Chapter 169 The Approaching Shadow

"Bad news, hooligan."

In a desert near the border of the Land of Fire, a Baijue avatar came out of the scorching sand uncomfortably, facing the faces of Konoha Anbu who were being controlled by the Sharingan illusion one by one. said Obito Uchiha, who was checking their real appearance.

"How bad is it? Were both Kakuzu and Scorpion killed by Nagato and Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

Obito Uchiha looked at Konoha Anbe, who was decorated with the clan emblem of the Yamanaka Clan in front of him, and asked casually.

"That's not it yet. Sand Yin and Nagato just found some clues that I asked Scorpion's subordinates to leave on purpose, which can point to him. Kakutsu's side has not been exposed yet."

"Then there's something wrong with the scorpion?" Uchiha Obito turned his face to the side, staring at Bai Jue's avatar with the Sharingan that belongs to him behind the mask, "Has he been killed? Or are we and him Has the contact information been disclosed to the outside world?”

"Scorpion was killed by Uchiha Shisui."

Bai Jue's words stunned Uchiha Obito for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the second batch of investigation teams from Konoha beside him, and then information corresponding to the name Uchiha Shisui emerged in his mind. His face behind the mask couldn't help but sink.

"Uchiha Shisui? Is that the guy who was captured by Kaguya Rei on the battlefield?"

"That's right, it's the Uchiha genius who was countless times brighter than you, and won the title of 'Shisui of the Instantaneous Body' in the third Ninja World War before he was ten years old~"

Bai Jue feared that the world would not be in chaos, "I don't know the specific reason, but that kid has become a member of Kirigakure's side. He is the member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who were sent to carry out the mission this time, and he also accepted With the Heavenly Curse Seal bestowed by Kaguya Ren, relying on the power of that thing, he solved the Scarlet Sand Scorpion by himself, and also got the biggest secret of the scorpion~"

"What secret?"

"His heart is also the core that condenses all of Scorpion's chakras, memories, and knowledge," Bai Jue said to the unhappy-looking Uchiha Obito, "that thing, it seems that as long as there is a puppet, it can make Chi The Sand Scorpion has come back to life..."

"Hmph, it's just something of that level," Uchiha Obito sneered when he heard that what Uchiha Shisui took away was only the heart that could revive the red sand scorpion, and turned around indifferently and continued to check the side Konoha Anbe's true appearance.

"The information Xie possessed was originally revealed to him on purpose by us. Even if the people of Kirigakure resurrected him, it is impossible to obtain any information beyond his cognition. If Bai Jue is just talking about this kind of thing, The bad news is the information that Uchiha Shisui took refuge in Kirigakure, and it is even worse."

"Don't you consider doing something against him?" Bai Jue asked curiously: "As Uchiha's most famous genius, Uchiha Shisui's pupil power should be worth looking forward to, right? And he also took refuge in Kaguya Rei, Isn't his behavior doubly damning to you, Obito?"

"I'm not interested in biting the bait that Kaguya threw out, even if the bait does look delicious."

After Uchiha Obito inspected the true faces of all Anbu, and confirmed that none of them had the secret technique and blood succession limit that he wanted, he opened the divine power of his right eye, and all Konoha Anbe who were in the illusion He sucked it in, and then said to Bai Jue with some displeasure:

"Let's go, Bai Jue, it looks like our plan is going to fail."

"Huh? Don't you plan to let them send out a distress message and bring Konoha's third investigation team over?" Bai Jue looked at Obito Uchiha's back in surprise, "Maybe next time, the Fourth Hokage will Will Hatake Kakashi be sent out?"

"If Minato-sensei would send Kakashi out, he should be in the first investigation team." Obito Uchiha shook his head, with indescribable complex emotions flashing in his eyes, "Since you are here On the premise that the first investigation team was attacked, and the only survivors managed to send back a few pieces of information, they were still killed, and there was no Kakashi in the second investigation team, so there was no need to do the third investigation team. time."

"So we can only go to Konohamoto Village and find a way to get your eyes back?"

"Maybe, it's not necessarily just my eyes."

Uchiha Obito recalled what he saw when he used Kamui's virtualization ability to go to Konohamoto Village for reconnaissance, and slowly exhaled.

Uzumaki Kushina's belly has grown significantly.

In other words, the Nine-Tails seal will soon enter an unprecedented period of relaxation.

"Je, go tell Kakutsu and the others to stop attacking Konoha and Kirigakure's ninjas, and turn 'Root''s activities back to darkness...until I get my left eye back, I can't continue to cause Kirigakure And Konoha's attention."

"Yes yes yes~"

A gust of hot summer heat wave blew past the place where Uchiha Obito and Bai Ze disappeared, rolled up the golden sand, and pushed the ubiquitous sand waves in the sand sea to roll forward. In the sand waves surging like sea water, a skull that had been gnawed clean of flesh and blood by animals of all sizes in the desert rolled out with a gurgle.

On the skull was tied a wooden leaf forehead guard stained with dark blood stains.

……

"Minato, you look preoccupied...are you still worried about going to the Land of Winds to investigate Anbu's murder incident?"

Shikahisa Nara looked at Minakame Minato, who had been staring at the document in front of him for nearly half an hour, but made no progress at all, and asked worriedly.

"A part of it is like this."

Namikaze Minato sighed, and the sunny and handsome face showed a rare fan-shaped emotion composed of five points of worry, three points of anxiety, and two points of confusion.

"The village has finally settled down. Seeing that it finally has the opportunity to rectify the crux of the development of the village, it suddenly happened that someone is killing Konoha ninjas... Although I don't want to believe this It is a precursor to Sha Yin starting another war, but we have to make various preparations in advance around this matter."

"Besides, for some reason, I can faintly feel that there is a huge cloud hidden in the darkness, approaching Konoha..."

"It's only been peaceful for a few years, and soon there will be another ambitious person secretly ready to move?"

Nara Shika sighed for a long time, scratched the back of his head and said:
"If this is the case, then I will go to Sarutobi-sama to discuss the matter of improving the existing defense system of the village... and Minato, if the investigation team is still missing this time, or if only information is sent back, we I'd better ask Zilaiye to go out and investigate, he is the only shadow-level powerhouse in the village who can still be dispatched normally."

"If necessary, I will ask Jiraiya-sensei."

Namikaze Minato nodded, as he accepted Nara Shikahisa's proposal, and then he turned and looked out the window, looking at the cliff carved with the Hokage Yanyan of the past dynasties, and the face that belonged to him on it, silently He clenched his fist.

　Is the capacity of the old ring a bit outrageous...

　　Why does it feel like it takes nearly [-] hours just to get through a week...
