Chapter 133: The Sharp Tooth That Extinguishes the Fire (2)
Konoha Torture Room.
The heavy punishment room shrouded in the pale moonlight, built on the river and the mountain cliff, is not a raging wind, as if it gathered into the screams of countless prisoners, making the already cold place even more calm.
Lu Jiu took a group of dark parts, and through the inspection of the guards here, he determined his identity, and was allowed to enter it.
In the huge building where the torture cells are located, stone and iron bars are built on both sides, and in each cell, there is electricity, but the place where the electricity is turned on is only a light bulb that emits bright yellow light. Due to the very small range of light, most of the interior of the building is still shrouded in darkness, which is extremely dark.
In each cell, a prisoner was held, as if to prevent a secret escape from prison.
Some of the prisoners had begun to snort and sleep, and some of the prisoners were holding the iron bars in their hands, looking out in a daze, their pupils were hollow and weak, dim, and they all had long, unkempt hair that had not been cut or washed. They were dressed in gray-blue prison uniforms, with their arms and calves exposed, and their skin was very rough, which was obviously the result of regular rough work.
If it weren't for the faint perception of their breathing, grabbing the iron bar, and looking at these prisoners outside, it would be like a frozen corpse, extremely strange.
Lu Jiu, who was used to seeing the scene, only frowned slightly, and then continued to move without saying a word.
And the dark part behind him is accustomed to following Lu Jiu's footsteps, turning a blind eye to the indifference, pleading, and pain in the eyes of these people.
The prisoners held here do not deserve sympathy.
These people are all criminal ninjas who have committed serious crimes or leaked important secrets of the village.
Not directly executing them was merciful enough. These people must be strictly managed and restrained with violence until they grow old and die here.
This is also the last mercy that Konoha can give to these people.
Beyond the outermost prison, Lu Jiu and the others advanced deeper into the torture room.
On the way, I also met the Konoha ninjas who were patrolling, who stayed awake all night, and took turns to patrol here, alerting the prisoners here to what small actions they used.
Escape from here.
Although the handcuffed people and Chakra were blocked, the ninjas on patrol still stuck to their posts and eliminated the last trace of happiness for these prisoners.
Soon, Shikaku led the dark department to the end of the outer and middle prisons.
The road is getting narrower and narrower, and there is only one light bulb on the ceiling, every ten meters, with a very small range of light.
The door of the cell was not an iron bar, but a thick and heavy iron door sealed, and on the iron door, there was only a small window that could reach out.
The ground was damp and cold, and the cold wind that swept into the trouser tube, even Lu Jiu was a little uncomfortable with the environment here.
Reaching the deepest cell, Shikaku and the shadows stopped.
In front of the iron door of the cell, ninjas dressed in costumes similar to those of the dark department stand on both sides of the iron door, like loyal guards, protecting the cell.
"I have some things that I want to discuss with Elder Tuanzang."
Shikaku stared at the root ninjas stationed on either side of the iron gate.
It's a bit hard to say, but that's exactly what it is. A person like Tuan Zang, even if he is confined to a heavy punishment room, is not an existence that can be easily seen.
And the caretakers in the heavy punishment room can only turn a blind eye and acquiesce to all this.
The two root ninjas, who are only superficial guards, and there are more root ninjas, hiding around, locking on every move of Shikaku and the dark ninjas.
If they have the slightest unusual behavior, they may be attacked by the Root Ninja's madness.
The general situation is to move the office from the root base to the heavy punishment room.
Lu Jiu smiled bitterly.
For the rest of the prisoners, the process will not be so complicated and tricky.
"Let him in."
An old voice came from the inside of the iron gate.
One of the root ninjas twisted his head, as if he was sure of something, and then turned his head again, gently leading Shikaku.
He twisted the doorknob of the iron door, gently pushed the iron door open, and made a gesture of inviting Shikaku to enter.
Shikaku immediately moved towards the iron gate, and the dark ninja behind him wanted to follow in, but was intercepted by the root ninja and was coldly watched by the root ninja.
"You can stay outside, I'll go in alone."
Lu Jiu shook his head at the dark part behind him, and motioned for himself to go in alone.
The dark ninjas had no choice but to retreat, looking at these arrogant root ninjas, their hearts were extremely humiliated.
Not only was it remotely controlled by the roots before, but even if Tuan Zang was imprisoned, the power of the roots was also superior to the dark side, and it had become the most uncontrollable force in Konoha.
Because behind the roots, there is the martial arts faction of the entire Konoha family.
Without the Hokage's dark part, it is indeed powerless to suppress the roots.
Now, the control of the dark department is temporarily managed by the two advisors and the head of the upper ninja squad.
Passing through the iron gate, Lu Jiu's figure was completely in the prison, and the iron door behind him shook lightly and closed tightly.
The moment the iron door was closed, the candles placed on the candlesticks around the walls of the cell, which had been pitch black, suddenly lit up, expelling the darkness in the cell.
At this time, Lu Jiuya discovered that in the cell, in addition to Tuanzang sitting on the seat in front of him, in the corner of the wall, there was an old man with gray hair, sitting there with the old man hanging down.
Judging by the faint breathing, the old man was still alive and tenaciously.
The room has not only chairs, beds, desks, tea tables, pens and lamps, but also everything.
In the depths of the room, there seems to be a faint secret door.
There is no doubt that this is a special cell, and it is likely that it was modified by Danzo himself.
Even the space of the cells should be cleaner and more spacious than the rest of the cells.
It's not here to suffer.
Although he slandered in his heart, Lu Jiu could only turn a blind eye to these things.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if Tuan Zang is down, it is not a terrible existence that he can bring down.
"Elder Tuanzang."
Shikaku walked up to Danzou and stopped.
"Are you here to visit the old man?"
Danzo raised his head and stared into Shikaku's eyes.
Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "No, I don't have such plans. I'm here to ask Elder Tuanzang for one thing. “
"Tsunade's whereabouts?"
Danzo seems to have seen through Shikaku's thoughts.
The deer was silent for a long time and acquiesced.
"Iron Country, Southern Forest."
Danzo said the name of this place.
Lu Jiu, who was still thinking about how to make Tuan Zang loosen his mouth, was stunned when he heard Tuan Zang tell the whereabouts of Tsunade so simply.
"How's the investigation going?"
Danzou continued to ask.
Lu Jiu hesitated for a moment and took something out of his pocket.
It's a videotape.
"This thing is the same as what was played in the open air not long ago, and it has been deliberately copied in many copies and scattered throughout the village."
Shikaku's subconscious meaning is that even if you want to recycle, it's impossible.
There are a lot of shinobi who want Tuan Zang to fall, and they will definitely use this kind of thing to fight Tuan Zang to the end, and they will not let go easily.
The crime of attacking the Hokage and manipulating the Hokage is not small.
This stain is placed in front of everyone, and it is difficult to repay the debt.
What's more, there are already some shrewd shinobi who are aware of the strange behavior of the three generations of Hokage himself, and they are suspicious of it.
And whether the three generations of Hokage himself are controlled by illusions, this kind of thing, using the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, probing the memory, and investigating a little will know.
What's more, Danzang's right eye also needs to be explained.
That kind of eye, no matter how you look at it, is very similar to the writing wheel eye.
The matter of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye is also clearly recorded in Konoha's intelligence.
These things simply do not stand up to investigation.
The only good thing is that Danzang chose to take refuge for the time being, if he insists on going his own way and forcibly suppresses the speech in the village, I am afraid that now the civil war in Konoha has broken out.
Thinking of such consequences, Lu Jiu couldn't help but be afraid.
"Really... It seems that the old man has completely lost this time..."
Danzang's tone was quite calm, so calm that Lu Jiu began to shudder in his heart.
Just as Lu Jiu was about to say something, a sneer suddenly came from the side.
"You like to play with intrigues, but now you are being plotted with conspiracies, which really fits the fate of you, the leader of the roots, Tuan Zang."
Talking is an old man who has been sitting in the room, with his head bowed and gray hair.
Even when he was taunting, he kept his head down and didn't show his face.
Lu Jiu glanced at the old man, frowning slightly.
Judging from the tone of the old man, the other party and Tuan Zang are familiar with each other, and they have a lot of troubles.
But in his memory, there was really no memory of the old man.
Who is he?
Why here?
Why did Tuan Zang choose to be imprisoned with him?
"However, this cell was built by your own hands, and now you are holding yourself... Huh, isn't that quite interesting? “
The face and eyes covered by gray hair have a faint blood-colored light shining in the hair, which makes people feel uneasy.
"Elder Tuanzang, he's..."
Lu Jiu couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a remnant of the old times, don't bother with him."
Tuan Zang didn't care about the old man's sarcastic tone, but there was already a hint of unhappiness on his face.
Lu Jiu was interested and did not lead the topic to this old man.
"So, if you can, can Elder Tuanzang repeat to me everything that has happened these days, as well as the plan that the roots have planned, word for word? I need to make sure of a few things so that Konoha can get through this time. “
Listening to Lu Jiu's request, Tuan Zang's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at Lu Jiu's determined face, and finally his lips opened lightly:
"As you wish...
The sound of the blade trembling caused Hiza's eyes to open from the dimly lit room again.
The light reflected by the blade in the darkness was so cold, like frozen ice, without the slightest warmth, and shone on the face of the sun slash roughly and directly.
Hizashi has no doubt that this is a knife that can sharpen iron like clay.
And because it is made of a special chakra alloy, therefore, after attaching the wind attribute chakra or thunder attribute chakra, it will make the sharpness of this knife to a higher level and reach the realm of indestructibility.
The human body will be easily torn apart by this blade.
Hinata looked at the blade, and he clearly understood that it wasn't the short knife that Kakashi often used.
The owner of this sword, Hizashi, also knows very well who it is, Kakashi's father, Ichiki Sakushige.
Konoha Shinobi, who died from rumors, so as not to die.
It was once a sharp knife of Konoha that bit enemies.
As if recalling those past events that had been passed down in the past, a trace of trance flashed in Richo's eyes.
It's just that as the Hokage's Hichi, I didn't expect that when this knife saw the light of day again, it was no longer Konoha's enemy that was biting, but him, the Hokage of Konoha.
Is this a heavenly punishment for yourself?
Or is it the salvation of oneself?
The nostalgia in the eyes of the sun slash gradually turned into complexity.
He slowly reached forward and finally grasped the hilt of the dagger as Kakashi watched, making a decision. With a thud, the blade was pulled out of the ground.
The white light reflected from the blade shone horizontally on Sunslash's eyes, causing his cloudy eyes to narrow slightly.
In an instant, the spirit and spirit on his body seemed to be absorbed by this knife, and the aura on his body was even more depressed and depressed.
"What will your choice be, Midaime? Yes or no? ”
Even though Hinasaki held the dagger in his hand and had a weapon that could be used for battle, Kakashi still took it in stride, as if he didn't care if Hizashi had a weapon or not.
Hearing Kakashi's words, Hikashi's gaze moved away from the blade and raised his head again, staring at Kakashi's eyes that had no mood swings.
Just as he was about to speak, a figure flickered in front of Hizashi, swaying with a candle flame between Hizashi and Kakashi.
Each hand held a chakra blade, and the expression on his face was serious and serious.
"Asma, how are you..."
Seeing the true face of the figure standing between him and Kakashi, Hizai's expression changed slightly.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-Dai—no, old man, as a son of man, I only have this matter, and I can't sit idly by."
Asma didn't look back, staring at Kakashi with a wary gaze.
"Asma, it's none of your business! Get me out of here! ”
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hizai shouted in a deep voice.
The tone revealed the meaning of asking Asma to get out of here quickly.
He didn't want to implicate this old grudge with his son.
He knew very well that Kakashi's strength was stronger, no, Kakashi's strength was stronger than he imagined, and he might even surpass him, the Hokage, and with Asma's strength, he would definitely not be able to compete with Kakashi.
Once the two fight, Asma's fate can be imagined.
He had already lost a son and did not want to lose another son.
Asma laughed, without fear of death in his eyes, and said, "It's a pity, old man, I'm different from my eldest brother, I've been a not very well-behaved child since I was a child. It's the same this time, please allow me to be a bad boy who is not well-behaved in the end. “
"What are you going to do?"
Under Hizai's horrified gaze, Asma slowly put down the chakra knife in his hand and threw it on the floor.
He took a slow, deep breath and looked directly into Kakashi's lake-like calm eyes, revealing a fearless smile, a smile that made people feel reassuring and calm.
"Kakashi, let me take the revenge of your twenty years of forbearance. Because I die, this old man will surely die because he has lost all his sons. How, is this kind of revenge more satisfying for you? Don't you want to see him look so miserable that life is worse than death? ”
This kind of revenge can indeed make Richo feel boundless pain even more.
However, Kakashi's heart did not fluctuate.
"It's none of your business, Asma, get out of the way."
Just as Hizashi didn't want to involve his son in this grudge, Kakashi also didn't want to implicate this grudge with Asma, an unrelated person.
"No, it has something to do with me, although he has done a lot of foolish things, but he is also my father after all. I can't watch him die. I think you would have made the same choice. ”
Asma said as she stared at Kakashi.
Before Kakashi could speak, Hizari's voice came from behind Asma:
"Enough! Asma, as the third Hokage of Konoha, has not yet fallen to the point of using the sacrifice of her own children to fulfill herself. Since this matter started because of me, it is up to me, the Hokage, to decide it myself. ”
Hizai made up his mind in an instant, and grasped the handle of the short knife in his hand with both hands, aiming the tip of the knife at his heart.
"Wait one"
Asma's face changed drastically, and she turned around and rushed towards Hizap, trying to stop Hizag from committing suicide.
However, before he could take a step forward, a strong chakra suddenly erupted from Ri Slash's body, and the chakra, which had already condensed into substance, was like an erupting torrent, constantly squeezing Asma's body.
"Damn—"
Asma roared in anger.
He watched his father raise the short knife in his hand, and smiled at him as if he was saying goodbye, probably because of the long-lost happiness because of the maintenance of the child.
"Old man, stop me, you're the Hokage of Konoha, don't mess around"
Asma continued to roar, the green tendons at his temples began to bulge, and he also erupted with the chakra in his body, colliding with the chakra of the sun slash.
However, the quality and quantity of the two chakras are not on the same level.
In any case, Hizai is also a recognized doctor of ninjutsu in the ninja world.
In Konoha, in addition to the so-called blood inheritance limit, even the secret techniques of various races can be easily pinched up by the five shadow level ninjas.
Even if it is a pure chakra outbreak, it is by no means a ninja like Asxinma, which can be compared.
However, in Asma's opinion, there is no doubt that Sunsaki's desperate attempt to break out Chakra and stop him from moving forward is undoubtedly an awareness of death.
Kakashi watched this scene expressionlessly, looking at Asmana's incompetence like a clown, trying his best to prevent his father from committing suicide, but in the end he couldn't do anything, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
But even so, Kakashi didn't step forward, just watched silently.
He didn't know what kind of feelings he should have at such a time.
But Kakashi knew one thing, and that was that he didn't have a reason to stop it, and he couldn't stop it.
Eventually, the roar of the air generated by the eruption of the chakra came to an abrupt halt at the sound of a blade piercing into the flesh.
Asma staggered forward two steps unconsciously because of the pressure in front of her.
The short knife stabbed into the chest of the still smiling Hichisa, and with precision, no mistake, through the heart.
"Old man..."
Asma felt the world collapse with a bang, and all the sounds and scenes turned lifeless gray and white.
So pale and fragile.
Unbelievable.
With a smile on his face, he seemed to have lost the strength to support him, and his body fell to the side.
Asma flickered, as if instinctively predicting the location where Hizai was about to fall, and appeared there, hugging the body that was constantly losing temperature, and letting him lie in his arms.
"Old man..."
“… Pander to... As... Ma..."
Hizari's eyes gradually closed, and he seemed to be in a dark and boundless cold world.
With trembling palms, he groped for this dark world of the last know.
"I'm in... Here I am, old man..."
Asma choked the wetness in her eyes as she grabbed Hizag's warm, thin, wrinkled palm covered in goosebumps.
"Take care of the village and everyone... Don't hate..."
With Asma's help, Hizap's thin palm finally touched Asma's face.
Asma's tears flowed imperceptibly and landed on Hizaw's face.
Hichisa's cheeks were cold and stiff, and he had lost the mental touch of his youth.
So, Asma hugged Hizari's body, using more force, as if she wanted to use this insignificant warmth to expect a miracle to happen.
However, the miracle did not happen.
The speed at which the sun slash was pierced through the heart by a short knife and the loss of vitality made even Konoha's top medical ninja feel helpless.
”… Don't hate..."
Such a faint voice, which was not quiet and could not be heard at all, but it was very clear that it once again broke into Asma's ears, whose eyes were in tears due to grief.
Weak breathing.
Hizai is looking forward to his son in his heart, and after losing his father, he can't always wander in the dark abyss of revenge.
A ninja who went to the extreme of revenge and finally self-destructed, such a ninja, Hizai has seen countless times in his long life.
He didn't want his son to embark on this road of no return.
Therefore, until he died, there was a smile on his face.
It seems that dying in such a posture is not worthy of his identity as Hokage.
Even in the face of death, you must behave calmly and not let anyone look down on you.
"From now on, you are the third Hokage of Konoha!"
In his mind, Hizai couldn't help but recall this sentence.
The teacher's voice between thousands of hands, even if it spans endless time and space, is still so sonorous and powerful.
It's a pity that until the end, he failed to fulfill the duties of a Hokage, and if he could use his own death in exchange for Kakashi not to make a move on Konoha again, then it would be a trivial thing that he, the Hokage, could do for the village in the end.
All grievances begin with him and end with him
"Old..."
Before Asma could finish speaking, Hizap's thin palm slipped from his face, falling limply.
Asma stared at what was happening, probably because the scene in front of him had exceeded his predictions of reality, so much so that his brain could not accept the cruelty of reality.
Therefore, he suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was about to exhaust all the strength of his body, and even if salty tears flowed into his mouth, he could not stop it.
"Uh-huh, ahh
The pain was almost like a crying voice, completely liberated from Asma's mouth.
Kakashi watched as it all happened with a blank expression, neither cheering nor ashamed, just as calm and serene as he looked at an empty dead thing.
In Asma's loud roar, Kakashi turned and stood outside.
A candle on a candlestick, burning to the end of its life.
Extinguish.
The endless darkness eroded the world, drawing Kakashi's figure into it.
"It's empty..."
Perhaps, this is the life of an Avenger.
Kakashi understood this very well.
However, this is not the end of the day.
In the darkness, Kakashi seemed to have reached the end of his rope and pushed the door open.
The moonlight outside was gentle and beautiful, spilling on the face.
Although it was only a little light, Kakashi knew that sooner or later this empty night would come to an end.
Only by surviving this long dark night can we see the more brilliant and beautiful scenery in the early morning.
