"Everyone, be careful!"
"It's a Tailed Beast Ball!"
"We're dead! We're dead! Kazama, let's be friends in the next life!"
"Defend! You bastard..."
"I don't want to die yet!"
Just then, various panicked shouts came from the scene. It turned out that the Nine-Tailed outside the Village was condensing a Tailed Beast Ball, and its attack direction seemed to be towards the Village.
The overwhelming and astonishing aura made it clear that the opponent's technique was not simple. For a moment, the shadow of death once again enveloped everyone!
The Tailed Beast Ball shot out from the Nine-Tailed's mouth the next moment, flying rapidly towards the Village. However, at that instant, a special kunai appeared in its attack path, and in a flash, a streak of gold followed, taking the Tailed Beast Ball with it.
"Boom!"
The Tailed Beast Ball, which was originally intended to attack the Village, exploded in the forest outside the Village the next moment. The sound was clearly audible even from within Konoha. From this, one could imagine the power of the Nine-Tailed's Tailed Beast Ball attack!
"Fourth Hokage-sama!"
"It's Fourth Hokage-sama's Flying Thunder God!"
"We're saved!"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, once again gained many fans. However, these people probably wouldn't have imagined that their respected Fourth Hokage would soon sacrifice himself to seal the Nine-Tailed.
"Rest in peace, Fourth Hokage..."
Watching that golden streak take the Nine-Tailed's massive figure away again, Haruno Sho knew that the other party was also likely to face a grim fate this time.
What a pity!
Such a wonderful little sun, sacrificed just like that... Konoha also lost the opportunity to rise again because of this!
Haruno Sho was powerless to do anything about it. After all, a mere twelve years wasn't enough to make him an existence that could kick Madara and punch Ōtsutsuki.
His Chakra level barely reached that of an ordinary Jonin. This was already the result of his naturally strong mental power, coupled with his continuous efforts to temper his body later on.
Considering this, a twelve-year-old Jonin could indeed be considered a genius! This was all the result of his own continuous efforts... Alas! Who said a transmigrator would definitely have a system?
Why, after a full twelve years!
Had the system he should possess not even shown a shadow?
"Is there no one?"
"It seems there really is no one..."
While everyone was dealing with the commotion caused by the Nine-Tailed, the real Haruno Sho appeared near the Fourth Hokage's home.
The figure active in the Village right now was just his Shadow Clone. Even if any doubts arose later, that might still be able to deceive some people's perceptions.
Watching Kakashi, who wasn't much older than himself, leave with the newborn Naruto, Haruno Sho knew that the Nine-Tailed incident was nearing its final moments.
So, in order not to mess things up at the critical moment, he immediately broke into the Fourth Hokage's house after Kakashi left.
"Let me see where the study is..."
"Don't disappoint me!"
Haruno Sho, coming here, of course wanted to claim the remaining inheritance of the soon-to-die Fourth Hokage Couple!
After all, soon their belongings would be confiscated by Hiruzen Sarutobi, that Old fellow, and even their son Naruto would suffer unfair treatment and endure torment... To be honest! It really surprised Haruno Sho that Naruto, after growing up, didn't turn dark. If he had experienced such a fate, he would definitely take fierce revenge when he had the chance.
So, instead of letting the Fourth Hokage Couple's inheritance benefit that black-hearted hypocrite, it was better for himself.
Haruno Sho thought so, and he acted accordingly. Thus, with his careful search, he quickly found something.
"Found it!"
"Ah! So many books..."
Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, was definitely a learned and talented person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Hokage of Konoha Hidden Village, seemingly from a commoner background.
"The Namikaze surname is not well-known. I guess this Fourth Hokage guy must have a special bloodline!"
"Otherwise, where would he get so many books?"
"Could they all have been given by Jiraiya? Or did he collect them slowly himself?"
Looking at the shelves of various books in the study, Haruno Sho couldn't help but smile. Thinking that these things would soon belong to him, the smile on his face grew even wider.
"Fourth Hokage, thank you for your selfless dedication! If I get the chance, I will definitely repay it through Naruto..."
"Seal!"
Haruno Sho murmured, while also not slowing his hands, beginning to clear out everything here. For this, he had already prepared storage scrolls.
This cost him all his savings! All for the arrival of this day... All the books were taken, and even Minato's hidden stash of money was no exception.
During this time, he also discovered secret collection points protected by barriers, but Haruno Sho did not disturb these places for now, instead continuing to search the house for any valuable items that were easy to collect.
"Phew! Quite a haul!"
"I didn't expect my wallet to get fat again after this night!"
"Ah! Who should I thank for this?"
Looking at the storage scrolls in his hand, Haruno Sho was extremely satisfied at this moment. No wonder he used to hear people say that doing business without capital was the easiest way to get rich, it just had higher risks!
However... at this time, everyone's attention was on the Nine-Tailed. It was unlikely anyone would notice the activity here!
Then, for safety's sake, Haruno Sho walked to the window and activated his excellent Sensing Technique to carefully sense outside. After finding no unusual movements around, he proceeded to the next step.
"Hmm! The Nine-Tailed's invisible pressure seems to have weakened a lot..."
"It seems I need to act quickly!"
"Now let me see, where exactly is the grand prize..."
Feeling that time was a bit short, Haruno Sho immediately set off to deal with the three places in the house that had barriers.
Namely, the study, the bedroom, and the toilet!
It really lived up to the old saying: a cunning rabbit has three burrows!
After a careful inspection, Haruno Sho found that the sealing barrier in the toilet's secret compartment was the easiest to undo; it was just a simple storage seal.
So he quickly obtained a large sum of money and a Ninjutsu notebook from inside... After quickly browsing through the Ninjutsu notebook, Haruno Sho was immediately overjoyed.
Because this was the notebook of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, which recorded many of his Ninjutsu insights. The content was diverse, with all kinds of knowledge, even records of Flying Thunder God, but many descriptions were often superficial.
"This must be the Fourth Hokage's inspiration notebook!"
He guessed in his heart that this special notebook was probably something the Fourth Hokage casually recorded during his boring time in the toilet.
It is said that for some people, when they are in the toilet, it is often when their inspiration is most active.
Should one say, as expected of Minato Namikaze!
His success was truly not accidental, but the result of talent plus hard work, after all, he even used his time in the toilet... "Truly admirable, Minato..."
"But your big money vault will belong to me from now on!"
Minato's private money was certainly not kept in just one place! But to think of putting money in the toilet, was it to cover up the stench of money?
