Chapter 408 Beloved

The heart of the Fire Nation.

On a messy battlefield, an emerald-green giant slowly put away the spiral sword in his hand.

From the fallen bodies lying around, as well as the deep ravines on the ground, the nearby flames that have not been extinguished, and the messy kunai shurikens, it can be seen that a big battle has just occurred here.

"Finally these enemies have been dealt with!"

Wiping the blood from the corners of his eyes, Shisui put away his pupil technique, and then turned his gaze to the edge of the battlefield, a dying Konoha ninja.

Judging from the wounds on the other party's body, it seemed that he could not hold on for much longer.

"Domen, cheer up!"

Taking out the Uchiha secret medicine he carried with him, Shisui injected a tube of injection into Maeda Takato's body through the other party's vein.

"Is this... mission accomplished?"

Relying on the energy-boosting effect of the Uchiha secret medicine, Maeda Takato, who was already on his deathbed, looked at the corpses around him, and then locked his eyes on Shisui.

"Domen, do you have any last words?"

"No... I... am just an orphan, and I don't have many friends in the village~"

He had realized that he didn't have much time, but Maeda Takato didn't show any signs of hysteria or fear, and his expression was unusually calm.

"In that case, I have something to ask you!"

Frowning, Shisui looked at this new companion who was about to die, hesitating.

However, when his eyes glanced at another figure, who was also wearing a green vest, but had no living figure, and there were a large number of corpses around him, he strengthened his idea.

"Our mission this time should be top secret. Even the Hokage probably doesn't know our specific retreat route... Why did these Ninjas happen to run into us... And when they saw our forehead protectors, they didn't say anything. Just launched an attack?”

Before he carried out this mission, one of his teammates suffered backlash for practicing new ninjutsu. This was Maeda Takato, the new teammate who joined their team under such circumstances.

Because there were new team members joining, Shisui was cautious along the way, but he didn't notice that when the mission was completed and they were retreating, they encountered such a sudden attack.

The strength and cooperation of these wave ninjas exceeded their expectations, and one of them was even more brave and fearless, causing casualties to his team.

"..."

Hearing Shisui's question, Maeda Domon glanced at Shisui, and then said nothing, as if he had resigned himself to his fate and was silently waiting for death to come.

"Don't say yes!"

His face darkened, Shisui stopped being polite to him, forcibly opened his already sore Sharingan, and approached Maeda Takato's eyes.

Originally, Shisui couldn't do this kind of thing, but his other comrade who had died in battle had just become a father.

When the other party's wife and children were discharged from the hospital, he also attended the family gathering at the other party's house. This time when he followed him on a mission, an accident occurred... How did he face the orphan and widowed mother?

"Uh~"

Ignoring Maeda Takato's struggle, he forcefully opened the opponent's eyelids and projected his scarlet Sharingan into the opponent's eyes. Shisui prepared to control the opponent's thinking and let him tell him all the answers he wanted to know.

"I...I am..."

With the output of Shisui's eye power, Maeda Takato's expression began to become dull.

The mouth that had been closed tightly began to open and close, as if he wanted to speak.

"Is this...a curse seal?"

Seeing the other person's hesitant expression, Zhisui also noticed something strange about the other person.

Just when he was thinking about whether to use his pupil technique to cover the curse mark on the other person's body and let him speak.

"Well…"

Maeda Takato let out a long breath, then tilted his head and turned into a corpse.

"died!"

The corners of his eyes raised slightly could not help but jump. Shisui did not give up, but directly opened the other person's mouth and looked at Maeda Takato's tongue.

"It's indeed a root!"

Shisui did not immediately conclude that there was something wrong with the opponent because of this, but instead checked a few corpses among the enemies.

"It seems to be a ninja from Cloud Ninja Village!"

Fortunately, these people do not have the same curse seals as Maeda Takato, but... some marks on these people, as well as the ninjutsu used, indicate the identity of the opponent's Kumo ninja, and they should be elites.

"Am I really thinking too much!"

Nothing wrong was found on these corpses. Zhisui felt both lucky and a little confused.

Could it be that I have been having bad luck during this period?

In the past year, he has encountered three unexpected situations.

Once, a killer suddenly appeared next to the protected target; once, when stealing intelligence, our own intelligence was leaked; this time, after the mission was completed, we encountered a sudden attack by the 'Lang Ninja'...

The frequency of accidents is also too high.

…

"Hiruzen, Uchiha Shisui's strength exceeds our expectations!"

In the Hokage's office, as soon as Shisui left, Danzo Shimura visited again, and as soon as he sat down, he began to promote Shisui's threat.

"The ones who took action this time were the elites of the Cloud Ninjas. With the information we provided, these Cloud Ninjas still failed!"

The Sandaime Hokage just listened quietly and did not express any opinions.

Danzo was very disappointed. In the past year, he had only taken action two or three times. Each time, he was cautious and his plans were very thorough. Unfortunately, all of his careful plans failed.

This time, Shisui's information was revealed to those cloud ninjas, intending to use their power to solve this trouble.

I didn't expect that these guys who usually have their eyes high above their heads were so incompetent that they still failed despite having information.

Although the Sandaime had a default attitude, Danzo did not stop speaking, but revealed a piece of news that made the Sandaime's face change drastically.

"Uchiha Shisui may have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"What did you say?"

The Sandaime, who originally looked like an old god and watched Danzo's silent performance, finally changed his expression after hearing the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Danzo, can you confirm the accuracy of the information?"

Mangekyou Sharingan, he had heard about this kind of eye when he was a child, and later after he became Hokage, he read through the notes left by the second generation.

There were only a few descriptions in it, but from between the lines, he could feel his teacher's fear of this kind of power.

A Toshiro was already a headache for him, and now there was an Uchiha Shisui... God loved this family too much.
