Creaking…
The door to the ANBU dormitory was pushed open.
What appeared in front of Qingyu was a ninja wearing a mask.
This was the first time he had seen ANBU ninjas. Every time he saw them, they were wearing masks and had no idea who they were.
"Qingyu, Captain Eaton calls you over." The ANBU ninja said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Qingyu nodded in response.
"This is for you." After the ANBU finished speaking, he took out a mask from his ninja bag, raised his hand and handed it to Qingyu, and added: "Wear it."
"Yes." Qingyu took the mask and took a look at it. The whole mask was white, with black and red tones drawn on it to look like a cat's face. It was a cat-face mask.
"Hurry up and go there. I have other things to do, so I won't take you there." After the ANBU ninja finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.
"yes."
Qingyu looked at the empty corridor in front of him, responded slowly, then picked up the mask and put it on his face.
After putting on the mask.
Aoba finally felt like an ANBU ninja.
Except for both eyes.
The whole face is completely hidden under the mask.
This couldn't help but give him an indescribable sense of security.
“Looks like I’ll have to wear a mask more in the future!”
Qingyu suddenly felt that covering his face to hide his identity felt very good, especially suitable for a systematic person like him.
No time is wasted.
Qingyu quickly arrived at the small black room of the torture department.
At this moment.
The small dark room has been transformed into a bright room.
Candles were lit on the candlesticks on the surrounding walls, dispelling all the darkness here.
This was the first time Qingyu saw the bright appearance of the small dark room, and the torture instruments hidden in the dark were completely exposed to sight.
There were more than a dozen people gathered in the bright little dark room.
Except for Captain Morino Iton, who was wearing a black trench coat, everyone wore masks and looked particularly formal.
After Qingyu comes.
No one spoke to him.
He didn't talk to these people either.
The whole small dark room was very quiet.
The air pressure is slightly lower.
Qingyu found a corner at the back and stood there silently, waiting for the passage of time.
Ten minutes later.
As ANBU ninjas came in one after another.
There were nearly thirty people in the small dark room.
"It's almost time."
suddenly.
Morino Itton spoke.
The sound reaches everyone's ears clearly.
Suddenly the attention of all the ninjas in the small dark room was drawn to him.
"I'm calling everyone here today to hold an internal meeting of the Torture Department."
Morino Iton's deep voice made everyone feel the seriousness of the matter.
Qingyu stood at the back.
His eyes focused on Morino Iton through the eye holes of the mask.
Listen carefully to what the latter says.
The ANBU ninjas present all had the same posture, listening to the speech from the leader.
"Almost half of you here have experienced the Second Ninja War!"
Morino Iton's eyes swept over the ANBU ninjas here.
Although everyone is wearing a mask, these masks do not provide much protection for people who have been familiar with it for a long time.
"Those of you who experienced the Second Great Ninja War know how our Torture Department operated during the war!"
"But there are still half of the newcomers here who have not experienced the torture department during the war and are still in a state of lack of training."
"So I'm here to remind you to adapt your body to wartime conditions as soon as possible."
"Then… "
"I'll reveal some more information to you!"
"Based on the intelligence we have obtained through spies and torture in the past few days."
"War may be coming in the near future!"
Morino Iton's voice became much louder, and what he said seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making everyone present couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Huh~"
The ninjas in the small dark room were all staring at Morino Itton, and their breathing became rapid.
war!
Such vocabulary.
No one wants to hear it easily!
Everyone, whether they have experienced war or not, knows what this means.
That's the pain!
As long as there is a war, there will be pain and pain!
There is no way to avoid it!
All of a sudden.
The atmosphere turned serious.
They all know.
Captain Eaton wouldn't joke about something like this.
"I guess you all still have some doubts!"
"Let me explain briefly."
"During the Second Ninja War, our Fire Country, as well as the Wind Country and the Earth Country, all suffered varying degrees of consumption and damage."
"The decline in combat effectiveness forces us to stop and recuperate."
"but… "
"As shown by recent intelligence."
"All signs point to it."
"The Kingdom of Thunder is constantly strengthening its armaments and is eyeing our three major nations of Fire, Wind and Earth!"
"Plus… "
"We, the three great nations of Fire, Wind, and Earth, are not on the same front, and we still have our own struggles with each other."
"If this trend continues..."
"I presume..."
"At most three years!"
"The war of the Third Ninja World War will spread in the ninja world!"
Iton Morino said with great certainty that this was not nonsense on his part, but an inference based on the information he had and his location.
"so."
"I asked you to come here this time."
"The main purpose is to cheer you all up for me!"
"Whenever there's a war."
"Our torture department must handle the task of obtaining intelligence!"
"Do you understand?"
Morino Iton's voice became louder and louder, giving Aoyu the feeling of a pep rally.
"clear!"
Everyone in the audience responded loudly. Everyone was high-spirited and seemed to be ready.
"The meeting is over!"
Morino Iton waved his hand casually, indicating that everyone could return to their respective posts.
"yes!"
After everyone responded, they dispersed.
The Torture Department is already a mature department.
There is no need for everything to go through Morino Iton's explanation.
It can operate completely normally.
Department members perform their duties, and everyone has their own tasks.
All of a sudden.
The whole crowd dispersed.
There were only three people left in the small dark room.
Except for Qingyu who didn't leave.
There is also an ANBU ninja wearing a mask, and Captain Morino Iton wearing a black windbreaker.
"You must be Qingyu!"
The masked Anbu ninja turned his head and looked at Aoyu. A pair of dark eyes could be seen through the eye holes of the mask, but no expression could be seen, and the latter's emotions could not be easily detected.
