Chapter 41: Chasing and intercepting (Part 1)

 The time came when Uchiha Itachi and Shisui left Fortress No. 14.

Each of them carried a Root Ninja and ran wildly through the rainforest, with violent sirens wailing behind them, like a woman who had lost her child crying for help.

"Shisui, where are we going now?"

Itachi's face looked very unhappy, as if he was thinking about something incomprehensible in his heart.

The two legs of the root ninja codenamed "Shen" on his shoulders have been broken at the knees.

The female ninja codenamed "Shou" was directly knocked down by Shisui using genjutsu.

Before Shisui showed up, Itachi Uchiha had already obtained the important document detailing the poison sac transplantation experiment.

Chou was not with them at the time. When Shen left Sanshouyu Koga's office, he "accidentally" detonated the detonating charm at the door. His legs were pinned by the collapsed wall, and an alarm went off.

Although Itachi was a little dissatisfied that Shen, as an ANBU, would make such a low-level mistake, because it was the first time he encountered such a thing, he was still so nervous that he didn't know what to do. To save Shen, it was only Itachi's own strength.

Far from enough.

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

Amidst the blaring sirens, Shen said this to Itachi at that time.

"The life of a ninja has no meaning, the important thing is how he dies.

"For Konoha, for the village, and for no war between the two countries, you must do this."

Itachi, who was still very young, was somewhat moved by this spirit of sacrifice in a situation where he had no time to think too much, and he also had some changes in his view of the ninjas of the Root Organization.

However, just when he was about to fulfill the wish of this admirable senior and put the kunai on the opponent's neck, Shisui appeared and interrupted his next action with a shuriken.

But when Shen saw Shisui, not only was there no surprise of "being saved", but his expression became extremely gloomy.

He pushed Itachi away, took out a detonating talisman and was about to commit suicide, as if he didn't even want to leave the body for the rain ninja. Unexpectedly, Shisui used the teleportation technique and the ninja sword to cut off the buried legs.

, pulled out from the center of the explosion.

The room was ravaged by two explosive talismans, causing even the floor to collapse.

After Zhisui rescued Shen, he immediately knocked him down with a genjutsu, and then ran away with Itachi, knocking him down again along the way.

But until now, they have left the fortress, and Shisui still has no explanation——

Why does he appear in the Kingdom of Rain?

Why did he cast a genjutsu on the root ninja?

Why did the root ninja commit suicide when he saw him?

Everything suddenly became confusing.

Itachi needed an answer now.

"Yiyong and I have made an agreement to meet at a hideout near the Land of Fire tomorrow at the latest. We took a short rest there when we came here."

Shisui simply said: "Let's go over there now."

"Giyu is here too?!"

Itachi exclaimed slightly and frowned, "You brought him to the Land of Rain?"

"A big event happened in the village. Uchiha Yanhuo disappeared. The clues point to the Land of Rain. We are here to investigate this matter."

Zhisui replied, "Bringing Yiyong here is just in case. Specifically, I will explain it to you in detail when I get back."

Having said this, he turned his head while galloping, and looked at Itachi with a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes.

A cartoon dialog box with words floating quietly in Itachi's sight. It was the illusion of the Sharingan.

【I may be under surveillance, let’s talk about it when I get back.】

Itachi was shocked in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He just nodded lightly.

Shisui also looked back with relief.

He had been suspicious of being monitored since he easily found Uchiha Enhuo's body in Amegakure Village.

If the illusion had not been broken before, he might have believed that it was the Kingdom of Rain.

But if you think about it carefully, even Hanzo was upset by the rebels in the Rain Country. How could a mere jounin like Sanshou Yukoga dare to attack a powerful ninja at this juncture?

And even if he did it, why not experiment with the flames in this fortress? Wouldn't it be easier to be discovered by Sansho Hanzo himself in the Hidden Rain Village?

The more Zhisui thought about it, the more something was wrong. He just felt that he had encountered a huge conspiracy.

If the other party intended for him to discover Yan Huo's body, it meant that his secret sneaking into Yuyin Village had been discovered and used long ago, but he knew nothing about the other party.

[Is it a powerful sentient ninja, or a time and space ninjutsu? 】

He couldn't make up his mind now, so he had no choice but to follow the other party's script——

After finding the body, he found the "murderer", left the Country of Rain, and quickly returned to the village to recover and solve the misunderstanding between the village and Uchiha.

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

At this moment, the alarm bell behind them suddenly disappeared, replaced by a tiger's roar that they had never heard before.

"This is……"

The two Uchiha turned their heads at the same time, with strange colors on their faces.

"This fire escape..."

"It's not an Uchiha technique."

If you look at it from a distance with the Sharingan, you can tell that the tiger is not a psychic beast, but is entirely composed of violently burning chakra.

The fire attribute chakra can maintain the appearance of animals, so lifelike, and it also has the high temperature to melt rocks, which means a very profound level of fire attribute changes in properties and form changes.

At least not the two of them can do it.

"In the end what happened?"

Itachi frowned, things were becoming more and more confusing.

"Don't worry, the further away we are from that the better."

Shisui shook his head.

Although the alarm bell is sharp, its spread range is small.

On the contrary, although the roar of a beast is low, the range of sound propagation is much farther.

"Such an obvious technique, even the rain ninjas around here will notice it.

"We continue to stay here. Once our identity is exposed, the Kingdom of Rain will certainly not go to war with Konoha, but it is hard to say whether other major powers will make a fuss about this matter.

"My crow has already gone to find Yiyong. When he comes back, we will leave the Kingdom of Rain immediately."

Itachi nodded, temporarily suppressing all the doubts in his heart, and followed Shisui as he galloped towards the east of the fortress.



at the same time.

Purgatory Anjuro made a few big jumps and climbed up the wall that had been melted and then re-solidified, and finally came to the place where the giant flame tiger disappeared. And behind him, there was an additional one in the four-story fortress originally made of hard stone.

The deep and wide patio was burned out by the tiger as it charged upward.

The chakra composition of Giyuu is different from that of ordinary chakra ninjas. It is not surprising to have such a terrifying temperature.

"What an incredible feat! Your Excellency Shuizhu!"

In the heavy rain, Purgatory Anjuro, wearing an ordinary yukata, sincerely admired.

"Even Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan will be reduced to ashes under this blow!"

This dress was the one he wore after his resurrection. A messenger crow poked its head out from the inner lining, its orange eyes curiously looking at the new world.

"Don't call me that..."

Yiyong's voice was weak, and he didn't really have much chakra in his body.

After unleashing the "Breath of Fire·Fifth Type·Fire Tiger" with all his strength, he didn't even have the strength to stand. What's more, with the condition of his knees, once he got out of the emergency state before, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Live your own body.

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

At this time, Giyuu, who was covered in blood, was being hugged by Anjuro to his chest like a princess.

A blue chakra tie slipped out from his lowered hand, pulling seven semi-floating bubbles. The children who had narrowly escaped death were sleeping quietly inside, and they seemed to be breathing steadily.

.

This is a modified version of the water prison technique of the Second Hokage, subverting the purpose of the technique itself to imprison others and drown them.

Judging from the purpose of this technique, it was probably used by the Second Hokage when he rescued his own people who were accidentally injured by him from the water.

But no matter what, the current Yiyong looks like a child who was hugged by his brother after being tired from playing in the park, with seven balloons in his hand, full of weirdness.

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

Yanzhu righteously rejected Yiyong's request.

"From now on, Mr. Shuizhu, please rest. I will do everything possible to take these children out and find a doctor for you!"

"Just call your name..."

Yiyong's voice became weaker and weaker, and the gaps in his eyes became smaller and smaller.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders! Giyong! You can also call me Anjuro!"

Giyuu, who was about to fall into darkness, was shouted out again. He knew that this was Anjuro's way of keeping him awake, and it was not the time to fall asleep yet.

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

"I see!"

Purgatory Anjuro reached out and touched the blue chakra lace, gathered the "balloons" behind him, and then looked at the courtyard of the fortress.

He saw more than twenty fallen rain ninjas in the courtyard. Some had one or two shurikens stuck in their bodies, and some had no wounds at all. Their bodies were still rising and falling slightly. They fainted for unknown reasons.

land.

It seems that these are the things that Yiyong said before that triggered the alarm.

"It's such a cruel area, it makes people unhappy at all!"

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

But thanks to those people who knocked down the rain ninjas in the courtyard, otherwise they would be in great trouble now.

Xing Juro's eyes turned to the other side, and finally stopped on the hay shed of the stable. Several black oilcloth carriages were parked there, and they could be driven out as long as they were put on the reins.

"Great! Want it!"

He called out a name, and the messenger crow immediately emerged from the lining of his clothes, fluttered its wings and flew to his shoulder.

With the character of Purgatory Anjuro, he would not worry about why his messenger crow appeared in this place.

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

"Lord Flame Pillar!"

"Go around and find a way out of here, and come over here to find some food!"

"clear!"

The messenger crow immediately took off, charged to higher ground, circled in the rain, and disappeared in a dive.

After Anjuro found a suitable place to land, he held the breath of fire and jumped from the top of the four-story fortress. Seven "balloons" followed him straight down like tails and landed on the ground.

After that, the surrounding rain splashed everywhere, staining Anjurou's yukata, but it didn't splash on Giyuu at all.

"It's time to come out!"

Anjuro walked to the side of the carriage, popped all the bubbles with his fingers, and put the children in order of height into the hood covered by the oilcloth, with Giyong placed outside.

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

"Lord Yanzhu! This fortress has only one exit, which is two heavy iron doors. I didn't find the location of the switch!"

"It doesn't matter."

Anjuro clenched his fists, very confident in the strength of his body.

He took a bite of the bread and said, "It's delicious!"

He straightened Yiyong's body and said, "Yiyong! Eat something to stay awake!"

Then he looked at Xin Ya: "Yes, are there any ninjas around the gate?"

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

"Thanks a lot!"

Purgatory Anjuro said as he pulled the horse's reins: "Giyuu is left to you, we must not let him sleep!"

"yes!"



Outside the fortress.

The two rain ninjas who had previously released the Yiyong and the homeless leader 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 happened.

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

"Well, what's this noise?"

The rain ninja, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a spear, listened attentively, "Is that the sound of horse hooves?"

"Someone should be going out."

"But the person who opened the door upstairs isn't here either..."

While the two were talking, they heard a loud "bang" and saw a huge bulge suddenly appear on the 20-centimeter-thick iron door.

The two men picked up their weapons and stood in front of the door, listening to the second and third impact with worry, their bodies trembling along with the door, keeping in sync.

By the fourth time, the right one of the two gates was knocked out like a card thrown by a magician with a flick of his wrist. The air flow kicked up swept away the hats of the two rain ninjas, and then

I heard the sound of the iron door slamming to the ground a few meters behind the two of them.

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 shoulders.

Behind him, a black carriage with two horses was parked.

The rain ninja on the left knew that this was an enemy, so he casually took out two shurikens and threw them at them, but Purgatory Anjuro just took a step forward, and the aura overflowed from his body, and the shurikens seemed to have been specially avoided.

He flew to both sides as if driving away, hit the wall and bounced to one side, sliding weakly to the ground.

Before the rain ninja even had time to feel shocked, Purgatory Anjuro appeared in front of the two of them, took the spear in their hands and broke it directly.

"Excuse me!"

Purgatory Anjuro did not mean to continue hurting them, but asked sincerely.

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

The two rain ninjas looked at each other and pointed to the guide in unison.

"Oh! Can we find a doctor in that direction?"

"Twenty kilometers south is... the border between the Country of Rain and the Country of Sichuan. Entering the Country of Sichuan, you can find a doctor after you encounter a town..."

"Thank you very much! Lend me this knife!"

After Anjuro got the answer, he pulled out the saber of one of them, knocked them down and placed them against the wall. Then he immediately got on his horse and pointed towards the south.

"Everyone, sit tight! We're leaving now!"
