Chapter 772

"Who told you I was dead?"

Hearing someone talk about his own death, Uchiha Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakura in surprise.

Sakura discreetly glanced at Obito Uchiha, who was half-crouched on the ground, then said cautiously, "They said you were killed by Madara Uchiha while fighting him after he was just brought back with Impure World Reincarnation."

"Me? Killed by Madara Uchiha right after he was brought back with Impure World Reincarnation?" Chen felt as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world. He could hardly believe his ears.

"That's right. And there were plenty of witnesses. I wasn't on the battlefield at the time, but I heard from a lot of people that you died horribly." Sakura was cautious, but she didn't try to hide anything. After all, many people had seen it happen.

After hearing that, how could Chen not know who was responsible? They simply couldn't sense his presence and assumed he was dead, so Obito, Kabuto, and the others had teamed up to stage this farce.

Besides, they couldn't
