Chapter 120: CH 120
Naruto growled, "Shouldn't there be some way around this stuff? We still have one more of these things to check and with our track record the next one might just spontaneously combust when we get within five feet of the entrance."
After leaving the building housing the statue of death, Naruto and Sai entered what looked to be the administrative building. The skeletons of fallen enemy and Uzu shinobi alike told them both that a fierce battle had gone on inside of this building. Of course the corridors to the main office were booby trapped, once again with a seal array that locked them inside of a long hallway and began to cook the boys alive. Naruto was luckily able to locate the seal array on one of the walls and mentally shut out the heat roasting him alive until he could break down the seal and deactivate the trap. Naruto took notes on that seal before they left, hoping that it could be applicable elsewhere, it was a pretty nasty trap.
Upon reaching the main office they found that it had been ransacked. There was nothing, the vault was empty, even the desk had been stripped bare. They boys then left and entered the next tower, which was basically a chakra-less run through a building filled top to bottom with a ridiculous amount of traps ranging from sealing arrays that shot fire, collapsing floors leading to spike pits, ranged kunai and shuriken triggers, and the pool filled with water that had a live current running through it.
Naruto looked up at the sky and yelled, "All I've learned in this place is that I know nothing about booby traps! How did these people get beaten again?"
Sai took a moment to bandage his wound, "Should we rest before entering the final tower Naruto-senpai? Who knows what will be in there." Naruto nodded and sat down on the walkway looking out at the raging whirlpool they were standing over, "That is one imposing landmark." Naruto saw Sai wrapping bandages around his exposed midsection, "Are you okay? You aren't hurt too bad are you? You should tell me if you are, because you don't have a six story fuzzy red physician in you like I do."
"Go fuck yourself ningen. Physician that."
Sai grunted in affirmation, "They are just flesh wounds sempai. I will be fine after a short rest."
Naruto accepted his answer before deciding to chew the fat a bit with the boy, "So Sai-kouhai, did Danzo-jiji finally let any girls join Root or is it still just full of dudes, because I told him about that."
Sai paid close attention to his wounds as he spoke, "Root has females Naruto-senpai. Reva-san is a girl, as is Maki-san. They came up around the same time you did and are within a few years of your age. How did you not notice them?"
