Ninja World

Chapter 39 The Underground World

Uchiha Tatsu's footsteps walked through the forest, and the overgrown land made a rustling sound under his feet.

It disturbed the indigenous people living here.

A rabbit with gray fur suddenly jumped out, turned its head and glanced at Uchiha Tatsumi, then quickly jumped into the grass and disappeared.

The further we go, the weirder atmosphere in the forest becomes richer.

It seems like a pair of invisible eyes are watching.

Uchiha Chen pursed his lips, then stretched out his hand and took out a kunai from the ninja bag tied at his waist, and held it in his hand.

The leaves above the head are getting denser and denser, and the branches of the trees are getting taller and thicker. It is obvious that they have traveled deep into the woods.

"Go eastward ten miles from Konoha Village."

Uchiha Tatsumi murmured softly, raised his head and looked at the sky, but could only see the dark leaves and the tiny rays of sunlight shining through the gaps.

"Well, I don't know where I've gone."

A spider that was significantly larger than what Uchiha Tatsu had seen on a daily basis was lying on a tree trunk not far away, silently spinning white silk threads and making subtle sounds from its mouth.

It made Uchiha Chen shudder a little.

He really doesn't like insects or anything like that.

However, the moment he raised his head again, Uchiha Tatsu was startled.

He quickly raised the kunai in his hand and held it in front of him.

It turned out that there was a man wearing a large black cloak standing on the tree trunk in front of him.

The hood behind his back was buttoned, and he wore a terrifying painted face mask on his cheek.

He was staring at him coldly.

"Are you Uchiha Tatsumi?"

The man standing on the tree trunk said in a cold voice. No emotion could be heard, he was just stating calmly.

Uchiha Chen squeezed the kunai in his hand, calmed his mind, looked up and down at the person on the tree trunk, and found that the person was not wearing Konoha's forehead protector.

"I am Uchiha Tatsumi."

"and who are you?"

The young man asked in a deep voice.

I also felt vigilant in my heart.

Although the other party did not take action directly, the dangerous aura on his body still made Uchiha Chen extremely afraid, which was very similar to the strong aura on Orochimaru's body.

It's called murderous intent.

The person in front of me must have killed many people.

But fortunately, he hasn't shown any hostility towards him yet.

Was it someone arranged by Orochimaru?

I heard Uchiha Tatsumi admit.

The man standing on the tree trunk said nothing, but turned around silently.

The eyes under the mask narrowed slightly, and it seemed that Uchiha Tatsuo's calmness surprised him.

How could such a young child have such courage...

But it was just an accident.

Then he spoke in a cold voice.

"Come with me."

After saying that, he jumped up to another tree trunk with a swoosh, spotted one and went deep into the woods.

Hearing that the other party asked him to follow him, Uchiha Chen was slightly startled, but then he gritted his teeth and followed.

"Is this what Orochimaru said he would find himself?"

Activate the chakra in your body, and then speed up your pace.

"It seems to be really accurate."

Wow!

Leaves tumble.

Uchiha Tatsumi closely chased the footsteps of the person in front of him, much faster than when he came. The strong wind roared in his ears, and the chaotic branches and leaves scratched the young man's cheeks.

The chakra under his feet was absorbed and instantly stuck to the tree trunk, stabilizing his body, and then he used his strength to jump to another tree trunk again.

Repeat this way.

Uchiha Tatsumi has practiced these basic chakra manipulations, climbing trees, and treading water, which are the foundations of a ninja.

It is not difficult for Uchiha Tatsumi who is proficient in using ninjutsu.

Uchiha Tatsuya did not fall behind.

The person in front of him turned his eyes slightly to the side, then retracted them.

"It seems that Danzo-sama is indeed very discerning."

"This kid's performance is really good."

He said silently in his heart.

But the steps under my feet did not stop at all, and the world in front of the branches and leaves suddenly became clear.

The endless open space is also a huge abyss.

The man wearing a mask stood at the edge of the pit.

Waiting for Uchiha Tatsuya behind him to catch up, it didn't take long for Uchiha Tatsuya to pop out of the leaves.

Sticking to the tree trunk, he was slightly startled as he looked at the world that suddenly opened up in front of him.

This is....

"There is actually such a huge project around Konoha?"

Uchiha Tatsumi was a little shocked.

At first glance, the arc of this huge sinkhole is very regular and full of traces of artificial carvings. It is obviously a giant project created by man.

Since it is not far from the Hidden Leaf Village, there is no reason why the village would not know about it if construction started, so it is obviously the industry of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"This is where?"

Uchiha Tatsu couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

The masked man turned his head and glanced at Uchiha Tatsu. He had a good impression of this kid, so he didn't hesitate to say a few more words.

"This is...'root'."

There were some emotional fluctuations in his tone, with a hint of fanaticism and admiration.

In the eyes of the members of the 'Root' organization, 'Root' is the greatest organization in Konoha.

He silently contributed to the Hidden Leaf Village, doing all the dirty and tiring work that any ninja under the light would not want to do, and many dangerous tasks cost his life, but he had no regrets.

Not even a name was left.

There is only one code name.

Unsung hero.

"'root'?"

Uchiha Tatsu was a little confused because he realized that he had never heard of this name.

But the masked man didn't explain anything, he just made a complicated seal with his hands.

Then pressed it in the air.

"open"

There was a low drink under the mask.

Then he saw another scene that shocked Uchiha Chen. A lavender light curtain gradually emerged from the void.

Shining with gleaming brilliance.

"This...what is it again?"

Uchiha Tatsumi said silently in surprise.

Today was really an eye-opener for him.

The world after becoming a ninja is indeed colorful, and I have seen so many interesting things in one day.

It seems that chakra has many functions, not just using ninjutsu or acting on the human body.

It is also possible to form such a light curtain.

If the masked man hadn't opened it just now, something terrible would have happened if he had bumped into it.

Obviously these translucent lavender light curtains are not just used as a wall.

It also has some damage capabilities.

No wonder the further you go here, the more dead silence you get, not even a small animal can be seen. According to common sense, the deeper the forest, the more ferocious beasts there are.

But here, it is obvious that these animals have suffered greatly.

"Let's go."

The masked man put away his hands, put them into the wide sleeves of his robe again, and then said in a deep voice.

A gap had opened in the light curtain in front of him, and the man strode in, then jumped down.

Uchiha Chen glanced at it, and then he had no choice but to follow him.

Uchiha Chen, who had just submerged into the abyss, shuddered slightly.

No wonder he wears such thick clothes.

This kind of sky is still so airtight.

It turns out that the underground world is so cold.

Jumping between chains, and finally landed on the bridge.

Walking on layers of intertwined iron chains.

Wow!
