His extraordinary comprehension allowed him to create immortal techniques at the age of six, astonis

Itachi's face showed visible tension.

Even if Orochimaru isn't here, the defenses here shouldn't be so lax.

It's more like a trap!

Kakashi gripped the kunai in his hand and took a deep breath.

"Continue in, everyone stay alert!"

He was also somewhat uneasy.

But this is a mission, a mission concerning Orochimaru, an extremely dangerous rogue ninja.

As members of the Dark Side and Root organization, they cannot afford to give up!

Eliminating rogue ninja is part of their job!

Otherwise, they'll face dire consequences upon returning to Konoha.

As they went deeper, they gradually began to smell blood.

Kakashi immediately tensed up. "We're almost at the core area. Stay alert!"

If the intelligence is a trap, then they are very likely to encounter Orochimaru.

Thinking of Orochimaru's terrifying strength, Kakashi couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Fight!

The group slowed down.

They kept a watchful eye on each other, hiding behind the corners of the walls, and only moved forward quickly after confirming that there were no enemies ahead.

"There's someone ahead!"

"hidden!!!"

Kakashi let out a low growl, and everyone immediately hid in the horizontal passageway.

He peered ahead and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Ahead, a large number of people were seen carrying ninjutsu scrolls and experimental equipment deeper into the base!

He even saw several corpses being carefully carried away.

"That bastard Orochimaru still hasn't stopped his experiments!"

Kakashi was furious.

He had investigated Orochimaru's experimental bases in the Land of Fire multiple times.

Now you know how inhumane Orochimaru's experiments were!

Countless living people were used as experimental subjects and ultimately died tragically.

"Move! Seize the data! Hirako, get the intelligence as quickly as possible!"

At Kakashi's command, a group of people rushed out quickly.

Bang bang bang!

These ordinary ninjas were no match for Kakashi and the others, and were easily defeated.

A group of people looked at the deformed corpse on the ground and felt a chill run down their spines.

"It's too awful!"

What kind of experiments is Orochimaru conducting?

"This monster!!"

Even though they, as members of the Anbu, had witnessed much darkness in the ninja world, they couldn't help but feel extremely angry at this moment.

"Orochimaru!"

A cold glint flashed in Itachi's eyes.

Although they haven't met yet, he already has a very bad impression of Orochimaru and is already harboring murderous intent.

Kakashi picked up the stolen scroll and examined it, a chill running down his spine!

"A cursed seal?! Damn it, what on earth is Orochimaru developing?!"

He put down the scroll with a grim expression, picked up another one to examine, and was immediately horrified.

"After exercising according to the method for a week, my physical fitness improved significantly, and after a month, it improved dramatically!"

"Chakra levels have increased significantly, and physical strength and speed have improved..."

"Has Orochimaru's research on ninjutsu reached this level?! Konoha is so far behind!"

Kakashi stared in horror at the scroll's title: "Research Report on Body Tempering Techniques".

The effects of body-strengthening exercises are simply incredible!

Even he couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to possess it.

Moreover, this secret technique is of paramount importance to the entire village!

Itachi, standing behind Kakashi, also saw the contents of the scroll and was somewhat shocked.

"As expected of Orochimaru, his research on the human body and chakra has reached such a level."

He was naturally aware of the effect of this secret technique on the village, and his heart pounded.

The leader of the Root organization leaned over and, after seeing the contents of the scroll, immediately began to breathe rapidly.

He glared at Kakashi with red eyes and growled:

"This thing is incredibly useful to the village!!!"

"We must get it! Even if it costs us all our lives!!"

Anyone who is a ninja knows how terrifying body-strengthening techniques are.

That's a secret technique that can directly boost the combat power of an entire ninja village!

They certainly wouldn't believe it if they heard it from someone else.

But this is Orochimaru's experimental data!

It can't be fake!

Kakashi took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "I understand!"

He looked around, gathered everyone together—a dozen or so people in total—and said sternly with a grim expression:

"Listen up, everyone! The primary objective of the mission has been changed to acquiring the secret technique of body tempering!"

"at all costs!"

"Yes!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, their expressions solemn.

They understood Kakashi's meaning: they had to be prepared to die in battle at any time during this mission.

"Wait a minute, we've made a new discovery!"

Just then, Yamanaka Hirako, who had been searching for memories, changed his expression and hurriedly called out.

Kakashi and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly looked over, "What's wrong?"

Hirako Yamanaka took a deep breath and said in disbelief:

"Based on the information I gleaned from their memories, the developer of the body-strengthening technique that Kakashi mentioned is very likely not Orochimaru!"

"It's Orochimaru's disciple, Ishihara!!!"

Chapter Fourteen Mission Objective: Ishihara! Action! (Please give flowers and ratings!)

what? !

Kakashi and the others looked astonished.

With their knowledge, they naturally understood that body-strengthening techniques were not something ordinary people could develop.

They could still believe someone like Orochimaru who frequently conducted forbidden experiments.

But Orochimaru's disciple?

Does he have that much experience and knowledge? Does he have accumulated that many secret techniques?

The crowd still harbored some doubts and questions.

The team leader of the root group said anxiously:

"Experimental data has proven the authenticity of the body-strengthening exercise, so it doesn't matter who developed it!"

"Let's go get the Body Tempering Technique first!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yamanaka Hirako hurriedly stopped him, "No!"

He said in a trembling voice amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd:

"This Ishihara is very important! Extremely important!! Even more important than the Body Tempering Technique!!!"
