I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

brush!

Just as Naraku had finished wiping the blood off his hands, a figure flashed to the side.

The newcomer was also a shadow clone of Naraku's true energy.

"Have those secret agents outside been dealt with?"

"Of course, I also took the opportunity to dispose of the body to prevent it from being discovered too quickly."

The brief conversation had already demonstrated the purpose of this true qi shadow clone.

Chapter 84 The Book of Sealing

Once again dispelling his True Qi Shadow Clone, Naraku walked to a window not far away and cast his gaze toward the Hokage Building in the distance.

The assassination is over; now it's time to bring some local specialties as travel expenses.

brush!

Activating the "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique, Naraku departed silently, just as he had done when he came.

The target was not Danzo, the last of the Four Heavenly Kings of Konoha, but the Book of Seals kept in the Hokage Building.

The reason Naraku didn't assassinate Danzo wasn't because he was thinking of his old superior, but because he knew Danzo too well.

This person, if alive, would cause far more damage to Konoha than if dead.

Especially now that Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two are no longer holding him back, Naraku himself is very much looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise Danzo can bring him.

of course.

If Danzo performs poorly, at most he will give him a heartfelt speech later.

The goal is the Book of Seals.

This is naturally to make up for the lack of sealing techniques and other inheritances within the root organization.

The Hokage Building is the center of power in Konoha.

Even at night, the Hokage Building is heavily guarded inside and out.

However, thanks to his experience with the Root organization, Naraku was very familiar with the layout of the Hokage Building and knew the location of the Scroll of Seals.

When Naraku arrived near the Hokage Building using the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique, he concealed his figure in the shadows and immediately used his divine sense to perceive the underground of the Hokage Building.

The Hokage Building is much larger than it appears.

Because there is a base hidden underground.

This base is a secret service base belonging to the Dark Division.

The Book of Seals is kept in the Dark Guard base and is guarded by two Dark Guard squads 24 hours a day.

brush!

After sensing the area for a while, Naraku once again used "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" to easily pass through the barrier set up by the Dark Side base and sneak into it.

"Mr. Minister!"

At the entrance to a secret vault within the Dark Guard base, two members of the Dark Guard squad, upon seeing two figures approaching, immediately saluted one of them.

The two figures were a man and a woman, both in their early twenties.

However, judging from the way the two members of the Dark Guard greeted him and addressed him, it was clear that the man among them was no ordinary person; he was actually the head of the Dark Guard.

"Open the door, I need to go in and examine the Book of Seals." Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded in response, then immediately gave the order to the guards.

"Yes!"

If it were anyone else, given the importance of the Book of Seals, they would naturally not allow them to come into contact with it casually. But this is the department head, and moreover, the eldest son of the Hokage, so the Anbu members naturally obey.

The two captains of the Dark Guard turned around, facing the entrance to the secret vault, and formed complex hand seals.

Crunch!

A moment later, when the hand seals were completed, the chakra of the two ANBU squad leaders was injected into the secret vault door, causing it to slowly open inward.

After casually instructing his subordinates to continue guarding the place, Sarutobi Shinnosuke led the female ANBU who had come with him into the secret vault.

The secret vault wasn't large, about the size of a normal room.

Meanwhile, in the center of the secret vault, there is a stone platform upon which sits a huge scroll sealed by a cone-shaped barrier.

This scroll is the Book of Seals.

"Shin-nosuke, are you really confident you can learn the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'? It's a space-time ninjutsu, and it's said to be extremely difficult to learn." The female ANBU member subconsciously asked Sarutobi Shin-nosuke after seeing the Scroll of Seals.

As Sarutobi Shinnosuke formed hand seals to open the barrier protecting the Book of Seals, he casually remarked, "There's no harm in trying. You saw my match with Minato Namikaze not long ago. After he learned the 'Flying Thunder God Technique,' his strength improved by leaps and bounds. If I could learn it too, I would definitely be able to secure my position as captain even more firmly."

As he finished speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's tone unconsciously became much more forceful.

“Sachiko, you should know that I don’t want people to think that I became the head of the Anbu because of my father.” Turning his head, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said to his girlfriend with a serious expression.

“People who think that way are just jealous of you. You don’t need to care about them.” Sachiko understood her boyfriend’s thoughts and immediately offered her support.

Seeing his girlfriend's attitude, Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt relieved, realizing that he hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Once again, they confronted the barrier. After a series of complex hand seals, the cone-shaped barrier slowly dissipated, revealing the sealed book within.

However, Sarutobi Shinnosuke did not immediately reach out to take it; instead, he formed hand seals again.

The protective measures for the Book of Seals are very thorough.

The secret vault is guarded by secret agents outside, protected by a barrier inside, and even the Book of Seals has a hidden seal.

If anyone touches the Book of Seals without breaking the seal, the Book of Seals will be automatically destroyed.

"untie!"

Having completed the hand seals, Sarutobi Shinnosuke conjured a swastika-shaped pattern in his palm and pressed it against the Book of Seals.

The next second, the sealed book that came into contact with the swastika pattern showed dense magical runes, which then immediately contracted together and transformed into the Sarutobi clan's emblem.

"All right!"

Seeing that the seal on the Book of Seals had been successfully broken, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was relieved and prepared to take the Book of Seals off the stone platform.

brush!

A flash before my eyes.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's hand, which was reaching for the Book of Sealing, missed its target. Instead, another figure appeared opposite him, still holding the Book of Sealing.

Eyes wide open.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sachiko's expressions changed drastically. Sarutobi Shinnosuke hurriedly tried to snatch the Book of Sealing, while Sachiko opened her mouth as if to shout.

puff! !

His figure flashed into view.

With blood splattering, the two heads spun and flew off the body almost simultaneously.

"who!!"

"minister?!"

"Enemy attack!!"

"."

From the theft of the Book of Seals to the decapitation of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sachiko, it all happened in a very short instant.

When the unusual commotion inside the secret vault was noticed by the ANBU members guarding outside, they hurriedly turned around and saw Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sachiko lying on the ground, their heads severed, and Naraku casually flicking the blood off his hands.

Such a sight caused the faces of the secret agents beneath their masks to reveal expressions of horror.

The next second, some of the ANBU members shouted to pass on the message, while others attacked Naraku in shock and anger.

thunderbolt!!!

His right hand, still stained with a little blood, reached out towards the attacking members of the Dark Guard. In an instant, a violent surge of lightning swept out like a tidal wave.

"what!!!"

Whether it was the dark forces rushing into the secret vault or the dark forces shouting, they were all instantly swallowed up by the raging lightning.

The piercing screams rose and fell in an instant.

The eight members of the secret guards who were protecting the vault were all electrocuted and charred black, quickly losing their lives and collapsing to the ground.

Glancing at Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Sachiko, whom he had killed with a hand chop, Naraku casually slung the Book of Seals he was holding in his left hand over his shoulder, activated "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch," and immediately left.

Chapter 85 The Chaotic Leaf Village

The appearance of Sarutobi Shinnosuke was an accident.

However, Naraku had already killed Hiruzen Sarutobi, so taking out his son was naturally a piece of cake.

Not long after Naraku left, the other ANBU members in the base quickly arrived at the location of the secret vault upon hearing the commotion.

The ANBU were already shocked when they saw their comrades dead outside the secret vault, but they were even more horrified when they discovered that Sarutobi Shinnosuke had died inside the vault.

"Quickly, issue an order to seal off the entire village immediately. We must not let the murderer who killed the minister escape."
