Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shadows
The shadows are not underground, not even at the edge of the village, they are in the village, and they are not deliberately hidden.
Aoi moved forward with the shadow of this code name Hawk, it seems that he proposed to fight with the Hokage before, which angered this shadow, or it may be a simple test, the speed of the shadow move forward is fast, but unfortunately no matter how much he accelerates, he didn't throw Aoi away. Soon came to a special area.
This area belongs to the dark part and appears to be a little empty. Looking at the 3-storey building in front of you, there is a big "dark" word at the top of the building, which has no meaning to hide it, and there is no one to guard it.
Seeing the confusion in Aoi's eyes, Eagle said with some disdain,
"Don't be surprised that there is no one to guard, don't worry about anyone running to the shadows to find trouble, isn't it self-defeating."
If you think about it carefully, the dark department is the elite concentration of the village, and it is indeed looking for death to come here to make trouble.
The eagle took the lead and walked towards the dark door, and after a few clicks on the door, the door opened automatically.
Aoi said secretly in her heart, I guess it's a code. It seems that even if it is unguarded, it is not so easy to enter.
Follow the eagle's footsteps inside, and the gate leads to a corridor without a single light. Even if it is daytime, you can only see the endless darkness ahead, and the corridor seems incomparably long in the darkness, as if it is the road to hell. The walls and floors on both sides are made of wood, and the sound of human footsteps is infinitely amplified in this corridor, making the whole environment even more eerie.
Aoi was not frightened by the gloomy environment, but was a little puzzled. Is the dark part really going to be so dark, like a ghost movie scene?
Eagle doesn't speak, and Aoi doesn't ask. Only the footsteps of two people echoed in the entire corridor, and it seemed a little dead silent. After walking in this corridor for a long time, my eyes gradually adjusted to the dark environment, and finally there was a fork in the road ahead.
Then the eagle spoke,
"On the left is the equipment department, where you can get the equipment you need. On the right is the locker room, and beyond that is the underground training ground in the dark. You go get your gear first, and then you come back and report. ”
"Okay."
Aoi answered and walked down the corridor to the left.
At the end of the corridor is the armament department. A simple counter, through the iron window, Aoi shouted,
"Big Barrel Aoi, come and get your equipment."
Soon a shadow with a dog-faced mask appeared, carrying a wooden tray with a dark armor, a short knife, and a white fox mask.
"It's your gear."
The dark part placed the tray on the counter and pushed it out through the gap under the iron window.
Saying thank you, Aoi took the equipment and took a closer look, it was definitely customized according to his height and size.
He should be the smallest member of the dark part. There shouldn't be any equipment that fits, how did you think that you would take it so soon, it seems that Ape Fei Ri has already thought about how to arrange himself in the past few days.
I didn't care so much, so I took the equipment and walked towards the locker room.
Walking along the corridor, the changing room is also signposted, and it is not difficult to find it.
Twisting the door open, Aoi enters with the tray in both hands. The changing room is a rectangular room with a long table in the middle, wooden cabinets on either side of the wall, and about six on one side.
There are many fewer female members of the dark department than men, and there are not many people in the changing room, just two of them, and they have already changed their outfits.
"Hello two seniors, I'm a new preparatory member of the dark department, Otsuki Aoi, please take care of me."
Seeing such a young age, the two people were a little surprised, and one of them couldn't help but ask,
"Is the Dark Department recruiting such a small member?"
"Leave it alone."
Another female undercover spoke to stop her companion and turned her head to Aoi,
"You can use the second-to-last cabinet, which no one uses."
"Okay."
Aoi took her equipment to the penultimate cabinet, changed her clothes, tied a ponytail at random, changed into a dark outfit, and turned her head to the two of them.
"Two seniors, I'll go to the training ground to gather first."
With a short knife on his back, he carefully put the wooden scroll in the forbearance bag, and the wooden scroll that he finally obtained, he was reluctant to leave even for a while. Putting on her mask, Aoi set off towards the underground training ground.
Underground training ground in the shadows.
The underground training ground is very large, and I saw a bunch of dark members training. There are those who practice ninjutsu, there are those who practice swordsmanship, and there are people in pairs, fighting each other with fists and feet.
When Aoi entered the area, some of the shadows even stopped and whispered. Even if Aoi wears a mask, it can be seen that Aoi is too young.
Aoi was already immune to this kind of gaze, so she found a clearing and sat down cross-legged, ready to look at the Mu Dun Scroll.
Before he could open the scroll, the eagle appeared, facing Aoi,
"Let's go, go to the No. 6 training ground, you're not a full member now, it's not appropriate to train here now."
Aoi answered, got up and followed the eagle out.
When I arrived at the No. 6 training ground, there were already some members of the dark department waiting there. Some sit on boulders, others lean against trees. But without exception, they were a little unoptimistic about Aoi's age, and asked the eagle,
"Hey, Captain, is this the new guy on our squad?"
"It's really okay to be so young?"
"......Shh
Aoi didn't expect that Eagle turned out to be the captain of the dark team, and thought he was just an ordinary member of the dark department.
Eagle is also a little optimistic about Aoi's age, but he knows that Aoi is a wooden ninja, and this alone is worthy of the village's vigorous training. pretended to scold the shadows who were questioning,
"Otsuki Aoi is the dark department personally recommended by Hokage-sama, and according to the adult, she already has the strength of the upper ninja, are you questioning the decision of the higher-ups?"
Eagle's words did not dispel the suspicions of the members of the dark department, but surprised them even more,
"What? Upper ninja strength? ”
"How is that possible!"
"Ninja strength at this age? Fake it! ”
Aoi doesn't have her own code name yet, and Eagle just says her name.
It seems that the captain of the Eagle in this dark part is not optimistic about his age, otherwise who would introduce a newcomer like this, but he can't find fault with the words. Aoi said secretly in her heart.
Seeing that the team members questioned the big barrel of wooden Aoi, the eagle didn't care, and turned to Aoi.
"Today is to take you to get to know you, your training will be here in the future, you have to adapt to the work and rest of the dark department as soon as possible."
"Yes, Captain!"
"Well, give yourself a code name. The shadows don't call names, but code names, like mine is 'Eagle'. Also, talk about what you're good at, not to mention the specific techniques, and it will be easier to cooperate in the future. ”
Aoi thought for a moment and said,
"My code name is 'Mu', I'm a ninjutsu-type ninja who is good at wind, water, fire, earth, and thunder. Physical illusion is more general than ninjutsu, but this aspect will not hold back your predecessors. ”
After listening to Aoi's self-introduction, the doubts of the members of the dark department became even greater, seeing that the little ghost in front of him was not even 10 years old, he dared to say that he was good at all chakra nature changes, and he was not ashamed!
One of them, tall and wearing a cat-faced mask, walked through the queue and mocked,
"Little ghost, do you know what the standard for being good at these two words is in the shadows? Don't just release a few simple retreats and say you're good at it, if that's the case, then we're good at all ninjutsu too! ”
The tall man's words resonated with the team,
"yes, I'm good at all kinds of nature changes too!"
"Haha, I don't know what standard she is based on......"
"Not everyone can come to the shadows!"
The eagle did not say anything about the ridicule of the players.
Aoi stepped forward, and it seems that it's time to pretend to be V again......
