Factory.

The roar of the machinery never stopped, and even in the sewer at the bottom of the factory, you could hear the sound of machinery coming from above through the thick wall panels.

A large number of figures in purple coats quickly rushed through the wide sewer space, with a clear goal of converging to a certain location and starting to move forward.

As we got closer to the target location, the roar of machinery in my ears seemed to be a little distant, and it was no longer so clear.

In the space of the sewer, only the dim light is shining, placed in the corner of the wall, and the rusty pipe has water droplets, which slowly drip downward, and the sound of water droplets is not obvious.

Just as the group of people was rushing forward, suddenly the fire in front of them flashed, and the flames that filled the entire sewer quickly rushed towards them.

The hot air made their throats feel dry, as if they had poured boiling water into their mouths, and the skin on their faces became extremely hot.

"Water Escape, Water Waves!"

The surging water spewed out of the mouth of the ninja who took the lead, and the chakra in his body was also rapidly consumed.

Being able to use simple C-rank ninjutsu to such an extent that he can block all the flames that fill the sewers, and his face is still at ease, also proves that this is not an ordinary ninja.

After the water and fire came into contact, white steam quickly filled the space, and everyone was in it, and the figures of their companions around them became blurred.

"Be careful!"

As if sensing something rapidly approaching, one shouted loudly.

However, after he said this, a pitch-black figure appeared in the steam, and then disappeared in a flash, and the sound of his body falling to the ground was heard.

Immediately after, the sound of kunai and kunai clashing came from the thick steam, which was crisp and crisp in the ears.

The lead ninja began to fight with the people.

He sharpened his grip on their attackers, his eyes were murderous, and his face was as cold as a piece of ice that would not melt.

"Thunder ......"

As he prepared to unleash his ninjutsu, a scarlet gaze pierced through the front, and a pitch-black barrel was aimed directly at his eyebrows, pulling the trigger.

Bang!

Bullets carrying electric light grazed the edge of his cheek, rushing blood.

The leading ninja rolled out and retreated to safety, looking in horror into the steam ahead, looking for the location of the illusory figure.

"Are you looking for me?"

The voice came from behind, and the leading ninja's face suddenly changed drastically, and he turned back.

However, a step too late.

With a snort, Kunai slammed into his chest, covered with thunder and lightning that paralyzed human nerves, and immediately covered his whole body, leaving him in the midst of a dense electric current, and his body fell to his knees in disobedience.

In front of him appeared a black, long-haired girl of only fifteen or sixteen years old, with scarlet three-hooked jade writing wheels rolling in her eyes, one hand empty, and the other hand holding a short flintlock pistol with a smoking muzzle, the muzzle of which was pointed at his forehead.

The man gritted his teeth, and his face just showed an unyielding expression, and he didn't say a word, as if he accepted his fate.

The ninjas who were following him around him were already standing in place, their eyes were either demented or frightened, obviously caught in some kind of powerful illusion, and they did not break free.

"Miss."

The ninjas of the country of ghosts who protect the factory came late after the battle, and stood beside the girl with some embarrassment, and they wanted to come to support, only to find out when they arrived that the stowaways who invaded the factory had already been subdued by the girl alone.

"You're just in time, and these guys will be handed over to you for interrogation."

Kazuhime ignored the embarrassment of these subordinate ninjas, for her, this was just a small warm-up, far from being a battle.

"Yes."

A ghost country shinobi nodded.

Since there is no business for them in the battle, then the interrogation must be done well.

There happened to be a few ninjas on their side who were good at interrogation, and they didn't believe that they couldn't pry anything useful out of the mouths of these guys.

The ghost country shinobi took a step forward and looked at the leading male ninja, the other party had been paralyzed by Ichihime's thunder escape, not to mention the body, even the chakra in the body had already disobeyed the call, kneeling there motionless.

However, the purple coat worn by the male ninja was also embroidered with a purple waning moon mark on the back, which reminded the ninja of the Oni Country, and he was surprised: "These guys are from the Purple Moon Clan?" ”

"The Purple Moon Crowd?"

Yiji raised his eyebrows.

Oni no Kuni Kamishinobu explained, "Yes, Miss. The Purple Moon is a large group of bounty hunters that once roamed the western part of the continent, and is very famous in the underground black market, and it is said that at its peak, the number of this group was as high as more than 100 people, and many wandering ninjas and samurai gathered. Speaking of which, a few years ago, when the military was sweeping the underground black market strongholds in the western part of the continent, it clashed with many bounty hunter groups led by the Purple Moon Clan. ”

And the results are clear.

The country of ghosts stands tall in the western part of the continent, and there is a faint view of suppressing the two major kingdoms of terroir, while the Purple Moon Crowd is just a bounty hunter army in the underground black market, and the two are not on the same order of magnitude at all.

The result, of course, was a complete victory for the military of the Oni Country, and the team of bounty hunters who were active in the western part of the main road, led by the Purple Moon Clan, was subjected to an unprecedented bloody suppression.

Either they were arrested by the military for labor reform, or they were expelled from the sphere of influence of the Oni no Kuni.

That battle also directly caused the Purple Moon Crowd, a team of bounty hunters who had once dominated the underground black market, to drop from the first-rate to the third-rate level.

It can be said that the Purple Moon Crowd and the Ghost Country have old hatreds.

If it is to take revenge on the country of ghosts, it is not impossible to attack the military factory established by the country of ghosts in the country of waves.

"Is that so? If it's revenge, it makes sense. But I don't think a group of third-rate bounty hunters that has declined can recruit expert ninjas at the level of upper ninja. ”

Kazuhime's gaze swept over the male ninja's unyielding face for a moment, and he said what he thought.

Although this male ninja was defeated in his own hands, the existence of the upper ninja does not mean that the strength is not strong.

More than 90% of ninjas can only linger in the middle and lower ninja stages, and those who can become upper ninja are all elites in a hundred.

And since the Purple Moon People were disabled by the Ghost Country military a few years ago, and now it is too late to lick their wounds, after clearly understanding the gap with the Ghost Country, she doesn't think that this group of guys will come over to provoke the Ghost Country at will.

And the one who took the lead was a ninja who was not weak, and this was not an existence that the declining Purple Moon Crowd could recruit, so no matter how you look at this situation, it is very problematic.

Oni no Kuni Shinobu nodded, and he understood Kazuhime's concerns.

The Purple Moon Crowd has long since declined, and these people who attacked the Ghost Country's military factory are not necessarily the bounty hunters of the Purple Moon Clan, or they may be pretending to be the Purple Moon Crowd who have had a holiday with the Ghost Country, and use them to cover people's eyes.

"Then I'll leave it to you, it seems that it's not just the shadows and roots of Konoha that are eyeing the arms design drawings in this factory, maybe the ninjas of other big countries will also get involved. It's funny. ”

Yiji smiled lightly, turned around and left without dragging his feet.

"Kakashi-sensei, I've mastered this tree climbing you talked about! Well, I'm amazing! ”

Naruto, who was covered in dirt, also had a lot of dust on his face, but his feet hung upside down from the branches with an excited face, and they didn't fall off the branches.

It was clear that after a few days of perseverance, he had mastered the knack of climbing trees with his feet.

It's showing off to Kakashi at the moment.

"Uh-huh, great, great, great."

Kakashi nodded, as if he really thought Naruto's behavior was powerful.

In fact, it took a few days to learn the skill of climbing a tree, and Kakashi really didn't know what to say.

You know, Sakura only tried three times, and she completely mastered the trick of climbing trees, which lasted no more than five minutes in total.

He didn't know what Naruto's psychology was out of showing off his 'talent' here.

In terms of chakra control, Kakashi thinks that Naruto really has no talent.

In this way, every time you use ninjutsu, you will definitely waste a lot of chakra.

However, this distress of wasting a lot of chakra is indeed a problem for ordinary ninjas. But for Naruto, it wasn't a so-called problem at all.

Kakashi thinks that Naruto's chakra at the moment is not at the same level as him, and he may even win slightly.

Even if he inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, the chakra that Naruto had in his body was too abnormal.

It's not like the amount of chakra that Shinobi can hold at all.

In the future, Naruto may be able to compete with the four generations of Thunder Shadow in Cloud Hidden Village, with a chakra of tailed beast weight.

In Kakashi's view, this possibility is very large.

Not to mention, Naruto also has one of the most terrifying tailed beasts hidden in his body - the Nine-Tails.

The potential is immeasurable.

"Kakashi-sensei, what training are we going to do next?"

Naruto jumped down from the tree and came to Kakashi and asked.

Sakura, like Naruto, looked at Kakashi.

"Hmmm......"

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, who had originally wanted to teach Naruto the training of treading water continuously.

However, even climbing trees is only barely mastered by Naruto, and mastering the skill of treading water is probably not so easy to learn.

Unlike solid objects such as trees, walking on water is more difficult than climbing trees.

The requirements for chakra control are also more stringent.

With Naruto's state, it is estimated that it is a bit unrealistic to learn the skill of treading water in a short period of time, and it will also disrupt his training plan.

"Let's move on to the mission, I've picked a few D-class missions that are suitable for you, so that your tree-climbing ability can be better used in actual combat."

Kakashi said.

"What the hell is that mission?"

"Help the farmer collect the fruit from the tree, and ...... Catching wild monkeys in the nearby forests can effectively exercise your tree-climbing ability and apply them more quickly to practice. ”

Kakashi said.

"I see, don't worry, leave it to us, it will be done soon. But speaking of which, what about Sasuke's guy? Why don't you see others? ”

Naruto looked left and right, but didn't find Sasuke's figure, and asked a little strangely.

"He's got something to do in the morning, and he'll come over in the afternoon. At this time, I should have looked up some information from the Ministry of Intelligence. ”

Kakashi replied ambiguously, looking into the distance.

◎

Konoha Intelligence Department.

It belongs to an important department that is directly responsible to the Hokage.

The importance of this department is no less than that of the dark department to a certain extent, but unlike the department that conducts covert operations in the dark department, the role of the intelligence department is to sort out and analyze the information brought back by the dark department, and interpret it effectively, so as to analyze the various secrets of the ninja.

This is an indispensable part of a ninja village.

Located in the area of the Ministry of Intelligence, there is a specially built library with a wide variety of materials that can be consulted to facilitate the interpretation of various information by the personnel of the Ministry of Intelligence.

Therefore, the people in the intelligence department are ninjas with excellent knowledge, memory, and reasoning skills.

Entering the library of the Ministry of Intelligence, Sasuke felt that the atmosphere here was obviously different from the outside.

A strong scent of books rushed into the nasal cavity, making people subconsciously hold their breath quietly, not daring to make too much noise and disturb this peaceful pure land of knowledge.

Generally speaking, the library of the Ministry of Intelligence is not open to the public, because many of the materials here are too important, and most of the people who come here are middle or upper ninja who carry tasks.

Sasuke was able to get the pass here thanks to the pass documents that Kakashi gave him, and as the head of the dark department, Kakashi still has this power.

"You're Sasuke Uchiha, Mr. Kakashi recommended you here, what kind of information do you want to check here?"

The librarian of the Ministry of Information is a young woman of about twenty-two years old, wearing a pair of light red thick-rimmed glasses, and her long black hair is tied into a braid, giving people a sense of intellectual beauty.

She swept her gaze to Sasuke and asked him with a soft smile.

"Hello."

Sasuke nodded politely, glanced at the administrator, and then said, "I want to check out the information about Naruto Uzumaki's parents. ”

"Naruto Uzumaki's parents?"

Miss Administrator looked strange about the information Sasuke wanted to consult, but then said, "I'm sorry, but the information you want to access is not on the side of the Ministry of Intelligence." ”

"No?"

Sasuke was slightly surprised.

This is Konoha's intelligence center, not to mention the ninjas in the outer villages, the information of the ninjas in their own village, it is impossible not to include it.

However, he gave an explanation that it was not placed in the Ministry of Intelligence, which surprised Sasuke.

"What's going on?"

Instead of answering immediately, Miss Administrator began tapping on the keyboard in front of her, the dense text on the screen quickly skimming over her reflective lenses before finally freezing into a single frame.

She smiled helplessly: "I checked, the information about Naruto Uzumaki's parents has been transferred to the dark department twelve years ago, that is to say, if you want to consult these materials, you can only go to the library of the dark department to find them." ”

Dark Library.

That's Konoha's most core database.

Compared to the library of the Ministry of Intelligence, the information and materials recorded there are all top secret without exception and cannot be made public.

Transferred to the Dark Twelve Years Ago...... Sasuke's brows furrowed even tighter, didn't he say that when Naruto was born, his parents' information was transferred from the Ministry of Intelligence, and it was directly handled by the Ministry of Darkness, not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Intelligence.

This made Sasuke even more curious about who Naruto's parents were.

If it is an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible for it to be directly accepted by the dark department.

The reason why the Shadows did this must have been ordered by the Hokage himself.

At the same time, it also conveys a message that Naruto's parents, the identity of Konoha is not simple.

And, speaking of the surname Uzumaki...... If Sasuke remembers correctly, it should be the maternal family name of the wife of the first Hokage of Konoha.

Naruto's last name is also Uzumaki, and it's definitely no accident.

The first Hokage is a big man who established Konoha Village with Madara Uchiha, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and can become the wife of the first Hokage, so the meaning of the surname Uzumaki must not be simple.

"Then I'll look for all the ninjas in the village with the surname Uzumaki in the past twenty years."

"Okay, I'll find out."

Miss Administrator smiled and began to use her computer to find the information Sasuke wanted.

Then, her smile stiffened, she looked at Sasuke, and said with an embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, but there have been no ninjas with the surname Uzumaki in the village in the past twenty years, and even among ordinary people, there is no one with the surname Uzumaki. ”

“……”

Sasuke looked at Miss Administrator strangely.

His meaning was very clear, there were no ninjas and ordinary people with the surname Uzumaki in the village in the past twenty years, so could Naruto jump out of the stone?

"Is this really a library under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Intelligence?"

"Yes, if it's fake."

Seeing Sasuke's questioning eyes, Miss Administrator almost couldn't maintain the professional smile on her face, and finally barely maintained a gentle smile and said to Sasuke.

"Excuse me, do you need anything else to look for?"

"I want to check the information of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, the information of all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan since the establishment of Konoha."

Sasuke said.

Miss Administrator typed quickly, and then breathed a sigh of relief that there was no more mistakes.

She had some doubts that Sasuke had come to her on purpose.

She smiled: "What you are looking for is on the No. 11 bookshelf on the second floor, and the thickest one is." ”

Sasuke nodded, ignoring the ineffective lady librarian, and went straight to the second floor, where he came to the eleventh bookshelf, and quickly found his goal.

It was a very heavy book, with all blacked-out covers, except for a white label attached to it, with the Uchiha clan's fan logo drawn.

Sasuke sat down in a secluded corner, opened the book, and began to look for what he was looking for.

Itachi once said that even himself, there are currently three Uchiha ninjas who have opened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye, and all of them are not dead.

The other two wielders of the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye are likely to be the accomplices of the Weasel Clan.

This is something that Sasuke wants to find out no matter what.

It's just that his generation is too young, and he doesn't know a lot about the Uchiha clan. Itachi's accomplices are likely to be members of the Uchiha clan in the past.

Therefore, starting from the time when Konoha was established, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan started to look for it, so as to ensure that no one was missed.

Turning the first page, it is not surprising that it is the ancestor of Uchiha named 'Madara Uchiha'.

The result is marked as dead.

The next few pages record the name of a famous Uchiha ninja, none of whom Sasuke knows or has ever heard of, they are the older generation of Uchiha ninja who have existed since the time of the establishment of Konoha and have either died in the First Ninja World War, or in the Second Ninja World War, and occasionally a few people died in the Third Ninja World War.

Not a single one survived.

Later, Sasuke turned faster and faster, about half of the pages passed, Sasuke's hand suddenly stopped, and his body was stunned.

Ruri Uchiha, born in Konoha 24, ninja number 006745.

A member of the White Fang Squad, he made meritorious contributions to the Second Ninja World War, killed many Sand Hidden Shinobi, pinned down the main force of Sand Hidden Village in blitzkrieg mode several times, and ended the Second Ninja World War One of the heroes of Konoha was awarded a special merit commendation after the war.

In the 40th year of Konoha, he broke away from the White Fang Squad, and in the same year, he was promoted to Shinobi and returned to serve in the Uchiha Garrison, one of the candidates for the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.

The data in front was still very normal, until the 43rd year of Konoha was torn off, and the data was gone.

What's going on?

Why is all the information behind it gone?

Sasuke was confused.

Although the record is very gorgeous, it is not without rivals among the Uchiha clan, which has many outstanding people.

No matter how you look at it, you don't need a place to hide.

And the White Fang squad...... Sasuke remembered correctly, it seemed to be a team that Kakashi's father once led that was good at blitzkrieg, and Kakashi's father was the leader of this team.

Sasuke thought for a long time without success, and continued to turn the next page.

The brow furrowed even deeper.

Because of the many Uchiha ninjas in the back, it is normal that all the data in front of them is recorded, until the beginning of Konoha 43, their data have been deliberately cut and important parts are missing.

Whether these people live or die is also not conclusive.

After that, Sasuke continued to flip through it.

Uchiha Obito, missing.

……

Uchiha Inahu, a follower of his father, Uchiha Fugaku, is dead.

Uchiha Yashiro, one of his father's Uchiha Fugaku's followers, is deceased.

The Uchiha stopped the water and committed suicide.

Uchiha Iron Fire, dead.

……

Itachi Uchiha, defected.

"Hoo ......"

It took me an hour to read the whole book.

Sasuke let out a long breath, his eyes bewildered.

Well, things are unexpectedly weird.

Not to mention the Uchiha Obito who disappeared during the war, the Uchiha Ruri and other clansmen who had no information records since Konoha 43 years ago didn't even have a clear belief in whether they were alive or dead.

Was it any of these people who were the accomplices of the day of the Weasel Extermination?

If none of these people died, then why had he never seen these people in Konoha himself?

If all these people were sacrificed, why should the following information be cut out?

The defection should be exterminated by Konoha troops.

If it's the same as Uchiha Obito, it's a missing clan, why is there no conclusion about the disappearance?

Not only Naruto's identity, but even the Uchiha clan itself is full of fog and makes it difficult to see.

In the 43rd year of Konoha, that year was the year when the Third Ninja World War officially began, and at that time, what happened to the Uchiha?

Why was it that some of the people's information and actions after that year were all cut out?

Sasuke felt like his mind was in turmoil.
