My older sister is Kushina

While Uzumaki Hanamichi and Orochimaru were engaged in a series of battles in the Sky Realm, a figure moved swiftly inside the Root organization's secret prison.

That figure was none other than a shadow clone left behind by Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Before entering the underground passage, Uzumaki Hanamichi deliberately left behind a shadow clone. The purpose of this shadow clone was actually very simple: to send action signals to Namikaze Minato and the first squad of the Anbu outside the prison, depending on the situation.

The shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi also transformed into the white striped mask of Shimura Jiji. He first infiltrated the underground to conduct a secret experiment to confirm the situation.

A strange black sphere, several meters in diameter, appeared at the original location of Orochimaru and Uzumaki Hanato in the underground laboratory.

The black sphere is the Void Realm that the whirlpool flower path has summoned.

The Sky Realm may not appear large from the outside, but its interior space is quite vast.

Upon seeing the black sphere, Uzumaki Hanamichi's shadow clone naturally realized that the main body's battle plan had succeeded, and that Orochimaru had likely been sealed in the Sky Realm.

In this way, he can begin the next step of his action plan.

Whirlpool Flower Path's shadow clone quickly left the underground secret experimental base area, then returned to the prison area above, and arrived at a hidden location outside the prison.

He first used a spell to leave the prison's barrier, and then immediately sent out the signal to act.

Outside the valley, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others were waiting. When they saw the signal flare rising from the direction of the prison, their expressions changed slightly.

The members of the first squad of the Dark Division immediately prepared to take action.

However, they did not rush to act, but instead looked at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

The commander of this operation was none other than the fourth generation Minato Namikaze.

Seeing the long-awaited signal flare, Minato Namikaze didn't hesitate. He glanced at everyone, then looked up and gestured, "Move!"

After Minato Namikaze gave the signal, the members of the first squad of the Dark Division immediately transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the Root organization's secret prison in the valley.

Several of Minato's close associates also quickly followed the first squad of the Anbu.

Minato Namikaze looked at the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane, who were witnesses, and said, "Gentlemen, let's join them too."

Koharu Utatane nodded to Homura Mitokado and Fugaku Uchiha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

Soon, Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other four turned into afterimages and flashed towards the defenses of the Root organization's secret prison.

The first squad of the Dark Division, consisting of more than a dozen people, quickly arrived at the location of the Uzumaki Hanamichi Shadow clone.

They quickly took on their respective roles.

Before this, Uzumaki Hanamichi had already confirmed with the members of the first squad of the Dark Division how to break the barrier. They took out the talismans they had prepared in advance.

Those talismans are precisely the talismans used to break the barrier.

With everything ready, the first squad of the Dark Division and the others simultaneously set up a protective barrier.

"boom……"

A violent roar.

The barrier surrounding Root's secret prison was quickly breached.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the first squad of the Dark Division, led by the shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi, quickly entered the inner area of ​​the barrier through the gap.

Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the others followed closely behind.

The Root organization's secret prison was guarded by only a dozen or so people. Although they were alert when the shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi sent a signal, they were powerless against the swift and forceful infiltration of the Anbu First Squad. Among them, only three were Jonin with Tailed Beasts, and the rest were Chunin or Genin. They were no match for the strength of the Anbu First Squad and Minato Namikaze.

The group advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly subduing all the Root organization members in the prison area.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane barely made a move, and quickly followed the shadow clone of Hanamichi Uzumaki to a closed stone wall.

Whirlpool Flower Shadow Clone: ​​"This is the door to the secret underground experiment."

After speaking, the shadow clone of the whirlpool flower raised his hand to form a hand seal, and then placed one hand on the central area of ​​the stone wall.

Black runes appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the stone wall slowly parted to both sides.

A passage leading to the underground area appeared before them.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow clone of the whirlpool flower led everyone through the passage and quickly arrived at the underground secret experimental base area.

Upon entering the underground secret experiment, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly saw sleeping experimental subjects in the sealed chamber, as well as some imprisoned children.

These children all wear collars around their necks, and each collar has a different number on it.

There were also several assistant researchers in the laboratory area. Faced with pressure from the current Hokage and the Konoha leadership, these people quickly revealed the relevant experiments.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious. Although he had suspected Orochimaru before, he still had some hope for his capable disciple. Now it seemed that his hope had been shattered. He never expected that his disciple would betray him and collude with Danzo Shimura to carry out inhumane and forbidden experiments.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were also very surprised, even somewhat incredulous.

Mitokado Homura: "I never imagined they would do something so horrifying in secret."

Koharu Utatane: "I used to trust Danzo quite a bit!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fist: "Orochimaru, where are you now?"

The shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi explained, "He and my main body should be sealed in a special space right now, which is the black sphere you just saw. They should be fighting right now."

The people around him were surprised, not expecting that the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division would have such methods.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Then, can we enter the spherical space?"

The shadow clone of Uzumaki Hanamichi replied, "I'm sorry, Third Hokage, I'm afraid we can't enter the sealed space for the time being. However, the seal should be lifted once they finish their battle."

Fugaku Uchiha said thoughtfully, "It seems that Captain Wolf Fang is very confident in his strength."

In fact, Fugaku Uchiha had just secretly observed the black sphere, even using his Mangekyou Sharingan, but he didn't see anything unusual. Now, based on the words of the Wolf Fang clone, it's not hard to guess that the Wolf Fang captain's main body probably wanted to deal with Orochimaru in the black sphere space. Orochimaru's strength is extraordinary; he is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and his strength has reached the Kage level.

Uzumaki Hanamichi's shadow clone glanced at Uchiha Fugaku and replied unhurriedly, "There shouldn't be any problem. The space sealed in the Sky Domain is completely isolated from the outside world, which will restrict many space-based ninjutsu, such as the Summoning Jutsu. This should limit Orochimaru's strength."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were also somewhat surprised. Although they had witnessed Wolf Fang's strength at the Ninjutsu Exchange Conference before, they did not expect that the opponent would be confident enough to defeat Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin.
