Yu Xian's time was limited, and every second in the dungeon had to be used efficiently, so he was in a hurry. However, he still stopped at this moment...

There's something he wants to confirm.

So he turned toward the collapsed building on one side, looking for the source of the sound, and then he came to the two seriously injured and dying ninjas and a child.

"Omori-senpai, is that you?"

One of the seriously injured people appears to be Yuzuru's real-life teammate, Omori Kairi.

The people with her should be her husband and children, but Omori Kairi was her previous name, and her name should have changed now... After seeing the scene in front of her, Yuzuru remembered the names of the three people.

Umino corner, Umino sea, Umino Iruka

If there were no variables in reality, whether it was Akimichi Torifu, Omori Kairi, or Uchiha Hazuki, they all survived until the Nine-Tails' rampage, which proves that they did not die in the Land of Rain mission, but returned safely.

However, with the addition of Yu Xian as a minor variable in reality, can everything still remain the same? Is the future shown in the instance truly a future developed from reality?

"Who are you……"

Omori Kairi barely opened her eyes, but she didn't seem to recognize Yuzuru; her eyes were full of unfamiliarity.

"Senior Omori, I'm Yuzuru, your former teammate, don't you remember me?"

"……teammate?"

It is clear that there is no such person as Yuzuru in Omori Kairi's memories. This confirms that the so-called dungeon is an isolated spacetime and does not interact with events in the real spacetime.

The dungeon should be consistent with the original Naruto world and shouldn't change due to variables added in reality... I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"bring……"

At this moment, Omori Kairi didn't care who Yugen was; she only hoped that Yugen could take her child and leave this place quickly to seek refuge... Although she could no longer speak, she was still asking Yugen for help.

Fortunately, another rescue ninja arrived at this time, which relieved Yugen from the dilemma of whether or not to change his action plan.

A Konoha ninja instantly appeared in front of them, scooped up Iruka Umino, and said to Hagen, "Don't stand there, get out of here!"

Perhaps because he saw the child being rescued, Omori Kairi's face completely lost its luster.

Yu Xuan sighed, then stood up and continued moving towards the Hokage's office building... Well, this was also a form of refuge.

At this time, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was in chaos. The Third Hokage began to lead elite squads to confront the Nine-Tails... However, despite such a disaster, two powerful forces in Hidden Leaf Village remained inactive: one was Danzo Shimura's Root organization, and the other was the Uchiha clan.

Yugen gradually approached the Hokage's office building, but the question now was, even if he knew where Konoha stored ninjutsu and even forbidden techniques, could he successfully enter?

Even in such chaos in Konoha, it's conceivable that those secret locations would still be guarded by ninjas.

Yu Xian could only try to break through with the Body Flicker Technique, or use the Rasengan to ambush the guards... In order to improve his combat power, he had no choice but to take risks in this instance, which was much better than taking risks in the real world.

Outside it was a mess, but inside the Hokage Building it was quiet. When Yu Xuan sneaked in, he immediately felt a sense of unease.

It's too quiet. Is it because of the Nine-Tails attack that no one is left in the Hokage's office building?

It just doesn't seem likely.

Looking at the empty office building, Yu Xian found it hard to believe that she had gotten lucky again.

He was extremely cautious as he walked down the corridor into the office building. He then discovered a staircase leading to the underground. When he reached the corner of the staircase, he finally noticed something unusual... there was the corpse of an ANBU ninja at the corner.

There was no blood or smell of blood. The ninja died "peacefully." Yu Xian examined him briefly and found that his neck had been broken. The method was quite clean. Someone could kill an Anbu as easily as killing a chicken.

"Could it be someone in the same industry?"

As he ventured deeper underground, Yugen discovered several more corpses of ANBU ninjas. When he arrived at the entrance to the Secret Arts Vault, he found the door open.

An eerie light shone through the crack in the door.

Yu Xian paused at the door for a moment. He was in a dilemma. Entering the secret arts vault would likely not end well, but having come this far, he was reluctant to turn back.

The Secret Technique Archive is too important; it's like a "Complete Guide to Konoha Techniques." Even if Yugen doesn't come this time, he'll need to come here sometime in the future, so he at least needs to find out what exactly happened here.

With that thought in mind, he stepped inside.

Not far from the door, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.

A candle burned beside the other person, and various scrolls were spread out around them. As Yu Xian stepped in, a pair of snake-like eyes immediately met her gaze.

Well, the identity of someone who can infiltrate the secret arts vault at a time like this is not hard to guess, or rather, it should be considered as expected.

"Who is it?"

"Um, please continue. I'm just looking for a few Wind Release ninjutsu scrolls."

Yugen glanced at the scrolls Orochimaru had laid out on the ground and felt a little dizzy... He couldn't understand these scrolls at all, let alone study them.

"The Wind Release technique is on the third bookshelf inside."

Thank you.

As Yugen walked into the library, Orochimaru's gaze returned to the scroll in front of him, and then... hmm? Isn't something a little off?

Orochimaru slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Yugen's back... What kind of library encounter is this?

How could two people who came to steal the secret technique actually get along peacefully?

"Never mind, we'll deal with him later."

Orochimaru's time was also very precious, and he didn't want to waste a single second.

"Just a lowly ninja, no need to worry about him too much. I'll just take care of him when he's about to leave the library and passes by me..." Orochimaru thought to himself.

Yu Xian felt the cold gaze behind him, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment before Orochimaru had already shifted his attention.

Yugen didn't even know how he had just communicated with Orochimaru, but since Orochimaru didn't make a move immediately, the result was acceptable.

Following Orochimaru's kind instructions, he arrived at the designated location and indeed found many scrolls of Wind Release ninjutsu, some of which even bore the insignia of the Shimura clan.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave, Vacuum Blade, Wind Slicing Technique..."

Yu Xian pulled out a scroll and quickly began to memorize it, trying to remember as many ninjutsu as he could before the dungeon time ended.

"wrong……"

But as he was memorizing, Yugen suddenly became distracted because he suddenly realized something... Since Orochimaru was here, didn't that mean that Orochimaru wasn't anywhere else?

He quickly pulled up the instance map and searched carefully for a while before finally confirming a place deep underground called "Orochimaru's Secret Laboratory".

Orochimaru's laboratory is also a treasure trove.

However, it's too late to go there now. I should focus on memorizing Wind Release ninjutsu. As for Orochimaru's lab, I can start planning our next operation…

Then, just as Yu Xuan had memorized a few ninjutsu, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of a blade piercing flesh. When he came to his senses, he felt a chill on his chest.

He looked down in disbelief and saw a pale arm pierce his chest from behind.

A cold voice sounded behind him.

"Young man, were you thinking about me just now?"

"..."

He's a complete lunatic.

We're all scholars, you study yours, I study mine, how could you do something like stabbing me in the back?
