Konoha's Infinite Clone

Hueco Mundo, Xuye Palace

At this time, the visible area of ​​this huge palace complex has been filled with lava, and if you look at it from a higher place, you can see that the entire area is actually divided from the middle.

The area they were in was filled with one area of ​​magma, while the other area was frozen by the severe cold, forming a magnificent kingdom of ice crystals.

After the previous violent period, the world has been almost fixed. Although the height of the lava is still rising slowly, it is no longer pouring out of the sky like before.

But if things continue like this, it won't take long for this place to be completely filled with lava.

"Did you find any clues?"

On top of a small piece of solidified lava, there is a special earth escape land. Obito and Orochimaru stood above it, staring around.

"There are space barriers all around. The barrier above is about one kilometer above. This means that even if we let Uchiha Fugaku take us flying, we will not be able to fly across this space."

Obito thought for a while and then said, "And I don't know if you feel it. Although the lava still exists, the high temperature it radiates is not as unbearable as before. It looks like it is gradually cooling.

"

"The strange place is here." Orochimaru continued, "The lava is still rising, which means that they have not cut off their source. In this case, there should be no loss of heat."

"What's more, the area we are in is completely enclosed, and the heat cannot escape. It will only circulate continuously within this barrier."

"Maybe this is the source of the anomaly in the area we are currently in." Although Obito was Kenji when he was young, after a few years, he has grown up a bit, and he has been behind the scenes for a long time.

, he sees everything as a backhand and a conspiracy.

"Let's go back and talk about it first."

Obito once again opened the door to the Kamui Space, and it was natural to enter it when he returned.

Orochimaru nodded and allowed the divine power to involve him.

There were a large number of ninjas inside, including Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku, but they all looked tired now.

People here have explored many places, but still haven't found anything unusual here.

"Anything gained?"

Jiraiya asked feebly, without any hope in his heart.

This place is really too weird.

"Not at all."

Orochimaru said expressionlessly, and then thought quickly, "Remember what we discussed before, our chakra loss is accelerating? In addition to the heat loss we just found, at least we can get

Make a guess."

"What guess?!"

Jiraiya's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked full of hope.

"That means we are not the only ones in this area." Orochimaru sneered, "Aizen Sosuke may have left a monitor behind. He not only determines our life and death, but is also the source of power to maintain the lava. He absorbs our loss.

The chakra will feed back the growth of the lava."

"Um...why is this..."

"I'm not sure, but power will not be lost for no reason. Energy is conserved. This area has been completely locked. But where did the excess lost chakra and the rapidly evaporated heat go? I have to think

There are others besides us who are secretly directing all this."

"Perhaps as long as we find it, we can find a way to escape."

"This is indeed a direction..."

Fugaku touched his chin and felt that it made sense, and asked another question, "So if there really is such a person, where would he hide? Lava has filled the ground, and the only places where he can stand are high in the sky, and those virtual places.

It’s not surprising that he can fly, but how did he hide it from our sight?”

"Either he can survive in lava or extreme cold." Obito took two steps back and forth in the Kamui space and suddenly interjected, "Judging from the fact that the heat is disappearing, I am more inclined to believe that he is in the lava area."

"The extremely cold area is not impossible. After all, we have only explored this side. The frozen area is too terrifying and we cannot step into it."

"Haha, no matter what, as long as you confirm that there is an enemy, that's it." Jiraiya said with a sullen face, "As long as the enemy is not like the creeping lava, it has no specific attack target or is simply dead.

Things are fine, as long as they are alive and show signs of life, sooner or later they will show their flaws."

He felt that he might feel sick when he saw the lava for some time in the future. At least now, he couldn't wait to get out of this area. Even though he had spent a lot of energy and chakra before, he heard that there was a hope of finding out.

At that time, he was also full of energy!

"What I just said was just a speculation." Orochimaru glanced at the old man and couldn't help but sigh, "You'd better not be impulsive. Who knows what the other party will do. The more impatient you are, the slower you have to be.

Take your time and figure it out slowly, otherwise no one knows what will happen next."

"How can I not be impulsive!" Jiraiya was a little anxious. "Tsunade's condition is unknown. It is very likely that she has been affected by Aizen's illusion. Everyone in Konoha is also uncertain about their life or death. How can I stay here with peace of mind and slowly take my time?"

Investigate!"

His words made the ninjas behind him become somewhat silent. They were all elites in their respective villages. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried about what was happening outside.

Is this Aizen's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain? He and the Arrancar Daxu should be attacking the ninja world. How is the battle going? Are there any dead? If so, who are they...?

Layers of questions piled up in their hearts, and the ninjas were all worried.

"What are you talking about?" But Orochimaru just sniffed and replied to Jiraiya, "People outside are life, but the people here are not life? Or do you think you only have to worry about the outside world? Jiraiya, you

It's best to be clear, now we are also in a critical moment of life and death. If something goes wrong because of one of your mistakes, then it doesn't matter if you die, but it has affected so many of us, can you afford to compensate?!"

"..." Jiraiya was silent. He glanced at Orochimaru, but in the end he didn't say anything, and then stepped back, not looking like he was ready to refute Orochimaru.

"Okay, what you both said makes sense." Fugaku hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Being too impulsive may lead to bad consequences, but being too cautious may also cause us to miss good opportunities. There is no right or wrong in this regard.

."

Orochimaru nodded, seeming to agree with Fugaku's statement. He said to Obito in a hoarse voice, "After I figure it out, I have some new ideas. Take me out again."

Obito watched from the side, nodded silently after hearing Orochimaru's words, and then took Orochimaru to the foothold created by Earth Release on the Hollow Night Palace in the outside world.

"What are you going to do?"

Obito was a little curious, he couldn't guess what Orochimaru was thinking.

The latter glanced around, and after making sure that nothing could be seen with the naked eye, he explained, "If there is such a person as I said before, he can absorb our chakra, then we can rely on this to try

Just see if you can find him."

"Chakra?" Obito was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses and figured out what Orochimaru was going to do, he said with some surprise, "This is indeed a method, but do you have enough chakra left now?"

(I have many backup energy sources...)

Orochimaru thought in his mind, but on the surface he just nodded and said nothing.

After he extracted Shisui's cells, he cloned many cells that could also absorb natural energy to serve as backup energy. The only thing he worried about doing this was that he would not be able to maintain the ratio of chakra to natural energy and turn himself into a stone frog. But this

In this case, there is not much that can be done.

"Then I won't help. I'm responsible for watching from the side. Once you are in danger, I will drag you back to my time and space as soon as possible."

Orochimaru nodded, then took out a handful of military food pills, ate them all in one breath, and mobilized a large amount of natural energy. He released this huge magical chakra without reservation, and the powerful chakra

The carat even caused ripples on the lava surface in the distance, and even more so, it was suppressed a lot!

He didn't use any ninjutsu, but a pure burst of chakra like a jinchuriki. This was a wasteful behavior that consumed a lot of chakra without getting any effective feedback, but only in this way could he make it easier.

See where this chakra ends up!

——When using ninjutsu, most of the chakra is actually used effectively, and only a little bit of the overflow is absorbed in the end.

As a large amount of chakra leaked out, Orochimaru braced himself up and saw that although a considerable part of the chakra that exploded had dissipated, some of it still seemed to have turned into threads, being pulled by some force.

It penetrated toward the bottom of the lava.

"Is it really under the lava? Does that mean that monster can survive at temperatures of several thousand degrees?"

Obito also saw this scene and immediately said in horror

Living freely in high temperatures of thousands of degrees, even undead creatures like tailed beasts would have a hard time surviving.

"That may not be the case. He may also have the ability to absorb heat, and the temperature in the area he is in may not be thousands of degrees."

Orochimaru added

Obito nodded, quite agreeing with this statement. When the lava almost completely blocked their sight, he once again activated the power of the divine aberration, "Would you like to come in first, I will use aberration to follow and take a look.

"

Orochimaru, who burst out with a large amount of chakra and was very weak, nodded and was once again wrapped in the space vortex and entered the Kamui space.

After Obito was the only one left, he let out a long sigh, then used Hollow again and entered the lava.

Although he had never thought that this mission would be so easy, he did not expect that things would become so complicated.

If it was a simple fight, he would just use his divine power to lead these ninjas away, but this kind of situation where there were no enemies in front of him or the enemies were hidden really made him feel tired.

(I don’t know what’s going on with Lin…)

He couldn't help but think about Lin in the outside world. If the information Lin gave was correct, Aizen should have already attacked Konoha. What role would she play in it?

(Also, she said it would be dangerous if I collected tailed beasts? What kind of danger would it be? Was it also sent by Aizen? If so, he has arranged so many things, and his power is too strong...)

In fact, of course it would be dangerous for him to collect tailed beasts. After all, Uchiha Madara, who was traveling with him, had already been prepared and waiting for this moment.

If you see Obito who also wants to collect tailed beasts, you don't know what he will do...

Although Madara once pinned part of his hopes on Obito, now he no longer needs Obito's power.

Especially if he also knows about his dark history, Madara will most likely kill Obito, and then even if Obito has divine power, he will most likely not be able to escape.

After all, Madara left a spell on Obito's heart, so it couldn't be easier to kill him.

While thinking about it, he followed the chakra line and dived into the depths of the lava. Looking at the burning flames and red sea of ​​fire around him, Obito dived in fear, while recording the time in his heart.

His incorporation has a time limit, and he must prepare enough time to return to the safe area above, leaving a gap for him to materialize.

Although he doesn't know if his body, which is now fused with wood escape cells, can survive the burns of lava for even a moment...

"Right there?!"

Fortunately, before half of the virtualization time passed, he discovered that the chakra threads were integrated into a palace one after another.

This Xuye Palace is worthy of being the place where Aizen and his Arrancar Legion live. The quality of the building is really good. It was not destroyed even in the lava...

"Is the enemy in that palace..."

Obito muttered to himself, guessing that there was still plenty of time, so he sneaked into the palace quietly.

It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to see what the enemy looks like.

He stood on the land that once supported the palace complex and approached the building in two steps.

It was a tall tower like a bell tower, with a huge clock engraved on top. The two huge hands pointed at six o'clock, forming a vertical line, just like the pupils of a huge eye.

Obito touched the wall with one hand, wanting to use the virtual blur to enter the building facade to check the enemy's intelligence.

But with just this touch, disaster happened...

He only felt the earth and lava shaking for a while. He looked at everything in front of him blankly. In the end, he could no longer suppress the panic and horror, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Xuye Palace...is alive?!"
