Hokage Master

Chapter 456: Clearing the Territory

With a light step, the Hokage entered the territory of the Death Tower. There were no doors in it, and the first floor was a huge corridor with several forks.

From memory, Naruto knew that only the very last level of this tower had doors - it acted as a small observation post. In the past, this is where the Chnin in charge of conducting the exam were based.

With current technology, it was quite easy to cover the entire forest with CCTV cameras, and it was easy to control the entire area. But it just so happened that no one wanted to do it. The so-called "observation post" has not been something special for a long time.

Once upon a time this place was worth at least something, but now... Many halls and rooms are filled with wild plants, snakes and insects. Nature did not sit idle and already slowly began to absorb this place forgotten by people.

On the way to the last floor, Naruto even had to kill several predatory beasts. They weren't that dangerous, but here's a whole bunch of poisonous snakes...

He had to eradicate all the living creatures that strove to block his path. Leaving threats was not the best idea, given his plans for this place.

As for the windows and doors, there is nothing left of them. This tower was not just overgrown with forest and let in natural forces - it became abandoned, and completely useless.

It will definitely take a long time to repair...

Naruto quickly looked around, reached the top floor, and after what he saw, shook his head in disappointment.

This whole tower was in a terrible state, and that's putting it mildly...

On the last floor there was no equipment left, only insignificant traces of a person, which were defiled by the traces of the vital activity of some crowd of gray monkeys!

- Hm?

As soon as the Hokage's cold gaze focused on a dozen of those dirty monkeys, they immediately began to make hostile sounds, howling and hooting, jumping over the ruins of furniture.

These beasts really had the audacity to make their home here!

Naruto snorted and held out his hand...

Time to take out the trash...

The monkeys were immediately pierced by a sense of danger! Animal fear made them shrink in horror!

Whoo! Whoo!

Some immediately jumped out the window!

Here are just some who were in no hurry to leave their nest, but on the contrary, began to howl furiously, trying to drive away the stranger.

Unfortunately for them...

Everything was over!

The Forest of Death has changed - it has not been touched by the presence of man for too long. Many creatures have already forgotten how terrible human ninjutsu can be. Continuing to live in harmony with their instincts, they have lost the very fear that people instilled in them not so long ago ...

But suddenly, a terrifying roar covered miles of forest!

Death Tower Peak shook violently! A fiery wave flew into the sky!

Before this burning flash, it seemed that even the sun had faded ...

Like a dragon opening its mouth, everything in the path of this insane flame was burned to the ground!

The helpless monkeys did not even have time to indulge in the horror that arose in their hearts, as their flesh and bones turned to ashes ...

The raging flames slowly calmed down, leaving behind only scorched walls. The power of the technique was so high that it burned everything in its path.

In a second, the ceiling collapsed and there was nothing left of the traces of the monkeys ...

Naruto incinerated all their stench, leaving the top floor of the Death Tower in a charred pile...

Everything was covered with blackness, and the suffocating smell of burning ...

"Nothing will work..." After what happened, Naruto sighed in annoyance and went down to the floors below to choose the one most suitable for his next step. This one was clearly no good.

Cleansing from animals is just an insignificant matter, something else is much more important ...

This place needed a lot of preparation.

"Hmm... This one will do..." He chose the cleanest place and proceeded...

Fortunately, thanks to the possession of many elements, Naruto could personally put some places in proper order. He wasn't going to waste time on the entire tower, at least not now.

In the past, he already wanted to acquire his own base, but there was never enough time for this, even now he could not do everything alone. Unfortunately, bringing extra witnesses to this case is also not the best option. The only way out is to act gradually, improving this place from time to time.

With a calm look, the Hokage folded the hand seal and used the Metal Release technique...

As for the possibility of Tsume and Akita escaping, he wasn't worried at all. Akita will not dare to run away and disobey - he already foresaw this. This cowardly girl was so afraid of him that she definitely did not dare to leave without asking. As for Tsume... It's all clear.

In the past, Akita made a mistake and underestimated him too much, so now he will definitely not do stupid things. Without proper confidence in the ability to save her life - she will kneel for as long as it takes. But since even Tsume couldn't save her, who else could? Akita's nature is too cowardly...

Besides, if she takes a single step out of the office, Naruto will immediately know about it. The Akita may be stupid, but not that stupid. Now her fear is so strong that she simply does not know what to be afraid of.

What if he's watching? What if it's just a test? Even if this is not the case, the Akita will be afraid of absolutely everything. And Naruto wasn't wrong, she really didn't understand why he left.

This feeling was irresistible...

Maybe he just decided to watch from the shadows... Catch her in another trap...

This fear captivated her soul and did not allow her to act recklessly. Although, she has already made a mistake, which she deeply regrets ...

But, how could Naruto care about such stupid things as spying on some cowardly girl? However, he did not intend to leave them at large for a long time either. Therefore, with one seal, he began to slowly change the structure of the entire floor...

The next step required a safe place to keep the two slaves.

The elements of Metal and Wood made it possible to reduce time and not resort to the use of strangers.

He certainly got lucky with that. The lyrics finally came in handy...

It didn't take long for the Hokage, after all, he not only possessed a variety of elements suitable for the formation of structures, but also masterfully knew how to use them.

The chakra quickly leaked out, and in just a couple of minutes the third floor of the tower became a solid metal structure.

After that, Naruto proceeded to create rooms, even installing doors and separate cells for prisoners. He was not going to act carelessly - he simply burned everything that was not needed with fire, and then replaced it with metal structures.

He did not care about furniture, only created the necessary items, such as chains, chairs and tables ...
