Chapter Forty-Eight: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Uchiha Yashiro!"
Uchiha Inaho's high-pitched, thin voice sounded very harsh. Beside him, Uchiha Iron Fire stared at Uchiha Yashiro with an iron face. The anger in his eyes seemed to jump out at any time and burn the Uchiha Yashiro in front of him alive.
"Looking for me?
Uchiha Yashiro put on a smile and swaggered towards the two, with no abnormality on his face.
"This time the patriarch election, you are behind the trouble, right?
Seeing him like this, the already ugly faces of the Uchiha Iron Fire became even darker.
"How could it be me!"
Uchiha Yashiro shouted loudly in a very exaggerated tone, and even the guards at the Uchiha station not far away turned around and looked in the direction where several people were.
Seeing that the two of them looked unbelieving, he helplessly spread his hands, lowered his voice and said:
"If you want to say that you are most qualified to replace Uchiha Fugaku as the patriarch, there is no doubt that you are the iron fire. That little ghost called Stopping Water is far inferior to you in terms of seniority, strength, and prestige. To tell you the truth, I also suspect that someone is manipulating the patriarchal election this time. ”
He turned his head to look around, and saw that there were no other Uchiha clansmen around, and lowered his voice a little,
"I've been investigating this matter all this time, and I already know who is behind the rigging of this patriarchal election."
"Who is it?"
Uchiha Tetsuho looked at Uchiha Yashiro suspiciously, and his face softened slightly.
"Uchiha Fugaku."
Uchiha Yashiro replied in the affirmative.
He paused, looked at the flickering faces of the two, and continued:
"Think about it, Uchiha Shisui became the patriarch, who would be the biggest beneficiary?"
"What you mean is that Uchiha Fugaku had to abdicate under pressure, but instead pushed out a little imp to replace himself, and he was manipulating behind his back. In this way, it is possible to calm the current discontent of the Uchiha clan and continue to hold power in their own hands? ”
This time, it was the Uchiha Inahuo who spoke.
As soon as the words came out, even the Uchiha Iron Fire beside him showed a thoughtful expression.
"You should have heard of the relationship between Uchiha Shisui and Itachi, right?"
Uchiha Yashiro waved goodbye to the two with satisfaction,
"I'm old, past the age of competing patriarchs. You are still young and there are opportunities ... ”
He smiled meaningfully, straightened his chest and strode away.
"This old fox...
Behind him, the Uchiha Iron and Fire glanced at each other, and invariably spat at his back.
。。。。。。。。
"Die!"
Ape Fei Nanami roared excitedly, and all the resentment and grievances since participating in the Zhongnin exam were all condensed in this thorn.
The moment he stabbed the Uchiha Itachi, he felt as if his whole body was floating, and the pleasure of that moment made him almost dizzy.
"Smack."
Itachi's body exploded in the air, white smoke covering the area of several meters in front of him.
The excitement suddenly turned into a huge loss, and the smile on Nanami Sarutobi's face seemed to be forcibly erased with a brush, leaving only a look of disbelief.
His eyes widened as he tried to find out the Uchiha Itachi's true identity in the smoke, but a white light awaited him.
A sharp sword silently rushed out of the white mist, piercing through the white mist, and then lightly piercing along with his body.
He looked at the wound left by the sword on his chest with a little dazed, a little overwhelmed.
Blood was pouring from the wound, and strength and chakra were slipping away from his body at a rapid pace.
"Help... Save me... ”
He looked at the Konoha ninja around him, holding the wound with his right hand, and reaching out in vain with his left hand towards Nara Shikatomo.
Through the white smoke that gradually dissipated, he saw a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.
"What a failure...
It was the last sigh of his life.
。。。。。。。。
"Tut-tut...
Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue and licked the blood on the sword, a look of disgust appeared on his pale face.
"It seems that it was the people of Mr. Ape Fei who died. It's a problem now... ”
Although he said this, there was no surprise on his face. It seems that killing the ape to fly to the seven seas is as easy for him as crushing an ant.
"Come out, Itachi Uchiha. If you don't want these imps to die because of you. ”
Orochimaru's left arm was strangely elongated, and it was whipped like a long whip against a large tree behind him.
The fluttering branches and leaves fell like raindrops, and the black-haired Uchiha Itachi slowly stepped out from behind the tree, as calm as a reef poking its head out of the waves.
"Your target is me, they're just irrelevant people."
Uchiha Itachi stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd who looked like they were facing a great enemy, and said lightly:
"Let them go, if you want to go back to Konoha someday."
Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Itachi coldly, and didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a cold smile for some reason.
"Let's go!"
Uchiha Itachi shouted, his eyes still firmly locked on Orochimaru's every move, but the words were clearly said to Nara Shikayu and his party.
"Let's go!"
Nara Luyu was about to refuse, but was preempted by Hinata on the side.
Several Konoha ninjas carried the wounded and disappeared into the depths of the trees like a gust of wind. Only the dried persimmon ghost shark remained unmoved, quietly watching the two.
"You go, Oni Shark."
Uchiha Itachi's gaze finally took off Orochimaru's body and landed on the dried persimmon oni shark with an ugly shark face. In that gaze, there was relief, and there was a feeling that could not be hidden.
"Trust me, you go first."
He said softly.
The dried persimmon ghost shark looked at the Uchiha Itachi, and his face changed unpredictably.
And the big snake pill on one side was already a little impatient, and there were gradually fluctuations and condensations of chakra around his body.
To Orochimaru's surprise, the dried persimmon oni shark didn't insist, but just took a deep look at Uchiha Itachi and turned around happily to leave.
The forest suddenly became dead silent.
The Uchiha Itachi stood defenselessly in front of Orochimaru like this, without making any defensive posture. And in front of him is one of the cruel and notorious "three ninjas" for human experiments, Orochimaru.
"It's really worthy of the man I fancy...
Orochimaru suddenly laughed, and the gloomy laughter flickered far and near in the forest, sounding very gloomy,
"The Uchiha's body on the first day, as well as those eyes, are all mine!"
His head suddenly elongated, and he rushed at Itachi Uchiha with his mouth open, a maniacal laugh still coming out of his hideous face.
