Seventh Reincarnation
Abduction Cases

19 Years later.

"Then I'll go."

Hiruzen showed a respectful attitude. As time went on, he was no longer the hot-blooded young man he used to be, but a calculating adult.

"Go, I won't drive you."

Ars waved his hand to chase away, and treated the Third Hokage casually.

Even so, Hiruzen was not angry, and left the house.

"Hufttt~... More and more people are disappearing, huh. Since detection magic doesn't detect intruders, the culprit is an insider."

Exhaling the smoke, Ars placed the half-sucked cigarette into the ashtray, and read the document Hiruzen handed to him.

The document lists the names of people who have mysteriously disappeared in the past three months.

If it was a typical missing person case, Hiruzen would not have asked Ars for help, who in fact was a Guardian. However, after deploying the Military Police Forces and Anbu, there has been no hint of their whereabouts missing.

At first, only civilians disappeared, but as time went on, even people from large clans disappeared as well.

This incident angered the missing clan members, as the missing people included famous clans like the Senju Clan, Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, etc.

At least hundreds of people were missing within three months. Konoha now has a curfew and does not allow people to leave their homes until 21:30.

"It's peculiar... I don't remember this happening on the plot, and this event was never told. Could this be the butterfly effect I caused?"

Ars touched the Tailed Monster Pressing Necklace on his neck. Besides Kyubi, he has captured and sealed the other Bijuu.

"Wait a minute, it's true that my actions have had a major impact on history, but it's not just my existence that can change historical events. Besides me, there's another Reinkarnator in Konoha. Could this all be what Lin Fan was doing? But why would he kidnap people?"

After three years of observing, Ars came to the conclusion that Yamanaka Lin Fan was not a threat to Konoha, so he no longer spied on him. So he had no idea what the other party was doing lately.

"There's no point in speculating without evidence, the most important thing right now is to find the perpetrator behind the kidnapping incident."

Glance at the wall clock that shows at 3 pm.

"There's still time before night, let's try to see how Lin Fan lives."

Ars closed his eyes and used [Magic Sense].

Its senses spread rapidly enveloping the whole of Konoha. Except for a few special places that Kekkai (Barrier) had installed, none of them escaped his surveillance.

Most of the great clans installed the Kekkai, so Ars could not peek at their residence.

"No strange things were found. Maybe the culprit was more cautious after the security increased. Well, since I have no activities, there's no harm in maintaining this condition."

After all, Ars is a NEET (Unemployment). He could not go out for several months to several years, with the food source in [Storage Magic], he did not need to go buy food.

"I can't believe I couldn't find the mastermind of this kidnapping." Ars said indifferently.

...

A week has passed.

Perhaps because the Military Police Force often patrols and the Anbu hide in the dark, for a while no one else disappears.

It wasn't until day 10, when everyone's tense nerves started to loosen, that the culprit finally moved.

That person was wearing a robe that covered his body shape, and wearing an animal mask covered his face. He looks like an Anbu at first glance, but his behavior is suspicious and he doesn't seem to want to do anything good.

Coming to one of the rooms, he walked silently to the bedroom. Quickly, he covered the sleeping woman's mouth and knocked her unconscious.

Put the woman on her shoulder, then she uses [Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)] to leave the place.

His mastery of [Shunshin no Jutsu] was extraordinary. Neither the Military Police Forces nor Anbu knew of his actions, and within a short time he returned to his hiding place.

That person believed deeply in his abilities and was sure that no one would be able to track him.

However, he was unaware all his actions were under the supervision of the hidden Guardians of Konohagakure Village.

The Ars house.

Ars opened his eyes and his expression was so calm that people did not know what he was thinking.

"So it really was him! He had behaved well all along, but why did he start doing bad things? Never mind, it's better to see with your own eyes."

Using [Stealth], he instantly teleported to the residence of the Yamanaka Clan.

In addition to [Kekkai] to disturb the senses, there are several other [Kekkai] types such as alarms, traps, illusions, etc.

He used [Limitless] to distort space. As a result, Ars managed to get through all [Kekkai] safely.

The Yamanaka clan was famous for its spirit-oriented Jutsu, so he did not use [Magic Sense] to avoid being perceived by anyone.

At Mach 100, Ars checked all the rooms in just five seconds, and he found Lin Fan's bedroom, but no one was there.

(There should be a trigger mechanism to open the hidden room.) Ars thought while trying some things like changing the order of books on the shelf, shifting the paintings and so on.

Finally, he found what he was looking for as he knocked on the tatami floor.

(Only this tatami makes a strange, empty sound on the other side.)

And sure enough, when Ars pulled the tatami, he saw there was a rung that led underground.

(Well, given that the civilization of this world is not very advanced, it is only natural that hidden rooms do not have adequate security systems.)

Downstairs, he did not forget to close the secret entrance, and descended the stairs in a hovering manner so as not to cause the slightest sound.

The darkness of the road did not interfere with his vision, because Ars had [Night Vision] magic.

After two minutes of going downstairs, he saw a 30-square-meter room.

In the room, there was a middle-aged blonde man. In front of him was a long table, and a woman lay.

The middle-aged man was none other than Yamanaka Lin Fan.

Seeing that Lin Fan was performing eye-lifting surgery, Ars was in no hurry to act, as the woman was already dead. So there was no point in him appearing, it was better to watch from the side and determine the other party's goal.

(Does he want to graft the Byakugan into his eyes? Not true, this was not the first time the members of the Hyuga Clan had disappeared, it meant that Lin Fan had already obtained the Byakugan, so why would he kidnap the other members of the Hyuga Clan? Instead, what was his motive for kidnapping so many people?)

(Let's watch a little longer.)

With his current strength, Lin Fan was no match for him. Ars can beat him whenever he wants, he wants to know the other side's goal of doing all this.
