Kyosuke carefully stowed away the mask. He had a feeling that one day, he would definitely need it.
"Now, then..."
Gazing at the ancient shrine before him, he swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed a sea of flames that engulfed the entire building.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!
"There's no need to leave such a strange place standing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kyosuke had already arrived at a residence two kilometers away.
This was Uzumaki Ashina's estate. His Shadow Clone hadn't just found the place—it had also discovered some interesting things.
Kyosuke picked up the scroll his clone had found and opened it. It clearly contained instructions for learning Sealing Jutsu.
Uzumaki Ashina probably never imagined that anyone would be audacious enough to sneak into his residence and steal from him.
All the painstakingly recorded Sealing Jutsu techniques had ended up in the hands of his enemy, Kyosuke.
In fact, the scroll might not have been the only thing worth taking.
Kyosuke bent down and picked up a map. Compared with the scroll, which didn't contain any S-rank Sealing Jutsu, the map's contents made him even more curious.
The ninja world had all kinds of weapons. Their prices fluctuated wildly depending on how well they conducted Chakra.
Blades of divine-weapon caliber could transmit Chakra perfectly, were exceptionally sharp, and were so durable that nothing could break them.
The map Uzumaki Ashina had kept recorded the location of a certain Kusanagi Sword.
Ever since he had begun training, Kyosuke had never given up honing his swordsmanship.
In the future, when he faced powerful enemies immune to Ninjutsu, his excellent swordsmanship would give him a considerable boost in strength.
That was why he was very interested in finding this Kusanagi Sword.
