Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 30 Taking Over Orochimaru's Secret Base
The Jade Goddess rolled up the scroll with a ribbon, shook it lightly in mid-air to shake off the disgusting slime, and then handed it to Menma.

Upon receiving the scroll, Menma used chakra to sense it and found that the storage scroll indeed contained a powerful life force surging like a tide.

Although Orochimaru is indeed ruthless in conducting human experiments, he still has credibility as long as the person is of equal strength or there is a possibility of cooperation.

After watching Orochimaru disappear into the forest, Menma also left the place with the Third Reaper and the Jade Goddess.

If a real fight were to break out, the scythe of the Third Reaper could not only absorb chakra, but also damage souls.

It's a perfect counter to Orochimaru, whose soul is incomplete.

As Menma landed, a white tiger wearing a mask leaped out of the forest, stopped in front of Menma, and crouched down.

It bent down, hoisted the hemp seedlings onto its back, and galloped through the forest.

There are actually many secret bases of Orochimaru around Konoha, and Danzo didn't even know about many of them.

After Orochimaru escapes this time, these secret bases will be abandoned.

Mianma wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by.

Before long, the white tiger stopped at a hidden entrance located on a cliff.

Standing on the cliff platform outside the entrance, you can also see the Naka River and the Naka Shrine ten kilometers away.

That place is the clan land of the Uchiha clan, and also the secret gathering place of the Uchiha clan. The basement of the shrine contains a stone tablet that is said to have been left by the Sage of Six Paths, which was later modified by Zetsu.

"The scenery at this secret base is quite nice." Menma withdrew his gaze and walked down the deep passageway.

The Jade Goddess and the Third Death God floated at the front, clearing away the hidden weapons and traps in the passageway for Menma.

This secret base, though small in size, was fully equipped, with unformed experimental subjects still suspended in petri dishes, and an independent power system humming.

The three summoned beasts, White Tiger, Heavenly Maiden, and Death God, began clearing away the mechanisms and snakes left behind by Orochimaru in this secret base.

Menma went to a lounge and found some experimental logs inside.

It seems this is not Orochimaru's main experimental site; the experimental log is only a few pages long, but it still gave Menma some understanding of this laboratory.

Byakko possesses exceptional sensory abilities and has successively discovered three of Orochimaru's secret bases, all of which will become Menma's property.

Suddenly, a burning pain shot through the sealing array around his waist.

"Are they here?" Menma put down the experimental log in his hand and quickly formed hand seals.

Press your palm heavily against your lower back.

"Sealed in a Cage!"

A light-colored rune flickered on the skin's surface for a moment before fading into silence.

In the forest outside Konoha Village.

Wearing a long robe with red clouds and black background from the Akatsuki organization and a spiral-patterned mask, Obito Uchiha stood on a large tree, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Obito, something seems to have happened in Konoha. The White Zetsu that was lying in wait reported that Konoha is heavily guarded and has sent out many sensory ninjas to investigate everywhere." Zetsu, the pitcher plant, emerged halfway from the tree trunk, his white face speaking.

“Call me ‘Lord Madara’ outside!” Obito said coldly.

"Alright, Lord Obito." White Zetsu still had that incessantly chattering look on his face.

Obito was used to these bickering. Ever since he was rescued by Madara Uchiha, he had been kept under house arrest underground. Usually, only White Zetsu could communicate with him, so even if White Zetsu sometimes said something stupid, Obito would just ignore the topic at most.

"Have any messages come back from the White Zetsu you placed in the orphanage?" Obito's Sharingan, hidden beneath his mask, glanced at Zetsu.

"Come to think of it, we haven't heard from White Zetsu over there for quite a while." Zetsu's body fully emerged from the tree, standing beside Obito, tilting his head and grinning. "It seems something has happened in Konoha that we don't know about." Obito once again used Kamui to sense the mark he had left behind.

However, he was unable to perceive the mark he had placed on Minato's child.

This caused Obito's eyebrows to furrow deeply beneath his mask.

He couldn't help but recall the battle three years ago. Minato had only fought him once, yet he had already learned about his abilities and used the Flying Thunder God Technique II to severely injure him, and then used a contract seal to sever his control over the Nine-Tails.

'Could there be a sealing technique that can seal space-time ninjutsu marks?' Obito thought of the Uzumaki clan, famous for their sealing techniques.

However, the Uzumaki clan was destroyed and its territory was wiped out, so even the ninjas in Konoha who are proficient in sealing techniques should not be able to achieve this level.

'Damn it... what on earth happened to that kid?!' Obito started to get anxious; that little guy was an important part of his revenge plan!

He even wanted to see Minato's two sons kill each other ten years later!
"Hey! Obito, are you really going to Konoha?!" Zetsu looked at Obito's gradually fading body and couldn't help but try to dissuade him.

"Don't worry, the Fourth Hokage is dead." A deep and confident voice came from beneath Obito's spiral-patterned mask: "No one can threaten me."

------

Deep within the Leaf Village, at the base of its roots, in Danzo's room.

A Root ninja landed outside the shoji gate, his figure silhouetted against the dim light.

"Lord Danzo! Orochimaru has defected!"

Danzo, who was lying on the tatami mat covered with a quilt and sleeping, suddenly opened his left eye.

"Bring 'A' over here," Danzo ordered.

"Yes!" The Root ninja accepted the order and quickly disappeared.

Danzo lifted the covers and slowly got up.

'Orochimaru, have you finally come to this?' Danzo supported Orochimaru's experiments a lot, but he also knew that using Konoha ninjas for live experiments would cross Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line.

Therefore, when the number of ninja prisoners in the prison was not enough to satisfy Orochimaru's desires, Danzo ordered his men to kidnap ordinary Konoha ninjas to supply Orochimaru's research.

Of course, he was unaware of the truth on the surface; it was all done by his subordinates.

"Lord Danzo!" Soon, a thirteen-year-old boy wearing a tanuki mask and codenamed 'Ko' arrived before Danzo.

Danzo took out a scroll and handed it to Jia: "Go to this location, give the scroll to the people there, and then wait for Orochimaru there to help him escape."

Although Kagami had mastered the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, his strength was only at the Jonin level. Compared to Orochimaru, a well-established elite Jonin, there was still a significant gap between them. Danzo naturally did not believe that Kagami could defeat Orochimaru.

But Orochimaru absolutely cannot be captured by Hiruzen Sarutobi, otherwise it might cause trouble if he reveals himself.

Since they couldn't bring Orochimaru back, didn't have the ability to kill him, and Danzo needed Orochimaru's technology, they had no choice but to assist Orochimaru's escape.

"Yes!" A took the scroll and vanished in an instant.

Just as Akagi left, an ANBU ninja, led by Aburame Ryoma, arrived at the Root base.

"Lord Danzo! The Hokage requests your presence!"

"Understood." Danzo put on his outer robe, concealing the secret of his arm.
