Chapter 142 Flaw

Chapter 142 Flaw

To humans, the word "swamp" usually means infectious diseases, parasites and mysterious disappearances.

But for a rich variety of animals, this wetland environment is often an excellent place to thrive.

However, the Shikkotsu Forest, the largest swamp in the ninja world, was a complete surprise.

The Shikkotsu Forest is an unsuitable place for survival for both humans and ordinary animals.

There is no life or greenery here. It is completely composed of purple mud and countless gray puddles. Even the air has a smell of sulfur that makes breathing difficult.

The Great Slug Sage is the only settled creature in the Shikkotsu Forest. Its body is like a ball of blue-white jelly soaked in cranberry sauce, and two-thirds of its body is buried in the center of this dead land.

However, even so, its exposed body is still a head taller than when Nine-Tails is squatting (not counting the erect tail).

It is conceivable that with such a big body, even a slight movement of position will consume a huge amount of energy, so the Great Sage Slug has not really moved for a long time. It has long since fallen into a deep sleep, and only relies on its own split body to wander around in the waters of the ninja world.

At this time, one of its split bodies was standing in a huge snake skull not far from the main body with Kocho Shinobu who had come with the help of Reverse Summoning technique.

This was the place where Katsuyu had chosen to entertain its guests.

"I haven't had a guest here for many years! You are the first human being to come here after the Uzumaki clan disappeared!"

The voice of Katsuyu was very enthusiastic, like an empty nester who had not interacted with anyone for a whole year, but It just happened to have a soft, girly voice.

"Is the environment a little too monotonous? I have thought about using acid to carve out some patterns on the walls of the living room, but all the decoration magazines I collected have been corroded..."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. I think this primitive and desolate scenery is quite shocking. If it is deliberately modified, it will destroy this natural sense of harmony."

Kocho Shinobu praised it while walking to the edge of Shikkotsu Forest. She looked up at the mountain-like body of Katsuyu over there, secretly sighing at the wonder of this world.

The largest animal on earth, the whale, is just a small pet compared to a slug.

Even among the prehistoric dinosaurs that Europeans highly tout, few can exceed the size of this snake's skull.

Even the beasts Kyojuro tamed to protect the refugees in the Land of Rain were at least the size of elephants.

If there are such giant beings everywhere in nature, it is no wonder that humans want to learn ninjutsu from the Sage of Six Paths to strengthen themselves.

"But the feeling of this skeleton..."

She touched the inner wall of the house-sized skull: "It seems to be very new?"

"You can see it! The previous living room has been left here for too long and has been eroded by the air. It was badly corroded and a bit tattered. I thought it would be impolite to use it to greet guests."

Katsuyu shook its tentacles, "So I specially split a large piece of my body and wrapped it with the bones of Manda that I brought back here. This guy's bone density is far higher than that of other summoning snake clan members, and he can persist here for at least five or six hundred years."

"I see. You've troubled yourself, but you've thought so carefully."

When Giyu dealt with Manda he had opened the Sharingan, so Kocho Shinobu had some impressions of the latter. "It seems that even for a powerful creature like Manda, this world is quite dangerous." Then she changed her voice and said, "Katsuyu, in the ninja world, there shouldn't be a being bigger than you, right?"

"There shouldn't be any now."

Katsuyu replied somewhat proudly: "White Snake Sage is said to be integrated with the mountains, although it looks like It's big, but that's only in terms of length. In terms of volume, it's less than half of mine. After all, it usually has to worry about a lot of attributes, and it inevitably consumes a lot of energy..."

"Not now?" Kocho Shinobu grasped the point, and asked with some surprise: "Did a being bigger than you existed before?"

A creature bigger than a slug?

She simply couldn't imagine what it was like.

"Yeah. Around the time before Chakra was born, deep in this land, A giant tree grew that was taller than the snow-capped mountains. When the weather is good, you can see its crown even from here... ..."

Great Slug Sage said while recalling: "But I was not really a Sage at that time. After I felt this energy called Chakra for the first time, I naturally understood the method of how to mix it with natural energy, and then I fell into a long sleep. When the Uzumaki clan members who settled nearby later woke me up, two or three hundred years had already passed, and the tree was gone. Interesting things like the Sage of Six Paths and the Tailed Beast were almost gone. I missed everything…"

"But even now, compared to the life scale of that tree, I am just an ordinary little thing."

When mentioning the tree, Katsuyu spoke in a very humble tone.

"The deepest part of this land? "

Kocho Shinobu put her index finger on her chin, her eyes flickering suspiciously, "Is it the place where the Kingdom of Wind continues to the west?

"I don't like to go to places that are too dry, so I'm not familiar with the world over there. But it should probably be pretty good. "

"That's it. "

Kocho Shinobu recalled the map of the ninja world," but Orochimaru's notes said that he saw rumors from ancient books that the secrets of the Sage of Six Paths were hidden in that area, so he went to investigate. But with his vitality, he could only hold on there for less than half a day before he had to return in disgrace."

"He wrote like this: The possibility of a creature drinking freely in magma is much greater than the possibility of surviving in that place. There is no grass growing, even the oxygen is pitiful, and the environment is so harsh that it is like an alien place in a fantasy. On the star... it's hard to imagine that such a big tree can be supported in that dead land."

"Perhaps you have mistaken the causal relationship."

Katsuyu thought for a while and said, "It's not that a giant tree appeared in the dead land. The appearance of the giant tree, rather than the tree, might turn that place into a dead land..."

"It is possible."

Glancing at the environment where the slugs live, Kocho Shinobu nodded in confusion, and then smiled with emotion: "It sounds like an unsolved mystery. It makes me want to go there and find out."

Such a world is simply perfect. There is nothing better than it for someone driven by curiosity like her.

"When you grow older and have the vitality of Master Hashirama, you may be able to take risks." Katsuyu said pertinently: "The White Snake Sage fused its body with inorganic matter for this reason. The secret of the Sage of Six Paths is also spread among the Sages. Orochimaru will know about this, maybe it is the result of the guidance of the White Snake Sage."

Kocho Shinobu pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic as if she thought of something: "Speaking of Senju Hashirama, do you know him very well?"

"Hashirama-sama is actually not as mysterious as human rumors say. He is a very ordinary person. It is not difficult for any intelligent creature to understand him."

Katsuyu circled its tentacles and said with a hint of ridicule, "But so far away from Konoha, there are human beings with almost exactly the same chakra as him. It seems that I don't really understand him."

The implication is, Besides Uzumaki Mito, Senju Hashirama might have had offspring with another woman.

"..."

Kocho Shinobu was speechless for a while, but she couldn't explain this kind of thing.

According to the results of her test at Orochimaru's base - the genetic similarity between her and Senju Hashirama was only slightly less than that of identical twins, which led Yakushi Kabuto to suspect that she was an artificial human created by Orochimaru using Hashirama's cells, otherwise it would be impossible for such data to appear.

Seemingly seeing the confusion of Kocho Shinobu, Katsuyu stopped causing trouble: "Okay, what do you want to know about Hashirama-sama? I can tell you!"

Kocho Shinobu thought about what she had not done the day before. I didn't feel anything wrong even if I ate or not, so I asked in a probing manner: "I only need to eat something after two or three days. Is this also because of the Wood Release?"

"That's not just the function of the Wood Release. The Wood Release is Lord Hashirama's unique bloodline limit. In the entire history of the ninja world, he seems to be the only one who can use this ability naturally, and you are the second one."

Katsuyu corrected: "As for the body that can satisfy its own nutrition And resilience, this is the unique feature of the Senju clan, not Lord Hashirama alone. It can be regarded as another kind of Bloodline limit. Because this kind of physique can make absorbing natural energy easy, so I call it Sage."

"The relationship between the Wood Release and the Sage Human Body is mutually reinforcing, making Lord Hashirama's vitality particularly tenacious. In comparison, Tobirama-sama and Tsunade-sama neither have Wood Release nor have they completely inherited the body of a sage, so their vitality level is much different..."

"So that's it. "

Kocho Shinobu blinked. This part wasn't mentioned in Giyu's textbook. It seemed as if Wood Release was the foundation of the Senju Clan. I don't know if it was intentional.

[There are more than a hundred words written about Rinnegan...]

On second thought, the author of that book is Senju Tobirama, so there seems to be nothing surprising.

"The body of a Sage, at first glance I thought it was the same as the Sage of Six Paths. What does it matter? "

She still remembered that the leader of the Kingdom of Rain named Pain had a pair of "Sage eyes." But depending on what Katsuyu meant, this Sage was not the other.

Katsuyu continued to popularize science: "Actually, it's more than just that. Lord Hashirama's clan, the Uzumaki clan, also have similar bodies, but their focus is different from that of the Senju clan - "The Senju clan is stronger and good at overcoming bad environments; the Uzumaki clan has longer lifespans and is good at creating a comfortable environment, the main difference is this."

[In that case, doesn't the man named Pain possess both the "Sage body" and the "Sage eyes"? No wonder Kyojuro said that he may be the strongest ninja in the world...]

"I see. Although it is a very powerful and convenient body, it always feels a little weird without eating."

Kocho Shinobu entwined her fingers in her hair, she suddenly asked with some vigilance: "By the way, since Senju Hashirama does not need to supplement nutrition from the outside world...then did he grow very tall?"

The Konoha Ninja School textbooks do not explain these too personal things, which can easily undermine the great man. A sense of mystery about you.

"His height was just ordinary. Lord Hashirama is not considered tall among humans, and he is far behind compared to Raikage."

Katsuyu was a little confused, why Kocho Shinobu didn't ask important questions about Senju Hashirama who was suspected of being her ancestor. But asked a seemingly unimportant question that only fans would ask.

[ The energy generated by the body itself is only used to maintain survival, but it does not make it 'perfect'. ]

Kocho Shinobu frowned a little worriedly, [So if I want to grow taller, I still need to supplement nutrition from the outside. ]

But the problem is that she is always full and has no appetite for eating or drinking.

At least the meals cooked in Orochimaru's base gave her no appetite at all, let alone greasy things like calcium-rich bone broth.

She would rather save time and do more experiments.

[Could it be made into nutritional medicine and injected directly into the body? Maybe this is the way...]

"You are still so young, so there is no need to worry about this!"

Katsuyu kindly comforted: "It's not too late to consider these things when you reach puberty. Will girls grow very tall? Generally, You can see the clues when you are eleven or twelve years old."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this..."

Kocho Shinobu's face turned red with embarrassment, but she didn't expect that it would say what was in her heart without knowing it. .

[Could it be that slugs look too harmless?]

"Let's get down to business next. Damn, could you please use the reverse summoning technique to call Giyu here?"

Kocho Shinobu looked serious. After all, this was the purpose of her visit: "He was there that day. There was no news after leaving at night, and Kyojuro and I were very worried. Giyu doesn't have his own crow beside him, and if we want to take the initiative to contact him, the only way we can contact him is through you."

"No problem, but if he is fighting or... Doing something important..." Katsuyu thoughtfully reminded her, "Would it be a little inconvenient?"

Generally speaking, reverse summoning can only be used with the consent of the other party.

Otherwise, if the subject is taking a bath or going to the toilet, it will be awkward to summon the other party over.

"Then just remove the reverse summoning technique immediately."

Kocho Shinobu said without hesitation or hesitation, "Confirming his safety is more important than anything else right now. I don't know how long it will take until he takes the initiative to contact us. I still have many things to do. There are important things to do, and if I keep worrying about his safety, I won't be able to calm down..."

Besides, as a doctor, she has seen so many so-called embarrassing scenes that she has long been indifferent to them.

And Giyu is not someone who will be affected by the emotion of embarrassment.

"Okay. I understand."

Katsuyu fell silent, swung its tentacles and began to perform the technique.

About two or three seconds later, a cloud of smoke exploded in front of Kocho Shinobu. But to her surprise, what appeared before her was a burning aroma that was incompatible with the environment.

The moment this fragrance broke through the corrosive air and entered Kocho Shinobu's nasal cavity, her taste buds that had been dormant for a long time were immediately activated, her throat trembled violently, and she involuntarily completed a swallowing action.

The smoke cleared.

Giyu wore the small apron Itachi had made for him, and looked at Katsuyu and Kocho Shinobu with confusion.

In his right hand, he was carrying a kuaizi that made the sound of hot oil dripping, and in his left hand, he was holding a dinner plate with golden fried pork chops. The portion seemed to be quite large.

As you can imagine, before being summoned by the reverse summoning technique, he had just picked out the cooked pork chops from the pot.

Giyu didn't speak, as if he was waiting for Kocho Shinobu to explain why he was called here.

"..."

After a brief silence, Kocho Shinobu smiled and said: "What a good luck. Is this dish prepared for me?"

Her eyes were fixed on the plate of golden fried pork chops, which looked like a very beautiful dish.

"No. How did I know you would call me?"

Giyu shook his head and told the truth bluntly, "But it doesn't matter if you want to eat. I'll just make it when I get back."

Anyway, I still need to make the soup my mother ordered. After stewing for a while longer, it would be enough time for him to fry the pork chops again, but his father might have to wait a little longer.

Of course, the premise is that Kocho Shinobu lets him go back in time.

"Since you said so, I won't be polite."

Kocho Shinobu's eyes lit up, and without even a polite refusal, she reached out and snatched away the dishes and tachyons at the speed of a lizard.

"I haven't eaten for several days, but I suddenly have an appetite after smelling it!"

[It feels like something only Kanroji would say...]

Giyu cleverly just complained secretly in his mind, silently watching Kocho Shinobu Taste the extra delicious food he prepared for his father.

"Hmm..."

Picking up a shimmering piece of pork chop and putting it into her mouth, Kocho Shinobu felt that her stomach, which had been sleeping like a stone since her resurrection, seemed to suddenly wake up, and all her senses became extremely active.

She never thought that this kind of heavy oily and flavorful dish, which she would never touch in the past, could be so delicious!

Kocho Shinobu ate quickly, bite by bite, not rudely, but very quickly.

In less than five minutes, the extra-large fried pork chop that Giyu prepared for his father had been eaten completely, not even the noodle residue left on the plate.

"Hey, you didn't leave some for me?" Katsuyu probed its tentacles, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Ah, I didn't know you ate cooked food..." Kocho Shinobu covered her mouth in shame, "Sorry, I'll make it up to you later!"

Not to mention sharing it with others, she wanted to eat another plate herself.

"I'm just kidding," said Katsuyu.

"But you don't have to be surprised. Although Mr. Hashirama doesn't need to eat, every time he comes out of the casino, he will eat and drink to forget the trouble of losing money."

"It's just that the energy he gets from food is minimal after all. Probably, for him, eating is more like a recreational activity..."

" When you say that...it seems that he feels a lot better. "

Kocho Shinobu placed the tachyon on the plate and let out a long breath, "No wonder many stressed people eat several times a day. Who would have thought that eating can also be used to soothe emotions? "

"You were in a bad mood before..."

Giyu asked alertly.

"Did the reversal of Orochimaru's experiment not go well?"

"Well, it is difficult to judge whether those people who have been implanted with wood release cells are humans or trees, dead or alive, and there is no way to start."

"I turned the base upside down and couldn't find any data on paper for reference. I estimate that most of this part of the content is buried in Orochimaru's own head, and it is also an absolute secret to him."

Kocho Shinobu nodded, "And the other group of half-human, half-monster patients are also in trouble... According to Yakushi Kabuto, they all accepted the curse seal planted by Orochimaru."

"Curse seal? That's it?"

Giyu touched the back of his neck, and his face suddenly became tense.

"Unlike the 'Heaven's Curse Seal' on your neck, the curse seals he planted on those people are lower-level and more unstable. Not to mention the patients whose bodies have turned into monsters even those whose bodies have not been transformed, After waking up, they all showed a strong desire to attack, just like-"

Kocho Shinobu didn't finish the sentence, but Giyu automatically connected the remaining words in his mind.

[It's like a demon that has just been transformed by Kibutsuji Muzan. ]

"I specifically asked Katsuyu to call you here. On the one hand, it is to confirm your safety."

When she said the first half of the sentence, Kocho Shinobu's eyes were a bit reproachful, "On the other hand, I also want to know from you what role this curse seal plays? How does it make the host stronger? Knowing its actual Function, it may be helpful in reversing Orochimaru's experiment."

After hearing this, Giyu was not in a hurry to go back. After thinking for a while, he began to describe his feelings when he was covered by the curse seal.

After a minute, Kocho Shinobu finally understood.

"You mean, this thing can automatically absorb natural energy and synthesize the sage chakra that Katsuyu mentioned?"

"Yes, the part synthesized from the curse seal..." Giyu glanced at Katsuyu and quoted the term by the way, "Senjutsu Chakra is different from the one I synthesized myself. Its nature is more violent, as if it has extra consciousness, and it can affect the host's brain like the Sharingan at a glance, making people become ferocious and aggressive. But I can use Transparent World to avoid its side effects."

"Extra consciousness, this is not a good thing."

Kocho Shinobu rubbed her knuckles on her chin repeatedly, "But since the function of the curse seal is to create chakra, then I use the wood release to absorb it..."

"The risk is too great."

Giyu shook his head, "You have not mastered the transparent world, and there is no guarantee that you can control the sage chakra in your body. If you are affected by it, you will become violent or mutation caused by the imbalance of chakra and natural energy, the consequences are immeasurable."

"But if we don't do something, those people will die sooner or later."

Kocho Shinobu became impatient, and the time left for her wasn't too much after all.

In order to master the transparent world, even Kyojuro, who has amazing intuition, spent three years. Based on her academic understanding of sword skills, it is estimated that there will be no progress in another ten years.

"..."

Giyu thought for a while, "I don't understand those profound things. But if you need relevant experimental information, maybe I can get it for you."

"What do you mean?" Kocho Shinobu was surprised and confused.

Fortunately, She can still learn the knowledge of dead Orochimaru and solve the problems of these people.

What's surprising is that there are other people in the world conducting similar experiments?

"That Shimura Danzo, he has an arm made of wood release cells. There should be information related to the wood release experiment at the root."

Giyu recalled with his eyebrows pressed: "And when he was fighting the night before yesterday, as soon as he saw me in curse seal state, he discovered the origin of my curse seal, so Konoha should at least have some understanding of this thing."

"Wait a minute..."

Kocho Shinobu raised her eyebrows fiercely when she heard this, "After you go back, Have you entered that state again?"

After saying that, she walked up directly without waiting for Giyu's answer, took off the gauze on the latter's left eye and observed it carefully.

"It's finally getting better..." She opened Giyu's upper and lower eyelids with her fingers and carefully checked the number of bloodshot eyes on the whites of his eyes. "Now it's getting serious again."

Then she grabbed Giyu's wrist and pulled it. She conducted a pulse diagnosis with a serious face: "Sure enough, that curse seal has greatly squeezed your body. Your current situation is worse than when you left here."

"The situation was very urgent at the time, and I had to do this."

Giyu withdrew his hand apologetically, "I'll have a good rest later."

Kocho Shinobu nodded with satisfaction: "Don't do strenuous activities for at least a week, got it?"

"Okay."

Although Giyu nodded in agreement, Kocho Shinobu was still a little worried, and an idea came to her in a flash: "By the way, in addition to the experimental materials, I also have some things to ask you to do."

"What is it?"

"Help me collect information from the Leaf Village. As well as the price data of food, cloth and other daily necessities as well as medical equipment and drugs in the Fire Country, be as comprehensive as possible."

Kocho Shinobu thought while making arrangements: "Besides, you can go to the orphanage in the Fire Country and take a look around and see if there is anything you can refer to about the conditions and management methods there. These children in the resettlement base should be of use later."

"I will pay attention." Giyu wrote down these tasks and asked, "Is that all?"

"Right now, En(crow) hasn't learned how to use chakra, so she can't be a Summoning beast. Kanane detective ability is very necessary for Kyojuro."

Kocho Shinobu said: "Let's make an appointment. Let's meet here once every night, you give me the things you collected, and I will assign you new tasks."

In this way, she can keep Giyu busy without causing any physical burden, and she can also Diagnose the condition of his body's recovery every day.

"Okay." Giyu didn't notice anything wrong. On the contrary, Kocho Shinobu arranged work for him, which was exactly what he wanted.

Otherwise, while his companions are busy while he rests at home, he always feels very unhappy.

Just when Kocho Shinobu wanted to continue chatting with Giyu about Shimura Danzo, Giyu quickly glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist.

"Have you finished speaking?" He raised his head and asked seriously.

[ Calculate the time, if I don't go back, lunch won't be served on time. ]

"..." Kocho Shinobuy suppressed a smile on her face, and clenched her fists unconsciously, "What, do you hate talking to me?"

"There is no such thing."

Giyu shook his head, "Even if it's Talking about serious topics, I feel very relaxed every time I'm with you. This is a feeling I've never had when talking to others. Even when I'm with Tanjiro and the others, I rarely feel like this."

"You..." Kocho Shinobu was a little stunned. Although she was slightly moved, she always felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

It seemed like I had experienced something similar not long ago.

Giyu continued.

"Although you always get inexplicably angry mid-sentence, and the blue veins on your forehead look scarier than the upper moon demon, which makes people very confused..."

[Because even those who are prettier than you are no longer alive. ]

"But I still-"

"Katsuyu!"

The Great Slug Sage, who has followed Tsunade for many years, immediately understood.

"Giyu, if you encounter anything interesting, remember to call me out! Goodbye!"

After Katsuyu said Goodbye, Giyu's eyes flashed. When he saw clearly again, he realized that he was back in his own kitchen.

"Obviously I haven't finished speaking yet..."

With a small grunt, Giyu noticed that his hands were empty and had to take out a pair of tachyons from the drawer again. "I didn't even have time to take back the plate."

He opened the stew pot. He took off the lid of the pot and poked the beef inside with his tachyon, "It seems it will take a while -"

In the middle of the sentence, Giyu suddenly turned his head without warning, just in time to make eye contact with Sasuke who poked his head into the kitchen.

Sasuke, who came to peek, was shocked. He quickly pointed to his feet and said, "You see clearly, I'm standing here, I didn't go in at all!"

He still remembers the reason why Giyu opened his eyes, it was Itachi who entered his kitchen.

"..." Giyu showed his half-moon eyes speechlessly, "What's the matter?"

"Dad asked me to come." Sasuke explained: "He wanted to ask you if today's fried pork cutlet is ready? If there is no seasoning If you want to add it, can you make it taste like the last New Year..."

As he said, he glanced at the dishes placed on the eucalyptus board and sniffed: "Strange, I just smelled the smell of pork chops, why? Haven't you started cooking it yet?"

"It's okay to do it now." Giyu pointed to the refrigerator, "I want to watch the fire, and you go check to see if there are any cut pork chops in the lower shelf."

"Hey, I can actually do it. Can I really come in?" Sasuke was overjoyed.

"Just don't touch the things I have here." Giyu turned around, added some ingredients to the soup, and then stared at the flames on the stove and the bubbles in the pot intently.

Only when the heat is just right can the meat quality reach the balance between cooked and tender.

"Let me take a look -"

Sasuke went to the refrigerator and rummaged around, "This is chicken, these are the dumplings that were frozen last time, this is beef patties... Hey, are the pork chops gone? Wait a minute - Why is this thing here?"

Giyu turned his head and noticed that Sasuke pulled out a stack of cards from the bottom of the refrigerator.

It was the recipe that Kakashi Hatake gave him on his birthday that year.

He frowned and walked over, "Why is this thing under the refrigerator?"

He reached out to take the recipe and flipped through it. Giyu noticed that in addition to a conspicuous shoe print on the cover, there was also a deep dent on the side, which was obvious. Someone stepped on this cookbook and then kicked it again, so this thing ended up under the refrigerator.

"I don't know either. Because brother Itachi was taken away that day and he was not at home, I made dinner according to the recipe and put it in the drawer after I finished it." Sasuke also looked confused. "I remember it very clearly. There is no mistake."

"This shoe print..."

Judging from the width, it is that of an adult male. But my father doesn't wear shoes at home.

Giyu suddenly remembered that his mother had said that someone broke into their home and left a message in Itachi's handwriting saying "I won't be going home tonight".

Under Sasuke's puzzled gaze, Giyu immediately turned off the stove, walked quickly to the shoe cabinet outside the entrance, and took out his father's and Itachi's shoes to check the patterns on the soles.

[ It's an outsider! Someone sneaked into the house after that night! ]

Giyu tensed his chin and said to Sasuke with a stern expression: "Sasuke, go ask our parents if there is anything important missing at home!"

"Ah?" Sasuke originally had many questions, but he noticed Giyu's expression was so serious that he immediately went to the Japanese room to inform his parents without asking any questions.

The inspection was completed quickly.

Uchiha Fugaku emerged from the small compartment under the storage room with a gloomy look on his face: "There are no signs of the safe being opened, but the new fire release and genjutsu technique that the clan members have created over the past decades are all gone now."

" There are no traces of chakra on the ground in the yard." Itachi walked in from the yard, "It is unlikely that the other party is an Earth Release infiltrator."

" To sneak in here under the surveillance of so many Sharingans, even Gekko Hayate can't do it."

Uchiha Fugaku thought, and then suddenly raised his head as if he was electrocuted, and quickly exchanged glances with Giyu and his wife.

Obviously, the same answer came to the minds of the three people.

"It's that black monster!"

Giyu held the recipe and remembered the guy who suddenly silenced Danzo when he asked him about "Uchiha Madara".

At that time, the man escaped into the ground without leaving any trace at all.

If it was that guy, he could easily avoid the clan members and sneak into his home. Even a safe with a sealing tag wouldn't be able to stop it.

"Is there anything else that has been touched at home?" Giyu asked, looking into the eyes of his family members.

"I don't think so." It was Itachi who answered, "During your absence, I cleaned the house, and the positions of other things have not changed."

"In other words, there is only the jutsu in the safe and this recipe that is touched?"

Giyu's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was flipping through the cards page by page, "What's so special about it?"

[The stomping and kicking are a sign of personal grudges... Could it be that the other party and the Fourth Hokage have a deep grudge? ]

When he turned to the page with the signature "Uchiha Obito" on the back cover, Sharingan's keen vision noticed that there were obvious wrinkles on this page, as if someone had lost control of his emotions and accidentally removed the card. It seemed like the corners were pushed toward the middle.

[Uchiha Obito, the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato...]

Giyu made up his mind.

During the next period of time, in addition to the tasks assigned to him by Kocho Shinobu, he also wanted to dig into the past of these two people and their relationship with "Uchiha Madara".

Just as the whole family gathered in the Japanese room, thinking about how to deal with the elusive enemy like a ball of black mud, there was a knock on the door of the house.

The knock on the door was heavy and slow, like an old man sighing.

In fact, there was an old man sighing outside the door.

"Fugaku, I am Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Facing the cold gaze of dozens of pairs of Sharingan eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the door of Giyu's house with a black-haired woman holding a pink piglet.

He had dark bags under his eyes and looked haggard, as if he had aged thirty years overnight.

"On behalf of the village, I'm here to talk to you about the future of Uchiha and Konoha."
