Thousands of thoughts raced through Chen Yue's mind, while in reality, Uchiha Huo He stood on the wide street, also looking up at the Hokage Tower at the end of the street, and the three Kage statues on top of it.
After pondering for a while, he said to the little boy beside him: "Child, we need to speed up now, keep up!"
With that, he flashed, already appearing ten meters ahead.
Seeing this, Chen Yue dared not be careless, quickly refined chakra and used the Body Flicker Technique, stepping on his own short legs and quickly chasing after him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
The wide street was unobstructed, and the two flew along the road, quickly reaching the Hokage Tower at the end of the street.
From close up, the Hokage Tower, standing at over thirty meters, appeared even more towering and majestic, solemn and dignified. Moreover, when he got closer, he discovered that the Hokage Tower was not only surrounded by a wall, but more importantly, there was also a moat ten meters wide outside the wall.
It seems that the Uchiha clan understood some propriety, but not much.
However, as the administrative center of Konohagakure, the office and residence of the highest leader - the Hokage, this Hokage Tower is absolutely top-notch in terms of grandeur.
However, Uchiha Huo He's destination was obviously not the Hokage Tower. So, he just waited for Chen Yue for a while in front of the Hokage Tower, and when he saw him catch up, he quickly moved to the left.
Continuing to fly, they followed the moat outside the Hokage Tower and came to its back, below the Hokage Rock Mountain.
This was a relatively empty area, with no buildings, obviously there was a concern about falling rocks from the mountain, while a 'zigzag' wooden ladder was built on the rock wall of the Hokage Rock Mountain, leading directly to the top of the mountain.
However, as an important architectural landmark of Konohagakure, and being located behind the Hokage Tower, this area has always been guarded.
This is to prevent ordinary people from climbing the Hokage Rock Mountain, to prevent them from desecrating or damaging the statues of the three Hokages; at the same time, it is also a warning to the area behind the Hokage Tower, belonging to one of the forces protecting the Hokage.
This kind of place, you can't just barge in.
Therefore, Uchiha Huo He stopped in front of the wooden ladder under the rock wall, and Chen Yue, who had not stopped along the way, followed closely behind.
"Well done, kid. Your proficiency in the Body Flicker Technique exceeds my expectations."
The old man looked at the little boy, whose cheeks had turned red from strenuous exercise, and praised him happily.
It seems that after the previous precedent of the Great Fireball Technique, the old man really seemed to have changed a bit.
"Hehe!"
Chen Yue smiled shyly.
Compared to repressive education, encouraging education is definitely better. Besides, he thinks his Body Flicker Technique is indeed mastered quite well.
The Body Flicker Technique, disappearing like a gust of wind, reappearing like a gust of wind, is a basic Ninjutsu that uses chakra to stimulate the leg muscles, making the body active, and thus achieving high-speed movement.
As a D-rank Ninjutsu, it's not difficult to learn, but it's very practical.
Especially in taijutsu battles, combining it with the Body Flicker Technique can play a huge role.
Besides, Chen Yue has long envied his great-grandfather's sudden disappearance and reappearance, in order to be able to have such a cool appearance one day in the future, he practiced the Body Flicker Technique the hardest among the basic Ninjutsu he learned.
Moreover, besides looking cool, Chen Yue believes that the Body Flicker Technique has more potential in battle than other basic Ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique and the Substitution Technique.
In high-level battles between strong individuals, basic Ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique and Substitution Technique have almost no effect, but the Body Flicker Technique is different, without the ability to move in space, the Body Flicker Technique will basically accompany you throughout your life.
To put it in terms of playing games, the Body Flicker Technique skill can be used all the way to the late game, while ordinary skills like the Shadow Clone Technique are just transitional skills in the early game.
"Great-grandfather, are you going to take me to the top of the Hokage Rock Mountain?" Chen Yue asked the old man.
At this moment, Uchiha Huo He's purpose was already very clear.
"Yes."
The old man nodded to confirm the answer, but he didn't explain why he wanted to take him to the top of the mountain, because, an 'uninvited guest' arrived.
Whoosh——
A figure suddenly appeared in front of them and asked: "Are you Uchiha Huo He? Are you here to admire the scenery?"
The newcomer was wearing a mask, carrying a ninja sword on his back, dressed in a neat black ninja outfit, plus a white vest that was different from ordinary ninjas.
"Is it the Root?"
Chen Yue secretly looked at the masked ninja in front of him and guessed his identity.
Although it was quite abstract, he couldn't guess what animal that mask represented, but in Konohagakure, the only ninjas who dressed like this should be the Root.
"You recognized my great-grandfather immediately. Is my great-grandfather too famous in Konohagakure? Or is this the result of the Root secretly monitoring the Uchiha clan?"
Chen Yue wasn't surprised if he recognized them as members of the Uchiha clan.
After all, both his great-grandfather and he were wearing a high-collared fan robe with the Uchiha clan's unique characteristics. It's easy to distinguish through the fan patterns on the clothes.
However, he was able to call out the old man's name immediately, which means this Root ninja knows Uchiha Huo He.
"Well, I'm taking my child to see the world. Is it convenient?" Uchiha Huo He said to the Root ninja.
The old man's tone was very calm, his body, slightly hunched due to age, seemed even more frail, but the Root ninja seemed to feel an invisible pressure surrounding him.
So he immediately stepped aside to make way and said, "No problem, sir, no one is on the statue platform now, you have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery!"
"Thank you!"
Uchiha Huo He nodded slightly, thanking the Root ninja, then took the little boy and stepped onto the wooden ladder, heading towards the top of the Hokage Rock Mountain.
After the two figures gradually disappeared, the Root ninja took a deep breath: "As expected of someone who survived the Warring States period, such a powerful aura, I feel even more pressure than when I report to the Hokage."
After relaxing his tense mood, the Root ninja looked up at the figure that had completely disappeared at this time, and the expression under the mask tightened: "That kid seems to have a close relationship with Uchiha Huo He, and that was the Body Flicker Technique before? I must report this to the Hokage!"
Whether it was a descendant who had a close relationship with Uchiha Huo He or a young child who had already mastered D-rank Ninjutsu, both of these were very important intelligence for the Root.
