The Sky Screen continued playing.
"Roar!"
A wildly ferocious roar tore through the sky as the enormous Nine-Tails appeared in the center of Konoha, its vast and terrifying Chakra sweeping across heaven and earth.
"This is truly terrifying! This Chakra is crushing my Soul Power circulation to the point of almost stopping!"
Yu Zhi sighed.
Dugu Bo could no longer hold back. His eyes burned as he hurriedly urged in a low voice, "Little Monster, the time has come. We should get moving!"
Suppressing the excitement surging within him, Yu Zhi remained composed. He raised a hand to signal him to wait and explained in a deep voice, "A little longer. We'll wait until the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, personally leads people to the front line."
"In the Shinobi World, every Kage has an exclusive guard unit by their side. Their combat strength cannot be underestimated."
"The Fourth Hokage's guard unit was probably already slaughtered by that Masked Man, but the Third Hokage's guard unit has yet to appear."
"As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen heads to the battlefield to suppress the chaos, his guards will certainly accompany him, leaving the rear undefended. That will be our best opportunity."
The two quietly lay low in the shadows and waited patiently. Before long, they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, clad in battle armor and wearing a grave expression, leading a large group toward the front lines where the Nine-Tails was wreaking havoc.
Nearly all of Konoha's top combat forces had been deployed, leaving its internal defenses instantly hollow and weak.
A sharp gleam flashed through Yu Zhi's eyes. Without another moment of hesitation, he barked, "Old Poisoner, move!"
His and Dugu Bo's objective was clear: they headed straight for Konoha's core stronghold, the Hokage Building.
They had already gathered the information beforehand. As for how?
Simple! Just find a few Konoha thugs bullying someone at random and ask them!
Before long, the two quietly arrived outside the Hokage Building.
With the village in chaos, panic filled the building. Large numbers of civilian ninja were hurriedly packing their things and evacuating for safety.
"Old Poisoner, pick the weakest one and take them down for questioning!"
Yu Zhi swept his gaze around and immediately came up with a plan.
Just what he needed. He had been worrying about which room held the Scroll of Sealing, and now the information had come right to him!
"Alright!"
Without another word, Dugu Bo flashed forward and silently abducted a civilian ninja who was fleeing in panic.
Yu Zhi did not waste time. He activated his Sharingan and unleashed his fourth Soul Skill: Mind Control!
As for its effect?
It was barely comparable to Professor X!
Only Soul Sages could struggle against it!
In mere moments, he had searched the man's mind and found the exact location where the Scroll of Sealing was kept.
The two did not linger. Taking advantage of the chaos, they swiftly infiltrated the building and headed straight for their target.
Just as they reached the corridor on that floor, they heard an urgent voice calling out.
"Move faster! Transfer everything immediately! The Hokage Building is too close to the Nine-Tails and far too dangerous. We must get these things out as soon as possible!"
Yu Zhi looked up and saw a Konoha jonin leading three genin as they hurried outside.
Combined with what he had just heard, he immediately understood. They were transferring the Scroll of Sealing!
That had been close! They had nearly failed at the last moment!
"Old Poisoner, act now! Knock them out!" Yu Zhi said in a low voice.
A fierce glint flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes. He fully activated the Medusa Skull, firing a cold Petrification Beam that precisely enveloped the level eighty-five jonin and the three genin.
"Medusa's Gaze!"
Before the words had even faded, the Petrification Beam instantly spread through all four of them, freezing their bodies stiff in an instant.
Like four lifelike stone statues, even the expressions on their faces were fixed in place. They could not move at all, and even their Chakra was completely frozen.
Having succeeded in one move, Dugu Bo showed no mercy. With a lift of his hand, pale purple Jade Phosphorus Poison mist silently spread out, precisely covering the four stone statues.
Unlike the widespread expansion of a poison domain, he deliberately controlled the poison's concentration this time, releasing only enough to render them unconscious!
The Jade Phosphorus Poison seeped through the gaps in their skin. Though not lethal, it rapidly numbed their nerves and cut off their consciousness.
Moments later, the petrification gradually faded. The four stiff bodies crashed to the ground, their eyes shut and breathing faint. They had fallen completely into deep unconsciousness, without even the slightest chance to resist.
Dugu Bo was no longer what he used to be. If he had fought this level eighty-five Konoha jonin before, he would have needed to put in considerable effort.
Now, however, his cultivation had firmly reached level ninety-five, and his Martial Soul had evolved into the Jade Scale Dragon King. His strength had increased severalfold.
"Thanks to you, Old Poisoner!" Yu Zhi praised. If he had been alone, there would have been no hope at all!
Dugu Bo smiled, then said, "Konoha ninja are nothing special!"
That sounded incredibly pretentious!
But Yu Zhi knew full well that Old Poisoner's Petrification Beam was simply too broken!
It was purely a matter of mechanics!
In Naruto, any Ninjutsu involving mechanics would torment everyone else beyond measure!
And on top of that, Old Poisoner now had level suppression!
How was a level eighty-five jonin supposed to fight that?
As they spoke, Yu Zhi quickly stepped forward and searched the unconscious Konoha jonin's clothes. Before long, he found a Sealing Scroll.
Using the information he had just extracted from the civilian ninja's mind, he somewhat awkwardly undid the scroll.
With a soft bang, an enormous, heavy scroll landed steadily on the ground.
Suppressing the excitement surging within him, Yu Zhi carefully unrolled it and hurriedly scanned the Ninjutsu recorded upon it.
The Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Jutsu, and even the forbidden Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu and Dead Demon Consuming Seal were all listed within.
After confirming that it was genuine, the weight hanging over his heart finally lifted.
Dugu Bo, standing beside him, could no longer restrain his impatience. He hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Well? Is this what we were looking for?"
"Without a doubt, this is it! And everything's here!"
Yu Zhi's eyes shone brightly, unable to conceal his wild joy. He quickly rolled up the Scroll of Sealing and handed it to Dugu Bo!
Beneath the Sky Screen, discussions erupted throughout Douluo Continent.
"As expected of a Title Douluo! A level eighty-five expert had no ability to resist him at all!"
"But what are Yu Zhi and Poison Douluo doing?"
"They aren't going to join the Nine-Tails Incident, but instead came to this building and used a Title Douluo's strength to bully Soul Douluo?"
"Could they be proving that the Soul Masters of our Douluo Continent are no weaker than their ninja?"
Many people were filled with confusion, though some sharp-minded individuals sensed that something was off!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
"Dad, that Yu Zhi looks really happy! There must be something hidden in that scroll!"
Ning Rongrong blinked her lively eyes, her face full of certainty.
She believed there had to be something suspicious about it. Otherwise, Yu Zhi, whom her father had called a genius, would not be so unable to hide his delight!
"A scroll, not going to the final site of the Nine-Tails... Ninjutsu!"
Ning Fengzhi gently rubbed the edge of his teacup and murmured to himself, continuously piecing together the clues!
"That kid came from Naruto Continent in the first place. Who knows what exactly he has his eye on?"
Bone Douluo's casual remark instantly enlightened Ning Fengzhi.
He abruptly rose to his feet, a brilliant light bursting from his eyes as he declared with certainty, "I understand! What they're after is Ninjutsu!"
