I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Upon entering the private room, Naraku closed the door behind him, observed the interior of the room, and after confirming that everything was in order, walked towards the opposite wall.

"open!"

As Naraku approached the wall, he suddenly raised his hand and formed a hand seal. The next second, ripples appeared on the opposite wall, which turned semi-transparent.

And behind the wall, there appeared a sloping staircase.

Naraku didn't linger at this scene; he passed through the wall as if through a curtain of water, and then went down the stairs.

After Naraku passed through the wall, the ripples on the wall quickly returned to their original state.

If someone were to enter the private room at this time, even if they came into contact with the wall, it would be no different from a normal wall.

It is clear that the wall Naraku passed through was actually a barrier incorporating illusion magic.

Now let's talk about Naraku.

He quickly reached the bottom after descending the steps.

A dimly lit corridor awaited us.

Meanwhile, there are a total of ten stone doors on both sides of the corridor.

Naraku continued walking without stopping, heading straight to the seventh stone door.

He formed another hand seal, and instantly, the tightly closed stone door slowly slid down to the bottom, revealing the environment inside.

Inside the stone gate was a secret room.

Unlike the dimness outside, the secret room was brightly lit and even had a sofa.

It's worth mentioning that the secret room wasn't empty; there was actually a figure sitting on one of the double sofas.

This person was clearly wearing a standard ANBU combat uniform.

Moreover, her tight-fitting combat suit accentuated her shapely figure and long golden hair.

Even if the person is wearing a mask, it is still possible to tell that the person is a woman.

When the stone door opened, the blonde woman, who appeared to be from the Anbu, immediately looked at Naraku.

"You're a little late."

Eyes rolling.

A crisp sound came through the mask on her face.

The blonde woman greeted Naraku with obvious familiarity.

Naraku was not surprised to see the blonde woman in the secret room.

As he entered the secret chamber, he smiled and replied, "Sorry, Captain, I was too focused on my training today, so I'm a little late."

As they were talking, Naraku approached and naturally sat down on a single sofa on one side.

At the same time, as he entered, the stone door that had fallen to the bottom rose up again, sealing the secret chamber.

As soon as he sat down, Naraku wasted no time and took out a scroll he had prepared from his ninja tool pouch at his waist, then threw it at his opponent.

"This is the intelligence for this month."

When Naraku threw out the scroll, his words also revealed the scroll's condition.

The blonde woman caught the scroll precisely with a raised hand, opened it, glanced at it briefly, and then put it into her ninja tool bag. Immediately afterwards, she took out another scroll from her ninja tool bag and threw it at Naraku.

Naraku was somewhat surprised, but he reacted quickly and caught the scroll.

Looking down, he noticed the markings on the scroll that resembled patterns but were actually cipher text. He frowned slightly and looked at the blonde woman opposite him.

"Got a mission?"

The cipher markings on the scroll represent the mission credentials.

In other words, the scroll contains missions passed down from within the organization.

Yes. The name of this organization is "Root".

That's right.

Naraku is a member of Root.

This is why the blonde woman on the other side was wearing a dark side combat uniform.

Because the "root" is also part of the dark section in terms of its structure.

"Don't worry, this mission is not dangerous. With your strength, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you can complete it easily." The blonde woman nodded slightly.

"Hmm!" Naraku responded and immediately opened the scroll to examine it.

The contents recorded above made Naraku's gaze narrow slightly.

I don't know whether to call it a coincidence or inevitable.

The current task involves Uchiha Shisui, the person we discussed in the office during the day.

The mission required him to ascertain Uchiha Shisui's exact strength during the graduation assessment three days later, and simultaneously prevent Uchiha Shisui from passing the assessment.

Seeing this, Naraku's heart was not actually greatly affected, nor was he particularly surprised.

The reason is not only that he and Uchiha Shisui did not have much contact.

Furthermore, he knew perfectly well that it was perfectly normal for Danzo, as the leader of the Root organization, to suppress the Uchiha clan.

"Captain Nonou, this mission is indeed quite simple. I originally thought there would be some danger."

After reading the mission details, Naraku didn't show anything. Instead, he joked and chatted with the blonde woman.

Yakushi Nono, that's the name of the blonde woman opposite me.

That's right, it's the Pharmacist Nonou, who is known as the 'Walking Shrine Maiden' in the future of the original storyline.

Of course, at this time, Yakushi Nonou did not have such a big reputation; she was currently just the captain of one of the squads within the Root organization.

Yes, that is, the squad that Naraku belongs to.

Seemingly because Naraku called out her name, Nono naturally took off her mask.

Suddenly, her very beautiful face was revealed.

With her graceful figure and long blonde hair, Nono is undoubtedly a very charming woman.

Chapter 4 Suppressed Emotions

"You're now in charge of organizing the collection of intelligence on outstanding ninja seeds within the Ninja Academy. Generally speaking, even if there are missions, it will be relatively safe," Yakushi Nonou said with a gentle smile.

As a member of the Root organization, Naraku's role as a teacher at the Ninja Academy was certainly not for the purpose of actually instructing students.

The ninja academy can be considered a ninja village, the largest source of recruits.

Some of the Root organization's recruits also come from here.

In order to better recruit outstanding talents, the organization will specifically place personnel in the ninja academy to collect information on the students.

Naraku is currently in charge of this intelligence gathering mission.

He would come to this place, ostensibly a weapons shop but actually a stronghold set up by the Root organization in the village, every month to exchange intelligence.

"Indeed, it seems you really took my words to heart. With your current strength, it's best to avoid using banned drugs if possible."

When Nonou was discussing the mission, her gaze was focused on Naraku's face. After carefully observing Naraku's complexion, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Naraku smiled and said, "Of course I will keep the captain's words in mind."

He wasn't surprised that Nonou had discovered his situation.

After all, in addition to being a Jonin, the other party also possesses extremely powerful medical ninjutsu.

Given the other party's medical expertise, it would be incredibly easy for them to assess a person's health.

As for the so-called banned drugs, they are actually a special drug for root tissue.

Training personnel within the organization is extremely ruthless, not only in terms of the amount of training but also in terms of the training methods.

Although Root is affiliated with the Dark Side, in reality, with someone delegating power, Root can be seen as Danzo's private armed force.

Therefore, Danzo tried every possible means to make his armed forces strong enough.

For example, banned drugs are one such method.

In order to cultivate excellent tools more effectively and quickly, Danzo would have Root organization members take special drugs that could stimulate the body's potential during training.

This drug allows people to become stronger even faster.

The price is that it will deplete one's vitality.

If one takes banned drugs for a long time, then living to the age of thirty would be considered a long life.

Although Naraku appeared to be just an ordinary Chunin within the Ninja Academy, he was actually fully qualified to be promoted to Special Jonin.

This is not only because he possesses certain sealing techniques, but also because he has strength approaching that of a Jonin.

For Naraku to possess such strength at the age of eighteen, he is definitely outstanding.

The reason Naraku possessed such strength was not only due to his own hard work, but also because of the stimulation from banned drugs.
