Chapter 458: Infiltration in the Hozuki Castle
A week later,
A strange news spread across the Five Hidden Villages. Sasuke Uchiha of the Hidden leaf village attacked Raikage and Tsuchikage during an important strategic meeting.
Sasuke slaughtered seven jounins and twenty chunnins during the battle. He chopped off Raikage's arm and gravely wounded Tsuchikage and escaped the pursuit of two villages.
Kumogakure and Iwagakure issued a joint apprehension notice against Sasuke and publicly demanded an explanation from the Hidden Lead Village.
To maintain its diplomatic relations with the two villages, the hidden leaf village responded by sending its elite shinobis to capture Sasuke. The latter was apprehended and pleaded guilty.
After a lengthy discussion among the three villages, they sentenced Sasuke to life imprisonment in the Hozuki castle.
Clang
The door of the prison cell closes and one of the guards removes a black cloth from Sasuke's face.
"You have quite some guts, kid! Sabotaging the meeting between two Kages and massacring their shinobis, you might perhaps be the first person to escape alive after all that commotion."
Bang
The guard knees Sasuke in the guts.
"Your balls might be big, but my stick is even bigger!" He bashes Sasuke's head with an iron baton.
Blood leaks from Sasuke's head as he raises his head and activates his Sharingan to glare into the guard's eyes.
"How? How are you able to use chakra despite those chakra suppression cuffs?" The guard falls back in terror.
Shiing
The tomoes in Sasuke's Sharingan spin as he casts a genjutsu on the guard.
A few seconds later, the guard pees his pants and froth foam from his mouth. This demonstration scares the rest of the guards.
"Hurry up and call the warden! This guy is bad news. We can't handle him."
The rest of the guard panics and dashes away from Sasuke's cell.
"What's going on? What's with all this commotion?"
A fair, tall man with shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, and a chiseled face walks through the corridors of the prison hall. A thick strand of hair hangs in front of his head. He wears a long black trench coat held together by a long brown belt and a silver buckle. He wears white gloves and long brown boots.
"Mui-sama! Mui-sama!" The guards hurriedly surround him and prostrate.
"Mui-sama, that new prisoner is too dangerous for us to handle."
"Hoh!"
Mui walks towards Sasuke's cell and glances at Sasuke. He opens the prison cell and enters. Sasuke raises his head and glances at him.
"I am Mui, and I am responsible for this place. Being sent here means that you have completely lost the trust of your village. So remember this, you are no longer of any value and"
Mui swiftly makes a few hand signs. Crimson chakra coats his hands.
"The Hozuki castle has a tradition of sealing its prisoner's chakra through a powerful ancient seal called Celestial Prison. This seal is so powerful that none of the shinobi nation and clans, including the Uzumaki clan known for their Fuinjutsu prowess, were able to decipher it. Thus, the warden of the Hozuki castle has absolute confidence in their seal. However"
Tsunade smirks and points toward the scroll.
"Your big brother Izuna previously infiltrated the Hozuki castle to investigate the suspicious activities related to the hidden organization, Kara. His infiltration skills are second to none in the entire shinobi world, so he was able to easily access the core secrets of the Hozuki castle.
After studying the method to plant this seal, Izuna reverse-engineered the seal and created a key to crack open the seal. This scroll is one of those keys.
After you infiltrate the Hozuki castle and get branded by the Celestial Prison seal; wait for an opportunity to unlock the seal using this special key. This scroll is made of a special paper unique to the Shikkotsu Forest and is capable of shrinking in size. So, you can easily sneak it in."
----------------
"Looks like this seal isn't as effective as I assumed it to be. I can still infuse my chakra and even activate my Sharingan and even Mangekyo Sharingan."
Sasuke channels the chakra into his eyes to activate his Sharingan.
"However, I can't release the chakra outside my body. Releasing the seal outside my body will activate the seal and, if possible, I don't want to experience such pain again."
He shakes his head and proceeds to unlock the celestial prison seal.
"Looks like you have quite the reputation to get a personal cell and make the warden of Hozuki castle pay a visit." A rather feminine voice interrupts him.
Hmm
Sasuke swallows the scroll again and glances toward the wall on the right side of his cell.
"And you are" Sasuke questions the voice.
"I am Ryzetsu, a native of this island. I stole a few things and somehow ended up being here." Ryzetsu introduces himself.
"And you are?" He asks Sasuke.
"I am Sasuke Uchiha, a former shinobi of the Hidden leaf village. As for my crime, I chopped Raikage's arm and almost slashed the Tsuchikage in my half." Sasuke introduces himself.
"Woah! That's quite impressive. Looks like you are a real deal is what would you like me to say, however" Ryzetsu pauses.
" you are a spy for the Shinobi Alliance, right?" Ryzetsu's voice changes as he speculates.
Hmm
'Looks like they are aware of our moments. Does this mean there are spies among the higher-ups of the Shinobi Alliance since this information was only known to a few people?'
"Hoh! So, what if I am? Do you plan to reveal it to the warden and leave the prison on this account?" Sasuke scoffs at him.
"No! I don't have such intentions. However, I would like to cooperate with you to reveal the truth of this prison to everyone." Ryzetsu offers.
"Hmm I never expected I would hear such words from a petty thief." Sasuke retorts.
"You can say to me whatever you want, but the Hidden grass isn't as united as the rest of the nations think it to be."
"Then I would like to hear more about this matter before we can think of a cooperation," Sasuke responds to him.
"Very well!"
