Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 131 The Book of Seals

Meanwhile, at dusk, in a residence on the Konoha Village food street.

Suzuki, sensing that his clone had obtained the artificial Devil Fruit technology from Vegapunk, smiled slightly.

He then went to the bedroom, took out paper and pen, sat down at the table, and looked deep in thought.

In the world of One Piece, on the boundless azure sea, the clone sat in the middle of a small silver-white metal boat, taking out the document on artificial Devil Fruit technology and carefully reading it word by word.

At the same time, Suzuki, with a slight smile in his eyes, sat at the table and diligently copied down the text, synchronizing his memories with his clone!

In the quiet bedroom, only the soft sound of pen and paper writing could be heard.

After a long while, Suzuki looked at the fully copied document on the table, and his expression returned to calm.

He picked up the paper covered with writing and carefully compared it to see if there were any omissions.

The still-wet ink emitted a faint fragrance, and a gentle breeze from outside blew into the bedroom through a slightly ajar window, carrying the scent towards Suzuki.

"There are no mistakes. It seems I can take it back to base once I've finished my business."

"I wonder how far those researchers have come in understanding Devil Fruits. I hope they can understand this technology as soon as possible."

After a thorough inspection, Suzuki found no errors or omissions, and his eyes lingered as he thought of the researchers still in the Ark.

Then, he gathered his thoughts, carefully folded the paper in half, and stuffed it into his chest pocket.

Suzuki stood up from his chair and calmly activated his Observation Haki.

In an instant, he took in the entire Hidden Leaf Village and the surrounding area of ​​nearly a hundred miles!

Suzuki's eyes flashed as he sensed the group of Konoha officials at the village entrance, receiving envoys from the Land of Lightning.

He then entered the elemental form of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, transforming into a ball of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by an extremely faint crackling sound of electricity, his figure vanished instantly from the bedroom...

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

Suzuki entered the Third Hokage's office in the Hokage Building without any hindrance!

The speed is so fast that it is invisible to the naked eye.

The ANBU ninjas guarding downstairs and outside the door were completely unaware of his arrival, and even continued to perform their guard duties with extremely serious expressions.

In the Hokage's office, Suzuki looked at the empty room, his eyes deep as he surveyed the room's layout.

There was an ordinary-looking wooden table, a few chairs, and nearby were some bookshelves similar to those in ordinary homes, filled with books.

Many of Konoha Village's confidential documents are stored in this seemingly ordinary room.

"Let me think..."

"Where does Hiruzen Sarutobi hide the scroll of forbidden techniques?"

Suzuki's mind raced, scenes from the original work flashing through his mind, trying to find a trace of memory about the location of the forbidden scroll.

Before long, his gaze settled on the Hokage chair that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, often sat in.

Suzuki walked calmly to the chair, simultaneously using his Observation Haki and chakra to sense the surroundings, while his gaze swept around the area.

A moment later, Suzuki smiled as he looked at a hidden compartment next to his desk.

He bent down slightly, stretched out his arm, and just as he was about to touch the hidden compartment, his hand crackled with lightning.

Just as Suzuki's lightning-sparkling fingertips touched the seemingly ordinary wooden compartment, an extremely hard, transparent chakra shield appeared out of thin air, blocking Suzuki's fingers!

At the same time, with the appearance of the transparent protective shield, the various sealing spells attached to the hidden compartment were also triggered!

Dark purple chains extended from the hidden compartment and swiftly wrapped around Suzuki's arm!

Strange curse marks bearing unknown black characters suddenly appeared from every corner of the office!

Countless incantations, densely packed like ants, enveloped the entire room, emitting a dark, eerie light!

An aura of danger instantly filled the room!

Looking at the dark purple chains that were gradually wrapping around them, and the black curse marks that were about to attack from all around.

The next moment, a white light flashed in Suzuki's pupils, and the lightning on his arm suddenly became incredibly dazzling!

The lightning even penetrated the wooden walls, illuminating the entire Hokage Building as if it were daytime!

Bang! ! !

The chakra shield was shattered by this overwhelming force!

The dense array of incantations floating in mid-air in the office also stirred up simultaneously in an instant!

The alarm in the Hokage Building suddenly went off, a loud and piercing sound that woke up the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

"this……"

"Oh no! Enemies have infiltrated!"

"Quickly! Go and inform the Hokage!!!"

The ANBU ninjas responsible for guarding the Hokage Building stared in horror at the building illuminated by lightning.

At the same moment, countless ordinary villagers cooking at home, and a large number of idle ninjas who had not done their missions or had finished their missions, all looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"What's going on? Are there enemies?"

"Stay alert! Don't panic, protect the villagers first!"

"Quick! Go check it out!"

"Where are the Anbu? Where are they all?"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Who on earth has the audacity to invade Konoha?!"

The civilian ninjas and clans in Konoha Village were all incredibly angry at this moment!

However, in the next instant...

Bang! ! !

"Wait...look, the Hokage Building is on fire..."

In an instant, flames shot out and the violent explosion shattered the entire building into pieces!

Accompanied by intense flames, countless shards of glass and wood chips spread outwards!

"ah--"

The ANBU ninjas who were preparing to go in to investigate and capture the infiltrated enemy were also affected by the violent explosion and were instantly blown into bloody foam!

The Hokage Building, located in the heart of Konoha Village and symbolizing the power center of the number one ninja village in the ninja world, which housed all kinds of confidential documents from past generations, was completely destroyed at this moment!

"this……."

"The Hokage Building has exploded!!!"

The ninjas who were rushing towards this place at all their might suddenly stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with utter horror!

And at this moment...

Inside the Hokage's office.

The room was like a ruin, with intense heat and strange sealing techniques mixed together.

These densely packed, ant-like seals suddenly erupted with a dark, ghostly light, and in the next instant, they sealed the entire office, along with the invisible, intangible raging flames!

however……

The office was completely empty!

Five thousand meters above the Hokage Building, Suzuki calmly glanced at the faintly visible small flames below, the silvery-white light in his eyes gradually fading.

The already bustling and lively Konoha Village has become even noisier now, with the cacophony of shouts reaching as high as 5,000 meters in the sky.

However, Suzuki paid no attention to these noises.

He looked towards the entrance to Konoha Village, where Hiruzen Sarutobi was leading a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials in receiving the envoy from Kumogakure.

A slight smile appeared on Suzuki's lips.

The reason why the Third Hokage was not in the Hokage's office, and why the Hidden Cloud Village sent an envoy, stemmed from his casual scheme.

Suzuki lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the forbidden technique scroll in his hand, which contained almost all of Konoha Village's forbidden techniques.

This scroll is called the Book of Seals.

It contains records of powerful ninjutsu such as the Reaper Death Seal, Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation, Spirit Transformation Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and many others created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Suzuki once used Observation Haki to learn many ninjutsu in Konoha Village.

However, that's because someone in the village was using, or practicing and learning those ninjutsu, which is why they were able to learn them as well.

However, many of the forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Seals are never used by anyone under normal circumstances.

Apart from the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Minato Namikaze practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique at the training ground, all other forbidden techniques are secretly sealed away in the sealing techniques, and no one trains or learns them in the village.

Not long ago, after the seventeenth comeback.

Suzuki encountered a bottleneck in the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, or rather, he touched the barrier before awakening!

Therefore, he thought of the many forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Seals, which might bring him some surprises.

however……

The Third Hokage of Konoha was very dedicated to his work.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is already in his fifties, often stays in the Hokage's office until late at night, and sometimes even spends the night there.

The time I leave the office each day is not fixed, and even the Sarutobi clan's territory and the Hokage Building are not very far apart.

There are also many powerful Konoha high-ranking officials and Jonin who often roam around the area.

If they try to steal the Book of Seals while Hiruzen Sarutobi is sleeping, and something goes wrong and they get trapped for a moment, it will cause a lot of trouble.

After all, it takes time to find something.

To ensure sufficient safety and to prevent any accidents.

Therefore, Suzuki made some preparations well in advance.

The reason why the Hidden Cloud Village sent an envoy this time was to send back the son of the Third Hokage, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu—Shinnosuke Sarutobi!

Without a doubt, Suzuki's plan succeeded.

The attention of Konoha's higher-ups was drawn to the envoy sent by Kumogakure, and even many of the Jonin stationed in the village went to the village entrance with him.

The level of security and vigilance at the Hokage Building was reduced to a minimum.

"The Book of Seals..."

"Now that we have the goods, it's time to return to base."

Standing five thousand meters above the ground, looking down at the tiny black dots below, Suzuki regained his composure and carefully put away the Book of Seals.

Then, his figure transformed into a silver-white streak of light and flew towards the Land of Waves!

……

On the other side, at the main gate of Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was leading a group of Konoha village officials to receive envoys from Kumogakure.

He looked at his son, who had clearly lost a lot of weight, and sighed inwardly, then felt a pang of heartache.

Not long ago, Hiruzen Sarutobi assigned Shinnosuke a task—to investigate the Shinobi World News!

He thought there wouldn't be any problems with this, after all, his son was quite capable.

However, for some unknown reason, Sarutobi Shinnosuke suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in Kumogakure.

This news was actually proactively communicated to Konoha by the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Third Raikage, A, used the hostages in his hands as leverage to make numerous outrageous demands that were unacceptable to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After a period of negotiations, Konoha paid a price to bring Sarutobi Shinnosuke back.

Strangely, although the Hidden Cloud Village initially appeared unreasonable and domineering during the negotiations, it suddenly became quite generous later on.

The Hidden Cloud Village lowered its demands significantly and then made a request that greatly surprised the higher-ups of the Hidden Leaf Village—an alliance!

However, even knowing there might be some conspiracy involved, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, ultimately agreed.

After all, this is his own son.

Moreover, before this, Konoha had already offended Iwagakure and Kirigakure.

The reason is that Onoki's son, the Third Tsuchikage, and Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, inexplicably appeared at one of Danzo Shimura's Root research bases.

News of the two being captured by Danzo spread throughout the entire ninja world.

Suddenly, Konoha seemed to be surrounded by enemies. Before they could even explain the White Fang incident, they were smeared with a whole bucket of dirty water.

In order to preserve Konoha's reputation, and also to show respect for its allies.

That's why Hiruzen Sarutobi made such a grand entrance this time, bringing almost all of Konoha's high-ranking officials with him to welcome the envoy from Kumogakure.

The Third Hokage suppressed his heartache for his son and spoke to the envoy from Kumogakure in a kind tone.

"How has your Raikage been feeling lately?"

"Hahaha, very good, thank you for your concern, Hokage. Our Raikage has always been very healthy!"

"Really? That's good, that's good. Unlike me, sigh~ I feel so old."

"No way, the Hokage looks just as energetic as ever!"

"Hehe, thank you so much for Shinnosuke's matter this time. Since Kumogakure has chosen to ally with Konoha, please rest assured! We in Konoha have always been extremely friendly to our friends!"

"Of course, we in Kumogakure have always been friendly to our friends!"

"Hehe, that's good, the past..."

"..."

Just as the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was having a pleasant conversation with the envoy from Kumogakure...

bang——

Suddenly, the alarm sounded in the Hokage Building of Konoha Village, followed by an extremely loud explosion!

"???"

The friendly conversation between Hiruzen Sarutobi and the envoy from Kumogakure was interrupted in an instant!
