Chapter 20: The Hokage Summons
Following behind the Shadow Ninja, Chiba walked towards the Hokage Building.
However, just as he was about to reach the Hokage Building, the Shadow Ninja who led the way suddenly turned around and walked north.
"Where are you going? Didn't you go to the Hokage Building? ”
Qian Yu subconsciously asked.
"You don't have to know where to go, you just need to follow me, and I'll take you to meet Hokage-sama."
The shadow ninja said without looking back, and his feet didn't stop.
Qianyu could only follow him, but his heart turned away.
In fact, he felt that something was not quite right before, why did the Hokage not see him sooner or later, and prefer to see him at this time? It's not that there's anything wrong with this time period, but the thing is, there's no reason for the Hokage not to know about him being discharged from the hospital and going home today. Even if there is anything important, it should be tomorrow to summon him, after all, even if something big really happens in the village, it will not be Qianyu's turn to intervene.
And if it's just asking questions, what's the difference between a day earlier and a day later?
It's just that he didn't think too much about it at the time, and just persuaded himself that there must be something important for the Hokage to summon him.
Now it seems that things are not so simple, if the third generation really summons him, where will he be if he is not in the Hokage Building? Almost all of the work of the three generations is done in the Hokage Building, and occasionally they go out, either in a situation similar to the one they came to the hospital to see Chiba, or something really happened to the village.
But it's still the same sentence, if something really happens in the village, where will it be Qianyu's turn to solve it? If you just ask questions, there is absolutely no need to move places.
Chiba instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't ask again, but obediently followed behind the shadow ninja, and at the same time, his heart had already raised his vigilance, and Chakra also began to flow slowly in his body. Although he can't use chakra with high intensity, it doesn't mean that he can't use ninjutsu at all.
It's just that he can't use abilities like super electromagnetic guns and needle rain, but he can still control one or two steel nails. Don't underestimate one or two steel nails, if Magneto is here, even if only one steel nail is used, killing the people of this village is probably not a big problem. Of course, Qian Yu can't do Magneto's degree, but he is not muddy, if there are really people with bad intentions, he will use his superpowers to teach the other party how to behave.
The two continued on their way, and the Hokage building was quickly left behind by them, and finally they came to a very ordinary house.
"Follow me."
The Shadow Ninja said, pushing the door open and walking in.
Qian Yu followed closely and walked into the small courtyard, and he found that this was really a very ordinary courtyard, no different from the courtyard of ordinary people. He followed the Shadow Ninja into the room, then stopped at the rest room.
I saw the Shadow Ninja walk to the east side of the room and gently step on the fifth floor against the wall.
Then he took a half-step back, and the floor was suddenly lifted from underneath and a head with the same mask sticking out. The ninja who came here with a thousand feathers before had a mask like a fox's face, and this ninja who poked his head out from below had a mask in the shape of a dog.
Dog Mask looked at Chiha, then at the Fox Masked Ninja who came with Chiba, and then retracted his head.
"Alright, go down with me."
The fox mask made a "please" gesture, but he didn't move.
When Qian Yu saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't move, his palm shook, and the steel nail hidden in the sleeve fell into the palm of his hand in an instant, and at the same time, he urged his superpower to disintegrate the steel nail into tiny particles that were difficult to see with the naked eye. This action is actually very difficult, although the chakra consumption is small and not drastic, but it requires a high degree of control. The control ability directly determines how fine the metal particles can be after decomposition.
In fact, this is Qianyu's real means of pressing the bottom of the box, and he is infinitely close to the assassination technique, and he will not use this trick until he really does it.
But now the problem was so serious that he had to use this trick.
From the moment he entered the small courtyard, although the furnishings and displays in the courtyard were ordinary, Chiba found no less than ten hidden ninjas through magnetic field sensing. Some hide underground, some hide in the beams of the roof, and some simply use transformation and stealth techniques to cover their figures.
That is to say, from the first step into the small courtyard, he has been surrounded by many people.
He wasn't sure that these people must be trying to harm him, but he had to be more cautious about guarding against others, especially now that he was going to enter a place like a secret passage. And most importantly, this must not be the Hokage summoning him, Chiba can be sure.
Because the Hokage is the shadow of a village, it can almost represent the spiritual pillar of this village, and even if there is something unsightly, it will definitely not be seen by himself. What can be seen by oneself must be the part of the upright. If it is above board, why do you need to enter the underground tunnel?
With so many contradictions and conflicts, it doesn't make sense at all if it was really the Hokage who summoned him.
So there is only one possibility, that is, someone is deceiving himself in the name of the Hokage. In that case, there is nothing more to say about that thousand feathers. He dismantled the steel nails and scattered the tiny particles directly into the air. It only took a moment before and after this action to complete, and in the eyes of others, Qian Yu was just slightly stunned after hearing the other party's words.
Then Qian Yu nodded and took the lead in the dark passage.
From the ground, the entrance to the dark passage is only the size of a floor, which can be said to be very small, but when you get to the bottom, Qian Yu finds that there is a hole in the sky below.
After coming down the tunnel, Qianyu's position is in the middle of a very wide tunnel, and it is dark to see the end when you look ahead, and the same is true when you look back.
The ninja with the dog-headed mask stood below, and after the fox mask came down, neither of them spoke, just nodded to each other, and then the fox mask walked in one direction, and the dog-headed mask motioned for Chiba to follow.
Qianyu is naturally as good as a stream, following the fox mask to an unknown place.
This underground tunnel, said to be a secret passage, is actually more like an underground palace. Oil lamps were lit on the walls on either side of the passage, but the lighting was dim, adding to the horror of the place. There were many more doors on both sides, all of which were closed, and I didn't know what was inside. Qian Yu followed behind the fox mask and kept walking forward, walking for hundreds of meters without reaching the end, which shows how big this underground palace is. And they didn't walk flat, Qian Yu could feel that they were going down more and more, and they had just entered the height of the ground before, and now, although Qian Yu couldn't calculate the specific value, there should still be more than ten meters underground.
Continuing forward, he walked a few hundred meters, and after about a few dozen meters underground, Qian Yu finally faintly saw a glimmer of light in the distance.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, he followed the fox mask out of the passage, and then, the scene in front of him really surprised him a little.
What appeared in front of him was a huge underground space. How big is it? Qianyu can't say it, it's very big anyway. On the opposite side is a wood-and-stone building, all white, with the frame painted red. At the foot of Qian Yu is a stone bridge of a doji, a red fence, gray masonry, and four fixed points of the cross, one pointing to the direction he came from, the other side pointing to the opposite building, and the other two are exactly the same dark passages behind him.
What a huge gesture, if there is such an underground building on the earth, Qian Yu can fully accept it, because the scientific and technological level of the earth is already very high, and all kinds of machinery are complete. And in the world of Naruto, the only people who can rely on it here are ninjas and ordinary people, and even if they are ninjas, it is definitely not easy to open up such a huge space.
Not only does it take a lot of people, but it also takes a lot of time.
Qian Yu was a little convinced, this must be a very important place for Konoha Village, if it weren't for the official behavior of Konoha Village, it would be impossible for an ordinary big family to make such a big move. It's just that even if this is the official thing, Qian Yu did not relax his vigilance, after all, even if it is official, there must be factions inside. He never believed that the Hokage could control all ninjas, and wasn't the Hokage also an ordinary ninja before he became the Hokage? Since he has stepped up step by step to become the Hokage, people who are of the same status as him at that time, or even higher than him, may not really be convinced by him.
This kind of bridge Qianyu has seen a lot, even the Huaxia who was born and grew up in the previous life, the greatest great man said that "there are no factions in the party", and the third generation is a very enlightened leader, so it is normal for Konoha Village to have people who have different thoughts from the Hokage.
The heart turned a thousand times, but on the surface, Qianyu was silent.
The fox-faced mask continued to walk, and he continued to follow.
The two crossed the stone bridge and stopped at the huge building, and then the fox face knelt on one knee, one hand on the knee, the other on the ground.
"My lord, Chiba Nakai has already brought it."
His voice echoed through the space, creating a lot of echoes, as if there were many people talking.
Then a very calm, and slightly hoarse voice sounded.
"You can step down."
The voice landed, and the fox-faced ninja vanished.
Chiba's attention was all in front of him, because at the very end of the stone bridge, behind the door of the huge building, a man turned out.
The man, who looked about the same age as the Hokage, was wearing a black kimono that completely encased his right arm, and his bare left arm, wearing a white undershirt, a cane in his hand, and a bandage on his head. The bandage tied his right eye, but his left eye was squinted outside, and there was an X-shaped scar on his chin, which was very conspicuous.
"I'm Danzo, Chiwa Nakai, welcome to my dark part, the root."
