Chance Encounter with a Core Disciple!

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Roy nodded.

It was much like what Shisui had described; these fellows were hidden very deep.

The people at the contact point actually knew absolutely nothing about their superiors.

Such liaisons, who could hardly even be considered ninja, were completely unable to resist Itachi's Tsukuyomi.

Therefore, the information could be trusted.

"Brother Roy, what shall we do next..."

Itachi was somewhat puzzled.

Although he did not know why Roy possessed information regarding the Satori Organization, nor did he know Roy's purpose for investigating them, since they had already set out, he was naturally curious about Roy's objective.

"Let's continue to the next village."

"Benteng Village."

Roy took out a map and pointed to a village.

"Benteng Village?"

"I have performed missions in this village before; there were no major issues."

Itachi looked at the village, feeling somewhat confused.

"This village is considered the wealthiest among the surrounding villages."

"However, up until now, there has never been a single request for assistance."

"Do you know why that is?"

Roy looked at Itachi with a serious expression.

Although Itachi was a genius, he was still too young.

His way of thinking had been fixed by his previous indoctrination, and his divergent thinking was insufficient.

This was also why, in the original story, Itachi was able to make so many changes in a short period after breaking free from Konoha's control.

"Because this village possesses a certain degree of strength!"

Itachi suddenly realized.

"But, why?"

Izumi opened her large eyes, looking at the two of them with curiosity.

She could understand the words they said separately, but when put together, it was a bit hard to grasp.

"Brother Roy means that this village has enough power to fend off wandering ninja, wandering samurai, and rogue ninja."

"That is why there have been no requests for aid from Konoha."

"For an ordinary village, this is very abnormal."

Itachi explained in detail.

At this moment, Uchiha Izumi's beautiful eyes sparkled; in her eyes, Itachi was always so outstanding.

"Ahem..."

"Let's go, we're setting off."

Although Roy intended to play matchmaker for the two, being a third wheel here was still somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as Roy stepped out of the small shop, his body paused slightly.

They're here?

Roy had originally thought this was just a simple contact point and shouldn't have much value.

Yet, unexpectedly, several chakra fluctuations were closing in from the surroundings.

At this point, at this time, there was only one explanation.

The people from the Satori Organization had arrived.

The corners of Roy's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and then he stepped out of the room.

Itachi remained inside the house to protect Izumi.

"Uchiha Roy, Konoha Chunin, member of the Military Police Force."

"Estimated strength is Jonin, possesses burst-type ninjutsu."

"Burst strength, Elite Jonin."

A man who looked ordinary walked out, calmly reciting Roy's intelligence.

This man looked just like the kind of farmer one could see in any small village in the ninja world.

He had a weathered face and the muscles and skin developed from frequent farm work...

It was hard to believe that such a person could actually be a member of the Satori Organization.

"Ding! Contact with a core member of the Satori Organization established. Progress increased by 30%."

"Random mission issued: Kill the Satori Organization member before you. Reward: 2000 units of fixed chakra, 1 clue regarding the Satori Organization."

As that familiar electronic, synthesized voice rang out, Roy had no choice but to believe it.

These guys were indeed members of the Satori Organization.

And core members at that...

"Hello. Nice to meet you. I am Zhao, captain of the Satori Organization's execution squad!"

"Although I don't know why you are targeting us, well... I don't need to know the reason anymore."

After finishing his sentence, Zhao drew a long blade directly.

"A blade user, are you?"

"Then, let's see how you fare against the swordsmanship of my Uchiha clan."

"Durin!"

Roy raised his hand and gripped the air.

A long blade appeared in his hand.

Immediately, the two of them lunged at each other in an instant.

"Shing!"

As they crossed paths, Zhao's left arm was severed instantly.

"How is this possible?"

Zhao was stunned. If not for the constant, searing pain, he would have thought he had fallen into an Uchiha genjutsu.

He had clearly dodged that last strike.

Why...

"Come out. If you don't step in to stop me, I will kill every single one of these people!"

Roy paid no mind to the Zhao before him, instead speaking in a low, solitary voice.

"Since you won't show yourself, then..."

"Boom!"

A burst of flame erupted beneath Roy's feet, and the next second, he appeared at Zhao's side.

"You..."

"Boom!"

Zhao couldn't even finish a complete sentence before he collapsed onto the ground.

A jonin of the Satori Organization had died just like that, under Roy's blade.

He didn't even know how he had been killed in the end.

The ninjas surrounding Roy all wore expressions of sheer terror.

"If the system notification hasn't sounded yet, it means I must kill all of you as well."

"Bad man, why did you kill Uncle Zhao?!"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on our fathers!"

"Big brother, please, won't you stop killing our dads?"

Just as Roy prepared to continue his assault, a group of children rushed out, placing themselves directly in front of him.

The men who appeared to be farmers also wore expressions of pain and inner conflict.

"Nami, why did you all come out?"

"Go back quickly! We are here; we won't let these ninjas hurt you!"

Several men shouted sternly.

Yet, these children remained standing in place with stubborn, obstinate expressions.

Even if they were to be beaten by their own fathers, they refused to leave.

Because being able to be beaten by their fathers meant they still had fathers.

"Brother Roy..."

At this moment, Itachi also walked out from the house.

Looking at the situation before him, a trace of reluctance appeared on his face.

Although Roy knew that if he let these ninjas go now, they would certainly feel no gratitude.

In the future, they would undoubtedly become enemies of Konoha.

But...

"Itachi, sometimes, the things you need to see go far beyond what is right in front of your eyes."

"Remember, a ninja is not a bloodthirsty maniac, nor are they a person without a heart."

"Our blood still carries warmth."

As Roy spoke, he sheathed his Durin.

Hearing Roy's words, Itachi's pupils constricted.

Does Big Brother Roy mean to let these people go?

But...

"Sss-sss-sss..."

Roy, who had just sheathed his long blade, transformed into a flash of lightning and charged directly into the crowd.

Every single member of the Satori Organization was struck down and killed.

At the same time, the children who had been standing in the way also collapsed to the ground, one by one.

Were they... all killed?

To cut the weeds and eliminate the roots is standard, but that speech Big Brother Roy just gave makes this awkward...
