Sudden Outbreak
Sudden Incident
The next morning, before dawn.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Lin Ke opened his eyes and sat up, letting his shadow open the window. Hatake Kakashi was squatting at the window with a serious expression, and said, "There's an emergency that requires your assistance."
Nothing to say.
Lin Ke hurriedly got up, didn't bother to comb his hair or wash his face, popped a piece of gum into his mouth, and hurriedly followed him out, hopping as he asked, "What happened?"
Hatake Kakashi roughly explained what had happened last night.
Shimura Danzo had really stirred up a hornet's nest. Before they could even question or investigate the matter of him collaborating with Orochimaru and selling information about the village's geniuses, they discovered news of experimental subjects about to explode from the minds of Root members.
The news quickly went from the Interrogation Department to the Hokage Office. The two Advisors and the Hokage couldn't sit still either, and took people to see the situation on the ground.
Good heavens, it was indeed about to explode, and in a way that couldn't be stopped.
Whether it was a Sealing Jutsu or a Barrier, the essence was Chakra. The experimental subject, called Kimimaro, possessed extremely strong abnormal energy in his body, which could constantly repel and dissolve Chakra at a very fast rate, making it impossible to form an effective long-term suppression.
It had to remain in a constantly maintained Sealing Jutsu, with a ninja skilled in Sealing Jutsu constantly outputting Chakra to ensure it wouldn't explode.
Not to mention controlling it, even transferring the experimental subject or throwing it outside the village was impossible. If it left the Sealing Jutsu formation, it would explode on the spot.
The estimated range was also very wide, several kilometers. It wouldn't matter in the vast ninja world, but in the village's urban area, even one kilometer would devastate countless things.
The village evacuated all residents within a ten-kilometer radius overnight, but who would pay for the losses next?
That wasn't a small amount of money.
What's more, what about the ninja maintaining the seal? Just die inside?
So, after arguing back and forth, they decided to start with the experimental subject. It was better not to explode. The Ninja Doctors and Medical Team members from Konoha Hospital had all arrived half an hour early and were still discussing how to solve the problem.
The tricky part was that they couldn't directly release Chakra to solve it, which gave the Medical Ninjas, who were used to relying on Chakra and Medical Ninjutsu, a big headache.
Lin Ke, as a Special Jonin with many secret techniques, a former Medical Team ninja, and someone who had destroyed Orochimaru's subordinate's Barrier, naturally had to contribute to the village.
However, compared to other Medical Ninjas being notified by the Anbu, the esteemed Konoha's Number One Technician personally coming to provide service was definitely giving him face.
Kimimaro? Experimental subject? Prototype?
Listening, many things suddenly came to Lin Ke's mind.
The data from Orochimaru's base, Scorpion's mysterious [Orochimaru has gone far], and the inexplicable Seal linked to him.
He felt like he was just one step away from touching the truth. As long as he slightly pierced the paper separating them, the truth would be right before his eyes.
He should be gloating over Danzo's misfortune—
Anyone could tell that Danzo would be taking the blame again. Even if it didn't explode, just colluding with Orochimaru, selling information about the village's geniuses, and almost blowing up the village were enough to send Danzo back to the gutter.
The village's militant faction would support an aggressive leader, but they would never support a petty person who harmed the village for personal gain.
However, knowing the possible consequences, would Shimura Danzo resort to desperate measures…
Lin Ke suddenly thought of this. With an arm full of Sharingan, Wood Release, and a Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo was definitely the strongest in Konoha Village at this time.
Even Might Guy probably couldn't do it. Opening the Eight Gates Formation would provide enough output, but the endurance would be very poor. Ten minutes of Izanagi could exhaust him to death.
...
Two minutes later, at the Root's Laboratory.
"Ta"X2
As soon as Lin Ke and Hatake Kakashi landed, they followed the Anbu inside. All the extra rooms and messy secret chambers had been dismantled. Except for the ceiling, which was left because it was uncertain whether sunlight would affect the experimental subject, the entire interior of the building had been gutted.
The area was quite large. A group of ninjas in the northeast corner were waiting to take over outputting Chakra to maintain the Seal, and more than twenty Ninja Doctors and Medical Ninjas were standing next to them.
The Third Hokage and the two Advisors were observing not far away, all dressed neatly, as if they were about to go to the battlefield.
The three of them were over two hundred years old combined.
He didn't know what the three old men were talking about with Shimura Danzo, but they looked very serious.
Lin Ke nodded to the Third Hokage and walked over to join the medical staff's discussion.
After listening for a while, he roughly understood the plan that the Medical Ninjas and Ninja Doctors had come up with: using the current suppressive effect of the Sealing Jutsu, they would quickly cut up the experimental subject and throw the pieces away for disposal through physical segmentation.
There were many difficulties involved. For example, they needed to be precise in coordinating with the Seal. If too much leaked out and caused an explosion, leading to the complete failure of the Seal, it would cause a chain explosion, and no one present would survive. There was also the speed of the excision, how to dispose of the pieces, where to start, and where the root of the experimental subject's mutation was.
It was a bit difficult to ask them to solve something they had never encountered before in twenty-four hours.
A group of nurses and low-level medical personnel were urgently preparing various experimental instruments nearby. A dozen Lightning Release ninjas who had been mobilized were also on standby, waiting to charge the batteries at critical moments.
Han Fang and Baicao were observing the experimental subject from the side, not daring to directly examine it. There was no way; as soon as Chakra entered, it would be dissolved, and it might even cause other, yet undiscovered changes. If they accidentally caused any changes, it could implicate everyone present, leading to their deaths.
Lin Ke didn't say anything during the medical personnel's discussion. His professional knowledge... well, it was much better than the average person's, but when placed in a professional field, the gap between him and the auxiliary personnel who were cleaning up the medical equipment wasn't particularly large.
After understanding what needed to be done, he came to the experimental subject, looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar Kimimaro, and hesitated whether to try using a Chakra Scalpel or the Five Elements Unsealing.
If it was really caused by a Cursed Seal or the Five Elements Sealing, then it should theoretically be useful.
But what if it wasn't? He didn't know what Orochimaru had created.
Even up to Boruto, the number of bizarre experimental results Orochimaru had was a mystery, and the number of his bases was countless. Even the Land of Wind had abandoned Orochimaru bases.
"If you want to try, try as much as you can."
Shimura Danzo walked over, his expression calm, and said, "Lin Ke, we'll talk about the matter of selling your information later."
"If you have any confidence, you can try it. This old man will be the final insurance." His tone and eyes looked quite confident.
