Although the Ninja World Government has been established for a short time, and due to the tight time and heavy tasks, there are still many deficiencies in some government affairs, but if it is running at full speed, the efficiency is still very high!

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu only asked Orochimaru and Uzumaki Reina to thoroughly investigate the origin of Xuan Bing in the form of secret orders, the two of them were old ministers of the shogunate after all, so they were naturally able to use the authorization given by Uchiha Tokumitsu in the name of the Great Archon to mobilize personnel from Uttar Pradesh and the United Administrative Region to search for the snow-capped mountains and snow-no-land ice fields in the northern part of the former Land of Thunder.

Of course, the two are not fools, although Uchiha Tokumitsu did not say clearly what the purpose of searching for the origin of the ice is, but after discussing with Orochimaru and Uzumaki Reed, they decided to start carpet drilling in the name of finding the chakra metal vein.

Ninjas, it makes perfect sense to look for a vein of chakra.

In addition, Orochimaru and Uzumaki Reed, one is the president of the Academy of Engineering and the other is the president of the research institute, so it is also a professional counterpart to let them preside over this kind of affairs, which is very reasonable!

Moreover, with the power of the current ninja government, it is also very normal to conduct carpet search and drilling in the way of crowd tactics!

After all, in order to make this drama more realistic, the political ninjas of Uttar Pradesh and the United Administrative Region also awarded a bounty for the veins, and anyone who can find the chakra metal ore and report it can receive an astronomical bounty, and there is no tax deduction!

Therefore, even if this huge 'prospecting campaign' had just been rolled out and interfered with Nagato and the others, who were located deep underground in the Snow Country, they only moved the base deeper underground and did not take it seriously.

After the official establishment of the ninja government, the former snow country daimyo and even the snow ninja village were banned, they were also ready to go deeper into the underground world.

Merely......

"Teacher Ah Fei......"

Nagato relied on his reincarnation eye perception to find Ah Fei, who was still sitting in the place where Madara Uchiha's coffin was missing.

“…… Ah, it's Nagato! ”

Although Ah Fei's tone was still jumpy, Nagato sensed an extremely subtle hint of silence from it.

This is not like Ah Fei's character!

Besides, a white peer, even if it is high-level and powerful like Ah Fei, will they have such a thing as emotions?

They don't even have brains!

However, Nagato didn't think much about it, so he put the disrespectful thoughts in his mind behind him, and asked respectfully, "We're going to move the base deeper underground, if it's convenient for you......"

"I'm going to wait for the Black Jedi!"

Ah Fei's attitude is very resolute.

"Mr. Hei said he was going to leave for a while, and you're staying in this ice cave......"

Nagato said with some hesitation.

He only thought that Kuro Jue left the base to find a traitor like Mr. Scorpion and bring him back to the organization, and he didn't know the true purpose of Kurokju's trip, let alone that this was the place where Madara Uchiha's corpse was stored.

"You're a good boy......"

Although Ah Fei was very angry at this time, he still said very patiently to the reincarnation eye host in his eyes: "However, there is absolutely nothing to do, I must wait until the sunspot comes back!" When the time comes, if it doesn't come here, you must let me know as soon as possible! ”

“…… Good. ”

The love-hate relationship between Mr. Hei Jue and Mr. Ah Fei, Nagato has long been surprised.

It's a big deal, but it's said at both ends, so it's not a concealment~

Maybe it's because he has never suffered setbacks and beatings from reality since he was a child under the ice field snow cave, and in order to better control Nagato, Hei Jue has always intended to put an end to the influence of scheming on Nagato, so although Nagato has some experience in the governance of the Snow Country, on the whole, the level of figuring out people's hearts is still insufficient - even at this time, he still feels that Ah Fei and Hei Jue are just conflicting and unwilling to meet.

"It's really a couple who love and kill each other......"

Nagato, who was still a little silly and sweet, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"By the way, why move the base?"

Ah Fei suddenly patted his head and found a blind spot.

"Recently, the ninja government has started a large-scale search for minerals, and due to exploration reasons, it may have a certain impact on the existing base, so Mr. Scorpion also suggested that we relocate the base to a deeper underground cave to avoid any accidents......

Nagato replied immediately.

"Searching for Mineral ......"

Ah Fei looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

But in fact, its head is empty at this time, except for a feeling that it is about to grow its brain, there is no other idea at all!

"If there are minerals, we can dig them directly in the ground!"

Ah Fei suddenly burst out with a sentence: "In this case, those Uchiha doglegs can only return in vain, and they will never disturb us again~"

“…… In that case, the remnants of the excavation of the mining area will reveal our presence even more obviously. ”

Nagato said very tactfully.

"Not bad! Actually, I'm just testing you! ”

Ah Fei looked like a teachable child, and nodded again and again.

Nagato nodded disapprerovingly, and then returned to the base to continue his work, anyway, Ah Fei has a lot of nonsensical things, and this time the problem is already within the very normal category.

……

Orochimaru's search area is the former Snow Country region, which is now the far west of the United Administrative Region.

And the chief administrative officer of the United Administrative Region is the Uchiha Quartet, the chairman of the Council of the Ninja United Council and the Imperial Family Somasa, so the support force he can mobilize is extremely huge, and he gathered three thousand ninjas in half a day, plus the hired ninjas transferred by the United Company, the snow country has almost turned upside down!

However, it was unexpectedly found three or four small chakra metal deposits within the boundaries of the Snow Country, which can be regarded as worthy of this labor.

But the extremely frozen Xuan Ice that Orochimaru was really looking for has never been found.

"None of this is right! The power of cold is still insufficient! ”

Although the ninja army also found quite a lot of deep ice in the name of sampling, after handing it over to Orochimaru, he could see at a glance that the 'goods were not right'.

The Uchiha Tokumitsu showed him the ice that he remembered, and he had obtained a small 'sample' before this trip, but even if the sample in his hand was only a small piece the size of a fist, it contained much more icy power than these old ice cubes the size of a millstone!

"Basically...... We've sampled all the ice within the boundaries of the Snow Country. ”

The ninja in charge of the exploration also had a difficult face, but he didn't dare to refute it directly, so he had to defend himself: "Perhaps, the special ice cube you mentioned is not from the Snow Country......

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Orochimaru categorically denied it.

The reason why he chose to be in charge of the search of the Snow Country was that he subconsciously felt that the Xuan Ice displayed by Uchiha Tokumitsu was produced in the Snow Country!

If he is denied now, he will not be slapped in the face!

You must know that although the two academies in the field of scientific research of the ninja government are brother units working together on the surface, in fact, in private, in order to grab topics, grab funds, etc., all kinds of competition have always existed, and Orochimaru, as the director of the research institute, is naturally unwilling to lose to the whirlpool reed name who serves as the engineering academy!

Although Orochimaru also knew that Uzumaki Reeda and even the entire Uzumaki clan were trying their best to make their family become a 'descendant' who shared weal and woe with the Uchiha Dynasty, in fact, his mind was not very focused on research and topics, but because of this, he couldn't lose!

"But ......"

The person in charge of leading the exploration team was full of bitterness.

"Use the method of well exploration to dig deep wells under the snowfield!"

Orochimaru said decisively: "When encountering resistance, the drill bit rushes straight ahead; The resistance increases, and the drill bit thickens! ”

"Ah......h

As soon as the responsible forbearance heard this, the whole person was numb!

Although it is true that drill bits and other equipment are prepared before departure, this is ice and snow after all! Where the slightest carelessness will cause an avalanche, this is also a device to dig a deep well!

"We're halfway through the day, and our mission is to find the ice cubes that meet the specifications in one day!"

But Orochimaru snorted coldly, and said with compassion: "If you continue to delay time, you know the consequences of not completing the task!" ”

The person in charge couldn't bear to say more.

He was just a grass ninja who was lucky enough to be included in the ninja army, and his status as a high-ranking official of the shogunate and dynasty like Orochimaru was very different, so naturally he didn't have the courage to continue to say anything.

It's just that the task is a little more difficult......

"Also, there are locations I marked on this map, so you can just dig a deep well according to it!"

Orochimaru handed over a map.

Shinobu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, I know that it will be dangerous to dig a deep well in the snowfield, but this time I don't want to know the casualty number, I just need to find Xuan Bing!"

Orochimaru turned his back, and his already gloomy tone was full of coldness: "If someone dies, you report it, and I will give you a pension!" ”

"Obey ......"

The words have come to this, and the unlucky bearer can only bow down and be ordered to leave.

……

Ah Fei, who was still sitting in the ice cave, felt more and more uncomfortable!

As the ant-like Dynasty ninja army tossed around the snowy ground, they came back after less than two hours of silence.

Moreover, I don't know what I'm doing this time, Ah Fei, who is nested in the underground ice cave, only feels that the noise coming from the ice layer is like countless drill bits that seem to be about to drill into his head, which makes him extremely irritable!

"What are these reptiles doing?"

Ah Fei, who was so angry that he jumped up and down, scratched his head and scratched his forehead, almost unable to bear it!

If it weren't for the fact that it still had a little sense, it would have rushed out of the ground and used the wooden escape to teach these 'reptiles' a good lesson!

"Bang!"

Just when Ah Fei was irritable, an extremely thick drill bit smashed the ice above his head, and then four hook claws popped out around the drill bit, nailed a part of the ice, and then retracted it up~

“……”

Ah Fei was almost stunned!

That's nearly 200 meters underground!

When did the ninja government's mineral exploration methods become so powerful?

"Oops!"

Suddenly, Ah Fei patted his head.

"Little Kuroko should know that someone might disturb Madara-sama's rest, so he mentioned transferring the coffin!"

In that case, it makes sense!

Ah Fei, who consciously realized the beauty of what Hei Jue had done, was suddenly in a good mood, so he shook his head and fled deeper underground, and after a short meeting with Nagato, he announced that he was going to return to the secret base of the Bird Country, and that Hei Jue didn't need to notify it when he returned.

Although Nagato didn't know why Teacher Ah Fei had changed a lot after most of the day, based on his understanding of Bai Jue's character, he didn't ask much.

As a result, among the people left behind by Madara Uchiha, Mu Dun Ah Fei, who had the most powerful combat power, quickly fled back to his secret base with guilt and shame for the black Jedi.

"It seems that I was wrong to blame the little black man before!"

Along the way, Ah Fei also began to 'deeply' reflect on what he had done in the past, and felt more and more that he had done a lot wrong.

So, Ah Fei found a cave underground and stopped, took out the "Deguang Quotations (Top Secret Edition of the Shogunate)" from his body and looked at it again.

It doesn't have a good memory, so it needs to be read often to 'learn from the past'.

"Self-reflection is the secret to success! Self-criticism is the beginning of success! ”

After Ah Fei read one of the sentences aloud, the guilt in his heart disappeared and he continued to shake his head and tail and sneak away.

Since he has self-reflected and criticized, all the unpleasantness in the past has naturally disappeared without a trace - as for whether Hei Jue accepts it or not, what does it matter to Ah Fei!

……

"Orochimaru-sama!"

Shinobi, who had just left for about two hours, rushed back to Orochimaru's headquarters with excitement on his face.

"Found it?"

Orochimaru immediately stood up and asked with a hint of urgency.

"Yes!"

The person in charge immediately unsealed a piece of ice with a big head from the sealing scroll as if offering a treasure.

"That's right, that's it!"

Orochimaru immediately confirmed that it was the type of ice he was looking for in this exploration!

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Orochimaru also took out the sample Xuan Bing and compared it for a long time.

Not only are the characteristics consistent, but judging from the impurities in the Xuan Bing, it is very likely that the sample in his hand was produced from the deep cave that was explored this time!

"However, you still bothered to polish it~"

After confirming that it was correct, Orochimaru also said something casually rarely.

The cross-section of the ice is smooth like a mirror, and there are also very delicate wheel patterns, which are carefully polished at a glance.

And this polishing effect is also very good, which is very convenient for Orochimaru to observe the impurities inside the Xuanbing.

"No, that's it when we fished out of the deep well, maybe this is the magic of nature!"

Ren Ren didn't think there was anything unusual about it, so he replied casually.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment.

First of all, this is a rather inexplicable task, and it is a sample of unknown origin in his hand, and then he excavates the Xuanbing that is suspected to have traces of artificial processing under the snowfield......

Orochimaru couldn't help but think about it.

But now is not the time to find out.

"Record the location of the wellhead and continue digging elsewhere!"

Orochimaru's face was solemn, and after a few casual words, he immediately flashed away in the direction of Konoha.

……

Uchiha Tokumitsu also got the Xuanbing ore sample sent back by Orochimaru for the first time.

"Complete the task in one day......

Looking at the ice cubes that were exactly the same as those in Madara Uchiha's coffin, Uchiha Tokumitsu was very satisfied with Orochimaru's performance!

"All of this is all thanks to the support of the army ninjas......"

Orochimaru said modestly.

It was enough for him to successfully complete the mission, and naturally he didn't mind taking credit for the army ninjas who were willing to take risks.

"Very good......

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in satisfaction, and then summoned the squire ninja and ordered, "Inform Shiina Qing and let him lead the strategic support force to infiltrate the Snow Country area!" ”

"Also, let Wei Mingqing lead his troops back to the Iron Country region and wait to assemble with the headquarters!"

After making arrangements, Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Orochimaru, "Get ready, come with me tomorrow!" ”

"When the time comes, there will be a big surprise!" (End of chapter)
