Another Pair of Mangekyo

Silence...

From the entrance of the clan grounds all the way in, Yamei only saw a few corpses, almost all killed with a single blow.

"Itachi, you're really... cold-blooded."

Yamei shook his head, his gaze shifting to a certain direction where a few people were stealthily rummaging through the bodies.

"Root members?"

These people, as expected, were Root ninjas sent by Danzō to collect Sharingan.

A Sharingan couldn't just be plucked out and used. If the user hadn't awakened their Sharingan before death, then plucking it out after death would be useless.

That's why these Root members were searching, instead of grabbing any deceased Uchiha ninja and digging out their eyes.

His gaze turned to the deepest part, where the Uchiha high-ranking members resided. Traces of ninjutsu could occasionally be seen, indicating Itachi was still hunting.

Suddenly, Yamei stopped in front of a six-story building, on which was inscribed: Konoha Military Police Force Headquarters.

Under Yamei's watch, a masked man walked out of the Konoha Military Police Force building.

As soon as he reached the entrance, several shuriken instantly flew towards him.

The masked man slowly turned his gaze to the plaza at the entrance, and a mocking voice rang out, "Oh!? Not bad eyes."

Uchiha Izumi still held two kunai in her hands, and with the enhancement of the Uchiha Throwing Technique, she hurled them towards the masked man.

Swish swish!

Two sounds echoed, and the kunai actually passed straight through the masked man's body, embedding themselves in a pillar behind him.

"This... How is this possible!"

Izumi was greatly alarmed. With her Sharingan, she couldn't see through this masked man. Fear surged in her heart, and she turned to flee.

Whoosh

A chain instantly struck, binding her tightly.

"Help me... Itachi!"

The masked man slowly walked forward, the chain tightening.

"Help me..."

Bang...

"Truly... uninteresting." The masked man shook his head as he looked at Izumi, who had lost her breath.

"Indeed, I think so too."

The masked man suddenly turned, his eyes fixed on Yamei.

"Who are you!? When did you appear!?"

His sense of danger reached its peak at this moment! He didn't even know when the other party had appeared!

"Me!? Just someone passing by." Yamei smiled and stepped forward, extending his hand, "Shall we get acquainted?"

"You are very dangerous." The masked man merely glanced at Yamei's outstretched hand, showing no intention of shaking it. Instead, his body gradually began to distort.

"Leaving already? How boring." Yamei shook his head helplessly.

The masked man vanished without hesitation. He had a feeling that if he stayed there any longer, it would be extremely dangerous!

Looking at the spot where the masked man had disappeared, Yamei shook his head in frustration.

"If only you had stayed for one more second."

He had indeed fallen for his Mist Veil Moon, but because he possessed the Mangekyo, coupled with Hashirama's cells, it took some time for him to alter the Genjutsu illusion.

It was only a second away, but he hadn't expected this guy to be so vigilant and just run away.

"Izumi, you made me lose an opportunity to get treasure."

Yamei turned his head to look beside him. Uchiha Izumi was standing quietly next to him.

And the corpse on the ground, like a mirage, gradually dissipated into nothingness.

"I'm sorry..." Izumi's emotions were somewhat low.

"Never mind, let's go. Come with me to get your clansmen out." Yamei shook his head and walked ahead.

Izumi hesitated for a moment before quickly following, her gaze occasionally studying Yamei.

Just now, she had clearly felt her own death, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing unharmed beside Yamei.

And that masked man had been staring at a blank space, muttering to himself.

At this moment, how could she not understand that Yamei had saved her.

This made her heart filled with shock and curiosity, as well as disappointment and bitterness.

That aura of death had been so real... yet the person she had hoped for had not appeared.

And why did this young man, whom she had only met yesterday, possess such terrifying strength!? And he had saved her.

The moment she realized she wasn't dead and Yamei was right beside her, she felt an immense sense of safety, like a ray of light in the darkness.

Along the way, Izumi's expression grew increasingly fearful as she saw the numerous corpses, until they arrived at the Clan Head's courtyard.

Yamei didn't go inside. Instead, he brought Izumi to stand on the roof of a house opposite.

Soon, a blood-stained figure walked out from inside.

The instant Izumi saw the figure, her pupils constricted sharply. "It... it's Itachi. H-how is this possible... Did he do all of this!?"

A suffocating feeling overwhelmed her. That familiar face, at this moment, seemed like a devil, deeply imprinted in her heart, and a complex hatred surged within her.

"Hm!? You've awakened it?"

Yamei looked at Izumi beside him with interest. Her scarlet eyes had actually transformed into Mangekyo!

Yamei reached out and gently stroked Izumi's head. Yang Release Chakra continuously flowed in, calming her emotions.

Finally, Izumi calmed down. Her gaze towards Itachi... became indifferent... as if he were a stranger.

"What's the ability of your Mangekyo?" Yamei asked with some curiosity.

"There's only one, Spirit Source, which can heal all wounds."

"A good ability," Yamei said with some admiration. He hadn't expected to gain an ultimate healer, and one with strong combat power at that.

Even though it was just a healing ability, anyone who underestimated a Mangekyo... would suffer greatly in the end.

"Want to shake hands!?" Yamei extended one hand, touching his nose with the other.

Looking at the hand in front of her, Izumi immediately recalled everything from yesterday, and her pretty face blushed.

However, she didn't refuse. Instead, she took Yamei's hand.

[Material acquired: Spirit Source, Eye Power enhanced.]

[Mind Blank triggered...]

"..."

Yamei felt his arm go heavy. He saw Izumi, her face flushed, hugging his arm and leaning on him.

Yamei put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling, while also sighing... Izumi's drop rate was so high! But the side effects were also high.

"Th-thank you!" Izumi whispered, her small face nestled against Yamei's chest.

"Cough, cough, it's nothing..." Yamei coughed awkwardly. Suddenly, he saw a figure sprinting towards them.

"The protagonist has arrived."

Yamei watched Sasuke's panicked figure.

"This is... Sasuke..."

"Mhm." Yamei nodded. The two of them just watched everything unfold. In the end, Sasuke fainted, and Itachi's figure disappeared.

"Do you want to go see Itachi with me?"

"No need." Izumi shook her head indifferently.

"Alright."

Yamei knew Izumi was completely disappointed in Itachi. Perhaps soon, Itachi would completely disappear from her heart.

Yamei took out a scroll and handed it to Izumi. "Rest for a bit and help me bring these children here."

"These people..." Izumi looked at Yamei with surprise and anticipation.

"Mhm, none of them are dead."

"Thank you, Yamei!" Izumi hugged Yamei tightly, tears instantly flowing.

Patting Izumi's shoulder, Yamei's figure instantly disappeared.

He reappeared and looked at Itachi standing in front of him. "Not leaving immediately, what do you need from me?"

"Please... take care of Sasuke." Itachi said.

"We'll see."

"Thank you."
