Chapter 99 - Success
Chapter 99 - Success
The moment the tall and burly male prisoner died, the originally chaotic prison fell silent.
But the next second, an even louder uproar erupted.
This time, the inmates did more than just whistle and cheer; they also hurled a torrent of vile curses at Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Yuyi Xuan Yue would not tolerate such insolence, and he drew out several kunai knives.
Anyone who dared to curse at him received a deadly volley, silencing them instantly.
Before long, the prison was awash with blood.
After more than half of the inmates lay dead, the prison finally fell silent once more.
Those who remained, the hardened criminals who had once boasted and struck fear into others' hearts, now cowered like quails, trembling in the innermost corners of their cells, afraid to glance outside.
They had thought that their savior had come to break them out of prison and set them free.
Little did they know that the figure before them was an even more terrifying executioner than the prison guards.
In just a short while, this person had taken more lives than the total number of prisoners who had died in the prison over the past decade.
No wonder they were petrified.
At this moment, Yuyi Xuan Yue, the only one still standing in the prison, swept his gaze around indifferently. Seeing that no one dared to challenge him further, he took a step forward and ventured deeper into the prison.
According to Konoha's standards, those imprisoned here were not necessarily the most heinous criminals, but they had certainly committed a fair share of crimes.
Moreover, having been confined in such a dark environment for an extended period, many of the inmates' minds had warped and become even more extreme.
For such individuals, even if this prison belonged to Konoha and even if these convicts deeply resented the village, Yuyi Xuan Yue's attitude remained unchanged from his first and second lifetimes.
Who said that breaking into a prison meant you had to set the inmates free?
Even in ancient times, the most evil criminals were not pardoned during a grand amnesty.
In Yuyi Xuan Yue's opinion, these convicts were better off staying locked up in prison.
Afterward,
With the noise no longer a distraction, Yuyi Xuan Yue swiftly disarmed the prison's security measures and located the cell where Mizuki was held.
"Mizuki," Yuyi Xuan Yue called out to the pitch-black cell.
"Who are you?" came a reply from the darkness. The first antagonist of Konoha, a man named Mizuki, stepped forward. Unlike his genteel demeanor during his time as a teacher at the Ninja Academy, Mizuki now resembled a fitness fanatic.
It would be hard for anyone who didn't know him to recognize him.
Mizuki eyed Yuyi Xuan Yue with suspicion.
Having spent some time in prison, Mizuki had unexpectedly encountered Orochimaru, who had left a cursed seal on his arm, greatly enhancing his strength. Recently, he had also managed to convince Fuuka and Raiju to join him in a prison break.
What he didn't expect was that someone would come to break him out today.
"Could it be that Orochimaru-sama sent someone to rescue me?" Mizuki wondered, his heart burning with curiosity about the power of the cursed seal within him.
Just as Mizuki was about to ask another question,
Yuyi Xuan Yue, having finished appraising him, nodded and said, "It's indeed you."
"You..."
Mizuki sensed something amiss and his expression changed as he prepared to act.
But before he could make a move, an overwhelming force descended upon him.
With a deafening "boom," Mizuki was sent flying and embedded deep into the prison wall, unable to move a muscle.
[Ding!]
[Side Quest: Naruto Uzumaki's True Graduation Exam (Completed)]
[The host, fighting side by side with Naruto Uzumaki, has defeated Mizuki, who harbored ill intentions towards Konoha and coveted the Scroll of Seals. The Third Hokage is most impressed by your actions.]
[Quest Reward: 10 seconds of reading time for the Scroll of Seals]
Yuyi Xuan Yue averted his gaze from Mizuki and did not immediately accept the reward. If the reward description was accurate and he only had ten seconds of reading time, now was not the ideal moment to do so.
"Meal? What do you mean?" He stopped in his tracks and asked curiously.
The two big fat men pointed together at Mizuki and said, "Mizuki told us that he would take us to find someone who would give us lots of good food. Now that he can't go, what are we supposed to eat?"
So it was Fujin and Raijin, the two simple-minded fellows.
"You'll have meals if you stay in prison," Yuyi Xuan Yue casually replied, not bothering to give the two gluttons another thought as he walked away.
Watching Yuyi Xuan Yue's departing figure, Fujin scratched his head and said, "What he said makes a lot of sense."
Raijin agreed, "Then let's stay in prison and wait for our meals."
The brothers promptly abandoned their escape plan and continued to squat in prison, obediently waiting to be fed.
Outside the Konoha Prison.
Finding a secluded spot, Yuyi Xuan Yue received the reward for his side quest.
The next second.
A huge scroll suddenly appeared before Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyes.
"It's identical to the one in the Fire Shadow Building's secret room," he thought.
At a glance, Yuyi Xuan Yue could confirm that the Seal Scroll in front of him was exactly the same as the one in the secret room, down to the identical patterns on the scroll.
"Is this a copy, or is this the original Seal Scroll from before?"
Time was of the essence, and Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't have the leisure to ponder further. He quickly opened the Seal Scroll, ignoring other forbidden techniques, and swiftly located the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and the Corpse Demon Seal Technique, which were most crucial to his plan. He skimmed through them at a rapid pace.
At the same time.
In the Fire Shadow Building, within the secret room where the Seal Scroll was kept.
The room's entrance had been resealed with a new barrier, and the guards outside had increased their vigilance, multiplying their numbers.
However, they never imagined that the Seal Scroll, which had been securely placed on the stone pedestal, would suddenly vanish into thin air.
The seal technique, in which they had placed so much hope, showed no signs of activating, as if everything that had just transpired was but an illusion.
Ten seconds later.
The Seal Scroll reappeared on the stone pedestal, as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, outside the Konoha Prison.
As the ten-second limit passed, Yuyi Xuan Yue, who had intended to keep the Seal Scroll in his hands to test what would happen if he continued reading, was astonished to find the scroll transforming from solid to insubstantial and then disappearing without a trace.
Ten seconds meant ten seconds.
"Interesting," Yuyi Xuan Yue mused, witnessing yet another ability of the system firsthand.
Fortunately, he had already read what he needed.
With his exceptional memory, he had committed to memory the contents of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and the Corpse Demon Seal Technique, imprinting them in his mind.
His trip to Konoha had been a resounding success.
From now on, he would focus on his plan to complete his soul.
Once his condition returned to its peak, he would resume his journey on the path of the Blood Limit Catastrophic Fire Control, which he had embarked upon long ago.
