BECOME MADARA'S GRANDLE IN NARUTO WORLD
TRAVEL TO THE COUNTRY PART - 2

I started my search of the compound Uzumaki. Using the seal given by Kushina, I easily passed through the barrier and started fumbling around the complex to look for clues.

My search was futile, even after two hours of thorough searching. I almost gave up and returned when my gaze fell on the small temple that was similar to the outer temple.

I rummaged through the temple and found an Oni mask inside. I checked the mask to find a seal or something. Immediately, I saw a complex sealing formula near the forehead. It is designed very complicated and difficult to notice.

'This is a summoning formula.'

After careful examination, I concluded that this was the summoning mask for the 'Dead Demon Consumers' Seal'.

'Weird, so weird. So, there were two such masks, the other one was located in the outer temple. Perhaps this one was destroyed during the invasion of pain and Orochimaru was unaware of it.

Also, Uzumaki will keep some sort of replica with themselves. Only after checking both of them can I find out the True Mask.'

I pocketed the mask and exited the Uzumaki compound outside Konoha.

Soon, I reached the outskirts of Konoha in front of the Uzumaki Clan Temple or the Uzumaki Clan Noh Mask Hall. There was a gigantic replica of the clan symbol at the entrance of the Temple.

There was another powerful barrier protecting the Temple.

'Hmm, Strange, there should be no barrier here. Orochimaru and the rest of Taka's team easily trespassed into the Temple. Perhaps, over time, the barrier shattered.'

The seal given by Kushina allowed me to enter into the Temple. Inside the temple in the middle was a kind of podium where several Oni masks were hung under three connected clan symbols, under all of them ornate, black flames.

I started to check these masks one by one to check out any secrets. But everything is just a porcelain mask, and only one is real. I took the original one and compared it to the previous mask.

'Hmm .. There is no difference between them. Both are made of the same material and at the same time. Somehow the Uzumaki clan placed this dangerous mask-like object on the outskirts of Konoha.

After all, not many crazy people let Shinigami possess them and then slice themselves to release sealed souls.'

I also wear this mask.

'I will return you to your position after my journey is over.'

I blinked towards the Hokage Office to inform Minato of my departure.

"Minato-san, I will be out of Konoha for a while. I had planned to visit Uzushiogakure to investigate the remains of the Uzumaki clan for clues about their extinction.

Also, I want to further improve my Fuinjutsu skills. Perhaps the residence of the Uzumaki clan could give me some inspiration."

Minato nodded at me and replied,

"Kushina told me about this. I'm surprised you reached the level of Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu so quickly. Your talent in Space-time Ninjutsu is higher than mine and even your Natural Transformation Skill.

Huh. Really, Izuna-kun. Your team is still undergoing treatment from previous missions. Tsunade-san has found a way to treat them. But the damage was already done, he could only prevent further damage to their bodies."

I left the Hokage Office when I told my parents about my departure. Mom packed a lot of food for me and reminded me to stay safe. My father encouraged me to go and explore the world.

My journey to the Land of the Whirlpool began. Tanah Pusaran Air is a small island country located in the Fog Sea. The trip to Uzushiogakure will take two days at my normal speed.

I moved at a steady pace as I looked at the 'Sin Seal'.

'Your secret will soon be revealed. I will find out your purpose from the remnants of the Uzumaki clan. Hopefully…'

My thoughts are contradictory about the 'Seal of Sins'. This seal allowed me to study the Dark Element. Also, I was stuck at the Master level in Fuinjutsu for two years with little progress. After I was branded by this seal, somehow my understanding of Fuinjutsu increased a lot.

The previous complex sealing formula became easier, everything came naturally to me, and in just seven months of this seal, I reached the level of Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu.

To be honest, I was very curious about the nature of this seal. From the Grimoire and the name 'Sin' and other clues, I could only relate it to 'Seven Deadly Sins' - a concept I read about in my previous life.

'This kind of power was related to a Demon or Demon creature. I wonder if there are Devils in Naruto World. I think there are Devils in the Naruto World, there are demons sealed somewhere in the Demon Country.

Naruto defeated the demons in the movie. I should check the place as well for further instructions. All kinds of strange powers exist in this world.'

The trip lasted for two days and I finally arrived at the Land of Whirlpools beach.

The village seems to consist of several tall buildings. A wide river flows through the village and is bounded by large bridges. The surrounding countryside is dominated by steep hills.

Now only the ruins are left of the once glorified village. Buildings were torn apart, bridges were broken, and not even a single building was intact.

'It's ironic, 'The Longevity Village' cannot last long enough and become history.'

I began to walk among the ruins of the Village and investigate any clues to the secret room or anything like that.

To my dismay, even after two hours of thorough investigation through the village, I was unable to find anything.

'I should have hoped for this much. When the village was destroyed, the invaders even had to dig the graves of Uzumaki ancestors to find secrets or valuable items.

How could they let the treasures of such a powerful clan escape without punishment? As for the rest, the village chief and elders must have destroyed an important secret to not let them fall into the hands of the enemy and benefit them. But still, there must be something that can help me progress further.'

I investigated once again but could not find anything.

'There must be some kind of hidden underground passage, a cave or something. It is usually in such an arrangement.'

I sat inside the remains of one of the biggest buildings in the Village as I flipped the mask in my hands while pondering. I think of this mask as a kind of key that will automatically lead me towards my destiny.

But reality hit me hard. There was no reaction to this mask. They did not even move in the slightest, let alone point out the direction.

As I was playing with the mask, one of the masks accidentally slipped out of my hand and fell to the ground. I leaned over to take the mask.

Suddenly, I saw something from the mask cutout. There are various small Fuinjutsu seals placed around the floor.

The gap in the mask's eyes magnified it in my view. I took the mask and pocketed it and activated my Sharingan.

After using the power of the Sharingan magnifier, I saw a large number of Fuinjutsu seals engraved all over the floor of the building.

The Fuinjutsu seal formed one large seal that covered a large area. To get a better view, I jumped high into the air.

A large seal appeared in my view. The Fuinjutsu seal is a symbol of the Uzumaki Clan.

'This is the most complicated seal I've seen so far. I wonder at what level the creator of this seal is at. If I tried to decipher it now, I would need months to study this seal and then I would have to find the key for this seal, which was even more difficult.

What kind of secret was buried within this seal? Can't I destroy everything and forcefully enter. But what if this seal triggers and destroys whatever is hidden beneath it?'

My thoughts were at odds when I saw the seal.

'This is not going anywhere. Let me try to forcefully enter.'

I started making 'Big Ball Arms' in my hands. After finishing the jutsu, I broke the seal while waiting for the ground to be torn apart.

Silence…

After coming into contact with the seal, the Rasengan simply disappeared without a trace. The seal absorbed the entire Chakra of Jutsu.

'If Ninjutsu doesn't succeed, what about Taijutsu?'

'Eight Inner Gates: First Gate, Second Gate, Third Gate: Life Gate'

I activated three of the Eight gates. That's my limit for now. I only control three gates in a year. My body cannot handle the other gate loads even with Hashirama cells, and I do not like the masochistic feeling of pain and continuous healing.

I jumped into the air to build up some momentum for my attack as I spun through the air.

'Storm Leaves'

I smashed my feet on the floor.

Cracks......
