Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Chapter 435: The space beneath the stronghold

Of course, Bai Mingyu's actions are not without impact.

Before that, his ice clone forcibly broke through the outer guards and broke into the stronghold, causing a lot of casualties to the stronghold personnel. Therefore, two or three days later, many of these guarding ninjas still have smiles on their faces. With nervous expressions on their faces, some people were still wearing bleeding bandages, and the intensity of patrols was obviously much stronger than a few days ago.

In addition to the guards on the surface, Bai Mingyu also captured several hidden traces of chakra fluctuations.

It looks like a ninja hiding in the dark and peeking.

but

It doesn't matter either way.

Bai Mingyu was not interested in the troubles Cardo encountered, nor did he care about his life. Although the latter controls one of the top ten largest financial groups in the world and has financial resources that rival the country in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of ninjas, he is just a rich and powerful ordinary person. All he had to do to take his life was throw a kunai at close range.

Instead, Bai Mingyu was very curious about the guy who sneaked up from behind and scattered his ice clone in one breath.

Most of the purpose of his trip was to expose that person's identity.

In that case,

You don't have to worry too much.

Bai Mingyu first circled around the stronghold and roughly figured out where all the ninjas were hiding.

Then, after putting the invisibility cloak on himself to cover his body, he walked in from the main entrance of the stronghold.

Under the influence of the invisibility cloak, he was completely invisible to outsiders. Except for a few ninjas who were closest to the stronghold gate, they seemed to feel something. They looked back here with some confusion, but because they felt nothing Turning back, the others were not even aware of it, and allowed Bai Mingyu to walk into the stronghold gate without looking back.

Because he had the memory of his ice clone, Bai Mingyu walked through a winding corridor with ease.

At the deepest part of the passage, I saw a heavy iron door.

"squeak"

Bai Mingyu pushed the iron door open with a little force, then turned into a ball of flowing thunder and ducked in sideways.

When we got here, our eyes suddenly became brighter.

From the outside, this stronghold looks like a five-six-story building. Each floor is more than four meters high. It is a nearly 30-meter-high building. Judging from the standards of the Naruto world, it is already very tall. A rare high-rise building.

But in fact,

The space beneath the stronghold is wider than above.

Looking forward from a platform outside the iron gate, in front of us is an area that continues to extend below the ground. The spiral ladders are like dense sewer pipes, crisscrossing in the large underground space, forming a rather huge A maze network, with rooms of different sizes on both sides of the long and narrow corridors.

"Are these arrangements really made by Kado?"

Bai Mingyu frowned slightly, a strange color flashing across his eyes.

He had already seen this scene once from the ice clone's memory. The second time he saw it, he was still inevitably surprised.

Such a huge project cannot be completed overnight. Moreover, the difficulty of underground construction is much higher than above ground. It may take several years to build it into the present state. With the financial strength of the Cardo Group, it is not difficult to dig out such a large underground space, but it seems unnecessary.

And

This underground space reminded Bai Mingyu of another place:

The roots of the leaves

The base of the roots is also located below the ground.

When Danzo was still alive, Bai Mingyu had been there once, and his memory was still fresh. The scene in front of me is somewhat similar to the root headquarters.

Several shaking figures appeared in the corridor.

There were still faint human voices faintly heard in the distance.

Bai Mingyu came back to his senses, leaned out and took a look outside the platform, and vaguely saw a few figures climbing up the stairs below. They were obviously patrollers here.

"Then it's almost time for me to take action."

"The place where the ice clones were scattered seems to be somewhere near the bottom of this underground stronghold."

Bai Mingyu grabbed the railing, used his strength to fly into the air, and then jumped directly out of the railing.

Standing in mid-air, he stepped on the moon steps several times in succession to stop his falling momentum.

Finally, he landed firmly under the ground dozens of meters deep.

This is the lowest level of the entire stronghold. There are hard stone slabs under the feet, which have been polished by manpower and turned into a walkable road. There is almost no sound when stepping on it. Bai Mingyu stood up slowly with his hands on the ground and recognized After getting the direction, he walked towards the corridor on one side, looking around from time to time along the way.

When you are up there, you can occasionally see some bright incandescent lights.

But at the lowest level, there was no light at all. There were only some oil lamps placed on candlesticks fixed to the wall dozens of meters apart, and most of them were unlit. There was a dark scene all around, and it was almost impossible to see.

Even if Bai Mingyu pours chakra into his eyes, he can only distinguish things within ten meters around him. Further away, he can only see blurry outlines, and the visibility is very low.

slam

There was a faint sound of water in my ears.

Bai Mingyu paused and looked over when he heard the sound. His eyes fell on the other side not far away. There seemed to be a huge water tank there, and something seemed to be soaked in it. The sound just now was the squirming of something in the water tank. It came out after a moment of body movement.

"Why does this place look a bit like Orochimaru's research institute?"

Bai Mingyu frowned. Ever since he entered the underground part of the stronghold, everything he saw was weird, which gave him a very bad feeling. By now, he was certain that this place was definitely not just a stronghold established by Cardo.

A wealthy businessman can at most dig a sturdy and durable shelter for himself underground.

And here, it is more like a large experimental base.

"Let's go and have a look."

Bai Mingyu took a few breaths, paying attention to the movements around him with his eyes and ears. After making sure that no one was coming this way, he raised his hand to lift the hood of his cloak and walked towards the water tank.

"This is"

After approaching within ten meters of the water tank and seeing clearly what was in front of him, Bai Mingyu's pupils suddenly shrank.

A person.

A strong grown man.

At this moment, he was standing in a sealed glass water tank with his eyes closed. The water tank was filled with light green nutrient solution, which made the man's face look a little green. If it weren't for the left part of his chest still rising and falling weakly, indicating a beating. Bai Mingyu suspected that this guy was already dead.
