Naruto's strongest wooden escape

into the night.

Inside a machiya on the small island of Water Country.

Uchiha Matsuri and Terumi Mei fell asleep early just like the night before.

One or two o'clock in the evening.

While Uchiha Matsuri and Terumi Mei were still sleeping, a dark shadow appeared in front of the window of the machiya.

Whoosh.

In the dark night, a kunai streaked across.After the kunai escaped from the black shadow's hand, it shot straight towards Uchiha Matsuri.

Flutter.

The kunai stabbed into Uchiha Matsuri's chest, killing Uchiha Matsuri almost instantly.

"So simple?" Seeing Uchiha Matsuri's chest being pierced by kunai, Black Shadow said in confusion.

Perhaps because the process of "killing" Uchiha Matsuri was too easy, Black Shadow even doubted his own eyes now.

call.

Just when Black Shadow was still doubting whether Uchiha Matsuri was dead, a fireball suddenly appeared behind Black Shadow.

"Sure enough, it's not a simple matter." Black Shadow muttered softly.

After saying that, the black shadow flashed quickly and fled towards the depths of the rain forest far away from the hometown of the Ghost Lantern clan.

"Want to escape?" Uchiha Matsuri activated his Earthly Power and chased the black shadow in the direction it was escaping.

ten minutes later.

Uchiha Matsuri's figure appeared next to the machiya again.

"Matsura, what just happened?" Terumi Mei rushed out of the room and asked worriedly.

Uchiha Matsuri's "Go Fire Ball" not only allowed Uchiha Matsuri to see clearly the characteristics of the black figure (slender body, about 170 cm tall, wearing Kirigakure costumes, and wearing the white and black mask of Kirigakure Anbu) , and woke up Terumi Mei who was sleeping soundly.

"That black shadow finally appeared." Uchiha Matsuri said slowly with a solemn expression, "Unfortunately, his escape ability is very strong, I didn't catch him just now, and he wore the Kirigakure Anbu's mask, I didn't see his face at all..."

Although Uchiha Matsuri used "Earth" during the chase, what Uchiha Matsuri didn't expect was that he actually lost the target during the chase.

Although Uchiha Matsuri did not catch up with the black shadow, the appearance of this black shadow still answered some of Uchiha Matsuri's questions.

First of all, this black shadow is not a ghost, but a person who can throw kunai, and this person has a strong ability to escape and avoid enemy tracking.

Since we are human beings, we will have weaknesses and shortcomings.

Uchiha Matsuri believed more and more that if he had a duel with him, he would be confident enough to defeat him.

Secondly, the assassination target of this black shadow is himself, not Terumi Mei.

Black Shadow could have thrown two kunai at the same time to assassinate himself and Terumi Mei at the same time, but Black Shadow did not do so, indicating that Black Shadow's target seemed to be only himself.

But his identity has never been leaked. Who is the black shadow, and why does he keep pretending to be a ghost and choose to come to assassinate him in the middle of the night?

Finally, the black shadow is most likely from Kirigakure Village.

By the light of the fireball, Uchiha Matsuri discovered that the shadow was wearing the ninja uniform of Kirigakure Village and the mask of the ANBU of Kirigakure Village.

Based on this, Uchiha Matsuri guessed that the black shadow was most likely a ninja from the ANBU of Kirigakure Village.

Combined with the second question, Uchiha Matsuri gradually targeted Bai Zetsu and Uchiha Obito, who already knew their identities.

"Is it possible that they are the ones responsible?" Uchiha Matsuri

Inner secret.

According to Uchiha Matsuri's speculation, because he has the information that "the fourth generation Mizukage Yagura is controlled by a masked man", Uchiha Obito is very likely to send someone to assassinate him and silence him.

But there is still one thing that doesn't make sense, and that is why Uchiha Obito just sent a ninja who didn't look very powerful to assassinate him.

It stands to reason that for a master like himself, not to mention sending dozens of elite Jonin level people to assassinate him, Uchiha Matsuri would not be surprised if Uchiha Obito came to fight him personally.

However, now, if this black shadow is really someone sent by Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Obito would look down on himself too much.

"If it wasn't them, who would it be?" Uchiha Matsuri shook his head and continued thinking.

the other side.

After hearing what Uchiha Matsuri said, Terumi Mei was confused.

"Black shadow? What dark shadow?" Terumi Mei asked doubtfully.

Compared to the Uchiha Festival, Terumi Mei just felt that the environment of the Ghost Light July Machiya and the hometown of the Ghost Light clan was more gloomy.

On the other hand, Uchiha Matsuri really felt that there was a dark shadow controlling something secretly.

"This matter starts from the Machiya in Ghost Light July..." Uchiha Matsuri briefly talked about his experiences and feelings.

After hearing what Uchiha Matsuri said, Terumi Mei's expression gradually became serious.

"You mean, that black shadow has been following us since the teacher's machiya?" Terumi Mei said with a solemn expression.

If it is true as Uchiha Matsuri said, Uchiha Matsuri seems to have been targeted by someone, and his life may be in danger at any time.

Moreover, this black shadow seems to be very capable of escaping and hiding. Even if Uchiha Matsuri, who possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, takes action himself, he only returns empty-handed.

"I'm afraid that's the case." Uchiha Matsuri nodded, "Although when I came to the island, I used my Mangekyo Sharingan to scan the island and found that no one lived on the island. But this black shadow is very likely It was this island we came to after us.”

Although the perception ability of the Sharingan is not as good as the Byakugan, the perception ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan is only slightly weaker than the Byakugan in theory.

Considering that the island is not very large, Uchiha Matsuri did not have any doubts about the results of his previous perception.

"Masatsu, otherwise, let's go back first. It's not too late to put the search for 'Mist Water Kudzu' aside..." Terumi Mei said with a worried look.

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.

Unless they leave this uninhabited island, the two of them will definitely encounter a second attack from the black shadow.

"No." Uchiha Matsuri rejected Terumi Mei's request. "The matter of 'Misty Kudzu' cannot be delayed any longer. I must find it within these days."

Turning to look at Terumi Mei, Uchiha Matsuri's tone became much more relaxed: "If you are scared, you can go to the Smoke Hidden Village first. When I find the 'Mist Water Kudzu', I will go back."

Although Kurokage's purpose is not Terumi Mei, but with Uchiha Matsuri, Terumi Mei will inevitably be implicated by him, and his personal safety will also be threatened to a certain extent.

Since his actions would implicate Terumi Mei, Uchiha Matsuri simply asked Terumi Mei to leave him to save himself this inner burden.

"I won't leave." After hearing what Uchiha Matsuri said, Terumi Mei said firmly, "Since we are already a team, how could I abandon you and leave alone..."

"What's more..." Terumi Mei said with a smile on her lips, "No one will disturb us here."
