In the past, Shikamaru also knew that this place existed, and he also knew that Naruto conducted many experiments here.
But Shikamaru didn't know exactly what was inside the root base and what experiments had been conducted.
Today, Naruto personally led the way and brought Shikamaru here, undoubtedly in response to Shikamaru's quick statement.
The Nara family trusts them so much, and Naruto has to express corresponding trust. After all, trust is mutual.
Moreover, a lot of research on the root base will be promoted in the future, and Shikamaru's help is indispensable for this. Therefore, it is necessary for Shikamaru to understand some things in advance.
If it were normal, Shikamaru's mind would definitely be on the content of those experiments. But now, his mind has completely changed.
"Naruto, you have only been exposed to the Shadow Ninja Technique for such a short time. Are you too impatient to conduct the experiment so quickly?" Shikamaru was concerned about this matter.
After all, in such a short time, Naruto probably only read the scroll once? How much can he understand in such a short time?
Shikamaru remembered clearly that it took him a long time to learn the first shadow ninja technique on the scroll.
A voice intervened from beside him: "You don't have to worry at all. With Naruto-sama's intelligence, you only need to look at it to understand."
Shikamaru was startled by the sudden sound, and when he looked to the side, he realized it was a man wearing round-rimmed glasses.
"Ya... Kabuto Yakushi?" Shikamaru thought about it carefully, and finally remembered that he had met this person once during the Chunin Exam.
Kabuto Yakushi nodded: "That's right. I am an experimenter at this research base and one of Naruto-sama's assistants. We have already worked on creating a chakra-aggregating life form before."
"As for why shadow life should be created, it was decided by Naruto-sama. I don't know the reason." Yakushi Kabuto said with a smile on his face.
Naruto, who was walking at the front, heard this and had no intention of explaining.
He can't say, have you heard of the "Black Shadow Corps"?
We walked all the way to the depths of the root base, until we came to a closed laboratory door.
The pharmacist stepped forward, made a few fingerprints, and opened the door to the laboratory.
That's right, the doors in the root base are all sealed, and they need to be opened and closed in a 'seal' way.
The space inside the laboratory is very simple. It is a stone platform. On the stone platform is placed a Prajna mask with a ghost-like face.
Shikamaru recognized this kind of mask. Some wizards who danced around would use them, but he didn't know why they were put here.
He looked around again and saw various spells engraved on the stone platform, spreading from the platform to the surrounding walls.
Rather than saying this is a laboratory, this is like an underground religious sacrificial place.
Naruto walked step by step to the stone platform, reached out and picked up an oil lamp on the ground.
When the lamp is lit, a small bean-sized flame burns, casting a dim yellow light.
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, everyone's shadows were stretched very long and projected onto the wall.
"This looks more like a sacrificial scene of an underground religion." Shikamaru complained in his mind.
"Who is willing to contribute his shadow first?" Naruto asked.
Shikamaru continued to complain in his mind: "Even the words he spoke were like the tone of an underground religious priest... Will some ninjas jump out and act as righteous men next?"
But he was just complaining in his heart.
Gu Huan
Not to mention that this is a heavily defended base. Even if someone does rush here, they will still have to face the super boss-Uzumaki Naruto.
Throwing the brave men who have just left the novice village directly into the cave of the final boss, the dragon, wouldn't this mean that as many brave men come as many brave men die?
The complaint in my heart only lasted for a moment, but in reality, it was just after Naruto finished his last sentence.
There were only two people here besides Naruto, so Shikamaru stood up directly: "I'll do it."
Naruto nodded and commanded: "You stand over here."
He handed the oil lamp in his hand to Yakushi Kabuto. Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Shikamaru's shadow was stretched out for a long distance.
Before walking to the stone platform, Naruto thought and instantly entered the Yin-Yang Fish Sage mode!
There are two yin and yang fishes, one black and one white, rotating in the pupils, and even the hair has become black and white.
"Shadow Ninja Technique!" Naruto shouted softly, and his shadow immediately stretched out and connected to Shikamaru's shadow.
Then he formed dozens of seals in an instant, and with each seal, Shikamaru felt his body become a little colder.
Just when he was about to say something, Naruto finally finished forming the seal.
"Sealed Ninja Technique, knot!" Naruto slapped his palm on the Prajna mask on the stone platform, and then, the mask began to tremble as if it had a life of its own.
Just as Naruto finished these words, Shikamaru intuitively felt that something seemed to be coming out of his shadow!
From Naruto's perspective, he could clearly see a black-clad ninja wearing traditional ninja robes emerging from Shikamaru's shadow.
They have slender bodies and hold various weapons in their hands, such as shurikens, long knives, and sticks... What they have in common is that their eyes all emit a stunning red light!
"Look back, Shikamaru," Naruto said with satisfaction, "This is the Black Shadow Corps!"
Shikamaru turned around as he was told and saw such a group of black shadow ninjas that made people shudder at the first glance.
"They are real!" Shikamaru exclaimed, and at the same time he also discovered the greatest use of this group of shadow ninjas. It would be perfect for these 'people' to serve as ANBU ninjas.
Of course, the premise is to have a certain amount of wisdom. If it's as dull as a puppet, it's not very useful.
"Take him, Black Shadow Corps!" Naruto stretched out his hand and pointed at Yakushi Kabuto who was standing beside him holding an oil lamp.
The moment they heard Naruto's order, these shadow ninjas immediately moved out and surrounded Yakushi Kabuto from all directions.
Of course, Kabuto Yakushi would not stand there stupidly, but would move out of the way in an instant.
The shadow ninjas immediately changed their direction and fired several shurikens at the same time, blocking Yakushi Kabuto's escape direction.
Seeing this scene, Shikamaru secretly cheered. This alone is enough to show that these shadow ninjas have sufficient intelligence and are by no means dull puppets.
Yakushi Kabuto also had a look of joy on his face: "Ninja Technique - Hidden Shadow Multi-Snake Hand!"
He unfolded his sleeves, and six white snakes emerged from them. Each had a big mouth and bit directly at the shadow ninjas who were approaching!
The bite force of these snakes is far stronger than that of normal snakes, and they can bite through the arms of the shadow ninjas in one breath.
But the shadow ninjas did not suffer much damage. Their bodies seemed to be liquefied, and the bitten parts quickly returned to their original state. They are all shadow bodies, and to a certain extent they are all immortal!
Their attack was extremely dangerous. A shadow ninja soldier drew his samurai sword and chopped off a snake head.
Seeing the other black shadow ninja soldiers attacking and killing Yakushi Kabuto, Naruto decisively stopped in time: "Everyone stop!"
These shadow ninja soldiers were indeed obedient and stopped moving.
