The Cloud Ninja's expression changed, he snorted angrily, turned, and ran.
He did not want to be delayed by the person in front of him and miss the chance to escape from Konoha.
As long as he could escape from Konoha, the series of plans set up by the Village would be initiated.
"Trying to run? It won't be that easy!" Uchiha Sora's Shadow Clone immediately gave chase.
Although this was only a Shadow Clone, his Chakra, speed, and other attributes were not weak.
This Cloud Ninja's strength was at best that of a Jonin; there was no telling where he got the confidence to come and kidnap Hinata.
Sora's Shadow Clone pursued him relentlessly, while a blue Chakra sphere rapidly formed in the palm of his right hand.
Rasengan!
The intense Chakra fluctuations of the Rasengan immediately broke the fleeing Cloud Ninja out in a cold sweat.
"That technique, I absolutely cannot get hit by it!" He had no choice but to stop running, turn around, and use a Ninjutsu to defend himself.
Running blindly would definitely result in getting hit!
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Following the Cloud Ninja's hand seals, a thick wall of earth quickly rose in front of Uchiha Sora, and the Rasengan slammed into the earth wall with a loud bang.
Boom!
Dirt and stones flew everywhere, and the earth wall was immediately smashed, creating a large hole! It collapsed with a roar!
Uchiha Sora broke through the earth wall, closed in on the Cloud Ninja, and immediately unleashed a barrage of Taijutsu.
"Damn it! Such power!" The Cloud Ninja had not expected his Earth Release Ninjutsu to fail to block the opponent. At this moment, carrying Hinata while having to deal with Taijutsu attacks, he had completely lost the chance to escape.
Just then, several auras were rapidly approaching from not far away.
Realizing he could not escape, the Cloud Ninja, driven by shame and anger, attacked the Shadow Clone like a madman.
After all, a Shadow Clone was just a Shadow Clone. Previously, the Cloud Ninja had been in a hurry to escape and hadn't used much strength to deal with him, but now, going all out, he quickly forced the Shadow Clone into a retreat.
"Die!" The Cloud Ninja slashed off the Shadow Clone's head, his expression ferocious.
But the next second, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
The Shadow Clone whose head had been severed vanished with a "poof" into a cloud of white smoke.
"What?! It was actually a Shadow Clone!!!" The Cloud Ninja felt deep hatred!
He hadn't expected that this guy who had been chasing him relentlessly had been nothing but a clone from start to finish!
He was so angry he could almost vomit blood.
At this moment, those few rapidly approaching auras finally caught up.
With several swooshing sounds, the Cloud Ninja found himself surrounded by several Hyuga Ninja.
The leader was none other than Hyuga Hiashi, who wore a grim expression...
Meanwhile, near the Third Hokage's house, Uchiha Sora's real body received the information transmitted back by the Shadow Clone and realized the time to act had come!
If nothing unexpected happened, Hyuga Hiashi would kill that Cloud Ninja and find the Third Hokage to report, and then the Kumogakure envoy would, upon finding out, immediately turn the tables and threaten Konoha to hand over Hiashi's corpse.
The occurrence of this series of events would definitely leave Konoha's upper echelon in a state of chaos.
Uchiha Sora smiled inwardly, and at the same time, he began to clear out the sentries near the Third Hokage's house.
These Anbu responsible for the sentry duty were actually not very strong; most of them were only at the level of elite Chunin.
With Uchiha Sora's current strength, let alone Chunin, he was confident he could take down even a Jonin.
With a few Genjutsu, the Anbu on sentry duty fell one after another.
Following that, Uchiha Sora walked swaggeringly into the Third Hokage's house and came to the study to start searching.
Soon, he found the scroll of seals.
Opening the scroll and looking at the Forbidden Techniques recorded inside, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"I can only take this time to secretly copy down a few more Forbidden Techniques to take back. If I were to take the scroll of seals away directly, the Third Hokage would definitely mobilize the entire Konoha to search for it."
Uchiha Sora thought to himself as he took out a blank scroll he had prepared long ago and began to record with a pen.
Because the Ninjutsu in the scroll of seals were very complex, it was certainly unrealistic to copy them all down in a short amount of time.
Therefore, he could only selectively copy a few.
The first one he wanted to copy was the Flying Thunder God Technique; this space-time Ninjutsu was also the most important goal of his operation this time.
With the Flying Thunder God, he would have a trump card to face Obito.
Besides this, another one that had to be recorded was the Edo Tensei.
There were other Forbidden Techniques, such as the Spirit Transformation Technique, Reaper Death Seal, and the like, but the content was relatively long, and he was afraid there wouldn't be enough time.
In the end, Uchiha Sora also chose to record the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique.
These three Forbidden Techniques were all developed by the Second Hokage.
By the time he finished recording everything, several hours had already passed.
The Shadow Clone that had been staying near the Hokage Building also vanished, conveying the news that the Third Hokage had already left the Hokage Building.
Uchiha Sora did not dare to stay any longer; he put the scroll of seals back exactly as it was and slipped away.
It was only then that the Anbu who had been knocked unconscious by Uchiha Sora's Genjutsu began to wake up one after another.
They immediately contacted each other, and upon concluding that everyone had been knocked out without anyone noticing, they realized that the situation might be serious and hurriedly sent someone to report to the Third Hokage.
At this time, the Third Hokage was walking out of the Hokage office building in a state of distress, accompanying Hyuga Hiashi as they walked toward the Hyuga Clan, while also trying to counsel him.
The two had not walked far when the Third Hokage received the bad news that something had happened at his house.
The Third Hokage immediately thought that his study had likely been visited by someone.
Because the most important information in his house was the classified documents and Forbidden Technique scrolls in the study.
Regardless of whether the opponent was after the secrets or the Forbidden Techniques, this was all big trouble that would affect Konoha!
Associating this with the recent Hyuga Clan incident, the Third Hokage understood that this was likely a long-planned conspiracy by Kumogakure.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Sora had already returned to his home.
He hadn't expected that Kumogakure would take the fall for his operation this time.
He couldn't wait to take out the Ninjutsu information he had just copied and began to study it.
Of these three Ninjutsu, except for the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags which was A-rank, the other two were S-rank.
With Uchiha Sora's own talent, let alone learning them, he might not even be able to understand them just by looking.
But with his automatic cultivation system, with the system's help, no matter how difficult these three Ninjutsu were, they actually didn't amount to much.
After Uchiha Sora carefully studied them several times, the system successfully popped up a prompt: "Through repeated research, your Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags technique has successfully entered automatic cultivation mode!"
"Through repeated research, your Impure World Reincarnation Technique has successfully entered automatic cultivation mode!"
"Through repeated research, your Flying Thunder God Technique has successfully entered automatic cultivation mode!"
