ninja bandits

After dinner and parting with Miyin, Kaguya hurried decisively to her small home in the southwest of the village before night fell.

The scenery changes along the way, the voices of people become increasingly sparse, and the houses on the street are no longer as close together as they are in bustling areas.

But compared with the previous buildings, it can be clearly seen that the quality and design style of the buildings in this area are much more elegant and luxurious, a bit like the villa areas in Kaguya's previous life.

If I have to make an analogy, this is indeed the 'villa area' of Kirigakure Village.

Because this area was when Kirigakure Village was founded, the first generation Mizukage was divided into the residence of the blood successor families who controlled 20.00% of the wealth with 70.00% of the population.

As a member of the Kaguya clan, the largest clan in Kirigakure, Kaguya's house is naturally located here.

However, since Kaguya's parents were only chuunin and his current status in the clan was not high, the house left to him by Kaguya's parents was only located on the edge of this area.

Turning left and right, a very familiar two-story stone single-family house jumped into Kaguya's sight.

Compared to the high-rise compound in the center of this area, Kaguya's house is not big, and its exterior decoration is not even luxurious. It even looks a bit shabby from the outside because it has not been taken care of for many years.

After taking out the key and opening the door, Kaguya didn't immediately take off his shoes and enter the house. Instead, he quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted in a low voice: "Earth Release: Dust of Appearance."

Following the guidance, the chakra stored inside the cells spurted out, following a special trajectory, and quickly converged on Kaguya Hugh's eyes, dyeing his black and white eyes with a purple halo.

Coupled with the gray and broken hair, it added an enchanting look to his originally gentle face.

In Kaguya's vision, the originally colorful world instantly turned into purple.

Then he took off his shoes and entered the house, carefully searching the surrounding walls, ceiling, and floor. After finding no traces of the intrusion of uninvited guests, the purple light in Kaguya Xiu's eyes gradually disappeared.

Every time he leaves home, he releases non-toxic, odorless, invisible particles that spread all over the walls, floors, and various furniture in the room.

Unless the intruder has abilities similar to flying or spiritual transformation, 90.00% or more of them will inevitably leave traces.

This is one of the little habits he has retained from the battlefield in recent years.

After taking back the particles all over the room, Kaguya took a sip of water, moved forward two steps, aimed at the empty space in the center of the living room, traced the afterimages with his fingers again, quickly formed seals, and then lightly pressed his right palm on the ground. : "Earth Escape: Gate of the Earth."

The next moment, the cement floor in the center of the living room opened in response, revealing a one-meter-square hole for two people to pass side by side.

This cave entrance is not like those secret passages accidentally discovered by the protagonist in third-rate TV dramas. It looks dark and cold, and the cold air is constantly surging, like a huge mouth of the abyss that chooses people to eat.

Instead, it was like the ordinary corridors in Kaguya's previous life. Bright incandescent lamps were hung at the top of the corridors, illuminating each step of the stairs clearly.

The technology tree in the Naruto world is very strange. Although it is only Konoha 42, and there are still more than 20 years before the plot begins, 90.00% of the area looks like a farming civilization, but electric lights are enough to change human life. What I am used to has been around for nearly ten years.

Entering the entrance of the cave, going all the way down the stairs, it was about 20 meters deep into the ground before reaching the bottom. After walking through a corridor less than five meters, the scene in front of Kaguya suddenly became clear.

What catches the eye is a cylindrical hall that is at least five meters high and the size of an entire basketball court.

The furnishings inside the hall are very simple, with only a square table, four wooden chairs, and a few empty instruments with unknown functions.

In addition, the most eye-catching are the five doors embedded in the wall, three of which are located directly opposite the entrance, and the remaining two are separated on the left and right sides.

After entering the hall, Kaguya walked straight to the wooden door on the left side in front of him without stopping too much, and gently opened the door.

The space behind the door is no smaller than the hall outside. At a glance, the entire room is roughly divided into two areas.

The area that occupies most of the room is lined with bookshelves, filled with stacks of scrolls, books, and stacks of document-style information.

Over the years, Kaguya has collected ninjutsu scrolls through various means, as well as various types of books on politics, history, geography, physics, chemistry, etc.

Another area only occupies less than one-fifth of the room. There are three wooden tables. There are piles of books and scrolls on each table. Three men in white coats with exactly the same appearance are sitting on their own. Sitting at a table, writing furiously, calculating and recording something.

Sensing the airflow caused by the opening of the wooden door, the three of them immediately stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door. They saw the sharp-edged, gentle but masculine face, the handsome face of the Kingdom of Jueshui, sitting in the center. The man said: "The main body is back. Is the meeting over?"

Looking at the three shadow clones whose faces were exactly the same as his own, Kaguya nodded slightly and asked, "How was your mission today, No. [-]?"

The shadow clone, whom Kaguya Kyū called Number One, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied calmly: "The final summary is in progress."

"Yes, finish the work at hand as soon as possible and prepare to refresh the status later." After instructing the three shadow clones, Kaguya left the data room and turned around and entered the next room.

The area of ​​the middle room is similar to the data room just now, but the things stored inside are completely different.

In the area to the right of the entrance, there are shelves erected. On the shelves are placed cylindrical containers filled with dark green transparent solution. Some containers are empty, while others are soaked with some human limbs, severed arms, and eyeballs. , and other unidentifiable organizations.

It's like a standard scene used by directors in science fiction movies from previous lives to show the villain organization's inhumanity and evil deeds.

In the middle area, the prototype of a modern biological laboratory can already be seen. Microscopes, petri dishes, simple differential centrifuges and other instruments are placed everywhere in an orderly manner, and shadow clones in white coats are busy among them.

The right side is relatively empty. A platform similar to an operating table and its supporting equipment occupy most of the area. The remaining area contains a small number of instruments of unknown utility.

Seeing the visitor, one of the idle shadow clones was slightly startled. He immediately stood up and walked to the refrigerator nearby. He took out a test tube containing a milky white viscous solution and signaled to Kaguya: " This is the newly improved 'Deluxe No. 4', let's try the effect, the main body."

Staring at the nutrient solution called 'Deluxe No. 4', Kaguya Xiu frowned slightly: "Newly improved? I remember that I didn't arrange this research task for you recently, right?"

"While I was doing the experiment, the inspiration came to me and I couldn't stop it, so I improved it a bit." The shadow clone shrugged, with a pleased look on his face.

Taking the nutrient solution from the opponent's hand, the doubts in Kaguya Xiu's eyes have not dissipated: "Are you sure there is no problem?"

"Am I still going to harm myself?"

"Who knows." After muttering, Kaguya turned to look at the other shadow clone who was busy, and asked worriedly: "No. [-], has the newly improved nutrient solution gone through clinical trials?"

"Isn't No. [-] planning to do something to you?" The shadow clone labeled No. [-] replied without looking back.

Hearing this, Kaguya's head was full of black lines, and she directly smashed the nutrient solution in her hand at Shadow Clone No. [-]: "Give me the original instead."

The convenience of the Shadow Clone Technique is that the character of the clone created is not controlled by the caster. Occasionally, you will encounter one or two clones who like to trick teammates.

Steadily catching the flying test tube, Shadow Clone No. [-] covered his forehead with his other hand and said, "You don't even believe in yourself now. I'm so disappointed."

"Process the task at hand and prepare to refresh the status in 8 minutes."

Not bothering to pay attention to the other party's complaints, Kaguya Xiu left the biological laboratory directly after leaving a word.
