I defected before Genocide Night

By the time Jiraiya left the tavern and rushed to the ceremony site, Konoha's personnel were basically in place.

The woods were lit by firelight.

The members of the barrier class stood in four directions, ready to deploy the barrier at any time.

As Konoha's top combat power, Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi each stood on one side, leading their team members to carefully inspect the surrounding environment.

There is also a ninja from the Hyuga clan who is using his Byakugan to observe the movement in the distance.

"Very well prepared!"

With a sigh, Jiraiya withdrew his gaze and walked down the stairs extending out of the ground.

He entered the basement.

Different from the narrow entrance outside, the environment in the basement is very wide and open, surrounded by cage pillars made of wood.

Jiraiya noticed that there was an altar of several square meters in the middle of the laboratory.

Around the altar are black curse seals that are as dense as a spider web.

Before the fourth generation died, he placed a double seal of the Four Symbols in Naruto's body that was difficult for ordinary people to break.

In his expectation, this seal would gradually become weaker as Naruto grew up.

In this way, Naruto can gradually receive the increasingly stronger Nine-Tails Chakra, and become a perfect Jinchuuriki when he reaches adulthood.

It's a pity that Naruto went berserk in advance. Now if Konoha wants to lift the double four-element seal in advance, it must arrange an altar and engrave the corresponding curse seal.

Sandai and several advisors were standing in front of the altar, observing the altar where the ceremony was to be performed.

Jiraiya looked suspicious and couldn't help but mutter: "It's just a play, do you need to be so well prepared?"

Inadvertently, his eyes glanced over to Danzo.

Jiraiya couldn't help but frowned when he saw that Danzo was inspecting the ritual altar very carefully, no less seriously than the real conversion ceremony.

"Is this guy really planning to take the tailed beast out of Naruto's body?"

The tailed beast will die if the jinchūriki is taken away, and Naruto is no exception.

This is something he will never allow to happen.

Just when Jiraiya was secretly wary of Danzo, Danzo, who had confirmed that the altar was intact, spoke:

"Let the people from the sealing class come in!"

This was the first time that he and the third generation presided over the Chuuriki replacement ceremony.

The first few times, there were either the first generation and the second generation, or the first jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito was present.

The most recent one was completed by a fourth-generation couple before their death.

In order to ensure that there was no mistake, Danzo selected a number of ninjas who were good at sealing techniques to form a new sealing class.

The sealing team is here, then the jinchūriki are next.

Danzo looked at the Third Generation and urged: "Hiruzen, ask someone to bring the jinchūriki over!"

Sandai pondered for a moment and said, "I'd better go there myself!"

He left the basement.

Seeing that the third generation was not present, Danzo's worries became much less.

"Bring the phosphorus!" He looked at the root ninja next to him.

"yes!"

The root ninja received the order and immediately left.

Before Sandai came back, he brought a red-haired girl.

Jiraiya had been keeping a close eye on Danzo's movements. When he saw that he had asked someone to bring a red-haired girl, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Who is she?"

Red hair was related to jinchuriki, which made Jiraiya think of people from the Uzumaki clan.

Nagato, Kushina...

Staring at Danzo fiercely, Jiraiya frowned and said, "Are you really planning to replace the Jinchuuriki?"

Upon hearing his question, Danzo answered without any hesitation, "Of course not, this is just to make sure nothing goes wrong."

For the sake of Konoha, he could only tell Jiraiya a white lie.

"What's so foolproof? I will never let you carry out the ceremony to the end." Jiraiya said coldly.

Even if he wanted to catch the man behind the scenes, the most he could tolerate was Naruto standing on the ritual altar. It was impossible to extract the tailed beast.

Danzo's eyes flashed, but he was not angry because of Jiraiya's words. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't make any unplanned actions."

"That's the best!" Jiraiya did not relax his vigilance because of this.

…

In the cave.

Naruto, who was in the darkness, saw the light of the fire and raised his head.

When he saw the rickety figure of the third generation entering the cave holding a torch, and seeing the guilt on the third generation's face clearly, he raised his head and asked expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

Sighing inwardly, Sandai looked at Naruto and said, "We are going to perform a ceremony and you need to be present."

He didn't make it too clear, but through the guilty look on his face, and thinking about the replacement of Jinchuuriki mentioned by the masked man from time to time during this period, Naruto probably understood in his heart.

"Let's go!"

He didn't resist and stood up with his hands on the wall.

Following Sandai, they slowly walked out of the cave.

When walking out of the cave, Naruto, who lowered his head, could vaguely hear the third generation's promise: "Don't worry, I won't put you in danger."

Naruto didn't pay attention and nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah!"

Soon, they came to the woods outside the village.

The ninja who was carrying a torch and patrolling strictly saw the third generation and nodded quickly: "Hokage-sama!"

When they saw Naruto, the Jinchuuriki who always brought trouble, the expressions on these people's faces were obviously relieved.

"It's finally time to replace the jinchuriki. We no longer have to worry about some inexplicable situations happening."

No matter where you are, there are always people who can't keep their mouth shut.

Kakashi, who was in charge of patrol, came here. After glaring at the talkative ninja, he patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Lord Hokage and Lord Jiraiya will not let anything happen to you."

.”

The jinchuriki will die after the tailed beast is taken away, so how can it be okay?

After taking one look at this strange guy, Naruto slapped his palm away impatiently.

Kakashi looked at the third generation at a loss.

Seeing this, Sandai said helplessly: "I'll take Naruto down first, and you can continue to intensify patrolling."

They can't speak too clearly until the mastermind behind the scenes appears.

"yes!"

Feeling that he was disliked by the teacher's children, Kakashi felt a little depressed.

But soon, he remembered that the first task tonight was to catch the mysterious mastermind, and he cheered up again.

"Let's talk about Naruto later. We have to catch that sneaky guy tonight. Is he really Obito?" Kakashi felt both expectant and uneasy in his heart.

If that person is really Obito, is it possible that the person who killed the teacher and Kushina's sister was really Obito's fault as Taki said?

Shaking his head and getting rid of the entangled mentality, Kakashi focused his attention on patrolling.

At this time, from a distance, a pair of evil eyes were watching everything.

"Should we start?"

Under the mask, Obito's wrinkled and ugly face revealed a cold smile.

Through the White Zetsu broadcast, he paid close attention to what happened in Konoha tonight.
