Mizuki looked at the "Sealed Book" that was thrown on the ground, and his whole mind was in confusion.
"Itachi Uchiha saw that I was practicing hard and sent me the [Book of Sealing]?"
No matter how you look at it, is it really possible for this kind of thing to happen?
Shuimu picked up the sealed book, opened it casually and took a look, his heart instantly became cold.
There are actually various ninjutsu that are listed as forbidden by the village!
Not only did he not feel lucky, but his mood completely hit rock bottom.
"Swish, swish, swish" was the sound of the ANBU ninja coming.
The ANBU leader thought he would find nothing when searching Mizuki's home. But he never expected it!
After seizing the Sealed Book, Mizuki not only did not defect from Konoha, but instead stayed at home and even watched the Sealed Book in public!
"Kakashi-sama is here!"
"The Third Generation is here too!"
Amidst the voices of all the ninjas, Kakashi and the Sandaime Hokage arrived at Mizuki's house one after another.
"Mizuki, why did you betray the village?!" The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, did not wear the usual god robe, but put on a ninja vest for combat.
Seeing the Third Generation Master mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this, Mizuki also knew that he was in for a big deal today.
He hurriedly defended: "Sandaime-sama, all this has nothing to do with me! I practiced well at home today, but... Uchiha Itachi suddenly rushed in, and then threw this sealed book here!"
"Everything I said is true and I never deceived you!"
Mizuki's explanation is still useful. At least many ANBU ninjas agree with it.
"That's right, Mizuki is just a Chuunin. How could he steal the Sealed Book under our guard?"
"Uchiha Itachi! That sinner who betrayed the village, has he returned to Konoha?"
"I heard Orochimaru's name in the Hokage Building. Could it be that Orochimaru is back?"
Speculations like this are endless.
"Where did the Uchiha Itachi you mentioned go?" the Sandaime Hokage asked.
Even though he knew in his heart that there was something wrong with the so-called "Uchiha Itachi", the third generation could only hold back for the time being.
Mizuki didn't dare to neglect and immediately pointed out the direction Uchiha Itachi left.
"Kakashi, just stay here." After the third generation said this, he immediately led a large group of ANBU ninjas and the ordinary ninjas who came over to chase in the direction pointed by Mizuki Mizuki.
Kakashi stayed behind and was responsible for guarding Mizuki.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is old, his brain is not completely confused.
He did not fully believe Mizuki's words, but instead led a group of ANBU ninjas to search the area around Mizuki's house.
Of course, this search is in vain. In the end, nothing can be found.
Although Naruto had not encountered everything that happened outside, he had expected it.
He turned many corners along the way, changed from a crow to a cat, wandered through the streets and alleys of Konoha, and made a long circle before returning to his home.
"The harvest this time is really great!"
Naruto didn't have time to be happy, so he immediately found paper and pen in the house and rewritten the forbidden ninjutsu that he had recorded previously.
After confirming that it was correct, Naruto began to recite it again to deepen his memory.
By the time it was dawn outside the window, he had memorized all these ninjutsus by heart.
After memorizing it, Naruto fired a huge fireball and destroyed all the papers recording the forbidden techniques.
The next day, when Naruto came to Konoha Bridge, Kakashi hurried over to announce that Team 7 had a three-day holiday, and hurried back again.
"Is Kakashi-sensei very busy lately?" Sakura was surprised: "I have three days off!"
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei must have been really busy recently," Naruto said with his head raised.
He had already guessed that this would be the case.
Whether it is "Mizuki steals the sealed book" or "Uchiha Itachi is back", this is a major event that can shock the village. At such a critical moment, Kakashi, an elite jounin, will definitely be transferred away.
"Besides, those ANBU ninjas are back again." Naruto noticed a few prying eyes around him.
When he was a child, the ANBU ninjas were always with him; until the past two years, perhaps because they felt that Naruto was no longer a threat, the ANBU were withdrawn.
Now that ANBU ninjas are being sent over again, the Third Generation is probably afraid that someone will take action against him as a 'jinchuuriki', so he specially sent ANBU here.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
A man with a stern face, several deep scars on his face, and his head wrapped in a towel was standing in front of the desk, waiting for the Hokage to ask about the results of his torture.
"Ibiki." Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded a little tired, obviously he didn't have a good rest last night: "How is the torture of Mizuki?"
The man called "Ibiki" by the Sandaime is the head of the ANBU Interrogation Department and a special jounin "Morino Ibiki" who is good at torture.
At this moment, after hearing the Hokage-sama's question, he lowered his head and replied: "Hokage-sama, after my torture, I have initially determined that Mizuki is not the same person as the one who stole the sealed book."
"But..." Morino Ihiki made a twist.
The Sandaime put one hand on his temple, and after a while he asked: "But what?"
"However, Mizuki has resentment towards the village and feels that the village has failed him. He has also had the idea of [Sealing the Book]. He also once thought of using the Jinchuuriki." Morino Ihiki continued to answer.
Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted slightly and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"The village has indeed been peaceful for a long time, and cats and dogs dare to jump out and stir up trouble." When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, a bright light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
He is a man who can freely use the five chakra attributes, is proficient in all ninjutsu in Konoha, and enjoys the title of "Ninjutsu Professor"!
Even though he is old, he is by no means easy to mess with.
In the original work, Orochimaru fought with the third generation, and even though he had the upper hand, he was eventually deprived of a pair of hands, and almost could no longer use ninjutsu. From this point, it can be seen that if Hiruzen fights his best, he will not be able to use it at present. Ye can still afford the title of "The Strongest Man".
"Sandaime-sama, how should we deal with Mizuki?" Morino Ihiki asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while: "Throw him into prison! Considering that he has contributed so much to the village."
"So, about the traitorous ninja Uchiha Itachi..."
"That person is not Uchiha Itachi." The third generation said with certainty.
In the eyes of others, Itachi was a traitorous ninja; but the Third Generation knew that Itachi was actually a double agent of Konoha.
You know, in order to prove his loyalty to Konoha, Itachi killed the entire family with his own hands, leaving only his younger brother Sasuke alone.
If such a person wanted to rebel long ago, why wait until now? What's more, Uchiha Itachi only cares about his younger brother Sasuke. Even if he returns to Konoha, he should go to see Sasuke instead of stealing the [Seal]
The book] is correct.
"There is another force that is secretly interfering. Danzo, is that you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his suspicious eyes to this familiar 'old friend'.
