A Flying Thunder God Kunai flew into it, and Second Body also vanished from her original spot, entering the graveyard. She then proceeded deeper, using the same method as before when encountering obstructive barriers.
Second Body was very grateful to those unfilial Senju descendants; otherwise, it would have been incredibly difficult for her to enter the depths of the graveyard. Now, it was a smooth path.
Uzumaki Mito probably never imagined that the first ones to dig up the graves and bodies would be Senju clansmen; otherwise, she might have been angered back to life.
The graveyard, contrary to expectations, was not permeated with deathly aura; instead, it was full of vitality. A large amount of Wood Release Chakra made the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees exceptionally lush.
In short, the grave weeds were three zhang high. Her gaze swept over the small tombstones one by one, and in the night, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled circular spots.
Second Body dared not activate her Sharingan, and even kept her Chakra as silent as possible, fearing that these barriers could detect Sharingan Doujutsu and Chakra.
If all the barriers were triggered, it would be troublesome. For the peace of the old Senju seniors, Second Body was extremely careful, to the point of being a bit sneaky.
"Senju Kazuhiko, Senju Toshio, Senju Ai, Senju Sachiko, Senju Hiroya..."
Second Body walked and recited the names on the tombstones. Coupled with the eerie environment and the flickering phosphorescent lights in the graveyard, it was truly enough to scare someone to death.
Second Body, however, didn't feel scared. Her strength gave her confidence; even if all these Senju clansmen revived, they wouldn't be enough for her to fight.
As for ghosts, she had even seen Otsutsuki Hagoromo, a thousand-year ghost king. Would she be afraid of these little ghosts, at most a hundred years old? Their ashes would be scattered by her.
The deeper she went, the stronger the Wood Release aura became, and the more abundant the vitality. It didn't resemble the soil of the dead at all; instead, it was a vibrant immortal land.
Second Body took out a compass to ascertain the direction. These Senju natives were buried completely without regard for geomancy, leaving her with the skill to slay dragons but no way to apply it.
"Damn it, you deserve to be trapped in the Pure Land, never to be reborn."
Second Body put away the compass. Although these people were buried without following geomancy, the more distinguished they were, the higher their burial position and the wider their plot.
Walking up a small hill, Second Body casually dispersed the ghost fires that followed her. The deeper she went, the earlier they had died, and the more phosphorus had leached from their bones, causing this place to be full of eerie green ghost fires.
"Senju Touka, hmm, should be close. Senju Nawaki, oh, he died quite miserably. Senju..."
As she walked up the hill, her gaze swept past the graves of Uzumaki Mito and Senju Hashirama, finally settling on a rather large mound. The tombstone clearly read Senju Tobirama.
"Hehehe! Tobirama, you old scoundrel, I'm here!" Second Body didn't want to disturb Senju Hashirama and Mito. Anyway, she had Hashirama cells, and Mito was a respectable person, so it was better not to disturb her peace.
Those who specialize in Sealing Technique are good at storing their Chakra. Didn't Minato and Kushina, even after being dead for over a decade in the original story, still help Naruto pummel the Nine-Tailed?
Given Uzumaki Mito's Sealing Technique, it was reasonable for her to leave behind a Chakra clone capable of full power. So, it was better not to disturb her.
Second Body didn't want to experience the joy of being bound like the Nine-Tailed. There's nothing appealing about a flat-chested loli being bound, right?
Second Body began to examine the barrier layout of Tobirama's grave, while using Cursed Energy to sense the structure within the tomb, trying to find a way to directly access the main burial chamber.
"It's quite simple, a main burial chamber, two side chambers, and a passage."
The Ninja World also seemed to have some customs of treating the dead as if they were alive, but the structure was very simple, not even comparable to the minor officials in some places in her previous life.
Using Orochi's Earth Release ability, Second Body circled around the barrier and quickly found a corner between the main burial chamber and a side chamber.
Looking at the perfectly intact barrier in front of her, it was still not as strong as the barriers in other directions. It was probably affected when the barrier of Hashirama's grave was destroyed earlier.
She used Sage Art Chakra to construct a Sealing Technique formula and injected it into Flying Thunder God Kunai. After inserting three Flying Thunder God Kunai into the three corners of the barrier, Second Body began to form hand signs.
"Three-Way Seal, Reverse!"
Using the three Flying Thunder God Kunai as nodes, she performed the reverse application of the Three-Way Seal, opening a triangular gap here.
There was no need to dig a tomb-robbing tunnel; Orochi's ability allowed her to easily pass through hard rock, and then she arrived in a small space filled with a musty, decaying smell.
She took out a Sealing Scroll to seal the stale air and released the fresh air stored within.
"Fresh air is good. Tobirama is too unhygienic; he doesn't even open windows to air out the place."
Second Body's palm condensed Lightning Release Chakra, forming a brilliant white ball of lightning. She didn't use a fireball because a lightning ball doesn't consume oxygen.
The dazzling white light illuminated the not-so-large tomb chamber. She was currently in the passage leading to the main burial chamber. The stone walls were adorned with depictions of Senju Tobirama's life achievements.
There was nothing interesting to see; it was all glorified by the Senju clan. She went to the nearest side chamber and saw a blue battle armor placed there.
Needless to say, it was the blue battle armor that Senju Tobirama wore as clothing. As for anything valuable, there was absolutely nothing.
Second Body couldn't be bothered with these broken bowls, dishes, and pottery. This was just Senju Tobirama's daily items; there wasn't even a single small gold coin.
"He seems so incorruptible, but don't think I don't know you used all your embezzled funds for research!"
Second Body grumbled and walked to another side chamber. Here, there was a small bookshelf with several scrolls placed on it, which looked promising.
Second Body casually took one down and unrolled it. It recorded the Forbidden Techniques that Senju Tobirama had developed throughout his life, such as Darkness Release Art and Flying Thunder God, and so on.
Some convenient Water Release Ninjutsu were still useful, and Second Body memorized them all. However, Second Body put this scroll back in its original place. The second scroll contained some of Senju Tobirama's presentable experimental records.
It was also useless, not involving Forbidden Techniques, and the research level was shallow, but some of the ideas were good and could be used as reference.
The third scroll recorded Senju Tobirama's life, a combination of autobiography and diary. It was evident that most of it was written by Senju Tobirama himself.
"Who writes a diary if they're a normal person?!" Second Body grumbled, but it did record many interesting little anecdotes and details of the First Great Shinobi War.
Although these were roughly documented in the Ninja Academy and libraries, these details, filled with personal conjecture, seemed plausible.
However, they were not of much use. After putting it back, she took out the last scroll. As soon as it was unrolled, the scroll spontaneously combusted, and a surge of Chakra emerged from it, flying into a barrier.
"Holy crap! This is bad!" Second Body immediately tried to intercept it, but as soon as she Body Flicker Technique-ed to that barrier, she saw a man wearing blue battle armor with white hair and sharp eyes emerge.
"Oh no! He's a zombie! Senju Tobirama is attacking!"
As soon as Second Body saw Senju Tobirama, although she knew it was an consciousness preserved by Chakra, it still made Uchiha Rei complain about Senju Tobirama's treachery.
