"Yasuo? Blood Moon Sect? I've never heard of it either."
Whether Jiraiya ca with a selfish motive or genuinely sought instruction, Tsunade's response after reading the information was the sa.
Not knowing ans not knowing.
But after seeing the profile description of Yasuo in the information, Tsunada's eyes suddenly sharpened!
A white bone mask, a ronin attire, red hair, a sword hanging at the waist...
"It's him!"
A person surrounded by a furious airstream suddenly appeared in her mind as if transford into the God of Thunder.
After Tsunade blurted out, Jiraiya, who originally had little hope, was suddenly stunned, "You know?"
Tsunade took a deep breath and shook her head, "I don't know who Yasuo is, but the figure described in this information might be the sa one who kidnapped Shizune!"
Jiraiya hadn't expected it to be like this and frowned montarily.
"Why would soone from Akatsuki kidnap Shizune?"
"Their target might not necessarily have been Shizune. We just saw them doing sothing, so we followed, leading to what happened afterward."
Tsunade suddenly cald down.
The person was already preparing to leave. Her relentless pursuit pushed them to act desperately, resulting in Shizune being kidnapped.
This was a warning!
"Jiraiya, do you rember when you were a child and insisted on adventuring in an abandoned house?"
Jiraiya had a look of astonishnt. Why suddenly bring up old embarrassing stories?
"What about it?"
"That's where Shizune and I encountered them. You should quickly send soone to check what's missing there."
Tsunade was also aware of her oversight, solely focused on rescuing Shizune, forgetting the Uzumaki clan's Mask Storage Temple. Now, she rembered to check the situation.
Although Jiraiya was sowhat puzzled, he imdiately sent soone to check.
anwhile, while waiting, he listened to the whole story from Tsunade.
Originally, Tsunade wasn't planning to share this information since being reckless and negligent, which led to her disciple being captured, wasn't sothing to be proud of.
But at this point, there was no need to hide anything for her pride.
Of course, even lending several guts to Jiraiya, he wouldn't dare to say anything.
As expected!
After Jiraiya listened to Tsunade's complete story, he twitched at the corner of his mouth, showing a hint of helplessness.
Shizune's capture was indeed Tsunade's own doing.
Of course, this is looking at it from the current point of view.
If Jiraiya had encountered such a situation, he would have followed to investigate further.
But what secret does the Uzumaki clan's Mask Storage Temple hide?
Why would it attract Akatsuki?
What exactly are those terrorists plotting?
Jiraiya thought of many possibilities in a mont but lacked the information to conclude.
Then, he had all the information about what the Uzumaki clan left behind organized and brought over for review.
Tsunade didn't disturb him, quietly waiting by the window.
After a while, the person who went to check ca back first.
"All the masks on the walls have disappeared without a trace, but no other anomalies were found."
"Alright, you may go."
"I know what they ca for."
After the Anbu mber left, Jiraiya pointed to a record, "After seeing this, you'll understand."
Tsunade didn't hesitate, nor did she care about protocol, and started to check imdiately.
Then she frowned slightly: "The Reaper Death Seal Mask?"
It only ntioned that the Uzumaki clan enshrined the Reaper Death Seal Mask in the Mask Storage Temple, and the Mask Storage Temple symbolized the friendship between the Uzumaki clan and Konoha through generations...
Then, so things need not be said anymore. What's important isn't the Mask Storage Temple but the Reaper Death Seal Mask stored inside.
The Uzumaki clan placed such an essential thing near Konoha, showing their uprightness.
Unfortunately, their sincerity led to their destruction.
"The mask is said to be the 'key' to unlocking the Reaper Death Seal, but it doesn't ntion how. Besides, do you rember? After that incident, Orochimaru once specifically investigated the Uzumaki clan's past. That guy must have discovered it long ago but didn't say anything."
ntioning Orochimaru made both of them fall silent.
"Do you an to say Orochimaru colluded with Akatsuki to get the Reaper Death Seal Mask? I don't think so. If Orochimaru wanted it, he could have just taken it himself; there is no need to use soone else." Jiraiya shook his head, seemingly holding a different opinion.
Tsunade didn't argue either because she coincided with the person who ca to take the Reaper Death Seal Mask.
And if Orochimaru wanted it, he could have taken it long ago—no need to wait until now.
The only thing known now is that Hiruzen tried to perform the Reaper Death Seal, but it must have failed. After all, Orochimaru is still alive and well, having escaped everyone's eyes.
So, if soone wants to use the Reaper Death Seal Mask to unlock the seal, they must have so plot.
Unknowingly, Tsunade and Jiraiya had co closer to the truth.
"Regardless, we can't let a hazardous organization like Akatsuki get their hands on it," Jiraiya said very seriously.
Even though Jiraiya hadn't explicitly investigated Akatsuki in this lifeti, he knew that Orochimaru had once joined Akatsuki.
And because of soone's involvent, during Hiruzen's stand-in as Hokage, Akatsuki mysteriously gained a lot of presence and took on a lot of bla.
These leftover pieces of information have beco evidence that Akatsuki is very dangerous after Jiraiya took over as Hokage.
So, even though Akatsuki hadn't shown its fangs, it started hunting the Tailed Beasts of the significant ninja villages.
But here in Konoha, Akatsuki has already been labeled a dangerous entity, a category that must be cautiously guarded against.
Maybe Nagato would curse MMP after knowing it would turn out like this!
So undeservingly low-key!
This added another reason for pursuing Yasuo: to try to rescue Shizune and retrieve the stolen Reaper Death Seal Mask.
But more than a day has passed, and there hasn't been any good news yet.
This made Tsunade very anxious, fearing to hear so bad news.
She even speculated that the person daringly kidnapped Shizune to make them hesitate to act.
After all, if she had to choose, she would ensure Shizune's safety.
Like this, another excruciating day, they were passed.
The tracking team finally sent back so good news. They had conducted a wide-ranging check and finally pinpointed the general area where the enemy was hiding, proceeding with a carpet-style search!
