Naruto and Luna went to the Kurama clan the very next moment

they probably should have waited for the next day, you say, but the thing is

they can't, because now almost everyone is at the memorial, and as such, this is the perfect chance

"Wait wait, there is someone ahead" Naruto whispered to Luna, he was after all a sensor

With a nid Luna activated her clan kekkei genkai, creating a dome-like illusion around them, barely reaching the person Naruto talked about, using that opportunity to knock him out without too much trouble

"Left turn, right then, twice left, right and at the end of the corridor a secret passage..." Luna muttered as they walked past the hallways of her clan, and albeit it was very dark Naruto could see that it had a very old decorative style

The whole place looked like it was centuries old, but also new at the same time... in resume, completely weird

Naruto would have loved to ask something about the place, but since they were doing a stealth investigation, he kept his questions and sounds in general to a minimum

Arriving at the place where Luna said there was a secret opening, she made a small cut on her finger and touched a weird painting with it

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as he felt weirdly familiar with the complex sealing array that appeared all over the painting

not for nothing, as it was the old Uzumaki clan that did this

Luna pulled Naruto in, as soon as they entered the entrance closed by itself, gotta love the way seals work here, do they make sense? I don't really think so... but they work, that's what matters, no?

"Do you feel anyone ahead?" She whispered and Naruto immediately shook his head

"Phew... it seems they have not used this place for a while..." She remarked, noticing a lot of dust on the secret entrance

"So... what's this place all about?" Naruto asked after double-checking no one was near them

"Uhhh... how do I put it in words?

this place... SUCKS, IT IS THE WORST THING WE EVER WENT THROUGH... is kind of a... therapy? no, that's not really it...

I think the world should be coercive education? I don't really know...

but the thing is, some of the kids of our clan are born with a seed, the seed of a second persona inside them, and that is weirdly connected with the awakening of our kekkei genkai..."

Naruto nodded, the old him wouldn't even know what a kekkei genkai is, but Hiruzen wasn't called professor because he was a good fighter... well, except he was... but you know what I meant... right?

"... It's not that we need this seed to have the kekkei genkai, there have been cases of people without it awakening the kekkei genkai before... but, whoever has the seed, awakens it for sure, and that place was made to study it

they took some blood samples from us, did some small tests and later we were taught how to handle that power"

Albeit Naruto could understand why this was done, he couldn't help but wonder, if that's the sole reason... they wouldn't be here, or are you saying that Luna forgot some test results here and didn't want to ask for it?

Blah, bs!

There must be something more to it, and as such, Naruto waited for her to continue

"Well, except that was not really true... You see, some of the people who worked at this place were my parents, and here is also kind of like a prison, since we got left here for as long as I can remember... we only ever 'left' this place when they put us in some illusions to do some exams on our responses to social interactions"

Naruto had a weird expression on his face right now, he can have had a pretty messed up childhood, but even he can tell this is not normal... not for even a second did he believe there wasn't some evil conspiracy behind this all

As they talked, Luna explained to Naruto a bit about the place, until they finally left the dark tunnel and found a light place, it was lit by some glowing seals, that apparently either stored light or produced it with chakra on the air

but we all know there is no chakra in the air, this place is deserted

this can only mean it is using NATURAL ENERGY!!! but Naruto and Luna know no better, so they just ignored it, albeit Naruto took a glance at the seals on the walls

"This is incredible... to think that such a place is hidden below your clan..." Naruto commented, as he felt the tunnel go down before, it was obvious it was underground

Luna didn't answer as her eyes were glued to a door almost immediately

"Luna?" Naruto asked, and seeing her in a daze, he followed her eyesight to a door, above the said door there was a sign written in the normal language of the Elemental Nations... which I don't know the name of, because it is not Japanese... so yeah... language names...

The sign had 'Room 12: Testing' Written on it

"Testing? testing what?" Naruto asked

"This was the place they used to put us in some genjutsus to train our kekkei genkai, or so they said..." Luna spoke a bit absent-mindedly

"But that is not what we came here for..." She said as she turned her eyes to the door right beside it

It had no numeration, and since the other doors either had a broken sign or the number was worn out, Naruto couldn't tell if it was the room 13 or 11, but that's not important

Besides no numbers being there, there was a glaring thing about this specific door, but I don't know what... maybe the big ARCHIVES written on it? sure, that seems like it

Luna gulped as she slowly opened the door, maybe scared that some monster would jump out of there? with the stories of a cheese monster her father told her, that was not out of her mind, honestly

but, even worst than that was what she found

a terrible, despair-inducing big evil...

cliffhanger...
