Chapter 29: Scroll of Seals
Waking up and looking around, I prepared to leave. The thick branch of a giant tree was not the most comfortable bed. Every time I woke up, I thought about that comfortable past life. Coffee maker machine, soft bed, air conditioning, quiet days.
But throwing aside nostalgia, I went to the river to wash.
After breakfast, I ran through the trees towards the next goal. Having immersed my hands in blood up to my elbows and having learned how wide the world is, I have not come close to my dream of full-fledged immortality.
There was Jashin's option, but considering that I will still grow old, and even make sacrifices to someone, I was minimally happy. There were other ways, but no less pleasant. As a starting point, I wanted too much to get the leaf village scroll. While trying to get hold of forbidden techniques from other villages, I realized how difficult it is. Having come this far, I got none. They either guard them with too many suicidal traps or hide them so that even the Kage doesn't know where he is.
However, Naruto and Sasuke are soon finishing school in Leaf Village. Which means Naruto will fail and steal the scroll. Seeing how the scrolls were guarded at the cost of their lives by hundreds of shinobi, I strongly doubted how it happened that Naruto, who could not even walk on water, was able to do what many could not.
Having dispersed across the lake, I grabbed the mask with my hand. Eyes have been hurting since last night. Having activated the Sharingan in the morning, I did not see any problems. But already moving on to the next part ... I could not.
Eyes hurt too much. Without the ability to find the answer to what was wrong with my eyes, I decided to follow the plan. From now on, I don't rely much on my eyes. More on strategy, strength and speed. If things get really bad, I'll just replant new ones.
Having reached the borders of the country of fire, I noticed a guard post and, hiding, walked around the radius of the sensors.
After 4 hours, I finally got to the familiar forests and, moving neatly, reached the border of the village. Around an ordinary-looking wall, I saw the pulsation of the chakra with the Sharingan. Like waves in the air, they slowly parted and faded. Having chosen the right angle and the moment when there would be no waves, I slipped through the hole unnoticed. Having slipped through the barrier, I chose an inconspicuous place near the Academy and hid my presence.
After half an hour, the lessons ended, and the children ran out of the Academy, shouting and making a lot of noise. Sasuke also came out, I saw how he calmly walked home with a mask on his face of indifference. His clothes were different from those in the canon. Now with a leaf bandage on his forehead, a blue T-shirt with the crest of the clan on the back and black pants, he walked slowly. Finally all the children dispersed and Naruto came out. Looking at him, I saw how much pain he was in. Not looking around, he walked towards the park slowly. All the way I followed him in the shadows.
Naruto reached a park where there was no one and climbed a tree and sat hiding in the foliage. Putting his hands around his knees, he began to cry softly. After sitting until the evening watching Naruto, sitting there and crying, I even thought to teach him and show the path of power, and not the path of the ninja. Destroy his faith in the village. But i didn't do it. I am not a messiah helping everyone.
Finally, he got down from the tree and went somewhere. Suddenly, a white-haired leaf ninja flew up to him. I immediately recognized him and waited, grinning. It took a lot of time and Naruto and finally ran for the scroll. Having run away from the tower with him, he disappeared without looking back, I opened my mouth. There was no one in the tower at all. What Mizuki did so that no one was there remains a question. Seeing not a small scroll of seals my eyes lit up. Literally in red. After two years of hunting for anything other than killing techniques and useless techniques, I couldn't hold back my joy. Following him, I felt a chakra forming over Naruto. It was not noticeable, but I immediately realized that it was the Hokage with his ball. Naruto chose a tree in the midst of the trees and, choosing a place under the roots, sat down and opened the scroll, reading hard. After checking the surroundings, I realized that no one was around.
Waiting until the fight with Mizuki finally began, I suddenly realized that no one would come to Naruto. Mizuki had already started calling Naruto a fox, but no one with pineapple hair came to his aid. Frowning, I watched as Mizuki threw two large shurikens and stabbed Naruto's arm and leg while enjoying his screams. He pulled out a kunai and began to approach Naruto. Not understanding what was happening and why the Hokage was not saving him, I turned my chakra. Somewhere far away, I sensed a man approaching. But after calculating his speed, given the speed of a suitable Mizuki, I realized that he would not make it in time. Pulling out the katana, straining my legs, I flashed and was behind Mizuki. He sensed the wind and turned around immediately attacking. Stepping to the right, dodging his attack, I slowly raised the katana, and squeezing the handle, lowered it smoothly down. This is what I saw with the Sharingan, but Mizuki saw only gray light and red blood from the hand that was cut off completely. Turning around, he ran in fear.
Turning to Naruto, I walked over to him brushing and removing the weapon. Naruto, seeing the severed hand and with his wounds clenched his teeth in pain, with his not-wounded hand, tightly squeezed the scroll of the seal. Having pulled out the scroll from him, I felt that there was little time to leave, since 6 fast objects, probably ANBU, had invaded the forest.
"Naruto, you are weak. For all the time you spent fooling around you could train your body and your mind. If you continue this way, the village will get rid of you as a weak link. " - I said goodbye.
Naruto upon hearing the words fell unconscious from pain and wounds. With a scroll on my back, I folded the intricate seal and poured a lot of chakra into the technique and hit the ground with my palms. Black seals filled the clearing and quickly began to flock to me, enveloping me. With a loud pouf, a giant stone appeared in the clearing instead of me.
I returned to the mountain to the eagles. Throwing off the scroll, I fell to the floor to rest. The technique was incredibly strenuous with the number of seals. I found her in the village of stone. Nobody could use it because it needs a strong belonging to the element of yin. But if used correctly, it is incredibly powerful. An eagle with huge white eyebrows and black feathers flew up to the cave, feeling a surge of chakra and seeing that it was I nodded to me and flew back.
After resting, I took off my disguise and walked into a corner in my simple clothes. After creating a clone, I gave him a scroll. The clone entered a special cave for experiments and closed the beast behind him. A minute later, the clone dispelled, indicating that there was nothing dangerous in the scroll except for one problem.
The scroll was fake.
The only thing on the scroll was the multiple shadow cloning technique.
It was framed in red and above each movement, there were notes explaining exactly how and what to where. Having memorized everything with the sharingan, I closed the scroll and, having checked again for traps, threw it into the corner.
Frowning, I left the cave and went to dinner. Who would have thought that the Hokage would deliberately let them steal the scroll out of pity for Naruto? An idea was born in the brain, but does this scroll exist at all?
Pov Hiruzen
Finally, the ANBU was informed that Mizuki had begun to act. According to his plan, after instructing the workers, I left the tower, taking everyone and leaving the Scroll of Seals. However fake, but for Naruto's sake, I created another one with only one technique that suits him. After years of torment, he needs something to keep on his feet. Considering that we will assign him to the team with Sasuke, he should not celebrate himself as weak compared to this boy who trained by breaking his body. Oh, how many times did he run to the hospital ...
After activating the ball, I saw Naruto begin to read and repeat simple seals to himself. Smiling, I waited for him to finish and go to meet the traitor.
I'm sure Naruto will be safe. Considering that Iruka himself reported on the spy, or the traitor is not yet clear, he will arrive soon.
Seeing him start calling Naruto a monster and a fox, I frowned. But when he began to pierce the limbs, I sent ANBU unable to bear it. With a pain in my heart, I watched as he raised the kunai and walked towards Naruto with understandable intentions revealing the secret of the village. Suddenly, behind Mizuki, a shadow in a mask and hood with cat ears appeared and cut off his arm. Sweating, I jumped in the direction of the forest right from the window remembering the bingo book.
The wind howled in my ears, when I launched a lightning, burning my nerves, rushed beyond my limits, hoping to make it. Summoning the staff right in flight, without speaking to him, I ran on a short path along the rooftops. This assassin was only A-rank due to lack of shown strength, but he was worth fearing. For only those who are theoretically stronger than rank A receive +.
His 100% success in assassination attempts also frightened me. I could only hope his target was the scroll, not Naruto. Even when flying over buildings at high speed, I knew that I would not be in time.
Rushing with the ANBU, I saw only a stone in the clearing and a wounded Naruto lying. With a sigh of relief, I realized that the killer had only come for the scroll.
"Take him to the hospital and protect." - having given instructions to the ANBU, I went towards the second group that was coming to me with the thief.
It's time to have a heart-to-heart talk.
