Chapter 56: Goodbye
In terms of the impact after the fact, Sasuke's defection is not a big deal for Konoha, even if he is already the last Uchiha of Konoha Clan, it can't compare to the impact of the previous Konoha collapse plan on the village of Konoha. And for Naruto, it's a huge turning point.
If becoming the Hokage and being recognized by others was his biggest dream before, now he has to add one more to bring Sasuke back to Konoha.
A duel between the two after Terminatoria catches up with Sasuke declares the operation a failure. Before, Naruto's companions were blocked by the enemy one by one, Ding Ji and Shikamaru dealt with the four, and the recovered Xiao Li rushed to help Naruto stop Junmaro, and then there was a big battle between Iairo and Junmaro.
A genius in physical arts, the last corpse bone vein blood ninja Jun Maro still fell under the disease in his body.
But the purpose should be achieved?
This was the last thought of the man before he died.
By the time the dust had settled and Jiraiya returned to the Uragura, it was already the next day.
Jiraiya was naturally in a bad mood, and Naruto's experience reminded him of himself who had learned about what Orochimaru had done years ago. To some extent, what happened to them was similar, and the good friends suddenly turned black and turned into traitors.
It's just that Orochimaru is even more absolute.
Naruto was the child of fate after all, and Sasuke was chased back by him in the end, and he didn't let Konoha suffer heavier losses. Orochimaru is different, three generations were killed by him himself. The motive for defecting is not Sasuke's extenuating type, but it is just to attack his own companions for the sake of human experiments.
This can't be blamed on anyone else, who made the few words that came out of the mouth of the Great Toad Immortal be Naruto Uzumaki instead of him.
Yuzang didn't ask, what he needed to care about now was the development of his own abilities.
Time is like air in your hand, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Zilai also learned a lot about Yuzang's ability, and also put forward a lot of feasible suggestions, which made Yuzang feel that he benefited a lot.
At present, his strength has improved a lot.
"Time is not bad, and the next road will be up to you." Jiraiya is already ready to leave Konoha directly to do his own thing: "I will always track down the Xiao Organization in the future, maybe we will meet again in the future."
To Jiraiya's joking remarks, Yuzo smiled: "By then, if I'm already a member of Xiao, I'll ask Jiraiya-sama's subordinates to be merciful!"
"Hahaha!" Jiraiya patted Yuzo's shoulder and laughed loudly: "Boy! Take care! ”
Watching Jiraiya's figure disappear, Yuzo turned his head to look at the root members who had been waiting for a long time and said, "Lead the way."
The man was dressed in a stereotypical dark costume meticulously and did not speak. He turned around and walked to the wall of the chamber and pressed a hidden mechanism, revealing a long deep passageway.
To be honest, Yuzo actually didn't know his exact location now, although he had paid attention to it when he came here with Jiraiya, but after entering this base, he didn't know how long he had been walking to get here, and he was already in a daze.
Since this guy doesn't like to talk, Yuzo doesn't mean to talk to him anymore, just follow him.
The entire dark passage was made out of stone like the previous place, and it was probably the work of the Earth Escape Ninja. With such a convenient way of building, it is no wonder that many organizations like to build such underground bases.
Torches can be seen at intervals, proving that the ventilation system is very good. Naruto World has electricity and lights, and I don't know why we didn't install lights here, it would be much better than these torches that need to be replaced.
What is the mindset of these guys? Maybe it's better to have a torch in it? It seems that there are many places where the dark base is...
It's actually quite simple, this place hasn't been used for a while, and the torches have just been installed. After all, there are a lot of Konoha in places like here, and naturally many of them have been idle, and I don't know when they will be used.
Except for the footsteps of the two people walking, only the crackling sound of some small flames and water droplets could be heard around.
After about half an hour, Yuzo felt the road start to slope upwards. Sure enough, it didn't take long for this dark passage to reach its end, and a stone wall blocked the two of them.
The guy who led the way remained silent, reaching out and pressing his hand against the stone wall with the glow of chakra.
Yuzo thought that this stone wall was moved by some mechanical mechanism, because under the full "scanning" of the perception line, this stone wall was real and not some illusion or something. Then something beyond his comprehension appeared, and the stone wall rippled, like the surface of the water, and the root creature poked into it, and then gradually faded into it.
It's as if it really doesn't exist.
"Keep up!" The taciturn guy finally said two words.
Just a few steps away, there was a light outside. This made Yuzang feel a little puzzled, he was going to see Tuanzang, right? Why did you run to the ground? Normally, shouldn't we continue to meet in some secret room under the ground?
Yuzo, who hadn't seen the sun for too long, covered his eyes with his hands so that his eyes would not be hurt if they couldn't adapt to the sudden bright light. It was the first time he hadn't seen the outside world for more than ten days, and he felt comfortable after breathing in the fresh air. No matter how well the ventilation system under the ground is done, it cannot avoid the dampness and dull smell carried by the air.
As his eyes got used to it, he could see clearly where he was standing.
It looks like a courtyard with some bamboo and flowers around it, but it looks like it's rarely taken care of. Behind him was the place where he came out, a large rockery, with many strange-shaped holes.
He came out of one of the holes, which was more than a man high.
To be honest, there is a sense of déjà vu, I have seen a lot of similar episodes in some TV series in my previous life, but I didn't expect to experience it in this world.
The courtyard is not small, and it looks like it must be the kind that only large families live in, just like the buildings on the land of the Uchiha and the Hyuga clan that he had seen before.
The Japanese-style two-story wooden building was right in front of him.
Continuing to follow down the hallway, the plank under his feet made a subtle creaking sound due to the weight of his body, and the almost inaudible sound was still clear to the ninja's ears.
Especially a ninja like Danzo.
Before the root who led the way could stand firm and speak, the sliding door was pulled open by the people inside. There are really not many wooden leaves in this structural style, and ordinary people's homes generally do not use such doors.
Danzang stood at the door, glanced at the root and whispered, "Go down."
The people at the root acted simply, and they turned around and left without saying much. Only Yuzang was left standing alone outside the door, looking at the old guy Tuanzang.
"Come in." Tuan Zang basically spoke in the same tone whenever he spoke, and after saying these three words, he turned around and walked into the room.
It's a lot of space, but there are no decorations and furniture, it's empty.
In the middle is a low table with two cushions.
Danzang knelt down to the side and motioned for him to sit down.
Yuzang didn't say much, he was actually still under a lot of pressure. Although I could comfort myself with various thoughts before, I can really realize what it is like to face such an old guy at this time.
The kneeling posture is also uncomfortable, and although this habit was introduced to Japan from ancient China, it is true that Yuzo still hates this sitting posture. Fortunately, I have learned it before, and although I am not proficient, I can cope with it somewhat.
"How are you feeling in the past half month?" Tuan Zang looked unhurried and began to manipulate a set of tea sets on the table.
I don't know what kind of tea this is, Danzang added a lot of things such as salt and chili peppers, and a brown liquid, and a hint of sourness in the air probably proves that it is vinegar or something. There were all sorts of other messes, and then Danzou was grinding it in a circle in the tea bowl with something like a wooden brush.
"Very well, Jiraiya-sama taught me a lot of things." Yuzo's answer was decent.
"I know, you must have a lot of concerns." Tuan Zang seemed to have made the tea, put down the "brush" and said, "Actually, there is nothing, what I made before said before, but now it is different."
Yuzo was silent, he didn't know what he could say.
Tuan Zang's attitude at this time has changed a little, and his attitude should have been high in the previous meeting in the shadows, and although it was almost the same posture at this time, there was always something different.
As for the difference, Yuzo can't say, it's just a feeling.
