Chapter 67
However... the confidential files to be stolen are not actually inside the Hokage Building.
Because according to investigations, the files processed by the Hokage every day are transported by a dedicated person and sent to the row of buildings at the end of this street.
Its name is... "File Warehouse."
"Move!"
As Juzo suddenly attacked.
The broken blade in his arms stabbed at the guard by the door.
The first guard was resolved, his face full of disbelief.
"Hah... hah..."
The broken blade absorbed the blood and began to grow within him.
Visibly, a longer section of the blade emerged from his back.
The other guard finally reacted, but his opponent was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
He was cleanly dealt with in just one exchange.
Biwa Juzo, bathed in blood, stood on the spot, holding the kubikiribōchō, which was gradually being repaired.
The six Hidden Mist elite Ninja hidden in the shadows, as well as the reinforcements disguised as attendees, immediately sprang into action.
"Hidden Mist Technique!"
The Hidden Mist Technique, collectively cast, immediately covered the area where the Hokage Building was located.
In an instant, this area was plunged into a state where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
"What's wrong?!"
"What's happening?!"
Chaos ensued, with sounds of fighting and screams constantly echoing.
The Hidden Mist Ninja who had infiltrated the File Warehouse immediately began to seize files.
Before long, the Hidden Mist Ninja, carrying scrolls, fled.
Nara Shikaku and others, who had rushed over, watched this scene with solemn expressions.
"Immediately contact the Anbu, and also... call Morino Ibiki!"
"Yes!"
After giving the order, Nara Shikaku gazed at his opponent standing in the mist.
When the figure holding the kubikiribōchōappeared, Nara Shikaku finally recognized the renowned Ninja of the past.
"Biwa... Juzo!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Nara Shikakuimmediately formed hand signs.
The shadow beneath his feet began to lengthen, then connected with Biwa Juzo's shadow.
"Got him!" his companions cheered.
"Hehe, too bad..."
My target isn't you guys, otherwise, I could really have some fun with you today.
The expression Juzo revealed made Nara Shikakufeel bewildered.
The next second, Juzo splashed into a puddle of water, scattering on the spot.
"It's a Water Clone?!"
"According to common sense, a Water Clone can only be used nearby, his main body must be in the vicinity..."
Common sense dictates that.
But Biwa Juzo isn't an ordinary Hidden Mist Ninja, he's one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist... Shikaku thought... In a corner on the outskirts of Konoha.
Juzo's main body, which had long since left the File Warehouse, did not leave with the other Hidden Mist Ninja.
The one in the team was just a Shadow Clone.
Because he was also burdened with another confidential mission, which was the true objective of this operation.
Kidnapping Uchiha Fugaku's daughter.
"Tell me, White Zetsu, where is that brat now?"
Juzo asked the white-faced fellow in front of him.
"Hehe... she's currently in Konoha's back mountains, with a very powerful brat..." White Zetsu answered Juzo's question with a chuckle.
A very powerful brat?
How powerful could he be?
"Take me there quickly..." Juzo hoisted his greatsword onto his shoulder and swiftly followed the leading White Zetsu.
Chapter 9. Sako: Uzumaki Naruto has a screw loose.
Konoha's back mountains.
Sako took out the items sealed in the Sealing Scroll.
Storage Sealing is a very simple Sealing Techniquethat can seal items like shuriken, Kunai... and even rocks and water.
At this moment, Sako took out two bows and two quivers.
She handed the bow and arrow to Naruto.
Naruto took the bow and began to examine it.
After seeing her brother's performance in the Chunin Exams, Sako felt a surge of excitement and naturally developed the idea of wanting to show off her skills as well.
As a member of the elite Uchiha Clan, it's perfectly normal to mentor a beginner like Uzumaki Naruto!
"Do you know how to use it?"
Sako shouldered her bow and arrow and looked at Naruto.
Two months ago... she and her brother hunted wild boars together, during which she not only mastered the use of a bow and arrow, but also teamwork and wilderness survival.
In her opinion, Naruto, who was pampered to a certain extent, was like a hothouse flower. Uzumaki Naruto could live peacefully in places with people, but once in the wilderness, she was the expert.
"..."
Naruto fiddled with the bow and arrow, his unprofessional manner causing Sako to let out a soft snicker.
"Uzumaki Naruto, watch closely..."
Sako drew her bow, and shot an arrow, all in one smooth motion. The arrow flew out of her hand and struck a distant tree with a thud.
With the added boost of the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, Sako's archery skills were an art, something other clans simply couldn't learn.
"Next, you practice for a bit."
Sako gestured, indicating that she would teach Naruto how to shoot an arrow hand-on-hand.
Once he was somewhat proficient, she would take Naruto deep into the back mountains to hunt a wild boar.
It just so happened that her brother had taken first place in all three rounds of the Chunin Exams.
Then they could take it home as a congratulatory gift... Next to the Konoha Hokage Building.
File Warehouse.
Nara Shikaku, standing by the warehouse, watched the Anbu cleaning up the guards' bodies.
This street was currently cordoned off.
Today was the day the feudal lords from various countries arrived, and Konoha's predicament absolutely could not be seen.
Nara Shikaku's first reaction was to maintain stability, and his second was to minimize the impact, ideally so that no one would know what had happened here.
"Lord Shikaku..."
A burly man with a blue cloth covering his head and a scarred face walked over.
He was actually only a few years older than Yūgao Uzuki.
At a young age, he was already the head of Konoha's Torture and Interrogation Unit.
He had once fallen into enemy hands, endured inhumane torture, and preserved Konoha's secrets.
Because of this, he also earned the Village's trust and promotion.
"Ibiki."
Nara Shikaku called out his name.
Morino Ibiki nodded slightly, watching the Anbucoming and going.
As the head of the Torture and Interrogation Unit, he was not only responsible for interrogating prisoners but also had the authority to command the Anbu.
After all, interrogating intelligence and Anbu duties are two absolutely linked matters.
After preliminary investigation, the enemy had stolen many of the Village's secrets and were currently fleeing.
Putting aside the ill intentions of those Hidden Mist Ninja who came for the Chunin Exams, since the deed was done, the immediate concern was how to make amends.
And his responsibility was to lead the Anbu to pursue those Hidden Mist Ninja.
"Among the enemies, Biwa Juzo was present... he just covered their retreat..."
Nara Shikaku's tone was very heavy.
Biwa Juzo was a "former" member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Towards the end of the Third Ninja World War, he left Hidden Mist, but now, for some unknown reason, he was acting with his former comrades again.
And according to the official documents signed by Yagura, it was clearly not an impersonation.
"That guy's strength is very strong, not someone an ordinary Ninja can catch..."
Biwa Juzo had been famous for a long time, and now that he had reappeared, he had caused such a big incident.
His strength should absolutely not be underestimated.
"To pursue him, at least Kakashi and you must accompany him..."
Anbu Squad Six is the most elite squad among all Anbu squads.
Kakashi is also the captain of Anbu Squad Six, and their members include skilled individuals like "Wood Release's Tenzo."
Nara Shikaku's arrangement was clearly without problems.
"I understand..."
Ibiki nodded vigorously, aware of the danger level of this mission.
Regardless of the reason Biwa Juzo rejoined the Hidden Mist's ranks, by capturing him or his accomplices, they would naturally learn everything.
Because no one could withstand his interrogation.
"Everyone, please follow me!"
The branch family Ninja of the Hyuga Clan were using their Byakugan to track the escape route of Juzo and the others.
As long as they didn't open up a distance of more than 10 kilometers, they would be relentlessly pursued by their side... Deep in Konoha's back mountains.
"Shh~, Uzumaki Naruto, look what we found? There's a lone wild boar here, we can try to catch it... A wild boar can provide us with energy for several days, it's rich in protein, but wild boars are not easy to deal with. We'll slowly approach it from behind... Be careful not to make any sound..."
Sako was crouched down, holding her bow and arrow, approaching the wild boar.
