Chapter 69 The Book of Sealing! The Collector!
Konoha, the place where the Book of Seals is located.
Two ANBU members were guarding the outside, but while they were watching the Book of Seals, their attention was drawn to the Nine-Tails in the distance, and they were also a little anxious.
That's a nine-tailed fox, a legendary monster!
If possible, they also wanted to do their part, instead of just guarding the barrier of the Book of Seals.
They believed that the Book of Seals, protected by the Fourth Hokage's barrier, would be safe, and that they could also participate in stopping the Nine-Tails.
Originally, many of their companions were either evacuating the people or fighting against the Nine-Tails, but the two of them were ordered to stay here and guard the Book of Seals.
Gen Takuno stood on the rooftop looking down at the two people below. At this moment, his Kagura Mind's Eye was working at its maximum effect, confirming that the only people present were these two ANBU members.
"The defense is weaker than I thought," Gen Takuno murmured, before his figure quietly disappeared into the night.
When Gen Takuno reappeared, he was already behind the two of them.
"It's not good to be distracted while on guard duty." Gen Takuno's voice reached the ears of the two ANBU members.
In an instant, the two ANBU members' eyes widened, but before they could turn their heads, they felt a heavy blow to their heads and fell to the ground.
As he fell to the ground, they finally saw the black cloak and the fox mask.
But it was too late by then; they had completely lost consciousness.
Yuan Tuoye walked confidently into the room where the Book of Seals was located. Looking at the barrier in front of him, he felt a little headache and knew he would have to waste some time to break the barrier.
Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage lasted for quite some time, giving him enough time to break free.
outside world.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails was still roaring, and Konoha ninjas kept rushing forward in front of it, because their homeland was behind them and they had nowhere to retreat.
However, their power was no match for the Nine-Tails, and the number of dead and injured was increasing rapidly.
The Third Hokage felt his heart bleed as he watched this scene unfold. This was Konoha's foundation, and it might be severely damaged in the Nine-Tails' attack.
"Ape Demon! Drive it out of the village, and use your magic to transform!"
The Third Hokage said.
The white-furred monkey demon beside him instantly turned into a stick and fell into the hands of the Third Hokage.
"Enma, stretch out for me!" The Third Hokage shouted, channeling his own chakra into the monster.
In an instant, it seemed as if an eye had grown on the stick, and it became thicker, rapidly extending towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The staff quickly blocked the Nine-Tails' body. The weight of the Nine-Tails caused the staff to flex into an exaggerated arc, but in the end, the Nine-Tails was still pushed out of Konoha by the Third Hokage and his summoning beast.
"He's still got it," remarked Gen Takuno's shadow clone, who was observing everything.
But it was no use. The Third Hokage alone could not suppress the Nine-Tails, and the inability to suppress it meant that the Nine-Tails could not be sealed, even with the Reaper Death Seal.
It should be said that even Minato Namikaze might not have the ability to completely suppress the Nine-Tails. It is almost certain that he could defeat the Nine-Tails, but suppressing and defeating are not the same thing. Perhaps Kushina Uzumaki would still need to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to suppress the Nine-Tails.
Meanwhile, the shadow clone responsible for evacuating the people also received the news, took a deep breath, and ran out of the village.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" another member of the ANBU shouted after seeing this.
"I'm the leader of the sealing team; they might need me to seal the Nine-Tails."
The ANBU looked at Gen Takuno's figure with admiration in their eyes, and then said softly.
"Then I wish you good luck."
After saying that, he rejoined the group evacuating the people.
"Minato Namikaze's barrier is really hard to break." Gen Takuno stretched and yawned. If Minato hadn't given him some knowledge of barrier-type sealing techniques before, it might have taken him even longer this time.
Now, looking at the Book of Seals that stood completely unobstructed before him, his eyes burned with fervor.
However, looking at the curse marks on the Book of Seals, he realized that taking it directly might lead to his location being compromised, especially since Minato Namikaze might leave his Flying Thunder God mark on it.
While pondering, he also opened the huge scroll and formed a hand seal.

"Water Release: Reappearance Technique!"
In an instant, countless drops of water enveloped the Book of Seals, covering each and every character.
Yuan Tuoye also took out the new reel he had prepared. As he looked at the words that appeared on the previously blank reel, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, Reaper Death Seal, Eight Gates Released Formation, Spirit Transformation Technique, Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, Impure World Reincarnation, and some experimental records that are probably from the Second Hokage.
It was truly a very rewarding experience.
Gen Takuno looked at these ninjutsu; each one was a rare and precious technique.
As for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, forget about it. That's practically Naruto's signature ninjutsu. Although he can use it, he generally won't waste that chakra.
Yuan Tuoye stared at the Flying Thunder God Technique for a long time, but quickly shook his head, knowing his own talent.
If it's just about reaction, he can rely on Lightning Release. But he probably doesn't have the talent for space-time manipulation. He can try it later, but if he really can't even get started, then forget it.
The remaining corpse seals, the mutual explosion tags, and the Impure World Reincarnation were all useless to him now.
The Reaper Death Seal without the Uzumaki clan's Shinigami Mask is a suicide sealing technique. He originally thought this technique wasn't in the Book of Sealing, but it turns out it is. It must have been left behind by Minato Namikaze after he became the Fourth Hokage.
As for the Mutual Explosion Tags, their power is indeed impressive, but they are essentially suicidal ninjutsu and are usually used in conjunction with the Impure World Reincarnation.
While the Impure World Reincarnation technique is indeed powerful in the original work, having to spend his days like Orochi and Kabuto collecting materials in various graveyards, and lacking a White Zetsu as a host, would result in a significant decrease in the strength of those resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation.
Therefore, the most effective techniques for him at present are the Eight Gates Formation and the Spirit Transformation Technique.
It should be said that Genji Takuno's original goal was the Spirit Transformation Technique! The Eight Gates Formation was merely an unexpected bonus.
Originally, Gen Takuno's plan was to find an opportunity to exchange the Spirit Transformation Technique from Minato Namikaze later. Unexpectedly, he not only obtained the Spirit Transformation Technique, but also the entire ninjutsu of the Book of Sealing!
He looked at the specific requirements for the Spirit Transformation Technique. He wasn't sure how talented he was at it. His spiritual power, specifically Yin Escape, shouldn't be weak, so he was probably qualified to learn the Spirit Transformation Technique.
A determined look appeared in his eyes. No matter how difficult it was, he was determined to learn the art of spiritification. This was a crucial step in his plan!
Even the numerous preparations he made in the Land of Snow were merely a byproduct of this purpose.
However, now, Gen Takuya put away the scroll and placed the huge Book of Sealing in an inconspicuous corner with the two unconscious ANBU members.
After doing all this, Gen Takuno once again headed towards the residence where Hyuga, the group leader, was located.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yuan Tuono's pupils contracted. In that instant, he felt the chilling aura of death.
At that moment, a hand reached out from the space and almost touched Yuan Tuoye from behind.
At that moment, the chakra in Gen Takuno's body went berserk, transforming into a giant snake that enveloped him.
As the giant snake enveloped Yuan Tuoye, it also lunged at the man in black who had suddenly appeared behind him.
"Your reaction time is still so fast."
A somewhat familiar voice rang in Yuan Tuoye's ears.
At this moment, he quickly moved away from his original spot and looked towards the source.
Then he saw Obito Uchiha wearing a mask in the distance, looking at the Peacock Technique on his body with a headache.
How come this person has so many ninjutsu that are impossible to touch? And his Kamui requires physical contact with the opponent to activate.
"Is this the Peacock Technique from the Star Village? It seems you've gone to steal that meteorite from them again," Obito Uchiha said. Although he didn't have much knowledge, the White Zetsu he possessed had a lot.
"It's you. It has been a long time." Yuan Tuoye also stopped and looked at Uchiha Obito, suppressing his inner fear and speaking casually.
After a year, Obito Uchiha should have become familiar with his body and Kamui, and his ninjutsu skills must have improved as well. It would be virtually impossible for him to gain any further advantage from his opponent.
"Heh, long time no see? I remember it very clearly, you snatched my arm from me." Obito Uchiha's eyes also revealed a fierce look, as if he was still holding a grudge about it.
Although one arm can be fully restored, it was his first time doing something, and the other party made it more difficult for him to persuade Nagato!
If given the chance, he really wanted to kill the other person.
"Well, that time was just a fluke. I couldn't do anything about you, so I could only think of other ways~" Yuan Tuoye said with a smile.
"snort!"
Obito Uchiha also snorted coldly.
Gen Takuno glanced at the Nine-Tails in the distance and said, "You created the Nine-Tails in Konoha, didn't you? That's impressive. I had no idea where it was."
"No need to pretend, you're a member of Konoha too! Your shurikenjutsu was invented by the Third Hokage, and your Wind Release: Vacuum Wave is a signature ninjutsu of the Shimura clan."
Obito Uchiha said that he had learned some new knowledge from White Zetsu after that, and that the White Zetsu used the most Konoha-style ninjutsu!
"Hmm? Maybe." Yuan Tuoye didn't deny it and shrugged.
"Actually, I should thank you. Konoha's defenses are really strong. We got too little last time, but this time, thanks to you, I got a lot of good stuff," Gen Takuno said sincerely.
"You—" Obito Uchiha was a little unsure at this moment.
The other party does know Konoha's unique ninjutsu, but also Hoshigakure's ninjutsu and Kirigakure's ninjutsu. In addition, the other party has a hobby of collecting strange things. Can we really determine which country the other party is from?
If the other party denied being a member of Konoha, Obito Uchiha might have thought it even more likely. But now, the other party's answer was ambiguous, as if they didn't care at all that their identity had been exposed.
"I'm going to the Hyuga clan's place next. You're not going to try to stop me, are you?" Gen Takuno asked, sizing up Uchiha Obito. "Are you related to the Hyuga clan?"
Obito Uchiha fell silent for a moment, then said, "I have no connection with the Hyuga clan. You went to the Hyuga clan because of their Byakugan?"
"Of course, their Byakugan is also a very rare thing. It seems that only the Hidden Mist Village has one in the entire ninja world, so I'm wondering if we can take another one when the Nine-Tails comes out," Gen Takuno replied.
"You really do have a deep love for strange things." It was hard to tell whether Obito Uchiha was praising or criticizing him.
"Since you're not from the Hyuga clan, let's make a deal. You won't stop me, will you?" Minamoto Takuno said at this moment.
"Collector, I would like to invite you to join me," Obito Uchiha suddenly said.
After exchanging a few words with the other party, his initial anger towards him gradually subsided.
Then he remembered that he still needed to recruit talent for the newly formed Akatsuki organization.
He highly recognized Gen Takuno's strength, and the fact that Gen Takuno wanted any treasure and didn't care about anything else suited his requirements for recruiting members.
Even if the other party might be from Konoha, so what? Look at what he's doing now, how is it beneficial to Konoha?
At this moment, Gen Takuno was truly surprised. He never expected that Obito Uchiha would invite him to join the Akatsuki organization.
However, he had no intention of joining that organization at the moment, so he directly refused, saying, "I don't want to risk my life for others. Wouldn't it be better to collect the treasures I want myself?"
As he spoke, Yuan Tuoye stroked his chin and said, "Collector, is that a nickname they gave me? It's not bad. From now on, my nickname will be Collector!"
"Is that so? If you change your mind later, you can come to the Land of Rain to find me or Nagato. We have quite a lot of treasures there." Uchiha Obito said, then disappeared from Minamoto no Takuno's sight.
If the other party simply enjoys collecting treasures around the world, then there's no need to make them an enemy.
Moreover, he didn't want to start a direct battle with Gen Takuno here.
Although Minato Namikaze should be dealing with the Nine-Tails, who knows if the Nine-Tails might suddenly use the Flying Thunder God Technique and then hit him with a Rasengan? If it's his head this time, he won't be able to withstand it.
"Space-time ninjutsu, what a convenient ninjutsu." Gen Takuno exclaimed again, cold sweat still clinging to his forehead.
