Escape From Konoha

"To be honest, your house is too big."

After scanning the room where Liuli was, Baishi sat down without any restraint.

"It's a bit big, but it's a bit deserted every day."

"That's true. By the way, aren't your parents at home? Wouldn't it be better for me to say hello?"

Liuli shook her head and said, "No need. The two of them haven't been in the village all year round. Because they don't have the talent to be ninjas, they can only do small business outside. They only send a little money back every month."

Shiraishi's eyelids twitched.

Small business?

He really wanted to ask, did Liuli misunderstand Xiaosheng's original intention?

"By the way, what are you going to do here? Although I have a private training ground at home, it's too ostentatious and doesn't fit your mystical style."

Yesterday, Baishi told her that he had important matters to deal with when he came to her.

"I want to do an experiment with you. Is there any hidden and strong vacant house?"

Do experiments? Liuli frowned, not quite understanding Baishi's intention.

With Baishi's level, Liuli didn't think he needed much trouble.

The research funds and living expenses that were usually given to him were simply wiped out in one stroke, and after hearing the sound, he didn't want Baishi to return it.

Money or not, she has never had this concept since she was a child.

"Because I think the movement will be a bit loud and dangerous. My laboratory is too small."

Hearing Baishi's explanation, Liuli didn't pursue it to the end, and led Baishi through a corridor and into an empty house.

Then open a wooden board in the house, and there is a secret passage leading to the ground.

There was electricity on both sides along the way, and there were lights on.

At the bottom of the passage, there is an underground space of about 50 square meters. The surrounding and ground are protected by hard stone slabs, which is not a problem to block the impact of ninjutsu.

"Is this place okay? If it's not enough, there's a slightly bigger one next to it, which is twice the size of this place."

"Enough, better than I imagined."

Shiraishi is very satisfied with the closed space here, even far exceeding his expectations.

"I'll go up first, call me if you need anything."

Liuli went up alone.

Baishi took out the sealing scroll, spread it out on the ground, made seals with both hands, and white smoke exploded from the scroll with a bang.

Along with the white smoke, a large number of research instruments also appeared.

However, these research instruments are relatively small in size and can be loaded with scrolls.

Speaking of which, this kind of ninjutsu, which uses scrolls to seal things and make things easy to carry, was taught to him by Liuli.

Putting all kinds of research equipment neatly here, Shiraishi started this experiment.

And this experiment is also different from usual, accompanied by great danger.

If the experiment is successful, the rewards will be extremely rich.

Around evening, when the sun was setting, Baishi never came out of the basement.

Liuli in her room finished her chakra refining in the afternoon and asked the maid to arrange dinner. Seeing that Shiraishi didn't have the idea to come out, she ate alone first.

After eating, Shiraishi still didn't come out from the basement.

Liuli still ignored him.

Until midnight, when Liuli was having a good dream, the earth suddenly shook.

Liuli's body also trembled slightly, and with her keen senses, she suddenly sat up from the floor and scanned her surroundings.

earthquake?

wrong. Liuli denied it instantly.

The source of the earthquake is very close to here, and the way the vibration is generated should be related to the explosion of the utensil.

It's not obvious, but I feel it.

Thinking of something, Liuli didn't have time to put on her coat. Wearing black tights, she slid open the wooden door and quickly walked towards the room in another corridor.

Her destination is the basement in this house.

When Liuli arrived below, what she saw was the mess in the basement, with a huge pothole in the middle.

Even the hard floor, which can protect against the impact of ninjutsu, was blown out of such a pothole, and there was a strange look in Liuli's eyes.

Then he saw Baishi who was disgraced and seemed to be stunned by the explosion in front of him.

In the pit of the explosion, there is a strong chakra... It seems to be a little different. In short, a very strong breath lingers there, giving Liuli a sense of oppression that is suddenly bitten by a beast. .

Other than that, there were only some research instruments that were completely blown up, all of which could not be used again and were completely destroyed.

"How did you come?"

Baishi came back to his senses and asked a silly question.

Liuli didn't care about this, and she didn't feel angry at Baishi for making her basement so bad.

What she cares about is what kind of experiment Shiraishi is doing to blow up the floor that is protected from ninjutsu impacts like this.

"What experiment are you doing?"

"Drawing natural energy..."

Shiraishi didn't hide anything, and answered honestly.

"Immortal art?"

Liuli glanced at Baishi in surprise.

"Well, this is the hypothesis and steps of the experiment, but now you can also write the conclusion."

Shiraishi took out his notebook from the ninja bag.

After Liuli took it, she opened it and took a look.

Although he could recognize every word, there were too many technical terms that he didn't understand, so he couldn't understand what Baishi was writing.

"The experiment failed?"

Seeing the explosion here, Liuli thought that Shiraishi's experiment had failed.

"Well, it can be said to be a failure, or it can be said to be a success. I successfully channeled the natural energy and fused it with ordinary chakra, but I don't know what is the matching ratio between them, and do I need other things to promote the fusion? , That’s why this experiment accident was caused. After the natural energy neutralized the chakra out of control, it was even more violent than I expected..."

Shiraishi picked up the corner of a damaged research instrument and stood there thoughtfully thinking about something.

Lucy nodded in agreement.

Ordinary chakra does not have this level of destructive power without using magic spells.

"What do you need next?"

Liuli, who had never had a strong interest in Shiraishi's research, had the idea of ​​supporting him for the first time.

"Money, lots of money! There's room for more solidity!"

Shiraishi was not polite.

In his opinion, it is fair for Liuli to provide the funds and territory, to be in charge of the research, and to enjoy the final research results together.

◎

Follow Liuli to the upper room.

"live here?"

Baishi was a little surprised by Liuli's sudden proposal.

"That's right, running back and forth is too cumbersome. Otherwise, you can only come here on Sunday, and there is too little time to invest in the study of natural energy, and the results will be slow."

"Won't that raise suspicion?"

Shiraishi is worried about this.

"Not all the maids in my family are from Uchiha. I will hire you to work in my house with a formal employment contract. Besides, who would focus on a ninja school student? Do you think Naruto is directly under the Anbu Council?" Do you deal with such trivial matters? Even if there is an investigation, it is the job of our Uchiha Guard.”

Shiraishi made sense when he heard it.

After all, experiments on natural energy really cannot be done in his home.

His previous experiments were actually very formal and not dangerous. Even if he was accidentally discovered, he could use words to smooth it over.

But the natural energy experiment doesn't work.

Everything involved here is top secret and must be kept secret.

If Liuli uses the employment contract to let herself work in her house, it is indeed a good way to deceive others.

Naruto's subordinate Anbu would not be so leisurely as to monitor a ninja school student, not to mention that Shiraishi did not show any hostility towards the village.

He is the successor of the authentic Will of Fire.

Even if something is wrong, it is the job of the security team, and Liuli is a genius of the Uchiha clan, so he has a background.

Most importantly, I am poor.

In Konoha, there is no such thing as child protection law. When Shiraishi was six years old, he was driven out of the orphanage to live on his own. Underage children earn money to live and work... It is reasonable!

Liuli employs herself with an employment contract, which is also the help of friends.

After all, he and Liuli are almost inseparable. In the eyes of many people, he and Liuli are very good friends.

It is normal for friends to help each other.

In this way, he has enough time to conduct natural energy experiments and keep it secret enough.

"Speaking of which, how did you attract natural energy?"

Liuli asked the question she cared most about.

The fairy art information she gave Baishi before was just some superficial information about immortal art.

Liuli was very curious about how Baishi attracted natural energy.

"Didn't you read the previous notes? It's actually quite simple to say. I don't know how the first-generation adults guide natural energy. I guide natural energy from the root of Chakra, and use the root system of Chakra to throw it out." Bait."

"..."

"As for the specific source of chakra, it is actually related to our usual state and diet. Physical strength cannot be separated from food intake, supplemented with carbohydrates, protein, fat, grape acid, etc. Mental energy is not only related to the soul, but also to emotions. It can also control a person's mental state, that is, the state. In the final analysis, the physical and spiritual power comes from these, and it produces a similar chemical reaction with the human body. After fusion and extraction, it becomes chakra. Of course, this also involves more complicated The body's self-processing system, different people's physical fitness will have differences, which leads to... er, do you understand?"

"..."
