Scroll of Sealing, Six Forbidden Techniques

Inside the dim study.

Mu had already opened who knew how many drawers.

The system kept notifying him that he had obtained Ninjutsu scrolls of various grades, B-rank, C-rank, and so on.

Yet there was no sign of any forbidden technique scrolls.

He had to complain—Third Hokage was truly biased. He had actually put the Scroll of Sealing right in Naruto's face for him to steal.

"Damn it. Keep going."

However, after Mu destroyed several barriers inside the Hokage's study, the Third Hokage had already sensed something.

But now was not a good time to turn back.

He could only hope those sealing barriers were strong enough.

Meanwhile, Mu turned the Hokage's study upside down.

Finally,

he found the Scroll of Sealing inside a hidden compartment in a corner.

"That's right. This is it."

"The Scroll of Sealing."

Let's see what forbidden techniques are in here.

The moment he opened the scroll,

six powerful forbidden techniques came into view.

The first:

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Once mastered to the extreme, the clones were almost equal to the original body.

And as long as one had enough chakra, they could create clones without limit.

This Ninjutsu was simply absurd. It was also one of Naruto's greatest abilities in the middle of the anime.

The second:

Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation.

Developed by the Second Hokage, the conditions for reincarnation were extremely demanding.

It desecrated the dead, controlled souls, and required living sacrifices.

To simplify such a terrifying technique, reduce the reincarnation requirements to the minimum, and later revive powerful experts from every faction in bulk—

Orochimaru and Kabuto were absolutely super geniuses.

The third:

Eight Gates. It was powerful, but opening the Gate of Death burned away all of one's life force.

"I wonder what would happen if it were combined with an Impure World Reincarnation body..."

The fourth:

Summoning: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.

This was a terrifying forbidden technique capable of endlessly detonating in succession. Without some kind of cheat, one would basically be blown to death.

But combined with Impure World Reincarnation, it became outrageously powerful.

The fifth:

Flying Thunder God Technique.

This was actually a space-time forbidden technique. It had similarities to the ability in my right eye, yet each had its own advantages.

The speed and range of Flying Thunder God complemented my Temporal Domain and Void Mark. I really struck gold.

The sixth:

Sealing Technique, Reaper Death Seal.

It sacrificed one's soul to the Death God and perished together with the enemy... This was actually the forbidden technique that had sealed Orochimaru's hands.

Orochimaru must have learned it long ago.

None of these six terrifying forbidden techniques was simple.

Just reading them made his scalp tingle.

"Where should I even start learning?"

How about taking it and studying it slowly?

First, he had to complete the mission. Those hundred skill points would at least let him get three forbidden techniques started.

The thought made him a little excited.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu did not even glance at the low-level Ninjutsu scattered on the ground. He flashed toward the battlefield.

Before he even arrived, he pushed his powerful Mangekyō Sharingan to its limit.

His gaze involuntarily turned toward the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the battle between both sides had long since begun.

Though Sarutobi Hiruzen was old, he was still vigorous. After summoning Enma, he actually held back both the Lightning Shadow and the Earth Shadow.

Of course, Enma's massive build and Adamantine Staff were also a tremendous help.

Every strike was heavy and powerful. He fiercely attacked the Lightning Shadow's lower body, and even when clashing head-on with him, he did not fall behind.

Their fierce battle did not affect the clash between the Earth Shadow and the Hokage.

They had been old rivals for many years. Their strength was almost evenly matched.

There was no unnecessary talk.

They immediately unleashed powerful Earth Style and terrifying Fire Style techniques against each other.

Earth Style: Rock Fist Technique VS Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Earth Style: Added-Weight Rock Technique vs Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet

A series of explosions erupted across the battlefield,

but the battle-hardened Sarutobi Hiruzen used the Five Release Great Combo Technique just as the smoke and dust were about to clear.

As he raised his hand, the Shadow Clone Jutsu summoned four clones that coordinated with one another.

They respectively used Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, and Wind Ninjutsu, attacking the Earth Shadow simultaneously.

The Earth Shadow also sensed the approaching danger.

Earth Style: Rock Statue.

The next moment, a gigantic rock figure suddenly rose from the ground.

It blocked the Great Combo Technique.

Within dozens of zhang of the two men's battle, no one dared approach.

Meanwhile, Ino–Shika–Chō, together with the Hyuga clan head, was also putting up an impressive fight. They had actually suppressed the Water Shadow, Yagura Karatachi, completely.

Even the Water Shadow's Water Mirror Technique was shattered.

But anyone with sharp eyes could tell

that Yagura Karatachi had no intention of fighting. He was moving toward the Hidden Leaf Village while fighting.

It seemed that this was not his true target.

Yet the group's combined attacks pressed him harder at every step.

The one-eyed masked man hidden in the distance furrowed his brow.

He made a decision immediately.

He controlled the Water Shadow to release the Three-Tails, and the situation instantly changed.

Water Style Ninjutsu in the hands of the half-tailed-beast-transformed Water Shadow became twice as powerful.

Water Style: Isobu Iron Cannonball.

Powerful cannonballs like Tailed Beast Bombs shot toward the four of them one after another.

Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms, Meat Tank Yo-Yo.

Bang! Boom!

After several consecutive explosions, the three members of Ino–Shika–Chō and the Hyuga clan head were all blasted away.

The half-tailed-beast-transformed Water Shadow did not linger in battle.

His objective was clear.

He charged straight toward the Hidden Leaf Village.

Everyone looked at the tailed-beast-transformed Water Shadow, fear rising in their eyes.

This time, the alliance of great Ninja Villages had come prepared. They were determined to succeed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the Water Shadow speeding away.

Anxious in his heart...

he shouted, "Fall back and defend the Hidden Leaf Village!"

In an instant, a group of people chased after the Water Shadow.

But how could the Earth Shadow possibly allow Sarutobi Hiruzen to leave?

Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.

After pressing his hands together,

he formed a transparent cubic barrier between his palms. As it expanded, the Earth Shadow hurled it at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi knew the terror of this Bloodline Limit and did not confront it head-on.

He repeatedly used the Body Flicker Technique to retreat.

The Five Release Great Combo Technique was unleashed once more,

then his hands rapidly formed seals without stopping.

Shadow Clone Jutsu. As he summoned four clones to coordinate with one another,

they quickly took up positions in four directions.

"This is... the Four Red Yang Formation."

No.

That killing formation required four Kage-level experts to set up.

This was an improved version—the Pseudo-Red Yang Formation.

As he spoke, he flashed out of the Red Yang Formation's range.

With an angry roar, he shouted, "Explode!"

The next second,

Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique exploded inside the Red Yang Formation.

The powerful shockwave slammed directly against the Pseudo-Red Yang Formation.

It held for only a few seconds.

Then the Red Yang Formation shattered like glass.

The aftershock spread across a range of more than a thousand meters.

Yet no one noticed a kunai that had appeared from nowhere flying out of the void, shooting straight toward Sarutobi Hiruzen's lower back.

To avoid the even more dangerous aftermath of the Dust Release explosion,

he forcibly took the relatively minor damage from that kunai.

But the next second,

an explosion erupted at Sarutobi's waist.

Boom.

Within the massive cloud of smoke,

"Damn it!"

"You actually ambushed a sixty-year-old man, and even used a kunai engraved with an explosive tag."

"And you specifically targeted my weak point."

As the smoke dispersed,

Sarutobi Hiruzen staggered backward. The enormous shield in front of him had been pierced through.

Blood poured from his waist, but he had no time to feel the pain.

His eyes swept the surroundings.

Then he flashed away, chasing after the main force.

Clearly, even the Earth Shadow frowned at this unexpected scene.

He too chased after Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Only the battles of several jonin remained on the battlefield.

And among those jonin was the beautiful girl Mu had been longing for—Mabui.

Surrounded and attacked by several Hidden Leaf jonin, she was already beginning to run out of strength.

Fortunately, several people were guarding her side, so she had not yet been defeated.

At that moment, a strange kunai appeared from nowhere.

A fatal threat made Mabui's eyes widen, yet she had no idea where the danger was coming from.

By the time Mabui noticed it,

a kunai carrying an explosive tag was about to strike her.

"Get out of the way!"

That was all he had time to say.

Several explosions rang out around them in an instant.

With such terrifying destructive power, even an elite jonin would be blown to death.

However, at the instant the explosions rang out, Mabui felt a large hand grip her shoulder.

When she opened her eyes again, she had already appeared several hundred meters away.

Looking at the spot where she had just been standing, explosions were still going off.

Mabui covered her mouth and cried out, "How could this happen?"

"What kind of ability was that?"

And her companions in the village.

With that, she tried to rush into the blast zone to rescue them.

Mu grabbed Mabui's shoulder with a large hand, leaving her unable to move.

"Don't stop me. Let me save them."

"Wake up!"

In an explosion like that, they were all dead.

Sure enough, once the smoke and dust cleared.

Dozens of bodies lay scattered across the ground.

"They're all dead... Why did this happen?"

Only then did Mabui remember the person behind her.

Her nerves instantly tensed.

"Who are you?"
