36 BSNW CH 034 Masks and Secrets (1/2)

Jun looked at the wall in front of him in astonishment. Lines of masks were lining in that wall, which was incidentally on top of a podium below three ancient symbols.

'Probably setup by Uzumaki's before they all fell' Jun thought was he walked to wards the podium. The used his chakra sensing at max but couldn't sense anything wrong. However he could see a kind of black flame burning beneath the masks.

He moved towards one of them with his Sage mode sensing changes in environment around him at max. When he had almost touched one, he could sense the black flame blazing slightly. 'Maybe its some kind of a trap, if I pick wrong mask then these flames will attack me' Jun mused.

Normally one would not wanna mess with such protected objects. However Jun was curious about what was being kept under so much protection. He roamed his hands over each of the masks, all giving same reaction. Finally he swept his gaze to the top row. Unfortunately due to size of the wall, it was above his reach. Usually he would have just attacked with one of the plant vines and got what he needs, but these masks were dangerous and maybe had sensors or something against Jutsu that may touch them. Moreover he didn't know if they would react to plant the same way they would to a human hand. After a lot of thought he finally figured a way. Instead of applying Jutsu to his surrounding, he did it to himself. He remembered Naruto transformation Jutsu from original series. Due to his dense chakra, the transformation Jutsu had become solid true transformation whenever he applied it. He decided to use that idea. Using Nature Chakra he directed a lot of it to his Transformation Jutsu. After a lot of time he finally gathered enough to get a solid transformation. He transformed to a supposedly adult form of himself, taller better physique and long hair for some reason. He then finally figured out that the Mask on the third from right on the top row was the only special one among them all. He took it down slowly but no trap assaulted him. After sighing softly he backed away slowly until he was outside the shrine. After coming out he observed the mask using his skill.

[Mask Of Oni : ?????

'What the hell?! Just what is this?' Jun

[Extremely Risky Object made by imbuing some of the world's laws. Potent and Dangerous powers maybe summoned on using the mask. Recommended to keep it stored away in Key Section of Inventory]

'Key Section?' Jun

[Part of inventory under High Security. Even user would be prompted before retrieving any object from that section. Powerful or important objects can be stored there for safety.]

'That is OK. But why cant I view the information related to the mask.'

[Powerful artifacts need Observation skill at max before being able to observe. User is simple not proficient enough with his skills right now.]

'Well , fine.' Jun replied and stored the Mask in his key Inventory as suggested. He decided to rest in that building for the night since he didn't want to risk being discovered by Rokkaku. He sat in meditation to spend the night.

In Hokage's Mansion

An ANBU appeared outside Hokage's room and knocked since it was pretty late at night . The third came out wearing casual robes, his wizened face showing his age which was usually hidden in the grandeur of the Hokage Attire.

”What happened Inu ? So late at night ?” The Third
