Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 43 Testing

"Tap tap tap~"

Juanyun walked up the steps leading to the underground, carrying a dead green lizard in her hand.

After climbing a spiral staircase, a door appeared before him, with a sealing talisman bearing the character "封" (seal) on it.

Juanyun arrived at the door, pressed a button on the left wall, and said, "My favorite is braised pork."

A few seconds later, numerous sealing spells appeared on the gate, and then it opened automatically.

Upon seeing this, Juan Yun continued walking forward and entered a spacious and bright basement.

The basement was filled with a large number of glass containers, neatly arranged, containing all sorts of strange things, all soaking in some green solution.

Juan Yun looked at the glasswares as if they were nothing out of the ordinary. He glanced briefly at one of the glasswares and then quickly walked up to a boy wearing a small white lab coat.

The boy was only 8 years old and about 1.2 meters tall. His face still looked childish, but his eyes were not as innocent as those of ordinary children his age. Instead, they were as deep and profound as those of an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

He is Kirito, or more accurately, a shadow clone of Kirito.

He was looking at a piece of flesh tissue soaking in a glass container.

His expression was one of excitement and fascination, as if the strangely shaped mass of flesh before him was not something ugly, but a beautiful work of art.

"Kirito-sama, something's up."

Juan Yun spoke respectfully to the eight-year-old boy.

Upon hearing the words of the one-armed giant, Maki, Kirito immediately withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the dead green lizard in the giant's hand. He said with interest, "The Krass Lizard is a very rare lizard from the Magical Desert of the Land of Wind. Adults can grow to five meters tall and possess excellent stealth abilities. It is a creature that has the potential to grow into a ninja beast."

"So it's a creature from the Land of Wind. No wonder I've never seen this kind of green-skinned lizard in Konoha before. That means there are spies from the Sand Village here. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly."

Upon hearing Kirito's explanation, Maki said coldly.

He had already learned from Yakushi Nonou that Kirito was being targeted by the people of Sunagakure during the day, so he followed Kirito's instructions to stay at the orphanage. But he didn't expect that the Sunagakure spies would arrive so soon.

"There's nothing strange about it. There must be spies from Sunagakure in the village. This Krass lizard may be small, but it's a genuine ninja beast. If it weren't for your excellent sensory abilities, you probably wouldn't have been able to detect it."

Kirito said dismissively.

Maki is a sensory ninja whose sensory method relies on his exceptional hearing, which is an innate talent.

Kirito chose the disabled ninja Makigumo because he was a sensory ninja, which would make him very suitable for protecting the base.

"So what should we do next? After the first test, there will definitely be a next time, and the next time they will definitely use more covert methods to infiltrate."

Juan Yun continued to ask, a nervous expression on her face.

As a former Jonin of Konoha, he knew very well how troublesome spies could be. Spies who could be sent by Sunagakure to infiltrate Konoha might not be strong, but their disguise and reconnaissance abilities were definitely top-notch, and they were proficient in all sorts of strange transformation techniques.

This time they used psychic abilities for reconnaissance; next time they might infiltrate disguised as people from the orphanage.

At that time, he won't be able to distinguish these infiltrated spies by hearing alone.

"Don't worry, I've already activated the barrier I set up in the orphanage. It covers the entire orphanage. Now, without my permission and a pass that I made, no stranger can get in. But you'll have to work a little harder from now on. Remember to replenish the chakra scrolls with chakra regularly."

Kirito answered confidently.

The orphanage was his stronghold, so naturally he had to do everything in his power to make it as impregnable as possible. The sealing barrier was the first line of defense he set up in the orphanage.

He was using a five-seal barrier. To break the barrier, the five seals located in different positions must be removed simultaneously.

"As expected of you, sir. You had already thought of a solution. Don't worry, we will replenish the chakra scroll with chakra regularly."

Juan Yun said respectfully.

He was willing to become Kirito's subordinate not only because Kirito promised to help him rebuild his severed arm and take care of his family in the future, but also because he saw a bright future in Kirito.

Over the past two years, he has witnessed Kirito's journey to where he is today, and he is even aware of just how terrifying the abilities of this 8-year-old boy are.

To this day, he still remembers the match he had with Kirito two years ago when Kirito found him. Kirito had secretly set up a large-area binding seal at his feet with terrifying speed, and he was subdued before the battle even began.

Sealing techniques are truly unreasonable ninjutsu.

If released quickly enough, this method will become a nightmare for the enemy.

Now, two years have passed, and Maki has no idea how strong Kirito has become or how much his sealing techniques have improved.

In short, based on his intuition honed from being a Jonin, he felt that this seemingly harmless boy, who usually smiled, was extremely dangerous when he got serious.

"I'll leave the rest of the time to you to keep a close watch. Since my main body isn't here, I can't use the limited chakra I have in my body too casually."

Kirito said with a smile.

"ha."

Juanyun immediately obeyed the order. He put down the green-skinned lizard and quickly left the basement.

The basement door closed automatically, and the sealing spell above it also disappeared.

After Juan Yun left, Kirito's gaze remained fixed on the chunk of flesh he had just examined. He murmured, "The previous experiments haven't been going well. It's definitely because Mito's cells are too strong. It's a pity that I only had Mito's pure Uzumaki clan cells on hand before. I didn't have enough experimental material. I hope this fusion experiment will make good progress."

After saying that, he suddenly squatted down and placed his hand on the dead green lizard on the ground.

The next moment, a large number of sealing techniques formed from chakra appeared and crawled all over the green-skinned lizard.

When Kirito stood up, the green lizard was completely enveloped in a black sealing spell. Then, its body twisted and disappeared instantly.

Sealing Technique: Inner Four Symbols Sealing (Short Version)

"Although it is very faint and hidden, there is clearly still chakra in the green-skinned lizard's body. It is estimated that there is an unknown ninjutsu hidden inside. But no matter what, as long as the Four Symbols Seal is used to banish it to an unknown alternate dimension, everything will be in vain."

Upon seeing this, Kirito smiled slightly and then continued to observe the flesh.

At the same time, in a private house in Konoha, an ordinary-looking Chunin suddenly opened his eyes, and his face quickly turned gloomy.

The Soul Reaper spell he left inside the Kras lizard disappeared.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
