Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

A huge underground space in Konoha is where the root headquarters of Konoha is located.

The dark and damp corridors, the cold and oppressive atmosphere, deep underground here, where there is no sunlight all year round, are completely different from the warm and lively villages on the ground. The reinforced concrete supporting the underground space blocks the sunlight, and also blocks the smell of being human.

Shimura Danzo left the conference room and came straight here. As the leader of the root, the journey was naturally smooth.

Raising his hand towards something, a root ninja suddenly appeared and half-knelt in front of Shimura Danzo respectfully.

"Immediately find a few people to spread the news in the village that Hatake Sakumo abandoned the mission without permission for just one person and caused the village to suffer huge losses. Be careful to do it more secretly," Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Also Yes, go and bring the man Hatake Sakumo brought back to the root."

"Yes" the root ninja responded in a low voice and left instantly.

Shimura Danzo tilted his head, his eyes drifting away, as if his eyes were going through the reinforced concrete walls to touch the warm sunshine outside. After a long while, Shimura Danzo closed his eyes and murmured: "Sarutobi, kindness and weakness are just the opposite. In the thin line, I will do what you don't want to do. When a knife is out of control, if you don't want to hurt yourself, the best way is to destroy it."

In the woods, Chiba Mayi had a slight sweat on her forehead, silently reciting the order of the seals in her mind, intertwining her hands into a phantom, and forming seals quickly.

The speed of seal formation is equal to the speed of spell casting. In a battle, the side with the fastest seal formation can often seize the opportunity. When the gap in strength between the two sides is not particularly large, this slight advantage is likely to affect the final outcome.

Therefore, Chiba Zhenyi has not missed practicing in this area on weekdays, and her current speed of forming seals is pretty good.

What’s more important is to become familiar with the directional flow of chakra that accompanies the formation of chakras in the body. Each of the twelve mudras has a fixed chakra route. The formation of seals is the external form of chakra mobilization. Different combinations of mudras will Various ninjutsu will be formed.

When the chakra flow of a ninjutsu is proficient enough to form a conditioned reflex muscle memory, then when using this ninjutsu, you can break away from the seal and achieve seal-free release.

Of course, this will take a long time. What Chiba Mai needs to do now is to continue to familiarize herself with the order of seal formation and increase the speed of seal formation as much as possible.

When the last "Chen" seal was completed, Chiba Mai took a deep breath and spit out a series of rotating chakra wind blades from her mouth. "Dudududu" A row of deep holes suddenly appeared on the big tree not far away. .

Walking to the tree, Chiba Mai raised her right hand and groped for the holes in the tree, feeling a slight rough feeling on her fingers.

"It's still a little short of it. The change of wind attribute of chakra is still not pure enough." Chiba Mai shook her head. Sure enough, the time is still too short. Fortunately, all the wind escape seals on the scroll have been mastered. The only thing left is to improve the wind attribute. The quality of chakra.

"Gululu" her stomach growled. Chiba Mai looked at the sun in the sky, which was approaching noon. Unknowingly, the morning had passed. She decided to fill her stomach first and listen to what was going on in the village.

Generally speaking, the easiest place to get information is a tavern. Unfortunately, she is still underage and cannot enter an izakaya. Fortunately, what she wants to inquire about is not a secret. I think it should be the same in a restaurant.

Walking on the way to the most familiar store, Chiba Mai walked briskly.

"Hey, that was just now"

From the corner of her eyes, she seemed to see two familiar figures flashing past. Chiba Mai hurriedly took a few steps to a small alley on the left. When she came to the corner, she unconsciously stepped lightly and stuck her head out slightly.

Sure enough, not far ahead, two silver-haired men, one big and one small, were walking leisurely on the road, passed a corner, and disappeared from Chiba Mai's sight.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with White Fang's mood."

When the two of them passed the corner just now, she saw Sakumo Hatake lowering his head and saying something to Kakashi Hatake. There was a slight upward curve in the corner of his mouth, probably smiling.

Chiba Mai tilted her head and turned back to the original route. Since Hatake Sakumo seemed to have no problem here, let's check the public opinion.

I arrived at the store with ease and walked in. There were quite a lot of people there. It was lunch time and the store was almost full.

Chiba Mai looked at the few seats, found a seat near the center of the store and sat down, ordered her favorite food from the boss, and began to observe the people in the store consciously or unconsciously.

She was really shocked when she saw it. At the table in front of her, facing Chiba Mayi, sat a smiling young ninja, but that face always gave her a very fake feeling. It was like wearing a mask. After just looking at him for a few times, Chiba Mayi felt a chill and turned her head to try not to look at him.

Compared with him, the man on the left, who had a face full of flesh and a long scar across his entire face and looked very fierce, was more pleasing to the eye.

There was also a very ugly thin man on the right. After the boss brought the food, he seemed to have been reincarnated by a starving ghost. His whole head was buried in the bowl. There were leftover food residues on the table, clothes and the floor. I felt a thousand... Ye Zhenyi raised her head and grinned at her. The half-chewed food in her mouth was completely displayed in front of Qianye Zhenyi. She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, tried her best to show a polite smile, and then immediately turned back to stare at the front. The table did not dare to look around.

Now she finally understood why this place was vacant.

Although the people near this seat looked a little bad, she decided to endure it in order to better gather information.Unable to see but not clean, Chiba Mai decided to temporarily treat herself as a blind person and listen only with her ears.

Playing with disposable chopsticks casually in his hand, Chiba Maoi listened intently to the conversation of the people in the store. The content was very complicated and messy. Why did his wife scold him again last night? Why did the Inuzuka family dog ​​give birth to another litter of puppies? Dog, why did he get bitten by an insect when he passed by Aburame's house, and all sorts of things, but he didn't hear anything about Hatake Sakumo.

"Guest, the dishes you ordered." After receiving the food brought by the boss, Chiba Mayi dealt with the food in front of her, mostly focusing on the conversations of the customers in the store.

While waiting for the food, another person came to the table in front of her and sat across from the person with a fake smile. The two seemed to be old friends who had known each other for a long time. As soon as they sat down, they started chatting. It wasn't big, but she didn't hide it deliberately. Chiba Mayi heard it clearly, but they talked about normal topics.

"It seems like there is no news." Until Chiba Mai put the last bite of food into her mouth, she didn't hear any unusual news.

"Have you heard, Lord White Fang...mission...failure...loss..."

Just as Chiba Mayi was about to stand up, she vaguely heard an intermittent sound. She calmly lowered her hands on the table, raised her ears and focused all her attention on finding the source of the sound.

"It's him." Chiba Mayi was slightly startled. The voice seemed to come from the two people at the table in front of her. The volume of the voice was very subtle, and the people around her could just roughly hear it.

Let go of the "mind energy sensing" and carefully feel the feeling of chakra on the two people. Keeping it in mind, Chiba Mai did not stay any longer, went to the counter to pay the bill and walked out of the store.

Walking to the bookstore not far from here, Chiba Mai picked up a book and read it, but her perception was firmly locked on the two people in the store.

After a while, the two came out of the store, said goodbye to each other, and went their separate ways.

Chiba Mai did not follow. With her range of perception, as long as the two of them did not leave the village, they would be within her range.

In the next period of time, the man with the fake smile went to several places where villagers gathered, and stayed in each place for more than ten minutes. The actions of the other person were nothing unusual.

Towards evening, the man moved in one direction towards the edge of the village. After reaching a certain place, the man suddenly disappeared from Chiba Mai's perception.

"What kind of barrier is that?"
