The New Year is approaching, and the taste of the New Year is getting heavier and heavier. However, even when the end of the year is approaching, there is a place where the New Year is not taken into account at all.

At this time, Sarutobi learned from the security department that many people were missing in Konoha.

It's almost the New Year, but there are still such problems. In this regard, this issue has been taken very seriously.

Because it was something that happened in the village, and it was very likely that it was done by ninjas. Therefore, in this mission, Sarutobi specially dispatched Shangnin to investigate, and it is necessary to arrest the prisoner as soon as possible.

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, these are the missing addresses and identities of the victims, you can make a reference!" Taking a puff of smoke from his pipe, Ape Fei said with a solemn expression.

"Then let's go first!" Taking the map of Ape Fei, Jiraiya nodded and said.

"Go ahead!"

After that, in the conference room under the Hokage's office, the three of them took a map and began to look at it.

"No pattern!" After watching it for a few minutes, Orochimaru said lightly: "The other party has realized this kind of thing and has taken precautions." ”

"The law of the victim's accident location cannot be seen clearly, so let's start with the identity of the victim!" Here, Tsunade suggested.

"I'll take a look at ......," Jiraiya said, laying all the victims' messages flat on the conference table.

After a while, Jiraiya looked up and said, "Looking at the victim's message, it doesn't seem that they are all civilian ninjas?!" ”

"There are all kinds of blood inheritance limits, and the other party has a choice to commit crimes, and his purpose is the blood inheritance limit." A flash of inspiration flashed in Orochimaru's heart, and he said, "Perhaps, I already know something......

"What? You already know? Jiraiya wondered.

"Know what?" Tsunade asked.

"The roots of the predecessors of the group are responsible for many unsightly things in Konoha. This style of studying the blood inheritance limit ......" Speaking of this, Orochimaru did not continue. He imagined that Jiraiya and Tsunade both understood.

"No, it won't!" With a solemn look on his face, he subconsciously denied it.

"We don't have the right to investigate such a thing as the root, let's ask for a free search warrant from the three generations!" Tsunade suggested.

After that, they went upstairs to get a search warrant, and the three of them set off and went to the base camp of the roots.

"Roots! What a mysterious place! Walking quietly in a dimly lit passage where no one was around, Jiraiya sighed.

"Isn't there anyone at the roots?" Looking around, Tsunade noticed something strange.

"Maybe it's the New Year, let's go home!" Looking at this quiet state, Jiraiya guessed.

"Impossible! It can't be no one! Orochimaru denied: "Although I didn't join the roots, I still know a little bit about the situation in this department." ”

"The Roots, whose full name is the Dark Ministry Youth Training Institute, is a department that specializes in training preparatory Dark Ninjas. Of course, that's what it does. But, secretly, the roots have much more to do than that. ”

"What does it master?" Jiraiya asked.

"I don't know, it's my first time here, and I won't say anything if there is no basis for speculation. Anyway, the roots are definitely not as peaceful as they seem. ”

"Cluck~squeak~" Here, Jiraiya pushed open an iron door. Then, peering inside, he shook his head at the other two.

"It's too inefficient!" Shaking his head, Orochimaru said, "This underground space is incomparably huge, and if the enemy hides from us, we have no way at all. ”

"What then?" Looking at the pitch-black passage, Jiraiya said: "In this kind of place, the perception of the toad cannot be extended at all, and on the four sides of the passage, there seems to be an enchantment blessing on it. ”

"Let's use the primitive method!" Shaking his head, the Great Snake Pill channeled a large number of small snakes.

"This ...... This is ......" Watching the dense small snakes scatter away, Tsunade's scalp was a little numb.

"This snake mainly relies on thermal imaging and smell to track its prey. I don't need to say much about the smell, I didn't prepare the clothes of the missing person in advance, so I didn't need it, it was my mistake. ”

"Now, relying on thermal imaging to search for the enemy, this is the only way we can do it." As he spoke, the three of them strolled and waited for the little snake's reply.

"Over there! Come with me! Suddenly, Orochimaru was stunned and began to run. And Jiraiya and Tsunade, they didn't hesitate and followed.

After that, it was obvious that they were going deeper and deeper.

"Is this it?" Looking at the steel gate in front of him, Jiraiya asked.

"Yes!" Sensing the position of the little snake, Orochimaru nodded.

"That's good! Ninja - the art of sudden opening! In an instant, his hands were sealed, and the steel gate in front of Jiraiya made a sound of organ activity.

After that, as soon as they pushed in, the situation inside the door was reflected in the eyes of the three of them.

"This ...... It's ......" Looking at the huge glass cans in front of him, Tsunade muttered, "It's really the roots, they're all here!" ”

At this time, on the information provided by Ape Fei Ri Slash, those who are missing can be found here.

Except for the people of the Uchiha clan and the Thousand Hands clan, most of the members of the Konoha Blood Inheritance Limit Realm family can be seen here.

"Is it the work of the predecessors of the group?" Jiraiya speculated.

"Let's not talk about this yet, there is someone in front!" Orochimaru whispered.

At this time, the three of them encountered a living person for the first time since entering the roots. In this regard, the three of them couldn't help but strengthen their vigilance.

After that, I walked through the area of canned human bodies, and Zilai also pushed open the door at the end of the area.

"Bang dang!" With a loud bang, the three of them rushed inside, and began to be wary of one of the people in the room.

And here, the person who was doing something in the room, he was directly stunned by this change.

However, he was only stunned for a moment, and after seeing the other party's face, the man instantly understood something, and he looked at the other party quietly.

"Are you...... Beryuhu! Looking at the man in front of him, Tsunade exclaimed.

That's right! Now, in the depths of the roots, the man they met was one of the disciples of the Konoha Thirteen Shinobi, who was also the Konoha Thirteen Shinobi.

"Long time no see, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru!" The man greeted.

"Beiliuhu, the people outside were all captured by you?" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked straight to the point.

"At this point, I have nothing to deny. That's right! I caught them. Beryuhu said lightly.
