Iruka's voice sounded outside the door: - "Mizuki, it's an emergency. Sasuke stole a [Scroll of Seals] from Naruto's house and hid somewhere."
Mizuki:
- "??"
- "What the hell?"
- "Was there a mistake in the name? Why was it Sasuke who stole a [Scroll of Seals], not Naruto?"
- "Moreover, why is a [Scroll of Seals] in Naruto's home?"
He hurriedly opened the door and asked:
- "Iruka, what's going on?"
Iruka said:
- "I don't know the specifics. It was a news from an ANBU. Now many people in the village know about it."
- "No matter what, we must find Sasuke and bring back the scroll of a [Scroll of Seals]!"
Mizuki was stunned.
This plot is very familiar.
Mizuki:
- "Isn't it exactly the same as the plot in the anime where Mizuki designs Naruto to steal a [Scroll of Seals]?"
In the anime, Mizuki deceived Naruto into stealing a [Scroll of Seals], and then spread the news throughout the village that Naruto had stolen a [Scroll of Seals].
It was obvious that there was something wrong with that ANBU.
Mizuki:
- "A [Scroll of Seals] of the Shodai is the most precious ninjutsu scroll in the village. It is really unforgivable for Sasuke to make such a mistake."
- "Does he want to defect with a [Scroll of Seals]?"
Iruka said:
- "As an Uchiha orphan, Sasuke's heart is full of hatred. He may have been bewitched by some kind and stole a [Scroll of Seals] in order to become stronger."
- "But with a [Scroll of Seals] in hand, the bewitched person will definitely tell him the importance of a [Scroll of Seals]. After he learns about it, he will be afraid of the punishment of the village and choose to defect."
- "Now, let's split up and look for him immediately. We must not let him defect successfully."
Mizuki nodded and said:
- "Okay, I'll change my clothes, pants and shoes and set off."
Iruka took the first step, and Mizuki turned around and entered the room, explaining:
- "Tsubaki, it's an urgent mission. I'm afraid that I'll be back late this tonight."
Tsubaki said:
- "Well, the mission is important!"
Mizuki put on his chuunin suit, and instead of heading out of the village like Iruka, he rushed towards the Uchiha clan.
Mizuki:
- "Sasuke at this time has not yet come into contact with Orochimaru, so he should not defect."
- "The most important thing is that a [Scroll of Seals] is definitely fake, so when Sasuke opens a [Scroll of Seals] and finds out that it is fake, he will not defect."
This is his judgment. Whether it is right or not depends on the result.
Originally this matter had nothing to do with him, but now that he encountered it, he decided to intervene.
The purpose is to accept Sasuke as a disciple and get more opportunities for apprenticeship and return.
To recruit a disciple, you must first make contact.
He jumped on the roof and moved quickly towards the Uchiha clan.
There are also many ninjas in action in the village, looking for traces of Sasuke. But they all thought Sasuke was going to defect and looked outside the village. Only Mizuki did the opposite.
Soon, the Uchiha tribe arrived.
The empty streets were silent. Two figures, one large and one small, were confronting each other.
ANBU:
- "Sasuke-kun, a [Scroll of Seals] is the most important thing in Konoha. If you steal a [Scroll of Seals], Konoha will kill you."
- "Now you have the only option to defect from Konoha."
- "Lord Orochimaru is one of the former Sannin of Konoha. He is very powerful. The Sound Ninja Village he established welcomes you very much. When you arrive at the Sound Ninja Village, Lord Orochimaru will personally teach you. Your growing will improve by leaps and bounds. Within a few years, you will have the strength to take revenge."
Sasuke looked at the masked ANBU in front of him and asked directly:
- "Can Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, kill Itachi Uchiha?"
The opponent's breath suffocated and his movements froze.
Sasuke sneered:
- "Haha!"
- "Orochimaru can't kill Uchiha Itachi, but he falsely claims that he can train me to have the strength to kill Uchiha Itachi. It's a joke."
Sasuke's behavior has always been like this.
In the anime, he came into contact with Orochimaru in the Forest of Death and realized how powerful Orochimaru was, but he had no intention of defecting.
After Sandaime was killed by Orochimaru, he realized Orochimaru's power and had the idea of defecting.
When Kakashi was instantly defeated by Itachi, he realized that if he continued to practice with Kakashi, he would never be Itachi's opponent, so he decisively abandoned Kakashi and defected.
Sasuke:
- "In addition, this is not a [Scroll of Seals] filled with the [Forbidden Techniques] at all, but a prank fake created by Naruto."
- "What happened tonight was just a joke between Naruto and me."
- "So, I will not defect."
ANBU opposite smiled and said:
- "Now that things have come to this, since you are unwilling, I will knock you out and kidnap you directly."
- "But before that, the little mouse hiding in the dark must be dealt with."
As soon as he finished speaking, three shurikens flew out and shot towards the corner not far away like lightning.
In the corner, Mizuki looked at the shuriken in front of him and broke into a cold sweat.
Seeing that he was about to be hit at the next moment, he had a thought.
There was a "bang", white smoke flashed by, and the wooden block fell to the ground with a "bang".
At the critical moment, he used a [Substitute Technique] to avoid the attack.
ANBU:
- "Huh? When did you form the seal with the [Substitution Technique]?".
The other party was very surprised.
Mizuki squatted on the tree, recalling the feeling when he used the [Substitution Technique:Dispacement] just now, and he already understood something in his heart.
At this time, Sasuke had already taken advantage of the gap and hid in the house.
The ANBU didn't pay attention, but turned around to look for Mizuki's location:
- "It's well hidden, but it's of no use to me."
A snake emerged from his sleeve. Snake sniffed the air and then hissed towards where Mizuki was.
Fake ANBU:
- "Got you!"
Before he finished speaking, a kunai was shot towards Mizuki.
This time, Mizuki was much calmer. Seeing the kunai in front of him, the [Substitution Technique:Dispacement] was activated again.
There was a "bang" and white smoke appeared.
And in the white smoke, the sound of kunai entering flesh was heard.
When the white smoke dissipated, they saw the ANBU in the bushes with a kunai stuck in his throat.
Mizuki, on the other hand, appeared where the ANBU was standing just now.
The two people actually exchanged positions at that moment.
Mizuki:
- "Is this the effect of the [Substitution Technique:Dispacement]?"
