I Will Kill Him...

"Itachi, what is this?"

Looking at Uchiha Itachi, whose expression was the complete opposite of his own, Yun Xi felt somewhat bewildered.

He truly had not expected to be targeted by various factions so quickly.

According to conventional logic, Uchiha Itachi should have been just like him.

Being cautious was the only normal reaction.

But...

Judging by Uchiha Itachi's current expression, he did not seem to care about this matter at all...

In an instant, Yun Xi felt inexplicably confused.

"Itachi, what should we do now?"

Since he could not figure it out, Yun Xi simply stopped thinking and asked Uchiha Itachi directly about the doubts in his heart.

Because Yun Xi understood.

Beyond his immense strength, Uchiha Itachi was also a guy with an extremely high IQ.

"Just let things take their natural course."

While Uchiha Itachi looked at Yun Xi with both eyes, he also kept glancing at the scenery outside the window, the smile on his lips never fading.

"Let things take their natural course?"

Hearing this, Yun Xi was even more confused...

It could be said that his current situation was absolutely dangerous!

The Root organization, backed by Danzo, coming to monitor him meant that Danzo had been watching him all along.

And the members of the Hyuga Clan coming here were naturally trying to extract the secret of the Byakugan's evolution from his mouth.

As for the Anbu ninjas...

Yun Xi was a bit stumped...

After all, from his previous contact with the Third Hokage, that old guy didn't seem to have any hostility toward him...

"At first, I was also a bit worried when I saw this scene."

Seeing Yun Xi, who was full of inner conflict, Uchiha Itachi spoke up directly.

He then pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, placed it in front of Yun Xi, and said, "The value of a single kunai is actually very low, but do you know why everyone carries such a tool in their ninja pouch?"

What kind of question is this...

Yun Xi thought to himself, but after a moment of consideration, he answered instinctively, "Because it's useful?"

"No." Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

He then snapped the kunai in half before speaking slowly, "Because this thing..."

"Everyone needs one..."

"It's just that the purpose differs."

Having said that, Uchiha Itachi looked at Yun Xi with a smile.

Is the kunai me?

Although Yun Xi had been a simple shut-in in his past life, he was not stupid.

With Uchiha Itachi's hint being so obvious, Yun Xi understood the implication behind his words.

The kunai in Uchiha Itachi's words was him.

And the three factions outside Yun Xi's house were the so-called ninjas.

Although Yun Xi was seen as nothing more than a dead last in the eyes of ordinary people.

But...

Almost everyone wanted to possess Yun Xi.

Damn it, when did I become such a hot commodity...

Yun Xi could understand the actions of the Hyuga Clan.

After all, he held the secret to the evolution of the Byakugan, but the intentions of Danzo and the Third Hokage.

Yun Xi could not fathom them.

Perhaps noticing the reason for Yun Xi's struggle, Uchiha Itachi did not hesitate and spoke directly, "The Third Hokage should have no hostility toward you. Before I entered your house, I could clearly feel that the Anbu ninjas were not taking hostile measures, but rather seemed to be protecting you."

"As for what that old fox Danzo is thinking, I don't know..."

After all, Uchiha Itachi was a product of the Anbu and was still serving within it; he knew the operational habits of the Anbu like the back of his hand.

"That guy Danzo..."

After hearing Uchiha Itachi's analysis, a flash of killing intent crossed Yun Xi's eyes.

In fact, in Yun Xi's estimation, the reason the Third Hokage had dispatched the Anbu, aside from surveillance, was more likely to protect him.

After all, based on Yun Xi's understanding of the Third Hokage, as long as he did not commit any acts detrimental to Konoha, that old man would never take the initiative to strike against him.

As for the Hyuga Clan and the forces of Danzo... A flicker of killing intent instantly surfaced in Yun Xi's eyes.

"Yun Xi, now is not the time to act." Sensing the killing intent in Yun Xi's eyes, Uchiha Itachi spoke up immediately. He then scanned the surrounding environment, and after confirming it was safe, he continued, "It is not suitable for us to make a move right now. I have a premonition that after we return to the village this time, that fellow Danzo will definitely take action..."

Sigh, it's not just that he will take action; he will definitely force you to act... Hearing Uchiha Itachi's speculation, Yun Xi thought to himself, though he did not voice his inner thoughts to Uchiha Itachi. After all, during such a tense period, Yun Xi did not want to place too much pressure on Uchiha Itachi.

He had already boarded this ship, so naturally, Yun Xi intended to change this plot! And the best way to change it... was to disrupt Danzo's arrangements!

"The Hyuga Clan..." A thought suddenly flashed through Yun Xi's mind. He then turned directly to Uchiha Itachi and said, "Come here, I need to tell you something..."

"The risk of doing this is too great. Is it really feasible?" As Yun Xi explained his plan to Uchiha Itachi, the composure that had been on Uchiha Itachi's face was instantly replaced by a hint of suppression and hesitation. The reason for Uchiha Itachi's reaction was very simple: Yun Xi's plan was simply too reckless.

Ever since Yun Xi had clashed with Hyuga Hiashi, the Hyuga Clan had focused their attention on him. They had even gone to great lengths to dispatch their own ninjas to keep an eye on Yun Xi—something the Hyuga Clan had never done in the past decade. It was clear just how important the secret of the Byakugan's evolution that Yun Xi possessed was to them. Therefore, Yun Xi intended to use this so-called secret to make the Hyuga Clan stand on his side!

"You already parted on bad terms before. Will they agree to this?" After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Itachi voiced the doubt in his heart.

"Itachi, if someone told you there was a method to guarantee the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, what would you do?" Yun Xi suddenly asked Uchiha Itachi.

"That?" Hearing this question, Uchiha Itachi smiled, then suddenly replied, "Then I would kill him. The secrets of the Uchiha Clan cannot be known by others..."

Yun Xi: "..."

Upon hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, Yun Xi fell silent. He was helpless... He truly had not expected Uchiha Itachi to give such an answer. It was a response Yun Xi had never imagined in a million years. In an instant, a sense of inexplicable helplessness welled up in Yun Xi's heart.

Managing to suppress the emotions in his heart, Yun Xi said directly, "You might do that, but the Hyuga Clan will not..."
