Chapter 457: Situation in Blood Prison
Inside the Hokage Office,
"Any words from the Hozuki castle?" Tsunade checks a report and turns to Shizune.
"No, nothing yet!" Shizune shakes her head.
"It has been over two weeks since the Kage Summit. We already sent the emergency war alliance declaration to all small hidden nations and yet the Hidden Grass refuses to cooperate." Tsunade grits her teeth.
"Jiraiya, any intel from your spies?" Tsunade turns towards the window of the Hokage Office, where Jiraiya is hanging upside down.
"Tch here I thought of surprising you."
He jumps down and opens the window to enter the Hokage Office. Jiraiya removes his raincoat since it's raining outside.
"I do indeed have some information, and quite an urgent one at that."
He takes out a scroll from the chest pocket of his haori and passes it to Tsunade.
Tsunade opens the scroll and reads its content.
"Recently, an unusual series of the incident have been spotted in the blood prison of the Hozuki castle. Bloody mangled human bodies of prisoners were located in the vicinity of the prison. Not only that, the torturous screams of the prisoners can be heard from the blood prison. The warden of the Blood prison Mui has placed a lockdown on the prison. No outsider is allowed to visit the prison, and even the prisoners are handled from outside the prison."
Tsunade closes the scroll and turns to Jiraiya.
"Hmm how should we handle the situation?" While Tsunade is musing over the matter. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
Knock knock...
Someone knocks on the door.
"Come in!"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura enter the Hokage Office.
"You three what brings you here?" Tsunade asks them."
"Umm Tsunade-sama, it suddenly started raining outside when we passed by the academy. So, we thought of seeking shelter in the Hokage Office." Sakura answers in embarrassment.
"It's fine!" Tsunade waves her hand.
"O Naruto! How are you doing?" Jiraiya waves at Naruto.
"Pervy Sage! You are also here." Naruto waves and stands beside Jiraiya.
Naruto gulps his saliva and grabs Jiraiya's clothes in fear as Tsunade tells the tale.
"The Hozuki castle or the blood prison exists way before the era of the Sage of Six Paths. It's said that an extremely powerful cursed relic in the shape of a box is hidden beneath the Hozuki castle. Back before the era of the Sage of Six Paths, Kusagakure used the power of the cursed relic to almost conquer the entire shinobi world." Tsunade narrates the story of the Hozuki castle.
"Why almost? Did they fail somehow?" Sakura questions in confusion.
"They did indeed fail. However, the details are unknown to the rest of the world. Some said that the relic went out of control and wiped out the people of Kusagakure. Others said that an extremely powerful figure appeared and killed everyone. That figure later sealed the box in the depths of the Hozuki castle. There are also claims that the powerful relic released a massive army of demons that devoured their summoner as a living sacrifice and then vanished into thin air." Tsunade shakes her head at the various speculations about the relic.
"However, after that incident, a certain clan took over the responsibility of managing the blood prison as its wardens, and that clan still exists to this day. Anyway, the sudden incidents in the Hozuki castle might be related to that relic." Tsunade has a serious expression on her face.
"I would have liked Minato to handle this situation. However, as the supreme commander of the Shinobi Alliance Army; he is quite busy dealing with the affairs of war with Sakumo-san." A helpless Tsunade shakes her head.
"Then, I will do it!" Naruto raises his head.
"I will sneak into the castle, figure out their secret, and escape." Naruto formulates a plan.
'This sounds so much fun, Dattebyo!' An obscene smile appears on Naruto's face.
"Hmph do you think that we don't understand your plan?" Everyone scoffs at Naruto.
"You have been holed up in the village after the Kage Summit. Since you are a jinchuruki, the Akatsuki is hounding you. We can't let you fall into their hands so easily." Shizune shakes her head.
"But but I am quite strong and can handle everything on my own." Naruto clenches his fists.
"What if they sent 'him'?" Tsunade speaks with gloom.
Everyone's expression turns sour as they recall the person with Izuna's face. That person not only matches Izuna's profile, but even his strength was also as monstrous as Izuna's. During the Kage Summit, he single-handily suppressed everyone on the scene.
"I I I am not as strong as him." Naruto shakes his head and drops his head in depression.
"I will do it!" Sasuke volunteers.
Everyone turns towards Sasuke and ponders.
"Hmm Sasuke might be the best choice for this mission." After a few seconds, Tsunade and Jiraiya nod at Sasuke's proposal.
"However, you can't indirectly infiltrate the prison since there are various uncanny circumstances involving that place. Also, it might affect our diplomatic relations with Kusagakure and Kusa might even turn hostile for exposing their secrets. So, we need to think of a plan and for that, we need to contact Iwagakure and Kumogakure." Tsunade formulates a plan.
The rain stops pouring, and the sky becomes clear.
Tsunade scribbles down two letters and ties them on a messenger eagle's leg to send them to Onoki and A.
'I hope this plan of ours works.'
