Konoha Hypocrite (Part-2)

Chapter 261: Research Project, Cultivating Essence

Two days later, late at night, dim stars were hiding behind a layer of a veil. The moon was appearing and disappearing amid the clouds. A tiny shadow quickly shuttled through the darkness like a black sesame seed flying to the center of the moon. Then, it became larger and larger.

It was a big bird with golden feathers descending towards the ground. And on its back, there was Hatake Kabuto who was holding a glass container. Soon, the big golden bird landed and placed its spread wings on the ground, lowering its head deeply.

A man wearing a white robe was standing in front of it. He was none other than Uchiha Tonan. Kabuto got off the bird while holding the glass container and bowed at Tonan as well. "Tonan-san."

Tonan nodded his head lightly and replied, "If this thing enters the Konoha base camp, it will attract too much attention, so I came to pick you up." Kabuto respectfully replied, "I have troubled you, Tonan-san." Tonan nodded his head again and turned around, walking toward the base camp.

"How are your studies coming along?"

Kabuto followed behind and respectfully answered, "It's good. In the beginning, there were many things I didn't understand. But under Sasori-senpai's patient teaching, I understand almost everything. Now, I've already begun to refine chakra and I've also dabbled a little in human experiments."

Tonan raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Kabuto. He asked, "Really? Are you particularly choosing to study the knowledge of the human body?"

Kabuto adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses and replied, "I want to help you sooner, so I put aside the study of other miscellaneous subjects for the time being. I've also taken care of everything in the laboratory. I can guarantee that I didn't leave any traces."

Tonan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, nothing in this world is difficult if you put your heart into it. As long as you use your heart, you can achieve success in anything. By the way, did Sasori leave?"

Kabuto nodded his head and answered lightly, "Sasori-senpai asked me to tell you that he is going to travel around the Ninja World to look for high-quality materials."

Tonan nodded his head slightly and no longer said anything. With Tonan in the lead, the two of them arrived at the command tent without any obstruction. Afterward, Tonan walked to a corner of the tent and made a series of hand seals.

Then, the soil on the ground spun like a whirlpool, and gradually, a hole appeared. "Go down. The main body is inside." Kabuto nodded his head. Holding the glass container that had Hatake Isan in it, he walked down the stairs. Because this laboratory was built right below the Konoha base camp, to prevent the movement in the laboratory from affecting the ninjas above, Tonan had dug very deep.

Even the walls of the laboratory were filled with countless holes to weaken the sound waves. The stairs didn't go straight down. It was a spiral staircase. Kabuto walked downwards for more than ten minutes before he began to hear faint wailing sounds, coming from below.

"Tonan-sama... I'll be loyal to you... please let me go."

"Don't be so pathetic. In any case, I won't eat you."

"Uh... ah... kill me, kill me!"

"Even ants don't live without purpose. As the strongest among the younger Sarutobi generation, why are you making things hard like this? You questioned why I'm being so unyielding when mobilization instruction was given. Persist, I'm not done recording the data."

"Uh... ah... uh..."

Boom... "Bad luck."

Following an explosive sound, everything became quiet. Kabuto finally reached the bottom of the stairs and saw three dark holes in front of him. He didn't know where they would lead.
