Chapter 33 - Night of the Nightingale

In the outskirts of the village

A shadow was quickly moving through the forest

'Damn! how did that brat noticed me!? I am a professional assassin and the people who can notice me are all elite jonins or the ones with special dojutsu! ' the man was continuously moving through the forest while hiding his tracks.

He was using the forest to return to the Uchiha clan or the grand's elder house to be more specific, when suddenly he came into an abrupt halt.

Right in front of him , on a tree branch ahead of him, a man in black cloak and purple mask was standing there, all alone.

It was full moon night, the forest was looking even more enchanting being bathed in this silver light .

The man in front of him was standing still, his black cloak reflecting the silver light and were swaying slowly in the slow breeze of the forest.

His purple mask was shining with silvery radiance and an azure colored eye were glowing from it.

if a painter could depict this scene then it can only be recognized as a Master piece .

Contrary to the beautiful scene, the assassin was alarmed.

"He appeared here without notifying me, it's almost that he came out of thin air!

" Who are you? " the shadow was now visible due to the silver moonlight, he was wearing a black ninja cloak and a white mask just like an anbu.

"Anbu? No, you aren't . Anbu doesn't have members with a mask like you. So, you are a

Uchiha spy huh. " I deliberated and watch his reaction

The atmosphere around the black figure changed.

'Looks like my guess are correct. ' I thought to myself.

Specially trained ninjas like them don't reveal any information even if you torture them but..

The change around him notified me that my guess is correct.

The change in the atmosphere around him was caused by subconscious chakra release.

If a suspicious guy wearing a weird dress like me were to suddenly revealed his identity with confidence then even if the spy didn't speak,

he became vigilant of me and subconsciously

release some little bit of chakra to gaurd against any suprise attacks.

Normally , you won't know it but I am very sensitive to chakra influx due to my sparkle finger and the skin shedding that I do,

and even if the ninja knows about it, he can't do anything because he did it subconsciously or rather involuntarily which means that it was an involuntary reflex action which can't be controlled by him.

"How are you so sure? " the assassin asked me.

"Well, let's see.

Why are you moving so sneakily and being extra careful about not leving any traces? So, I pretty much guessed that you were doing it to not get caught or followed by anbu members." I replied to him in a Hoarse yet nonchalant way.

'Bastard! he only guessed it and was checking my reaction!? ' the assassin cursed.

' He thinks that I am an uchiha. I can't let him live whether he was just guessing or not! '

The mask ninja slowly pulled out a sword from inside his black cloak.

' Oh, so he has decided to kill me, I haven't tried to fight my best even with the fight with Orichimaru. ' I similarly took out a kunai.

'Let's see my progress! '

*Whoosh* the air around the purple masked

suddenly become wilder.

'His chakra suddenly increased!? ' the masked shinobi was alarmed.

*Phew*

I instantly moved in front of him.

*Clang* the white masked assassin parried it.

' Fast! is it teleportation jutsu? ' the white masked assassin fall back and retreated towards a tree branch behind him.

*Phew*

"Again! " the white masked shinobi was surprised.

*clang*

the shinobi parried it again and fall further back.

'What type of jutsu was that? It wasn't body flicker, he didn't even cast a single hand seal.

if this continues then I will eventually be caught off gaurd then.... '

the masked shinobi looked towards the purple masked figure in front of him.

"You surely are fast. " the masked shinobi commented towards the purple masked figure.

*phew*

the purple masked figure disappeared.

"Hmph" the mask shinobi smirked

* Clang*

He again parried it but instead of retreating,

he closed his eyes and opened it.

Scarlet eyes with 2 tomoe were slowly revolving in both of his eyes.

"Sharingan! " Izuna blurted out but it was already too late. After saying those words, izuna got into a state of trance for a second but it was already enough for the mask shinobi to thrust his sword through izuna's heart!

*poof*

"Clone? " the masked shinobi was surprised and quickly retreated to gaurd against a surprise attack but it didn't happen.

'It wasn't a shadow clone but a low grade clone jutsu, how did my sharingan didn't manage to distinguish it? ' the masked shinobi analysed his situation and the more he thought, the more he became frightened.

Only one question was on his mind,

"WHAT'S GOING ON !!? "

" I always thought " a voice resounded from all the directions.

the masked shinobi look back and forth trying

to find it's source.

" What would happen if I combine the 3 basic ninjutsu? '

The mask shinobi instantly realizes what was going on but it was already too late.

*Whisss*

The mask man look down on his sword and found an explosive tag wrap around it!

"Damn it !! " the masked shinobi quickly thrown the kunai away from him and jump up in the opposite direction to avoid the explosion.

*Stab*

A kunai coated in lighting chakra was stab through his heart!

"Too bad that sharingan doesn't have 360° sight. " a cold voice whispered in his head.

*Thud*

the masked shinobi fell on the ground.

'I.... I have..... heard his voice before. '

the masked shinobi used every last bit of his strength to look towards the purple masked figure .

As he looked towards the figure, cold azure eyes shone through the purple mask and greeted him.

"Those eyes..... you are..... " the masked shinobi died.

*whizz- whizz-whizz*

Multiple shinobis appeared one after another from the dark.

I scan through all those ninjas surrounding me.

'Black cloaks and animal masks' I smirked.

"Come out... Danzo! "

Hearing that name, every shinobi present there became vigilant.

"How do you know? " a figure slowly came out through the darkness, silver moonlight shone through him , revealing a man in his 30's wearing a dark cloak.

'his dressing sense changed? 'I looked at him

"Does it matter? " I replied in a hoarse yet nonchalant manner.

"You are right " danzo looked coldly towards the purple masked figure.

"Go and capture him for interrogation. " danzo ordered.

All the ninja present there follow his order without questioning and surrounded the purple masked figure

"Why were you trailing that uchiha? " I asked in my hoarse yet nonchalant voice

Danzo motions his hand to stop the ninjas.

" How do you know? " danzo asked in a cold voice.

"Your people came out just after my battle, it wasn't a coincidence I guess... If my thoughts are correct then you were trying to frame me as a spy of the enemy country who attacked and killed the uchiha. " the purple masked figure smirked inside his mask.

"Hoh, your deductive skills are impressive and your fighting skill isn't bad either. Would you like to join my organization? " danzo asked.

"I have no interest in joining the root. "

Danzo's eye tighten.

"How do you know about it? it should have only been known amoung the konoha's inner circle of four.

Are you a spy from one of them? " danzo asked.

"I don't work for anyone and as for the information, let's say that my network is quite big." I replied in my usual nonchalant yet hoarse voice.

"Hmmm, I am getting more and more interested in you.

Well everything will be clear once I catch you"

danzo voice resounded and all the other shinobi started surrounding me again while blocking all the escape paths.

"You think you can catch me? " the purple masked figure asked but this time his voice wasn't the same. His voice contained a touch of mockery.

"Yes" danzo was confused why that person was still so calm but he didn't pay much attention to it and immediately ordered his men to attack him.

*Poof*

As soon as the attack fell, the figure turned into white smoke.

"Shadow clone! " danzo was shocked but he quickly calm down and check his surrounding.

The forest area was covered with the dust and debris from the explosive tag from before but weirdly, the clouds of dust weren't settling.

Danzo was surrounded by his men immediately after they found out the anomalies and remained vigilant.

Both danzo and his men realized that they were trapped and were playing at the hands of their enemy from the start!

Danzo was agitated not because of the dust slowly surrounding him but rather the fact that he was played by his enemy.

His ego was hurt.

Danzo now was in his prime and still hasn't turned into that insideous bastard who will sacrifice even the village for his dreams.

A part of the dust cloud disappeared and revealed a figure of a cloaked person with his purple mask standing on top of a tree

The silver moonlight was shining behind him and his azure eyes were shinning brightly inside his mask.

The scene was breathtaking yet eerie because of those cold eyes behind the mask.

"I am Nightingale, remember it.

And, so long~"

the figure waved at them and scattered into countless purple little Nightingales.

"Genjutsu!! " danzo blurted out in shock.

'When did he-' Danzo suddenly remembers

'That explosion tag was covered with drug powders that spread through the explosion! '

Danzo face sank.

'He already knew that we were already there and he prepared for it during his fight. '

"Danzo-sama, the uchiha corpse is missing! "

a ninja quickly reported.

"DAMN HIM!!! "

[AN: I tried to shorten the chapter but....

😑😑😑 You can already guess the end result. ]
