Hokage: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 100: Success

The moment the tall and burly male prisoner died, the previously noisy prison fell silent.

However, the next second, an even louder uproar erupted.

This time, the prisoners were no longer just whistling and cheering. They added extremely harsh curses aimed at Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Hagoromo Gengetsu did not tolerate them. He drew out several kunai.

Anyone who cursed at him received a volley, leading to their demise.

Very quickly, the prison turned into a river of blood.

After half the prisoners were dead, the prison finally fell silent.

The remaining prisoners, who had previously been extremely arrogant and intimidating, now shrank back into their cells, trembling in fear, not daring to look outside.

They had initially thought their savior had come to break them out of prison.

They never expected that the person who arrived would be more terrifying than the prison guards.

In a short time, this person had killed more prisoners than the total number of deaths in the prison over the past ten years.

How could they not be afraid?

At this moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu, the only one still standing in the prison, scanned the surroundings expressionlessly. Seeing that no one dared to challenge him, he proceeded deeper into the prison.

Given Konoha's policies, those imprisoned here might not all be beyond redemption, but they were definitely guilty of numerous crimes.

Moreover, being confined in such a dark environment for so long, many prisoners' minds had become twisted and increasingly extreme.

For such people, even if this prison belonged to Konoha, and even if the prisoners deeply hated Konoha, his stance in his first and second lives was the same.

Who said breaking into a prison meant releasing the prisoners?

Even in ancient times, general amnesties did not pardon the worst criminals.

To Hagoromo Gengetsu, keeping these people locked up in prison was their best outcome.

Afterward.

With no more noise, Hagoromo Gengetsu quickly deactivated the prison's defenses and found Mizuki's cell.

"Mizuki," Hagoromo Gengetsu called out, looking at the pitch-black cell in front of him.

"Who are you?" The first antagonist of Naruto, a man named Mizuki, stepped out of the darkness.

Unlike his gentle demeanor as an academy teacher, Mizuki had now become a fitness fanatic.

To those unfamiliar, it would be hard to recognize him at first glance.

Mizuki looked at Hagoromo Gengetsu in confusion.

After spending some time in prison, he had met Orochimaru by chance, who left a cursed seal on his arm, greatly enhancing his power. Recently, he had even convinced Fūjin and Raijin to prepare for an escape.

What he didn't expect was that someone would come to break him out today.

"Could he be sent by Lord Orochimaru?"

Thinking of the powerful cursed seal within him, Mizuki pondered excitedly.

He was about to ask something else.

After examining Mizuki, Hagoromo Gengetsu nodded and said, "It's you, no doubt."

"You..."

Sensing something amiss, Mizuki's face changed as he prepared to act.

In an instant, an irresistible force hit him.

With a loud crash, Mizuki was sent flying, embedding deeply into the prison wall, unable to move.

[Ding!]

[Side Quest: Naruto Uzumaki's True Graduation Exam (Completed)]

[You and Naruto Uzumaki, working together, defeated Mizuki, who harbored malice toward Konoha and coveted the Scroll of Seals. The Third Hokage highly appreciates your actions.]

[Reward: 10 seconds of reading time with the Scroll of Seals]

Taking his eyes off Mizuki, Hagoromo Gengetsu did not immediately accept the reward. If the reward was as described, allowing only ten seconds of reading time, now was not the best environment for it.

With the task completed and nothing more to do, Hagoromo Gengetsu turned to leave.

Just then, a deep, rough voice suddenly called out, "You took out Mizuki, how are we going to eat?"

Hagoromo Gengetsu turned to see two extremely large, innocent-looking fat men among the prisoners.

"Eat? What do you mean?" He stopped and asked curiously.

The two extremely large men pointed to Mizuki and said, "Mizuki told us he would take us to find someone who would give us a lot of food. Now that he can't go, what do we do about our hunger?"

So these were the simple-minded Fūjin and Raijin.

"If you stay in the prison, you get food."

Saying this casually, Hagoromo Gengetsu ignored the two big eaters and left directly.

Watching Hagoromo Gengetsu's departing figure, Fūjin scratched his head and said, "He makes a lot of sense."

Raijin agreed, "Then let's stay in the prison and keep waiting for food."

The brothers promptly gave up their escape plan and stayed in the prison, obediently waiting to be fed.

Outside Konoha Prison.

Finding an unoccupied spot, Hagoromo Gengetsu received his side quest reward.

The next second.

Under Hagoromo Gengetsu's gaze, a huge scroll suddenly appeared before him.

"It looks exactly like the one in the Hokage's office."

At first glance, Hagoromo Gengetsu could tell that the Scroll of Seals now in front of him was identical to the one in the office, with the same patterns on the scroll.

"Is it a copy, or is this the original Scroll of Seals?"

Time was limited, so Hagoromo Gengetsu quickly opened the scroll, ignoring other forbidden techniques, and swiftly read the most needed techniques: the Reanimation Jutsu and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

At the same time.

In the Hokage's office, in the secret room with the Scroll of Seals.

The secret room door had been re-sealed with a new barrier, and the number of guards outside had increased several times.

However, they never expected that the Scroll of Seals, placed securely on the stone platform in the secret room, would suddenly disappear.

The sealing barrier, which had just thwarted an intruder once, showed no signs of activation.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Ten seconds later.

The Scroll of Seals reappeared on the stone platform, everything as it was before.

Meanwhile, outside Konoha Prison.

After ten seconds, Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was considering trying to keep holding the Scroll of Seals to continue reading, was surprised to see the scroll turn from solid to intangible and disappear instantly.

When they said ten seconds, they meant ten seconds.

"Interesting."

Looking at his empty hands, Hagoromo Gengetsu had witnessed another ability of the system.

Fortunately, he had seen what he needed.

With his excellent memory, he had memorized the Reanimation Jutsu and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

This trip to Konoha was a success.

Now, he would begin his plan to restore his soul.

Once everything was back to peak condition, it would be time to resume his path of the Kekkei Genkai Collection.
