Underground at Land of Grass, in the Orochimaru stronghold, the dim and flickering candlelight struggled to fight against the thick darkness surrounding it.
The beating flames distorted the shadows of the snake-shaped stone pillars in the cave on the uneven stone walls, adding a bit of eerieness to the already gloomy space.
Beside the stone table, Orochimaru was wearing a white robe, with thick purple hemp rope tied around his waist.
His eyes were cold and greedy, first he paused on Shisui, and then slowly moved to Shisui Uchiha next to Shisui.
Shisui's eyes were sharp, and he also looked warily at the dishonest Orochimaru in front of him.
"Orochimaru, Shisui are the most critical people in my plan. I advise you not to take his chances."
Uchiha Shisui exuded a cold aura, and instantly caught Orochimaru's greedy eyes, and warned.
"In this case, I will naturally not touch him."
Orochimaru slowly withdrew his gaze, a vague sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and changed his words,
"But since Mr. Shisui asked me to help you, you must tell me your plan. I don't want to be confused and get involved in an unknown dispute."
Shisui leaned on the cold stone chair, his posture was lazy but exuding an innate domineering air.
His expression was indifferent, and his voice was like a spring in a deep valley:
"The time is not ripe yet, and many aspects still need to be carefully prepared. When the time comes, I will tell you everything. And what you need to do now is to join Akatsuki."
"No, Mr. Shisui, I am not very attracted to Akatsuki at the moment."
Orochimaru crossed his arms to his chest, his tone full of resistance. But just halfway through speaking, Shisui suddenly lifted Teuchi off.
"I know you are obsessed with research and obsessed with exploring the ultimate secrets of ninjutsu and immortality. But what if Akatsuki has the legendary Sage's Eye?"
Shisui leaned forward slightly, his eyes locked tightly on Orochimaru, his eyes filled with confidence that he was determined to win.
Orochimaru After hearing the word "Sage's Eye", his pupils shrank instantly, and a trace of uncontrollable excitement flashed in his cold eyes.
Then, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a strange smile:
"I see, Mr. Shisui really gave me a big surprise. If Akatsuki really owns the legendary Sage's Eye, then Akatsuki must go."
Uchiha Shisui Seeing that his goal was achieved, he slowly stood up, walked to the door, tilted his head and reminded:
"However, I still advise you to collect all the information on Sage's Eye before taking action, otherwise you will die miserably."
Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, I will pay attention."
Orochimaru watched Uchiha Shisui's figure move further and further away in the darkness, until the footsteps completely disappeared.
There was a mysterious arc at the corner of his mouth, he turned around slowly, and skillfully pushed the stone wall behind him with his slender palm, triggering the hidden mechanism.
Accompanied by a dull "rumbling" sound, the thick stone door slowly slid to both sides, and a pungent chemical smell instantly hit his face.
What is displayed in front of Orochimaru is a large-scale laboratory.
There are various complex ninjutsu scrolls on the table, and bottles of potions of different shapes are placed on the special shelves, which emit a strange light under the light.
The green culture cabin is filled with experimental bodies of various shapes.
Orochimaru strolled among them, his eyes swept over these research results that condensed his hard work, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself:
"The legendary Sage's Eye, as long as you can get it, immortality may no longer be a secret..."
At the same time, in the underground passage of Kusagakure, Shisui Uchiha used both hands to slowly push away a heavy stone slab.
He cautiously stuck his head out and scanned the surroundings with keen eyes, not missing any slightest movement.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Shisui, who was as tall as a swallow, climbed up first.
Uchiha Shisui followed closely behind, his movements cool and neat.
The two of them walked out of the passage and entered a dark room, with dust flying freely in the light that filtered through the gaps.
Shisui stayed close to the wall and looked at the street outside through the gaps in the wooden boards. He saw several ninjas wearing Kusagakure Forehead Protector walking by. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Shisui, this should be Kusagakure."
Shisui nodded slightly and analyzed in a low voice:
"Orochimaru built the stronghold below, probably to facilitate human experiments."
"Then what should we do next?"
Shisui frowned slightly. After all, this is the hinterland of Kusagakure. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded by many people.
"Just leave."
Shisui's tone was calm.
In his heart, a little Kusagakure is not worth his attention at all.
The two of them opened the door and walked out openly.
The Kusagakure ninjas on the street were attacked one after another before they had time to react.
Shisui looked at the dozen Grass Ninja who fell to the ground in front of him, and was shocked in his heart.
He knew that Shisui's pupils were powerful, but he did not expect that just by relying on Sharingan's illusion, so many well-trained Kusagakure ninjas could instantly lose their combat effectiveness. Moreover, Shisui's expression was calm and did not seem to be consumed at all.
Just as the two were passing by a room, a painful scream came from inside.
"Brother Shisui, this..."
Shisui heard the noise and looked at Uchiha Shisui next to him, his desire to save others was written on his face.
"Shisui, as a ninja, you must not have compassion, because this will lead you to a situation that is beyond redemption."
Having said this, Shisui changed his voice.
"But I'm here this time. If you want to save him, you can save him. There won't be any big problem."
In the room, a woman with red hair held her daughter tightly in her arms, fear and despair flooding her like a tide.
Several Kusagakure ninjas surrounded her, showing greedy and ferocious faces.
The leader Grass Ninja grabbed the woman's arm and bit it hard.
The woman was shaking all over in pain, tears bursting from her eyes, but she could only bite her lips tightly, not daring to make any sound.
As Grass Ninja bites, a "sizzling" sound comes from the injured limb, and the wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Haha, okay!."
The leader Grass Ninja looked at his healed wound and laughed excitedly. Then his eyes showed endless desire and he shouted to the woman in front of him:
"Although your ability allows adults to agree to your stay at Kusagakure, if you want food, it depends on your performance!"
The Grass Ninjas next to them rubbed their hands with obscene smiles on their faces:
"Hehe, move quickly, don't let the adults find out. If something happens to this woman, we will all have to go around without food."
"What are you afraid of? If the big one dies, isn't there still a little one?"
A Grass Ninja said viciously, rushed over like a hungry wolf, and grabbed the little girl.
The little girl was so frightened that she cried and struggled desperately.
The other Grass Ninja couldn't wait to pounce on the woman. The woman closed her eyes in despair and her body trembled violently.
Just at this moment, Shisui rushed into the room like a ghost, and the blade cut off one of the Grass Ninjas in the blink of an eye.
Before the Grass Ninjas next to them could react, they were immobilized by Shisui's illusion. As soon as he raised the knife and dropped it, several streaks of blood shot out, almost dyeing the room red.
The woman looked frightened, but a look of relief flashed in her eyes. She quietly waited for the blade to fall.
"Uzumaki Clan?"
At this time, Shisui walked into the room, saw the red-haired mother and daughter, and asked slowly.
