From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

“Even if someone discovered it, it was the masked man who stole the sealed book. It has nothing to do with me, Diarmait.” Diarmait said with a smile.

In the original story, it was outrageous that something like the Book of Sealing could be stolen by Uzumaki Naruto.

Especially, that teacher Mizuki, he actually knew the existence of the Sealed Book, and even found out where it was hidden and how to steal it... It's even more outrageous.

Is this something that any ninja can know?

Anyway, according to Orochimaru, ordinary jonin don't know about the existence of the Book of Sealing. Only the direct descendants of Hokage know something about it. Just like Minato Namikaze before, he once obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Book of Sealing.

Can Mizuki be compared with someone like Minato Namikaze?

Obviously not.

Therefore, Diarmait was very willing to believe that this Book of Seals was a trap set by Sarutobi Hiruzen from the beginning, perhaps to secretly compensate Uzumaki Naruto, and then naturally get rid of 2.9 Mizuki, the scum teacher of the Ninja School.

"You old bastard." Diarmait smacked his lips.

However, the Book of Seals will soon be lost. I hope Sarutobi Hiruzen can hold on.

Diarmait smiled, then turned and walked towards the stairs.

Tonight in Konoha, the drizzle and wind are a bit noisy.

But for the vast majority of villagers and ninjas, this was no different from any other day. It was still a peaceful, ordinary day.

But they didn't know that a huge conspiracy and attack was about to happen.

They also didn't know that the wife of their beloved Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was giving birth at this time.

According to the prophecy of Mount Myoboku, the child of destiny who can change and guide the entire world is about to be born.

In the corridor on the top floor of the Hokage Building, Diarmait's gaze naturally turned to one place, with surprise and exclamation in his eyes.

If Uchiha Obito were here, he would definitely find that the place he was looking at was Kushina's secret delivery base.

But the problem is, he didn't tell Diarmait this information! ?

"Is that Ashura's chakra?" Diarmuid murmured softly.

With his powerful perception, under the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, he could see an extremely large amount of chakra gathering in the sky above where his gaze was directed. The chakra seemed to be waiting for a new master.

Chapter 605 The Night of the Scarlet Nine-Tailed Fox Begins.

The village of Konoha is very large. At the very edge, there is a dense forest valley, close to the later famous Death Forest.

And in this valley, there is a cave, which was secretly built by the Anbu not long ago under the order of Minato Namikaze. It is the place where Uzumaki Kushina gave birth.

A Mingshen Gate was built at the entrance of the valley cave. In the middle of the Mingshen Gate, there was a word "jie" (knot), which represented a small protective barrier.

At the same time, three elite Anbu members were guarding the area.

Uchiha Obito's figure slowly emerged from a tree trunk in the dense forest. He was wearing a black robe and a mask, observing the situation there.

"There are Anbu guarding here, but there were none before. It seems that Sister Kushina... No, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth, but the number of guards is unexpectedly small." Uchiha Obito murmured softly.

It was indeed rare. Kushina gave birth to a child, but there were only three Anbu guarding here.

But in fact, this is reasonable, because if you send too many people to guard here, it will obviously let people know that there is a problem here. At that time, things that could have been done safely and covertly will become complicated.

Moreover, judging from Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others, the news of Kushina Uzumaki's childbirth was undoubtedly kept very secret. So far, few people knew about this.

Therefore, it is best not to have too many people involved in this process, so as not to attract attention that should not be there.

Even Utane Koharu has left and gone back.

Now, there are three Anbu outside the cave, and inside the cave, there are only Minato Namikaze, Biwako Sarutobi, and a medical ninja taking care of Kushina.

Normally speaking, with the Hokage and Minato Namikaze around, it would be enough.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Kakashi and other relevant insiders all behaved as usual, without any flaws. Those who should go home went home, and those who should go to the memorial to pay their respects went to pay their respects. Everything was as usual.

Because of this, no one in Konoha noticed anything was wrong.

Except for guys like Uchiha Obito and Diarmait who have ulterior motives for a long time.

"But it's okay, it saves me some trouble." Uchiha Obito sneered.

Meanwhile, at Sarutobi Hiruzen's house.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting cross-legged under the courtyard corridor, watching the dripping rain and drinking tea.

His eyes were fixed on the distant wall, as if there were some flowers on that wall, but in reality, that was the direction where Kushina was giving birth.

"Old man, if you are so worried, why don't we go and take a look together?" A guy who looked about the same age as Kakashi stood behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and said with interest.

But just as he finished speaking, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, another man who was slightly older than Kakashi and the others knocked the guy who had just spoken on the head with a knife and said with a smile: "Asuma, don't be so disrespectful."

"Tsk..." Asuma curled his lips somewhat rebelliously, but did not make any extra movements.

Because this man is his elder brother, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the captain of Konoha Anbu.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is a gentle but very powerful guy, and he is very low-key. How low-key is he?

Even the people of Konoha always forget that the Third Hokage seems to have a powerful son in the Anbu.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never relied on the status and power of the Sarutobi family to do anything that would bring disgrace to the family. In the eyes of the wealthy and powerful families, he has always been a role model for their children, and Sarutobi Hiruzen has always regarded him as his pride.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Sarutobi clan will be led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the future.

In fact, this is indeed the case, but under the leadership of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Sarutobi clan later became quite low-key, a bit like the Senju family, seeking transformation and so on, and only a small number of people continued to be ninjas.

Compared with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Sarutobi Asuma is a complete "rebellious son".

This guy is the youngest in the family, so he was the most favored before, and was spoiled by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Biwako.

Although he is not a wicked person, he has done all the ridiculous things that playboys do, and his reputation in Konoha is really not good.

However, in the past two years, he seems to have matured a bit and no longer does those stupid things.

Since he was just a playboy and not a bad young villain, although his reputation was not very good, he was still popular.

Moreover, as the offspring of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sarutobi Asuma is also very talented. He has been practicing with a big man like the Ninjutsu Doctor since he was a child. Among the younger generation, his strength is one of the best.

However, even the wealthy Sarutobi family has its own problems.

The father-son relationship between Asuma and Sarutobi Hiruzen had long since broken down and was no longer as close as it had been when they were children.

There are many reasons. Perhaps it was because he was once the Third Hokage, but his son was a playboy, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen and Asuma furious several times.

Perhaps it was because compared to a calm guy like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Asuma's personality was too eccentric and his behavior was unconventional, which often led to greater ideological disputes between the two.

In short, the contradiction is very deep.

"I will go to the Fire Temple in half a month." Asuma said suddenly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent the whole time, just staring at the wall, finally showed some change in his expression. He took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing at the Fire Temple? To become a monk? What? Did you have a fight with the girl from the Yuhi family? If it were you, a bastard like you should stay out of harming others."

"Hmph." Asuma Sarutobi snorted coldly, but did not refute anything, as if he had really quarreled with his childhood sweetheart.

The little girl from the Xiri family is naturally Xirihong.

"I'm not as bad as you think. I just want to relax. My friend over there called me over and said he has something to discuss with me." said Asuma Sarutobi.

"You've only been a Jonin for a few days? Are you planning to skip work? When will you be able to act like a child of the Sarutobi family!?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said very unhappily.

"Ah, I don't look like a child of the Sarutobi family. I'm so sorry." Sarutobi Asuma responded calmly, and then said: "That's it..."

After saying this, Asuma turned around and prepared to leave.

Even though he was supposed to go to the Fire Temple half a month later, he probably wouldn't return to the Sarutobi family for the next half month.

As soon as he turned around, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it between his lips, but just as he was about to light it.

He heard his brother's voice.

"Asuma." Sarutobi Shinnosuke called out with a smile.

Asuma scratched his head and looked over.

"Be careful on the road. Also, at such a young age, it's best not to learn to smoke from others." Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile, his tone very gentle.

While his relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen might be strained, Asuma still had a very good relationship with his eldest brother. It could even be said that in this family, the only one who could control him was Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Asuma sighed, put away the cigarette in his hand, and said unhappily, "I understand." He then turned and left again, this time without looking back.

After Asuma Sarutobi left, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and shook his head helplessly, saying, "If he could be half as worry-free as you are to me, I could probably live a few more years." Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head and said, "No, Asuma will definitely become a better ninja than me." "Why do you say that?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, looking at his eldest son.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke touched his chin and said with a smile, "It's just my intuition. Besides, what brother wouldn't want his younger brother to be better than him?" "You..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shinnosuke helplessly, then said, "If you hadn't spoiled him so much over the years..."

"I have taught him the principles of life, father. You see, although Asuma is a bit unruly, his character is not bad, right? In fact... sometimes I envy him." Sarutobi Shinnosuke continued with a smile.

"What are you envious of him for? Envy that he's a bad boy?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said unhappily.

"Isn't that natural? Which man doesn't want to be a bad boy when he is young?" Assistant Sarutobi Shinji said as a matter of course.

But his words made Sarutobi Hiruzen stunned for a moment, as if he had some feelings or thought of something. After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "Really? You have worked hard over the years, Shinnosuke." Shinnosuke was also stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "It's nothing, I am the eldest son of the Sarutobi family." After that, he stopped talking, and Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking too, and the two of them fell silent. Sarutobi Shinnosuke looked at the bright moon under the rain, and thought to himself, "Asuma, this is all my brother can do for you. Fly freely, the sky is your home..."

Yes, what can Sarutobi Shinnosuke do to Asuma? Help him do evil? Help him to anger Sarutobi Hiruzen?

It's impossible.

Only when he becomes more and more outstanding, and more and more like the heir that the Sarutobi family can place high hopes on, can the shackles that the wealthy family has placed on Asuma be loosened.

Only my own younger brother can spread his wings and fly freely in the sky.

However, Asuma, who was still a rebellious teenager at that time, could not appreciate the care from his brother.

If Diarmait were here, he would definitely want to introduce Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Uchiha Itachi to each other, because it is obvious that these two people have common topics.

At this moment, Shinnosuke, who was originally looking at the moon, suddenly changed his expression. He pulled open his sleeves and saw that the three cursed lines on his arms were disappearing.

"Oh no! Something's happened over there! The men I assigned to protect the Yondaime-sama and Kushina-sama have lost their vital signs!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a look of shock and anger. Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked up suddenly, glanced at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and continued, "Go notify the jonin squad and the ANBU to gather, and arrange for the rest of the people to prepare for evacuation!"

"Yes!" Sarutobi Shinnosuke responded in a deep voice, and then his figure disappeared in a flash.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was also filled with anger and heaviness, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he stood up and walked towards his bedroom.

Although he was angry, he had not lost his mind.

Minato is also there, he is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!

At this time, what Sarutobi Hiruzen had to do was not to provide support immediately, but to be responsible for the entire Konoha. Since Minato was on the front line, he had to arrange the affairs of the village!

After opening the bedroom door, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked a few steps to the wall, where a dark green laminated armor was hanging.

This kind of armor is rarely used anymore.

Only the older generation who lived through the Warring States Period or when the village was first founded would prefer this kind of ancient armor that was created for war.
