Chapter 138 Blood and Tears
Chapter 138 Blood and Tears
"Crack--"
In the root base, the light on the top of the corridor has been flickering on and off for a while.
The fluorescent lamp kept emitting a disturbing, high-pitched whine, as if crying that its filament could not withstand this kind of teasing and might break at any time, causing the bulb to explode.
The root ninja who was responsible for guarding the duty room, or outside the detention room, was very irritated by the light.
When he first joined the Roots, he faced dozens of flashing lights at the same time during torture training. A week after that day, whenever he felt a slight change in external light, he would be sensitive and want to vomit.
As he contemplated smashing the lamp into pieces with his shuriken, the flickering stopped.
All the light bulbs in the corridor, like well-fed beggars, finally stopped making noise and turned on as usual.
The root ninja guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the door behind him was knocked from the inside. The thumping was very rapid.
"Is anyone here?" It was the voice of the child who was imprisoned today. "Let me out! I need to go to the toilet!" The
root ninja guarding the door was speechless for a while.
But considering that Danzo had said that the mother and son should be emotionally stable as much as possible, and that the two people inside were wearing handcuffs to prevent the generation of chakra, there was no threat, so he opened the door without hesitation.
Sasuke stood at the door with his hands tied. While looking at the root ninja, he glanced at both sides of the door, his eyes less innocent than usual.
Uchiha Mikoto seemed a little tired. She lay on the bed in the duty room and took a nap, even covered with a quilt.
[Do you really think this is your home? Is this the so-called jounin of the best clan? It's really cool to be able to sleep while inside the root...]
The scene inside the room further lowered the guard of the root ninja who was secretly complaining, and he did not notice the real purpose of Sasuke's next question.
"Why is there no sound at all outside?" Sasuke suddenly asked: "Weren't there a lot of people before?"
The roots are an ANBU team, and the standard number of ANBU teams is 12 people.
But when they entered the base, the total number of root ninjas the mother and son encountered was definitely more than 20, and the real number would only be more.
But it seems a little too strange that the base is so quiet right now.
"Everyone has other tasks. It's impossible to focus all my attention on you."
The root ninja explained vaguely, "Let's go to the bathroom with me."
"That's it..."
Sasuke got the answer, There was a slight joy of "then I'll be relieved" on his face.
The root ninja did not understand what the other party's expression meant. He was just in a daze. The kid's eyes actually switched to a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes, and then turned slightly -
the ninja twitched as if he had been shocked. , then stopped moving and stood up straight, like a soldier waiting for review.
"It's solved."
Sasuke let out a long breath and looked at the figure covered with a quilt on the bed. "He was alone, and he was surprisingly relaxed."
"Uchiha Mikoto", who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened the quilt, It was actually Sasuke again, and his little face was filled with the kind of joy that only a child can have.
He almost jumped from the bed directly to the door, looking at the three magatama "Sasuke" with starry eyes, and spoke the catchphrase of Infernal Anjuro :"Very good! Mom, you are so amazing! "
The next moment, the smoke exploded, and Uchiha Mikoto released the transformation technique and returned to her original appearance.
"The chakra that took so long to transform was almost consumed by just one transformation technique and one illusion technique. Okay, these handcuffs are really powerful. "
Uchiha Mikoto shook the silver bracelet on her wrist. Then she looked at the root ninja and gave an order: "Untie this for us. "
The root ninja immediately took action. After he formed a series of hand seals that were more complicated than Water Release and Water Dragon Bullet, Sasuke and Mikoto felt their wrists loosen at the same time. The handcuffs separated on their own and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. .
"Mom, what do we do next?" "
Sasuke jumped up and tore off the sealing talisman on the door of the duty room. Feeling chakra again, he immediately became confident, "Are you going to defeat all the ninjas in this place? "
Ever since he learned about Giyu's "great achievements" in Yunin Village at noon, Sasuke has always wanted to do something worthy to prove himself.
Although the ninjas in this base belong to Konoha, since they hurt Itachi, they have They are enemies. Sasuke doesn't care about any rules and regulations.
"Don't worry, we need to ask about the situation outside first. Otherwise, even if you get out from here, you will just fall into a trap. "
Mikoto gently touched the top of Sasuke's head, and Sasuke immediately calmed down and waited quietly. Mikoto
turned her head, took off the mask of the Root Ninja, looked directly into the other person's eyes and began to ask.
"How many people are there in the Root Base? "
"Including me, there are seven in total. "
Where are they? " "
"Two are responsible for guarding the prisoners in the cell, one is responsible for guarding Uchiha Itachi, one is sorting information in the intelligence room, and the other is cleaning. The last one is left, on duty in the control room. "
Hearing that there was surveillance, Uchiha Mikoto raised her eyebrows and immediately looked at the roof outside the door, and found that there was no camera facing her.
"Where is the surveillance? Are there any in this room? "
If there is, then her escape behavior will definitely be discovered, and she must prepare for the worst.
"No. The cameras in this area are at the entrance and exit of the passage. "
Mikoto blinked, as if she had an idea.
"Last question. "A small wrinkle appeared between Uchiha Mikoto's eyebrows, "So many root ninjas left, what mission did they go on? "
"I have no idea. "The root ninja shook his head and replied stiffly: "In order to keep it confidential, the root's mission will not be told to unrelated people. But I can probably guess that they are going to deal with it..."
This ninja suddenly got stuck and kept repeating the syllables of "Li...Li...Li", but could never say the next word.
His right eyelid continued to He kept blinking, his lips kept twitching back with the pronunciation, and his whole person looked like a broken machine.
"What's wrong with him?" Sasuke was horrified by this scene, "Is there a short circuit?" "
..." Mikoto was also confused, thinking that her genjutsu was used under restraint and an error occurred.
The root ninja continued to "short-circuit" for more than a minute before he stopped twitching.
Seeing that he had returned to normal, Mikoto immediately asked, "What happened just now?"
"Tongue Bane Jutsu Seal." The root ninja stuck out his tongue, and a complex symbol was printed on it like a tattoo, which made Sasuke feel sick.
"I can't tell any secrets about the roots, otherwise the curse seal will be triggered and the whole body will be unable to move."
Uchiha Mikoto raised her eyebrows, and she probably understood what happened just now, but being able to trigger the curse seal also shows that this The Nagenbu ninja guessed those people's goals correctly.
[Is there a way to bypass this curse seal? ]
Mikoto tried: "Can you write it down with a pen?"
"No." The root ninja shook his head.
Mikoto was not surprised. If this could bypass the curse seal, Danzo would be too stupid.
[But in this case, how to find out what these people know and what they want to do? Do you really want to arrest us just to investigate things related to Shisui? Or...]
She narrowed her eyes, suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked: "How was Uchiha Itachi caught? Is this a secret at the root?" "
Yes." The answer was affirmative.
"When was he caught? Is this also a secret?"
"Yes."
Uchiha Mikoto was like a hacker attacking a firewall, asking questions repeatedly to find loopholes that could be passed through.
"Then how long has he been locked up at the root? Is this a secret?"
This time, the other party finally gave a different answer.
"No. Uchiha Itachi is being held here for 24 hours soon."
A shiver ran down Uchiha Mikoto's back.
If that's the case, it means that Weasel was caught by the roots yesterday afternoon.
But the envoys from Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja clearly arrived in the morning!
[That note...]
Only then did Mikoto realize that the vague "I'm not going home tonight" message last night, although it was Itachi's handwriting, was not the tone that the child should have! If it was Itachi, he would at least apologize for not being able to go home and finish cooking.
[Why didn't I notice this at the time? ! ]
Deep regret and self-blame filled Mikoto's brain. She now wished she could go back to yesterday afternoon and kick herself hard.
But then I thought about it, the root ninja not only captured Itachi a day in advance, but also escaped the observation of so many Sharingan pairs in the clan before dark and left a note at her house...
[These people are not trying to do it at all... Investigate Shisui! ]
Combined with the fact that their mother and son were brought here.
[But I focused on Fugaku from the beginning! Targeting Uchiha! Shisui was just Danzo's legitimate reason to make this matter bright! ]
The near truth brought a huge shock to Uchiha Mikoto.
This crisis did not come suddenly, but had been planned for a long time. I am afraid that it is not only Fugaku who is in danger right now, but also all the clan members.
The disappearance of so many root ninjas was either for Fugaku or for other clan members. There was no other possibility.
[Must find out their plan. ]
Uchiha Mikoto immediately thought of the archives room.
"Will the root department leave an archive before dispatching tasks?" Logically speaking, this is a standard process.
"Yes." The root ninja nodded, "But all the documents in the root are written in secret words, and the contents will only be revealed after they are sealed in a specific order. The order of sealing is different for each file."
" That's enough."
Mikoto nodded and picked up the handcuffs on the ground, "Where can I find more of this?"
The root ninja gave the location: "Next door to the monitoring room is the equipment room."
"Okay, Your mission is completed." After Mikoto got the answer, she knocked him unconscious with a knife, and then hung the handcuffs on the other person's wrist.
If you can't create chakra, there's no point in being able to form seals.
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Without any extra explanation, Uchiha Mikoto immediately transformed into the shape of this ninja, put on the mask and walked out, closing the door.
Knowing that there was no way his mother would abandon him, Sasuke picked up the ninja's weapon, sat across from him and waited.
About five minutes later, Uchiha Mikoto returned, still stained with blood, and Sasuke couldn't help but scream.
"I'm fine, this is not my blood."
After a simple explanation, Uchiha Mikoto squatted down, wiped the blood on her hair, and said seriously: "Sasuke, today's things are very complicated. I will follow you slowly after it is over." Explain. But before that, you do whatever I say without any hesitation. Can you do it?"
Although Sasuke was a little flustered, his desire to take risks and prove himself supported him to overcome this. Uneasy: "Like a real ninja?"
"Yes." Mikoto repeated: "Like a real ninja. Now I am your boss. Every word I say to you is an order."
" I understand." Sasuke nodded heavily. He thought he would do some very dangerous work today, "I will be obedient!"
"Okay, come with me." Mikoto let out a sigh. She wanted Sasuke's promise to prevent him from following her to the most dangerous place. Local adventure.
The mother and son abandoned the ninja in the room and rushed all the way to the monitoring room.
Sasuke was surprised to find that Uchiha Itachi was lying on the ground in the control room, and leaning against the wall were three root ninjas who were restrained by handcuffs. They seemed to have been knocked unconscious.
"Where are there three more people?" Sasuke walked to Itachi and knelt down on one knee, asking doubtfully.
"There is one more in the archives." Uchiha Mikoto said, "That ninja is still useful."
"The remaining two..."
Seeing that his mother did not answer, Sasuke's eyes immediately turned to the monitor screen, and then At the door of the room where Itachi was previously locked, he saw two bodies lying in a pool of blood. One of them was directly nailed to the wall by Kunai.
"Sasuke..."
Mikoto knelt down and turned over her pale face that was stained by blood for the first time.
"Next, I'm going to the archives to get the basic information. You stay here and keep an eye on Itachi and those two people..." "
But..."
"Remember, Itachi's life is entrusted to you. ."
For the first time, Mikoto did not let Sasuke finish his thoughts and opinions.
"As for those two people, they may become important witnesses later. I can't waste time now. You can find a way to get some towels or anything larger and stuff them into their mouths before they wake up. You must not let them They committed suicide. The most important thing is that before I come back, no matter what happens, you can't leave Itachi's side."
Seeing what Sasuke wanted to say, Mikoto looked serious: "Don't forget what you promised me before. Wait. Here, strictly carry out my orders. This is a very important task, do you understand?"
Sasuke was a little maladaptive because of his different strict mother, but he still seriously agreed: "I understand. "
Then I'll leave it to you."
Without saying anything else, Mikoto left the room and went straight to the archives room.
"Roar——"
The moment the file room door was opened, a tiger made entirely of ink rushed towards Mikoto, but its aura was no less than that of the real King of Beasts, and even more terrifying.
"Thunder Release: Magnetic Field Spreads."
Mikoto's bright yellow chakra was rapidly emitted in the form of hundreds of tiny arcs, automatically finding and landing on all metal objects in the room.
The next moment, as Mikoto's handprints changed, the stainless steel desk in the middle of the room seemed to be given consciousness, and it immediately stood up to block the gap between Mikoto and the tiger.
The one who controlled the ink attack was the gray-haired boy who looked at Uchiha Mikoto in the corridor. Seeing this scene, he felt calm and even wanted to laugh...
"You underestimated the power of super fake animal paintings."
[Although it is only made of ink, its destructive power is far greater than that of real animals. above the tiger. ]
As expected, the stainless steel table was easily torn into pieces by Qingli Mohu's sharp claws like printing paper.
But Uchiha Mikoto behind the table had disappeared.
At this time, the gray-haired boy heard a crackling sound behind him and immediately realized what had happened!
"It's the lightning flash technique!"
At this time, it was too late to start painting again. The gray-haired boy took off the kunai from his waist and stabbed it behind him without looking. His reaction was already at its peak.
But just when the kunai was about to touch Uchiha Mikoto's top, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier and could no longer move forward.
"What's going on?!"
The gray-haired boy didn't understand what was happening, but then, an electric current escaped from the kunai and poured into his arm. The severe pain forced him to let go of his hand.
The young man gritted his teeth, took a step back and grabbed the Ninja Sword on his back, but it was clear that half of it had been pulled out, but the Ninja Sword seemed to be pushed back into its sheath by an invisible hand, completely out of his control.
From the moment Mikoto entered this room, all the metal inside was covered with her chakra, so these things would only be affected by her electromagnetic field.
It was too late for the boy to do anything else, because under Uchiha Mikoto's handprint, the kunai belonging to him flew up out of thin air and hit his neck.
The battle is over.
Uchiha Mikoto is still a jounin after all. Although he had not fought for many years, the ninjutsu used was completely new to this young ninja. The first time you meet, you will inevitably suffer a big loss.
He was forced by kunai and leaned against the shelf where the scrolls were placed. He coughed twice violently and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that you could break free from that restraint. However, you have also seen that I am already terminally ill. He's dead, so threatening me with death is meaningless. Besides, even if I want to say something, I can't say it...
"If you use the Sharingan on me to disrupt the chakra in my body, I'm afraid I will die. Faster, maybe within a few minutes. "
Looking at this sickly boy who was as old as Itachi, although Mikoto felt pity in her heart, she still hardened her heart just like she did on the battlefield more than ten years ago.
She did not hesitate, turning her Sharingan, this boy was like His eyes were empty like a puppet's.
Thinking of what the boy had said just now, Uchiha Mikoto asked simply and concisely: "I want all the information about Uchiha to be sorted out for me in reverse chronological order. "
Since time is limited, we can only start with the most recent files, such as what Danzo was doing when he transferred all the people at the root. The
gray-haired boy immediately started to take action, picking up scrolls or folders one by one. , placed in front of Mikoto in order.
Uchiha Mikoto picked up the file closest to her and opened it. The content on it was simply incomprehensible. In short, it had nothing to do with the mission of the ninja.
[Is it the root password?]
"Can Remove the encryption above? "
Mikoto asked a little worriedly, fearing that Danzo's curse seal could be so detailed.
Fortunately, the boy gave an affirmative answer.
With a series of his hand seals, the handwriting on the document turned into ink and was rearranged. , turned into meaningful content.
"You continue to unravel the rest. "
After giving the order, Uchiha Mikoto quickly scanned the document that had unlocked the code.
Date, today's date. Location, Konoha Village. Executive, twenty ninjas including Aburame Ryoma.
Mission content : After receiving the signal, lead the ninjas of Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja to break through the barrier and enter Konoha, surround Minagawa Shrine, activate the Second Hokage's ninja circle to assist the opponent's actions.
[Aren't Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja already in Konoha? Are you done yet?]
For the first second, Mikoto didn't understand the meaning, but she immediately realized it and exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be that there is another group of people? "
[Launch the Ninja Formation, surround Nanga River, and assist in the operation... Sure enough! ]
A bolt of thunder jumped back and forth in Mikoto's brain, [Did Danzo collude with these people and want to completely exterminate Uchiha? ]
The clan leader has not returned, and the clan leader's wife and the clan leader's son have disappeared without a trace. Given the character of the clan members, they will definitely gather at the shrine to discuss countermeasures!
"This old guy..."
Uchiha Mikoto seemed to have returned to the war years. She gritted her teeth and pushed away the document and picked up another one, wanting to know all of Danzo's plans.
However, what follows, in addition to the mission plan to capture Itachi, are several surveillance records targeting Fugaku, Itachi, Uchiha Tekka and Inari.
The earliest record can be traced back to more than ten days ago, before the summer vacation started!
It can be seen that this operation against Uchiha has been planned for a long time.
Mikoto raced against time to scan through the documents one after another, and finally stopped in front of a closed box. This box was not opened at all, unlike all the other scrolls and documents.
"That one is not encrypted." The gray-haired boy explained, "It was sent from the Kingdom of Water."
Uchiha Mikoto's heart skipped a beat.
[The Kingdom of Water? ]
[Since it is classified as Uchiha information, could it be...]
[Is it related to Giyu? ]
When she thought of this possibility, Miqin could no longer hold back and quickly opened the lid of the box.
But what caught her eye gave her heart a heavy punch, almost breaking it.
It was a summer assignment with a blood-stained cover.
By bloodstained, I mean there is a bloody handprint that clearly belongs to a child.
Mikoto stretched out her palms tremblingly, her eyes seemed to be covered with dark shadows, and her breathing became heavier and heavier unconsciously.
She had held Sasuke's hand when she took him away from the welcome ceremony today, so she knew the size of Sasuke's hand.
And Giyu and Sasuke are twins, which means the gap is almost non-existent.
In comparison with this, she pulled her hand back almost in horror, and even forgot to breathe for a moment.
"No, no, it will definitely not be Giyuu, it will definitely not be Giyuu..."
Then, Uchiha Mikoto took her summer vacation homework and flipped through it quickly, but the familiar, printed fonts, besides Giyuu, also Who can do it?
Countless thoughts were like a black cloud formed by mosquitoes, covering her heart and brain. Dark suspicions arose one after another, but they were cast aside by the hope of being a mother.
She selected a few acceptable ideas and kept mumbling...
"Giyu should have just been arrested, just like Itachi..."
"They just got their summer homework..."
"Not even Giyu. Be careful about what you throw away..."
She even forgot that with Yuiyong's level of care, she had never lost her belongings.
These thoughts have gradually deviated from reality. They are just her most innocent wishes that she most wants to realize...
After nervously closing her summer homework, Mikoto noticed that there was another letter in the box.
However, as soon as she opened it, before she read the content of the letter, her sensitive eyes had already caught Orochimaru's signature.
At this moment, the most fearful guess in her heart broke free like a dark monster and came to the very surface of her consciousness, temporarily suppressing all her reason.
Uchiha Mikoto moved her eyes away from that disgusting name almost numbly, moved her pale lips, and slowly read out the content of the letter.
"Before you sent people here, I had captured Uchiha Giyu, but I didn't see any undead heads, so I don't understand what you are talking about. As for the Sharingan, he is not the three magatama you speculated, but a double There is no need to collect magatama. In short, the experiment of eyeball removal is over..."
Mikoto's voice choked up, and tears stung her eyes.
"But Uchiha Giyuu..."
Heavy and suppressed gasps echoed in the archives room, as if her soul was being sucked out of her body bit by bit.
"I didn't get through it. It's... what a pity. I thought I could try a few more experiments. This is a rare Uchiha genius..."
was Orochimaru's tone.
At this moment, nothing could describe Uchiha Mikoto's mood at this moment.
The feeling of ice-cold blood all over the body and all the muscles in the body, including the internal organs, feel as heavy and stiff as stone, is the same as that of a real dead person.
A drop of blood was mixed with Uchiha Mikoto's tears, making the letter tremble back and forth.
The drop of blood kept sliding down, like a delete sign, rolling past Orochimaru's name.
"Orochimaru, Danzo..."
A low-pitched cry, almost beastly, came from the mouth of this Uchiha mother who had always been gentle.
As she stood up slowly, the lights in the entire room, the entire root base, and even the entire Konoha flickered, and there was a final bang -
every household in this village used it to welcome the upcoming event. The lights at night were completely extinguished.
In the dark archives room, the only light source was two captivating scarlet eyes.
The magatama in the pair of Sharingan eyes kept spinning, spinning, spinning...
Finally, it formed a brand new shape.
Looking for the name of Mikoto's Mangekyou Sharingan ability

Chapter 139 Home
Chapter 139: Arriving Home
Sanwei felt a little bit regretful.
The previous promise to live in Yiyong's body, now that I think about it, may have been a bit hasty.
Before it went to bed yesterday, it was at dusk, and Yiyong had just left the Shiky Bone Forest, the holy land of Slug Immortal in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
But now that Sanbi woke up, it was already dark for most of the new day, and Giyuu was already outside the walls of Konoha.
The slug made it very clear: it would take nearly two days to get from Uzushio Village to Konoha.
What's more, starting from the remote Shigu Forest, there is still an extra distance to be calculated.
However, it only took a short nap, and Yiyong had already reached his destination.
It can be seen that its new Jinchuuriki does not understand what rest is at all...
You must know that the ninja extracting chakra from the cells of the body is a kind of oppression on himself.
If they don't get a good rest, it will be difficult for them to stay healthy for a long time. There is a reason why those ninjas who have been gifted since childhood always die young.
[I'm afraid he won't live long if this continues...]
Thinking of this, Sanwei rolled around in depression in his mental ocean, as if he had just found a good house with good quality and low price, only to find out that the landlord not only had lung cancer but also liked to smoke. of poor young people.
I know clearly that the current situation is extremely good, but I just can't maintain it for a long time. Maybe it will end one day.
This feeling is very difficult even for the tailed beast.
[No, we can't go on like this. ]
[Although I can't fight, it's time to fight for myself...]
Sanwei thought for a while and decided to take the initiative to play some role so that the landlord could live a few more years.
Outside, Yiyong was running very fast along the wall. When he was about to reach the barrier near the Nanga River, a force suddenly surged out of his abdomen.
The warm feeling of fullness was centered there and continuously radiated to his limbs, greatly relieving him from the fatigue caused by rushing all day and night. He felt as energetic as if he had drank a ton of energy drinks.
"Isofu?"
Giyuu, who was running quickly, stopped and asked with some confusion, "Don't you still have one-third of your body that needs to be restored?"
[Why are you giving me chakra at this time? ]
"This..."
Sanwei's muffled voice rang in Yiyong's mind: "Before you put me in, that kid who can escape like Senju Hashirama, let me remind you from time to time..."
Yiyong Blinked. The three tails said it should be a butterfly ninja.
"If you don't rest, you will always face the enemy in a tired state, and problems will occur sooner or later."
Giyuu had already imagined the scene when the butterfly ninja told the three tails.
But in fact, this didn't happen.
The reason why Sanwei said this was because when he was placed in the water jar, he heard the conversation between Butterfly Ninja and Purgatory Anjuro, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
But in Giyuu's mental space, it could feel the faint guilt that remained in Giyuu's heart after he had to leave and broke his promise to Butterfly Ninja.
So based on what he thought, if he said this through the girl's mouth, it would have the greatest impact on Yiyong.
Sure enough, Yiyong hesitated.
He didn't expect that Butterfly Ninja's medical advice could be relayed to him despite being so far apart.
[What a very responsible doctor. ]
"I know. Then I will rest for a day and then go find trouble with Danzo."
Kyuubi's clone was automatically released as soon as Giyuu returned to the mainland, so he did not know the current situation in the village.
He thought for a moment, and there were many things to do in the next few days. Danzo's matters could really be put off for a while -
handing over the Sharingan collected by Orochimaru to the shrine's priest, holding a funeral, and letting the clan members rest in peace. .
Back at Ninja School, I still had three days of absence from school and no summer homework to hand in to explain.
Investigate information about Uchiha Madara, as well as Orochimaru's cursed seal and possible resurrection.
Of course, the most important thing...
is that Yiyong misses his family and desperately wants to reunite with them.
Although they had only been separated for less than half a month, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for months. This is a new experience for Yiyong that he has never had before.
Butterfly Ninja's judgment was correct. Opening his Sharingan whenever he was awake and switching his breathing method to the moon's breath that can make his spirit active at night did make him aware of the strange emotions that he had suppressed in the past. .
This nostalgia for family affection is one of them. The closer I got to home, the stronger the burning feeling in my heart became.
Of course, after Yiyong's perception of emotions is expanded, there will be good consequences, and there will also be bad ones.
A Giyuu with the Sharingan will inevitably become more like the rest of his clan in temperament, and will occasionally be irritated by things he didn't care much about in the past.
anyway.
Giyuu came to the edge of the Nanga River barrier while talking with Sanbi in his mind.
Just when Yiyong was about to use his hand seals to pass through the barrier, he keenly noticed that the surrounding environment seemed different from the past.
Under the scanning of Sharingan, even in dim light, the traces of changes are still obvious.
"Why don't you leave?"
Sanwei, who was communicating with Yiyong, realized something was wrong, "Is there any problem?"
"Yes. Before I went to the Kingdom of Water this time, I often came in and out from here, so I didn't care about the grass nearby. The trees are familiar..."
Yiyong said that when he was training at Nanga River Falls, he would pass by it almost every day.
He squatted down and pressed a bunch of weeds on the ground with his fingers. "It is obviously the sunniest time in summer, but the short plants are lying on the ground... It must be because there are many people walking here and trampling on them."
He picked up the things. He picked up a broken plant rhizome and touched the fracture. A drop of green juice stuck to his fingertips.
"And not long ago."
[Is he a tribesman? ]
Yiyong observed the surroundings. After all, this is Uchiha's territory.
Judging from the area of fallen vegetation, there were at least dozens of people passing by here before, and it was unlikely that they were small groups of Anbu.
But if it was a clansman, why did such a large number of actions occur?
An intuitive uneasiness took root in Yiyong's heart like a thorn.
[Could it be that during this period, Uchiha had another conflict with the village? ]
There was a hint of worry in his purple-red Sharingan eyes. He stopped thinking and immediately formed a seal and stepped into the barrier. It suddenly turned into a red arc and shot into the distance, eager to verify his guess.
Time goes back to the Uchiha clan not long ago.
"Have you found the person?"
Uchiha Tiehuo, the deputy captain of the security team, stood at the door of Fugaku's house and asked the security team members who had rushed back from various places.
"I've been to Shisui's residence, but there's no one there." "
I asked the vendors near the Hokage Building, and they all said they didn't see it, so they shouldn't be there either." "
The teacher at the Ninja School said that Sasuke wasn't happy at the welcome ceremony. After they dispersed, they were taken away directly by Mrs. Mikoto, and they have not been seen again since."
One of the older clan members was sweating profusely and panting, and concluded: "In short, in the entire Konoha, there is no place to look for We have searched all over. Some juniors also asked their friends in the Hyuga clan for help, but there is still no trace of Mrs. Mikoto, Itachi and Sasuke. It is as if they disappeared out of thin air."
Young people who graduated in the past three years Clan members all have one distinctive feature, that is, they all have many friends outside of their own clan, which is not surprising to Uchiha Tiehuo.
"If even Byakugan can't find them..."
Uchiha Tiehuo pressed his brows tightly, pinched and slowly opened his palms.
"Either they are no longer in the village, or they were taken to a place where they can be isolated from Byakugan's detection."
[Of course, there is also the possibility that Hinata's people are deliberately lying...]
In this current situation, any Outsiders cannot be trusted.
"Captain Iron Fire."
A group of security team members exchanged nervous glances: "What should we do if something like this happens?"
"Nonsense, of course we need to get Mrs. Mikoto back!"
A young man punched the girl hard. On the wall, "The person who secretly kidnapped Uchiha is obviously going to break up! No matter who it is, he must pay the price for it!" "It's
easy to put it, where to find it, how to find it, you know who did this ""
According to you, are you waiting for the old man Hokage to come back and seek justice? His absence at this time makes it extremely suspicious no matter how you think about it. Maybe this is part of the village's conspiracy. "
" That's right! I think we can just gather all the clan members and break into the Sarutobi clan's territory. Maybe we can find them."
"Idiot. Shisui and the clan leader, the two strongest Uchiha, are not here. We Are you sure of success in starting an incident at this time?"
"It's better than doing nothing! Just thinking about it makes you feel useless!"
The security team members glared at the Sharingan, and they were quarreling with each other. At the same time, as a The superior and elder Uchiha Tekka had to call a halt.
"That's enough! Can those words just now be said here?"
He cursed in a low voice and glanced pointedly in the direction of the Hyuga clan, and the security team members all shut up.
Every older clan member knows that there is a special department in ANBU that has been monitoring Uchiha's every move with high-powered telescopes.
Those people are proficient in lip reading, and even if they cannot hear the sound, they can still know what they are saying by the shape of their lips. Therefore, when experienced tribesmen speak, they usually turn their backs to that direction.
What's more, the mansions of the Hyuga clan are not far away.
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Hokage and his advisors specifically classified the Uchiha clan next to the Hyuga clan with Byakugan. Is this a coincidence?
"Fugaku told me before he left that if he doesn't come back before 12 o'clock, let us take action."
Uchiha Tiehuo pondered for a while, "But judging from the current situation, Mrs. Mikoto, Sasuke and Itachi, There is a high probability that he has been caught and will probably be used to threaten Fugaku. It can be seen that no matter who wants to deal with us, they should have a plan." The
security team members nodded in agreement.
"In this case, you go and inform all the Sanmagatama clan members to gather at Nanga River Shrine in a quarter of an hour. If we wait any longer, the situation will only become more passive, so we must have a countermeasure or assign our respective tasks."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the team members dispersed and rushed in all directions.
It is said that the Uchiha clan is so big that there is no place where they can hold meetings.
But under heavy surveillance, the sealed Nanga River Shrine became the last pure land of the tribe.
For many years, whenever the tribe encountered difficulties from the village, they would gather there to secretly discuss countermeasures. However, in recent years, the relationship between the two parties has gradually eased, so they have used it less.
Uchiha people have always been vigorous and resolute.
A total of thirty-eight Sanmagatama clan members soon arrived at the steps in front of Minagawa Shrine.
However, in order to express respect for the deceased, from the moment they stepped into the first torii gate, all the clan members only stepped on the stairs at a normal speed, and every face looked very appropriate and heavy.
The idea of "rebellion", which had not been mentioned for several years, suddenly revived, and even suddenly reached the point where the arrow had to be fired, which made most of the tribe feel a little unprepared.
Shisui, the number one Uchiha, has not yet returned, and the clan leader is left in the Hokage Building unaware of the situation. Once action is taken, no one can make an accurate judgment on the chances of winning.
Even if they are as arrogant and arrogant as they are, they cannot see clearly the future even a few hours later with their Sharingan.
Uchiha Tekka was the first to reach the top of the steps, and was not surprised to see the shrine door closed.
This is not the normal time for worship. The shrine's master and servants are ordinary people. It's almost time to rest as soon as it gets dark, and it's normal for the shrine to be closed.
"I'm going to knock on the door."
A young tribesman in his twenties immediately walked to the door, grabbed the knocker and started knocking.
Soon, footsteps sounded from inside, and it seemed like someone was walking to the door. But for some reason, the other party made no move to open the door.
"Is the Lord God still awake?" The young tribesman shouted: "Although it is a little late, please open the door. Everyone is waiting outside the door..."
Before he finished speaking, the huge dark red wooden door appeared on Suddenly it was covered in blue arcs of electricity, and the crackling sound was noisy and harsh.
A few meters away, Uchiha Tiehuo's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly: "Go back!"
But his warning was too late.
The young tribesmen never thought that they would be attacked in the pure land of the tribe.
Blue electricity surged into his body through the metal door knocker and wreaked havoc, leaving him unable to move and his hair curling. He lost consciousness in less than two seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tiehuo saw angrily that a thick and dark arm burst out from the door.
The huge palm tightly grasped the head of the young tribesman and pulled him in. The force was so strong that it knocked out a large irregular hole in the shrine door.
The next moment, Uchiha Tiehuo saw blue thunder and lightning gathering on the man's legs through the doorway, and immediately guessed the other party's plan.
The hard wooden door of the shrine was completely destroyed by the thunderous blow, turning into countless sharp and small fragments and attacking the Uchihas on the stairs.
"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Iron Fire was ready, and the seal was completed instantly. Before the debris hit him, he opened his mouth and spit out a
fireball - a fireball the size of a human head? ! ! !
[what happened? ]
As a Jonin, how could he make a mistake with a basic fire escape like Go Fire Ball?
Even if he made a mistake, with so much chakra, how could the fireball he spit out be only the size of the Phoenix Fire Jutsu?
The mistake just now left him no time to think too much, and the dynamic vision of Sharingan played its due role.
The flying fragments slowed down in the field of vision...
Uchiha Tiehuo completed the dodge in a hurry, successfully dodging all the fragments that hit his vital parts, but the arms, thighs and calves used to cover the torso were intensively inserted. Lots of wood thorns.
"Hmph. It seems those dark bugs really didn't lie to us."
A rough voice sounded, and the remaining door of the shrine was kicked, making a loud noise when it hit the ground.
"An Uchiha who can't use Fire Release is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. There is no threat at all."
Before the Uchiha clan members could get angry, fourteen more figures jumped onto the Minamigagawa Shrine from inside. wall. It seemed that they had been waiting inside for a long time.
These people were all muscular, brown and black, tall and tough, and they were looking down at the frightened and angry Uchiha people on the steps.
Among them, the strong man under the porch should be their leader. He is more than two meters tall.
"Uchiha Iron Fire, long time no see. You look much better than before."
He only wore half of his clothes on his upper body, exposing his muscles as hard as steel. As he spoke, he held the young tribesman's head with one hand, making him The latter hung in the air like a salted fish. It's just that this sturdy man's head is not only bald, but also has obvious burn marks.
"Mosui!"
Uchiha Tiehuo used kunai to clean away the wooden thorns on his arms that affected his movement, and asked in a cold voice:
"Why do these cloud ninjas appear in Konoha? How dare they hurt our people and destroy us? Uchiha's shrine!"
As soon as he said these words, the other thirty-seven pairs of three magatama sharingan burst out with ferocious red light at the same time, and the veins on his forehead bulged like small swimming snakes.
Except for Senju Tobirama who destroyed the old site with his water escape, the Uchiha clan has never been so offended before!
"The world of ninjas is a world where you can get ahead only if you dare to think and do."
The giant ninja named Mosui mocked: "You so-called bullshit ninja world's largest clan are really degenerate.
"We people are fighting outside. While you are training yourself, you are working as a security guard in a resort-like place with peace of mind. For this reason, there is no living person in your clan that we dare not kill. As for the shrine altar where the dead live, there is no need to worry.
"Is there any powerful dead Uchiha who will come out and teach us a lesson? Hahahahaha, don't laugh to death..."
With this person taking the lead, all the cloud ninjas are as big as bandits in the mountains. laugh it out. It was especially outrageous to do this in a shrine that honors the dead.
"The frog in the well! Don't forget how you got the scar on your head."
Uchiha Tiehuo suppressed his anger and did not attack rashly, but he was already on the verge of breaking out.
"Do you think that by setting a trap so that we can't use Fire Release, we have no way to deal with you?
"Have you seen these eyes? This is the foundation of our clan! As for Fire Release... remember one thing, it is Fire Release that is famous for us Uchiha, not Uchiha who is famous for Fire Release. "
His Sharingan glanced at these Kumo ninjas one by one, hiding the vigilance in his heart with his contemptuous gaze.
"There are only a dozen rotten fish and shrimps. You are too naive to think that you can stop us by laying traps."
"A dozen or so is a little less."
Mosui touched his bumpy bald head. , the muscles on his face were horribly twisted into a ball due to the smile.
"I remember when you Konoha used animals to describe the ninjas of the five major countries, you said this...
" Konoha is as vibrant as an elephant; the crazy and bloodthirsty Kiri Ninja is like a shark; the Sand Ninja is as vicious and sinister as a scorpion; The Iwa ninja bullies the smaller ones like a hyena; the Kumo ninja is domineering like a lion. "
When Uchiha Tiehuo heard this, he suddenly had a strong feeling of something bad.
"Although I don't really agree with this sentence. However, if you want to hunt elephants, how can you do it without bringing along some hyenas and lions? "
Mosui flicked his hand and threw the young tribesman into the threshold of the shrine behind him like trash. Then he asked loudly: "Everyone in Iwa Ninja Village, do you think what I said is right? "
[What?]
[And Iwa Ninja?]
Surprised expressions bloomed on the faces of each Uchiha.
As Mosui's voice spread, fifteen figures rose from the ground on both sides of the shrine stairs. Wearing the Iwa Ninja uniform, but not wearing a forehead protector.
Different from the unruly eyes of the strong Kumo Ninjas, each of these Iwa Ninjas rising from the earth had eyes that were slowly burning like substance. The fire of revenge.
There were also fifteen Kumo ninjas who jumped out from the forest in the distance and blocked the end of the stairs.
There were sixty people in total, so they surrounded thirty-eight Uchiha from all sides. On the stairs in front of a shrine.
[Why did Iwa Ninja come here? What do the barrier classes in Konoha do? And they said they have been colluding together for a long time?]
Uchiha Tiehuo's brain was spinning crazily and he waved his hand. He signaled the clansmen to divide into four sides to face the enemy, and generally asked the strong man on the top of the porch: "So, these people are here for revenge?
"They are indeed here for revenge. " "
The strong man clenched his fists and made a sardonic smile: "It's just that these bumpkins are afraid that they can't do it, so they invite us to take a share of the pie. As long as your clan is wiped out, it's hard to say whether Konoha will still be the leader of the five great ninja villages. "
" Yun Ninja, stop talking nonsense there! Deal with them quickly! "
A ninja on the Iwa ninja side interrupted him, and then glared at the Uchiha opposite and shouted loudly: "What Uchiha Shisui did to us, I want you to repay a thousand times! After today, your cancer-like bloodline will be completely cut off from this world! "
After the words fell, he didn't say any more nonsense. Many rock ninjas quickly formed seals with their hands and clapped their hands on the ground: "Earth Release: Rock Suceng! "
The ground began to shake. The bluestone slabs that had been trampled by the Uchihas for decades seemed to have lost their support and collapsed and fractured one after another.
Under the stairs, a dark pit actually appeared.
And at such a close distance, there were so many rocks. The ninjutsu unleashed by Shinobu was too strong, and several Uchiha who were inexperienced in combat fell down on the spot. The rest were looking for opportunities to gain a foothold and counterattack among the falling steps. However, the Kumo ninjas had been waiting for a
long time . I have watched this moment.
The bird struggling in the air with no way to hide is undoubtedly the best target.
"This is a technique I learned from your Konoha torture!" In order not to hurt your eyes, use something larger. "
As he said that, the leader of the Cloud Ninja used another Cloud Ninja at the end of the stairs to throw a super large shuriken at the Uchiha people at the same time, and then formed seals simultaneously.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! "
The number of two eighty-centimetre-wide shurikens suddenly increased nearly a hundred times, and they attacked the Uchihas from both sides like a pterosaur preying on prey.
"Wind Release·Net. "
Uchiha Iron Fire completed the seal in mid-air, and the cyan air flow formed a huge spider web, rotating towards the overwhelming shuriken curtain in front of him, cutting it into small pieces that were not threatening.
But on the other side The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, but no one in the tribe could take out their hands to resist, and their most skilled fire escape was completely ineffective.
Even with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, there was no way to stand in mid-air. If you don't have time to dodge, how can you resist such a dense concentration of shurikens?
Uchiha Tiehuo thought pessimistically, when he thought that at least seven or eight clan members would die from this -
"Four Types..."
An Uchiha The tribe's eyes were dazzled. The short figure appeared out of nowhere and stepped on the giant shuriken that was about to be cut in half. While changing its trajectory, it still stood firmly on it and waved the thin transparent blade in its hand.
" Hit the tide. "
The light blue water curtain appeared out of thin air, like a slap from the sea god, knocking all the shurikens back at a faster speed, accompanied by a suffocating terrifying wave. The
water waves swept the shurikens and rushed in The team of Kumo ninja who reached the end of the stairs suddenly turned scarlet.
No tomorrow
