Chapter 77 The Fated Chain Scythe
"You bastard! You born evil Uchiha brat!"
Having followed Danzo for a long time, the Root ninjas, influenced by what they saw and heard, would all criticize the evil Uchiha clan.
Unfortunately, no matter how loudly they shouted, they couldn't hide their disheveled state.
After the fight, a group of Root ninjas who considered themselves seniors were beaten so badly by a young boy named Uchiha Shisui that they ran away with their heads in their hands.
As an intelligence and assassination unit that emphasizes stealth and mobility, Root ninjas are generally very skilled at using the body-flicker technique.
Unfortunately, this time they encountered a powerful figure who could solidify the name "Instantaneous Movement" into a title!
As soon as they engaged, the Root ninjas scattered, intending to use their speed advantage to hold their opponents back.
The next second, when they turned around, everyone was faced with a cold-faced boy with three tomoe!
In the original story, the Hidden Mist ninja experienced this despair; now it's the Root ninja who have taken their place.
"Damn it! He just appeared and then disappeared again, where is he?"
"How can this Uchiha brat be so fast?"
"Afterimage? A clone? Or an illusion? How did he do that?!"
Uchiha Shisui, all by himself, managed to surround two entire squads of Root ninjas.
At that moment, the layers upon layers of phantoms spoke simultaneously.
"I have no intention of harming my fellow villagers. As long as you give up the idea of going to the Land of Rain, I will not hurt you."
Uchiha Shisui was Uchiha Shisui after all; even at this point, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and he still harbored a trace of reluctance.
However, the Root ninjas continued to cause a ruckus.
"Lord Danzo's orders are absolute! Shisui, are you planning to collude with the Land of Rain and betray Konoha?"
At that moment, Aizen's gentle words of comfort and guidance flashed through Shisui's mind, and the three tomoe in his eyes spun even more wildly!
Aizen is the only partner he has felt a soul connection with and a deep mutual respect for over a decade!
For the sake of this rare and dear friend, Shisui defied the village leaders he respected most for the first time.
"Even Elder Danzo has no right to issue such an arbitrary order. I said, you are the only ones who are not allowed to go to the Land of Rain!"
The next moment, Shisui finally struck!
"what!"
A scream rang out as a Root ninja's shoulder was pierced.
Immediately afterwards, another Root ninja accidentally made eye contact with Shisui's eyes and was instantly tormented by the genjutsu, clutching his head and screaming in utter misery.
The remaining Root ninjas then felt a chill run down their spines.
For the first time, they realized that, aside from the advantage of their status, they were so weak in front of Uchiha Shisui!
The confidence that had always supported them in swaggering in front of the Uchiha clan finally crumbled at this moment.
"you--"
Just as the leader of the Roots was about to say something, a kunai whizzed past his ear and shot from behind him, embedding itself in the ground directly in front of him.
The next moment, a tremendous force came from behind the Roots commander's head, pressing his head down and slamming him face down to the ground, shattering his mask.
A blond man appeared at the spot where the kunai had landed in a rather dashing half-squatting position, with one hand pressing on the back of the Root Corps Captain's head.
The newcomer was none other than Minato Namikaze, the highest-ranking commander of Konoha in this war zone!
Behind him followed the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha, and a group of Uchiha clan ninjas.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Minato Namikaze's arrival and his words completely stunned the scene, causing the Root ninjas, whose fighting spirit was already almost gone, to put down their kunai.
With Danzo absent and Ryoma Aburame absent, the few of them alone wouldn't dare to openly defy the highest-ranking commander at this time.
What's more, Minato Namikaze was followed by a large group of red-eyed Uchiha who were glaring fiercely at them.
Fugaku walked up to Shisui and first rebuked him sternly, "Shisui, why didn't you come and discuss these things with me before doing them?"
Shisui was speechless when asked the question.
Just when Shisui thought he would be severely reprimanded or even punished by being confined, Fugaku gave him a deep look, then awkwardly reached out and patted his shoulder, speaking as if somewhat unwillingly.
"But this time, you played very well and did not disgrace the Uchiha clan."
This praise may not have been Fugaku's original intention, but with so many Uchiha clansmen around, all filled with righteous indignation, Fugaku couldn't force a lecture against their emotions.
Then Minato Namikaze glanced at Shisui and also gave him a smile full of apology and gratitude.
At that moment, Uchiha Shisui was first stunned, then looked blank for a long time before revealing a complex expression that was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.
He suddenly found it ridiculous—all his past efforts to mend the rift between his family and the village had only resulted in cold shoulders, indifference, and sarcasm.
Today, he clearly came with a "what the hell" mentality, having done countless mental preparations before deciding to be impulsive, but surprisingly, he received approval and praise from both sides.
What does all my persistence over the past amount to?
For a fleeting moment, just for that one moment, the shackles that had bound and restricted Uchiha Shisui throughout his entire life in the original story were broken in an instant!
At the same time, Aizen's face and teachings were imprinted even more deeply in his mind!
Where is Aizen-kun now? Is he still struggling and in pain? I think I've helped him enough, haven't I?
Standing before clan leader Fugaku, listening to the clansmen shouting and yelling, Uchiha Shisui had already quietly drifted off into thought, his mind wandering far away.
At this moment, hundreds of miles away, the person that Shisui was thinking about was not actually struggling with pain, but was resolutely heading towards his predetermined goal!
He then stopped in front of a wide river and raised his hand, signaling all the Akatsuki members around him to stop.
After crossing the river, the capital of the Rain Kingdom is not far away.
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa had to stop and gaze at someone on the opposite bank across the river.
The man was wearing purple armor, a helmet, and a breathing mask. He held a short-handled scythe with a chain hanging from its end, and there was no one within a fifteen-meter radius around him.
The person who came was the most crucial target of this trip—the most revered demigod in the Rain Kingdom over the past few decades, and also a solitary master of poison.
His poison was so terrifying that even his subordinates dared not approach him.
Similarly, Shiba Kiyokawa did not dare to have the Akatsuki members line up in front of this person.
"Kakuzu, Konan, and Nagato, stay here! The rest of you, disperse along the river and find your own crossing points upstream and downstream!"
After crossing the river, proceed with the attack on the city according to the original plan; ignore us here!
Shiba Kiyokawa knew very well that having more people was useless against Hanzo.
This river is destined to be a battlefield for a select few top experts!
The most difficult and crucial battle of this operation is about to begin!
Shisui broke free of his chains, and now it was his turn to face the destined scythe!
