Chapter 15 Tracking
The battle between Konoha and Yunyin, which seemed inevitable, unexpectedly took a turn for the better.
The turnaround came from a message from Kakashi Hachiki.
By chance, Kakashi Hachiki, who is tracking down the murderer, gets a message about "White Eyes" from the mouth of a drunken drunkard.
"Fog Hidden Village just got a pair of white eyes."
Although the murderer who attacked and sniped the Cloud Hidden Emissary Regiment was not found, Kakashi Hachiki still transmitted the news back to Konoha as soon as possible.
It was this news that made the originally clear situation chaotic again.
As if the drowning man suddenly saw a life-saving straw, after the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash got the news, they didn't have time to confirm the authenticity of the news, so they spread the news to every corner as soon as possible.
Within a day, several major ninja villages received the news at the same time.
As the blood inheritance limit of the Hyuga clan, Konoha's famous family, "white eyes" have always been something that Konoha cherishes very, very much.
No other village has ever had the eye of this legend before.
The only pair of white eyes that were left out was the pair that the Yunyin Village envoy group had just obtained.
Things are pretty clear on the surface.
Although Wuyin Village came forward to clarify for the first time, saying that the white eyes he had just obtained came from a secret channel, not from the Yunyin Village envoy group.
But Yunyin Village and Wuyin Village were originally feuding, and there has always been a dirty relationship between the two ninja villages.
This made the statement of the Fog Hidden Village somewhat pale.
On the same day that the news was received, Yunyin Village began to withdraw its troops from the borders of the Fire Nation one after another.
Obviously, Yunyin Village did not have the confidence to face the attack of the two major ninja villages of Konoha and Mist Hidden Village at the same time.
What's more, there are also Shayin Village and Yanyin Village that are eyeing each other.
Once you are a little careless, it will be Yunyin Village that will be besieged by the four great ninja villages.
In order to show his sincerity, Konoha also began to recall ninjas from the border the day after the withdrawal of troops from Yunyin Village.
A great war quietly ceases before it begins.
And that's just because of a seemingly inconspicuous piece of news.
。。。。。。。。
The dark clouds that had been pressing overhead for days finally lifted.
The entire Konoha is filled with a peaceful, joyful atmosphere.
Konoha, who had just stepped out of the shadow of the Nine-Tails attack, was really powerless to face a protracted war again.
Of course, this is just the simple idea of ordinary Konoha people.
The idea of the Konoha higher-ups is much more complicated.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside."
Now that the external threat no longer exists, all attention must be focused on clarifying the unstable factors within Konoha.
This unstable factor is the Uchiha clan.
。。。。。。。。
Late at night.
Above the sky, stars peeked out of the darkness.
The Uchiha Itachi sat quietly on a high wall in the darkness, overlooking the village where the Uchiha clan were.
The shadow cast by the Uchiha clan's huge fan emblem wrapped around his body, as if telling him about the Uchiha Itachi's former glory and current loneliness.
Under the cover of night, the low roofs of every house seem to be lower, as if the whole village is quietly sliding into the bottomless abyss.
The Uchiha Itachi suddenly straightened up, his gaze past the rows of houses, and landed on a nondescript path.
A sneaky figure walked forward in the darkness, looking at the direction, it was actually going to Nanga Shrine.
Although the man carefully concealed his body in the dark, Itachi Uchiha recognized him at a glance.
It's Uchiha Yashiro...
But at this time, what is he doing at Nanga Shrine?
The Uchiha Itachi slipped silently off the wall like a gecko, and his instincts told him that something must be wrong.
Uchiha Yashiro continued to carefully advance on the path to Nanga Shrine, but he didn't know that at this time, in the darkness behind him, there was already a ghostly figure.
。。。。。。。。
The Uchiha Itachi hides in a towering tree on the side of Nanga Shrine.
He held his breath and minimized the chakra fluctuations throughout his body.
It's like a lifeless stone, hidden behind a large thick foliage.
Through the dense foliage, his gaze fell far below a torii gate outside Nanga Shrine.
Where, Uchiha Yashiro nervously paced back and forth, looking like he was waiting for someone.
The air twisted and deformed right in front of the Uchiha Yashiro.
Uchiha Itachi guessed who the visitor was in an instant, he closed his eyes, and even stopped breathing, hoping that the visitor would not find out about his existence.
A small sound penetrated through the leaves and into his ears.
But his voice was too soft to hear what the two were talking about.
Itachi Uchiha wanted to use the chakra in his body to hear what the two were saying.
But reason eventually overcame his curiosity.
With the strength of the masked man, once the chakra is used, he will definitely not be able to hide the masked man's perception.
And this time, I'm afraid that I won't have the good luck of the last time, and I can once again pick up a life from the masked man's hands.
Perhaps for fear of being discovered, the masked man's conversation with Uchiha Yashiro was brief.
By the time Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes again, the masked man had already left, and Uchiha Yashiro was returning to the village where the Uchiha clan was located with an excited face.
Uchiha Itachi exhaled softly and did not continue to follow the Uchiha Yashiro who was leaving.
His heart was filled with surging doubts.
Uchiha Yashiro is the representative of the main battle faction, and it has always been under his instigation that the Uchiha clan has embarked on the road of no return to a violent coup.
Judging from the few contacts he had with Uchiha Yashiro in his previous life, Uchiha Yashiro was a ninja who was fierce and inward-looking, and his strength was not outstanding.
It's just because of the high ranking of the elders that he got a good position in the Uchiha clan and the Konoha police force.
Why would such a person be so active in the battle between the Uchiha clan and Konoha?
Looking at the situation of Fang Cai, Uchiha Yashiro has long been in contact with the masked man, like the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
So, what is the purpose of the masked man? And what can Uchiha Yashiro get from the masked man?
His father, Uchiha Fugaku, does he know about the masked man's connection with Uchiha Yashiro?
What role did the Masked Man play in the extermination of the Uchiha clan?
It was only at this moment that he realized that the extermination of the Uchiha clan was far from as simple as he thought.
He pondered, trying to find some clues from his past memories.
To his disappointment, he couldn't find any connection between the Uchiha clan and the Uchiha clan's extermination.
The tragic scene of the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination once again appeared in front of Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
A strong sense of crisis spread throughout his body.
