On the forest path of Land of Fire, a team of more than 20 people was traveling at high speed.
Their bodies are strong, their steps are uniform, and every rise and fall is silent, like a group of ghosts blending into the environment.
The leader is none other than Shisui Uchiha.
He had a stern look on his face and scanned the surroundings with his eyes like a hawk, always maintaining the highest level of vigilance. Behind him, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Inabi and other Public Security Department "research students" had a calm aura and sharp eyes. Compared with three months ago, they were completely different.
In the center of the team, who was closely protected, was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking polite, Amado. Behind him were a dozen scientific research assistants who were also wearing white coats.
"Brother Shisui, it's almost Konoha." Uchiha Inabi in the team asked in a low voice, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
These three months, to him, were like a bizarre dream.
He even felt that the life he lived before was not a ninja life at all, but a tribal conflict among primitive people.
What is fighting?
Holding Kunai and clinking and chopping each other, is that called fighting? That's called blacksmithing!
What is intelligence?
If you send someone to spy on someone, is that called intelligence? That's called a hooligan!
The real battle is to activate "Inertial Deflection Armor Belt", while resisting the enemy's attack, and use "Sonic Vibration Blade" to cut the enemy in half with his moves!
The real intelligence is to release a "single-soldier drone" to clearly see the enemy village's defense map, women's bathhouse... well, important facilities from a thousand meters altitude!
"Well, continue to be vigilant!" Shisui Uchiha replied calmly, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at a rock on the side of the road.
Almost at the same time, Uchiha Itachi behind him also moved his eyes slightly.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
Three special Kunais with weak Chakra attached were shot out from the hands of Shisui and Itachi in the shape of glyphs, and were accurately nailed behind the rock.
With a muffled groan, three ninjas wearing Iwagakure vests rolled out from behind the rock, each with a Kunai stuck in their throats, and they were killed on the spot.
The whole process went so smoothly that no one else in the team even reacted.
"Iwagakure's spy?" Uchiha Inabi leaned over and took a look, curled his lips, and there was a trace of... disdain in his eyes.
"It's so primitive." He shook his head and sighed in a tone of experience, "How is this level of hiding in front of our thermal imaging detector different from the Fire Fly insect in the dark?"
A Public Security Department member next to him nodded with deep understanding. "And you want to make a sneak attack? As long as they have a Chakra Landmine, our captain will have to take a high look at them."
"..."
Amado, who was protected in the middle, pushed up his glasses and listened to the Versailles-like conversation of these "graduates" with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
It seems that Chen-kun's theory of "dimensionality reduction attack" has been deeply understood by this group of excellent experimental subjects... oh no, it's the students.
Shisui Uchiha ignored the comments of the team members. He walked to the body and checked it. After confirming that nothing was missing, he made a gesture to everyone.
"Change the route and take a detour from the west. The minister is waiting for us at the predetermined location."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison without any doubts.
In their minds, the "minister's" order is the highest directive.
Half an hour later, the team arrived at an extremely hidden valley.
The place is overgrown with grass and jagged rocks. It looks like an ordinary rocky hill, and even birds rarely pass by.
Shisui stopped in front of a huge mountain wall and formed several extremely complex and fast seals with his hands.
Buzz--
On the surface of the mountain wall, a barrier invisible to the naked eye rippled like water waves. Then, the hard rock turned illusory and transparent like a phantom, revealing a deep and dark metal passage behind it.
A stream of cool air mixed with the smell of disinfectant and metal blew in from the passage.
To have such a huge base perfectly hidden in an entire mountain outside Konoha, the skills of my own minister are really amazing!
"Come in, everyone." Senju Chen was still wearing the simple black uniform, with his hands in his trouser pockets, his expression indifferent, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
Everyone was refreshed and bowed in unison. "Minister!"
Senju Chen's eyes swept over everyone, lingering on each person's face for a moment, and finally landed on Amado, "Amado, you have worked hard all the way. Have you brought all the equipment?"
"Chen-kun, don't worry." Amado adjusted his glasses and took out a lot of scrolls from the backpack behind him, "All the required core production lines and experimental instruments are sealed here. As long as there is sufficient energy, this place can become a second experimental base in less than three days."
Senju Chen nodded, turned around and walked deeper into the base with everyone.
Before Amado arrived, Senju Chen arranged for "foreman" White Zetsu to lead his "brothers" to start transforming this underground base.
In addition to retaining some of the experimental equipment of his previous teacher Orochimaru, this underground base has been basically renovated from the inside out.
On both sides of the passage, there are alloy walls glowing with cold light, and there is an automatic sensor lighting every ten meters, illuminating the road ahead as bright as day.
As we continue to deepen, the space suddenly opens up.
A huge underground space that can accommodate thousands of people appears in front of everyone!
The towering dome, layers of ring-shaped platforms, and countless intricate metal pipes and lines are coiled on the walls and ceiling like giant pythons, forming a shocking picture full of post-modern industrial beauty.
"From today on, this is the future technical core of our Public Security Department, and even the entire Konoha."
"I named it--'Hive'."
Hive?
Everyone chewed on this name, and their eyes gradually lit up.
The worker bees collect resources outside, and Hive brews sweetness inside. They are the future worker bees, and this is the nest that will brew "power" for Konoha!
"Shisui, Yamato, you two lead everyone to liberate the equipment according to the predetermined drawings." Senju Chen named him.
"Yes, Minister" Shisui Uchiha and Yamato replied.
The two of them took the order and immediately dispersed with the team members behind them. Each took out the seal scroll and unfolded it on the open platform.
"Solution!"
"Solution"
"Solution"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of huge smoke explosions, like dozens of smoke bombs detonating in the open space!
The smoke dissipated, and huge instruments with shining metallic luster and intricate shapes appeared out of thin air on the platform.
There is the "clone culture tank" they are familiar with, the "high-precision etching machine" used to manufacture Scientific Ninja Tool, and the "Chakra energy conversion furnace" that is like a small hill...
These are all reproduced from the Land of Waterfalls experimental base!
"Okay, you ninjas can go aside and rest."
Amado walked up at this time, clapped his hands, and said to the scientific research assistant behind him, "Children, it's time for us to work. Install these 'toys' in the eyes of primitive people in the correct position!"
"Yes, Mr. Amado!"
The scientific research assistants immediately stepped forward, each with a drawing in hand, rushed to the instruments, and began to carry out intense and orderly debugging and installation work.
They were mumbling all kinds of professional terms that Shisui Uchiha couldn't understand at all, and their hands were flying up and down on the complicated control panel. Their concentration and fanaticism were no less than that of ninjas fighting on the battlefield.
At this moment, Shisui Uchiha and the elites of the Public Security Department clearly know that the future of Konoha, and even the pattern of Shinobi World in the future, will start from here, and completely change from this underground base.
