Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 75 Increasingly Outrageous Reasoning

"No matter what you say, I still don't believe that person is Jing. That's all. Root has a lot of things to do, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Danzo got up and left.

Danzo!

"Alright, let him go."

Mitokado Homura originally wanted to persuade Danzo, but Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped him directly.

"Sun Slash".

"It's alright, Danzo needs to calm down. Let's continue the meeting."

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table and said.

"We can now basically confirm that the masked man named Afei is Jing. So what we need to do now is to figure out why they were resurrected, what their purpose is after being resurrected, and why they came to Konoha to steal the Book of Seals."

Orochimaru licked his lips and spoke.

"Teacher, I have a guess."

"What guess?"

"Perhaps, Senior Kagami came here for the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Impure World Reincarnation?! The technique developed by the Second Hokage that can revive the dead!"

As the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi had naturally read the Scroll of Seals, and he knew that there was such a forbidden technique in the Scroll of Seals.

"That's right. I speculate that Senior Jing was resurrected by someone or some force after his death."

However, their resurrection technique might have some flaws or limitations. Therefore, in order to perfect their technique, they wanted to steal the Book of Sealing and study the Impure World Reincarnation technique within it to refine their own.

At this point, Jiraiya raised his own question.

"But judging from what just happened, Senior Mirror who was resurrected doesn't seem to have any flaws."

"No, perhaps there are flaws, but he has concealed them."

Tsunade said thoughtfully.

"From the very beginning, he used the transformation technique to become Jiraiya. Even after his identity was revealed and he deactivated the transformation, he still put on a mask."

If the other person wore the mask to conceal their identity, then continuing to wear it after being exposed by the old man would have been pointless. However, they continued to wear the mask, which suggests that it served not only to conceal their identity but also to conceal their own flaws.

Hearing this, Orochimaru nodded in agreement.

"Teacher, do you remember what the Second Hokage told you about the unusual thing about the resurrected Izuna-senpai?"

When Orochimaru asked him this question, Hiruzen Sarutobi carefully recalled the events.

"Yes, my teacher told me that Uchiha Izuna, after being resurrected, seemed to have gained immortality, and even being pierced through the chest had no effect on him."

At this point, everyone understood. It was probably true, just as Orochimaru had said, that the method used to revive Uchiha Kagami and the others had flaws, which was why they wore masks. The reason Uchiha Kagami stole the Scroll of Seals was that he hoped to obtain the Impure World Reincarnation technique from the Scroll of Seals to perfect the revival jutsu.

The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.

Orochimaru continued.

"Teacher, so it seems that there is a mastermind behind all of this, who is resurrecting those powerful ninjas who have died, and he probably has a secret that we don't know about."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, things seem a bit serious."

What was initially thought to be a simple attack seems to have uncovered a much larger conspiracy when the clues are pieced together.

It can only be said that the conclusions they draw are becoming increasingly outrageous.

Just as the people of Konoha were struggling with this massive conspiracy, the true mastermind had already returned to the capital of the Land of Fire.

They successfully eliminated all the Cloud Village ninjas who participated in this mission, leaving only Yeruka and Yurubi alive.

"My lord, how should we return to Kumogakure to report this time?"

After disposing of the body, Yeluka asked a question.

They both survived, but unless they defect to Kumogakure now and become rogue ninjas, they will eventually have to return to Kumogakure to complete their mission, even if the mission fails.

"I've already figured out a solution. Take these things back and report."

Tetsuya took out several scrolls and handed them to the two of them.

"These contain some Konoha ninjutsu. You can say that you two stole them during the chaos. I think that should earn you some credit."

The two held the scroll in their hands with great joy.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Don't thank me yet, I have a task for you."

"Please give your orders, sir."

Tetsuya hooked his arms around their shoulders, one on each side, and said.

"I hope that you two will do well after returning to Kumogakure and strive to rise to the higher levels, becoming my eyes and ears in Kumogakure. Do you understand?"

"Whatever you need in Kumogakure, I will do my best to provide assistance. The higher you climb and the better you do, the more you can help me in the future."

"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"Very good, I believe you."

With that, Tetsuya released the two of them and patted them on the shoulder.

"You two should go back to Kumogakure when you have time. By the way, if you're interested in the ninjutsu on the scroll, you can learn it too."

"Thank you, sir."

After making arrangements for the two, Tetsuya left their base.

Chiba Manor, on the outskirts of the capital of the Land of Fire.

As the sun rose, dew still clung to the branches and leaves of the flowers, trees, and shuriken in the manor, while the sound of shurikens being thrown could already be heard in the open space.

"Nagato's ten rings, Konan's ten rings, Yahiko's ten rings."

Izuna walked past each wooden stake, checking whether the shuriken on the target had hit their mark.

The result was quite good, meeting Izuna's requirements.

"Very good. It seems that your training over this period of time has not been in vain, and you have made great progress."

"Yay! I told you I'm a genius!"

Yahiko put his hands on his hips, feeling very happy with his achievement.

"Oh? Really? Well then, you genius Yahiko, I have a mock exam here that covers three years of study and five years of business. Would you like to take a look?"

I heard that familiar, mischievous voice coming from behind me.

Yahiko shuddered involuntarily, a chill rising from his spine and shooting straight to the top of his head.

"Tetsu...ya...teacher!"

"Tetsuya-sensei."

Welcome back, teacher.

The three of them turned to look at the entrance of the manor.

Tetsuya squinted slightly, a smile on his face. He walked slowly from outside the manor, his hands behind his back.

"Have you missed me after a few days?"

The three of them lowered their heads in perfect unison, without answering the question.

Clearly, they had a great time during Zhe's absence.

After all, no child likes to be tormented by math problems. In this ninja world that reveres martial arts, they prefer practicing ninjutsu to solving math problems.

"Oh dear, you guys are really heartbreaking. I even brought you some delicious food. Since no one misses me, I'll just eat it all by myself."

As he spoke, Tetsuya took out all sorts of snacks from behind his back.

The three little devils' eyes lit up at the sight of food, and they immediately surrounded it.

"Of course I miss you, Tetsuya-sensei!"

We think of you every day you're not here.

"Tetsuya-sensei is the best."

"Haha, since you all miss me so much, then you can have all this food."

After receiving the food, the three of them immediately broke it up and started sharing it.

Just when the three were at their happiest.

"Eat up, eat up. After you finish eating, it will be time for me to check your homework. You haven't fallen behind in your studies these days, have you?"

"what--!"
