Chapter 359: Gambling with one's life for the future of the village, reinforcements arrive

"Brother Shisui...are you really determined to go to the Hidden Sound Village? Once you start something like this, there's no turning back. You might...die!"

As the third person besides Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo who knew about Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō ability, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at his bold brother after learning that he was going to the Otogakure Village.

So at this moment Uchiha Itachi had to try again to persuade his brother to retreat.

Uchiha Ryuun was a legendary ninja, the second person to be deified in the ninja world after the first Hokage. Shisui wanted to use the Mangekyō Eye Technique to influence someone else's will. This kind of thing seemed outrageous no matter how you thought about it. At least in Itachi's opinion, the success rate was very low...

As the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Itachi grew up listening to the stories of Uchiha Ryuun. Although his father did not like Uchiha Ryuun, he always asked Itachi to pursue him as his goal.

Uchiha Fugaku even bluntly stated that Uchiha Ryuun is the current "strongest man in the ninja world" and is the true god of war who can conquer the entire ninja world single-handedly!

Uchiha Shisui wanted to target such an invincible and powerful person. You can imagine how dangerous it would be!

"I've made up my mind... I know this might not be easy to accomplish, and I might even be killed, but that Dragon God possesses the power to pacify troubled times. I must give it a try no matter what. If I succeed, this war will end..."

I must sacrifice myself in exchange for Konoha's chance of victory, even if the chance of success is low. This is why the Third Hokage and Danzo agreed to my plan."

Uchiha Shisui smiled and patted Itachi's shoulder. He looked very relaxed at the moment, but Itachi's face still looked extremely solemn.

"His honorific title is 'Illusionary Sun Dragon God'... The word 'illusion' comes first. His illusion techniques are said to be the best in the ninja world. The family has confirmed that his Mangekyō is an illusion eye. This kind of eye is naturally resistant to illusions..." Uchiha Itachi reminded with a serious face.

Uchiha Shisui was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally seemed to have thought of something, and he relaxed again:

"His eyes are indeed illusion eyes, but he only has one Mangekyō Sharingan after all. You should know that only when you have a pair of Sharingans can you unleash their greatest power..."

As soon as Uchiha Shisui said this, Uchiha Itachi immediately fell silent.

After a long while, Uchiha Itachi lowered his head and spoke softly, "But you should understand that his ability to suppress the ninja world is not just due to the Mangekyō Sharingan. To put it bluntly... you have a pair of Mangekyō..."

"Itachi...I know!"

Uchiha Shisui suddenly spoke up, interrupting Uchiha Itachi's words.

"I know everything you want to say, and I admit that I'm still far behind him... No one in the entire ninja world dares to say that they have the strength to compete with him. After all, he is recognized as the strongest in the ninja world..."

"But I've already said that as long as there's a chance of success, we must try, because Konoha is in a precarious situation right now. Even if I only have a one percent chance of success, I must do it, for the village, for peace..."

"Do you understand...my silly brother..."

It is precisely because Uchiha Ryuun is powerful enough that 'Kotoamatsukami' will not be wasted when used on him!

Looking at Uchiha Shisui's determined eyes, Uchiha Itachi knew that he could not stop him.

In fact, if Uchiha Itachi awakened the perverted eye technique of "Kotoamatsukami", he might have made the same decision as his brother Shisui.

Uchiha Liuyun is a 'shortcut' to peace. There are more than just the two of them in the village who have had illusions about him.

However, after so many years, Liuyun never made a move to help Konoha, which also caused the people of Konoha to gradually give up on him...

"Well... then you'd better be careful. If you find that your eye technique has no effect on him... remember to run away as soon as possible..." Uchiha Itachi reminded again worriedly.

"Okay... I know, I'm 'Instant Body Shisui', isn't it easy to escape from the Sound Village?" Uchiha Shisui rubbed his head and smiled.

This time he would enter the Sound Village as a rebel ninja, but he did not tell Uchiha Itachi about this.

If Kotoamatsukami's plan fails, Konoha will definitely cut ties with him immediately, and there will be no place for Uchiha Shisui in the entire ninja world!

If this plan succeeds, he may still have a chance to survive, but if it fails... he will definitely die!

Uchiha Shisui didn't want to tell others about these dangers, and even acted very confident in front of Itachi, so as not to make his younger brother worry too much.

That night, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi talked about many things until the sky was getting light. Then Uchiha Shisui took advantage of Itachi's sleep and went to the dangerous place alone.

Feeling his good brother's breath gradually fading away, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but shed two crystal tears from the corners of his eyes.

He had a premonition that tonight might be the last time they met, and that his good brother might never come back...

Only half a day had passed after Shisui left the Water and Fire Battlefield, and Konoha listed him as a deserter on the grounds that he had left his combat post without permission. All it took was a formal notice from the Fourth Hokage, and Uchiha Shisui could be called a traitor of Konoha!

When the Konoha camp in the Water and Fire Battlefield was distressed by the loss of the powerful fighter Shisui, two men in black with the strength of Kage entered the Konoha camp at this critical moment.

The two of them came from the Land of Rain. They had forehead protectors from the Hidden Rain Village but they did not wear them actively. They also covered their faces tightly, making it difficult to recognize their identities.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already received a message from Konoha, and knew that the Hidden Rain Village would send strong men to help Konoha, but he didn't expect that there would only be two people coming...

The people who came were Kakuzu and Scorpion.

The two henchmen of Liuyun started to act arrogantly as soon as they entered the Konoha camp. Their attitude was quite arrogant, and they didn't even take the commander-in-chief Sarutobi Hiruzen seriously...

Furthermore, the two also made it clear that they would only help Konoha fight the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and would ignore all other battles...

The chakra of these two people is very powerful. Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that their strength should be at the level of Kage.

Based on this, Konoha tolerated their rudeness and arrogance. After all, they were there to help them fight. If these two could deal with the troublesome Six-Tails Jinchūriki, that would be a great thing. Konoha didn't dare to expect too much. After all, they were powerful people who got away with it for free...
