Sasuke stood in front of the door and didn't step in for a long time.
This is his home.
The weeds in the yard have grown up to around the knees, and the gaps between the flagstones are covered with moss. The corridor where people used to sit is now covered with dust.
Sasuke slowly walked into the house.
There are a lot of things missing in the room, and the cabinets, tables and chairs have all decayed. The original Uchiha Clan Crest hanging on the wall only has a circle of slightly darker traces left.
He paused in the living room for a while, then walked to his room.
The door is not locked.
Sasuke stretched out his hand to push it open, and his eyes slowly swept through it.
The ninja tool he used to practice when he was a child has long since disappeared, and there are still a few shallow scratches on the wall. Those were left on the wall because he failed to control his strength when practicing Shuriken.
Sasuke came to the wall and reached out to touch one of the marks.
His fingers paused for a moment and then quickly retracted.
Suigetsu Several people stood outside the yard and did not follow them in.
Even Suigetsu, who always talked a lot, became quiet.
After a while, Sasuke walked out of the room again.
No change could be seen on his face, but the Sharingan in his eyes had already opened.
"Action."
Karin nodded and immediately closed his eyes.
She first confirmed that there were no patrolling ninjas nearby, and then extended her perception to the south of Uchiha Clan Grounds.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
Karin sensed it for a while.
"There is no one nearby, and there is no Chakra underground."
Sasuke found the entrance to the drainage channel according to the map. Jugo lifted up the stone slab covering it and found that part of it was blocked by soil.
Suigetsu glanced inside.
"It hasn't been used for so many years, and the inside may have collapsed long ago."
"If you really want to go this way, let Jugo clear it."
Sasuke nodded, then he took out the map and walked along the street towards another abandoned house.
It was a warehouse that had been abandoned for a long time.
According to Orochimaru's records, this is a secret passage from Root extending underground from Konoha to near Uchiha Clan Grounds.
I'm afraid it was built back then to facilitate surveillance of the Uchiha Clan.
There were many rotten wooden boxes stacked inside the warehouse, and there was thick dust on the ground. Sasuke followed the marks on the map to the deepest point, and soon found signs that the stone slabs in the corners had been moved.
Karin squatted down and put his hands on the ground.
"There's someone down there."
She felt it for a while.
"There are not many people, about a dozen."
"There is an area deeper deeper where Chakra gathers, but my perception cannot enter. There should be a barrier."
Sasuke looked at Jugo.
Jugo walked to the wall and his right arm expanded rapidly.
Gray-brown skin covered the entire arm, and there were several holes behind the elbows that sprayed Chakra.
He clenched his fist and hit the ground hard.
Boom!
The warehouse shook violently.
The stone slab collapsed together with the soil below, revealing a passage hidden underground.
Before the smoke and dust dispersed, several Kunais had already flown out from below.
Sasuke ducked sideways and jumped directly into the passage.
Suigetsu followed closely with a long knife in hand, and Jugo and Karin also quickly went underground.
The Root ninja in the channel has responded.
Several figures rushed from the front, all wearing animal masks on their faces. Two of them Hand Seals at the same time, and flames and wind blades filled the narrow passage almost at the same time.
Sasuke pressed against the wall with one hand.
"Chidori Stream!"
The lightning instantly spread along the walls and ground.
The Root ninja who was rushing in front froze, and the ninjutsu in his hand was forcibly interrupted.
Suigetsu took the opportunity to rush past Sasuke and struck out with the long knife.
Bang!
Several Root ninjas flew upside down at the same time and slammed into both sides of the passage.
Jugo also rushed into the crowd.
His arm expanded again, directly smashing the person in front of him into the wall.
In the blink of an eye, most of the Root ninjas who came to stop him fell down.
Sasuke did not stop and continued walking deeper into the passage.
At this moment, a Root ninja suddenly rushed out from the side road.
Ninja Blade went straight to Sasuke's neck.
Sasuke lifted Kusanagi Sword and blocked Ninja Blade in mid-air.
Root Ninja used the force to retreat, and at the same time stretched his hand towards the communication scroll on his waist.
Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes turned rapidly.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
The lightning suddenly extended from Kusanagi Sword and instantly penetrated the opponent's chest.
The communication scroll in the Root ninja's hand is on the ground.
Sasuke takes back Lightning Release.
The body fell with a thud in the passage.
The remaining Root ninjas resisted and retreated deeper into the stronghold.
After several battles, Sasuke soon discovered that there were far fewer guards here than he expected.
Those truly difficult masters never appeared.
Sasuke didn't think much about it.
This is just a passage where Root is located below Uchiha Clan Grounds. The elites of Danzo are probably concentrated near Hokage Building.
Karin follows the team, constantly sensing the surrounding Chakra.
"The people in front are moving."
"They're going deeper."
Sasuke Speed up.
At the end of the passage is a heavy stone door.
Two Root ninjas were guarding the door, one of them was quickly Hand Seals. A large number of Sealing Jutsu ninjas were already lit up near the stone door, obviously preparing to completely destroy what was behind.
"Jugo!"
Jugo rushed up from behind.
He didn't slow down and crashed directly into the stone door.
Boom!
The stone door was smashed together with the surrounding walls.
The Root ninja who was guarding behind the door was also thrown away by the huge force.
Sasuke Go through the smoke and enter the room at the back.
There are a lot of scrolls and files stacked here.
The innermost shelf was already burning, and a Root ninja was preparing to throw all the remaining files into the fire.
As soon as the Root ninja raised his hand, a drop of water shot out from Suigetsu's fingertips.
Poof!
His wrist was shot through instantly, and all the documents fell to the ground.
Suigetsu blew on his fingers.
"Burning things in front of me is too disrespectful of me."
Root The ninja turned around and wanted to escape, but Jugo had already appeared on the other side.
He was stuck in the middle and could only pull out Ninja Blade.
Sasuke walked past him without even looking at him.
Suigetsu and Jugo are enough to handle the rest.
Karin came to the file rack and quickly checked the scrolls that had not been burned.
"Most of these are mission records."
"The innermost rows have been burned, and the rest can be taken away."
"Take them all away."
Sasuke opened the storage scroll that he carried with him and sealed the still intact data in it.
At this time, a rushing sound suddenly came from the distance.
Karin raised his head suddenly.
"Someone triggered the alarm!"
Sasuke turned his head and looked out of the passage.
A Root ninja who had just been knocked down by Lightning Release woke up at some point. He pressed his bloody hand against the wall, and a red spell spread rapidly along the passage.
By the time Sasuke and others put away their files, dense footsteps could be heard outside the passage.
At this time, alarms had sounded throughout the village, and lights were on near Uchiha Clan Grounds. Figures kept appearing on the roofs and streets, and the nearest Konoha Ninja had already arrived nearby.
Within the sensing range of Karin, the number of Chakra is increasing rapidly.
"A lot of people are approaching."
"It's too late to continue searching."
Sasuke took a look at the files that had not yet been checked.
"Bring everything you can take with you here."
Suigetsu and Jugo quickly took care of the remaining Root ninjas.
The four of them returned to the ground along the passage they came from.
When they walked out of the warehouse again, a large number of Kakkō appeared around them.
Ninjas kept falling on the roofs, and rapid footsteps were heard from both sides of the street. The entire Uchiha Clan Grounds was gradually surrounded.
Karin stands next to Sasuke.
"They're here."
Sasuke raised his head.
Hokage Building in the distance is particularly conspicuous in the night.
He pulled out Kusanagi Sword, and the lightning slowly lit up along the blade.
"Act according to plan."
