Not the enemy's sword, not Mingyu's blood.
"Are you alright?"
The man in black slowly fell, falling out of Kaede Uchiha's face.
The man in black fell beside Mingyu and made a muffled sound of "bang", which woke Mingyu up.
Mingyu touched the blood on his face, and was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for Uchiha Kaede arriving in time, he would be lying on the ground now.
"It's okay, thank you, Brother Kaede. He stood up and bowed to him ninety degrees to show his gratitude.
"No, it's my duty to protect you," Kaede helped him up, "Hurry up and wash your face." ā
Mingyu walked to the sink and hurriedly washed his face.
At this time, there was a loud "bang", the wall was broken, flames shot out, and the figure of Fu Yue appeared, and behind him, two men in black fell.
"Are you all right? Fugaku appeared in the toilet. "Come out with me. ā
When I went out, the whole tavern was in shambles. Scarlet Snow was treating Yashiro, and around them, there were four people in black who were lying down, and in addition, there were many ordinary people who had been affected, some of them were dead, some were injured, and they were wailing and moaning.
"Teacher Fuyue, do you know the origin of these killers?" Mingyu frowned.
Fugaku unmasked the man in black and shook his head.
Scarlet stood up and said, "It's okay." ā
"Let's get out of here. ā
The five of them got back on the road, left the town, and quickly ran towards the family stronghold, this time the eight generations who stayed behind had one more job, and he was also responsible for eliminating the traces of the five and creating false clues.
"Although I know the enemy's purpose more or less, you should first report on the beginning and end of your encounter with the enemy. Mingyu, you say it first. "Fugaku Road.
"Yes, teacher. At that time, I walked into the toilet with Brother Kaede and peed while talking to him, and I didn't know how the enemy silently turned into Brother Kaede. When I came out to wash my hands, I found that there was something strange about Brother Feng's shoulder movements in the mirror, fortunately, I had practiced the Falling Sakura Body Technique and dodged his attack in time, and then I ...... "Mingyu said about his encounter with the enemy.
"Kaede, what about you?"
"Lord Fuyue, I followed Mingyu into the toilet closely, there was no problem at the time, as soon as I went to the toilet, I found that the situation was wrong, the air around me was a little abnormal, and Mingyu was gone. I opened the Sharingan Eye and found myself trapped in a kind of mirror enchantment of the enemy, who copied an identical 'me', identical in appearance and ability. Kaede said in a deep voice, "The enemy has even copied the writing wheel eye and my habitual movements, just like looking in a mirror." I was dragged back, and then it was probably Mingyu who killed the enemy, and the enemy who was secretly manipulating hurried to kill him, and I followed closely behind and killed him. ā
Sure enough, their target was Mingyu. Fuyue said in a deep voice, "There are a total of eight enemies, two squads, six to besiege me, Yashiro and Scarlet Snow, one to drag Kaede with secret arts, and the last one to assassinate Mingyu." So when the person who assassinated Mingyu failed, the enemy who dragged Kaede hurried over, because Mingyu was their target. ā
Mingyu was silent, when he encountered the enemy who assassinated him, hearing his words, Mingyu had a faint premonition.
"What kind of person will attack Mingyu?enemy country, or ......" Kaede's words were not finished, but everyone understood what he meant, the enemy, it is also possible that it is from within Konoha .
"Judging from what happened to you, you have fallen for a mirror magic and have entered a different world from the beginning. Fu Yue said, "This mirror ninjutsu is the secret technique of a powerful ninja clan in the Fire Country decades ago. However, after the establishment of Konoha, this ninja clan died out on its own, and its descendants spread all over the country. As far as I know, there is a ninjutsu like this in the Land of Water. However, the land of water is thousands of miles away, and the borders are closed, so ninjas cannot enter and leave the country at will. Moreover, although Mingyu is known as a prodigy in Konoha, his reputation has not spread that far. ā
"You mean, then?"
"That's right, the enemy is most likely from within. Fugaku said in a deep voice, "Since the incident with Madara Uchiha, our Uchiha clan has been squeezed out by the Konoha high-level and alienated by civilian ninjas, and they are afraid that there will be a second Madara Uchiha in the Uchiha clan. Now that Mingyu has such talent, it will naturally make them afraid, so they want to strangle him in the cradle. ā
"Could it be the shadow of the third generation?"
"Three generations have always advocated peaceful dialogue, and it should not be someone he sent. ā
"Who could that be?"
"It's not clear now, maybe it's the high-level, maybe it's the major families uniting. Fu Yue said, "In any case, the enemy sent two squads, both of which are elite ninjas, and it seems that the determination is not small, I'm afraid I won't just be willing to give up." ā
Mingyu listened to the conversation between Fugaku and Kaede, which involved the darkness of cannibalism within the village, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart.
Speaking of darkness, he thinks of Danzo.
Danzo is known as the darkness of the ninja world, which is the real darkness, ruthless, calculating, and unscrupulous to achieve the goal. In the whole of Konoha, who has always had the intention of exterminating the Uchiha clan? Except for Danzang, he can't think of a second person.
He has murderous intentions towards the Uchiha clan and desires Uchiha's power, so it is very likely that in order to achieve the goal of suppressing the Uchiha, he will send his subordinates to assassinate him. He is still the direct head of the Konoha Shadow Department, and he has this ability.
Whether it is a person sent by Danzang or not, if he wants to make a difference in the future, he must face the darkness of this ninja world.
Mingyu kicked hard, stretched out his hand to brush away the branches and leaves, and looked ahead, a wisp of shadow flashed in his eyes.
ā¦ā¦
In a magnificent building in Konoha, there are thousands of doors, and in the deep underground, a black-robed man wearing a mask knocks on the door.
A majestic voice came from the gate: "Come in." ā
The black-robed man pushed the door and walked in, the dome in the room was very high and wide, almost impossible to see, and the decoration was simple and magnificent.
There was so silence in the empty room, as if no one existed, only the slow, low sound of the black-robed man's boots.
The black-robed man walked through the long passage, and saw the back of a man, from behind, the head below the parietal bone to the neck, all wrapped in bandages, and a handful of black hair on the top of the head was exposed, like a radish.
He wears half of his black kimono coat and the other side of his white kimono robe that looks like a monk's robe. His whole outward outfit looks weird and comical.
But the black-robed man didn't have a trace of a smile, he knelt down and said, "Lord Tuanzang, the news of the 'Strangling Miao' operation has returned. ā
Tuan Zang turned his head and said, "What is the result?"
"Failed, both squads were killed. ā
"That Fuyue has grown to this point. ā
"According to intelligence, Uchiha Fugaku they are indeed being dragged down, and our battle plan is already halfway successful. ā
"Then why is the Uchiha's imp still alive?"
"Like," the black-robed man paused, as if he couldn't believe it, "it seems that Akasaka was given and killed by that little ghost, which led to the failure of the plan." ā
"Hmph! A glint of essence shot out of Danzo's eyes, and he snorted angrily, "What about the traces of the Uchiha?"
"If they didn't catch up, the 'eyes' didn't dare to get too close, and they also had anti-tracking masters. ā
"Send someone down to find out where the Uchiha stronghold is," Danzou instructed, "Also, pass the news of Akasaka and Aosaka's deaths to that old guy Kanami, who already had a grudge against the Uchiha clan, and now they have added a new grudge, and this resentment is even deeper." Hmph, I'm going to let them be driven by me, and they won't die!"
"Yes!"
