As soon as Shisui finished speaking, a flash of fear flashed through the red-haired woman's dim eyes. She shook her head like a rattle and said with a cry in her voice, "No, no... I'm not, please stop asking."
She knew that once her identity was exposed, not only would her life be in danger, but it would also bring disaster to the two saviors. After all, Uzumaki Clan, to which she belonged, was now a target in the eyes of all forces.
Shisui Looking at the woman's frightened look, the goodwill in his heart was like a burst of water that could no longer be suppressed.
He hurriedly took out a few Military Ration Pill from his ninja bag and carefully handed them to the woman and the little girl. Then he slowly squatted down, with a warm smile on his face, and softly comforted the shivering little girl:
"Don't be afraid, no one will bully you again."
The little girl was sobbing, holding tightly to the corner of her mother's clothes with her little hands, and looking at Shisui with timid eyes.
Shisui stood aside, taking in this scene in full view, thinking secretly in his mind.
If Shisui wants to successfully open his eyes, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Uzumaki mother and daughter.
Shisui has a kind heart and is full of love for everything in the world. This pure emotion also leads to him inevitably turning on Mangekyō Sharingan because of the things he cares about.
After a while, Shisui felt that the time was almost up, so he patted Shisui on the shoulder and said:
"It's almost time to go, Shisui. I will use Shadow Clone to escort this mother and daughter to Orochimaru. They will be properly protected at Orochimaru's stronghold."
Shisui gently touched the little girl's head, stood up, looked at Uchiha Shisui firmly, and responded:
"I understand, brother Shisui, let's go."
Then, Uchiha Shisui quickly Hand Seals with both hands, creating a Shadow Clone.
He looked at Shadow Clone and solemnly warned, "They are entrusted to you. They must be safely handed over to Orochimaru."
"Don't worry, I will live up to your trust."
Shadow Clone waved to Shisui who was gradually walking away, then turned around and said gently to Uzumaki mother and daughter:
"You two, follow me."
After that, Shadow Clone walked into the previous passage first. Uzumaki mother and daughter looked at each other. After hesitating for a moment, they hugged each other tightly and followed.
In the passage, the dim candlelight flickered, and the figures of the three people gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after entering the cave, Orochimaru's voice came from the depths of darkness. "Shisui, why did you come back suddenly?"
Uzumaki When mother and daughter heard this voice, their bodies froze instantly, as if they were imprisoned by an invisible force.
The mother subconsciously protected her daughter behind her, and the two of them trembled like frightened birds.
They could clearly feel that there was a chilling murderous intent behind this voice.
"That's it, Orochimaru, take back your murderous intent."
Shisui's tone was calm and his voice was not loud, echoing in the dark cave.
In an instant, the murderous aura that filled the cave quickly receded like a tide.
Orochimaru slowly walked out of the shadows. He was wearing a white robe. His snake-shaped pupils were glowing in the darkness. His gaze was like a knife, falling on the red hair of Uzumaki mother and daughter. The corner of his mouth raised a strange arc:
"Shadow Clone? So, is it because of the people who sent these two Uzumaki Clan? I didn't expect to meet the orphan of the Uzumaki Clan here."
"That's not entirely true. I have a plan and I need you to cooperate with me."
Shisui said with deep eyes and unhurriedly.
Shisui calmly lowered his voice and told the plan in detail.
After Orochimaru finished listening, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shadow Clone from Uchiha Shisui, and said with a smile, "I understand, Mr. Shisui, I will definitely handle this matter."
Shadow Clone Seeing that the task has been handed over, he holds the Hand Seals seal in his hand and releases Shadow Clone.
Seeing Uchiha Shisui leave, Orochimaru's eyes fell on Uzumaki mother and daughter, and his mind began to plan the upcoming plan.
The silvery white moonlight passes through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the forest floor.
The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, intertwined with the chirping of insects, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet forest.
Uchiha Shisui and Shisui Uchiha, like two agile black shadows, move quietly through the forest under the moonlight.
Suddenly, a flood of memories poured into Shisui's mind.
This was the message sent back by Shadow Clone, which he had previously separated. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of an imperceptible sneer.
He looked at Shisui, who was walking in front, standing tall and alert at all times, and silently muttered in his heart:
Sorry, Shisui, if you want to gain great power, you must pay a price.
"Brother Shisui! We are almost at the Land of Fire border."
Shisui saw the national border sign from a distance, turned around and said to Shisui behind him.
Shisui nodded and looked up. The grassland at the border gradually disappeared and was replaced by a vast plain forest.
This forest is lush with vegetation, and the tall trees block out the sky and the sun, like a natural barrier.
Once they entered the territory of Land of Fire and lost the cover of the grass, they could only rely on jumping between branches to move forward. Otherwise, walking on the road would easily trigger traps or an enemy ambush.
"Brother Shisui! The visibility in the forest is too low. Do you want to stay in place to repair it all night and wait for dawn before rushing on?"
Shisui stopped, frowned slightly, and made suggestions with concern.
Hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Shisui shook his head without hesitation. He believed that Orochimaru was already in front, and Shisui must not be allowed to stop here.
Shisui pretended to be calm, patted Shisui on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, let's speed up and pass through this forest as soon as possible."
After a while, Shisui suddenly stopped. The surrounding forest was very quiet, without even a sound of insects, which made him very alert.
"Wind Release·Great Breakthrough!"
Boom! The bushes suddenly dispersed and a hurricane appeared instantly.
"When!"
Shisui looked at his feet in shock. Before he could react, the hurricane instantly lifted him away and hit him hard on the tree trunk.
Shisui coughed a few times and regained his composure. As he looked, he saw a figure in the bushes. With a movement of his body, Body Flicker Technique transformed him into four figures. They were virtual and real, making it difficult to tell who was the real person.
The blade easily took the life of the figure. At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared next to him.
Shisui Although he sensed something was wrong, the visibility was too low, so he hesitated and swung the knife over.
After a while, Uchiha Shisui arrived belatedly, handed the torch to Shisui Uchiha and said:
"Is it an enemy?"
Shisui Uchiha took the torch and took off the cloaks of the two figures.
Kakkō beat in the darkness, illuminating his eyes, after a brief silence.
"Hiha! Siha!"
Shisui took two deep breaths and stared closely at the two red-haired corpses in front of him. His blood-stained hands were shaking, and he could hardly lift the short knife in his hand.
"Why? Why are you here?"
Shisui His voice was trembling. After saying that, he knelt down and recalled that he had saved them the day before. The tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, and big teardrops fell on the snow-white blade.
With the help of weak Kakkō, Shisui stood quietly behind Shisui and saw Shisui's Three-Tomoe reflected on the blade. Sharingan slowly rotated and then gradually merged to form a pair of Mangekyo.
