The moment the large inmate died, the previously noisy prison fell silent. However, the next second, an even louder commotion erupted.
This time, the prisoners not only whistled and cheered but also hurled a barrage of insults at Gensou.
Unwilling to tolerate their behavior, Gensou drew his kunai.
Anyone who insulted him was immediately killed with a barrage of kunai.
Soon, the prison was awash with blood.
After more than half of the prisoners were dead, the prison finally fell silent.
The remaining inmates, previously arrogant and terrifying, now cowered in their cells, trembling and afraid to even glance outside.
They had thought their savior had come to break them out of prison.
But it turned out to be a more terrifying executioner than the wardens.
In a short time, Gensou had killed more prisoners than had died in the prison in over a decade.
How could they not be terrified?
At that moment, Gensou, the only one still standing in the prison, surveyed the scene with a blank expression. Seeing no one else daring to court death, he proceeded deeper into the prison.
Given Konoha's ways, those imprisoned here were not necessarily the worst of the worst, but they had definitely committed numerous crimes. After being locked up in such a dark environment for so long, many of their minds had become twisted and extreme.
For such people, even though the prison was Konoha's and the prisoners hated Konoha, Gensou's stance in his first and second lives was the same.
Who said breaking into a prison meant freeing the prisoners inside?
Even in ancient times, there were certain crimes for which pardons were not given.
To Gensou, these people staying in prison was the best outcome for them.
After eliminating the noise, Gensou quickly disarmed the prison's defenses and found Mizuki's cell.
"Mizuki," Gensou called out to the dark cell.
"Who are you?" A man emerged from the darkness, the first antagonist of the Hokage series, Mizuki.
Unlike his gentle demeanor as a ninja school teacher, Mizuki had now transformed into a muscle-bound brute.
Those unfamiliar with him would barely recognize him at first glance.
Mizuki looked at Gensou with confusion.
After spending some time in prison and a chance encounter with Orochimaru, who left a curse mark on his arm, Mizuki had grown considerably stronger. Recently, he had even persuaded the Wind and Thunder Gods to join him in a breakout plan.
Unexpectedly, someone had come to break him out today.
"Could it be someone sent by Orochimaru-sama?" Mizuki wondered, excited by the powerful curse mark within him.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, Gensou, having assessed him, nodded. "Yes, it's you."
"You—"
Mizuki sensed something was wrong.
Just as his expression changed and he prepared to act, an overwhelming force suddenly bore down on him.
With a loud crash, Mizuki was hurled back, embedding deeply into the prison wall, unable to move.
Ding!
Side Mission: The True Graduation Test of Uzumaki Naruto (Completed)
The host, alongside Uzumaki Naruto, defeated Mizuki, who harbored malice towards Konoha and coveted the Sealed Book. The Third Hokage greatly appreciates your actions.
Mission Reward: Ten seconds to read the Sealed Book
Shifting his gaze from Mizuki, Gensou did not immediately accept the reward. If he had only ten seconds to read the Sealed Book as described, the current environment was not suitable for reading.
With the mission completed and nothing more to do, Gensou turned to leave.
At that moment, a coarse voice suddenly called out, "You've taken down Mizuki. How will we eat now?"
Gensou turned to see two extremely large men in a cell looking at him innocently.
"Eat? What do you mean?" he asked, stopping out of curiosity.
The two large men pointed to Mizuki and said, "Mizuki said he would take us to find someone who would give us lots of food. Now he can't go. How will we eat?"
These were the simple-minded Raijin and Fujin.
"If you stay in prison, you'll have food," Gensou replied casually, before leaving without further concern for the two gluttons.
Watching Gensou leave, Fujin scratched his head and said, "He makes a good point."
Thunder God agreed, "Then let's stay in prison and wait for food."
The brothers quickly abandoned their escape plan and settled back in the prison, waiting for their next meal.
Outside Konoha Prison.
Finding a secluded spot, Gensou accepted the side mission reward.
The next second, a large scroll appeared before him.
"It's identical to the one in the Hokage building's secret room."
With one glance, Gensou confirmed that the Sealed Book before him was identical to the one in the secret room, down to the patterns on the scroll.
"Is it a copy, or is it the original?"
With time limited, Gensou quickly opened the Scroll of Seals, ignoring other forbidden techniques, and immediately focused on the Reanimation Jutsu and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, scanning the contents as quickly as possible.
At the same time.
In the Hokage building's secret room.
The door, now newly sealed, was guarded by significantly more personnel.
Yet, they couldn't have imagined that the Scroll of Seals, sitting securely on the stone platform, would suddenly vanish.
The seals, which had just thwarted an intruder, showed no signs of activation.
As if everything that happened was an illusion.
Ten seconds later.
The Scroll of Seals reappeared on the stone platform, just as it had been.
Meanwhile, outside Konoha Prison.
After ten seconds, Gensou tried to keep the Scroll of Seals in his hands to continue reading, but to his surprise, it turned from solid to intangible and vanished in an instant.
When it said ten seconds, it meant ten seconds.
"Interesting."
Seeing his empty hands, Gensou had witnessed another ability of the system firsthand.
Fortunately, he had seen what he needed to see.
With his excellent memory, he had committed the contents of the Reanimation Jutsu and the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to memory.
This trip to Konoha was a complete success.
Now, he would begin his plan to restore his soul.
Once fully restored, it would be time to resume the path he had started long ago with the Kekkai Genkais.

Konoha Village.
Early the next morning.
Sakura, yawning, headed to Konoha Hospital to continue her medical ninjutsu training. On her way, she once again encountered an equally tired and yawning Ino.
Ino greeted her first, "Sakura, didn't you sleep well last night either?"
Sakura nodded, "Yeah, it felt like there were a lot of people walking on the roof."
Ino could relate, "It was fine at my place, but a lot of clan members were woken up and left during the night. My dad was one of them. I don't know what happened, but it made it hard to sleep."
Despite their potential, the two girls were still just genin and unaware of the major events of the previous night.
However, soon enough.
When two Anbu suddenly appeared in front of them, requesting their cooperation for an investigation, and then asking many questions about Dr. Sosuke, Sakura and Ino exchanged bewildered and surprised glances.
So, what exactly happened?
In the Land of Iron, at the Five Kage Summit.
Unaware of the news from Konoha, Tsunade, accompanied by Shizune and Naruto, had traveled day and night to reach the Land of Iron.
After meeting with Mifune and getting a good night's rest, they proceeded as planned to the specially prepared conference room for the long-awaited second Five Kage Summit with the other four Kage.
When Tsunade and her team arrived, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was already seated, with Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi standing behind him.
"Onoki, it's been a while," Tsunade greeted with a smile.
During the Ninja World Wars, when she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were a team, they often fought against Iwa-nin. There was an incident where they were surrounded by Iwa-nin, and in a critical situation, Orochimaru suggested killing the severely injured Jiraiya, a memory Tsunade remembered well.
If she recalled correctly, Onoki was the commander of the Iwa-nin troops during that incident.
Hearing her, Onoki looked over, smiling, "Tsunade, I didn't expect you to become Hokage."
"Things develop unexpectedly, just like you still being the Third Tsuchikage," Tsunade replied casually as she took her seat.
Onoki sighed, shaking his head, "There's no helping it. Not everyone has Konoha's abundance of talent."
"Isn't there new talent?" Tsunade glanced past the familiar Akatsuchi and looked at Kurotsuchi.
Onoki responded, "This is my granddaughter, just here to gain experience. Don't praise her too much."
Despite his words, Onoki's expression was far brighter than before, clearly pleased with Kurotsuchi.
"Granddaughter? She doesn't look like it at all," a voice suddenly spoke in the conference room.
It was Naruto.
Initially overwhelmed by the reality of attending the Five Kage Summit and meeting the legendary Kage, Naruto had been excited and a bit nervous, behaving unusually subdued upon arrival.
However, after a while, he relaxed, realizing the legendary Tsuchikage was just a kind old man. When he heard Onoki mention Kurotsuchi was his granddaughter, he earnestly compared them and then, disbelieving, voiced his thoughts quietly.
In the conference room, everyone had sharp hearing.
Instantly!
Onoki's cheerful face stiffened; Tsunade suppressed a laugh, looking elsewhere; Shizune maintained her expression with effort; Akatsuchi silently took a step back.
Kurotsuchi, on the other hand, looked at Naruto, who appeared younger than herself, with a sly smile, "Kid, who are you?"
"You're not much older than me," Naruto retorted, then confidently introduced himself, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage."
"Hokage?"
Kurotsuchi looked in surprise at Tsunade, who was an idol to many kunoichi.
Unlike Naruto, Kurotsuchi, who knew more, was baffled by Tsunade bringing someone who looked like a recent academy graduate to the summit.
Could such a silly kid really be recognized by Tsunade?
Onoki, knowing more than Kurotsuchi, suppressed his annoyance and seriously examined Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto… the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Tsunade has taken an interest in him? Would Konoha agree?"
Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was no longer a secret after the Chunin Exams. Given the challenges in controlling the tailed beasts, Jinchuriki often had tragic and resentful childhoods.
With the investigative abilities of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, it was naturally determined that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Truly as willful as the rumors say."
Onoki glanced at Tsunade.
Bringing a Jinchuriki to the Five Kage Summit was not as simple as it seemed.
In the ensuing time, Naruto and Kurotsuchi, who were close in age, constantly bickered.
Soon, the Fourth Raikage A, accompanied by Darui and C, entered silently. Glancing around, he noticed the young and unfamiliar Naruto but said nothing and took his seat.
The Mist ninjas arrived shortly after.
Like the previous arrivals, the Fifth Mizukage Mei curiously looked at Naruto, the youngest and least known person present, and instead of remaining silent, she cheerfully asked, "Who is this handsome blonde boy?"
"Blonde? Handsome? Are you talking about me?" Naruto, surprised, pointed to himself.
Receiving confirmation, he grinned widely, his face showing a mix of pride and bashfulness at being called handsome for the first time.
In gratitude, seeing Mei wearing a hat similar to Tsunade's, Naruto, knowing her identity, addressed her as he would Tsunade, "Mizukage Granny…"
Boom! A fair fist immediately sent him flying.
"Call me sister, you little brat!" Mei growled through gritted teeth.
"As expected. True to his title as the most unpredictable ninja."
Recalling the description of Naruto in the Konoha ninja files, Tsunade was unsurprised by the scene.
Bringing Naruto here, if nothing unexpected happened, that would be the real anomaly.
Fortunately, the atmosphere had livened up considerably.
All in all, it wasn't bad.
After the commotion, things quickly calmed down, and the previously disrupted scene was swiftly restored.
Back behind Tsunade, Naruto rubbed his red cheek, thinking the place was too dangerous and decided to keep quiet.
Finally, the Sand ninjas arrived.
Seeing a familiar face, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he immediately discarded his previous thought.
"Gaara! You're here too…"
Naruto enthusiastically walked over to greet Gaara.
But after a few steps, he noticed something, pointing at Gaara in shock and stammering, "Gaara! You… you… you…"
"How did you… become the Kazekage so quickly?!"
