Chapter 99: Big Trouble at the Root!

Muye Village

In the private room of the barbecue restaurant, Uchiha Shisui looked at the table full of meat. He was originally worried, but suddenly he burst into laughter and asked:

"Are you sure you can finish it all?"

Bai Eucalyptus drooled and said:

"Brother Shisui, you can doubt my fighting ability, but you can't doubt my stomach."

He looked at Uchiha Shisui and smiled:

"Brother Shisui, just say whatever you want to say. No one outside can hear you."

Uchiha Shisui looked around.

"Is it an isolation jutsu?"

Bai An nodded, Uchiha Shisui felt relieved, exhaled, and said:

"Huh~ It's exactly the same as what I saw. When Itachi first showed it to me through the illusion, I was a little skeptical. I didn't expect Danzo to... Wait... If Itachi showed it to me, then he should have appeared. How could the one who appeared in the end be..."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Bai Eucalyptus and suddenly realized

"Ean, the Itachi that day should be you who turned into it, right?"

Bai An smiled knowingly and said nothing, but kept stuffing meat into his mouth.

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but laugh:

"really......"

Then he asked:

"An, what should we do now? Danzo finally used Izanagi to escape." When Uchiha Shisui said this, his fists clenched so hard that they creaked.

Bai An swallowed the meat in his mouth, drank a sip of juice, looked at Uchiha Shisui and said:

"Brother Shisui hasn't used Kotoamatsukami before, right?"

Shisui shook his head and replied:

"It's useless. Before this, I still had a little fantasy, but now..."

Bai An thought:

"As expected, people can never teach others, but things can teach people once they are taught."

Then he smiled and said:

"If the battle just now ended with Danzo's death, we could have changed our strategy, but now we have no choice. After this battle, Danzo has exposed his intentions. I think Brother Shisui should also understand what Danzo wants to gain."

Shisui took a sip of water to calm himself down, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Goji Izanagi... He wants the Sharingan..."

Bai An continued:

"Yes, so what do you think he will do next?"

Shisui looked at Bai An and said word by word:

"Kill, people, and silence, mouths."

Bai An nodded and continued:

"That's right, it's to silence people, but silencing people is only one of the reasons. Brother Shisui, don't forget Danzo's other identity. He is not only the leader of the Root, he is also a member of the top leaders. I have explained to you and Itachi before using the example of the Land of Whirlpools that it is not just one person but a group of people who want to get rid of you. So do you think Danzo will exaggerate this and make these people want to accelerate the extermination of the Uchiha."

Shisui nodded slowly. Although the words hurt his heart, they were the indisputable fact. When Shisui looked up at Bai An and was about to ask, Bai An continued:

"Then now is the best time to use Kotoamatsukami. Due to my appearance and the display of Wood Release, Danzo's attention will definitely be on me first. This way, time can be delayed and more things can be done."

Bai An thought in his heart:

"I'll act like a demon again, hehe, to give that old B a headache..."

After a moment, Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath, then let out a long breath. His eyes became extremely determined, and then he looked at Bai An and asked:

"Ean, where should we evacuate our people and finally go?"

The hand holding the meat paused.

"Damn, there is always a loophole. No, this is a serious matter. Brother Shisui, wait for my news."

After saying that, Bai An stuffed the meat into his mouth and threw the scroll with the plan to Uchiha Shisui. Uchiha Shisui took the scroll, and Bai An moved his feet and disappeared.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui did not stay any longer. He disappeared in a flash.

The clerk scratched his head in thought.

......

Root

Danzo Shimura looked at his broken Sharingan arm and became furious. He started smashing things, but after a while he calmed down and closed his eyes to think.

"Now that my intentions are known to the two of them, more people will definitely know about it. It's okay for Sarutobi as he just brought it to the surface, but if it's someone from the Uchiha clan, humph, that's exactly what I want. With the character of the Uchiha clan, they will probably be unable to hold back and start a riot. By then, I won't need to do anything. Sarutobi will solve it, and then I'll reap the benefits. Obviously, the latter is more beneficial to me, but if they don't know about this, then I will use other ways to increase this contradiction. Humph, Uchiha, destruction is your only destination..."

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his arm with murderous eyes.

"Before that, there is a problem that needs to be solved. Is the mysterious man of Wood Release the experimental subject that was missed? We counted it that year and it seems that there is no omission... Could it be a new experiment by Orochimaru? It seems that we need to ask what is going on..."

Without thinking any further, Shimura Danzo re-bandaged his arm, walked out of his room and said:

"Watari Ryûon!"

Whoosh!

A figure appeared in front of him.

“Go, check if there are any suspicious people in the village, and carry out the mission in secret without letting any third person know.

Before Watari Ryune could respond, a voice suddenly came from above their heads.

"But a third person already knows about it."

A man wearing a white mask, a black robe, and holding a March sickle in his hand was looking at the two of them jokingly.

Watari Ryune quickly protected Shimura Danzo and shouted:

"who!?"

At the same time, Shimura Danzo hurriedly shouted:

"Somebody come!"

Swish! Swish! —

Seven or eight Root members wearing masks, carrying daggers, wearing gray-white sleeveless combat vests and black combat pants appeared in front of Shimura Danzo, staring at the people above, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Shimura Danzo's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Now that you're here, don't leave. Go!"

Seven or eight fundamental members turned into afterimages, each displaying their magical powers. A member wearing a cat-face mask and a long purple head took the brunt of the attack, drawing out his dagger and quickly summoning two clones at the same time.

"Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Dance of the Three Suns and Moons!"

In an instant, the masked man was stabbed six times with three knives, but in the next moment, the masked man turned into several wisps of wind, and the member was instantly blown unable to open her eyes. The March sickle went straight towards her, and suddenly a loud shout rang out.

"Wooden Release. Wooden Spindle Wall!"

Bang! ~

A row of wooden posts bent from the ground to form a buttress to bounce the sickle away.

The masked man pulled back the sickle and looked around. He was now surrounded by three ninjutsu.

"Earth escape: Earth flow spear!"

"Heart Turning Technique!"

"Bad phosphorus bug!"

Just as the masked man was dodging towards the gap, a member who was not very tall and wearing a cat-face mask with green patterns on his face appeared in front of the masked man and blocked his way. The member quickly made two seals, Xu-Si.

"Wood Release: The Technique of Silent Killing and Binding!"

A thick branch shot out from his body and bound the masked man.

The masked man snorted coldly:

"I thought you were the only one who knew Kekkei Genkai."

Then he stomped his foot, and the Qimen disk appeared, spinning rapidly. The next moment, the masked man shouted:

"Lava Release. Scorch River Rock Technique!"

Then he opened his mouth and spewed out dozens of magma balls. Everyone hurriedly dodged and blocked them, otherwise the roots would be completely destroyed by these magma balls. Danzo Shimura, who was hiding in the dark, became even more creepy.

"Laojutsu? Wood Style? Two bloodline limits, who is he?"

Before he could think about it, a ball of magma flew towards him. He snorted coldly and quickly formed a seal.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

A large amount of breath exhaled from his mouth, which instantly formed three vacuum wind waves like long whips, cutting towards the magma ball, and the magma ball broke into pieces in an instant.

Two loud shouts rang out

"Earth escape. Earth flow wall!"

boom! Boom!

Two huge earth walls appeared, one of which had four dog heads hanging on it.

At the same time, a member wearing a cat-face mask, with a red inverted triangle pattern on his forehead, a long knife hanging around his waist and a short knife on his back, suddenly appeared in front of the masked man.

"Two sword styles. Sword leaping in flames. Double swallow return!"

The masked man took two steps back, his eyes turned playful, and he suddenly laughed wildly:

"Is this the strength of the Root of Konoha? Hahahaha, see you guys someday. When we meet again, it will be the time to witness your pain. Goodbye, hahahaha..."

The sound suddenly stopped, four flashes of fire flashed, and then there was the sound of a knife cutting through a body.

Clang! Clang! —

The masked man was instantly shattered, and his broken limbs were wrapped in flames. However, the next moment

Ziliu~

The shattered body turned into a few wisps of wind, and the flames were blown by the wind and burned fiercely. It rushed towards the member, and he said lightly:

"Wind clone? That's really rare."

Then he dodged it in an instant.

Danzo Shimura, who was dealing with the magma ball, frowned.

"How could Kexiu be so arrogant? Is he just a clone? Who is this person?"

But he had no time to think about anything at this moment. If he thought too much, his roots would definitely be destroyed by the lava balls. He used ninjutsu to block the lava balls flying everywhere.

......

In the woods

The white eucalyptus flew back and forth quickly, and suddenly stopped on a tree, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Kakashi, this guy, he's really good at using a dog head even though he doesn't have enough blue... The purple-haired one should be Mao Yan Xiyue, what a pity, he was widowed at an early age... Wood Release, this is Yamato..."

After reading the memory of the clone, Bai An continued on his way with a big question mark in his mind.

"Where can we find a place that can accommodate the Uchiha clan?"

After a moment, a place flashed through Bai Eucalyptus's mind.

"Whirlpool Country...how about...let's go to the Whirlpool Country Ruins? To be honest, that place is quite hard to find, and there aren't many people there. It's enough space for the Uchiha clan to survive, and it's still a secret operation. Plus, the extermination of the clan later won't be a big problem...decided, that's it! Let's go check out the situation first."

After saying that, Bai Eucalyptus rushed towards the direction of the Whirlpool Country.

......

Outside Konoha Village

On the edge of a cliff, Uchiha Shisui sat with his feet dangling in the air, lying on his back, gazing at the starry sky with a deep look in his eyes.

Suddenly a voice came from behind him

"Brother Shisui."

Uchiha Shisui slowly stood up and said:

"Itachi, you're here."

Uchiha Itachi stared at Uchiha Shisui's back, his pupils trembling a little, and asked tentatively:

"Well, Shisui... Brother Shisui you..."

Uchiha Shisui suddenly turned around and said with a smile:

"Now, what are you worried about?"

Uchiha Itachi finally let out the breath he had been holding, and said helplessly:

"Brother Shisui, when did you become as boring as that guy Bai Ergou?"

Uchiha Shisui came to Uchiha Itachi and said:

"The plan will begin tomorrow."

Although Uchiha Itachi knew this would happen, he still felt a little nervous when the time came. He thought:

"Is it finally starting?"

Then he looked at Uchiha Shisui and nodded heavily:

"Yeah, I got it."

Uchiha Shisui patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder and said:

"Be careful Danzo, he might attack your Sharingan, just like what happened to me today."

Uchiha Itachi said coldly:

"It is just as it appears..."

Uchiha Shisui nodded and said:

"Danzo used Izanagi five times in total. Itachi, do you know what this means?"

Uchiha Itachi was startled when he heard this.

"Izanagi? So the scene where I saw Shisui being attacked was because Danzo used Izanagi? If so, then... that means Danzo used five Sharingan, and these five means he dug out the eyes of five tribesmen. Damn it!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi's eyes instantly turned red. The three magatama kept spinning, and when the magatama were ready to be connected together, Uchiha Shisui patted his shoulder and said:

"Itachi, calm down."

Uchiha Itachi let out a long breath, and the magatama stopped spinning. Seeing that he had calmed down, Uchiha Shisui handed the scroll left by Bai Eucalyptus to Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi opened it and began to read it. Uchiha Shisui briefly explained the contents of the plan in the scroll.

"Itachi needs your help next. You need your uncle to organize a meeting. Then I will hide in it and activate Kotoamatsukami. After the spell is successfully cast, wait for news from Euan, and then quietly transfer out of Konoha. Then wait for subsequent developments. Is Itachi ready?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded very firmly and said:

"Brother Shisui, I have already made the decision. Don't worry, I will take care of father's side."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and disappeared in a flash.

Uchiha Itachi turned and walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the bottomless cliff, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, spread his arms, and jumped down.

The wind whistled past his ears, and the rapid speed of falling made him feel suffocated. After a moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly opened his eyes, took out two kunai, turned around and stabbed towards the cliff. The kunai made a "swish! swish" sound when it stabbed into the cliff. The speed of descent gradually slowed down until Uchiha Itachi landed steadily at the bottom of the cliff.

Uchiha Itachi exhaled and looked upwards.

“Everything will work out.”

a bird flies over

bass!

The bird howled miserably, with black flames burning on its body.
