Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan Chapter 326: Seeds of Doubt
After entering the forbidden secret room, Rizu's expression softened and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The secret vault where the scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' is stored has not been opened by the intruder. This is a blessing among misfortunes for Rizu.
"Roll your eyes, open!"
After opening his Byakugan, Rizu looked at the secret library carefully.
The Hyuga clan's secret vault is not very large, about the size of an ordinary hall, because there are not many items that are eligible to be stored here.
The scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' is stored in a treasure box in the deepest part of the secret vault.
There is a very exquisite sealing technique arranged on the treasure box. Among the entire Hyuga clan, only the head of the family, Rizu, and a few elders of the clan can lift this sealing technique.
After carefully observing the treasure box containing the scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', Rizu looked a little more solemn.
Because he discovered that the sealing technique on the treasure box had been triggered by someone. The alarm bell he heard before should be the alarm bell triggered by the sealing technique after the intruder triggered the seal on the treasure box.
Taking his eyes away from the treasure box, Rizu looked at other areas of the secret vault.
Soon, he discovered that the bookshelf in the secret vault that stored the thousand-year history and secrets of the Hyuga clan seemed to have been turned over.
He walked over quickly, counted the books on the bookshelf, and then his face became solemn.
After a simple inventory, he found that at least three ancient books were missing from the bookshelf, and these three ancient books all recorded the secrets of the White Eyes and the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal'.
Rizu thought to himself: "The purpose of the intruder is very clear!"
From the theft of several ancient books recording the secrets of the 'Caged Bird Curse' to the fact that the sealing technique on the treasure box storing the 'Caged Bird Curse' scroll was triggered, it can be seen that the purpose of the intruder is very clear, which is to attack Came with the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal'.
After checking the secret vault one last time to confirm that no other items were missing, Rizu walked out of the secret vault with a gloomy face.
At this time, the outer hall of the secret library was already full of Hyuga clan members, and several clan elders also rushed over after hearing the news. Even the one who had a Byakugan taken away during the Third Ninja World War The Zong family is also among them.
Everyone was checking the body of the murdered elder. When they saw Rizu coming out of the secret vault, they all asked: "Is the scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' okay?"
Rizu nodded.
After receiving a positive reply from Rizu, all the clan members let out a long sigh of relief.
Although they all know that the treasure box that stores the scroll of the "Caged Bird Curse" has a very sophisticated sealing technique. When the sealing technique cannot be broken, the intruder stole the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" The possibility is slim.
But the members of the clan shuddered at the thought that the scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' might be stolen.
Seeing that the clan members were so worried about the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" that could control the life and death of the branch family, Hizashi, the branch family member on the side, had an extremely complicated expression. He was both disgusted with the clan members' control over the "Caged Bird Curse Seal" and also worried about the "Caged Bird Curse Seal". The cursed seal really fell into the hands of others.
At this time, Rizu came to the murdered clan elder and asked: "How did the clan elder die?"
A clan elder stepped forward and peeled off the collar of the murdered clan elder, revealing two black teeth marks on his neck, and said: "Judging from the teeth marks, it should be a poisonous snake!"
Rizu said subconsciously: "How is this possible?"
Even ordinary Hyuga clan members cannot easily approach the secret treasury forbidden area in the mansion of the Hyuga clan, let alone other people. In addition, the elder of the clan who is stationed in the secret treasury forbidden area is an experienced person. For a ninja to die from a poisonous snake attack, this was really unbelievable to Rizu.
Another clan member glanced at Hizashi and ordered: "Those who are separated from the family should leave the forbidden area for the time being!"
Hizashi said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that we will separate our families?"
Faced with Hizashi's questioning, the members of the clan remained silent, but the suspicion and fear on their faces were not concealed at all.
There is no doubt that although the intruder failed to steal the scroll of the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', he planted seeds of suspicion between the Hyuga clan and the branch clan.
Considering that the intruder really came for the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', Hizu said coldly: "Hizashi, please step back first!"
Hizashi had no choice but to lead the separate patrol team out of the forbidden area of the secret library.
After all the members of the branch family left, a clan member asked Rizu: "What was stolen from the secret library?"
Rizu did not hide anything and told everyone about several ancient books that recorded the 'Cage Bird Curse Seal' that were stolen from the secret vault.
The one-eyed sect member said with an embarrassed expression: "Humph, I really came here for the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal'!"
Another member of the clan said: "I checked the visitor list and there are no outsiders in the mansion today, so the intruders can only be members of a branch of our family!"
Rizu shook his head and said: "It would be too arbitrary to conclude that the murderer belongs to a separate family~IndoMTL.com~ now."
Rizu does not blindly protect the branch family, but the clan elders who are in charge of the outer hall of the secret library also know the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', so it is difficult for branch family members to sneak attack on a clan elder who has the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal' . After all, as long as the clan elders activate the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal', they can instantly subdue any branch member.
One of the clan members who was the first to discover the cause of death of clan elders said: "It can poison clan elders instantly. The venom of this poisonous snake is absolutely extraordinary. Didn't you think of someone?"
Rizu's expression changed: "You mean Orochimaru?"
The clan member nodded and said: "Yes, Orochimaru attacked you and injured you before he defected. Everyone must still remember that incident!"
What the clan members were referring to was naturally the incident where Orochimaru collected materials for Hyuga Mirror's reincarnation eye test for the last time before his defection a few years ago. In that incident, Orochimaru personally attacked Nizu and obtained part of Nizu's flesh and blood, allowing Hyuga Kagami to collect all the special genetic sequences.
Due to Orochimaru's high position and sensitive identity, the Hyuga clan did not publicize the matter at that time, but everyone within the clan knew about it.
Hizu said: "Do you suspect that some members of the branch family are colluding with Orochimaru in an attempt to obtain the 'Caged Bird Curse Seal'?"
The members of the Zong family all nodded, unanimously expressing their doubts about the branch family.
After pondering for a long time, Rizu said: "Rizhao was by my side when the incident happened, so he can be trusted. I will ask him to cooperate with us to conduct an investigation on the branch family!"
At this time, a member of the clan said solemnly: "I heard that many people in the family have been questioning our family's tradition recently, and some people even openly questioned Rouquan..."
