Konoha Village Root, a department that never appears in the eyes of the world, this department only exists in the underground of Konoha Village, never see the light of day, all ninjas who join here will be planted with a silence technique, and they will not be allowed to reveal any information about the root for eternity.

This is the darkest place in Konoha, where all the ninjas of the roots are not allowed to have feelings, ignore all moral bottom lines, and perform the dirtiest and disgusting tasks, sometimes to enemies, sometimes to their own people.

They carry out missions ranging from assassination, intelligence, infiltration, rebellion, espionage, and sometimes even the killing of their comrades, and their own lives are not even their own.

The base of the root is located in the underground of Konoha Village, like a huge cylindrical pit with a diameter of 100 meters, which is intricately guarded and heavily guarded, and anyone entering this place needs to obtain permission from the Hokage.

Due to the Nine-Tails attack, the root during this time was very deserted, and most of the root ninjas were sent out to carry out missions, and there were only a dozen guards in the entire base, and the rest of the outer defense work was temporarily replaced by the dark department.

In the dark corner, a small black shadow flashed by, silently burrowing into a bowl-sized vent.

In the backyard of Amber's house, an inconspicuous corner was dug out of a deep pit by Amber at some point, and nothing could be seen in the dark hole.

Suddenly, a petite figure sprang out of the hole and landed on Amber's shoulder, who was anxiously waiting.

"Phew, how about you?" Amber asked with a sigh of relief.

"You guessed it right, there is indeed a hidden passage in the drainage channel, but the passage is permanently closed, protected by an enchantment, I got into it through the ventilation duct next to it, guess where it leads?" asked Ying mysteriously leaning over Amber's face.

"Where is it?"

"It's the underground base of the roots. ”

"Roots?" Amber frowned, she didn't expect this department to be involved.

Through previous tracking, Amber found that the place where Mr. Inoue disappeared every time he disappeared had one thing in common, that is, at the mouth of a certain drainage channel.

There are two sets of drainage systems in the underground of Konoha Village, one is a sewage channel, which is paved by circular pipes, and the other is an intricate drainage channel, this passage is all semi-circular arch, made of stone, high enough for people to walk upright, once it encounters heavy rain, this passage carries the role of draining the entire Konoha Village, but it is usually closed here, only as an emergency underground passage.

Mr. Inoue's movements are obviously looking for something in the flood drainage channel frequently, Amber once asked the cats to search the drainage channel, and recorded a complete map of the entire channel, at that time, limited to the cats' IQ and judgment ability, and did not find anything special, so this time Amber could only let Ying go out in person, and sure enough, there was a discovery.

"Trouble, how could Inoue-sensei have something to do with the roots?" Amber rubbed her eyebrows and had a headache, the roots are not a good place to get along, and the group of ninjas who have no discipline and no bottom line in the roots will definitely not end well.

Just as Amber was thinking about what to do, an eagle's chirp spread throughout Konoha Village, a signal for all the elite shinobi to assemble.

"Hmm, has something happened?" Amber looked at the sky in confusion.

At the same time......

The Hokage building has become a pot of porridge, and all the envoys' entourage are blocked at the door of the Hokage building, the reason is very simple, early this morning, the envoy disappeared, in his bedroom, quietly.

Everyone panicked, the envoy who came this time was a celebrity around the daimyo, in a high position, if he lost it in Konoha Village, it would be troublesome, and the daimyo who controlled the economic lifeline of Konoha Village shook his hands casually, and the village had to tighten his belt.

The three generations were originally going to only send the dark department to investigate in a low-key manner, but they were known to everyone by the group of bastards outside, and in desperation, the three generations had no choice but to issue an emergency summoning order, and the whole village mobilized to search together.

Generally speaking, when searching this kind of thing, the more people there are, the more chaotic it becomes, and now that the whole village of Konoha Village is mobilized, it will be a mess at all, and the streets and alleys are full of searchers.

In the midst of this chaos, one or two people were missing from the ranks of the envoys, and no one would notice.

In the dark drainage channel, a black shadow walked silently, and the occasional search team did not hide its whereabouts, and it was easy for the black shadow to avoid it in advance.

A quarter of an hour later, the shadow stopped in a passage, the deepest part of which was a dead end, blocked by a huge cover.

The black shadow walked over to the rock and reached out and touched the rock lightly, and an invisible barrier flickered twice.

With a sneer, the black shadow took out a scroll and unfolded it, sticking it to the barrier, and the next moment, a faint yellow light flashed, and the barrier without any gaps was actually stretched open a gap for people to pass through.

Taking out a chakra knife, the black shadow mobilized the chakra input knife and slashed lightly at the rock, and the hard rock was suddenly cut off like tofu.

Soon, the huge rock was dug through, and on the other side there was still a stone passage, and an iron gate blocked the way.

The black shadow lay on the iron door and listened carefully, and after a while, he pulled out a slender stabbing sword and pressed it against a place on the iron door, paused slightly, and suddenly stabbed in, and in an instant, the arm-long stabbing sword easily sank into the iron door, and a faint snort came.

Drawing back the bayonet, a trace of blood appeared on the tip of the sword.

The shadow listened for a while, and after confirming that it was okay, he cut the deadbolt and opened the door, and instead of a dark stone passageway, there was a dimly lit hallway with candlesticks hanging on the wall.

The figure of the black shadow gradually became clearer, the black clothes were masked, and a long knife was behind the back.

The corpse of a ninja was lying on the ground, the back of his head pierced by a bayonet sword, and a large amount of blood was pouring out of the wound.

Without stopping, the man in black quickly walked through the corridor, looking around for something, and occasionally a non-ninja staff member would pass by, and the man in black would not hesitate to twist their necks without making a sound.

It didn't take long for the man in black to stop outside a door with a door number plastered with the words "Archives" written on it.

Another scroll was attached, the barrier was broken, and with a creak, the man in black opened the door of the archive room, quietly slipped in and closed it again, and a huge room appeared in front of him, row after row of shelves were stuffed with file folders, no less than a thousand by sight, each file folder corresponded to a member of the roots.

Row by row, a dusty file fell into the eyes of the man in black, and the file read 0792.

A hint of expectation crossed the eyes of the man in black, and after a while, the file was pulled out, and the first page was opened, and a resume appeared in front of him, and a photo was pasted on the resume, a very playful beautiful girl, with long black hair tied into two pigtails, and a grimace when taking pictures.

However, at the bottom of the resume, a red seal was pressed on it, and the four big red words "Confirmed Death" were as dazzling as blood, and the tip of the nose seemed to smell a trace of blood.

Ticking, a tear fell on the resume, the man in black fell to his knees, hugged the file tightly and cried silently, and the whole world seemed to turn gray.
