Chapter 143 Enemy
"Uchiha?"
The cat raised its head again and thought for a moment: "It seems Sarutobi Hiruzen has summoned the head of the Uchiha clan twice recently. Does that count?"
This is because Nekomata, who follows Kagawa, knows well that the Konoha high-level officials are wary of and reject the Uchiha people. Unless it is a meeting of the jonin, they generally will not take the initiative to summon any Uchiha people.
"I need more detailed information." Kane and Nekomata's eyes met.
"I can help you find out, but those cats and dogs are very stupid. If it really doesn't work, I can only do it myself." After Nekomata and Lu Nie looked at each other for a moment, they turned their heads away and said helplessly.
It is living a very comfortable life now, with Orochimaru and Kane helping to cover it. As long as it doesn't do anything rash, it can do whatever it wants freely and happily in the Konoha Village.
Although those cats and dogs are stupid, at least they will treat it as the boss and offer tributes to it.
This was a treatment that Nekomata had never experienced before.
The original body also looked down upon these stupid and weak creatures.
He doesn't trust humans now, but as he is in a symbiotic relationship with it and doesn't imprison it in his body, he still has a good impression of Lu Nie.
It couldn't refuse Lu Nie's request at all. Moreover, Lu Nie promised to give it a country where no one could disturb it and which was suitable for its current attributes.
puff!
Lu Nie dissolved the summoning, and the cat turned into a cloud of smoke in front of him and returned to the previous summoning location.
That is the technical development department of Konohagakure.
Lu Nie didn't have to wait long. Only two hours later, the Nekomata, who was summoned by the spirit world again, told all the information he had obtained in detail.
"I went to the Uchiha clan's home and met with the clan leader. The Uchiha ninjas who are still in the clan and have not left the village to participate in the war are being monitored by the Root and Anbu ninjas.
The reason is that Danzo Shimura obtained information from somewhere and believed that there was a traitor in Uchiha who had leaked Konoha's secrets to other villages.
The incident started when he saw a ninja who could use Wood Release outside the village, and an organization that was suspected to be founded by Uchiha Madara.
Fugaku used the Ninja Cat to pass information to Orochimaru, but he was strictly monitored by the Root. It seems that the Root is very familiar with the Uchiha's methods. "
The cat said everything Fugaku told him in the simplest language possible. Only when it came to Uchiha Madara did its body shrink subconsciously.
As one of the nine tailed beasts, they can be considered brothers from the same mother, but unsurprisingly, they have all been beaten into submission by two men in the past hundred years.
And these two men have close ties with Konoha.
One is named Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage of Konoha, and the other is named Uchiha Madara, a guy who relies on his eye power to do whatever he wants.
The power of his eyes is so strong that even the Nine-Tails, which has the strongest chakra and strength among them, is controlled by Madara's eye power.
Although it is just an insignificant split of the two-tailed beast, with the help and transformation of Lu Nie, it can even be said to have become a new individual.
But this does not mean that it will not remember or experience the memories and feelings that made the Second Tail so memorable.
Hearing that the man was still alive, it was now a little restless. It was even more shocked than when it first saw the appearance of the Samsara Eye.
Anyway, the Samsara Eye has little to do with it now, that is something its original form, the Two-Tails, needs to worry about and pay attention to. Strictly speaking, it has been transformed into almost the shape of Lu Ni.
The ferryman of shadows and souls!
This is its current main power attribute.
"By the way, Fugaku said that Shimura Danzo already knew that Shisui had opened the Mangekyō, and believed that he was connected to Uchiha Madara. He also said that the technology of the organization outside might have originally come from Konoha."
The cat finished speaking, thought for a moment and added.
"Want to drag the Technology Development Department into this critical period of war? This is indeed something that Elder Danzo would do."
Lu Nie immediately understood Danzo's purpose.
While targeting the Uchiha clan, he also threw some dirty water on the technical development department. It should be that he did not get enough evidence from Fugaku, so Danzo wanted to open up the situation with Shisui.
Does Shisui have a secret?
That's too much of a secret. Over the years, Orochimaru has never been shy about telling Shisui and Anko what he does. Orochimaru and Shikagawa don't care about the simple questioning of the Hokage's Anbu, because the Third Hokage wants stability, and for Orochimaru's sake, he will only ask routine questions.
But Danzo's reputation and character represent unscrupulous means and no bottom line. He is a true ninja in the dark.
"Hey, hey, hey! Is this the time to worry about this guy Danzo?" The cat jumped onto Lu Nie's shoulder again, stepped on his shoulder blades with its claws a few times, found a relatively comfortable position to squat, turned its head and muttered to him: "Isn't it that what we need to pay attention to is that this guy Uchiha Madara is still alive!?"
"Even if he is still alive, how much combat effectiveness can he maintain at his current age?" Lu Nie is not very afraid of Uchiha Madara now.
He could even guess that the Wood Release ninja who had contact with Danzo was that Jue.
Now, apart from the Technology Development Department, or in other words, apart from Orochimaru and him, the only external organization that can allow people to use Wood Release is the one under Uchiha Madara.
He has secretly hunted many clones of White Zetsu. It doesn't matter if the number is small, but once it exceeds a certain number, Lu Nie thinks it will definitely attract Zetsu's attention.
Without the future Nagato and Akatsuki as their minions, unless White Zetsu is willing to use the White Zetsu army, even with the now old and frail Uchiha Madara, their strength is not enough to fight against the Konoha Village.
Otherwise, with Madara's personality, how could he look down upon Danzo and take the initiative to contact him.
"That's good! I don't want to face that troublesome guy anyway!" The cat licked its paws like a cat, then immediately put them down. Its ears moved and it said to Lu Nie.
"somebody is coming."
After saying that, it disbanded its summons and returned to the Technology Development Department in Konoha. Of course, if necessary, it could also return to the "cage" of Lu Nie's body.
A burly Konoha ninja found Kane and Red Bean and gave them the latest mission of the camp.
"There has been unusual movement by the Mist Ninja. We now need to send a team of ten to support another nearby supply point."
Lu Nie and Hong Dou looked at each other and nodded slowly.
……
"What did Lu Nie's intelligence say?"
In a dense forest, Nagato and Konan looked at the miniature scroll in Yahiko's hand with some curiosity. Konan even squatted down and teased the little white snake that was responsible for delivering information.
The little white snake blinked in a very human way, then coiled up and tucked its head in, looking like someone you were just teasing. "We have to change the route." Yahiko handed the intelligence scroll to Nagato and Konan.
"Change route? Aren't we going back to the Rain Country?" Xiaonan was stunned.
Originally, after witnessing Hanzo's death, their agreed plan was to rush to the Rain Country, reunite the scattered partners, take over the Rain Village, and then rebuild the business channels.
And this time there is no need to worry about the problems of Rain Village and Hanzo.
But now that we are about to arrive in the Land of Rain, do we have to change route?
"Lu Nie asked us to escort Shisui." Nagato looked at the information on the scroll and answered quickly.
"Escort Shisui? Does a guy that strong need someone to escort him?" Konan's eyes widened. She witnessed the entire fight between Shisui and Hanzo.
The emerald green giant and the magnificent ninjutsu still make her feel suffocated when she thinks of them.
Why would someone who could kill Hanzo need an escort?
"It's just a precaution. It doesn't necessarily require us to actually show up and take action." After reading the information, Nagato passed the scroll to Konan and explained.
Just prepare for a rainy day.
If it was someone else's request, Yahiko and the other two might not necessarily put down what they were doing and rush over there without stopping.
But if the person who made the request was Nara Lune, none of the three would refuse. Especially Yahiko! After all, it was Lune who saved his life from the hands of the god of death.
And they also have a good sense for Shisui, they can feel the gentleness and kindness in Shisui's heart.
"I can go alone. Even if there are any accidents, Shisui and I can deal with them together. The Rain Village will be left to Nagato, Konan, and Mr. Kakuzu." Yahiko spoke first.
"I'll go with you. My perception can help you find Shisui faster and observe the situation." Nagato shook his head and stood up. "Leave the affairs of the Rain Village to Konan and Kakuzu-san."
"Hey, hey, hey! You three little brats, stop it! Don't go too far!" Jiaozu, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but speak up indignantly.
If it weren't for the fact that Nagato, the brat, had improved so quickly in strength and developed many abilities of the Rinnegan under Lu Ni's research and guidance, he would have given up long ago if he was indeed not strong enough to face the two bloodline hearts.
One by one, they all used him as a coolie!
"I'll pay you, Uncle Kakuzu!" Konan obviously knew Kakuzu's weakness. As long as the business of healing talismans can be restored, the Land of Rain and Rain Village will not lack supplies and money.
"Then let's go." After Yahiko and Nagato finished speaking, Nagato summoned a giant pterosaur-like bird. The two stood on the back of the bird, and as the bird flapped its wings and took off into the sky, it gradually disappeared into the sky.
……
One day later.
Near the evening time.
Shisui and the Gen team were preparing to travel overnight and find a base before nightfall, but they encountered an obstructionist.
"who are you?"
Above the open space, Shisui's eyes immediately became serious as he saw a strange man with a white body emerging from the ground in front of him.
The monster in front of him was completely snow-white and looked familiar to him.
Bai Jue?
It seems that this is how Lu Nie named the monsters that looked like this. Shisui can still remember the place where the specimens of these monsters were collected and studied by Lu Nie and Orochimaru.
According to Lu Nie's anatomical research, this monster seems to be a strange life form between plants and organisms, capable of transforming between the two.
Possesses the ability to use Wood Release and heal his own wounds!
Could it be that because of the disappearance of his companion, he finally came to find him?
But no matter what, Shisui was certain that the other party had bad intentions, because as soon as the other party's body left the ground, he launched an attack towards them.
The birth of Mudun · Tree World.
Above the land, thick tree branches rumbled up from the ground, and soon the open space in front of them turned into a dense small forest.
Shisui dodged immediately, but he didn't expect that the Root team following him also took action at the same moment.
Dense seals climbed up Shisui's body along the soles of his feet, and then two sharp daggers were placed on his neck and the back of his neck, one in front and one behind.
The tree stretched out its branches and wrapped up Shisui's body, while absorbing the chakra inside Shisui's body.
"Why?" Shisui glanced at the captain of the Root team, the ninja wearing a cat-face mask.
Even though he had heard about the Root's style of work and they had worked together on missions before, and he knew that they put the mission first and would stop at nothing to accomplish it, Shisui had never imagined that one day, the Root, an external organization, would actually turn around and target members of the village.
This puzzled Shisui, and at the same time, he felt a rare kind of anger in his heart.
"Mission!" The muffled voice of the Root team captain who was asked came from under the mask and clearly reached Shisui's ears.
"Mission? Was it an order given by Hokage or Danzo Shimura?" Shisui seemed to have accepted his fate, and while he was still able to speak, he continued to ask.
But this time, the captain of the Root team remained silent and did not give a corresponding answer, but he mercilessly cast the sealing technique in his hand on Shisui.
This is an elite Root team, but they are not biased towards combat power, but rather grappling and restraining. They are good at various curse and sealing techniques, as well as perception and control ninjutsu, and they cooperate very well.
"Oh my, nice to meet you, Uchiha Shisui!" White Zetsu, with a face full of whirlpools, leaned out from a tree branch, hanging upside down from it like a hanged man, and looked at Shisui face to face.
"Please move aside." The leader of the Root Team warned, "Watch out for his eyes!"
"I know more about Sharingan than you do! Don't worry!" White Zetsu Afei asked his question happily: "Do you know the feeling of defecation? I really want to know what it feels like, but Madara-sama never answers my question.
You are about to die, can you answer this question for me? "
"Madara-sama? Is that the person behind you?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
