Naruto Scourge

Chapter 361 The Unwrapped Gift

The silver moonlight poured over the wreckage of the building, exuding a trace of coldness and desolation.

The collapsed stone pillar is half buried in the soil, half exposed, covered with moss and mushrooms, I don't know how long it has been here.

Except for the stone pillars that can be clearly identified, the rest are some broken tiles and ruins.

Orochimaru came to the center of the wreckage of the building without saying a word, walked to a stone pillar, squatted down, and stretched out his hands to clean off the moss and mushrooms on it, revealing the uneven and blurred surface of the stone pillar.

Judging from the traces, there should have been some patterns engraved on the stone pillars, but they were destroyed by the years of destruction.

After wiping off the moss on all the visible stone pillars, what appeared were only ordinary stone pillars that couldn't be more ordinary.

Orochimaru patted off the moss residue left on his palm, and said slightly disappointed: "It seems that there is no useful information left."

Ye Zi walked to the center of the ruins on his own, and raised his brows suddenly. He keenly felt a trace of almost imperceptible energy fluctuations.

He closed his eyes, unfolded his perception, the location where the energy fluctuations came from... was at his feet.

Indeed, as Orochimaru said, the feeling of chakra is different, very subtle, if you don't feel it with your heart, you won't even notice the existence of energy.

And... different from the chakra extracted from the body, Ye Zi felt a little danger, as if facing the enemy's chakra, that was the feeling.

"Is it because Orochimaru felt the danger that it didn't easily get in touch with this energy?"

Ye Zi slowly opened his eyes, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Did you feel it?" Orochimaru looked at Ye Zi, who nodded slightly.

"How?" Orochimaru sneered.

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then said, "It's the same as what you said, but...it feels a little dangerous to me."

Wuzhulin, this place used to be where Erwei was, but Orochimaru and Ye Zi didn't know this.

What is certain is that this site is the same as the ruins discovered by Orochimaru in the Kingdom of the Wind, and they all have a trace of undetectable energy fluctuations, hidden deep underground.

"Before you understand it, you can't touch it rashly." The corner of Dashewan's mouth slightly hooked, watching the location where the energy came from, "I'm very curious about it, maybe it has many uses."

Ye Zi didn't speak, but quietly looked at the desolate ground, because he didn't know it, so he didn't dare to touch it rashly, if he didn't feel the danger, I'm afraid he and Orochimaru would immediately dig the sand to find out.

Since it exists, it must be known.

What Orochimaru has to do is to find a way to know it.

Silently remembering this place, the two of them left Wuzhulin without staying here for too long.

The next destination is the Land of Earth.

It took Orochimaru and Ye Zi nearly a month to travel through the land of thunder, and the land of earth is not small, so it is not so easy to travel through it.

The two left the Kingdom of the Moon and embarked on a journey to the Kingdom of the Earth.

at the same time.

The old stronghold built by Ye Zi welcomed a group of uninvited guests, about 40 people, all of them moved vigorously, leaping and crossing in the forest.

Soon, about forty ninjas were scattered around the hidden entrance of the stronghold, all standing on trees.

Every ninja wears a standard long sword, wears the same costume, and wears a mask of a different style. The style of the costume is Konoha Anbe's costume.

These people are the team sent by Danzang.

Half a month ago, they found the location of the stronghold. After ensuring that there were no police posts around the stronghold, they carefully checked all the entrances of the stronghold. The final result was that there was only one entrance.

Naturally, they would not know that for the sake of convenience, Ye Zi sealed up all the extra entrances and covered up the traces, leaving only an inconspicuous entrance.

He also removed the police posts around the stronghold, in order to lower the vigilance of root members.

After root's operation team finished the investigation, they began to monitor the stronghold.

He didn't act immediately because he was worried that Ye Zi might be in the stronghold.

After monitoring for almost 20 days, the entrance of the stronghold has been closed, and no one has entered or exited.

Until today, the captain of the action team finally made up his mind to launch an attack on the stronghold, so everyone came around the stronghold, forming a direct encirclement.

"Test it with the shadow clone first." The captain wearing the green-striped dog mask ordered.

As soon as the words fell, all ten team members separated out a shadow clone.

Ten shadow clones jumped off the tree, broke through the thick wooden door of the stronghold, and entered the stronghold in a wild goose formation.

After entering the door, there is a wide corridor downwards, with wooden floors on all sides, and the feeling of stepping on it is very thick.

The leading root member rushed to the front and remained vigilant, while the rest followed.

At this moment, a small part of the wooden floor stepped on by the leading root member sank, and immediately, the smooth wooden walls on both sides of the corridor suddenly cracked countless square openings, shooting out bursts of shurikens from inside.

The four shadow clones who fell behind were hit by a lot of shurikens without realizing it for a while, and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

The remaining shadow clones did not stop at all, and continued to go deeper, encountering many trigger traps along the way, and lost two more shadow clones.

As it got deeper, the road became more accessible, so the remaining four shadow clones began to explore, keeping the route in their heads.

The entire stronghold occupies a large area, and the bird's-eye view is a square.

The four shadow clones explored similar areas and found that every room had accumulated a little dust, but there was no sign of moving, and there was even a lot of food stored.

Basically all the rooms have been explored, no one has been found, and no useful information has been found. In the end, there is only one big room left that has not been entered.

The four shadow clones drew a simple map based on the explored roads, and the unexplored room was in the middle of the map. There were four gates in total, and a defensive barrier was set on each gate.

The four shadow clones tried to break through the barrier, but the defensive barrier returned to its original state in the blink of an eye, so the four shadow clones returned to the ground after eliminating all the traps.

After the shadow clone is released, the memory fed back to the main body becomes information.

The trap was cleared, but the captain of the action team did not act rashly. The little dust accumulated in the many rooms made him fearful.

However, there is still a room that has not been explored, and every door in that room has a barrier, and the shadow clone failed to break the barrier.

There are the same barriers on the four doors, and they should be broken at the same time to unlock the barriers.

So, what exactly is in the room where the barrier is set?

The leader of the action team thought for a while, and decided to break through the barrier and go into the room to find out.

They accepted the order to come here, even if they got nothing, they couldn't let go of any corner.

"Split into five groups and prepare to enter, and one group stays outside."

The captain of the action team made gestures, and the forty or so ninjas were quickly divided into five teams, and then four teams entered the stronghold, and one stayed outside.

Relying on the shadow clone to rule out the traps and obtain a rough topographical map, the four teams dispersed and soon came to each gate where the enchantment was arranged.

The complicated black tadpole mantras are regularly scattered on the wooden door, exuding traces of chakra fluctuations.

Using a special communication method, the four teams scattered across the four wooden doors broke the barrier at the same time with a slight time difference.

The black tadpole spell disappeared from the door, and before the root members had time to push open the wooden door, the whole stronghold suddenly shook violently.

"trap?"

For a moment, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"Quick back!" The action team leader's face changed dramatically, he drank and ran towards the entrance.

Just when everyone was making a move, the wooden planks above their heads cracked suddenly, and heavy boulders crashed down, crushing the running root members into meatloaf.

When the team staying outside heard the sound and looked up, they all looked shocked.

I saw that the mountain protruding slightly from the ground suddenly collapsed and sank within a few seconds of making a sound, raising waves of smoke and dust.
