Revolution in the Ninja World

"Lord Danzo, over here."

In the intricate underground passageways, two Konoha ninjas led the way.

Following behind them, Shimura Danzo walked neither fast nor slow, unhurried, like... well, like a big shot's pace. Although his harsh face made it difficult to exude the aura of a superior, he was indeed a big shot in Konoha.

After walking for a while and turning a corner, a corpse appeared in front of them. Another team of Root ninjas was guarding the area.

A corpse was just a corpse, and there was nothing surprising about it in theory, but this corpse was special...

Well, particularly fragmented.

"When was it discovered?" Danzo glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and then asked.

"This morning. I found that he hadn't returned on time, so I searched along his patrol route for this mission, and then I found this corpse... The time of death was last night. He should have been killed instantly by some special method," a Root ninja said.

"The enemy left here quickly. This brutal killing effect shouldn't have been intentional. The technique he used is just this type of technique... But I have no idea about a cutting ninjutsu of this power. It seems that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated," Danzo looked at the dense cutting marks all over the walls, ground, and ceiling, and made a relatively accurate judgment.

Habara was a bit nervous at the time. In order to ensure that he killed the enemy, he had been a little excessive when he made his move. Otherwise, this dead Root ninja wouldn't have been cut into so many pieces.

"It's a bit difficult to directly obtain information about the time of death..." another Root ninja said with some difficulty.

Want to know what happened when the deceased died? Sorry, it's physically impossible, because his head was almost turned into tofu, and the kind with various meat toppings added.

"Are there any other anomalies?"

"The underground facility that was previously cleared by the Anbu, a wall in one of the rooms was opened yesterday, but we have no way of knowing what the other party took."

"Then start the investigation from Orochimaru's subordinates, the people related to this underground facility, and the Konoha ninjas who participated in the clearing operation," Danzo said.

There was nothing to say about this. Since the person who appeared here yesterday's main purpose was to take something from the base, then this person was undoubtedly related to this place.

But a correct judgment didn't mean that the action could proceed smoothly. One ninja reminded, "Lord Danzo, this was previously Orochimaru's secret research site, and afterwards it was handed over to the Hokage's direct Anbu... There will be some inconvenience in the investigation."

"Don't worry, someone died. Hiruzen will cooperate," Danzo said, completely unconcerned about the possible resistance.

The way he said it, it seemed to express this meaning – "Although I'm not the Hokage, Konoha is actually my home."

A secluded path by a stream.

Although a cruel murder had unfortunately occurred last night, Habara judged that it was difficult for Konoha to identify the real culprit. Of course, the saying "if you don't want anyone to know, don't do it," applied. Whether Konoha could quickly catch the murderer had nothing to do with Habara, so at this time he boldly came to this place that he had always used for training.

As a combatant, Habara's attack power and defense power were very good, but high attack power didn't mean he could pierce everything, and "absolute defense" was just an exaggeration. It could actually be considered that his attack power and defense power were raw stats piled up. His abilities had greatly improved in a short period of time, but this didn't mean that his qualities as a ninja had greatly improved.

The current Habara couldn't deal with truly strong opponents, so he had to continue to enhance his strength.

And after joining the battlefield several times, Habara could clearly feel his shortcomings... Chakra, this was the usual weakness of all ordinary ninjas.

Although the shortcoming was easy to find, what about the method to improve it?

Habara decided to take stock of what he had.

First was the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths that he had recovered in the Land of Fields. The Kohaku no Johei (Amber Purifying Pot), Shichiseiken (Seven-Star Sword), and Benihisago (Crimson Gourd) were used together. The Crimson Gourd was a very powerful sealing container, theoretically on the same level as the Kohaku no Johei that the Cloud was currently keeping, just with a different method of use.

The Golden Canopy Rope could make abstract concepts materialize, and then the Seven-Star Sword could cut them... To be honest, Habara felt that these three things were not suitable for use in immediate combat.

As for the Bashosen (Banana Palm Fan), it was certainly a powerful offensive treasured tool, but Habara had never used it. Using this thing would consume a huge amount of chakra, which was a bit counterproductive... If Habara had that much chakra, would he still need to use something like the Bashosen?

So, after a brief inventory, it could be found that although the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths were very powerful, Habara couldn't use any of them for the time being.

Then there was the mysterious scroll that Habara had "picked up" last night. Leaving aside the various intelligence-related content about Orochimaru, there were two things about techniques... The research results of "Living Corpse Reincarnation" and the design concept of the "Cursed Seal."

Perhaps Hotaru had been by Orochimaru's side for a long time, or perhaps her spying abilities were outstanding. In short, she was able to obtain these things... To put it bluntly, no wonder Orochimaru wanted to kill her.

Habara certainly couldn't use Living Corpse Reincarnation, but the relevant content was very high-end, making one have to admire Orochimaru's madness... Living Corpse Reincarnation was certainly not a simple matter of extracting the caster's chakra or spirit and then seizing a new body, otherwise it would be too simple.

In fact, it was a transformation ritual that converted all of a person's original chakra and spiritual consciousness into a special energy-information mixed unified entity, and then used this "unified entity" to seize a new body.

In other words, this technique was not a simple spiritual transfer, but actually a complex process of transformation - transfer - reverse transformation.

Habara thought about it for a while, and then he understood this statement. Because when Orochimaru reincarnated, in addition to his original body and his current body, there was also a "white snake" "true form." This corresponded exactly to the content recorded on the scroll.

After reading the contents of this scroll, Habara nodded to express his admiration for Orochimaru's talent, and then re-rolled the scroll and put it away... Living Corpse Reincarnation was very powerful, but useless.

Then Habara looked at the next scroll. The way to quickly enhance his strength, sure enough, there was only this...

The Cursed Seal and the method of using natural energy. This was the clearest path in front of Habara.
