Chapter 82: Escape
The Uchiha Shisui once again tried to extract the chakra from the body.
His body cooled down at the same time as his heart.
With his current chakra, he can't even open the writing wheel eye again, and how can he face the many enemies in front of him...
A white bolt of lightning split the air in half, and the rain came with a roaring thunder.
Wetting his body also extinguished his last hope.
The Uchiha clan is already known for their fire escapes, and the bad weather minimizes the power of fire escapes.
"Even God wants to destroy the Uchiha clan?"
He looked up at the dark sky.
Soybean-sized raindrops fell gold in his mouth, and bitter taste filled his mouth.
I don't know if it's because of the rain, or because of his despair.
γγγγγγγγ
A dark shadow dressed distinctly differently from the others suddenly burst out of the forest and pounced on the Uchiha Shisui, who had already given up the fight.
"Be careful."
Tenzo and the boy with black-rimmed glasses shouted almost simultaneously.
The rattan and the insect whip broke through the rain curtain at the same time, rolling towards the uninvited guest who was rushing towards the Uchiha to stop the water.
It's a weasel...
The flame of hope reignited in the Uchiha's already dead eyes.
The black shadow ignored the sound of breaking the air on both sides, and his body pulled an eerie S-shape in the rain, brushing against the rattan and insect clouds.
In his hand, several small black balls flew out silently.
And behind him, rattan and worm clouds were still in hot pursuit.
"Bang...
White smoke rose from the ground with the sound of explosions.
It only took a few breaths to envelop a large open space.
The rattan and insect clouds lost their target, whimpered helplessly in the air, and flew in opposite directions.
"They're going to escape through the smoke...
As soon as a ninja uttered a half-sentence, a kunai ghostly shot out of the smoke and lightly brushed his throat.
He reached in vain to cover his blood-gushing throat, and the scarlet liquid stubbornly trickled out of his fingers, quickly staining his body red.
"It's from the Uchiha clan...
This was the second half of his sentence, but unfortunately he was never able to say it again.
The last sight he saw in his life was a pair of blood-red eyes that only a demon who had just crawled out of hell deserved.
γγγγγγγγ
The Uchiha Itachi's toe was on top of an arm-thick branch, and his body drew a wonderful arc in the air, landing exactly on the other branch.
Even with an extra Uchiha Shisui on his back who was unable to move due to poisoning, his movements were still elegant and calm.
But the sound of breaking the air behind him always reminded him that the pursuers were not far behind him, as long as his speed slowed down slightly, he would face the siege of as many as a dozen ninjas.
"Put me down..."
The Uchiha struggled to get away from Itachi's back.
However, Uchiha Itachi's arms were like two iron bars, locking him firmly to his back.
"If this continues, both of them will die!"
The Uchiha's angry shouts echoed through the rain.
"It's not good to die together...
His voice was calm and warm,
"Besides, if you want our lives, these few people are not enough...
Red chakras covered his legs, and his speed increased suddenly.
It seems to be an arrow off the string, breaking through the layers of rain curtains with unstoppable momentum.
The voice behind him and the chakra's breath grew farther and farther away until they completely disappeared into the torrential rain.
The woods in front of them gradually thinned out, and the torrential rain wiped out the breath and traces of the two of them.
The Uchiha Itachi's footsteps finally slowed, and his face turned a little pale from the huge chakra consumption.
The rain stopped at some point, and the dark sky began to turn gray.
"We've failed, Itachi."
Although he had just picked up a life from the line of death, there was no trace of joy on Uchiha Shisui's face.
At this time, the gathering of the Uchiha clan has long ended, and even if they have wings and can fly back to Konoha immediately, they will not be able to stop the Uchiha clan from the upcoming war with Konoha.
"yes."
The Uchiha Itachi's gaze looked straight to the east, which was the direction of Konoha.
In order to get rid of the pursuers behind them, they made a big circle in the torrential rain, and they had to spend twice as long on the journey back to the village for several hours.
"After you return to Konoha, you must immediately find a medical ninja to detoxify, I can't completely expel the insect poison on your body...
Itachi Uchiha deliberately diverted the subject.
"I'm much better now, but I won't be able to fight for a short time...
Uchiha Shisui frowned,
"How do you know someone ambushed me...
"I'm also a "root" person, and it won't be too difficult to know some inside information. What I don't understand is that you and Tuan Zang have almost no intersection, why is the target of "Root" to you? β
Uchiha Shisui's mind conjured up the face of Shinobu Oda.
He quickly shook his head, dispelling the faint hint of suspicion.
"I don't understand either...
He replied.
γγγγγγγγ
The sky turned blue, then pale as a fish's maw.
Before the first rays of sunlight could illuminate the land, the two returned to the Uchiha clan without incident.
"Don't leave Konoha these days. Tuan Zang has lost a large number of his subordinates, and he will definitely not stop there. β
Uchiha Itachi looked at his friend's limping appearance and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
"Don't worry, I won't fall into the trap of Tuanzang anymore."
The Uchiha turned his head and barely managed to squeeze out an ugly smile.
γγγγγγγγ
Itachi Uchiha carefully pulled open the sliding door and placed the dirt-covered shoes on the shoe rack on the side of the entrance.
He walked silently through the passageway, without making a sound.
It was still some time before Sasuke Uchiha woke up, and he didn't want to wake up his brother, who was still asleep, because he was waking him up.
"Huh...
He turned his head in some surprise, and was met with bloodshot eyes.
That's not writing wheels, it's because of anger and staying up all night.
"Where did you go last night? You should know very well how important last night's party was to the Uchiha clan! β
Uchiha Fugaku's roar broke the silence in the room.
"I'm really sorry. I have an urgent mission to leave Konoha ... β
The Uchiha Itachi bowed his head deeply, covered in dirt and blood to prove his words.
Uchiha Fugaku quietly looked at his pale son, and family affection finally prevailed over anger.
He sighed deeply, and his tone became gentle,
"The Uchiha clan will launch an armed coup d'Γ©tat in three days' time, with the aim of changing Konoha's power structure. Anyway, this time we're going to put a member of the Uchiha clan in the Hokage's place. And your task ... β
He paused for half a second, his face turned cold with the words,
"Kill the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash."
