Chapter 461: Commotion in the Blood Prison Part-2

Later in the evening,

"All prisoners and security personnel gather in the exercise hall. This isn't a drill! I repeat all prisoners and security personnel gather in the exercise hall"

One of the guards releases an announcement.

"Huh! What's going on? Why are they summoning everyone to the exercise hall?" The prisoners gossip among themselves.

"Did something happen again? Or someone attempted to escape?" A prisoner asks one of the guards. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

"Some higher-ups from Kusagakure came for an inspection. So, all of you behave yourself. Perhaps your attitude might impress the higher-ups and reduce your punishment." The guards issue a warning as he unlocks the prison cells.

"Now, I am curious about it!" The prisoners walk towards the exercise hall with some excitement.

"I can smell some drama!" Another prisoner remarks.

"Hehe it has been a while since something interesting happened in this bloody place." The prisoners grin.

Sasuke and Ryzetsu glance at each other.

'I got some news this afternoon. These people might be the higher-ups of the Fruit faction. We must be careful with our actions.' She warns him.

'Mm I will keep it in mind.' Sasuke assures her and glances at the entrance of the prison.

A few minutes later, all prisoners gather in the exercise hall.

"Why did they gather us here? What's going on?" The confused prisoners gawk at each other.

At the top of the bell tower,

Mui glances at the prisoners with narrowed eyes. Four figures in animal masks of a goat, ram, monkey, and bull beside him.

"Mui, your incompetence is disappointing." The goat-masked figure rebukes him.

"The flower faction might have grown wary of our activities. They might take action to thwart our plans."

"I am deeply sorry for my incompetence. I will personally hunt down the spy and execute him." Mui bows and apologizes to the higher-ups.

"There is no need for that!" The ram-masked figure waves his hand.

He opens his palm and releases four snake-like beasts from his hand. The snakes quickly slither down and enter the crowd.

"What are these?" The prisoners swiftly avoid them. The snake hisses at the prisoners and randomly wraps around a prisoner and bites their neck.

"What what's this? Get away from me!" The prisoner attempts to get rid of the snakes, but the snake bites their neck and releases their venom.

The skin of their victim turns purple. This further agitates the prisoners and some of them weave hand signs to attack the snake with a jutsu.

ARGH Ugh

The celestial fire prison seal on their body activates and lights them up on fire. Other prisoners quickly avoid them like the plague.

Sasuke recognizes one of the prisoners as a jounin from Konoha. He takes a step forward to save the latter, but someone tugs his sleeve from behind.

"Give it up!"

Ryzetsu's voice echoes in his ear.

Tch

Sasuke activates his Sharingan and peeks inside the room.

'Looks like no one is here!'

He closes his eyes and senses the chakra in his surroundings.

'Found him!'

Sasuke notices Maroi sneaking around in the castle.

Whoosh

He flickers behind Maroi and reveals his presence.

Whoosh

Maroi swiftly coats his hands with lightning chakra and attacks him.

Chirp chii

Sasuke blocks Maroi's attack with his bare hands. He grabs Maroi's arm and overpowers him.

"I will spare your life if you tell me where is Mui?" Sasuke summons a kunai and places it against Maroi's neck.

"Wait wait hold on! I am with you guys!" Maroi raises his hands in surrender.

"I am also a spy, just like you." He reveals his identity.

"Why should I believe you?" Sasuke questions him as he presses the kunai against Maroi's neck. Blood trickles down from Maroi's neck.

"Wait wait! I will prove my identity. Please give me an opportunity." Sasuke seals Maroi's chakra and releases him.

Phew

Maroi heaves a sigh of relief. He wipes the blood from his neck and takes out a kunai from his pocket.

Slash

Maroi slashes his left arm to reveal a prosthetic arm. He takes out a scroll and hands it over to Sasuke.

Hmm

Sasuke glances at Maroi and narrows his eyes.

"A puppet user?"

Hehe

An ugly smile appears on Maroi's face. Sasuke ignores his smile and inspects the scroll for any traps. After ensuring safety, he opens the scroll and reads its contents. Sasuke recognizes the official seal of Raikage on the scroll.

"So, you are a sleeper agent of Kumogakure!"

After a few seconds, he returns the scroll to Maroi.

"Yeah, kind of! I spent eight years in this prison to seek an opportunity to steal the box of Ultimate Bliss. These past few years, I slowly gained the trust of the higher-ups of the Fruit faction and grew closer to the current warden Mui. However, all of my hard work was for naught with the Fourth Shinobi war."

"Very well. I will trust you. So, tell me where are Mui and those Fruit faction higher-ups." Sasuke asks him.

"He is in"
