Naruto the Genius

Chapter 35 Retrieving the Treasure Map
Lu Sen said: "At that time, my father did not expect that my second uncle would collude with the ninja and did not hide the treasure map somewhere else, but in the secret room in our own yard. Although the treasure map is hidden very secretly, my second uncle has occupied all our original places. Now he is constantly looking for my whereabouts on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is trying his best to find the treasure map. Even if he can't catch me, I believe he will find the treasure map one day."

Naruto said: "According to what you said, we must act quickly, otherwise Lu Yuan might have obtained the treasure map, and then we will be in trouble. Then I will take you with me, and send you back in case of danger."

"Okay, sir." Sagi Mori put on the night suit prepared for him by Naruto, and the two of them started their action after dark. They moved carefully along the way and it took a lot of effort to find the original place of Sagi Mori's house.

From the outside, it doesn't look like an ordinary wealthy family. It covers a large area, with countless buildings of all sizes. It looks like a small town. It seems that Lu Sen's father was also very rich before. But now there are a large number of guards around, patrolling repeatedly. Even people in the yard who occasionally want to go in and out have to be strictly checked, and people outside are not allowed to enter. This kind of ordinary guard is useless to Naruto, but it is inconvenient to bring Lu Sen with him. Lu Sen told Naruto that the treasure map is in a secret room in the garden. As long as the mechanism is touched, the door of the secret room will open. Naruto asked Lu Sen to point out the specific location and then send him away, and then come alone.

It was not difficult to act alone in this situation without ninjas. Naruto sneaked in quickly. When Naruto arrived at the garden mentioned by Sagi Mori, he found something strange again. A high wall was built around the garden, which surrounded the garden tightly. There was only a small door for entry and exit. There were two ninjas standing at the door. Although they were wearing masks, Naruto felt that they were at least Jonin. There were constant clanging sounds coming from the wall, and people were talking inside. It seemed that many people were working inside. As for what they were doing, it was not clear for the time being. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Naruto could not just kill the ninjas at the door and break in.

At this time, Naruto noticed that there was another house not far from the small gate. Judging from the layout of the house, it used to be where the servants who managed the garden lived. But now there were also a lot of guards standing at the door. Just when Naruto was about to approach the house to find out what was going on, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran over from the front. He was not very tall, with two long beards hanging from his mouth and a wretched face. It was the Lu Yuan described by Lu Sen. When the guard saw that it was Lu Yuan, he immediately opened the door and let him enter the house. Seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, Naruto was more certain that there must be something important in the house.

Naruto quietly came to the roof, leaned down, and listened to the movement in the room. He only heard the sound of a man drawing a sword in the room, followed by Lu Yuan's begging for mercy: "Master, please don't do it. No matter what, I will do it according to your wishes. I just hope you can give me more time."

It looked like someone had a knife on Lu Yuan's neck. This person was also very hot-tempered. He said to Lu Yuan, "Didn't you say that the treasure map must be in this garden? We have been digging for so many days and haven't found anything. Are you kidding us?"

At this time, another person's voice came from the room: "Hasn't that kid Lu Sen been found yet? If this continues...
A woman's voice interrupted him: "It's because you killed all the people. Otherwise, it would have been long ago."

Another person's voice came up: "Okay, give him another three days. If there is no progress after three days, he will die a miserable death. Why don't you get out of here!"

Then there was the sound of a door opening and the figure of Lu Yuan running out in a panic. Naruto was too lazy to chase Lu Yuan and continued to lie on the roof and eavesdrop.

I only heard the voice of the one who drew the sword before saying, "Captain, our mission is to find the treasure map, but we have been digging here for nearly a month and have not gained anything. I am worried that we will not be able to complete the mission at this rate, and it will be difficult to deal with it then."

The captain said, "Don't worry for now. We don't have any better solution. After all, Lu Yuan is his brother. If we can't even find him, no one else will be able to find him. And we can't find Lu Sen for now. We can't make too much noise about this matter, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to us." At this time, the woman said, "The captain is smart, unlike some people who only know how to kill, kill, kill."

"You, do you want me to kill you?!"

"Haha, if you have the ability, come on over."

"Okay, stop arguing, you guys go to rest first, I'll keep watch."

After that, Naruto could no longer hear any sound, but he had already grasped a lot of information. He came down from the roof and wanted to take a look inside the garden. The wall was high but it could only block the line of sight. It was not a difficult task for a ninja. Naruto found a place where no one was watching and slowly climbed to the top of the wall through chakra.

There were many people inside digging continuously, and it was completely different from the previous garden. Naruto had no way to tell the location of the secret room, but if they continued like this, they would dig it out sooner or later. Fortunately, the secret room was deep and very hidden, and it looked like they hadn't found it yet. However, Naruto saw that there seemed to be no ninjas inside, and it seemed that the other party was short of manpower and only guarded the exit.

Just when Naruto didn't know what to do, someone suddenly shouted: "There are bricks underneath, we've found the secret room, everyone come over and help dig." A group of people worked together and soon dug a hole. As the hole continued to expand, they could clearly see the secret room inside.

At this time, the ninjas outside had already arrived. Just as Naruto had heard, there were four ninjas, all wearing masks, and they were all quite strong. The tall man in the lead jumped down from the hole, followed by the female ninja, and the other two were responsible for standing guard outside.

Naruto had been hiding at the bridge head and observing. He saw that the ninja had been down for a long time and had not come up yet. He thought that even if he found the secret room, it would take a lot of effort to get the treasure map. According to Lu Sen's previous description, the treasure map was also hidden very secretly in the secret room. Even if he got to the secret room, it would not be so easy to find it.

Naruto didn't care about this before, because in his opinion, as long as there are ninjas who can perform earth escape, they should be able to find it quickly, including finding so many people to dig the ground is unnecessary, at most it will consume more chakra. But Naruto was very curious why the other party didn't use this trick, it's impossible that there are so many ninjas and none of them can use earth escape. Anyway, I can't figure it out for the time being, so I can only wait slowly.
