Golden Reaper Namikaze Minato, Unbounded Scheming! Repelling Cloud Village Single-Handedly!

"The Uchiha clan held an emergency clan meeting at dawn. We'll be keeping a low profile for a while—this unknown party seems to have formidable stealth abilities," Uchiha Miya said. "Moreover, Clan Heir Fugaku told us that the Sarutobi incident happened in the dead of night. The Third Hokage rushed over immediately, but it was a perfect timing gap—the Scroll of Seals at the Konoha Building was breached right then, and the scroll was stolen."

"However, the Scroll of Seals isn't just protected by sealing techniques—it's also covered in various seals."

"Only the Hokage knows how to open the Scroll of Seals."

"Right now, the Third Hokage has mobilized nearly everyone, racing against time to recover it."

Hyuga Shin listened in silence.

Uchiha Miya shook his head. "Who the hell are they... daring to kill even the Sarutobi clan?"

The Kurama clan was once a great clan, but now it had fallen into decline.

But the Sarutobi clan? What were they?

The Uchiha had been suppressed for years, while the Hyuga followed the Doctrine of the Mean. These two so-called great clans of Konoha were actually inferior to the Sarutobi in terms of population, knowledge systems, and economic authority.

And they still dared to kill?

Uchiha Miya was a radical within the clan.

But now, even he felt that this mysterious figure was a bit too extreme.

Hyuga Shin thought for a moment, then spoke. "With such a commotion, there's no hiding it... I'm afraid Cloud will make a move."

"Cloud, huh? Hmph... If they dare set foot in Konoha, we'll make sure they never leave! Enough talk—let's spar!!"

"You're the one who's been talking this whole time..."

"Shut up! Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

Inside Hyuga Shin's body, the Inner World.

Listening to the conversation outside.

Su Nuo sneered as he read a book.

The Scroll of Seals hadn't been unsealed yet, but here, he could continue analyzing the sealing techniques on it.

Now possessing the Sarutobi Sealing Technique, combined with Sukuna's Barrier Jutsu, fully deciphering the Scroll of Seals and becoming a scholar... was only a matter of time.

"As for Cloud... no need to worry."

"Right now, the only possibility is Konoha striking out, not Cloud invading."

"Unless the Third Raikage doesn't care about his own men's lives..."

"I Thought It Was a Weed?" "Too fast, didn't see it, killed on the fly" "Go Tell That to My Flying Thunder God" "We Are All Living Hard"

Without the Younger Raikage in the picture.

At this moment, only the Third Raikage could possibly deal with that absurdly underhanded existence...

Namikaze Minato's KDA was probably about to max out right about now.

The battlefield.

A Cloud ninja spotted that golden flash.

"Run, run!"

"It's the Yellow Flash!"

"Damn, him again! Cloud ninja don't retreat! Fight!!"

"Bro, seriously? How many have died already?"

"What 'Yellow Flash'? This is clearly..."

"The Golden Reaper!!"

Shink!

A ninja figure appeared in an instant.

"Haah..." Namikaze Minato let out a soft breath, and a faint current of air suddenly gathered in his hand!

Then, nothing happened.

"Hehe, failed~"

Minato scratched his head in frustration, then switched to stabbing a Cloud ninja straight through the heart with a kunai!

Afterward, Minato watched the Cloud ninja running around in Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but didn't give chase.

"Lately, Cloud ninja have been charging in mindlessly..."

"I guess it's because the Third Raikage lost his son?"

"But that's only natural..."

"This is the battlefield. No one will go easy on you just because of who you are."

"Hyuga Shin, huh... I caught a glimpse of him in the village before."

As for why Namikaze Minato was still in the village earlier and now appeared on the battlefield slaughtering indiscriminately—

Well, the Flying Thunder God Technique was just that disgustingly underhanded.

At that moment, Minato looked down at his palm.

Streams of chakra swirled together on it, only to scatter apart again.

"I need to speed things up... There's unrest in the village, Cloud is tightening the noose outside, and the other villages are watching hungrily..."

"For Kushina... To protect her, to protect the village..."

Minato clenched his fist tightly, then vanished from the spot once more!

On the other side, the Third Raikage A received word from Konoha a day later.

"What? The Sarutobi Clan was massacred, and the Scroll of Seals was stolen."

"Hahaha!"

"That old dog Hiruzen Sarutobi is truly useless—can't even protect his own clan from being killed, and now the Scroll of Seals is gone too. He's utterly indefensible!"

But soon, Raikage A's expression darkened.

He was itching to charge over, avenge his son, and personally kill that bastard named Hyuga Shin.

But Namikaze Minato had been hacking away so relentlessly that even his kunai were getting dull!

Couldn't get through. Absolutely couldn't get through.

To set up defenses, Minato had left Flying Thunder God kunai everywhere.

Now, Cloud Village ninja were even developing a phobia.

Only when the Third Raikage himself went out would they not fear that Namikaze Minato.

But Minato was crafty as hell—he deliberately avoided the Third Raikage, zipping around everywhere, exclusively killing chunin and jonin, leaving the Third Raikage completely frustrated!

"I have to find a way to deal with Namikaze Minato..."

While Minato was terrorizing Cloud Village ninja on the battlefield with the Flying Thunder God Technique, back in Konoha, the internal investigation had hit a dead end.

After a full day of investigation.

Not a single Anbu had spotted the enemy!

Even within the Sarutobi Clan, everyone was baffled.

The barrier was broken, yet no one sensed it.

The enemy invaded, yet there was no reaction at all.

They killed a bunch of people, and only after the enemy had left did the clan members slowly notice the smell of blood.

And even that was within the enemy's expectations—by the time Hiruzen Sarutobi led the Anbu to the clan grounds, the Scroll of Seals had already been stolen!

Hiruzen was frantic.

Earlier, several people from the Kurama Clan had died. For them, it was the sky falling—they barely had any Kekkei Genkai users left, and this wave practically spelled their complete decline.

But that incident had been just another thing to Hiruzen; the Kurama Clan had already fallen so far they had no value.

Now, it was different...

Not only because his own clan—the Sarutobi Clan—had lost an elder to a brutal death.

But also because the theft of the Scroll of Seals could bring catastrophic disaster to Konoha!

Inside were a mountain of forbidden techniques developed by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama!

He gathered the Anbu members, his face unusually grim, and commanded: "Spare no expense—find the culprit and the Scroll of Seals! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!!"

"Yes, sir!!"

All the Anbu ninjas accepted their orders and dispersed, swiftly launching a house-to-house search across every street and alley in Konoha.
