The Uchiha retreated not only because the battle situation was unfavorable, but also because Onoki and the Iwa Shinobi troops were about to cross the stone valley and enter the battlefield.

There is another reason, and that is in the southeast direction.

The White Absolute clone brought a piece of news.

Konoha renegade Shinobi Village Danzo is approaching in the direction of Stone Valley with a wave of ninjas.

The Akatsuki organization is still in a dormant state, and it is not suitable for the world to appear in front of the world, so the Uchiha Obito appeared to meet the retreat of the Akatsuki members.

Xili and Izumi left the territory of the land and went straight south, intending to go back to the country of grass.

In the border of the country that has not yet been unearthed, they meet a person who is unexpected, but can also be thought of.

Quack –

Rattle!

The further south you go, the more you can feel the clear changes in the landscape, and the barren Yellowstone boundary is less and gradually becomes a stumbling forest.

Xili and Izumi were walking on the mountain stream path when they suddenly felt a pair of eyes shoot from overhead.

Both looked up at the same time, only to see a black crow hovering in the sky.

The crow, which had circled several times, refused to move away from the two.

"It wants us to come along?"

Sili seemed to see the crow's intentions and turned to ask Izumi's opinion, maybe it was a trap or it could be the guy.

Izumi also knew that the crows might be used by the Itachi to lure them over.

She hadn't seen Itachi since it left Konoha.

"Go check it out! Be careful. ”

"Hmm."

The two immediately changed their course and went in the direction of a broken cliff, and the cascading waterfall cut the cliff in two like a knife.

On the other side of the cliff there is a cave, hidden behind a waterfall that is difficult for ordinary people to notice.

The black raven hovered in the air for a while, and then swooped headlong into the cascading waterfall, diving straight into it.

Sili immediately switched perspectives and followed.

Sure enough, in a cave behind the waterfall, he saw the figure of Uchiha Itachi.

"It's him, let's go over!"

The two sides of the cliff cut by the waterfall are more than 100 steps apart, which is an insurmountable barrier for ordinary people.

But it's just a little bigger for a ninja.

Ninjas have countless ways to get past.

And Xili chose the most simple and rough one, he grabbed Izumi's waist, and his body bowed slightly and gathered his strength on his legs.

Rumble!

The chakra beneath his feet erupted, spewing out a powerful air current.

Xili's body was like a cannonball, and he swept over the cliff with a whoosh, and the distance of a hundred steps came in an instant.

Whoa!

The two of them plunged headlong into the cave behind the waterfall, and the black crow landed right on the Uchiha Itachi's small arm.

"Their mission seems to have failed."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Xili and Izumi, who were unharmed, and his surprise was only a short moment, after all, Xili was the most meaty bull demon king.

From the time he knew Sili until now, he had never seen Sili injured in battle.

Isn't it supposed to be unscathed?

"What are you asking us for? Not afraid of being discovered? ”

Xili looked around, but did not find the figure of the ghost shark.

The Xiao organization acts in pairs all year round, and after the team members decide, they basically wear crotch pants.

Where the ferret goes, where the ghost shark goes; Where is the ghost shark, where is the ferret.

"No need to look for it, the ghost shark is not here."

"I don't have much time, long story short."

With a flick of the Uchiha's wrist, the black crow burst out of the cave and disappeared beyond the waterfall.

He looked at Xili and Izumi, and his hard cheeks couldn't help but soften.

There is also a hint of humanity in the cold and indifferent tone.

Uchiha Itachi spoke, "After the Akatsuki organization fails in its mission in the Land of Earth, it will enter a long period of hibernation. ”

"During this time, our main task is to accumulate funds and monopolize the war mercenary commissions between small countries."

"I guess it's about two to three years."

In other words, they still have two or three years to figure out the secrets of the organization.

Hearing such information, Xili was not surprised.

According to the development of the Hokage's plot, the Akatsuki organization is indeed accumulating funds at this stage and gradually monopolizing the war hire commissions between countries.

However, this bit of information was not worth the risk that Uchiha Itachi would take to tell him.

After a pause, Uchiha Itachi continued, "This time is just the beginning, the Akatsuki organization has begun to pay attention to you. ”

"Scorpion and Deidara were sent to the ruins of the Vortex Country, and the specific mission is ominous, so it should have something to do with you."

"I'm afraid they've found a way to deal with you."

The Land of the Vortex?

Xili raised his eyebrows, and all the country of the Vortex could think of was the Uzumaki clan.

Scorpion and Deidara looking for survivors of the Vortex Clan? Or rather, the organization... Nagato looking for survivors of the Uzumaki clan?

Sili squinted, always feeling like he had caught something but couldn't figure it out.

Nagato himself is from the Uzumaki clan, so why is he looking for the Uzumaki clan?

Take note of this information for now, and you'll know what their mission is when you have time to kill the scorpions.

That's right, it's that awesome.

Let the scorpion live just because he doesn't have time, it's not that he can't kill it!

Xili's eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered something, "In exchange, I'll tell you a piece of news too." ”

"Huh?" Itachi Uchiha raised his eyelids and let out a soft sigh.

It's not a special thing, it's the mission of Xili and Izumi on this trip to the land of the land - Shimura Danzo.

Originally, this mission was fake, and the information about this mission was naturally fake.

But in the middle, Orochimaru intervened sideways, turning the fake mission into a real mission, and the fake mission information became the real mission information.

"Shimura Danzo escaped from Konoha Village, and now he is in the territory of Earth no Country."

"Shimura Danzo..."

Hearing the words Danzang, Uchiha Itachi's calm eyes finally changed color, and a faint killing intent was revealed.

Once upon a time, Uchiha Itachi thought that Danzou was a lone wanderer like him, hiding in the darkness to protect Konoha Village.

After going through so much, he discovers that Danzo is a cancer that eats away at the roots of Konoha.

"You want to kill Tuan Zang, and I want to kill Tuan Zang."

"Why don't we cooperate?!"

It's not that Xili is worried that he won't be able to kill Tuanzang, so he invited Uchiha Itachi to clean up Tuanzang together.

It's that he wants it but has a wish.

In Naruto, Uchiha Itachi is a flawed perfect man.

And this flaw is because of Shimura Danzo.

If it weren't for Tuanzang secretly fueling the trouble, it would be impossible for Uchiha Itachi to kill his parents and the entire Uchiha clan with his own hands.

Rather than kill Danzou himself, Xiri would rather see Uchiha Itachi kill Danzo.

Is it in another world, let Uchiha Itachi avenge himself with his own hands?

Even though Sili didn't even blink an eyelid when he sold his teammates, even though Itachi was about to get used to being sold by Sili.

But as teammates, as 'childhood sweethearts' who grew up together.

Siri is willing to give up the group to Itachi.
