When the mosaic-like figure of the most filial son in the ninja world appeared in the wilderness, Hanyu and his companions had already returned to Konoha under the cover of night.
When entering the village, although it was night, the bright red hair of the Uzumaki members still attracted the attention of the Konoha guard ninjas. However, since Mito was leading the team and there were also Anbu ninjas accompanying them, the team was able to enter the village smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
No one would doubt that Mito would do anything bad to the village. To some extent, she was more trustworthy than the Third Hokage. So with Mito's endorsement, there would be no problem for the Uzumaki clan members to enter the village.
Furthermore, the relationship between the two sides is already very close. Even part of Konoha's outer barrier was designed and arranged by the Uzumaki clan, so many times the two villages are inseparable.
After entering the village, Mito took her tribesmen away and temporarily settled them in her residence. The Anbu ninja went to hand in the task, while Hanyu went directly to the Third Hokage to report the whole story of the operation.
Hanyu went straight to the Hokage's office building. Although it was a little late, normally the Third Hokage should still be working overtime.
Sure enough, when Hanyu arrived at the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was still buried in his documents. When he found out that the person knocking on the door was Hanyu, he immediately put down the pen in his hand and waved away the Anbu ninjas who were guarding him.
Although what Hanyu has to do next is just a routine report, what should be kept confidential still needs to be kept confidential.
In general, the mission in the Land of Whirlpools went smoothly. The relocation of the Uzumaki clan was confirmed, and the first batch of Uzumaki ninjas were brought back. As a result, the "Shadow Stream" personnel were replenished and the secret mission began to be laid.
The encounter with White Zetsu could not be described in detail, Hanyu only mentioned it in general terms.
Anyway, the Anbu accompanying them will report many things to the Hokage in a more detailed manner, so there is no need for Hanyu to do this.
"Very good, whether it is the migration of the whirlpool or the secret mission of the 'Shadow Stream', it is now on the agenda, and I have to say that this seems to be a good start." The Third Hokage looked meaningfully at the scroll on Hanyu's back, and then continued, "Next, I will find a suitable opportunity to announce the existence of the 'Shadow Stream' to the village, and perhaps there will be such an opportunity soon."
Hanyu nodded. He didn't care much about the timing of the organization's publicization. He would leave it to the Third Hokage. He was more concerned about something else.
"Hokage, the Shadow Stream now has a fairly large membership. I think we will need a venue. After all, our mission is secretive and confidential, so we cannot mingle with ordinary ninjas, or even ANBU ninjas. So...Hokage should grant us a piece of land, a larger area, preferably within the third ring road."
The Third Hokage looked at Hanyu and thought that although Konoha was called a village, it was actually a town, but the size of this town was also very limited, so where did the three rings come from? Moreover, Konoha was already well planned, so where would there be such a large open space for you? Would they demolish it?
"I have already , and I have reserved an activity area for you. It is confidential and spacious enough. You can just move in directly."
As he said this, the Third Hokage rummaged through the table, then pulled out a file bag and handed it to Hanyu.
Hanyu took it, opened it on the spot, and pulled out the documents inside... It was a map, which marked in detail which area would be the exclusive control area of "Shadow Stream" in the future.
Well, it is indeed within the Third Ring Road, not far from the central area of the village, but the only problem is... it is a basement.
Well, Hanyu stuffed the map back into the file bag, accepting the Third Hokage's arrangement... Considering the nature of the Shadow Stream, he had long guessed that it would be hidden underground like the Root and some Anbu facilities. After all, the more confidential and shady something is, the more it should be buried underground. This is Konoha's tradition.
The basement is the basement, there is nothing wrong with it, and considering the future activities of the "Shadow Stream", the area designated for it by the Third Hokage is large enough, so that's enough.
Taking the map, Hanyu left the Hokage's office satisfied, and then he returned home.
After being away for a few days, his house was still quite tidy, as if it had been cleaned. Hanyu lay down to rest for a night, and then summoned all the Shadow Stream members the next day. They entered a house hidden on the side of an ordinary street one by one, and then came to the underground of Konoha through the passage hidden in the house.
In order to conceal their tracks, everyone naturally dispersed and entered here, and the Uzumaki members even used transformation techniques to cover their red hair and conceal their identities.
Underneath Konoha, there is a vast underground space, and now Konoha's underground project has not been completed yet, and its overall scale is still being expanded...Compared to the ground part where ninjas and civilians live together and it is a prosperous town on the surface, the underground part is actually more like a ninja village, which is why it is called a hidden village.
This is the "hidden" part.
After walking down twenty meters , a huge square underground space appeared. The depth of the space is fifty meters and the horizontal size is half of a parking lot, so when it is revealed in its pitch-black form, it is surprising enough.
Even Hanyu thought of Ryuchi Cave.
Except for a relatively open platform in the middle of this huge space, the surrounding areas are supported by densely packed horizontal and vertical columns like scaffolding.
The top is open and spacious, while the bottom of the platform is filled with functionally separated rooms.
Hanyu had entered Konoha's underground space once before, but that time was different from this time. This time he entered his own territory.
After spending a while touring the underground space out of curiosity, the crowd stopped in a room on the lower level.
Hanyu took off the huge scroll on his body and placed it on the only table here... From now on, this place will not only be the base of the "Shadow Stream", but a secret archive of the Uzumaki clan will also be built in this space.
Hanyu reached out and patted the scroll, attracting everyone's attention, and then he spoke, "Everyone, it's up to you now. Now this secret space is just a facade. Only the secret technique of the vortex can make it truly secret and safe - defensive barriers, early warning barriers, anti-detection sealing barriers, various camouflages, various traps, etc., etc., you can set up as many things as you know.
Our base requires our joint efforts to build and improve it."
The young Uzumaki tribesmen looked at each other and nodded at the same time... they liked what Hanyu said.
Young people are like this, as long as everyone builds a secret base together, they really become one of their own... Who doesn't like a secret base? To be frank, this is also a kind of middle school syndrome, and it is also a sense of belonging that is unique to the founders of the organization, such as "Back then, there were only a dozen of us and seven or eight guns."
And when the Uzumaki ninjas started working, Hanyu soon discovered a problem he had never realized ... when these people were working, they wasted a lot of paper, a lot of toilet paper.
A roll of spoolie, not a roll of toilet paper.
To set up various barriers and perform various spells, they need to use various scrolls of different sizes. After all, scrolls are different from ordinary paper. They are a kind of ninja tool, which must at least be tough, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and even be able to carry chakra.
Therefore, Hanyu felt that he should not have left the Hokage so hastily yesterday. At least he should have applied for some activity funds...
But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to apply now. Anyway, if the Third Hokage doesn't approve the money, he will embezzle the existing funds in his hands - even though that is a special fund for the construction of the Valley of the End landscape, but how can that kind of face project for the village be as important as his own project?
Hanyu wrote down all the questions that came to his mind. At this time, Hatake Sakumo scratched his head and walked to his side, then said, "Hanyu, what should I do?"
Hanyu was in charge of overall planning, Uzumaki was in charge of the work, but Sakumo could only watch, like a man who was getting something for nothing, without any sense of participation, so he was a little anxious.
Are you not happy without working? Hanyu glanced at the chakra short sword behind Hatake and said casually, "You know swordsmanship, don't you? Go find a wall and carve some words on it. Make some slogans to promote our corporate culture."
Sakumo: "…"
First, he didn't know what slogan to write;
Secondly, he knew swordsmanship instead of calligraphy;
Finally, what kind of company is Shadow Stream?
