In the fog ahead, a huge sea fortress made of three abandoned freighters slowly emerged. The deck was filled with fully armed guards, and the beams of searchlights raked back and forth across the sea.
"Password."
A small boat came over, and the guard on it was holding a heavy crossbow, and the arrowhead glowed with a faint blue light.
"The fallen leaves return to their roots, and the dead trees bloom." Sai skillfully reported the incisions that he had tortured from Gen'ō, and at the same time quietly stuffed a bag of gold coins, "We want to see the Undertaker, and we have good stuff to sell."
The guard weighed the money bag, greedily listening to the crisp sound inside, and his tense face relaxed.
"Go up. Don't cause trouble. There are big shots here today."
The small fishing boat docked at the sea fortress.
As soon as I stepped onto the deck, the oppressive atmosphere hit me. People of all kinds gathered here: rebel ninjas, mafia, and even a few nobles wearing Damingfu costumes. Everyone wore a mask or covered their face, and looked around with vigilant eyes.
The hall is located in the bottom warehouse of the freighter, which has been transformed into a huge auction house. Surrounded by Iron Cage, there are various rare and exotic animals, and there are even a few dull-looking humans - look at Forehead Protector, they are some missing ninjas from Xiaonin Village.
"That's..." Sai's eyes stayed on a display cabinet in the corner.
There was an arm. The pale skin was inlaid with a few red Sharingan.
"That's a replica of Danzo's arm." Sasuke's voice was as cold as ice, "The workmanship is very rough. It should be pieced together with the remaining limbs of Xin's clone."
"This place is simply hell." Sai's fingers trembled slightly, as if resisting the urge to paint this place into ruins.
"Everyone! Welcome to "Paradise of the Dead"!"
On the high platform, a man wearing a tuxedo and a crow mask spread his arms. His voice spread throughout the audience through the loudspeaker, with a sickening excitement.
"Today, we have a grand treasure. This is excavated from the ruins of the legendary "Shell" organization. It is a real relic of God!"
Following his gesture, several strong men came up pushing a huge cage covered with black cloth.
Sasuke's intuition went crazy and called the police at this moment.
There is nothing dead under the black cloth.
It was an extremely weak but extremely dangerous Chakra. It had the same frequency as the "wedge" on Boruto and Kawaki.
"The starting price is 500 million taels!"
"Five hundred million taels?"
A commotion broke out in the crowd. The price was enough to hire a S-rank rebel ninja army to destroy a small country. But soon, greed overcame reason.
"Five hundred and fifty million!" A fat man covered in gold jewelry held up a sign.
"Six hundred million!" followed a gloomy voice from the corner.
Sasuke ignored these crazy bids, and his sight seemed to penetrate the thick black cloth. Although Rinnegan's pupil power was blocked by Eyepatch, the disturbing Resonance feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Sai." Sasuke's lips moved slightly, "Get ready to take action. That thing can't escape."
"Understood." Sai's hand quietly reached into his sleeve and pinched a special paintbrush. "There were four Chakra reactions behind the host. They were very strong, probably at the Jonin level. Moreover, the structure of the ship has been modified, and there are Explosive Tags everywhere."
"Six hundred and fifty million! Does anyone want to increase the price?" The crow-masked host's voice was so excited that his voice was trembling, "This is a container that can give mortals the "power of god"! As long as you have it, even your guard dog can become Tailed Beast!"
"If it's so good, why don't you use it yourself?"
A cold voice suddenly cut into this fanatical atmosphere.
The whole place fell silent for a moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on the one-armed man wearing a shabby ronin suit.
Sasuke walked forward slowly, stepping on the rust of the iron plate with every step, making a dull sound.
"Who are you? If you don't have any money, get out of here!" The fat man who bid 600 million yelled angrily, waving his hand for the bodyguard behind him to take action.
The two burly men rushed towards Sasuke with a ferocious smile, and smashed down the maces in their hands with a sound of wind.
There was no bloody scene.
Sasuke just turned slightly sideways, and no one even saw clearly the action of him drawing his sword. The weapons of the two big men were broken into two pieces in mid-air. Then, they seemed to be hit by invisible heavy hammers, flew out, and smashed into the Iron Cage on both sides, scaring the beasts inside to shrink into a ball.
"I'm here to collect garbage." Sasuke raised his head, the exposed right eye was dark and without a trace of ripples, "Pull off that piece of cloth."
The host on the high platform took a step back. The murderous intent in that moment made his shirt soaked with cold sweat on his back. But he quickly calmed down. This was his territory, surrounded by hundreds of fully armed mercenaries.
"It seems he's here to cause trouble." The host sneered and snapped his fingers, "Kill him."
In the surrounding shadows, countless kunai and Senbon shot towards Sasuke like a torrential rain. At the same time, the floor suddenly cracked, and several huge puppet beasts came out, opening their large mouths full of jagged teeth to bite his legs.
"Ninpo·Super Beast Scroll·Kirin dance wildly!"
The ink-colored beast surged out from Sai's scroll, roaring and knocking away the puppets. Sai jumped into the air, waving the brush in his hand until it was only an afterimage, and the ink turned into a huge flying bird, carrying him to swoop towards the high platform.
"So much for the juggling."
Sasuke pulled out Kusanagi Sword, Lightning Release Chakra stirred on the sword.
Chidori Stream.
A blue-white electric current burst out around him, like a blooming thunder and lightning lotus. The hidden weapons that were shot were bounced away and melted the moment they came into contact with the electric current. Before the mercenaries around him could scream, they were paralyzed by the electric current and fell like wheat.
Sasuke's figure disappeared in the lightning. The next second, he was already standing on the high platform, with the tip of his sword pressed against the host's throat.
"Open it." Sasuke repeated.
With trembling hands, the host grabbed a corner of the black cloth and pulled it off violently.
There are no monsters or high-tech weapons in the cage.
There was only a little girl, about five or six years old, huddled in the corner. Her body was covered with tubes, her skin was a sickly gray-white color, and there was a black diamond-shaped mark on the palm of her left hand.
That's "wedge".
But this wedge is incomplete, with blurred edges, like a failed tattoo, which is constantly eroding the girl's arm, causing the skin there to fester and become necrotic.
"Is this the power of God you call it?" Sasuke's voice contained suppressed anger.
"This... this is the experimental subject..." the host stammered in explanation, "Although it is unstable, it can indeed extract Chakra... as long as you change your body..."
Swish.
An arm flew out.
The host covered his broken arm and screamed and fell to the ground. Sasuke didn't even look at him, and swung his sword to cut off the chain of the cage.
"Sai, take her away."
