Escape From Konoha Chapter 291

  Chapter 291 The eyes of the past

   Walking out of the house that can shelter from the rain, what I looked up was the gray sky.

  Gray is the only color in this village.

  No matter how bright the color is, it will be dyed gray in this village.

  Yuyin, a village that can only place hope in the rain.

  During the Third Ninja World War, this village was once ruled by the Nation of Fire, but then Konoha's Nine-Tails Rebellion broke out, and Konoha's strength was damaged.

   And this village is the headquarters base of the organization named 'Xiao'.

  It is also the birthplace of 'Xiao'.

  The icy wind and rain were blowing the red cloud's black-bottomed coat, and the black hair was blowing in the wind. Itachi couldn't help but grab the collar. In such an environment, the human body can't help but feel cold.

   It's been a while since I joined 'Xiao'.

  But even if I live in another environment, I still forget everything about the past in my mind.

  On that **** night, I stabbed the blade into the bodies of my clansmen, ended the life of my lover, and also ended the lives of my parents with my own hands...

  Afterwards, another immature figure appeared in Itachi's mind.

  Slowly close the red Sharingan with the three gou jade emerging, the younger brother's figure becomes clearer, and the hatred and despair reflected on the younger brother's face are so vivid.

  I am a family of sinners.

  However, all this is for the sake of the village, to prevent the outbreak of war.

  These are inevitable sacrifices.

  However, Sasuke must not think rationally about all this.

  This engraved hatred will allow him to gain great power, drive him forward, avenge his brother, and restore the reputation of the Uchiha clan.

  At least, now the Uchiha clan does not need to bear the charge of 'rebels', and is still a clan that Konoha is proud of.

   "Sasuke..."

   Itachi whispered the name of his younger brother Sasuke, opened his eyes again, and the light of Sharingan became as bright as blood, strange and bright.

   "You look pretty relaxed now, Itachi."

   A voice came from behind, it was a teammate from the same group in 'Xiao' - Ganshi Guisame.

  A S-class murderer who successfully assassinated one of the Five Great Nations, the Daimyo of the Water Country.

  Used to be one of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen, such a person would betray the village, and even become a traitor for assassinating a country's leader... Such a rebellious behavior made Itachi feel a little repulsed.

   A little carelessness, Kisame's actions will plunge the country of water into boundless chaos, and break the relationship between Kirigakure and the high-level officials of the country of water.

  Didn't he consider such serious consequences?

   Itachi didn't answer, just turned around and stared at Kisame with Sharingan.

  He has a strong body, much taller than himself, and always has a weird smile with a bloodthirsty color on his face, probably because of the special shape of his face, like a ferocious shark preparing to bite people.

   Seeing Itachi was silent, Kisame scratched his head helplessly and said: "Don't be in a daze here, the leader asked me to call you into a meeting. You are somewhat conscious of joining the organization. You are staying behind closed doors here. You probably don't know about the big events that happened in the ninja world recently."

"Big event?"

   Itachi was puzzled by what Kisame said.

  In the recent ninja world, apart from the genocide event he personally completed, is there any major event worthy of praise?

   "Hehe, you really don't know about it here, it's hard for you to sit still now. After all, you Konoha ninjas are really better than each other, especially the Uchiha, who is so arrogant."

   Not knowing whether to be sarcastic, sarcasm, or just joking, Kisame looked at Itachi with interest, as if he wanted to see something.

   Kisame's words made Itachi feel even more strange.

  What does this have to do with Uchiha?

   Kisame didn't explain anything to Itachi, but turned and left, signaling Itachi to follow and go to the meeting.

   Itachi pondered for a while, then followed Kisame in the chilly rain, and walked towards the tower.

  The scenery of Yuyin Village is relatively depressed, which is mainly due to the lack of population, so it looks lonely and lonely.

  In the past, because this was the hardest-hit area of ​​the Third Ninja World War, many people from the Land of Rain left their homes and fled to other countries to avoid the war.

  Xiao was formed during that special period of time.

  As Akatsuki's headquarters base, Itachi has been living in a secluded area of ​​Yuyin Village since he joined the organization, and is usually not disturbed by anyone. If he needs to go shopping, he will try to choose a time when there are few people.

  However, since he is a newcomer and he still has to get used to the power of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, this period of time is basically spent in cultivation alone, and he spends less time with Guixie.

  This is because there are no tasks to do at ordinary times. As long as it is not a task period, everyone does not like to stay with others, but chooses to spend it alone.

   Entering the tower, the sound of the rain outside became quieter in my ears.

  The hard and cool-colored floor makes people feel less warm.

  Headed towards the top of the tower, did not meet anyone else on the road, and walked to the top of the tower very smoothly.

  According to Kisame's description, this high tower is said to be the residence of Sansho Hanzo, the leader of Yuyin in the past.

  It has always been a symbol of Yuyin, but now it is taken over by Akatsuki's leader Nagato, and there is an area in it that is used as Akatsuki's meeting room.

   "The one who wiped out the Uchiha clan, betrayed Konoha, and joined Akatsuki, is that a brat like you? I can't tell at all."

  A voice sounded suddenly.

  Itachi stopped, his eyes shifted back, and he focused slightly.

  A handsome man with white hair stood behind him at some point and said those words.

  The appearance of the other party is very young, but the temperament does not look like a youth at all, but looks old-fashioned.

  Blink's speed is very fast, but Itachi is not afraid. If it's just this speed, with his own skills, he can completely see through it with Sharingan and respond quickly.

  Although he is proficient in ninjutsu and illusion, his physical training has not fallen behind, but has become more and more sophisticated.

   "Hey, don't bully newcomers as soon as you come here."

   Kisame came over and stopped between the two of them. At the same time, he explained to Itachi: "This one, like you, is the S-class fugitive Beiruhu from Konoha. Be careful, he likes hunting blood successor limit ninja very much. And he has five kinds of blood succession limit boundaries. If you are not careful, you will die."

   Kisame didn't realize it at all, and directly exposed Beiliuhu's old background.

   Bei Liuhu heard Kisame reminding Itachi to expose some of his abilities, but he didn't care, just shrugged.

   "Don't worry, Sharingan is no longer my hunting category. Compared with Sharingan, Baiyan is my preferred target."

  Beliuhu said so.

   "Blind eyes..."

   "I'm just here to see what it's like to be able to destroy the Uchiha clan... In general, please give me your advice."

   "Please give me more advice."

  Itachi also simply replied.

  It seems that this 'senior' seems to be the type that is not too difficult to get along with.

   And it comes from Konoha, Beiruhu... This name, Itachi remembers seeing it in Anbe's file before.

  At the same time as Sannin, but due to lack of talent, he embarked on the evil path of using human experiments to develop forbidden techniques, and became Konoha's rebellious ninja.

  Then the three of them walked together and walked to the innermost room.

  Beliuhu stepped forward first, pushed open the door of the room, and entered the room.

  Itachi and Kisame followed suit.

  Nagato stood in front of the window, looking at the rainy scene outside the window.

  Beside him, there was a young woman with blue hair. Itachi remembered that her name was Konan, and she was one of Akatsuki's elder members. She had a very good relationship with the leader Nagato, and the two were almost inseparable.

  The other person made Itachi's expression change slightly.

  He saw an acquaintance.

   "Ah, long time no see, Itachi-kun. I didn't expect that you, who left Konoha, would actually come here. When I first heard about it from the leader, I couldn't believe it."

  The gloomy laughter sounded, reminiscent of some not so good things.

  Purple eye shadows, snake-like cold-blooded vertical pupils, and the corners of the mouth are wide open, completely unlike actions that humans can make.

   In other words, the other party is not human at all.

   "Long time no see, Oshemaru-senpai."

  Itachi nodded and greeted Orochimaru.

  A disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Third Hokage, one of the legendary Sannin... The reason for his defection is very similar to that of Beiruho. He deviates from the village in order to pursue the evil forbidden technique, which is a dangerous existence without the bottom line of humanity.

  People like this were also absorbed, and Itachi felt more and more the fear and danger of the Akatsuki organization.

  For Konoha, it is not a good thing that such a terrorist organization is lurking in the dark.

  Especially the agreement between him and Madara, I don't know how far it can be maintained, and now we can only take one step at a time.

  He has no ability to limit Akatsuki.

  Anyone who takes it out is worth his headache.

   Not to mention, Nagato, the leader who can overwhelm all dangers and rebels, is firmly in the top position.

   "Since you appear here, it means that you have been abandoned by Danzo. Sure enough, my guess in the past was correct."

   Orochimaru smiled meaningfully.

  He realized Danzo's surveillance of Itachi a long time ago.

   It can be seen that Danzang is hiding on Itachi, definitely plotting something.

   Now, the Uchiha clan has been exterminated, and Itachi defected to the village. What role did Konoha's high-level officials play in this operation? The smile on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth is even more intriguing.

   What a pathetic puppet. Orochimaru looked at Itachi's slightly immature face and thought to himself.

  Let such a child shoulder the mission of exterminating the genocide, to shirk away all the crimes... Orochimaru sighed softly.

  Konoha, it really isn't the same Konoha as before.

  Hokage is no longer the previous Hokage.

  Only things are right and people are wrong.

  Itachi's experience made him more determined that his choice to leave Konoha was correct.

   "Senior Orochimaru, don't get the priorities wrong. Anyway, I abandoned Danzo in order to gain stronger power. This is the inevitable result. Konoha and the clan cannot be a place to measure my strength, that's all."

  Itachi responded unhurriedly, and said it as a matter of course.

   Orochimaru smiled without saying a word.

   What a brat full of lies and falsehoods.

   To some extent, it is really naive enough.

  Because of this, Danzo will be regarded as a "sharp blade" to destroy Uchiha.

  A family with a glorious history has come to an end in Konoha.

  Scorpion, who was in the same group as Orochimaru, just glanced at Itachi lightly, and then turned his eyes away.

  I don't have the time to argue with a brat.

  And he has serious doubts about the fact that the other party can destroy the Uchiha clan by himself.

  As the famous Uchiha clan, there are definitely many Junin. Even if it is a surprise attack, it is undoubtedly a dream to exterminate the clan with one person's power.

  Combined with Orochimaru's tone just now, it seems that this involves some political disputes within Konoha, which makes Scorpio feel even more boring.

   "Alright, now that everyone has arrived, let's start the meeting officially."

  Finally, Nagato spoke, ending everyone's chat and letting them return to the topic of the meeting.

   Meet new companions, there will be plenty of time afterwards.

  After hearing what Nagato said, everyone except Scorpio sat down around the rectangular conference table, and Nagato was naturally at the main seat.

  The reincarnated eyes that have lost their emotions are like projections from the sight of gods, which puts a lot of pressure on people.

  Itachi hesitated for a moment and asked: "I just heard from Kisame that a big event happened outside. Was the meeting held because of this so-called big event?"

   After Itachi finished speaking, Orochimaru laughed and replied: "It seems that You, Itachi-kun, don't know anything at the base. The outside world has already been turned upside down. The impact of the matter is even more shocking than that of You, Itachi-kun, who exterminated and defected. I also didn't expect that since the third Ninja World War, the kingdom of ghosts, which has been in a period of rapid development, will be dominated by them behind the scenes."

"them?"

   Itachi keenly caught the key words.

   "The kingdom of ghosts has officially declared war on the kingdom of the wind. Not only that, the signature of the declaration of war from the kingdom of ghosts to the kingdom of the wind is Chiba Shiraishi. Itachi-kun, you know what this means."

  Chiba Shiraishi?

  Hearing this name, Itachi's expression froze.

  Nagato glanced at Itachi, and said instead of Orochimaru: "As Orochimaru said, Chiba Shiraishi, Uchiha Ruri, and Hinata Ayane are behind the scenes of the Oni Nation. Not long ago, the reinforcements led by the fourth Kazekage suffered heavy losses under the attack of Uchiha Ruri. Now Sand Yin is planning to mobilize more troops to fight the Oni Nation."

   Another familiar name.

   And he is also a member of the Uchiha clan.

  Although when the opponent left Konoha, he had been completely removed by Konoha's Uchiha.

   Itachi felt unbelievable, but there was still a look of indifference on his face, making it impossible to see the flaws.

   I just feel that a group of rebels are manipulating small countries behind the scenes and declaring war on big countries. Regardless of the outcome, the end of the war... will only bring countless pains to mankind.

   For the word war, Itachi felt rejection from the bottom of his heart.

   "I don't know how long this war will last. If it fails, it will spread the war to other countries, which will trigger the fourth ninja world war."

   Orochimaru speculates so.

   "Maybe it will bring the chaos of war to the Land of Rain... Leader, what do we need to prepare next?"

  Beliu called out and asked.

  War broke out between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind, and there is a high probability that the Kingdom of Rain will be involved.

  Akatsuki's headquarters is in the Land of Rain. If the Land of Rain is forced to get involved in such a battlefield, Akatsuki's actions will inevitably be hindered.

   "No, since Qianye Baishi intends to make a move, he must have already made sufficient preparations and will firmly control the situation on the battlefield in his own hands. Qianye Baishi will only make a move if he is fully in control. He is that kind of man."

  Nagato thought for a moment, then shook his head, with a look of thorough understanding of Shiraishi.

   "The next arrangement is..."

   Orochimaru looked at Nagato.

   "Well, how should I put it, there is something that needs your assistance."

  Nagato looked solemn.

"What's up?"

   Scorpion asked very interestedly.

  The strength of Nagato has always been a mystery among Akatsuki. Everyone only knows that he is very strong, and may even be stronger than all Akatsuki members combined.

   It must not be a simple matter for him to ask for assistance.

"Come with me."

  Nagato glanced at everyone, and took the lead to walk outside the meeting room.

   "It's really mysterious."

  Beliuhu said in a low voice.

   "Probably that thing."

   Orochimaru laughed as if realizing something.

   "That thing... Orochimaru, do you know what it is?"

  Beliuhu was a little surprised.

   Itachi and Kisame also looked at Orochimaru, very interested in the 'that thing' that Orochimaru said.

   Scorpion said: "This rotten snake has studied the spell-seal technique very deeply. It just so happens that the leader is also very interested in his spell-seal technique, and wants to create a completely spell-sealed ninja troop. Although he is a bit reluctant, this rotten snake is the guy closest to the leader except for Xiaonan. It is reasonable to know some things we don't know in advance."

   "Can I call this jealousy, Scorpio?"

   Orochimaru smiled teasingly.

   "Shut up or I'll kill you!"

   Scorpion's eyes are cold, and his vocal cords are hoarse and impatient.

   At the bottom of the tower is a huge space that is completely vacuum.

   It is impossible to imagine that such a magnificent 'secret room' is hidden under the tower.

  There are candles burning on the surrounding walls, which can be used for lighting.

  A huge half-length human figure protrudes from the ground, its color and body are like dead wood, and many pillar-shaped objects stand behind it, hideous and terrifying.

  Human beings are as small as bugs in front of it.

  The aura was long and deep, and everyone stared at this huge dead wood figure with different thoughts.

  In front of the huge dead wood figure, besides Nagato and Konan, there is also a half-black and half-white yin and yang face—Heiheijue standing there, waiting for everyone to arrive.

"This is…"

   Guixia frowned. This kind of dead wood-like humanoid monster gave him a very dangerous feeling.

   "The outsider golem is also the container I use to seal the tailed beast."

  Nagato did not hide anything, and told everyone the answer.

   "Is this the one?"

  Xie and the others looked up, thoughtful.

  Although Nagato told them before that, the purpose of the organization is to collect tailed beasts.

  However, how to collect them, and what to do with them if you catch them, are not explained in detail.

   Now that they saw the heretic golem, the doubts in their hearts were solved.

   It's just such a thing, can it really be used to seal the tailed beast?

  "The golem had been in a damaged state before, but after I repaired it for a period of time, it finally recovered a little function. But now it still lacks some energy to operate. I hope that I can borrow your chakra to temporarily restore some vitality to the golem. In this way, excellent 'soldiers' can be cultivated in advance."

   Nagato said so.

  When referring to "excellent soldiers", the corners of Orochimaru's mouth split open like a snake.

  The door creaked open.

  The old man sitting in the interrogation room woke up from his lethargy after hearing the noise, opened his eyes, and revealed a pair of Sharingan, shining red light.

  The person who came was a man with a gloomy and dark aura all over his body.

   On his face, there are deep wrinkles that have been refined over time.

  The forehead and the right half of the face are wrapped in bandages, and the right arm is also wrapped in bandages, and placed in front of it.

   Walking step by step with a cane in his left hand, his seemingly slow movements, each step is very calm and capable.

  Although he is over fifty, approaching sixty, his hair is still black in color, and there is not a single white hair in it.

  The root leader—Shimura Danzo.

   "Why, did you come here to laugh at me specifically to show off your victory?"

  The old man with sharing eyes asked, with a flat expression, he raised his head and looked at Danzo.

  Danzo was silent for a while, and said: "No, this time the root failed. Not only did it fail to achieve the expected effect, but on the night Itachi did it, thirty-seven Uchiha children disappeared."

  Sharingan old man—Uchiha Sifang thought for a while, then realized something, and snorted softly.

   "That idiot Lihuo is doing meaningless things all the time. Obviously, as long as he leaves and hides his name, it will be fine. In this way, he is already dead."

  Facing Uchiha Sifang's unnutritious reprimand, Danzo just took a light breath and looked at Uchiha Sifang seriously.

   "Not long ago, the kingdom of ghosts declared war on the kingdom of wind... Do you understand what this means?"

  If Danzo was still entangled before, how did Uchiha Lihuo escape from Konoha Village and leave Konoha with thirty-seven Uchiha children, now...he has understood.

   Also knew where Uchiha Lihuo had arranged for those thirty-seven children to go.

  Hearing what Danzo said, Uchiha Siyi understood that the other party came to verify an answer.

   "Has the action already started? I knew that those young people would not be willing to be lonely."

  Uchiha Sifang had a smile on his face. From Danzo's point of view, this was undoubtedly a contempt and ridicule of Konoha, although the other party did not mean to mock, but simply stated his own point of view.

   "Sure enough, when Uchiha Ruri defected, you retired and lived in seclusion in order to push Uchiha Fugaku to the front of the stage and attract attention. The Uchiha who stayed in Konoha is the one you chose."

   Danzo's face was stern, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm down the restlessness in his heart.

   "Abandoned son?" Uchiha Sifang and Danzo looked at each other seriously, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "If the Uchiha clan is powerful enough, why should I cut off my own arm and just let Liuli and the others go? This is all because of lack of strength. In the end, it was caused by my incompetence, because I have no ability to save more clansmen, so I can only make Fuyue an abandoned son."

   It's ridiculous to say.

  With the establishment of the one country, one village system, the power of the Uchiha clan has not improved compared to the Warring States period, but has declined very seriously.

  Konoha and the country of fire's conservative foreign policy is the key to encountering enemies everywhere.

  Wars broke out again and again, and the ninjas of the Uchiha clan stood at the forefront and sacrificed terribly. Every time a war broke out, the strength of the family would be reduced.

  The Uchiha clan who paid such a price will still be excluded by the village. The clan people naively think that as long as Hokage appears in the clan, everything will be changed at that time, and the clan will be among the core of Konoha.

  However, in the eyes of Uchiha Sifang, it is just a beautiful and cruel illusion.

  Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, in the village of Konoha, there is no living soil for the Uchiha clan.

   This is the reason why the Uchiha Quartet insisted on letting some of the tribe go away.

  Senju's love will only make him sick, and make the Uchiha people who have lost their subjective consciousness fall into innocent fantasies, and finally die of this ridiculous fantasy.

  The love of thousands of hands beamed high on a castle in the air, that is by no means something that humans can understand, it is so beautiful.

  All illusory love that deviates from reality is worthy of doubt and opposition.

   "You know? It's often some beautiful vision that leads people to hell."

  Uchiha Sifang sighed.

  His plan was imperfect and brutal.

  If it is said that Uchiha Itachi became the butcher's knife waved towards Uchiha in the hands of others, then the one who abandoned so many people in Konoha is also Uchiha's sinner.

  He has no ability to save all the clansmen.

   He's just a remnant of an old time.

   "The blood and tears of the Uchiha clan have already been shed. Now you can no longer use the so-called will of fire to restrain Uchiha's 'power'. Uchiha's revenge will come sooner or later."

  Uchiha Quartet looked at Danzo without fear.

  The opponent's eyes were full of gloom, revealing a cold killing intent.

   "Why, do you want to kill me with this expression? Then, do it quickly. You must have obtained a lot of Sharingan from those Uchiha ninjas. You, who covet Uchiha's power, can't do that. My Sharingan also has the value of being collected by you...No, maybe for you, my Sharingan has a more special meaning."

  Uchiha Sifang's mouth curled up, looking at Danzo's face that gradually became flustered and terrified, a weird smile appeared on his face.

   "Because these are the eyes of your friend, Uchiha mirror."
