NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Did You Use Up All Of Your Luck?
[Hyūga Hizashi: Why are you going out of your way to cause trouble? With so many of us in this group, is there any technique you can't get?]
[Hyūga Hizashi: And didn't Lord First just say that the Scroll of Seals is essentially Lord Second's personal collection of techniques? Instead of stealing, you could just learn directly from the person who created them!]
While the others were trying to dissuade Makoto from stealing the Scroll of Seals, one person's response shocked them all.
[Uchiha Madara: Bullshit! Kid, if you want to steal it, then go ahead. I fully support you!]
Madara had no interest in stopping Makoto—in fact, he was more than happy to see the village descend into chaos. The more trouble Makoto and Naruto caused, the more entertaining things would become for him.
Normally, Madara spent his time scolding and mocking Hashirama, but today, he was simply eager to sit back and enjoy the mess that was about to happen.
Seeing Madara's message, Makoto had a slight smile on his lips. It would be foolish of him not to take advantage of such a golden opportunity.
More importantly, it wasn't just any technique created by Tobirama that he was after. The Scroll of Seals contained powerful and secret techniques. Some were even related to Wood Style and that was exactly what he wanted.
Although Hashirama had previously gifted him the Senju Clan's bloodline, granting him both Wood Style and Beginner Level Sage Arts, Makoto still had no clue how to actually use Wood Style.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was determined to seize it.
...…
Late at night, Makoto and Naruto met outside the Ninja Academy as planned.
Naruto's face was filled with excitement. Once he stole the Scroll of Seals and learned a technique from it, he would finally become a true ninja.
Meanwhile, Makoto remained calm and composed, knowing full well that the mission would be a success.
[Senju Tobirama: Makoto, have you done these kinds of sneaky things often in the past?]
[Makoto Itō: What do you mean by that?!]
[Uchiha Madara: You seem awfully calm about this. It doesn't look like this is your first time stealing something.]
[Makoto Itō: Madara, do you even know what it's like to steal? Have you ever stolen anything before?]
[Uchiha Madara: Of course, I know! Back in the day, I used to sneak into the Senju Clan's territory and steal Hashirama!]
[Makoto Itō: What the hell did I just hear?!]
[Uzumaki Mito: HASHIRAMA!!]
[Senju Hashirama: Madara, please speak clearly. What do you mean by "stealing me"? We were clearly just hanging out!]
[Uchiha Madara: Ahem… Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!]
[Makoto Itō: Oh, so now you want to clarify? It's too late now. Everyone knows you two are like that!]
[Uchiha Madara: Shut up, brat! Damn it, if you're not going to steal the Scroll of Seals, go home and sleep!]
Makoto rolled his eyes and decided to stop entertaining Madara. Instead, he focused on the task at hand.
He activated the Area Scanning Technique that Minato had given him. Pressing his fingers gently against the ground, he sensed a flicker of chakra nearby.
Makoto narrowed his eyes as he confirmed it was none other than Mizuki.
However, Makoto pretended not to notice Mizuki. He casually tapped the top of his shoe, as if dusting it off, before calmly pulling Naruto along toward the Hokage's Office.
The streets surrounding the building were eerily quiet as if someone had deliberately cleared the area.
As they neared the Hokage's Office, Makoto activated his sensory ninjutsu once more. He carefully scanned the surroundings and found that, within a few hundred meters of the Hokage Building, there wasn't a single ninja present.
The only chakra signature he detected inside the building belonged to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Upon realizing this, the corners of Makoto's lips twitched speechlessly. 'He is really something! Not a single Anbu ninja around the Hokage's Office. It's just him alone in there!'
At that moment, the chat group erupted into discussion.
[Uchiha Madara: What the hell is going on? Didn't you guys say the Hokage's Office is heavily guarded by Anbu ninjas?]
[Uchiha Shisui: This doesn't add up. How can the security be this lax?]
[Senju Hashirama: There really is no one else around here. The only person in the office is Sarutobi Hiruzen!]
[Namikaze Minato: Are all the Anbu out on missions?]
[Hyūga Hizashi: Makoto, did you use up all of your luck? If not, how is this possible? There isn't a single ninja around the Hokage's Office! How crazy is that?!]
