Chapter 59: The Race Against Death
Uchiha Yashiro walked down the streets of the village in despair, and a group of urchins laughed loudly on the side of the road, which further accentuated his loneliness and unbearableness.
His heart was filled with remorse, loss, and despair, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he was about to lose his steps.
He didn't know if it would be wise for him to report the assassination of the Uchiha Iron Fire Brothers to Uchiha Shisui. In that moment, his instincts told him that the new Clan, who still looked like a weak-crowned boy, was stronger than he looked. If the Uchiha Iron Fire Brothers are two hungry wolves, then Uchiha Shisui is a real tiger, but this tiger is still dressed in a sheep's coat.
But things turned out to be unexpected. For the assassination operation, the Uchiha Shisui was so calm, like the deep water in a century-old well, and there was not a trace of waves in sight. Except for promising to go to the appointment on time, Uchiha Shisui didn't say a word, and even commented on his whistleblowing behavior, which made his heart empty, and he couldn't guess Uchiha Shisui's thoughts at all.
He is known for his cunning Uchiha Yashiro, but in front of this teenage boy, he looks like an untrained child, and he has a feeling of being thoroughly seen.
"The two Uchiha Iron Fire brothers are dead, and the Uchiha Shisui is not trustworthy. Something has to be doneγγγγγγ β
He shook his head as hard as he could, trying to throw the deep fear out of his head.

Xiao Nan's original intention was to let the Uchiha Itachi leave first, and he dragged the masked man for a while.
But after a while, she realized that the Uchiha Itachi's strength was far beyond her imagination.
If it weren't for Uchiha Itachi, she would have turned into a cold corpse at this moment.
The three figures made water marks in the rain curtain, so fast that they were almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.
Even if the two joined forces, Uchiha Itachi and Konan inevitably fell into a bitter battle.
Whether it was ninjutsu, ninja or physical art, the attacks of the two seemed to fall on the air, and they couldn't hurt the masked man in the slightest.
But every assault of the masked man hides a murderous intention, which looks light, but it can turn into a fatal blow at any time.
Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi's writing wheel eye was enough to capture the masked man's actions, and he rescued Xiaonan at critical moments several times.
"Xiao Nan, since you are looking for death, let you die here with this Uchiha imp today."
In the midst of the wind and rain, the masked man's arrogant and confident laughter fluttered in the air.
His body was so fast that there was not even a remnant left.
With a sneer, the masked man suddenly appeared behind Xiao Nan like a ghost.
"Die!"
His right hand like a claw poked out like a poisonous snake and took Xiao Nan's heart.
And Uchiha Itachi's kunai was still a few meters away from his body, and he had enough time to void his body after killing Konan.
He seemed to smell blood, and a twisted smile appeared on the face beneath the mask.

Xiao Nan knew very well that she was powerless to avoid the blow of the masked man, and the masked man was so fast that she couldn't even complete the doppelganger seal, so she just closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
She doesn't regret it.
Certainly not because of Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi was just a stranger she didn't know, and she couldn't afford to die for Uchiha Itachi.
From the moment Yahiko died, there was only one purpose for her to live, and that was to find out the real culprit behind the killing of Yahiko and turning Nagato into the walking corpse he is now.
Judging from the results of the investigation, Yahiko's death was a tragedy caused by the joint efforts of Sanshoyu Hanzo and Danzo. And in the end, Hanzo, a sanshoyu with the name of "demigod", also paid the price for this and died at the hands of "Payne, Heavenly Dao".
Yahiko died tragically, Nagato lost his ability to move, and could only use the "Reincarnation Eye" to create "Payne, Heavenly Dao" to exercise his will, and an additional man of unknown origin with a strange mask in the "Akatsuki" organization.
This is the final outcome.
The matter seems to be over, but the doubts in his heart have never disappeared from Xiao Nan's heart.
The Land of Rain and Konoha have always been opposing ninja villages. Just to erase a little-known organization called "Akatsuki", Sanshoyu Hanzo will cooperate with Konoha's No. 2 person, Danzo?
There is also the timing of the appearance of the masked man, as if stepping on the right point in time, appearing as a mentor when Nagato needs it most, guiding him in the use of the "reincarnation eye", and naturally becoming a member of "Akatsuki".
The "Reincarnation Eye" is a legendary eye, except for the legendary "Six Dao Immortals", I have never heard of anyone having it, so why does the masked man know how to use the "Reincarnation Eye"?
Not only that, but the masked man also has the blood inheritance limit of the Konoha Uchiha clan, the "Writing Wheel Eye", which makes the identity of the masked man more and more confusing.
A woman's unique sixth sense tells her that the whole thing is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Again and again, she warned Nagato to get in the way of the masked man. But Nagato already regarded the masked man as a teacher, as if he had been brainwashed, and strictly followed the masked man's instructions.
The reason why she provoked the masked man again and again, and even did not hesitate to be the enemy of the masked man, was to find out the details of the masked man.
It was only at this moment that she realized that she had made a big mistake, that is, underestimating the strength of the masked man.
But it was too late, and the Grim Reaper had stretched out its dark claws to her still in her prime years.

The red chakra rolled inside Itachi Uchiha like a volcano about to erupt.
Threads spilled out of his body, staining him into a red humanoid.
The rain evaporated by the blazing chakra before it could reach him, enveloping him in a cloud of mist. This made him a little faster.
Scarlet fluid began to ooze from his blood-red eyes, a sign of overuse of the Sharingan.
"How can it!"
He snarled at himself.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he never dreamed that a woman would die for saving himself, let alone a woman who had met for less than half a day.
But this bizarre scene is still happening in front of his eyes, and it is about to become an irreparable fact.
The already dark sky grew darker and darker, and the rain in the sky became violent as if it had received some kind of command.
The soybean-sized rain "snapped" on the three of them like hail, with a stern warning.
Uchiha Itachi ignored the huge raindrops, his body flying out like a sharp arrow, and rushed forward in an irresistible stance, as if he was racing against death.
He must save Xiao Nan from the hands of the Grim Reaper.
He'll be able to do it.
