"Ishihara-kun, we've recovered most of the Zanpakuto."

However, some Zanpakuto were not retrieved. They were either left behind, or some people simply didn't want to get new Zanpakuto.

Orochimaru said with a hint of helplessness, but in reality, he had another guess in his mind.

That means someone is researching Zanpakuto!

And the possibility is not low.

"I understand. I will personally retrieve those Zanpakuto."

Ishihara nodded.

He was also aware that some Zanpakuto might be researched after they were sold.

It's also possible that those ghosts took it and used it.

Since that's the case, then I'll go and retrieve all those Zanpakuto myself!

With that thought in mind, Ishihara used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

"I didn't expect Ishihara-kun's Body Flicker Technique to become more and more proficient. At this rate, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see him clearly anymore."

Orochimaru shook his head and then continued with his work.

Recently, they discovered traces of the Two-Tailed Beast again!

It was discovered in an ocean, but the location is not very specific and is somewhat vague.

They have already sent Yakushi Kabuto to check on it.

...

After leaving Orochimaru, Ishihara planned to first find one of those Zanpakuto that remained motionless.

This kind of Zanpakuto is most likely being researched by someone else, or its owner died in battle and its ghost left.

As expected, many Zanpakuto were created when their masters died in battle, and their ghosts left, unable to use them.

After collecting these Zanpakuto, Ishihara went to another place.

"Is it underground? Looks like someone is actually researching Zanpakuto."

But is this something you can truly understand and research?

Ishihara's lips curled up slightly. Since they liked to study, he would give them a Zanpakuto technique.

Let them study it carefully!

With a clench of his right hand, Ishihara produced a Zanpakuto.

Then, with a light slash.

Suddenly, a crescent moon shot downwards.

Boom!

The crescent moon slammed hard into the ground.

Suddenly, the ground began to collapse, clearly indicating that there was indeed a research institute or something similar below.

...

"What's going on? Why is it suddenly shaking?"

"That's strange. I (Liao De Zhao) remember that our research institute can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8, right?"

"Oh no, the research institute is about to collapse! We have to get out of here or we'll be buried!"

"Damn it, someone must have attacked us! Everyone, run!"

"Aaaaaah, help! My leg is trapped!"

"Wait, don't run yet, take that knife with you first!"

"He even brought a knife, but that broken knife is completely useless. We've been researching it for so long, and we haven't figured anything out."

"Yes, Doctor, let it go, your life is more important!"

"Doctor, don't be reluctant to use the knife, or we'll all be buried in here!"

...

Outside the research institute, Ishihara frowned slightly. Something was off about this institute.

Looking down at the ground, Ishihara sensed something was wrong.

Ordinary research institutes would basically collapse if they were attacked from the outside.

Now, the ground in front of them has only collapsed a little bit before it has stopped.

This research institute must have cost a lot of money, right?

Given the current economic situation of Konoha Village, it is practically impossible to build such a robust research institute.

And since this is Konoha Village territory, it's quite intriguing who built this research institute.

But what do all these messy conspiracies have to do with me?

He was only there to retrieve his Zanpakuto.

And so, Ishihara swung his sword again.

This time, the crescent moon is even bigger!

Boom!

This time, the research institute finally collapsed, burying countless researchers inside.

Upon seeing this, Ishihara nodded.

It then slowly descended to the ground.

217 He stretched out his right hand, and the ground immediately began to tremble, with countless bits of soil churning outwards.

Then a Zanpakuto slowly rolled out of the soil.

Looking at this Zanpakuto, Ishihara felt something was off; it seemed like there were a lot of strange things mixed in with it.

It seems these guys are doing pretty good research.

If we let them continue their research like this, they might actually discover something!

Unfortunately, they are all dead.

Just as Ishihara was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something was amiss in his surroundings!

It felt as if something was watching me, but I was trying my best to hide myself.

Does this mean someone is watching me?

"The crystal ball the Third Hokage used? No! It's not that thing, that thing is nearby!"

Immediately, Ishihara sensed it and began to spread his spiritual power (cgbb).

This is in a forest, where everything around is both natural and unnatural.

This strange feeling made Ishihara very unhappy. If someone had used a transformation technique, he would definitely have been able to sense it.

Does that mean no one used any ninjutsu?

That's not right either.

With that in mind, Ishihara immediately increased the intensity of his spiritual power.

He immediately realized it.

"So that's where it was, little one!"

Come out to me!

Boom!

After Ishihara gathered all his spiritual power, the thing hiding in the shadows finally appeared.

And that unpleasant feeling gradually dissipated.

Immediately afterward, a masked man in a purple coat appeared in front of Ishihara.

"I didn't expect you to have discovered this. It seems the organization's tools are still not perfect enough."

"who are you?"

Ishihara squinted at the man in front of him. He didn't remember there being such a person in the ninja world, did he?

Moreover, this guy's strength seems rather strange.

It seems to be somewhere between Kage-level and Super Kage-level.

With such a figure emerging in the ninja world, our Sage Organization hasn't heard a thing.

"Who we are is not important. What is important is that you have brought over a force that does not belong here."
