Chapter 227

Many things have become complicated and are different from what they used to be.

"As expected, the village sent our Uchiha on this mission to intercept the Moryo... I volunteered to take Uncle Fugaku's place..."

So.

"Itachi, come with me."

Shisui Uchiha reached out his hand.

Hopefully, this will change the way the clan members view Itachi.

"Shisui..."

Itachi Uchiha looked at the young man before him, who was both his teacher and friend, and felt a complex mix of emotions.

"It's... alright now."

Itachi shook his head.

I and my people have already embarked on different paths.

"Actually, your clan has begun to suspect you..." Shisui Uchiha sighed.

"I know even if you don't tell me."

Itachi Uchiha turned around.

Besides the bewildered younger brother, there were other children, ordinary people from the clan.

The ninjas in the clan, led by their father, all plotted a rebellion.

"My clansmen ordered me to monitor you," Shisui Uchiha said, uttering the words that had been weighing on his mind.

"!"

Itachi's eyes slightly opened.

"Is it... Yashiro and the other two?"

The Uchiha Yashiro, his father's right-hand man, along with two other high-ranking members of the clan, sent Shisui to monitor him?!

"That's right, so..."

Shisui Uchiha was caught in the middle, which was also very uncomfortable.

"I understand your thoughts, but you should also try to understand the thoughts of your people..."

"..."

Itachi Uchiha remained silent.

He doesn't believe that people can understand each other.

A narrow-minded group...

"I'm prepared."

Itachi answered stubbornly.

If the clan is plotting a rebellion, then... I have no choice but to side with the village.

"Is that so...?"

Shisui Uchiha's expression turned somewhat lonely.

"But before that, I feel there's still a chance. Come with me..."

At the request of Shisui Uchiha.

Itachi reluctantly followed him away from the village...

In the underground of the roots, in a dimly lit room.

"Danzo, Shisui Uchiha and Itachi have left the village and gone to the Land of Demons."

Aburame Ryoma, the Aburame who personally witnessed Fugaku Uchiha instantly kill 63 Jonin a single day, appeared here at this moment.

"Alright, let's proceed accordingly."

Danzo up, fully prepared to depart.

Shisui Uchiha's mission provided just the right opportunity.

His Mangekyō Sharingan is too dangerous.

We must... take his eyes away!

This is also a good opportunity to test Itachi's loyalty.

Regardless, I am determined to get Shisui Uchiha's eyes!

Several days later...

Asuka and Pakura traverse the earth.

After crossing the Land of Earth and traversing towering mountain ranges, they finally arrived at the Land of Land of Demons of the Land of Snow.

The gale subsided.

The temperature is pleasant.

Everything... became peaceful.

Shedding its thick winter clothes, the Asuka surveyed the natural world before it.

Let's go.

Pakura, revealing her beautiful figure and a pair of dazzlingly long, fair legs, was the first to rush down the hillside...

156. Do you dare kill the daimyo?

Two more days passed.

Asuka and Pakura travel through towns and villages.

Along the way, these villages and towns suffered varying degrees of damage.

The terracotta warriors, their eyes glowing with a dim yellow light, advanced relentlessly in the direction commanded by the Moryo.

It seems they intend to sweep through the Five Great Nations.

Asuka and Pakura tried attacking them with different spells.

It was discovered that regardless of the method used...

The Terracotta Army will be brought back to life.

Even if you seal it with Sealing Jutsu.

The sealed terracotta warrior will immediately disintegrate, and a new terracotta warrior will then emerge from the soil.

A trial and error.

The two understood that they had to defeat the true form of the Moryo.

So the two of them rushed to the shrine of the priestess that very night.

Call...

A cold wind howled.

In the vast hall.

The teams are hostile to each other.

The priestess's plea for help drew ninjas from all over the ninja world to this place.

Faced with a calamity threatening the ninja world, they chose to send the elites from their own villages to assist the priestess in sealing the Moryo.

Amegakure's team consisted of two people: Pakura and Asuka.

On the Konoha side: Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi.

Iwagakure, Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Kitsuchi, son of Ōnoki.

Sunagakure, Baki, Maki, and several Jonin.

"The Kumogakure and Kirigakure Village teams cannot arrive in time due to the distance..."

The priestess Miroku sat in the main hall, wearing a golden crown and a white robe with gold trim, looking solemn and noble.

Beside her was a girl who looked about 5 or 6 years old; that was her daughter, Shion.

"This means that Kumogakure and Kirigakure are likely to stand by and do nothing." A sinister smile crept across Baki's burly face.

"Agree."

Han Five-Tails Jinchuriki who was completely encased in red Steam Armor, nodded.

"Hmph, then we'll have to rely on ourselves."

As the leader of Konoha.

"Shisui Uchiha a low voice."

But his gaze always drifted to the side, fixed on Asuka and Pakura with hatred.

Asuma did something similar.

One of their parents was killed by Amakawa Akito.

Another elder brother and sister-in-law died at the hands of Amakawa Akito.

At this moment, enemies meeting are filled with intense hatred.

Because of the principle of "hating the house because of the crow, "Shisui Uchiha wished he could kill all the Amegakure ninjas.

"Ms. Pakura..."

Maki looked at her master, whose appearance and demeanor remained unchanged and whose heroic bearing was still evident, and her eyes revealed deep worry.

Pakura didn't even glance at her, maintaining his aloof demeanor.

The Asuka also ignored the hostility emanating from their surroundings.

"Everyone, you must be tired from your journey. Go and rest first. After tonight... the Moryo should come to you on their own."

The priestess Miroku rose and assigned rooms to everyone.

Everyone left one after another.

Shisui Uchiha stood there, showing no intention of leaving.

"Everyone from Konoha...?" The shrine maiden glanced at the Konoha side, somewhat puzzled.

"My lady, we have a personal grudge against those guys from Amegakure. If things get out of hand, we hope you won't interfere..."

Shisui Uchiha spoke in a tone that was half-warning.

Itachi, standing to the side, remained silent; he had never seen Shisui so angry.

He had certainly heard about Shisui's father, and had even attended his funeral in person.

Shisui's father, Ryūka Uchiha, was reduced to a mass of blood.

His mother, too, was tortured to death by Amakawa Akito...

The hatred for one's parents is irreconcilable... right?

"Well, I also have some scores to settle with those guys from Amegakure."

Asuma smoked a cigarette, his face grim.

"Me too." Kurenai Yuhi said coldly.

Itachi remained silent.

"Everyone..."

The priestess Miroku was naturally aware of the friction between the various ninja villages.
