Capital of Water's black market is located underground in the city.
The entrance is in an abandoned warehouse and requires a special password to enter.
Senju Chen and Aying stood at the door of the warehouse and knocked three times.
"Who?"
A hoarse voice came from inside.
"Buying goods." Senju Chen replied.
"What kind of goods?"
"Live goods."
The door opened.
A thin man stuck his head out and looked Senju Chen up and down.
"New face?"
"First time here." Senju Chen smiled, "A friend introduced me."
The thin man hesitated for a moment, then finally gave way.
"Come in."
Senju Chen and Aying walked into the warehouse.
The warehouse was very dark, with only a few dim oil lamps. There was a downward staircase on the ground, leading to the underground.
The two of them walked down the stairs.
The lower you go, the more humid the air becomes, and it also smells of blood.
Finally, they came to the black market.
This is a huge underground space, surrounded by walls made of stone. There are various stalls in the space, selling everything.
Weapons, ninja tools, intelligence, and even human trafficking.
Senju Chen glanced at it and quickly found the target.
In the corner of the black market, there were a few ragged people squatting there.
Their eyes were empty, their bodies were wounded, and they looked like they had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Those people..." Aying lowered his voice, "They should be the Kekkei Genkai ninjas who escaped."
Senju Chen nodded.
He walked over and squatted in front of those people.
"You... are from the Yuki Clan?"
One of the young men raised his head and looked at Senju Chen warily.
"Who are you?"
"A person who wants to help you." Senju Chen smiled, "I know your current situation, and I also know that you want to escape Land of Water."
The young man was silent.
"How do you want to help us?"
"It's very simple." Senju Chen stretched out his hand, "Follow me. I will provide you with shelter and resources so that you can survive."
The young man stared into Senju Chen's eyes.
"What's the price?"
"Do things for me." Senju Chen's tone was very calm, "I need your strength."
The young man hesitated.
He looked at his companions next to him, and then at Senju Chen.
Finally, he gritted his teeth.
"Okay."
Senju Chen smiled.
"Smart choice."
He stood up and looked at Aying.
"Take them back to the branch and settle them down."
"Yes."
Aying stepped forward and motioned to those people to follow him.
Senju Chen did not leave immediately.
He wandered around the black market and found a few more Kekkei Genkai ninjas.
Some are the orphans of the Kaguya Clan, and some are survivors of other small families.
Senju Chen used the same method to buy them one by one.
By the time he left the black market, a dozen people were already following him.
Return to the branch.
"A dozen Kekkei Genkai ninjas..."
He muttered to himself.
"This is just the beginning."
Outside the window, the Capital of Water night was so thick that it couldn't be melted away.
In the distance, there were faint screams.
Senju Chen ignored it.
He knew that it was Anbu of Kirigakure who was cleaning out the "instability factors".
"Yagura ah Yagura..."
Senju Chen exhaled a puff of smoke.
"You Kirigakure now don't even have the inherited Seven Ninja Swordsmen. If you do this, you will destroy Kirigakure sooner or later."
However, this is a good thing for him.
The more chaotic Kirigakure is, the more chances he will have.
Those Kekkei Genkai ninjas who are cornered will become his strength.
Senju Chen stood up.
"It opens the day after tomorrow, so we have to prepare."
He walked to the window and looked at the night outside.
The fog of Land of Water blocked the moonlight.
But Senju Chen knows that one day when the fog clears, he will gain a lot.
After a while, Mizuno led a dozen Kekkei Genkai ninjas who had just been brought back from the black market to the third floor.
These people all looked young, the oldest was only in his early twenties, and the youngest was even a child. They all had injuries on their bodies, their clothes were in tatters, and their eyes were full of vigilance and fear.
"Don't worry, it's safe here." Senju Chen's voice was gentle, "This uncle will arrange a room for you to rest in a while. If you need anything, just tell him."
After gradually getting to know these people's families, Senju Chen's eyes fell on the last boy.
This is a child named Yuki Clan, who looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. His hair is silver-white, his skin is very white, and his eyes are light blue.
But the most eye-catching thing is the faint ice crystal pattern on his neck.
Those lines seemed to be alive, flowing slowly under his skin, exuding a faint chill.
"Come here." Senju Chen called to the young man.
The young man's eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and his body started to tremble slightly.
"Don't be nervous." Senju Chen walked over, "I just want to see what's on your neck."
The young man subconsciously took a step back.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Senju Chen smiled, "If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't save you."
The young man bit his lip and finally stood still.
Senju Chen walked up to him and reached out to push aside his collar.
The ice crystal texture is clearer.
Those lines extended from the boy's neck to his chest, forming a complex pattern. In the center of the pattern was a six-pointed star-shaped mark.
Senju Chen narrowed his eyes.
This is...Sealing Jutsu?
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the mark with his fingertips.
A cold Chakra surged up instantly, as if it was going to freeze his fingers.
Senju Chen did not stop. He mobilized his Chakra and carefully probed into the mark.
The Chakra in the imprint is very complicated, with layers upon layers, like a maze.
Senju Chen It took several minutes to barely figure out the structure of this seal.
This is a tracking type Sealing Jutsu.
And it's not an ordinary tracking technique.
This seal can not only track the target's position, but also monitor the target's Chakra fluctuations, and can even directly detonate the Chakra in the target's body when necessary.
"Interesting..." Senju Chen murmured to himself.
He took back his hand and looked at the young man in front of him.
"This seal was planted for you by someone from Kirigakure?"
The boy nodded, his voice low. "Yes... yes. They said this is to prevent us from escaping."
Senju Chen smiled.
Prevent escape?
What a liar.
If it's just to prevent escape, wouldn't it be enough to just kill him? Why go to such trouble to plant such a complicated seal?
Kirigakure... What the hell are you doing?
Senju Chen reminds me of some fragments from the original work.
Fourth Mizukage Yagura of Kirigakure appears to be cleaning the Kekkei Genkai family, but in fact it is secretly conducting human experiments.
Many of those Kekkei Genkai ninjas who were purged were sent to laboratories and became experimental subjects.
And this seal...
Senju Chen's eyes became profound.
If he guessed correctly, this seal should be used by Kirigakure to monitor experimental products.
Those Kekkei Genkai ninjas who escaped actually didn't really escape at all. They were all planted with this seal, and Kirigakure could find them at any time and detonate the Chakra in their bodies at any time.
"Tsk, tsk, that's really cruel..." Senju Chen muttered in his heart.
He looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly asked, "How many of you Yuki Clan are still alive?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"No... I don't know." His voice was filled with tears, "I only know that all the elders in the clan are dead, and only some friends and I escaped."
Senju Chen was silent.
He patted the young man's shoulder. "Go and rest. I will take care of this sealing matter."
The young man raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "You... can you really break this seal?"
"Yes." Senju Chen's tone was very calm, "But it will take some time."
The young man bowed deeply, and then left with Mizuno and the rest of the people.
Senju Chen was the only person left in the room.
He walked to the window and his eyes became cold.
Kirigakure...
It seems that this time Land of Water is not just as simple as gathering Kekkei Genkai ninjas.
If Kirigakure is really conducting human experiments, then he can try to figure out what they are studying.
However, Senju Chen believes that no matter how much research the other party does, it cannot compare to Orochimaru and Amado.
