It wasn't there? Had he guessed wrong?
On the Ninja World Continent, there is a famous mountain called Deforming Mountain!
There is a mountain whose terrain changes at any time. No one dares to go inside to explore it, because countless people have gotten lost inside and never come out.
Tōka stole the Scroll of Seals and darted straight into the Forest at the edge of the village.
In a desolate, dense Woods, the air is damp and the light is dim, making it a favorite dark, damp, and cold environment for poisonous insects and rodents.
With soft, damp earth beneath his feet, Tōka walked steadily into the depths of the forest.
The sun was obscured by dense clouds, and the sparse golden rays that fell were blocked by the thick Forest.
High in the Forest canopy, a petite figure sat with her back against a tree trunk, holding a Scroll almost as big as herself in her hands.
The Scroll of Seals, passed down through generations of Hokage Konoha, what an alluring treasure.
However, Tōka's gaze did not linger for even a second longer. He swept his eyes over every Forbidden Jutsu on the Scroll and quickly looked down with a strong sense of purpose.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Summoning Jutsu: Impure World Reincarnation, Eight Inner Gates, Izanagi, Summoning Jutsu: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, Sealing Technique: Reaper Death Seal, Izanami, Flying Thunder God Technique...
Countless alluring Forbidden Jutsu dazzle the eye.
Snap!
Tōka turned to the second half of the Scroll of Seals, or more precisely, the last part, where the Eternal Mangekyo suddenly came into view.
"Even this thing has records?" Tōka raised an eyebrow and looked closer.
But they discovered... this was the source of the First Hokage's insights from countless battles with Uchiha Madara, including the various abilities in Madara's eyes and methods for dealing with them.
A few years ago, Tōka might have been interested in this.
After all, Uchiha Madara's power was simply indescribable, but now, Tōka closed the Scroll with little interest.
"The Scroll of Seals doesn't contain a method to undo the Pure Land Reversal!"
Tōka frowned, rested her chin on her hands, and blinked her eyes, looking like a cunning little Fox.
However, Itachi said that there is a high probability that it is in the Scroll of Seals.
If Tōka didn't find it, then there are only two possibilities: Itachi was lying, or the small probability that wasn't in the Scroll of Seals appeared.
Can you tell me the exact answer?
Tōka's eyes darkened, and she raised her small hand, pointing a finger into the air. Her Finger Bones pierced through the flesh and shot out like an arrow, striking the trunk of a Great Tree with a bang.
All-Killing Ash Bones, a single, decisive blow!
Any living being hit by the Ash Bones will turn into pieces of grayish-white Waste Paper and disappear completely.
A clearing suddenly appeared in the Woods, and two figures emerged from behind where the Big Tree had disappeared.
"All-Killing Ash Bones, it really is Tōka." Orochimaru, whose face was unhealthy and pale, licked his lips and grinned.
Although Tōka appears under the identity of Tōka Hanabi, her unique chakra cannot be concealed.
Snakes do not distinguish things by sight, but by their keen sense of smell.
"You can even tell that? No wonder you're Orochimaru!" Tōka smiled sweetly, revealing an exceptionally cute and harmless expression.
"Tōka's aura is quite unique..." Orochimaru looked Hanabi up and down, his gaze intense, as if he were examining a perfect work of art.
With the Living Corpse Reincarnation, Orochimaru can transfer his spirit into another person's body, thereby gaining eternal life.
Therefore, Orochimaru concluded that Tōka had also used a similar Secret Technique to possess Hanabi's body.
It seems to be even more perfect than his Living Corpse Reincarnation!
"I'm curious, how did you find me?" Tōka narrowed his eyes. He hated Orochimaru's direct gaze, a gaze filled with prying and desire.
"It wasn't me who found you, but..." Orochimaru glanced sideways at the man beside him, whose head was wrapped in bandages and who was leaning on a cane.
Danzo?!
Tōka raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking, "That old guy Danzo also knows Sensory Technique?"
Although he didn't deliberately hide himself, it's not like just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could find him!
The Hokage dispatched so many Anbu and still hadn't found Tōka, yet that old Danzo actually got there before the Hokage?
"Tōka, enough with the nonsense, how about we make a deal?" Danzo took two steps forward, leaning on his cane, and looked up at Tōka with a slight tilt of his head.
"A deal? Interesting!" Tōka plummeted from a great height, but his body seemed unaffected by Gravity, suddenly feeling light as he approached the ground.
It landed on the ground as lightly as a sheet of rice paper.
When he was first discovered, Tōka planned to kill them all, but when he saw that the people who came were Danzo and Orochimaru, he suddenly changed his mind.
Wouldn't Konoha be much less fun without these two guys?
"Tell me about the deal you're talking about." Tōka stopped five steps in front of Danzo, her bright eyes full of curiosity.
"The Scroll of Seals, the legacy of the Hokage through the ages, is also a treasure of Konoha," Danzo said, unconcerned by Tōka's attitude.
"The Scroll of Seals records the Secret Technique of the Hokage throughout history, as well as many Forbidden Jutsu."
At this point, Danzo, a mocking look appearing on his dry face, as if he were laughing at Tōka.
Tōka's face immediately darkened; he was utterly bewildered by the contempt he had received!
"The Scroll in your hand is not the Scroll of Seals, but..."
A strong wind blew through the forest, causing the shadows of the Tree Shadow to sway and the leaves to rustle. Danzo's words were drowned out by the sound of the wind.
Tōka, however, was able to understand Danzo's meaning from Danzo lip movements.
Rubbing?
In its simplest sense, isn't that just a copy?
"You mean this is a fake Scroll of Seals?" Tōka asked with a skeptical look, glancing down at the thick Scroll in his hand, which clearly recorded various Forbidden Jutsu.
Although he didn't look at it closely, it shouldn't be fake.
Danzo shook his head. "It is true, but it's not the original. It's just a copy of some Ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals."
Orochimaru chuckled coldly, adding, "Tōka wouldn't be so naive as to think... that the Third Hokage was so confident in placing the Scroll of Seals in the Interrogation Room of the Hokage Building, would he?"
Danzo smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "If the Scroll of Seals were truly lost, Third Hokage dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough!"
Tōka was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"It seems you know where the Scroll of Seals was originally located."
Upon hearing this, Danzo and Orochimaru exchanged a smile. Tōka 'Tōka question indicated that he already believed them.
"I don't know the specifics, but it should be hidden among the Enma Clan," Danzo replied.
"You mean in Deforming Mountain?" Tōka knew that the Third Hokage elder's Summoning Beast, the Enma, came from Deforming Mountain!
And that guy seems to have been buried in the Deforming Mountain as well.
However, given the Monkey King Enma's strength... Tōka looked down at his small frame and realized he wasn't very confident he could defeat that guy!
