After securing the money and Ninjutsu notes, Haruno Sho arrived at the location of the next sealed compartment: the bedroom.
The special compartment here was beneath the tatami mats, and if Haruno Sho's Sensing Technique hadn't been so powerful, he truly wouldn't have discovered the anomaly below.
However, what made him successful also caused his downfall. The Sealing Technique barrier both protected the compartment and made it exceptionally conspicuous to Haruno Sho's Sensing Technique.
"It's very complex! What kind of Sealing Technique is this?"
"Could it be a secret technique of the Uzumaki Clan?"
The seal within the bedroom compartment was exceedingly complex, so Haruno Sho didn't immediately know how to unlock it without alerting anyone. However, considering the current situation, he wasn't afraid of disturbing others, so he opted for a violent breach.
"Water Release: Water Fang Blade!"
This Ninjutsu was actually an extended application of the Water Release: Water Ball Technique, allowing water to condense in his hand to form a spinning water blade that could be launched. Its power was formidable, reaching the destructive capability of an A-rank Ninjutsu.
Haruno Sho's development of this Ninjutsu was an accident, but its Chakra consumption was very low, and it was a Ninjutsu without hand seals, requiring only extremely high Chakra control.
"Boom!"
As the Ninjutsu was thrust forth from his hand, after a series of explosive roars, the Sealing Technique beneath the tatami mats was still violently broken by him, revealing its contents.
A large scroll stored vertically, with a golden-red hair accessory on it, and special runes carved on its surface, somewhat resembling Minato's Flying Thunder God Mark.
"Oh no! I must have alerted them this time..."
"Even if Minato doesn't have time to come back, I can't guarantee that he wouldn't have sent someone over before he died, so I can't delay!"
Although he knew the Fourth Hokage Couple definitely didn't have time to bother him now, Haruno Sho quickly secured the large scroll on his back and then rushed into the study again.
This time, the compartment was in the wall, so he still chose a violent breach.
"Water Release: Water Fang Blade!"
"Boom!"
However, as the Sealing Technique barrier was destroyed, a strong explosion immediately occurred inside the wall. Haruno Sho, who was already prepared, promptly activated his Body Flicker Technique to escape, thus avoiding being affected.
When the smoke and dust cleared, he walked back to find that the contents of the compartment had also been completely destroyed by the explosion.
"What a pity! It seems what was stored here must have been intelligence related to the Village..."
Seeing this result, Haruno Sho wasn't too disappointed and turned to leave without hesitation.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to destroy the house. In for a penny, in for a pound! Otherwise, he might very well be exposed afterward!
After all, not all of Konoha Village's Anbu were incompetent; the Inuzuka Clan was particularly skilled at tracking people!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Boom!"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
"Boom, boom..."
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
...Although Haruno Sho's original Chakra natures only included Water, Earth, Yin, and Yang, over the years, he had already developed Lightning and Fire natures. So now, he was only missing Wind Release to become an all-rounder Ninja.
Coupled with his frequent use of his position to consult other patients, he had already mastered many low-level Ninjutsu, so a mere Fire Release was naturally no challenge for him.
"Don't blame me, Fourth Hokage..."
Under Haruno Sho's barrage of C-rank Fire Release attacks, the Fourth Hokage's house quickly went up in flames. It was believed that it would soon be reduced to ruins.
"Anyway, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that Old fellow, wouldn't let young Naruto live here, so let this house and you all leave this world together!"
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..."
After muttering these words, Haruno Sho's figure slowly submerged into the earth, leaving behind only the dilapidated house engulfed in raging flames.
"The house is burned, and I've already dealt with my scent. I believe no one in Konoha Village will discover that I did this..."
After hiding his gains in a safe place and meticulously dealing with his disguise, Haruno Sho reappeared in Konoha Village, continuously helping the injured lying outside the ruins.
As for those trapped inside the ruins, they would have to await subsequent rescue. What he could do now was to assist as many immediately treatable injured individuals as possible, simply stabilizing their wounds to prevent them from succumbing to their injuries.
People! Sometimes one needs to make choices... "Thank you! Ninja-sama..."
"If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have known what to do..."
"Izumi! Quickly thank this esteemed person!"
"He saved your father!"
A beautiful young woman, seeing her husband receive treatment, now expressed her gratitude to Haruno Sho with a thankful expression, while also not forgetting to pull her daughter to bow to him.
"Thank you very much!"
The little girl was also still shaken, unconsciously bowing as her mother instructed.
She had almost been separated from her family just now!
Oh! What was that monster anyway?
Oh! The older brother in front of her is so handsome!
This was just one scene of Haruno Sho assisting the injured during the Nine-Tails' Attack. Often, he didn't have much time to deal with the gratitude of these family members.
Because after finishing here, he still needed to rush to the next location. After all, the Nine-Tailed's destruction of Konoha Hidden Village was simply too great. Many places were now in ruins, and there were many injured, leaving Haruno Sho no room for delay.
"Ah! Another new day..."
Despite having worked overtime all night at Konoha Hospital, Haruno Sho still had to report to work on time today. His home, being on the outskirts of Konoha Village, was very fortunate not to have been affected by the Nine-Tails' Attack.
Congratulations!
If Haruno Sho hadn't already mastered the technique of using genjutsu to induce deep sleep, then a mere two hours of rest would hardly have allowed him to quickly regain his energy and eliminate fatigue.
"Haruno, come quickly! We need help here..."
"Oh, oh... Coming! Coming!"
As soon as Haruno Sho returned to his post, he was called out by other Medical Ninja who spotted him, so he silently resumed his medical treatment of the numerous injured.
At this time, in the Hokage Building, a group of Konoha High Command, clan heads from various clans, and some Jonin were gathered to discuss the follow-up matters concerning the Nine-Tails' Attack.
"Hiruzen, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, has sacrificed himself. Our Konoha cannot be without a Hokage, so I recommend Orochimaru to become the Fifth Generation..."
"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who could fill this position!"
