Jun and the rest turned to see Jiraiya crouching down at the window looking at the three of them. His wild silvery white hair, which stuck up like spines of porcupine and his animalistic behaviors made Jun view him like a wild animal gazing at him. It always felt like he was trying to decipher some problem known only to him and was searching for the answers in others. Looking at Jiraiya inside his office despite the wards made The Third exasperated at both his expertise at Sealing Arts and his wild uncontrollable behaviour. He swallowed down his irritation and scolded Jiraiya."Brat you once again broke my wards without my permission? I don"t have to tell you hat will have if the secrecy maintained by the wards is compromised, do I?"
"Chill out old man" Jiraiya "I didn"t break them. I found a flaw and slipped inside without breaking your wards through that flaw. Before going I will modify the wards and remove that flaw don"t worry. But we have bigger problems, namely the Evil Spirit Beast you guys were talking about. If my guess is right , and I am pretty sure it is , that Spirit Beast is real bad news."
"Why do you say so? Anything we should know?" Third
"Yes. Well this is sometime time before N…. ahem .. Kushina was pregnant with her kid." Jiraiya started to explain. Third"s eye twitched slightly when Jiraiya had almost spoken Naruto"s name.
"Anyway, back to the point" Jiraiya "At that time we were once having conversation about a new type of seal that was under the Uzumaki"s best Sealing Arts developers. She claimed that this seal, even in its prototype stage, would have surpa.s.sed the Eight Trigram Seal which was generally considered the best Sealing Jutsu after the Death Reaper Seal. Moreover, the finished product would definitely stand toe to toe with the Death Reaper Seal in terms of potency."
Third gasped softly, since he knew what the Death Reaper Seal was capable of. No, scratch that, he didn"t know the limits of that seal because its potency depended on the power of sacrifice. More valuable the sacrifice is to the user, more powerful the effects. Its power was displayed when the Fourth hokage even split the strongest tailed beast in existence, the Kyuubi, in two halves, and sealed both halves in different bodies. In fact he himself learned the Seal later after that incident to honor the memory of the valiant sacrifice of the Fourth, and it made sweat run down his spine when he recalled the dreadful power he felt while practicing that seal. That seal deserved the word Demon in its name as that ent.i.ty called by the seal definitely wasn"t anything remotely human.
"Did you find out any records of it ?" Third
"According to what Kushina told me, I did also go to Whirlpool village during the mission was a.s.signed to at the time of Kyuubi incident. I found some incomplete doc.u.ments which was hidden in the secret doc.u.ment vault. However apart from the development details of that seal, it also contained some researcher notes about the new Spirit Beast they were going to experiment it on. However the most disturbing thing was the future powers of the beast theorized by the researchers. The Uzumakis kept this to themselves but the beast might go berserk if released from seal, and also one of its dormant powers will activate. It can release evil spirits or usually known as demons which can possess people. It can effectively create an army in weeks of its release and turn all the villages inside out against themselves. It can devour the original spirits of those it posseses to stimulate its full recovery from its unstable state. We are lucky that its still sealed and unstable."
"Well That being as it may, according to the information Jun has brought us, The beast will be unsealed latest by 2 years if we don"t do anything. There are four Sealing Mirrors of Hope as they are called. We will send a response team to get the mirrors secretly as planned. On the other hand, Jiraiya you will go to the Valley of Evil using Jun"s directions and see what you can do to help. " Third
"OK. So we have to Find the remaining mirrors and seal the d.a.m.n beast right? Should be easy." Jiraiya
"Ah , Jiraiya san. Don"t raise such flags. What would you do if all goes to h.e.l.l because of your reckless declaration." Jun lamented in his mind.
"Ok then, Inu you and Jun will be a.s.signed on this top secret SS ranking Mission. You are allowed no contact with village until you finish it, apart from asking for reinforcement in extreme emergency. But I doubt you will need it Inu as long as you are low key and secretive about this." Third "Jiraiya as planned You go to Valley of Evil and research the Beast. Also see what you can find out about those Ninjas who attacked Jun and inform me. I have a feeling that the secret of the Beast is not so secret after all. "
""" Yes!! """ Jiraiya, Jun and Inu responded.
"Jun you stay back a bit." Third
Hearing that Jun stayed as Inu and Jiraiya left. Third gave him the scroll Hinoki gave Jun to deliver to the Hokage.
"This contains the possible locations of the Scroll, the information of the secret regions of the other Guardians, also the Sealing art Jiraiya was talking about. I didn"t realize it until Jiraiya started talking about it. You should keep it and practice it. The Living Seal : Chakravyuha , ominous name but suitable for sealing something like that beast." Third.
Jun took the scroll and glanced at it, The information on the Seal itself was a treasure, not to mention its application methods and information on secret regions of other four guardians. If this was not an emergency then this would have been a SSS rank secret.
"You have one week before you leave for the mission. Your first target would be The Sulfurous Valley, More details should be in the scroll .Go and prepare." Third advised and Jun left the office.
