The chaos from the Root's annihilation wasn't even resolved when the secret room housing the Scroll of Seals was infiltrated. Unaware that the high-security prison would also be targeted, Konoha was in a state of frenzy.

After leaving the Hokage building, Gensou arrived at an ordinary house.

Seeing the warm light inside, Gensou knocked on the door.

Soon, hurried footsteps sounded from within.

"Dad..."

As soon as the door opened, the person inside eagerly began to speak, but upon seeing who it was, he stopped, his joy turning to confusion, though he still politely asked, "Who are you?"

Gensou smiled at the boy, "I am a friend of your father's. May I come in?"

"Of course."

Believing in the good security of the Konoha residential area and not suspecting Gensou of being a bad person, the boy, Shoji, led him inside.

It was a modest home, but clearly well-kept and decorated with care, giving it a warm, cozy feel.

After some brief conversation, Gensou looked around the room, his attention drawn to a few books on the couch that had clearly been read recently.

"The Will of Fire - New Edition by the Third Hokage"; "The First Hokage Who Pacified the World"; "Chronicles of Konoha"; "Tales of Tenacity in the Shinobi World"

"You enjoy reading these kinds of books?" Gensou asked, pointing at the books on the couch.

"Mm-hmm!" Shoji's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. "I want to learn from the respectable Hokage predecessors. After all, my dream is to become Hokage!"

"Become Hokage?"

Seeing the fervent light in Shoji's eyes as he spoke of his dream, Gensou changed his initial plan.

He had intended to take Shoji away from Konoha, back to his true family. Despite the Root's fall, traces remained. It was only a matter of time before Konoha discovered the connection between him and Shoji. Although they wouldn't harm a child, Shoji's future prospects would be limited.

But seeing Shoji's genuine desire to become Hokage, Gensou realized that imposing his own plans would only cause resistance.

His father had asked Gensou not to burden his son with the "Hagoromo" name, clearly aware of Shoji's persistent dream.

"Konoha's ideological education is truly impressive," Gensou mused.

At that moment, Shoji looked at Gensou and asked, "Mr. Hagoromo, do you know where my dad is? He usually comes home around this time."

"He has gone far away. You will need to learn to take care of yourself from now on," Gensou replied.

"Is he on a mission? Leaving in such a hurry without telling me..." Shoji muttered.

"I have to go now. Let me give you a gift," Gensou said, preparing to leave.

"A gift? That's not necessary..." Well-mannered Shoji started to refuse.

Suddenly, Gensou appeared behind him, pressing his fingers to Shoji's forehead.

Shoji's eyes rolled back as he fell asleep, feeling his memories of meeting Gensou that night rapidly fading.

"This is for your own good. Although Konoha, led by Tsunade, won't probe a child's mind, they will still conduct routine inquiries."

"If you want to be a Konoha ninja, you should have no connection to me."

With that, Gensou sealed Shoji's memories of him.

Next, Gensou proceeded the study. He pulled out a scroll detailing training insights and, after reading it, quickly made some amendments.

In the future, when Shoji pursued the path of a ninja and found his father's training insights, he would avoid many pitfalls and achieve greater success.

Leaving behind more powerful jutsu or forbidden techniques would only lead to Anbu confiscating them and suspecting Shoji.

By contrast, the training insights were unremarkable, even if they detailed many training issues. Others would merely think he was meticulous with a solid foundation.

Gensou knew exactly what kind of gift to leave.

Just as in the Warring States period, after eliminating those unworthy foes, he understood he couldn't leave without handling the aftermath properly. Neglecting the aftermath would cause more harm than good.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Soon, he completed the modified training insights.

Leaving the gift behind, Gensou bid farewell to Shoji.

Taking one last look at the brightly lit village of Konoha, Gensou swiftly headed out of the

village.

Konoha High-Security Prison.

Located six kilometers outside Konoha Village in a secluded and deserted area.

Not every ninja wielding extraordinary powers is kind and gentle.

Even in Konoha, known for its positive atmosphere, there were still plenty of wrongdoers.

Like the person Gensou was looking for this time.

Once a top instructor at the Konoha Ninja Academy and also "his" teacher, the man who tried to obtain the Scroll of Seals, Mizuki.

After easily defeating the guards at the prison gate, Gensou calmly walked inside amidst the

blaring alarms of the prison.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

"Kill them! Yes! Just like that!"

"Young man, your skills are impressive!"

"Time is of the essence! Open the cells quickly! You can't hold out alone; let us help you!"

"Sir! Please, I beg you! Let me out!"

"Release mine first! Or I'll kill you!"

"...."

Having just defeated a Konoha squad that had come to reinforce the prison, Gensou heard the loud whistling, banging, cheering, and cries for help from the prisoners on both sides of the

hallway.

Seeing the hated Konoha wardens defeated, the long-imprisoned inmates shouted excitedly, continuously demanding Gensou release them.

Gensou glanced at them.

"Too noisy."

With that, he flicked a shuriken on the ground with his toe.

Whoosh! The head of the loudest, burliest inmate was instantly split in two, dead beyond

dead.

Instantly.

The entire prison fell silent.
