Time came when Uchiha Itachi and Shizumi left Fort Fourteen.

Each of them carried a root ninja and ran wildly through the rainforest, the sound of violent sirens wailing behind them, like a woman who had lost her child screaming for help.

"Where are we going now?"

Itachi's face looked bad, as if he was pondering something incomprehensible in his heart.

The root ninja on his shoulder, codenamed "Shen", had two legs severed from his knees.

And the female ninja, codenamed "Sorrow", was directly put down by the water stop with illusion.

Before Shisui appeared, Uchiha Itachi had already obtained the important document detailing the poison sac transplant experiment.

At that time, Shen was not by their side, and when Shen left the Sansho Yukaga office, he very "accidentally" detonated the detonator at the door, and his legs were crushed by the collapsed wall, and then the alarm sounded.

Although Itachi is a little disgusted with Shen as a shadow, and even makes such low-level mistakes, but because it is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, he is still so nervous that he doesn't know what to do. If you want to save Shen, Itachi's strength alone is far from enough.

"In order not to reveal my identity and intelligence, you have to kill me."

In the midst of the rapid circling siren, Shen said this to Itachi at the time.

"A ninja's life has no meaning, it's all about how he dies.

"For the sake of Konoha, for the sake of the village, for the sake of no war between the two countries, you have to do this."

Itachi, who was still very young, was somewhat moved by this spirit of sacrifice when he didn't have time to think about it, and his opinion of the ninja of the root organization also changed a little.

However, just as he was about to fulfill the wish of this admirable senior and put the kunai on the other party's neck, Shisui appeared, and a shuriken interrupted his next move.

But when Shen saw Zhishui, not only did he not have the surprise of "saved", but his expression became extremely gloomy.

He pushed Itachi away, took out a detonation charm and was about to commit suicide, as if he didn't even want to leave the corpse for Yu Shinobi, but he didn't expect to be cut off by Shisui with an instantaneous technique and a ninja knife to cut off the buried legs and pull out of the center of the explosion.

The room had been ravaged by two detonation charms, and even the floor had collapsed.

After stopping the water and saving Shen, he immediately put him down with illusion, and then took the weasel all the way to run wildly, and put down the sorrow again along the way.

But until now, they have left the fortress, and there is still no explanation for stopping the water-

Why is he in the Land of Rain?

Why did he cast an illusion on the Root Ninja?

Why did the Root Ninja kill himself when he saw him?

Everything became confusing in an instant.

Itachi is in dire need of an answer right now.

"I've made an agreement with Yiyong to meet tomorrow at the latest, at a hideout near the Fire Country. We had a short break there when we came. ”

Zhishui said simply, "Now let's go over there." ”

"Righteous and brave are also there?!"

Itachi exclaimed slightly, frowning, "You brought him to the Land of Rain?" ”

"Something big happened in the village, the Uchiha Yanhuo disappeared, and the clue happened to point to the Land of Rain, and we are here to investigate this matter."

Zhishui replied, "Come with righteousness, just in case." Specifically, I'll go back and tell you more. ”

At this point, he turned his head at a gallop, and a pair of three-hooked jade writing wheels and Itachi looked at each other.

A comic dialog with words written on it floated silently in Itachi's sight. That's the illusion of writing wheels.

[I may be watched, go back and talk about it.] 】

Itachi was stunned in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, just nodded slightly.

The water stop also turned back with confidence.

Being watched has been suspicious since he easily found the body of Uchiha Yanhuo in Yuyin Village.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the illusion had been cracked before, he might have believed that it was the Land of Rain.

But think about it carefully, in the country of rain, even Hanzo was disturbed by the affairs of the rebels, how dare he attack the ninja of the great country at this juncture?

And even if he did it, why didn't he experiment on the flames in this fortress, in Yuyin Village, wouldn't it be easier to be discovered by Sanshoyu Hanzo himself?

The more Zhishui thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he only felt that he had encountered a big conspiracy.

If the other party intended to let him discover Yanhuo's corpse, it means that his secret sneaking into Yuyin Village had already been discovered and used, and he didn't know anything about the other party.

[Is it a powerful perceptual ninja, or a space-time ninjutsu?] 】

He couldn't get his mind right now, so he had to follow the other party's script-

When he found the body, he found the "murderer", left the country of rain, and hurried back to the village to restore his life and solve the misunderstanding between the village and the Uchiha.

All more in-depth investigations are best done in secret.

At this moment, the alarm bell behind them suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a tiger roar that had never been heard before.

"It's ......"

The two Uchiha turned their heads at the same time, their faces discolored.

"This fire escapes ......"

"It's not Uchiha's technique."

Looking at it from a distance, you can see that the tiger is not a psychic beast, but is composed entirely of violently burning chakras.

It allows the fire attribute chakra to maintain the appearance of an animal, so lifelike, and at the same time has the high temperature of melting rock, which means that the fire attribute nature changes and the level of morphological changes is quite profound.

At least not something the two of them can do.

"What the hell is going on?"

Itachi's brow furrowed, and things were getting more and more confusing.

"Never mind, the farther away we are, the better."

Zhishui shook his head.

The alarm bells are sharp, but they are not widely transmitted.

Conversely, the roar of the beast, although muffled, will travel much farther.

"Such an obvious technique, the rain ninja around here will be aware of it.

"We continue to stay here, once our identities are revealed, the Land of Rain will certainly not go to war with Konoha, but it's hard to say whether other major powers will make a fuss about this.

"My crow has gone to find Yiyong. When he returns, we will leave the Land of Rain at once. ”

Itachi nodded, pressing his doubts into his heart for a moment, and galloped away with the water stop towards the east side of the fortress.

……

Meanwhile.

Purgatory Kyojurou made a few big jumps, going up the melted and resolidified wall, and finally came to the place where the Flame Tiger disappeared. And behind him, in the four-story fortress originally made of stubborn stones, there was also a deep and wide patio, which was burned by the tiger when it ran all the way up.

The composition of the righteous chakra is different from that of ordinary chakra, and it is not surprising that there is such a terrifying temperature.

"What an incredible feat! Your Excellency the Water Column! ”

In the heavy rain, Purgatory Kyojuro, who was wearing an ordinary yukata, admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Even if Onimai Tsuji is not miserable, he will be reduced to ashes under this blow!"

The outfit he had had since his resurrection, a letter raven poking its head out of its inner lining, its orange eyes curiously surveying the new world.

"Don't call me ...... like that"

Yi Yong's voice was weak, and there was really not much chakra in his body.

After releasing the "Flame Breath, Type Five, Flame Tiger" with all his strength, he didn't even have the strength to stand, not to mention the condition of his knees, once he got out of the emergency state before, it was not enough to support his body.

"Also, can you let me down......"

At this time, Yi Yong, who was covered in blood, was being hugged by Xing Shoulang in the way of a princess.

A blue chakra frenulum slipped out of his low-hanging hand, dragging seven semi-floating bubbles, in which the children who had survived were sleeping quietly, seemingly breathing fairly steadily.

This is a modified version of the second Hokage's water prison technique, subverting the purpose of the technique itself to detain others and drown.

Judging from the usefulness of this technique, it should be used by the second Hokage when he rescued those of his own people who were accidentally injured by him from the water.

But in any case, the current Yiyong looks like a child who is tired of playing in the park and is held by his brother, and he still has seven balloons in his hand, which is full of eccentricity.

"How can this work? I can already see your bones! ”

Yan Zhu righteously refused Yiyong's request.

"From now on, Your Excellency Shui Zhu will rest first. I'll do everything I can to get these kids out and find a doctor for you!" ”

"Just call ...... by name"

Yi Yong's voice became weaker and weaker, and the gap between his eyes became smaller and smaller.

"Then I'd be respectful and obey! Brave! You can also call me Kyojuro! ”

Yi Yong, who was about to fall into darkness, was shouted again by a voice. He knew it was Kyojuro's way of keeping him awake, and it wasn't the time to fall asleep.

"Find a place to put them first, I don't have much chakra."

"I see!"

Kyojurou reached out and touched the blue chakra strap, holding the "balloons" behind him, and then looked at the courtyard of the fortress.

He saw that in the courtyard, there were more than 20 fallen rain ninjas, some with one or two shurikens stuck in their bodies, some had no wounds at all, their bodies were still slightly undulating, and they fainted to the ground for some reason.

It seems that these are the things that the people who set off the alarm bells did as Yi Yong said before.

"It's such a murderous area, and it doesn't make people happy at all!"

Judging by the route, those people should have climbed over the city walls and left from here.

But thanks to those people who brought down the rain shinobi in this courtyard, otherwise they would be in very trouble now.

Kyojuro's eyes turned to the other side, and finally stopped on the hut of the stable, where several black oilcloth carriages were parked, and they could be dispatched as long as the reins were attached.

"Great! Want! ”

He called out a name, and the crow immediately emerged from the lining of his coat and flew onto his shoulder.

With the character of Purgatory Kyojuro, he will not be entangled in why his letter crow appeared in this place.

On the contrary, he immediately accepted this partner who had fought with him.

"Lord Yanzhu!"

"Let's look around for a way out of here, and find something to eat by the way!"

"Understood!"

The crow immediately took off, charged high and then circled in the rain, not disappearing in a single dive.

After finding a suitable position to land, Xingjulang jumped down from the top of the four-story fortress with the breath of Yiyong running fire, and seven "balloons" rushed down with him like tails, and after landing, the surrounding rain splashed everywhere, staining Xingjulang's yukata, but it did not splash on Yiyong's body at all.

"It's time to come out!"

Kyojuro walked to the side of the carriage, punctured all the bubbles with his fingers, and put the children into the tarpaulin-covered canopy in order of height, and placed Yoshiyo in the outer position.

At this time, his letter crow came back with a long loaf of bread and handed it to Kyojuro's hand.

"Lord Yanzhu! There is only one exit to this fortress, which are two large heavy iron gates, and I did not find the location of the switch! ”

"It doesn't matter."

Kyojuro clenched his fists, confident in the strength of his body.

He took a bite of the bread and said, "Delicious!" ”

He straightened Yiyong's body a little, "Yiyong! Eat something and stay awake! ”

Then he looked at Shinya, "Yes, are there ninjas around the gate?" ”

"The ninjas inside the fortress have all entered the building to search, but there are guards outside."

"Thank you!"

Purgatory Kyojurou said while going to pull the reins of the horse: "Yiyong is handed over to you, you must not let him sleep!" ”

"Yes!"

……

Outside the fortress.

The two rain ninjas who had put Yiyong and the leader of the wanderers into the city had different expressions.

They heard the chaos inside, but no one opened the door for them, and they didn't know what was going on.

According to the regulations, they can only wait boringly outside the door.

"Well, what's going on?"

Rain Shinobi, who was holding a spear with a hat, listened attentively, "Is it the sound of horses' hooves?" ”

"Someone must be going out."

"But the one who opened the door upstairs is not there......"

As the two were talking, they heard a loud "bang" and saw a huge bulge suddenly appear on the twenty-centimeter-thick iron door.

The two men took up their weapons and stood in front of the door, listening worriedly to the second and third impacts, their bodies shaking with the door, keeping in sync.

It wasn't until the fourth time that the right one of the two gates was knocked out like a card thrown by a magician throwing his wrist, and the air currents swept away the two rain ninja's hats, and then the sound of the iron door clattering to the ground a few meters after the two of them were heard.

The rain ninjas swallowed their saliva and looked inside the door frame, where a strange-looking, yellow-haired boy with red hair was gently pressing his shoulder.

Behind him, a two-horse conjugated black carriage was parked.

The rain shinobi on the left knew that this was the enemy, so he casually took out two shuriken and threw them over, but Purgatory Kyojuro just took a step forward, and the momentum all over his body overflowed, and the shuriken flew to both sides as if it was specially avoiding him, hitting the wall and bounced to the side, sliding to the ground weakly.

Yu Shinobi didn't even have time to be shocked, Purgatory Kyojuro had already appeared in front of the two, pulled the spear in their hands and broke it directly.

"Excuse me!"

Purgatory Kyojuro didn't mean to continue to hurt them, but asked with sincerity on his face.

"If I want to leave this country, which direction should I go?"

The two rain ninjas glanced at each other and pointed to the side of the guide in unison.

"Oh! Can you find a doctor in that direction? ”

"Twenty kilometers to the south, it's ...... It's the border between the land of rain and the country of rivers, and when you enter the country of rivers and encounter towns, you can find a doctor......"

"Thank you so much! Lend me this knife! ”

After Kyojuro got the answer, he drew the saber of one of them, knocked them down and placed them against the wall, and then immediately turned over his horse and pointed at the south.

"Everybody's sitting tight! Let's go! ”
