"Gaara!"
Kankuro rushed forward to support the injured Gaara.
While Temari swung her iron fan and unleashed Wind Release, creating a violent gale that swept Gaara's sand into a massive sand tornado.
Under the cover of the swirling sandstorm and the chaos spreading through Konaha, Temari and Kankuro quickly fled the village with Gaara.
Uchiha Sasuke immediately chased after them, followed by Naruto and the others who had awakened from the gengutsu.
"Guy, have you noticed someone is missing?" Kakashi Hatake asked after kicking away an Otogakure ninja.
By now, Orochimaru's Konaha Crush operation had fully begun, and fighting had broken out across the entire village.
"Sora!" Might Guy replied as he quickly scanned the battlefield, yet he could not find him anywhere.
"It's time."
Hidden in the shadows, Sora watched as the Third Hokage and Orochimaru clashed fiercely on top of the building while Konaha descended into complete chaos.
It was the perfect moment to fish in troubled waters.
Moreover, most of his chakra had already recovered. The advantages of his powerful blood qi and strong physique were now clearly showing.
After exchanging a brief signal with Tsunade, Sora quietly slipped away and headed straight toward the Hokage Building.
There was something there that he wanted.
The Scroll of Seals.
It was one of the things he remembered most clearly. He had once asked Tsunade about the techniques recorded inside it.
Her answer had surprised him.
Many of the techniques recorded there were things even Tsunade herself did not know.
Forbidden jutsu such as Edo Tensei were preserved inside the scroll.
Normally, only successive Hokage or individuals who had performed extraordinary services for the village were permitted to view it.
Even Danzo of Root was not qualified to access it.
Naruto's ability to obtain the Scroll of Seals so easily in the past was likely due to the Third Hokage's guilt toward him.
After all, Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage.
Otherwise, how could someone who was not even a genin obtain something that even Kage-level experts like Orochimaru struggled to acquire?
The scroll recorded the secret techniques of past Hokage.
Who in the ninja world would not want such a treasure?
Yet despite countless attempts over the years, it had remained safely inside Konaha.
That alone demonstrated how difficult it was to obtain.
First of all, the scroll was heavily guarded.
It was already extremely difficult for foreign ninjas to infiltrate Konaha, let alone reach the location where the Scroll of Seals was stored.
Furthermore, the scroll's location was not fixed. Most of the time it remained in the Hokage's office.
Trying to seize it directly from the Hokage was nearly impossible.
For many years, Naruto had been the only person to take the Scroll of Seals.
And he had done it as someone who was not even officially a genin.
The truth was obvious.
The Third Hokage had deliberately allowed it to happen.
Under normal circumstances, Sora would never dare to target something like this.
But now Konaha was in complete turmoil.
The village's forces were scattered across many battlefields, resisting invasions throughout the area.
This was his only chance.
If heaven offered such an opportunity and he failed to take it, he would regret it forever.
"As expected," Sora murmured as he approached the Hokage Building.
"Naruto being able to take the Scroll of Seals was clearly intentional."
Even now, during a full-scale invasion, there were still ANBU guarding the location.
During normal times, the protection must have been even tighter.
Sora's perception of blood qi quickly allowed him to locate the hidden ANBU.
For him, stealth techniques were meaningless.
Someone could conceal their chakra or alter their appearance, but blood qi could not be hidden.
Unless someone could suppress their entire presence completely.
Even Orochimaru could not achieve that.
Let alone ordinary ANBU.
Sora moved forward silently, spotting the ANBU hidden on the rooftop.
His body flashed.
A cold glint appeared.
The blade pierced directly through the ANBU's skull.
The ninja died instantly without even a chance to groan.
However, his death immediately alerted the four nearby ANBU.
Without hesitation, they launched their attacks.
"Darkness Jutsu."
Sora spoke softly.
Instantly, the ANBU lost their vision.
In the moment of confusion caused by the sudden darkness, Sora extended his hands and said, "Soul Devouring Hand."
The two ANBU closest to him were immediately dragged forward by an irresistible suction force.
Their blood and chakra were violently extracted from their bodies, compressed into Sora's palm, and then detonated with a loud explosion.
The resulting shockwave sent their bodies flying.
Flesh and blood splattered across the ground.
At the same time, the remaining two ANBU quickly adapted to the loss of sight.
After all, they had undergone brutal training.
Even without vision, they were not helpless prey.
"Dance of the Crescent Moon!"
Despite being blind, the two ANBU accurately sensed Sora's position and executed Konaha-style swordsmanship simultaneously.
This technique had originally been created by the Second Hokage.
Although these ANBU were far weaker than its creator, their coordinated attack sealed every possible escape path.
"Blood Qi Burst."
A pillar of crimson light erupted around Sora.
The ANBU blades struck the blood-colored barrier.
Instantly their arms split open from the recoil, and their ninja swords shattered into fragments.
Before they could react, a powerful suction force dragged them toward the pillar of blood qi.
Their bodies slammed into the barrier and were crushed instantly.
"I can't delay any longer," Sora muttered.
This was the Hokage Building.
Too many secrets were hidden here.
With five ANBU already dead, reinforcements would arrive soon.
Without wasting another second, Sora rushed into the Hokage's office at full speed.
Ever since Naruto had once stolen the Scroll of Seals due to the Third Hokage's deliberate negligence, the scroll's storage location had been changed.
It was no longer kept in its original place.
Now it was stored directly in the Hokage's office.
However, through careful investigation with Tsunade, Sora had discovered something interesting.
An identical scroll still remained in the original hidden storage house.
Clearly, one of them was a decoy meant to mislead intruders.
Based on their investigation, the scroll hidden in the wooden storage house was likely the fake.
The real Scroll of Seals was kept inside the Hokage office within the Hokage Building.
"This must be it."
Sora quickly entered the office and created several shadow clones to search the room.
Within moments, they found the scroll.
Opening it, the very first technique recorded inside was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Without hesitation, Sora formed hand seals and pressed his palm onto the Scroll of Seals.
At the same time, he pulled out another scroll of nearly identical size from his back.
