his hands, closed his eyes, and then his body glowed, and an illusory human body that looked exactly like Baishi floated in midair.

   This illusory human body is Baishi's soul.

  After his soul came out, Bai Shi ignored Bai Jue's struggling body, and rushed directly towards Bai Jue's body, overlapping with his body, and connecting with Bai Jue's spiritual world.

   Bai Jue, who was sitting on the stone chair, struggled more violently, with cold sweat pouring out of his face.

  But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Baishi's soul possession, preventing Baishi from exploring his spiritual world, all of which were useless struggles.

   Wandering in Bai Jue's spiritual world, Bai Shi found that his soul had entered a completely blank space, and couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.

  When he used the technique of spiritualization to explore the spiritual world of others, the picture presented in front of him was definitely not like this.

   There will always be a part of the memory.

  But... In this empty spiritual world, doesn't this guy have anything in his mind?

  How could there be such a strange creature?

   "Could it be that his memory is not here, but rested on other 'objects'..."

  Although it is a bit unbelievable, this seems to be the only answer.

  Even animals without intelligence have their own spiritual world, and their spiritual world is not blank.

   Therefore, Baishi can conclude that the memory leading to the root of this white creature is sealed elsewhere.

  Baishi was about to leave when a huge scarlet pupil suddenly appeared in the empty spiritual world.

  A powerful chakra that Shiraishi had never felt hit his face.

   Cold, dark.

  I seem to be a flat boat in a tsunami, in danger of capsizing at any time.

   "Sharingan...how is that possible!?"

   Baishi was the first to turn pale with shock.

  The huge scarlet pupils and the three symbolic black hook jades are obviously enlarged versions of Sharingan.

  The dark and curse-filled pupil power was stronger than the oppressive feeling Liuli brought him.

  —Outside, Bai Jue suddenly roared loudly, his face was distorted and ferocious, and countless bloodshots were split in his eyeballs, as if they might explode at any time.

   Bai Shi's illusory spirit body quickly detached from Bai Jue's body and returned to his own body.

  When he returned to his body, his face was already covered with cold sweat. Looking at Bai Jue who was yelling wildly there, he stood there with a pale face, without saying a word.

  Finally, the yelling stopped abruptly, Bai Jue kept his mouth open to the maximum, sat motionless on the stone chair, his eyeballs were turned upwards to the limit, he was already dead.

"What's wrong?"

   Liuli didn't know what Baishi had experienced just now, and there was a concern in her tone, and helped him sit aside.

  After sitting down, Shiraishi's fingers on the armrest were trembling slightly, as if he was still in shock.

   After a long time, his voice was hoarse, and he struggled to utter a sentence:

   "Sharingan..."

   "Sharingan?"

   "Sharingan's pupil power is stronger than yours... What a monster..."

   Speaking of this, Baishi slowly closed his eyes, as if he hadn't recovered from the previous horror.

  Hearing Baishi's key information, Liuli frowned tightly.

   "You mean, you encountered the illusion of Sharingan in this guy's spiritual world?"

   "Yes, the other party's Sharingan illusion is very strong, at least I have never seen such a terrible Sharingan..."

   Baishi opened his eyes again, glanced at Liuli, nodded and said.

   His words naturally included Liuli.

  The opponent's use of Sharingan is much higher than that of Liuli.

   "I know the strength of those people very well. I dare not say that my pupil power is the strongest among the Uchihas today, but the Sharingan that can match me must not exceed two pairs."

   "But the fact is that, in this guy's spiritual world, the person who set up the illusion of writing sharing eyes has far more pupil power than you."

   Shiraishi didn't want to hurt Liuli's self-confidence, but this was the fact.

  Hearing Baishi's repeated affirmation of this point, Liuli also knew that she was making trouble for no reason, so she calmed down and thought.

  But no matter how I think about it, I can't guess who in the Uchiha clan today has the power of Sharingan pupils that can surpass her.

   "It seems that I guessed wrong from the beginning. This level of protection measures not only involves Mutun and Tailed Beast, but also involves Sharingan. The appearance of this guy probably has nothing to do with the village's high-level people... There are other people behind the scenes."

  Baishi exhaled, his eyes full of solemnity.

   Be careful in your actions in the future.

  The Land of Rain will be designated as a restricted area for the time being, to avoid contact with Akatsuki's people again.

  He didn't want to be targeted by enemies with unknown details because of this kind of thing.

  ◎

   "Master Madara, Bai Ze, who was investigating the land of the Uchiha clan, has disappeared."

  In the dark and huge karst cave, a white man emerged from the ground and immediately reported to the old man sitting on the wooden chair.

   "I know, the illusion I set in his mind was triggered, and he was obviously captured."

  The old man's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

   "Won't our intelligence be leaked?"

  Bai Jue was a little worried.

   "No, at the moment the illusion is triggered, another suicide spell will be chained, and that Bai Jue is already dead."

  The old man said calmly.

   "As expected of Madara-sama, it's a pity for that Baijue."

  Bai Jue chuckled, not at all saddened by the death of that Bai Jue.

  Because the meaning of their existence is to serve as a tool for the master to seek profit.

   "Take your hands back from Konoha. I didn't expect such an excellent ninja to appear in the clan after I left, so I can't act rashly."

  The old man's face was full of regret.

   "Do you want to give up monitoring Uchiha like this?"

   "It's not giving up. Wait until the limelight passes, and then try to send Bai Jue. Or wait until the ninja war starts again, it will be a good time."

   After all, among his people, some people have already noticed the traces of Bai Ze. No matter what method he uses, it means that he cannot easily get all the information of the current Uchiha clan in his hands, and carefully select the "spokesperson" that suits his wishes.

  Seeing that the old man was in a bad mood, Bai Jue tactfully got into the soil and disappeared in front of the old man.
