Konoha Thief

Chapter 298 The sound insulation effect of the door of Hokage's office is extremely strong

In the dark underground base, the candle is about to burn out, leaving only a short wick, still burning the last remnant.

The shrill howl suddenly stopped, and a thousand books stirred up the shaking candle, lit a new candle, and the light was obviously brighter than the remaining wick, illuminating a gloomy face.

"Throw it out and dispose of it." Orochimaru put down the candle, and there was a hint of impatience in his hoarse voice, "It's just waste with no expectations. This fragile life has been doomed to be miserable from the very beginning. end."

Natsuki wiped the kunai in his hand, wiped off the last drop of blood, put the kunai back into the ninja bag on the side of his leg, and then summoned the ninja waiting outside, as if he didn't hear what Orochimaru said at all.

Orochimaru wasn't talking to him either. He turned around at this moment and saw that another bed in the laboratory was empty, and he didn't care too much. His research focus had already changed. The task assigned by Danzang, although Danzang himself must have known the status of the laboratory.

"Master Orochimaru, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Natsuki came to Orochimaru and said.

"Are you going to practice?" Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, and praised: "Natsuki-kun is really a genius to be able to possess the strength of Jonin at this age."

"You are overrated." Xia Shu said modestly.

"Hehe! Doesn't it seem hypocritical to be too modest." Orochimaru chuckled, then changed the subject, and asked instead: "Do you still have that purple chakra?"

"Only one copy is left. Master Orochimaru needs it?" Xia Shu said: "It's useless for me to keep that kind of chakra. If you need it, I will send it to you later."

Orochimaru couldn't be dissatisfied with his respectful attitude, but he just shook his head.

"It's just natural energy, that kind of pure thing will only cause disaster." Orochimaru looked at the boy and reminded: "You'd better get rid of that kind of chakra, otherwise, once it is contaminated, the consequences will be very bad .”

"Thank you for your concern." Xia Shu didn't say whether to accept the suggestion, but just thanked her.

"Hehe!" Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly, and said no more.

It's a little different from what he showed. It seems that he is not only talented, but also ambitious.

The boy's figure disappeared from sight, and he frowned again, his eyes fell on the floating candlelight, and he was a little absent-minded for a while.

"Natural energy... Immortal mode..."

Unlike when he casually said "it's just natural energy", at this moment his face was clearly showing a cold expression.

……

May [-]th, Leaf Hidden Village, light rain.

Namikaze Minato stepped on the stagnant water on the street, led the team covered in dust, and went straight to the Hokage Building at the end of his sight.

A moment later, Anbu sealed off the Hokage building, and a dignified atmosphere permeated for a while.

In the root base, Xia Shu was reporting about the experimental base on a daily basis, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared.

The oily girl Ryoma, his former teammate, has the ability to sneak into the root, which is said to be rare in a century.

It's just that he appeared here, why?
"What's the matter, let's talk." Danzo glanced at Xia Shu, and didn't let him back down.

Orochimaru's experiment of recreating Mutun made his expectations gradually cool down. Today, he is already impatient, and now he is ready to learn more about it, and then see how to deal with it.

However, this does not affect his trust in the subordinate in front of him, because there was a time-traveling wooden ninja in Loulan, and he had already obtained a positive answer from the secret room of the Hokage Building.

"Master Hokage summoned me." The oil girl Ryoma said.

"Oh?" Danzo raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you mention anything about it?"

"The specific information is not mentioned, but the reason is that Namikaze Minato Jōnin led the team back." Oil girl Ryoma speculated: "Maybe they brought back important information from outside the village."

Danzo pondered for a moment, and said, "Both of you, go to the Hokage Building with me."

"Yes!" Xia Shu and Younv Ryoma responded quickly.

When we came to the root base, the sky was drizzling, but now it has turned into a torrential downpour, and the cloud spread far away, covering the leaves. In this season when farming requires water, it is not difficult to imagine that this year will be It is a good year.

Stepping on the mud in the outskirts, the three of them moved quickly and soon set foot on the main street.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the air became thinner, and there was a dignified and depressing atmosphere all around, and Xia Shu, who had the perception of the heart network, could clearly feel the gazes from both sides of the street, the feeling of scrutiny , obviously not from the Konoha villagers enjoying the rain.

Compared with the strict security guards along the way, entering the Hokage Building went smoothly. This is obviously because of Danzo's identity. Otherwise, other ninjas, even the mainstay of the village, would have to undergo strict inspections.

There was silence in the Hokage building, but due to the overcast sky outside, blocking the sunlight, the building looked extraordinarily dark.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor, and one could vaguely see a painting scroll hanging on the wall in front of him. Behind the door there was the Hokage office.

"You stay outside." Tuanzang didn't turn his head, and after the words fell, he pushed the door open and entered.

During the gap between opening and closing the door, Xia Shu had a vague glimpse of the scene in Hokage's office, or the people gathered here.

Although due to the angle, he couldn't see Hokage's desk, and of course he couldn't see the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he must be in it at the moment.

And the first thing he saw was Namikaze Minato, who had brilliant blond hair and was dressed as a Jonin. The tall white-haired man beside him was Jiraiya. Although the other one only saw half of his face, There is only one middle-aged woman in Konoha Village who can appear in Hokage's office at this moment, and she is going to sleep with Xiaochun.

This is the first time Natsuki has seen this Konoha high-ranking advisor who has given many obstacles to the Fifth Hokage Tsunade in the original work, and since this one is here, another Mito Menyan must have arrived.

Just as he was thinking this way, the door of Hokage's office was completely closed, and the corridor that was slightly brighter just now became dark again, and in this darkness, there was no sound at all.

He couldn't help but glance at the door of Hokage's office. The sound insulation effect is so strong, couldn't it be made by Senju Hashirama himself?
He suddenly lost his mind.

It seems that the effect of Mu Dun on building a house is not inferior to the effect on tailed beasts at all, and it has achieved first-class ninja world.

At the same time, on the other side of the door, the atmosphere was solemn at the moment.

The ninja world is about to ignite the flames of war again.
