With those three successfully eliminated, all that was left was to wait for Satsuki to finish her side and start sealing away any and all research documents they could find, as well as any of the portable machinery.
At the same time that Mikoto had arrived at her location, Satsuki reappeared just behind her own targets, however, they were on the complete opposite side of the room from Mikoto and the other three researchers.
Since her targets were clearly not experienced shinobi and were likely to only have the barest amount of combat and shinobi training, they were unable to sense the chakra buildup from her Shunshin, allowing her to easily sneak up on them.
True to her assassination mission, Satsuki covered the mouth of the female researcher that she had ambushed, preventing the woman from screaming, and plunged the kunai in her hand into the side of the woman's head, silencing her permanently. After a moment or so, Satsuki pulled the kunai out of the woman's skull and swung it to the side to rid the weapon of the excess blood that stained the blade.
Satsuki was by no means emotionless, a professional assassin, nor did she enjoy these search and destroy missions, but the first kill really was the hardest and everything after that was somewhat gray. She was aware that she had ended a fair number of lives in her career as a kunoichi, but they no longer affected her like they once did. Natsuki and Narumi would understand soon as well that taking a life was not as monstrous and inhumane as they believed it to be.
Quickly maneuvering around the large and cluttered desk, while on the run, she pulled back her next target's head by his long hair and deeply slit his throat from ear to ear, causing his to gag and sputtered as the blood flowed down his neck and onto his lab-coat, causing him to slump over.
The final researcher hear his co-workers strange sounds and turned around to tell the man to quiet down and let him work in peace, however, he recoiled in shock at what he found. Just as he was about to let our a scream in horror, he found that he couldn't even utter a single sound. He clawed at his throat with his fingernails as he became unable to breathe, but it was to no avail. The shinobi wire wrapped around his throat was far too tight to ever be able to pry off with his level of physical strength.
Satsuki who was standing in front of his desk, but now behind him, about a dozen feet away, tightened the wire that she held in each of her hands and spread her arms outwards, causing the wire around the man's neck to forcefully tighten inwardly as it began to draw blood. As she continued to slowly tighten the wire, the wire around the man's neck became tighter and tighter until it ultimately decapitated him with one final pull. His head lifelessly fell to the ground as his body slumped over in its chair.
With her targets having been eliminated, that marked one part of her mission as completed. Now all she had to do was collect all of the data, research, and documents from this room and the library, then plant the explosive notes. That and she wanted to take home some of those cool portable machines that the researchers were using, or at least bring back the schematics and data on them and what they did.
Naruto had given them only a single storage scroll, but his were different than standard ones. The seal formula he used to create it was of his own design and was able to hold far more mass than scrolls that could be purchased in stores. Shop owners bought storage scrolls with inferior sealing arrays in order to force shinobi to buy enough to tore away all their necessary equipment. It may have been unethical, but it was business. Though, if you only bought blank scrolls and wrote your own sealing formulas on them, they were far more reliable.
His scroll coupled with the empty storage scrolls that her and her mother brought along would be more than enough to seal away all of the research held within the research facility and the library.
As time was short, Satsuki rid herself of the now bloody shinobi wire and raced across the large room towards her mother. It would be best to work together for the most efficiency.
Third Level Below
The third level below the surface could only be described as hell on earth. The entire prison sector was being consumed by flames as a lone figure serenely walked through the hall amidst all of the screams of agony and the ensuing chaos.
Crimson flames spread from the artificially created stone floors to the ceiling above, leaving not an inch within the prison sector untouched. The bars of the prison cells that sealed of a person's chakra had already melted along with much of the walls, floor, and partially the ceiling. The earth above slowly dripped down to the ground below as it began to liquify. All of the prisoners besides Naruto's primary target had already been melted into nothing more than puddles of blood and innards. This method had been the quickest way of dealing with all unnecessary prisoners who were in his way.
Within Naruto's field of vision was the most secure cell at the end of the prison block. It looked more like a vault in which Kages would store village funds or the most dangerous jutsu and secrets than anything. This only spoke as to how monstrous and uncontrollable the person inside of it was.
There was quite a distance between the first two levels and the last two levels, as it took quite a bit of chakra to Shunshin from the surface to his current location. It was roughly five miles below the surface. Orochimaru probably designed this hideout with the fact that there was a town close by in mind, therefore those on the surface would be unable to hear the screams of the prisoners being experimented on, whether willingly or unwillingly. He also would want his researchers to be as far away as those mindless creatures at all times, other than when they were conducting human experiments. From what Naruto had already witnessed from the appearance of those behind the bars, the experiments conducted daily must have been horrendous and far beyond inhumane. He may have just been doing them a favor by ending their lives when he did.
Naruto didn't extinguish his flames like he usually did after finishing the job, instead he let them burn and eat away at any and all surfaces within the large hall since he would need to destroy this place anyway and it didn't take any extra chakra of natural energy to keep the flames burning.
