"Where was it? Could it be somewhere other than the Hokage Building? Did that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi hide it at home? No, wasn't it usually kept in the Hokage Building? Were all those novels I read just making things up?"
Disguised as Jiraiya, Tetsuya searched the Hokage Building for the Scroll of Seals, but he found nothing after checking several places.
"Lord Jiraiya, when did you get back?"
As soon as he pushed open a door, a ninja sorting and filing documents spotted "Jiraiya" standing in the doorway.
"Ahahaha."
Tetsuya let out a couple of hearty laughs, imitating Jiraiya.
"Not long ago. I just came from the old man's office. He wanted me to find something."
"What are you looking for? Perhaps I can help you."
"Well, I've been researching a new Ninjutsu lately, but I'm stuck for ideas. The old man told me to take a look at the Scroll of Seals, but I've forgotten where it is."
"The Scroll of Seals? I know where it is. Please follow me."
The ninja led Tetsuya to an unremarkable-looking room.
"Here we are. I'll take my leave now. There are some things I'm not supposed to see."
The ninja who had guided him bowed slightly to Tetsuya, then turned and left.
"In here? It doesn't look particularly special."
Curious, Tetsuya activated his Sharingan. One look was all it took to give him a shock.
Good grief. That ordinary-looking room was filled with chakra fluctuations from all kinds of special barriers and sealing jutsu.
If he failed to follow the proper procedure to undo them, he would probably trigger the seals and barriers inside.
Tetsuya might not have had much else going for him, but he had lived a long time, and he liked to research various sealing jutsu and ninjutsu whenever
