Naruto and Shadow

“who?”

After noticing Hino Hikaru’s eyes, Uchiha Shisui also looked at the forest behind him – someone was approaching here quickly.

Wow!

A blue figure emerged from the dense forest.

No, it should be said that it was being It flew out

“hateful……” thump!

The figure flew out of the forest and fell heavily to the ground, and its body even shoveled a mud puddle due to its inertia.

“Unexpectedly, I still can’t escape………”

The person lying on the ground showed a look of despair and sadness.

Not only did he fail to escape from the ninjas of Yuyin Village, but his father also……

“There’s no way out for you, you brat!”

Huh…huh…

Along with the flying figure, there were three ninjas wearing forehead protectors from Kirigakure who walked out of the forest.

They seemed to be chasing the fallen ninja.

And he seemed very tired.

“This guy can really run.……”

“Wait, are these reinforcements from Konoha? Or are we being ambushed?”

The three ninjas from Kirigakure Village quickly noticed Uchiha Shisui and Hino Hikaru not far away.

Then they all made alert postures to confront the enemy.

“Metkai?”

Wearing green tights, watermelon hair and thick eyebrows, although he looks very young, there is no doubt that the hunted ninja should be Metkai.

Hino Hikaru did not expect that this guy would suddenly appear from the forest.

However… although Metkai’s appearance was an accident, Hino Hikaru still noticed a certain black shadow flashing not far away.

His perception was correct. They had been followed since they left the village..

It’s just that the other party is very vigilant and has always controlled the distance and never approached them.

Until just now.

But now because of the appearance of Metkai, the person following them has disappeared again.

“Hino?”

Meitkay, who was feeling dejected and preparing to face death, then noticed the two people behind him.

“And the Uchiha clan……”

“My name is Uchiha Shisui.”

Uchiha Shisui helped the scarred Metkai from the ground.

“Shisui? Are you Shunshen Shisui?”

After realizing that the ninja from the same village in front of him was a very powerful ninja, Metkai suddenly cheered up.

“Shisui? Could it be that Shunshen Shisui?”

“No way, how could a guy like that appear in such a ghost place?”

“However, he does have the emblem of the Uchiha clan on his body, so there should be nothing wrong with it.”

The three Kirigakure ninjas who came here after Metkai have obviously heard of Uchiha Shisui, so they who had already thought of quitting are now even more frightened.

“It seems that they are not here for the tailed beasts.”

Hino Hikaru gave up observing the strength of the three chunin in front of the Kirigakure ninjas, and then looked back at Kushina and others who were still looking for the Three-Tails on the lake.

There was nothing unusual.

However, the people in Kirigakure Village did not seem to be Don’t you value this place?

It was said that Kirigakure Village is also looking for the Three-Tails?

Why are there only three ordinary Kiri-nins?

Speaking of which…the traces I saw by the lake before were also left by people from long ago.

The Three-Tails are really Are you still in this big lake?

Because the enemies that appeared were too weak, Hino Hikaru couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious.

“They are running away.”

Uchiha Shisui took out several shurikens from his ninja bag.

“Do you want to keep them?”

“Well, although it is unlikely that they know the information about Sanwei, they should arrest him and ask him.”

Hino Hikaru also pulled out the ninja sword from behind, but he didn’t take action immediately.

Because Uchiha Shisui had already activated the ninjutsu when he nodded.

Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!

Throw it out The shurikens, along with the flames of the Hosen Fire Jutsu, mixed with the scorching heat, hit the three Kirigakure village chunin who had turned around and were running away into the forest.

“ah!!!”

A ninja who had no time to dodge was burned into a ball of fire by the flaming shuriken.

“Damn it, if that’s the case……”

Water escape·water bullet!

The other two ninjas worked together to use water escape, and the water bullets they spat out barely resisted the fire shuriken thrown by Uchiha Shisui.

But at the same time, in the vapor evaporated by water and fire, Uchiha Shisui had unknowingly arrived behind the two ninjas

“Shadow clone?”

Obviously Uchiha Shisui in front of him didn’t move at all, but the silhouettes of each other appeared behind the two Mist ninjas at the same time.

The two realized almost at the same time that the figures appearing behind them should be clones, and they were also shadow clones with entities..Because the long knife in the clone’s hand has pierced their bodies

“So fast……”

After leaving these last words, the two fog ninjas fell to the ground one after another with horror on their faces, unable to get up again.

“Okay, so awesome……”

Metkai couldn’t help but praise.

At the same time, there was some hope in his eyes.

If it was Shunshen Shisui, maybe, maybe his father could still be alive…maybe there was still hope of survival?

Although he knows that the probability of this is very low, Metkay has no other choice now.

“Please, my father is fighting Kirikage’s Seven Ninja Swordsmen in order to save me and my companions. Please… No, please save him!”

Metkay, who was only twelve years old, was already kneeling on the ground and shed tears.

If Shunshen Shisui was there, he should be able to save his father, as long as his father has not reached the eighth door of death.……

“Seven Ninja Swordsmen? Is your father resisting them alone?”

Uchiha Shisui remembered that the other party’s father seemed to be just a genin.

“Yes, we were accidentally surrounded by each other, and it was my father who arrived in time to save me.”

Metka wiped his tears.

“I know this will put you in danger, but I have no other choice……”

“It doesn’t matter, companions in the village should help each other.”

Uchiha Shisui didn’t intend to refuse.

In other words, Metkai’s arrival just gave him a reason to leave Kushina’s team.

“……”

Has the plot already reached this point?

Did Metkai’s father still open the Death Door in the Eight Gate Dunjia to deal with Kirikage’s seven Ninja Swordsmen?

Looking at Metkai who knelt down to please Uchiha Shisui, Hino Hikaru couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

“Kirigakure’s seven ninja swordsmen are all powerful jounin. The situation is urgent. Hino, I have to leave here.”

Uchiha Shisui immediately turned back to look at Hino Hikaru next to him after listening to Metkai’s description.

“knew.”

Hino Hikaru glanced at Metkai, who was hopeful and grateful, ready to lead the way.

He had no reason at all to refuse Uchiha Shisui’s departure.

It’s just that……

“Don’t you need my help?”

Under normal circumstances, when rescuing companions, shouldn’t the more help the better?

But Uchiha Shisui wanted to act alone.

Thinking of this, Hino Hikaru deliberately asked

“Hino……”

Metkai looked back at Hino Hikari with emotion.

“Although I’m just an ordinary chuunin, I can still be of some help.”

Hino Hikaru continued to stare at Uchiha Shisui’s face

“Well… I think it would be better for Hino to stay and protect Captain Kushina, and if it’s just to save people, even if they are not as powerful as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, I should be fine with my teleportation technique.”

“Then let Kakashi go with you. His Thunder Release and Psychic Beast are very capable of restraining the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.”

Although what Uchiha Shisui said makes sense, Hino Hikaru has no intention of giving up monitoring Uchiha Shisui.

“I have already informed Kakashi using the clone technique.”

While saying this, a white-haired ninja wearing a mask appeared in front of everyone.

“Kai?”

Kakashi also didn’t expect to meet his good friend Metkai here.

“Kakashi……”

After seeing Kakashi too, Metkai couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Hurry up and set off.”

“Um!”

Hearing Hino Hikari’s urging, Metkai was even more moved.

“……”

Seeing that Kakashi had already come over, Uchiha Shisui could only accept his fate.

“You’re really sharp, but there’s something I have to do.”

Even if Kakashi catches up, he can’t stop him.

The difference between the Mangekyo Sharingan and the ordinary Sharingan is huge.

“Or what do you think I should do?”

After handling Metkai’s request, what he did next was indeed not a good thing.

No… I have never been a good person.

Uchiha Shisui refuted in his mind what Hino Hikaru said before,”Good people do it. bad thing”

“I don’t know what you are going to do, but when you encounter a problem that puts you in a dilemma, my advice is always to solve the person who raised the problem.”

Hikaru Hino was thinking about the possibility of Uchiha Shisui killing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But no matter how he thought about it, the probability seemed to be infinitely close to zero.

“you……”

Uchiha Shisui started to speak but stopped.

He remembered the previous conversations with Hino Hikaru——

‘I won’t do anything bad to you. You don’t need to spy on me.’、‘You should say this to Hokage-sama, right? ‘

The behavior of Hino Hikaru sending people to monitor him is very similar to the behavior of the Third Hokage sending people to monitor the Uchiha clan.

In the final analysis, it was all because of groundless suspicion.

And just this level of suspicion, the life of their Uchiha clan is at stake…

Uchiha Shisui’s mind suddenly flashed back to a time when Danzo’s sudden appearance caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to distrust his eyes.

No, that was just a momentary misunderstanding.

The Third Hokage still trusts me.

Uchiha Shisui shook his head and did not think deeply about Hino Hikari’s words.

He is also afraid that he will really have some”rebellious” thoughts.

——

“Where did Kakashi and that Uchiha Shisui go?”

Because her”adventure” to find the Three-Tails was suddenly interrupted, Kushina, who came back to the shore from the lake, looked quite unhappy.

“And the bodies on the ground……”

Looking at the charred and two blood-stained corpses on the ground, except for Konan who was relatively calm, Kushina and Nohara Rin both looked a little nervous.

“They are the ninjas of Kirigakure Village.”

Hino Hikaru briefly explained what happened just now.

Then he put his hand on the Mist Ninja who was burned into a”black man” by Fire Release.

Although it looked serious, Fire Release could not burn people to death, so this ninja It should be that Uchiha Shisui deliberately left him alive.

But as expected, except for the battle situation on the frontline battlefield, this ninja basically didn’t know anything.

There was no value in extracting information.

“Metkai’s father… let’s go help, too, right?”

After listening to Hino Hikaru’s story, Kushina also quickly expressed her desire to rescue people together.

“It is enough for Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi to go to Metkai, and……”

Hino Hikaru felt that under normal circumstances, during the time when Metkai was on the run, his father would probably have died.

Standing alone against the seven Ninja Swordsmen, it was impossible for Matt Dai to not open the eighth gate of death of the Eight Gate Dunjia.

So letting Kakashi and Shisui follow was just to satisfy Metkai’s inner comfort.

Even, Metkai probably knew that the possibility that his father was still alive was just a fantasy in his heart, just his unwillingness to accept the facts and his final unwillingness.

“And what? And even though I am the captain, you guys act on your own without reporting to me!”

Kushina expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Hino Hikari’s decision to directly agree to Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui’s departure from the team.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but this stinky disciple seems to have been giving orders for this mission. Order.

But she, the real captain, always belatedly realized

“Do you still see me as the captain?”

“No”

���What did you say! ?”

Kushina rubbed her fists with a dark face.

“I mean…Teacher, I have a way to make you stronger. Are you interested in giving it a try?”

It’s actually quite convenient that Uchiha Shisui isn’t here.

Now everyone here is his own, and some things don’t need to be hidden anymore.

Before, because he was in the village, he was still too conservative in his research on abilities and tailed beasts. After a while, I can finally let go and have a big fight.

“What? any solution?”

Hearing this, Kushina quickly put away her fists and then put on an expression of”I’m very curious”

“……”

This woman can flip out faster than she can flip through a book.

However, Hino Hikaru also wanted to know how far his abilities could be combined with the Jinchuuriki.

——

“Lord Danzo, Uchiha Shisui has left the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki and is moving towards the battlefield, but……”

“But what?”

“It seems that our people have been discovered by him just now, so Uchiha Shisui will probably be on guard.”

“Humph, it wouldn’t matter if he found out. Even if he knew he was being followed, he would just think it was Hiruzen’s people following him.”

Danzo severely manipulated Uchiha Shisui’s psychology.

“Continue to follow him and make sure he is really in contact with Uchiha Fugaku”

“yes!”

“But Danzo-sama, do you still need to send people to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?”

“Just send someone to keep an eye on them, don’t get too close to them, remember, our target this time is only the Uchiha clan.”

Now that Uchiha Shisui has left, there is no need to worry about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki being controlled by the Sharingan.

Although Danzo couldn’t understand Sarutobi Hiruzen’s decision to leave the village, he also understood. The current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is not something he can get his hands on.

“Set off!”

Mangekyo Sharingan, Danzo is determined!”

“This time I personally took action. Whoever lets Uchiha Shisui go will be the sinner of Konoha!”
