Hanabi was fiery from the moment she opened her mouth, her voice so loud it startled the birds flying in the corridor.
"What were you doing last night? Why did you set up such a thick barrier around the room and add such a powerful seal?!"
She grew angrier as she spoke, stomped her foot hard, pointed at Uchiha Xin, and loudly questioned him.
"I used my Tenseigan to search for a long time, but I couldn't find even the slightest gap; there's no way I can get in."
"Are you doing something shady in the room behind our backs?!"
Uchiha Xin stood there, listening to her self-righteous questioning, and was immediately speechless and exasperated.
He deliberately set up a high-level barrier to prevent the other party from spying, but in the end, it turned out to be his own fault.
The other party, having failed to spy on us secretly in the middle of the night, instead brazenly came to our door to cause trouble; this is simply too arrogant.
"This girl is getting more and more out of control; she's practically climbing on the roof and tearing off tiles if you don't discipline her for three days."
Uchiha Xin took a deep breath and pulled his hands out of his pockets.
He decided to teach the unruly Hanabi a lesson.
Otherwise, no one in the Moon Palace will be able to restrain her from now on.
"Ha, you little brat, you actually dare to question me?"
Uchiha Xin gave a cold laugh, a dangerous glint flashing in his deep eyes, and walked step by step toward Hanabi.
When Hanabi saw his expression, she immediately panicked.
Her keen intuition, granted by her Tenseigan, made her sense something was wrong, and a feeling of unease rose from the bottom of her heart.
"You... what do you want? I'm warning you, I possess the Tenseigan..."
Hanabi subconsciously took half a step back, her original arrogance greatly diminished, and she even began to stammer.
Before she could finish speaking, Uchiha Xin moved swiftly, appearing before her like a ghost in an instant.
He didn't use any Chakra, relying solely on the speed and power brought by the Power of the Extreme Path.
He reached out and grabbed Hanabi's arm.
"Ah!"
Hanabi cried out in surprise, feeling a sudden dizziness.
The next second, she was easily lifted up and laid horizontally on Uchiha Xin's lap.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
A series of crisp slapping sounds rang out, echoing throughout the room and corridor.
"Ah! Let me go!"
Hanabi was caught off guard and struggled desperately like a fish, her face flushed and burning with shame and anger.
"You're bullying me! You big bad guy! You pervert!"
So what if I bully you?
Uchiha Xin didn't stop; he raised his hand and brought it down again.
Snap!
"He sneaks in at night to spy on people, trespasses into other people's rooms, and even makes a lot of noise."
"I'll teach you a lesson you'll learn today."
Hanabi, as the second young lady of the Hyuga Main Family, had always been protected by everyone and had never suffered such grievances.
Her eyes reddened, and she gritted her teeth, threatening through gritted teeth, enduring the pain.
"Waaah... You just wait! I'm going to tell Hinata that you bullied me!"
"Go ahead, huh."
Uchiha Xin chuckled dismissively, his tone full of indifference.
"You think I'm afraid of Hinata?"
"If things really get out of hand, she might even stand by and watch me teach you a lesson."
Hanabi was momentarily speechless; she knew in her heart that what the other person said was not a lie.
After finishing with the Hanabi, Uchiha Xin left the moon.
Beneath Konoha, in the secret archives of the Anbu ).
The heavy iron door was twisted and deformed by a powerful force, and was discarded in the corner of the corridor like scrap metal.
Uchiha Xin casually placed a dusty scroll aside and patted the dust off his hands.
His gaze finally settled on the last dark red scroll on the table, which was wrapped in multiple layers of seals.
"After searching for so long, I finally found it."
He gathered azure Chakra at his fingertips and easily sliced open the composite seal on the outer layer of the scroll.
This kind of seal, which can stump ordinary Jonin, is useless against him.
The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a densely packed collection of top-secret information left behind by the successive Hokage of Konoha.
Uchiha Xin quickly scanned the text, his gaze finally settling on the detailed record of the Reaper Death Seal.
"Just as I guessed."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and muttered to himself.
"When the Nine-Tails' Attack occurred, Minato Namikaze used the Reaper Death Seal to protect Konoha."
"He sealed the Nine-Tails ' Yin Release Chakra, along with his own soul, into the Reaper's belly."
Uchiha Xin gently touched his chin.
The Chakra sun above the Moon Palace is composed of the original Chakra of the four Tailed Beast and their Shadow Clone.
Its defensive capabilities are indeed terrifying, but the system indicates that it is not yet fully developed.
To complete the final transformation, the other half of the Nine-Tails Chakra must be gathered.
Naruto possessed only the Yang Release Nine-Tails chakra, while Minato Namikaze's soul contained the Yin Release Nine-Tails Chakra, which he was determined to obtain.
"To extract Minato Namikaze's soul and the Nine-Tails Chakra, we must first break the Reaper Death Seal."
Uchiha Xin memorized the steps to unseal the scroll, then raised his hand and turned the entire scroll to ashes.
With his hands in his pockets, he vanished from the archives in a flash.
Half an hour later, on the outskirts of Konoha, deep in a deserted forest.
A dilapidated shrine stood alone amidst the weeds.
The walls were mottled and peeling, and the roof tiles were broken and scattered all over the ground, exuding a gloomy and desolate atmosphere.
This is the Mask Storage Temple, left behind by the Uzumaki Clan.
Uchiha Xin stepped into the dimly lit main room.
The wall directly in front of us is covered with masks of all sizes and bizarre shapes.
The masks, with their blue faces and fangs, seemed to come alive in the dim light, staring intently at the intruder.
Uchiha Xin's gaze swept across the wall, quickly locking onto the hideous mask in the corner, a mask with two horns on its head and a short sword in its mouth.
"That's it."
He raised his hand and gently guided it; an invisible force drew the Reaper Mask into his hand.
According to ancient texts, to break the Reaper Death Seal and summon the Reaper, the caster must wear a mask and accept the Reaper's possession.
Reaper will cut open the practitioner's abdomen to release the devoured soul; this is a forbidden technique that trades life for life.
Uchiha Xin would naturally not risk his own body.
With a thought, ripples spread through the space behind him.
thump!
A burly man with a fierce face, tightly bound by ropes, fell heavily onto the dusty ground.
This was a missing-nin committed numerous atrocities on the black market, his hands stained with the blood of countless innocent people. He was someone Uchiha Xin captured along the way.
The missing-nin awoke with a start, looking around at the eerie surroundings.
And the young man in front of him wearing a strange mask made him tremble with fear.
"What... what do you want to do!"
"My lord, spare my life! I'm willing to hand over all the valuables from the exchange shop, please spare my life!"
Uchiha Xin looked down at him, his tone flat and devoid of any emotion.
"I don't want your money, I just need you to help me perform a few hand seals and put on the mask."
" Hand Seals? Wearing a mask?"
The missing-nin was stunned for a moment, before he could react.
