Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Soon, the snow leopard used the mayfly technique to infiltrate the Root's base with the black pill.

The snow leopard's infiltration method is very clever; the White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique is the ninjutsu with the strongest stealth ability.

The snow leopard, using the power of the spores, made its aura and that of the black ball indistinguishable from that of the trees.

Having avoided some of the barriers and traps at the base, they entered the base safely.

This is also thanks to the fact that the elite of Root were wiped out in the conflict between the Land of Rain and Akatsuki. Now, the people who remain in Root are all researchers.

Security awareness is very weak.

The snow leopard activated its spore-sensing abilities to perceive the internal conditions of the roots.

Black Ball also activated its super sense of smell, sniffing out the ingredients.

The pungent smell of disinfectant and formaldehyde, the musty, dried, and repeatedly soaked smell of blood, and the acrid acidity of medicines and chemicals...

It smells like being in a morgue, or the residence of the ultimate serial killer.

"vomit--"

Blackie took one sniff and immediately vomited; the smell was just too disgusting for a dog.

"You son of a bitch!"

The snow leopard saw that Black Ball had vomited all over the ground and wanted to swat it with its paw.

Heiwan said apologetically, "Brother Leopard, I'm sorry, these smells are awful, even worse than the morgue in Konoha."

"The underground is poorly ventilated; I really don't know how much these people with roots can endure?"

Blackball has a very sensitive sense of smell; most people entering it would at most think it's an underground hospital.

It definitely has a strange taste, but it can't be as exaggerated as the Black Ball.

The roots are all about protecting the village in the dark, so what does a slightly strange smell matter?

Snow Leopard ignored Black Ball. In Snow Leopard's perception, the Root ninjas left behind were not exceptionally powerful.

It's worth noting that the two Jonin guarding the top are a bit of a problem for the snow leopard, but they can't spot it.

Apart from that, there were hardly any people around the huge root area.

This is quite normal. The only things worth noting about Danzo's roots right now are Danzo himself and Ryuma Kagami.

Both of them joined the Allied Shinobi Forces and went to fight in the Land of Rain, so the Root organization is now somewhat insignificant.

The snow leopard could easily take down the Root ninjas, but its mission was to find the members of Nonou's orphanage.

Destroying the roots is not its mission, but of course, if given the chance, the snow leopard would not mind destroying this filthy place.

Its master, Ryou, had such a bad life before, partly due to Danzo's influence; Danzo was Tobirama's dark side.

He held a distrustful attitude towards all Uchiha, so he rarely gave Liao Wu a chance.

Blackball suddenly reminded Snow Leopard: "Brother Leopard, there's the scent of ten children above us, they seem to be orphans from the Konoha Orphanage."

Snow Leopard nodded and led Black Ball upwards, arriving at the underground area of ​​the orphanage children that Black Ball had mentioned.

The children and the caretakers at the orphanage were kept separate.

Since Kabuto fused with Orochimaru's white snake cells, Root has stopped selecting children to fuse with Orochimaru's cells.

Of course, the Roots, with their intention to make use of waste, wouldn't let them go.

The Root ninjas selected three groups of orphans from among the 50 orphans in the orphanage: the upper and middle classes.

Ten of the best were selected and trained to become reserve ninjas for Root.

There are about 30 of them in the middle level. They mainly do some physical work at the base of the root, or learn some scientific ninja knowledge systems and are used as scientific researchers.

As for the lower class, they are all orphans with physical disabilities or weak constitutions.

These people were put to bed and enjoy themselves in the Root Hospital, with the Root promising to cure their physical defects.

In reality, they were being kept as experimental subjects, and when the time came to use them for human experiments, these people would be captured and subjected to human experimentation.

The orphanage manager either understands the essence of the root and integrates into the root, doing some odd jobs.

They either couldn't accept that the organization was using children for human experiments, or they threatened to report it to the authorities.

These were ultimately used as sacrifices in human experiments.

Nonou's orphanage has been devoured by the Roots.

The disappearance of all the orphans in peacetime would be a major event, but during wartime, especially during the decisive battle between the Allied Shinobi Forces and Madara Uchiha, it was a different story.

No one cares about what's happening at the orphanage.

At this moment, the place where Snow Leopard and Black Ball were eavesdropping was a training base of Root, a place where Root trained orphans from orphanages to become ninjas.

These people were divided into five groups of two, and they were all very happy to be selected by Root to become ninjas.

The people of Root are teaching these orphans chakra refining techniques.

The ninja who taught the orphans to wear a mask even at his own base; his mask was a white demon Hannya mask.

Seeing that the girl in the orphanage looked just like the big, muscular Hannya, none of them dared to look at the terrifying white Hannya.

Bai Banruo taught the orphans in a very mechanical voice: "Feel your breath... and feel the warmth in every part of your body, that is the power of your cells."

"Like catching butterflies, gently gather them together with your mind..."

Under Bai Hannya's guidance, everyone slowly began to refine their chakra.

Several children had sweat beading on their foreheads and were breathing rapidly. Refining chakra was an physically demanding activity and not something that was easy.

Chakra is an energy formed by the mixture of physical and spiritual energy.

Everyone has this kind of energy.

In the latest Boruto setting, chakra is the life energy that all living beings are born with; it is not exclusive to ninjas, nor was it bestowed by Kaguya.

The original setting was that Kaguya ate the chakra fruit of the God Tree and became the first person in the world to possess chakra.

With the blessings of the people, Hagoromo and Hamura were born, and the two of them took away Kaguya's chakra.

This laid the groundwork for the subsequent rift between the mother and son.

After Kaguya was sealed away, the Sage of Six Paths distributed his chakra to those who followed him, and they were all connected to each other.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, chakra was bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths, and his chakra was inherited from Kaguya.

But the essence of chakra is a mixture of physical and mental energy.

All living things possess chakra, and chakra is equivalent to the life essence of a planet.

Everyone has it, but the techniques for using chakra are monopolized by ninjas.

In Shippuden, Kaguya could be called the progenitor of chakra, but in Boruto, Kaguya is a thief who steals the life essence of a planet.

Because the chakra doesn't belong to her, but to this planet. A ninja's chakra is something they refine themselves, and it's equivalent to their life.

Before Kaguya arrived, the people of this planet already possessed their own power system.

For example, magic arts are the fusion of physical energy, spiritual energy, and natural energy.

This is a power system that is more advanced than chakra.

If Sage Mode exists, there's no reason why Chakra, which is inferior to Sage Mode, shouldn't exist.

It's possible that the Divine Tree absorbed everyone who possessed chakra, and then Kaguya descended, slaughtering the planet's original power system.

This led to a break in the original power system, and the Sage of Six Paths established the Ninja Cult, which could refine chakra.

Everyone has chakra. In the original work, Rock Lee also has chakra. It's not that he can't refine chakra, but that he doesn't know how to use chakra to perform ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Opening the Eight Gates releases the chakra within the body to enhance his taijutsu.
