Chapter 179: The Man Behind the Scenes and the Black Hand Behind the Scenes
Ninja School.
Sarutobi Hizashi and Akibara Kagura stand on a high place.
The three generations of Hokage and the young Hokage looked at a group of graduated shinobi and also noticed the disappearance of Mizuki, Umino Iruka, and Naruto Uzumaki.
"Are you all set?"
Sarutobi asked Akihara Kagura in a whisper.
"Hmm."
Akihara Kagura nodded and continued: "If nothing else, they should be on their way to steal the Book of Seals, this time I strictly followed the guidance of Hokage-sama, and there will definitely be no mistakes in the process or the result..."
“???”
Ape Fei Ri frowned.
What does it mean that there will be no mistakes!
It seems that there has been an accident now!
According to his own guidance, wasn't it Mizuki who lured Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Book of Seals, and Umino Iruka went to stop Mizuki and Naruto Uzumaki?
Why did Umino Iruka go with her to steal the Book of Seals?
Of course.
If seriously...
In fact, Umino Iruka, Mizuki, and Naruto Uzumaki are not there to steal the Book of Seals, because they don't need to sneak in to steal it, nor do they need to snatch it from people.
Perhaps this kind of behavior should be called taking.
The group went to the home of the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Hichi, and Umino Iruka was still hesitating and didn't know whether to go together, and Mizuki had to obey him with a word.
"It's an order from above."
Mizuki looked at Umino Iruka and looked at him with a smile: "The higher-ups in the village ordered us to take Naruto to learn the multiple shadow clone technique on the Book of Seals, judge Naruto's learning results, and then judge whether Naruto can become a ninja..."
“……”
Iruka Umino's mind was in shambles.
Because of this, he did receive an order, but that technique was a forbidden technique, and it was likely to endanger Naruto Uzumaki's life.
However...
Umino Iruka couldn't refuse.
Along the way, the two of them took Naruto Uzumaki almost unhindered to the house of Sarutobi Hizashi, where a root ninja kept the Book of Seals, and when he saw Umino Iruka and Mizuki arriving together, he took the initiative to give them the Book of Seals.
"Iruka Nakashinobi, have you been ordered to take the Book of Seals? Kagura-sama has already explained, so you can take the book of seals and give it to you. ”
"Yes."
Umino Iruka took the Book of Seals in a daze.
"Then we'll go first."
Mizuki greeted with a smile and left here with Umino Iruka and Naruto Uzumaki: "First take Naruto to find a place to learn the techniques recorded in the Book of Seals..."
Inside a training ground in Konoha Village.
Umino Iruka held the Book of Seals, and was still a little uneasy in his heart: "Isn't it okay to wait first, isn't it safe to let Naruto learn forbidden techniques as a child, after all, the techniques recorded in the Book of Seals are dangerous, aren't we..."
"It's okay, I can do it, Iruka-sensei!"
Naruto Uzumaki helped the goggles on his head, he couldn't wait to learn the techniques on the Book of Seals, and replaced the goggles on his head with a ninja forehead guard.
"Hurry up."
Mizuki took the Book of Seals from Umino Iruka's hand, spread it out on the ground, and said softly, "The Book of Seals is a secret in the village, and it's not easy for us to get it, so I spent a lot of effort to get the Book of Seals..."
“……”
Iruka Umino suddenly felt that something was not right.
However, Naruto Uzumaki still didn't seem to notice, and he was still looking down at the multiple shadow clone technique recorded in the Book of Seals, and said with some melancholy: "The doppelganger technique is not good at it in the first place, how can I learn such a difficult technique..."
"It's okay."
Mizuki patted Naruto Uzumaki's little head and said with a smile: "If you can't learn it, we won't learn it, anyway, you've worked hard..."
"Huh?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Mizuki and asked curiously, "But if you don't learn this technique, you won't be able to graduate..."
"What an innocent and cute little guy!"
Mizuki laughed softly and chuckled, "After today, you will become a sinner in the village, so why worry about whether you will graduate or not?" ”
"Sinners?"
Naruto Uzumaki's face wrinkled, "What do you mean?" ”
"Naruto!"
Umino Iruka dragged Naruto Uzumaki with one hand.
At this moment, Umino Iruka still doesn't know what the situation is with Mizuki, but there is definitely something wrong with Mizuki, and Naruto can't be put in danger!
However, Umino Iruka's movements were blocked, and Mizuki buckled Umino Iruka's wrist, and Umino Iruka was not to be outdone and wanted to fight him!
Mizuki's physical skills became extremely good at some point, and he easily defeated Iruka Umino's resistance and kicked Iruka out with one kick!
"Sinners... It's a sinner..."
Mizuki then looked at Naruto Uzumaki, whose face was full of shock, and the smile on his face gradually became hideous: "Twelve years ago, you also committed the same crime, Naruto Uzumaki..."
"Shut up!"
Umino Iruka rushed towards Mizuki!
However, Mizuki's palm flipped and he raised his hand and threw several shurikens, directly hitting Iruka hard!
"Let's continue the conversation..."
"Twelve years ago, the nine-tailed demon fox in your body created the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha, causing heavy losses to the entire Konoha and killing Iruka's parents..."
Mizuki squatted beside Naruto Uzumaki and said cruel words with a smile: "I've always been curious, what kind of mentality did Iruka have for you, I don't understand why he takes such care of you like this, does he think that the Nine-Tails in your body won't go berserk?" ”
"So..."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Is this why he has been ostracized by the people of the village all along?
Mizuki gently stroked Naruto Uzumaki, whose face was full of stunned and frightened, and continued, "So I'm going to try, use the technique recorded in the Book of Seals to unseal the Nine-Tails in your body, and have another Nine-Tails Rebellion for Iruka to see..."
"Mizuki!"
Umino Iruka's heart also suddenly panicked!
"Actually, it's not easy..."
Mizuki looked at Umino Iruka and said with a smile, "Because the Book of Seals can only be kept by the Hokage, and no other way can get it... Luckily, I got a message. ”
"What's the news?"
Umino Iruka stared at Mizuki deadly.
"Speaking of which, you should know where the news came from."
Mizuki looked at Umino Iruka and then at Naruto Uzumaki, "Remember when you guys attended Hokage's birthday party with Akihara Kagura?" There was a spy sent by Orochimaru-sama at that party, and I got a message from there..."
"It seems that the higher-ups in the village are planning for you to teach Naruto Uzumaki a forbidden technique recorded in the Book of Seals multiple shadow clones after Naruto Uzumaki fails the assessment, this is a chance to get the Book of Seals..."
"We grew up together, I know that your grades are very poor, you can't learn the forbidden technique of the Book of Seals at all, you definitely need to bring out the Book of Seals to teach Naruto, so I tentatively took you and Naruto to try to take the Book of Seals, but I didn't expect the person in charge of guarding it to give it to you..."
“……”
Iruka Umino's heart is like falling into an ice cave.
Even Iruka never expected that this news would be heard by Mizuki, and even Mizuki deceived himself into thinking that Mizuki had received the same order!
Outcome...
Mizuki used him to get the Book of Seals!
This friend, who grew up together, has a deep mind to this extent!
Umino Iruka never thought that Mizuki would be this kind of person!
"Now I have the Book of Seals."
Mizuki spread out his palms, looked at the Book of Seals under his feet, and then looked at Naruto Uzumaki beside him, grinning and revealing a hideous smile: "As long as I learn the technique of the Book of Seals and use the above technique to unlock the Nine-Tails Seal on Naruto's body, I can make Konoha recall the fear of the Nine-Tails Rebellion twelve years ago!" ”
"Why do you want to do it?"
Umino Iruka looked at Mizuki, gritted her teeth and ignored her pain, struggling to pounce: "Why do you want to do this!" You should know the horror of the Nine-Tails..."
"Of course I do."
Mizuki nodded, but kicked Naruto Uzumaki, who was still frightened next to him, and asked rhetorically, "Then why do you care about this little ghost?" You obviously know that he is a nine-tailed demon fox, you also know the horror of the nine-tails, and even saw your parents die in the nine-tailed rebellion twelve years ago, why don't you want to kill him? ”
“……”
Umino Iruka fell silent.
The shinobi teacher saw Naruto Uzumaki's stunned and panicked eyes, and suddenly showed a smile: "Naruto is not a demon fox, Naruto is different, he is an excellent student recognized by me, and the disaster twelve years ago was not his fault in the first place..."
"Naruto has always been an innocent child, that little guy is neither smart nor clever, but he can focus on one thing, he is a very good student, many people recognize him, not only me..."
"Iruka-sensei..."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at his teacher distractedly.
"That's what I hate about you the most."
Mizuki interrupted the communication between the teacher and student in a cold voice, and did not hide his disgust: "Always look like a good teacher, as if you are the most suitable teacher in the entire Konoha at the beginning, when the village canceled my teacher's qualification, but let you enter the ninja school..."
"I..."
Umino Iruka looked at his friend speechless, and said tremblingly, "Mizuki, we are friends, I..."
"Shut up!"
Mizuki interrupted him, and said with disgust on his face: "I became friends with you, just because you are a weak person who can be taken advantage of, but I didn't expect you to rob me of the way I want to go, every time I see your innocent expression, I feel disgusted..."
Mizuki spread out his hands, as if holding them back and forth like claws, "So I want to dispose of you in the most painful way that makes you miserable... I'm going to make you understand your mistakes, and I'm going to let everyone in Konoha know the mistakes they made! ”
"I want you to regret it..."
"I regret your humiliation of me!"
"I'll let everyone know that I'm the most talented ninja in Konoha, and I'm going to let Orochimaru-sama know that I'll help him destroy Konoha!"
"I won't say yes!"
Naruto Uzumaki jumped into the air and smashed his fist into Mizuki: "Iruka-sensei treats you as a friend, how can you treat him like this!" I won't be used by you to destroy the village! ”
"Just a little ghost!"
Mizuki's movements were extremely fast, and almost instantly swept Naruto Uzumaki's arm away, and raised his hand to clasp Naruto Uzumaki's neck: "If it weren't for the need for the Nine-Tails in your little ghost's body, I would have been able to unscrew your head with just a slight movement..."
With that, Mizuki threw Naruto Uzumaki out of the way and sat down nonchalantly next to the Book of Seals, flipping through the Book of Seals for the techniques he wanted.
Mizuki wasn't worried at all that Naruto Uzumaki wanted to escape, and even said coldly: "Little ghost, don't think about running away, no one in the village will notice here, this place is still far from the village, this time you can't escape from the palm of my hand no matter what..."
“……”
Iruka Umino's heart sank to the bottom.
Especially Umino Iruka, a middle ninja, he understands how strong Mizuki is in front of him, neither he nor Naruto Uzumaki are opponents!
Umino Iruka never thought that Mizuki would be so terrifying, not only was his strength far superior to his peers, but he even had scheming that ordinary people were far less than, and he took almost everything into account before carrying out this conspiracy!
If there are no surprises...
Once Mizuki masters the technique of the Book of Seals, he will definitely set off the Nine-Tails Rebellion!
At this time...
Never give up!
The Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha must not be allowed to occur again!
Even if it is at the cost of life!
However, Umino Iruka has a lot of shuriken pierced in his body, and there is no way to stand up at all, and he may even die here at any time, but fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki, an ignorant little guy, still knows that he cares about him, and rushes over to ask his teacher.
"Iruka-sensei, how are you?"
"Naruto..."
Umino Iruka looked at Naruto Uzumaki, then at Mizuki not far away, and finally knew that he had to pin his hopes on the student in front of him: "Remember your ideals?" ”
"Of course!"
"I'm going to be the Hokage!"
"To be the most powerful Hokage!"
Naruto Uzumaki still hasn't forgotten the ideal: "And to become a Hokage who surpasses the Hokage of all generations!" Recognized by all! ”
"So..."
Umino Iruka looked at Naruto Uzumaki and whispered, "Do you have the consciousness to sacrifice your life for this?" Just like the four generations of Hokage in the past, in the Rebellion of the Nine-Tails twelve years ago, you gave your life to save the village, do you have this kind of awareness? ”
"Yes!"
Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth with a resolute face.
"So... It's time..."
Umino Iruka looked at Naruto Uzumaki, her expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Now you must stop Mizuki from learning the technique of unlocking the seal, have you just seen the technique of the multiple shadow clone technique?" That technique is a very strong technique, and it can divide many clones..."
"As long as you can use that technique..."
"I can stop Mizuki from trying to use you to create the Nine-Tails Rebellion..."
"But..."
Naruto Uzumaki hesitated, unable to believe his talent.
Iruka Umino looked at the student in front of him and said in a deep voice, "If you want to do one thing firmly, you have to pay for the consciousness of risking your life and believe that you can do it... Naruto, do you have the consciousness to risk your life to protect Konoha! ”
In addition to learning that technique...
They don't really have a choice!
Naruto Uzumaki's other techniques are not qualified, only the physical fitness test and endurance are good, but in the face of Mizuki in front of him, the opponent can interrupt his escape path with just a few shuriken!
"Yes!"
Naruto Uzumaki gritted his teeth and cocked up his fingers, struggling to recall the multiple shadow clones he had seen.
"Ninja: The Art of Multiple Shadow Clones!"
Maybe it's because this technique is congenitally compatible with him, or maybe it's the determination of this moment, when Naruto Uzumaki raised his finger to let the chakra flow in his body, countless shadow clones appeared next to Naruto Uzumaki!
"Naruto!"
A flash of joy flashed on the seriously injured Umino Iruka's face!
Naruto succeeded...
This means that Mizuki's conspiracy has gone unexpected!
"Huh?"
As if Mizuki had just reacted, he turned around and saw countless Naruto Uzumaki figures standing around, his body trembling involuntarily!
These countless shadow clones gave Naruto Uzumaki a huge amount of confidence, and he believed that so many people would be enough to defeat Mizuki and solve the crisis of the Nine-Tails Rebellion this time!
"Imp..."
"You... Do you think this will solve me? ”
"Then give it a try!"
Countless shadow clones pounced on Mizuki!
With Mizuki knocked to the ground by a group of shadow clones, this crisis that could trigger the Nine-Tails Rebellion doomed its end, or rather the end was predestined before it began.
Outside this training ground.
Sarutobi Hichi, who was quietly hiding next to him, watched this scene, with a pipe in his mouth, and nodded to Akihara Kagura beside him with rare satisfaction: "This time, it's really done a good job, but how did you get Mizuki to agree?" ”
"It's simple."
Akihara Kagura didn't mention the fact that he let Heavenly Dao Shisui use the shadow to manipulate Mizuki, but instead reached out and took out Mizuki's confession: "As long as he agrees to act well, I can consider leaving him a whole corpse, after all, the mistakes he made are enough to enter the torture class..."
"This is..."
Sarutobi looked at the accusation written by Mizuki himself, and he had some expectations in his heart: "It turned out that Mizuki reported that a teammate who died of injuries was killed by him, and at that time I thought that it was no longer suitable to be a teacher regardless of the life and death of my teammates, but I didn't expect him to kill his teammates by such unscrupulous means..."
When Sarutobi lowered his head and continued to look, when he saw the last one colluding with Orochimaru, he sighed faintly: "Orochimaru, this guy, has really become the biggest danger in Konoha..."
"yes..."
Akihara Kagura nodded, and then suddenly said, "However, Jiraiya-sensei thinks that the Danzo master is the most dangerous..."
“……”
Ape Fei Ri Slash was silent and unable to speak.
Whether it's Orochimaru or Shimura Danzo, it's dangerous for Konoha.
"Let's go."
Ape Fei Ri turned around and said, "Go back and rest early, and tomorrow I will discuss the detachment of these graduates and the candidates for the guidance of the upper ninja..."
"What about the Book of Seals?"
Akihara Kagura looked at the Book of Seals and said curiously, "What techniques are written in the Book of Seals, and are there any more powerful techniques?" ”
"Nope."
Sarutobi immediately dispelled Akihara Kagura's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "The Book of Seals is just some forbidden techniques left by the second Hokage-sama, and the power is far less powerful than the wood escape of the first-generation Hokage-sama, so it has no learning value for you..."
The above forbidden jutsu not only has no learning value, but may even lead Akihara Kagura astray, because there are some living people as sacrifices in the technique, and Akihara Kagura is not a person who particularly cares about life.
Sarutobi planned to send the Dark Department to retrieve the Book of Seals as soon as he returned, but he didn't want Akihara Kagura to see the contents of the Book of Seals.
But...
Akihara Kagura won't care either.
Because when arranging the Book of Seals, let your subordinates see the contents of the Book of Seals, and it is enough to ask your subordinates to repeat the names and simple contents of the Seal Book, and there is no need for those learning steps with many numbers and even pictures.
The third update!
Suddenly I found out that Naruto was doing well...
As long as you graduate, there are acquaintances everywhere, the teacher is Kakashi, and the examiner is Azuki...
