Chapter 97: The System is No Longer the Trash it Once Was
Chapter 97: The System is No Longer the Trash it Once Was
Konoha was on high alert, just shy of evacuating the villagers to the shelter.
The instigator of all this, Yuyi Xuan Yue, was in no hurry to leave.
After collecting a large stack of scrolls containing his spoils of war and disguising himself to avoid unnecessary trouble, he walked through the chaotic crowds with a clear purpose and arrived at the Hokage Building.
Due to the incident with the Root, the village's defenses were understaffed, causing the usually heavily guarded Hokage Building to lower its protection level significantly.
Yuyi Xuan Yue easily avoided the numerous hidden traps and sensors surrounding the Hokage Building and stepped into the village's highest authority.
It was already night.
In the absence of its owner, the Fifth Hokage, the building was pitch-black.
According to the intelligence about Konoha obtained from Ali and the information found in the Root, Yuyi Xuan Yue quietly made his way to a secret room protected by a sealing barrier.
Noticing the two Anbu ninjas guarding the door even at this time, as well as the hidden sensors lurking in the darkness, Yuyi Xuan Yue knew he had come to the right place.
After a few breaths, a faint sound of something falling to the ground was heard.
Yuyi Xuan Yue held the last conscious but helpless Anbu ninja by the collar. Their eyes met, and he swiftly cast a Doujutsu, invading the ninja's brain to search for the information he needed.
"Oh? Their memories related to this secret room have been sealed." Yuyi Xuan Yue was a bit surprised.
But he didn't mind.
The vast difference in their power levels, coupled with the inherent stealthiness of Ali's Doujutsu in extracting brain memories, soon granted him access to the Anbu ninja's knowledge.
Yuyi Xuan Yue tossed aside the now useless ninja and formed hand seals toward the secret room's door.
After a moment, the sealing barrier on the door dissipated.
The door opened.
Before him was a room where intricate sealing formulas were carved onto the floor, walls, and even the ceiling, and at its center stood a lone pedestal.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's gaze fell upon a massive scroll resting on the pedestal—his target.
It was Konoha's famous "Sealing Scroll."
After resolving the issues with his body, Yuyi Xuan Yue turned his attention to his soul.
This was one of the reasons he had come to Konoha.
According to his plan, the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and the Corpse Demon Seal Technique recorded in the Sealing Scroll would greatly aid him in perfecting his soul.
Therefore, before leaving, he made a special trip to the Hokage Building.
As he reached for the Sealing Scroll, he noticed something that made him pause.
"This is a sealing secret technique of the Uzumaki Clan, and it's an extremely advanced one."
Scanning the densely packed sealing formulas on the walls, floor, and ceiling, Yuyi Xuan Yue, despite not being well-versed in sealing techniques, could discern that all these formulas were ultimately linked to the lone pedestal in the room, and more specifically, to the Sealing Scroll on it.
If he touched the Sealing Scroll, the sealing formulas in the room would be fully activated.
Among them, Yuyi Xuan Yue spotted formulas representing fire and destruction.
This meant that if he didn't follow the correct procedure and tried to take the Sealing Scroll by force, not only would the scroll itself be instantly incinerated, but the entire room would be reduced to ashes, taking anyone attempting to claim it with it.
Yuyi Xuan Yue seriously thought about the sealing formula in the secret room.
The guards outside the door didn't know how to undo the seal.
The only one who knew how to undo it was the Hokage.
Obviously, Tsunade wasn't currently in the village, so Yuyi Xuan Yue had no way to ask her about it.
"This is troublesome."
The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki Clan had been renowned in the ninja world for many years, and any force in this regard was far inferior. Naturally, there was something unique about it.
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't think he could undo it in a short time.
Just then, a familiar ding sounded in his mind.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was a bit surprised and looked immediately.
[Ding!]
[Side Quest: Naruto Uzumaki's True Graduation Exam]
[Quest Description: Naruto Uzumaki, the only one in the class who hasn't graduated, is feeling rather dejected. You see Iruka-sensei approach Naruto and whisper something to him, causing him to become excited. You realize that the plot has officially started. This is a good opportunity. You can seize the moment, join in, and work together with Naruto to defeat the treacherous Mizuki.]
[Quest Reward: 10 seconds of reading time with the Sealing Scroll (The Third Hokage is watching you, and 10 seconds is the limit of his tolerance).]
"This is an interesting quest."
Without hesitation, Yuyi Xuan Yue chose to accept it.
"Defeating Mizuki is one thing, he should currently be imprisoned in the Konoha Maximum Security Prison. But how will the Sealing Scroll be given to me? Could it be that it will just appear out of thin air? The Third Hokage is already dead and gone, so what difference does it make if he's watching or not?"
Looking at the Sealing Scroll quietly resting in front of him, Yuyi Xuan Yue curiously stroked his chin and pondered.
Of course, regardless, this unexpected turn of events was thanks to the system.
As the quests were completed one by one, although the system's progress was far from his true level, it occasionally provided some eye-opening rewards.
"Gradually, the system is no longer the trash it once was."
Yuyi Xuan Yue sighed with emotion.
Finally, he glanced at the Sealing Scroll on the stone pedestal, thinking that there might be a connection between the system's reward and the one in front of him.
Out of caution, Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't touch it before leaving, and even kindly closed the door again. With a flash, he disappeared from the room.
Five minutes later, the Konoha ninjas, who had not received a radio response as per the regulations, quickly arrived in front of the secret room, sensing that something was amiss.
"Not good! The Sealing Scroll!"
Seeing their fallen comrade, some ninjas went to rescue him while others opened the barrier and the door, their faces filled with worry as they rushed to look inside.
And then...
They saw that the Sealing Scroll was intact.
The sealing formula in the room remained as well.
The Konoha ninjas, who had been startled, breathed a sigh of relief and then began to speculate.
"Did the intruder give up because they understood the purpose of these sealing formulas?"
"Could the person who infiltrated the Sealing Scroll room be the same one who just caused trouble for the Root?"
"Very likely! Quick, report this to the higher-ups!"
