Chapter 24: The Regiment
Running away from home because of the oppression of the system?
The awakening of the nature of the murderer after the restraint of the master?
Or was she caught by someone who sensed her anomaly?
The brain-opening summer night naturally can't imagine that the white-haired girl who disappeared from home is just out for a walk. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's been a while since she was summoned to this world, and the Lord named Summer Night, although he is not bad to her, does not allow himself to materialize anyway, forbidding her to appear in front of others.
Although it is somewhat regrettable that he can't enjoy the physical life, since the master keeps himself spiritual, Jack has no reason to refute it.
It's just that today her lord gave permission to 'do what you want', and Jack didn't figure out what he wanted to do for a long, long time.
In that case, let's go outside and see what's going on.
With this in mind, Jack began to wander among Konoha and the reason why she ran to this kind of place was that this dark and gloomy underground space was more to her liking than Konoha Village, where every street was filled with happiness.
For Jack, even across the streets, she still keenly smelled the rotten smell emanating from beneath the Hokage building.
This forbidden place, which has not been set foot by outsiders for decades, is no different from the white-haired girl to the unguarded streets, even if the guards here are the most elite shadows in the entire village, and it is a little too reluctant to find the assassin who can completely restrain his aura.
Sneaking all the way in wasn't a bit stressful for Jack, and it was clear that the dark, blood-smelling environment was much better than the well-lit room on a summer night.
Jack was clearly pleased with the place, and walked around as a visitor.
After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, someone finally noticed Jack's presence and made his own voice.
"I always thought that this root, which could not see the sun, would never have a guest coming. I didn't expect that a teenage imp would sneak in like this today...... It seems that after too long of lurking, even the vigilance of the roots has decreased. The tone of the voice sounded a little unhappy, and it was clear that his lair had been touched so easily, which made his mood extremely bad.
The figure that came out of the shadows with the voice of the words was a man who looked very old, although his standing posture was still upright, but even with one hand on crutches, he still staggered, and the long years had carved wrinkles on his face. Judging from the first impression alone, most people will only think of him as an ordinary old man.
It's just that there is always a palpitating horror feeling coming from his bandaged right hand and right eye, constantly reminding others that the old man who can appear here is not an ordinary person.
"Tell me, is there anything you did when you infiltrated this long-defunct root headquarters?" Faced with a white-haired girl he had never seen before, the old man wanted to find out the identity of the other party in a dialogue first.
However, the so-called dialogue refers to the conversation between two or more people, and if only one person is talking, it can only be called self-talk.
For Jack, in the face of the old man's question she didn't know, she naturally had no reason to answer, relatively speaking, she seemed to be more interested in the environment here, being locked in that small room of not a few square meters for too long on a summer night, this place with her favorite smell attracted her attention more.
She still looked at the walls around her with interest, as if to see how the dark room resembled the city called the Fog Capital.
And the old man's face became more and more serious.
It's not that he was angry by the girl's ignorance, but he finally determined that the girl had a unique way of astringent, even with his strength, he still couldn't detect the girl's existence, even if his naked eyes could clearly see the girl's appearance, but in the old man's perception, her location was empty.
This is the embodiment of the other party's perfect obscuring of his own breath.,If you can't directly confirm it with the naked eye.,It's absolutely impossible to find the existence of the girl.。
Let's not mention the identity of the other party for the time being, and what they did to sneak in. The old man was more interested in the way he could completely dispel his breath.
In his opinion, the only reason why he could do such a thing at such a young age was because he had a special blood inheritance limit or secret technique.
You must know that for so many years, there has never been a person who can sneak into the shadows without being noticed, and this place, as the base camp of the shadows and the 'roots', is even more vigilant than the Hokage Building.
If the members of the root who have obtained this secret art and give it to their own roots are used by ninjas who have lost their feelings and desires, there may be no place in this world that cannot be infiltrated.
Vital information, expensive resources, and secret techniques that everyone treasures, all of them will be looted by the old man without a word!
This is undoubtedly related to the future of the village, if you can get the secret technique on the girl's body, then you can make Konoha, who has become the head of the five major ninja villages, prosper a little more! It can also make this old man, who has been incognito for many years, a little stronger!
Thinking of this, the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, for him, this white-haired girl he had never seen was definitely the best gift from God to him for so many years!
And whether there is a conspiracy in this, and what is the identity of this girl who suddenly appeared, it doesn't matter to the old man.
The crutches in the old man's hand touched the ground gently, and the soft sound of 'snapping' was particularly harsh in this quiet environment.
As if receiving a signal, the sound of Suosuo kept coming from all directions, and it was the sound of many suppressed footsteps coming together.
Although he was completely unaware of Jack's existence before, since the old man had already stood up in person, how could those shadows not notice what was going on here?
And with the old man's movements, Jack, who was still looking around on his own, finally turned around, and she didn't even understand where she had come and what kind of opponent she had provoked, and she was already surrounded by the other party.
What appeared in the field of vision were four figures wrapped in black, wearing animal-like masks and carrying short knives behind their backs, approaching Jack in front of him and behind him.
If it's a summer night here, you'll recognize their dark identities at a glance.
Jack didn't know what the mask meant, but the hostility emanating from the four people gathered around him was unmistakable.
Jack likes to slash people, but that doesn't mean she likes to be hacked, so she decides to take out her weapon and take out her opponent before she can do it.
Seeing the blade pulled out of the scabbard behind the girl, the four dark parts have obviously tightened their bodies, since the other party has the courage to dare to sneak into the root alone, then the possibility of having combat power that does not match the age is very large. As the shadows, they have experienced many more risks than other ninjas, and naturally they have long understood the truth that the lion fights the rabbit with all their strength.
Before they could make a move, however, Jack's body suddenly lunged forward, lunging forward at an almost unreactive speed.
Even if he had been vigilant enough for this girl who had quietly sneaked in, Jack's sudden burst of advance at this moment was still faster than the group of people imagined, and the two shadows approaching from the front with knives inevitably had a moment of negligence due to astonishment.
The sound of breaking wind came howling, and the girl's speed even surpassed the elite of these ninjas, and when the two shadows found that their enemies were far beyond their expectations, they had already subconsciously turned from attack to defense, retracting the short knife in front of their bodies, and always ready to block the opponent's slash.
However, as if she had no interest in them at all, the girl kept walking between the two of them, and in an instant she left them behind.
Her target was the old man......
The old man with an aura of terror far beyond others.
Danzo!
