Naruto curled up his legs and squatted in the corner.
Naruto didn't know how long he stayed in this dark and damp dungeon.
The surroundings were pitch black, with only a faint glimmer of light coming from the torches in the corridor, and even this glimmer of light could only be projected into the dungeon through the window on the door.
His arms were tightly bound by chains, and his legs were fixed to the wall by a chain. He could only move within a certain range, and there was no freedom at all.
The guard outside stood by the door, looking through the window into the dungeon.
"Is the person dead?" the guard asked.
Naruto didn't make a sound and just moved his body slightly.
Whenever these guards saw him moving, they would move away.
No one cares about a kid's attitude, as long as he's still alive.
This time is no exception.
After the guards left, Naruto immediately came to the wall on this side and took out a brick - only he knew what was on the other side of the wall.
After taking off the bricks, Naruto lay down by the wall and pointed his eyes at the black hole.
pitch black,
Just like the dungeon where he is.
Even the faint light coming in from the window did not let anyone see that anything else existed.
Naruto knew there was someone in the dungeon next door because he could hear breathing.
However, no one had spoken before.
"Is anyone here?"
Naruto asked softly.
He didn't expect an answer, but he had been locked up here for too long.
He longed for someone to talk to him.
However, based on previous "experience", there is a high probability that no one will answer.
Naruto had expected it. After all, it had always been like this. It was not surprising that no one answered this time.
Just when he was about to turn his head to seal the hole again, there was a sudden movement from the next door, like something rubbing against the ground, and then he heard rapid breathing.
The celebrity's heartbeat quickened and he stared straight at the hole in the wall. Not long after, voices came from the other side of the hole.
Weak, hoarse, it's a female voice.
"who?"
"Who are you?" Naruto asked quickly.
"Child?"
The man was stunned and didn't expect that the person "living" next door was actually a child.
"Well... my name is Kaede, and I am a ninja from Takigakure Village." the female ninja said.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I am... a trainee ninja from Konoha Village." Naruto said.
"Konoha Village? Trainee ninja?" Feng was stunned, "I didn't expect that I would be locked up with a trainee ninja."
"You seem to be seriously injured."
"Of course, if they don't hurt me, I will kill them all first." Feng thought for a moment and felt that this sentence was a bit exaggerated, and added, "Even if I can't kill them, I can still escape."
"Why are they targeting you?"
"Because I am a jinchuriki...they want to gain the power of the tailed beasts." Kaede said.
"Tailed beast?" Naruto clenched his fists. He seemed to have heard Iruka mention it.
"You are a child, why are you here?" Feng asked casually.
"I……"
"Are you also the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki?" Kaede asked.
"I..." Naruto was about to ask what a "jinchuuriki" was, when he suddenly remembered his "Kyuubi" and his mood immediately dropped.
"I'm telling you, if we don't find a way, both of us will die."
"Do you know something?" Naruto asked quickly.
"Haha, those guarding ninjas probably saw that I was about to die, so they spoke unscrupulously, and I finally got some information. If it had been before, I wouldn't have just waited for death, but now...ahem..." Feng
After coughing a few times and taking two breaths, I felt a little better.
"What's wrong with you?" Naruto was worried.
Although he and Feng hadn't met yet, they were in the same dungeon and were both imprisoned here because of the tailed beasts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were suffering from the same problem.
When Kaede's body was in trouble, Naruto couldn't help but become nervous.
"No..." Feng took a breath, "I was forced to use ninjutsu, restricted chakra, and used ninjutsu illegally. If it weren't for this, I would have run away. But now I have to take risks.
If you don't leave, you will really die. Boy, the same goes for you."
Naruto's back felt cold and he looked around in panic.
It's like a bunker here, with no way to escape.
"How...how can we escape from here?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Can you still use ninjutsu now?" Kaede asked.
"Okay. But there are chains that restrict me." Naruto raised his hands.
The chains on his wrists were very heavy, not to mention those on his feet, restricting him to a very small area.
"Boy, if you cooperate with me... I don't mind taking you with me." Feng said with a smile.
Originally, there was no second person in Kaede's plan, but now she can't use chakra, and the only person here who may be of the same mind as her is Naruto.
The only drawback is that Naruto is too weak, and may not even be able to defeat an ordinary ninja.
However, it was also because he was too weak that he was not subjected to "Fire Escape: Heavenly Prison". Otherwise, there would be no 0.1% chance of escaping.
Although the chances are not great now.
"Come here, I'll tell you how to use ninjutsu. Whether we can escape depends on your performance." Feng said in a very low voice, leaning against the hole in the wall.
…
"This is Yuyin Village?"
Tsunade stood outside Amegakure Village, looking at the village in front of her.
Compared with more than ten years ago, Yuyin Village has become larger, as if it has been renovated.
It's just that the rain is the same as then, very heavy, and shows no sign of stopping.
"That's right." Jiraiya nodded, "Do you still remember what I said before? As long as you enter the ninja village and get wet with raindrops, Pain will sense the presence of the intruder from the chakra of the raindrops."
Tsunade nodded.
Konoha Village is already in contact with other ninja villages, and the team has been assembled.
As an advance force, they need to gather information.
Including a series of issues such as the layout of Amegakure Village and Payne's residence. Among them, the most important point is to determine whether Naruto is in Amegakure Village.
"You can't get water on you? How do we get in?" Tsunade asked puzzled.
"I will enter through the sewer, and you will stay outside for now." Jiraiya said.
"No, this is too dangerous." Tsunade shook her head.
"There is nothing we can do about it. If there are too many people, they will notice it. And you are not familiar with this place. Once discovered, we will all die."
"What about you?" Tsunade asked uneasily.
"I just sneaked in, found a ninja, and asked if Naruto was here and where Pain lived. Once I find out, no matter what happens, I will return immediately," Jiraiya said.
Tsunade stared at Jiraiya, nodded slightly, and added: "Once we find something abnormal, we will rush in at all costs."
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, then at Kurotsuchi and Kiden Mangetsu who followed them, without making a sound.
