Chapter 31: Chapter 30 – Hidden underneath

Gene and Tsukiko left towards the restroom. Tsukiko glanced back and kept her head high. "We are being followed, don't look back." She muttered and Gene felt how the tension inside her rose and she had to fight herself for not looking back. 

They opened the door to the restroom and closed it behind them. "Block the door!" Tsukiko said and Gene, who used her Chakra to absorb the first hit, kept the door closed by pushing against it. Tsukiko stormed into the room and returned a dragging a Chair with her positioning it underneath the handle.

"Gods, I hate being small and weak. Continue blocking the door and call Kakashi. I know how we get into the underground." 

"Okay." She flashed her Chakra  and looked at the door. The Chair wouldn't hold them for long. Kakashi didn't need three seconds to enter the restroom through the window followed by a grim looking Shisui. 

"Oh good, you brought muscles. Shisui help Gene, Kakashi I need you to make a hole into the floor, toilet stall over there." By some kind of miracle, everyone followed Tsukiko's calm and firm orders. Shisui helped Gene block the door and Kakashi punched into the floor like an automaton. 

"Didn't that hurt?" Gene muttered seeing that and Shisui himself also seemed doubting himself. 

Kakashi shook his hand and the two of them stared down into a gigantic hole. "I knew it." Tsukiko said, and again someone hit against the door, making Gene slip on her Geta and fall on the floor. Shisui had to use more force to keep the door closed. "Damn it." Shisui cursed and Gene could almost feel the Chakra he peed into holding against it. 

"Down there hurry!" Tsukiko ordered Kakashi picked her up and jumped. Gene ran with her, to the hole looking at Shisui who was still at the door. 

"Shisui." She called and him and he vanished from his place to her closing the stall's door and jumped into the darkness grabbing her sleeve.

Silently, he landed on the floor next to a loud landing from Gene and looked  angrily at Kakashi. "Damn that are Shinobi, if they didn't have to act like the average civilian we would have stood no chance. I covered the hole in an illusion, but who knows how long it can fool them." He cursed and looked at Gene and Tsukiko. Picking up Gene and placing her in his arms "I told you to be careful, not walk right into the most famous brothel and gambling house, for God's sake. Kakashi what were you thinking!" 

"He did what we planned and everything was under control. Now stop being angry and come, little boy." Tsukiko said and pointed to her left. "This way." 

"How did you know?" Gene asked. "To get down her?" 

"The sound. The Geta they sounded like the floor underneath them was hollow. After you said there was something I simply listened." She said. "I told you to listen, your ears tell you as much as your eyes' people like us just tend to forget that far more often than is good for us." 

Seriously, what kind of profession did Tsukiko have back in our world.

"Where are we?" Shisui said with a fireball in his hand. "I thought I knew Konoha."

"Put that damn thing out!" Tsukiko hissed at him. "I believe we are in a dry part of the Canalization running right under the Brothel." 

Gene looked amazed at how calm and collected Tsukiko was, and how the others followed her orders without objecting. Her eyes adapted slowly to the darkness. The Nanites living in her eyes took up their work, and soon she saw gray pipes everywhere and deeply red earthen walls. "Red, Clay." She muttered and touched it from Shisui's arms out. 

"There is no one here." Kakashi said and looked around. "I didn't even know Konoha had a place like this."

"How old is Konoha?" Gene asked and Shisui shrug his shoulders. "Two, Three hundred years, but people were living here long before it was called Konoha." 

"Then this is maybe from before that. The pipes are rusty and in some parts broken." Gene said, and the others hummed in agreement.

The longer they walked along the pathway, the deeper down it went. How long they walked in the darkness Gene didn't know, at some point she lost her feeling for time. 

"There is something ahead." Kakashi said Shisui stopped as well. 

"Indeed. Tsukiko, Gene we take you piggyback, we need our hands free and you as safe as possible." Shisui put her down and she climbed up his back. "Hold on tight." He said and started running, closely followed by Kakashi who carried Tsukiko. The speed they ran at made Gene almost dizzy before they stopped again and looked into a big empty space. Looking over Shisui's shoulder she looked down. 

"A training court?" Kakashi muttered opposite to them while Tsukiko fought to look over Kakashi's shoulder. 

Gene looked onto the training circle. There was a good view from their spot above and while they looked down and Shisui hissed sharply as a man with bandages over his body came into view one of his arms in a cask like thing she couldn't make out. 

"Who is this guy?" Tsukiko and Gene asked at the same time. 

"One of our elders." Shisui said. "He was the one who summoned me by asking Itachi." 

"Your cousin?" Kakashi asked and Shiusi nodded. "He also approached me once, one time shortly after I was out of the academy and one time shortly after...you know what." 

Gene felt that the Atmosphere suddenly turned strange around them. The elder had a few men with him that made Gene shiver. "Living puppets." muttered Tsukiko looking disgusted. 

"Living puppets?" Gene asked.
