"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here!?"
Suzumebachi's face is extremely ugly.
Staring at the door plaque of the mansion, his lips pursed into a thin line.
Kai's face was expressionless, as if he had expected this result.
In fact, from the moment Rinkaichū flew all the way to Iwagakure, he had a vague judgment.
Kamizuru Clan's lost ancient secret scroll is most likely in the hands of Ōnoki.
As for the reason why Third Tsuchikage hid his secret, Kai also had speculations in his mind.
Ōnoki is the direct disciple of Second Tsuchikage Mu, and he inherits the will of that lineage.
And First Tsuchikage Ishikawa is the ancestor of the Kamizuru Clan.
The two Tsuchikage are from the same line, but they each have their own inheritance.
By the time Ōnoki came to power, Kamizuru Clan had already been defeated by the Aburame Clan and became the shame of Iwagakure.
In order to prevent this once glorious patriarchal family from rising again, Ōnoki chose to hide the scroll in the dark forever.
This is the answer.
Kai turned to Suzumebachi with a calm voice:
"Now that you know what's here, you can guess what's going on."
"What happens next is not suitable for you to come with me."
Suzumebachi was about to speak when Kai stopped her with Teuchi:
"You are a burden if you come with me."
"I'll go by myself, and there's still hope of getting out alive."
Suzumebachi opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression, but could not refute.
She knows her own strength better than anyone else.
In a place like that, when she met Ōnoki, she couldn't even protect herself.
She gritted her teeth and nodded:
"Okay, then I... will go to the beekeeping field and wait for you."
She paused and took a deep look at Kai.
"You must be careful."
Kai nodded. "Don't worry."
Suzumebachi Without any further hesitation, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until her figure completely melted into the dusk that Kai withdrew his attention.
He did not rush to take action, but walked slowly around the perimeter of the Ōnoki mansion.
He silently memorized the height of every fence, the location of every secret sentry, and the rules of guard shifts.
Ōnoki's mansion is very large and cannot be said to be heavily guarded, but there are a lot of auras hidden in the dark.
Two of them are particularly stable, at least to the level of Elite Jonin.
Kai checked into a modest hotel nearby.
Three days later.
After Kai confirmed that Ōnoki had gone out and never returned, he stopped waiting.
That night.
Kai put on his night clothes, a hat, a mask, and a dark cloak.
In the second half of the night, when the lights in the city gradually went out, Kai quietly came out of the window.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he lurked all the way to the outskirts of the Ōnoki mansion.
Kai doesn't have a very good invisibility skill, not Kekkei Genkai.
But he has the super perception brought by Glazed Immaculate Body, as well as the ability to restrain his breath.
As long as he is not facing a top perceptive master, he is confident that he will not be discovered.
He climbed over the wall and landed silently.
Rinkaichū vibrates gently in the small box, guiding the direction.
Kai followed the weak feeling and walked silently through the mansion.
After going around several corridors and avoiding two patrolling sentries, we finally came to a rockery in the back garden.
Rinkaichū's wings began to flap violently.
The tentacles point to the bottom of the rockery and keep arching into the cracks in the rocks.
Kai squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground, feeling like water seeping into the ground.
There is indeed a space below.
But it is covered with an invisible barrier, blocking most exploration.
Forcibly breaking the barrier will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the ninja who set up the barrier, which is almost equivalent to direct exposure.
"You can't force your way in, you can only try that trick!"
Kai didn't hesitate, he stood up, closed his eyes slightly, and the next Body Flicker Technique shape suddenly disappeared.
Stake-Walking Afterimage Step!
His figure passed through the rock and appeared in the space inside the barrier.
"It's done!"
Kai immediately looked at the barrier above, which was intact.
Then Kai looked around.
This is a closed underground chamber, and the walls and floor are covered with complete traces of the enchantment.
The air is dry and smells of old things.
The corners of Kai's mouth raised slightly.
Came in.
Time is precious and may be discovered at any time.
He immediately released Rinkaichū.
The little bug flapped its wings and flew up, circled twice in the air, and landed straight on a wooden box deep in the secret room.
Kai stepped forward in three steps and opened the wooden box.
A simple and broken scroll lay quietly at the bottom of the box.
He glanced at it and saw insect-shaped patterns and ancient writing clearly visible on the cover.
It is the lost treasure of the Kamizuru Clan.
"This secret technique..."
Kai's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly put the scroll into his arms without having time to take a closer look.
His eyes swept across the secret room, and there were many things displayed around it.
Several sets of finished armors, it can be seen that they are well made, at least they are high-quality ninja tools.
In the corner stood a broken piece of iron more than two meters high, with vague runes engraved on the surface. It was unclear whether it was a weapon or a mold.
There are gold and silver jewelry scattered nearby, which is roughly estimated to be worth at least a billion taels.
Kai raised his eyebrows.
This secret room is probably not Iwagakure's treasury, but Ōnoki's private treasury.
A fortune of more than one billion taels is not much for a Tsuchikage who has been in charge of Iwagakure for decades.
Kai will naturally not be polite.
He stretched out his arms and his cloak billowed out.
Wind Kasaya Demon-Subduing Art An invisible strong wind blew up in an instant.
Wrap up all the armor, iron blocks, gold and silver jewelry in the secret room, as well as the wooden box, into the cloak.
After the roll was clean, Kai turned around and returned to where he came from without a moment's hesitation.
Stake-Walking Afterimage Step cast again.
With a flash of his body, he appeared in the night outside the rockery.
However, the moment his figure emerged, a strong life-and-death crisis suddenly hit his body.
"No! There's an ambush!"
Kai almost instinctively urged Stake-Walking Afterimage Step again and teleported out of the way.
At the same moment he disappeared, a dazzling white light silently penetrated the position where he had just stood.
Wherever the white light passed, the dust particles in the air were directly decomposed.
Even the ground disappeared out of thin air!
Dust Release·Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!
"What a risk!"
Kai had teleported several feet away, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He looked back and saw that the entrance to the underground passage, which was still intact just now, had now been attacked by Dust Release into a terrifying void hole.
Even rocks have been broken down into molecules.
If it had been any slower, his whole person might have been wiped out.
He raised his eyes and saw Ōnoki floating in mid-air.
The short figure cast a shadow in the moonlight, and his cold eyes locked on Kai across the night.
His eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
This old boy came back without knowing when.
Next to Ōnoki, there stood a sturdy red-haired ninja with Hand Seals hands, ready to take action at any time.
Those are his personal Guard, Akatsuchi.
