Chapter 29: The Death of the Uchiha (Part II) (5000)
Three days later, on the way to the border checkpoint of the Land of Winds.
After passing through a forest that is evergreen all year round, the Uchiha Flame Squad decided to rest, and after ten hours of running with all their might, their physical strength was almost exhausted, and if they continued to move forward rashly, they would face the danger of insufficient chakra.
"Ah, it's the first time I've been so far away from the village, and I feel like I'm even breathing!"
Under a large stout old tree, the Uchiha was content to lie against the trunk, looking as if he was several times more comfortable than sleeping on his own bed.
Uchiha Cui, who was nibbling on rice balls (Shinobi, can't afford to eat soldier food pills) on the side, also nodded and agreed:
"We're not out of the Fire Nation yet, but it's nice to think that we won't have to see those annoying faces for a long time to come."
He said that it was naturally the common name of Konoha.
I don't know what's going on.,Recently, the negative feelings of the residents of Konoha towards the Uchiha have become more and more obvious.,There are even people who deliberately mess up when the garrison passes by.,So that the garrison can only continue to strengthen law enforcement.,Even the off-duty time is two hours longer than usual.。
Now, the Konoha police and the people have entered a vicious circle of repeated intensification and intensification of contradictions, and there is a great tendency to intensify.
Many people who are not ninjas go out on the streets to buy things, and they are not even willing to wear clothes with their clan crest.
The younger clansmen, who have become ninjas, are even more arrogant in the village than in the past, and are occasionally caught by the garrison.
Staying in the village any longer is really a physical and mental torture for Gan Wencui.
"We were able to come out and hide from the idle people, thanks to Brother Yanhuo."
Wen, who had the best personality among the three, smiled gently.
"I met Yiyong before I left, and I asked him about the patriarch's attitude towards this matter.
"He said that the original patriarch of Fuyue planned to keep the eldest brother of Yanhuo by his side to continue to cultivate, but the eldest brother did not agree to go to the garrison to do the work of the captain's assistant for the sake of our future, so the patriarch was very angry yesterday, and it is said that he didn't even eat......
"Eh, really?"
Choi and Gan spoke in unison, their bright eyes looking at the Uchiha Yanhuo sitting on the branch, and their tones were even more grateful.
"That's an important position, did Brother Yanhuo just give it up?"
The fact that Yiyong doesn't lie now is known not only to the Uchiha, but even to Hinata next door.
What he said can basically be regarded as self-evident facts.
"Hmph, what is that little ghost really asking and saying......
"However, don't think about it, I'm not doing this for your sake, and I don't put gold on my face."
The Uchiha Flame wrapped his arms around and turned his head to the side, his right leg stretched out straight against the branch, and his left leg dangled casually, dangling a little proudly.
"I'm just thinking about my reputation and I don't want to break the promise I made, that's all.
"Besides, I'm still so young, those guys want to leave me in Konoha Village to retire with them, and they say that they want to hone my character and take on more important responsibilities......
"I'll tell you the truth, I, Uchiha Yanhuo, would rather be trampled to death by a demon fox than agree to their request."
"It's worthy of Brother Yanhuo!"
Gan Wencui and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
In their opinion, Yanhuo has changed from the harsh indifference of the supremacy of strength half a year ago to a faint willingness to consider others, but he is still unwilling to admit it.
"By the way, we haven't asked yet, how did you pass the Shangnin assessment, Brother Yanhuo?"
Uchiha Choi asked suddenly.
"Could it be that the Hokage advisor named Mito Menyan didn't make things difficult for you this time?"
"Sounds like a pretty hateful person."
The other two chimed in, apparently curious about what was going on.
"Hmph, of course he'll find a way to find fault with me, but I didn't give him a chance this time."
As the Uchiha Yanhuo spoke, his mind couldn't help but remember the scene of the last time he bravely defended that yellow-haired imp, and he also remembered what the three generations of Hokage had said to him when he left.
"I didn't go it alone this time, but deliberately picked the right moment to pull a trailing waste out of the trap. Now what reason is there for Mito Menitis to say that I don't have team spirit......
"Besides, this time in the Shinobi assessment, the three generations of Hokage are also there, that old man is still sensible, and it is he who suppressed Mito Menyan's objections."
"In that case, the Hokage seems to be a good person......"
Uchiha muttered to himself.
Flame glanced at him and sighed wordlessly.
"You're thinking too simply, Wen. Later, when you carry out some complex tasks, you will understand that you can't just look at the surface. The most dangerous enemies often appear to you in harmless ways. ”
[I feel so wise when I say this......]
He stretched out a finger to educate the three people: "I have been in the barbecue last time for three generations, and I was arrested by the garrison. But even the patriarch has punished me for this, but the three generations themselves have shown favor to me in turn, don't you think it's strange? ”
The three exchanged glances under the tree, and finally nodded ignorantly.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, you don't have an impression when you say it.
"The freaks have seen a lot, and you will understand for yourselves. In short, remember, stay away from those smiling tigers, but people like me who have a straightforward personality and speak directly are worthy of trust. ”
"Straight ...... Talk"
Uchiha weakly mentioned, "Do you mean righteousness?" ”
The pine needles in the forest fell, and other than that, everything was silent.
"Speaking of him......"
The Uchiha Flame peered down from the tree, his eyebrows raised, and he clearly remembered something annoying.
"Why didn't that facial paralyzed imp and clingy imp come to my celebration last night?
"Is it looking down on me? I've heard from you that I've received help from that little ghost, and I'm going to give him a symbolic thanks. ”
[You said it didn't matter yesterday. 】
"Sasuke has always been under the personal care of the patriarch, and as for Yoshiyu, there should be something else."
Uchiha replied, "Although it's not good to say that, it's probably a good thing that Yoshiyoshi didn't go, after all, not everyone is familiar with his style, and it's easy to misunderstand......"
"Shhhh Obviously, he had only been on the street before. ”
The Uchiha Flame has a feeling that Yoshiyo is inexplicable.
It's as if I should remember more things related to him in my head, but no matter how I think about it, I only have a vague impression of the previous two meetings.
[Could it be that the Uchiha Itachi left me with some shadows? How is this possible......]
He shook his head, shook all his thoughts out of his head, and then commanded:
"Alright, it's almost time to rest. Although we are still in the territory of the Fire Nation and there is no danger, the basic preparations for survival in the wild still need to be done, and it should be regarded as training.
"Cui, you go around to check if there are any traces of wild beasts, and by the way, sprinkle some medicine to repel snakes and insects."
"Yes."
"Gan, you go to a place a hundred meters away and fifty meters away, and set up two layers of interlocking tripwire traps inside and outside. It doesn't have to be too complicated, it just allows us to react. Don't be clumsy as you always do. ”
"Got it."
"Wen, you're nearby, bury these detonation charms in the soil. If you don't need it, dig it up tomorrow and be sure to mark it around! ”
[The detonation charm is still quite expensive, and it cost so much money yesterday......]
"Oh, good!"
In this way, the three of Gan Wencui began to work together, and Uchiha Yanhuo, as the leader of the team, half-lay down and looked at the night sky through the layers of intertwined branches.
Gradually, as the sound of the three of them became farther and farther away, a kind face appeared on the bright moon, like a transparent painting embedded in the round frame.
"Grandpa, please look at it, I'll be ......"
"What's the catch?"
An unfamiliar, slightly hoarse voice rang in the Uchiha's ears without warning.
The thoughts in the eyes of the flame suddenly turned into a thick vigilance, and the blood-red three-hook jade writing wheel suddenly opened, and when he turned his head, he saw a messy hair, an orange-brown single-hole tabby mask, and a three-hook jade writing wheel eye that was rotating at high speed!
[When?! Is he a member of the same clan? 】
Can you appear by his side quietly?
"Forget it, I don't need you to answer anyway......"
The masked man said softly, and the illusion of the writing wheel eye was complete.
He was very confident in his eyes, which had controlled the Nine-Tails and even the fourth generation of the Perfect Human Pillar Force, and it shouldn't be a big problem to put down a junior who had just obtained the Three Hook Jade for only a year......
However, he couldn't even think of it.
Uchiha's inflamed brain was already covered by the pupil power of the illusion genius Uchiha to stop the water.
Therefore, the illusion he applied this time unexpectedly did not succeed, but instead caused the two huge pupil forces to cancel each other out!
The memory of the Uchiha Flame's modification has also been restored!
[Someone used the writing wheel eye to cast an illusion on him? Hitomi power is at least as good as mine......]
The masked people were amazed.
The presence of such a person means that there are other Uchiha who are also capable of manipulating the Tailed Beast, and his plans will have unpredictable loopholes.
His determination to exterminate the Uchiha has become even stronger!
And the flames over there, after a short period of surprise, reacted instantly.
He ignored the real memory that had just returned to his mind, and the kunai in his hand flashed like an afterimage, slashing at the throat of this suspected clansman. But something even stranger happened, his kunai-
[Straight through? Not an entity? 】
Flame's eyes widened, and when it couldn't hit, it stomped on the trunk of a tree and jumped back at high speed, its eyes scanning the surroundings like marbles that repeatedly collided and bounced on the frame of the eyes, trying to find the enemy's entity. But nothing came of it.
It wasn't until a chain flew out of the apparition's cuff and bit at him like a self-aware snake with a furious sound of air that Flame knew it wasn't just an apparition.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
[Since weapons can't hurt him, what about Chakra?] 】
A terrifying and violent flame roared out of his mouth, and under the drive of a sufficient amount of chakra, this fireball was six or seven meters in radius alone.
Moreover, the Uchiha Flame Flame Ball, the color of the flame is not ordinary orange-red, but a dazzling golden white light, five meters away, just by the high temperature at the edge can ignite the surrounding trees!
This level of fire escape is something that can't even stop the water, and it is the result of his hard work after losing to Uchiha Itachi.
After all, in his Uchiha Flame name, there are three fire characters!
Although he is not good at shuriken and illusion, he is known for his powerful fire and earth escape.
Of course, in addition to testing the other party's ability, this giant fireball is also to tell the other three -
Enemy attack!
But before the fireball was extinguished, a strange, gray-green tree trunk burst out through the bright firelight, and it looked intact!
"What the hell ......"
The Uchiha Yanhuo threw out three shurikens and intended to cut them and shoot them down, but the blade of the shuriken had just touched the branch, and the latter actually exploded out of thin air as if it had been pinched and exploded by an invisible hand, turning into dozens of small fragments, bursting rapidly in all directions!
[I don't know what it is, but there is chakra on it, which is definitely not good......]
In the dynamic vision of the three-hooked jade writing wheel, Uchiha Yan was still able to avoid these casual ones one by one, and think about countermeasures while dodging.
However, at this moment, Uchiha Fumi, who had been arranging the detonation charm nearby, heard the movement and emerged from behind a large tree, and was reflected in the firelight on his golden face, gushing out a strong shock.
"Brother Fire!"
Coincidentally, as he stepped into this battlefield, a fragment of a branch landed on his neck, and after the former came into contact with his skin, it "took root" in the sight of the Uchiha's fire, and then grew wildly-
The sound of flesh tearing sounded, and Uchiha Fumi's brain, chest, abdomen, and entire right hand were all pierced by sharp tree branches as thick as wrists, and before he could react, he was already dead anymore, and the tragic condition of the corpse could hardly be described in words.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha's eyes cracked, and it was not only his eyes that were red, but even the whites of his eyes were surrounded by dense bloodshots.
He looked at the place where the fireball had disappeared, and the masked man had come out of it intact, with a calm gait, like a walk.
[If even my best fire escape doesn't work for him......]
I'm afraid there is no other way to deal with him.
This is also the reason why the other party is so calm.
The other party is not even worried that he will run away!!
The sobriety brought by the cold reality stimulated his brain.
Uchiha Yanhuo gritted his teeth, didn't care about this stranger who was getting closer and closer to him, but turned his body directly, aimed at the direction that the other Gan and Cui Lai left before, and quickly sealed, and then slapped his hands to the ground at the same time, using most of his chakra on this technique that pinned his hopes!
"Tu Dun, Tuliu River!"
The ground more than five meters wide in front of the Uchiha flames quickly softened, like a wave of mud, advancing layer by layer, and the trees and surrounding soil collapsed on the spot, and continued to spread forward.
Uchiha Gan and Choi, who were anxiously hurrying back, couldn't instantly adapt to the softened ground under their feet, and were directly swept away by the mudflow, rushing into the distance without understanding what was happening.
Taking advantage of this gap, the Masked Man also came to Yanhuo's side, and after his body was blurred (in fact, sending his body into another dimension) to dodge Yanhuo's roundabout kick and bitter stabbing blow, he then slammed out and stepped on Yanhuo's chest with unmistaken accuracy, and the latter spurted blood from his mouth on the spot, and his bones collapsed.
His speed and strength are also far above the Uchiha's flames!
The latter flew upside down like a horizontal V-shaped cannonball, smashing one tree after another that required several people to wrap around, and finally rolled on the ground with open skin and dust, like a piece of beef wrapped in spices, ready to be roasted.
[The power of one blow completely made me lose my combat effectiveness...... Is it ......]
Yanhuo reached out and plunged kunai into the ground, struggling to lift his head, but his arm was broken.
There was a sharp pain all over his body, and if it weren't for the fact that his brain was no longer clear, and all his senses were gradually becoming numb, he would have screamed like a child who was afraid of injections.
[I, am I going to be killed? 】
[It's so fake, I'm obviously thinking about it just now, what will happen in the future-]
[And that bastard Uchiha Shisui actually played an illusion on me...... That little imp with facial paralysis, did he open his eyes at such a young age? 】
[Damn, I can't go back and reason with them......]
The masked man's ninja ashiki appeared in front of the flames, interrupting his vague thoughts.
But the man didn't do it right away.
Uchiha's fiery cheeks pressed limply against the ground, and his lips trembled as he asked:
"Who are you...... Why is there a writing wheel? ”
The masked man crouched down, perhaps the young man's gradual death reminded him of something familiar, so he wanted to accompany him through this last journey.
"I'm just an undead Uchiha, and I used to be just like you."
[It only takes one illusion to solve, but it turns out like this.] 】
"Why do you want to do it...... This kind of thing? ”
The Uchiha Yanhuo trusted the other party's statement, because there was no need for this person to tell lies to the dead.
But he was sure that it was not a single one of his people he knew.
"I need your Sharingan as a gift for an alliance......
"The purpose is to put an end to this meaningless world. But in order to achieve this, everyone in the Uchiha clan is an obstacle that I must remove. ”
"Yes...... Is it? ”
Yanhuo didn't quite understand the meaning of the mask man's "big words", but he needed to write the sentence of the wheel eye, and he understood.
"I'm sorry then......"
With the last ounce of strength in his body, he lifted his head slightly, revealing a bloody smile full of malice.
At the same time, the broken hand, which is almost numb, is quietly adjusting the shape of the kunai.
Uchiha Yanhuo coughed up blood and said loudly:
"Because of my eyes, you can only get one!"
[You two, you want to run away for Lao Tzu! ] 】
As he spoke, he slammed his head, to be precise, his left eye, into the kunai that was close at hand, and his strength was so great that the kunai came out of the back of his head, and blood splattered everywhere. The Masked Man didn't use the void, letting the hot blood stain his clothes.
At this point, the Uchiha flamed and stopped breathing forever.
At this time, it was only three days before he became a shinobi.
"I knew you would do it......"
The masked man shook his head helplessly.
"The reason why I will allow you to do this is because for the time being, I only need a writing wheel."
With that, he pressed the body of the flame and sucked it into the whirlpool at his right eye.
"Next, it's time to close the deal."
