Chapter 196 Amaterasu and Akatsuki (Two in One)

"...something's wrong!"

The Iwa Ninja responsible for sensing thought for a few seconds, and finally said cautiously: "Withdraw, go back and report to the captain!"

After that, he decisively turned around and left.

The two rock ninjas beside him also reacted immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, he decisively followed.

Although I didn't see the figure my companion mentioned, in order to ensure the safety of the team, we must be cautious no matter what.

At this time, this important information must be sent back to the place where the team is stationed.

However, when they were about to take action.

call!

A cold murderous aura suddenly appeared behind them, and the three people enveloped by this murderous aura couldn't help but stiffen.

Then, the Sensing Rock Ninja heard a dull sound coming from beside him.

Boom! Boom!

As if he had realized something, he felt that the Iwa Ninja's breathing suddenly stopped and his heart began to beat violently.

This voice was all too familiar to him.

This is the sound of a sharp weapon penetrating the body.

The sensing rock ninja turned his head stiffly and looked at his companion who was making strange noises.

"Ho ho, ho~"

I saw blood continuously overflowing from the corners of my companion's mouth, and his stiff body also kept twitching.

A short knife soaked in blood penetrated his chest from behind.

The ghostly figure that seemed to blend into the shadows appeared silently behind him at some point.

And looking at the black figure so close at hand, Iwa Ninja's heart suddenly sank.

"You...you guy?!"

He forced down the fear in his heart, tremblingly took out the kunai and wanted to fight.

But the black shadow shook for a moment and disappeared from his face in the blink of an eye.

Before Iwa Ninja had time to react, he saw a flash of cold light.

The kunai in his hand broke, and half of the kunai slowly slipped away.

"Ho ho!"

Sensing what the Iwa Ninja was trying to do, he suddenly felt a stinging pain and chill in his neck.

Hiss...ssssssssssssss!

A cold incision slowly opened, and a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out.

His eyes suddenly widened, filled with fear and unwillingness, and he slowly fell backwards.

From the silent appearance of the black shadow to the sudden death of the two rock ninjas, the whole process only took two or three seconds.

After the black shadow killed two people.

He didn't even look at the two corpses, but looked at the last Iwa nin.

I saw that the Iwa Ninja had already taken out the signal bomb and was about to launch it.

The black shadow suddenly swung the short knife and aimed it at his wrist.

Click!

"Uh-huh!"

The palm of his hand was cut off directly with a knife, causing the Iwa ninja to groan in pain, and the signal bomb also fell to the ground.

The Iwa ninja didn't hesitate and dropped the smoke bomb in his other hand.

He immediately distanced himself decisively, ignored the people behind him, turned around and ran for his life.

"Who is this monster? It's like..."

- Like, shadow!

The Iwa Ninja can easily determine the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves.

This kind of enemy is simply not something he can deal with.

The stealth ability is really too strong.

Obviously there were sentient ninjas on their side, but when they came behind them, they finally showed their murderous intent.

Then without giving any chance to react, he only swung two swords and killed two people cleanly.

Now he just wants to pass the news back as soon as possible and gather his teammates to deal with this "shadow" together.

However, before he could take a few steps,

But suddenly he felt that his body was not in control, and he staggered forward and fell to the ground.

"What?"

Iwa Ninja turned his head away in shock and confusion.

I saw that his body had been cut into two parts from the waist.

The body part below the waist was still standing there, with large amounts of blood spurting out from the extremely smooth cut surfaces.

"Haaah...ahhhhhh!!"

After waiting for a moment, the blank-faced Iwa Ninja began to wail heartbreakingly.

The terrifying, severe pain surged up like a sea tide.

Even a well-trained ninja cannot avoid the pain and fear of being cut in half.

"Sorry, but could you be quieter?"

Accompanied by a slightly apologetic voice, a figure wrapped in a black hooded coat slowly approached.

Looking at the figure gradually walking towards him, and looking at the dagger in his hand that was constantly bleeding, the Iwa Ninja's face twisted in pain also showed a look of fear and resentment.

"Kill me! Give me a good time!!"

The Iwa ninja shouted with tears streaming down his face: "I will never betray the village's information, please kill me!"

With this horrific injury, he was already dead.

However, he will never expose the team's location. He just wants to be happy now!

"If this is your last wish..."

The hooded man looked down at him and shook his head unbearably: "Sorry, I can't promise you."

"However, since you are unwilling to tell me, I will not force you to answer."

Hearing this, Iwa Ninja's twisted face suddenly became happy.

But the next second, when he raised his head and looked at the man, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Because under the hole of the mask in front of him, the three magatama Sharingan, exuding scarlet color, slowly emerged.

"...Uchiha!!"

He was born in Iwagakure and knew what these two Sharingan eyes meant.

That is, the despair of being unable to keep a secret even before death.

"The area I just cut off was the waist and crotch area."

Shisui said calmly: "Although your internal organs and blood are flowing out, the main organs are not damaged. Even if you don't take any measures to stop the bleeding, you will still die of bleeding in a few minutes."

"These few minutes are enough for me to get all the information I need."

The moment the voice fell.

And the Rock Ninja who was looking at him saw a flash of scarlet.

Three magatama exuding evil intentions gradually enlarged in the field of vision.

"Don't worry, it will only hurt a little at the beginning, and you will die in the illusion soon."

Although Shisui's tone sounded very gentle and compassionate.

But the Rock Ninja who still had a trace of consciousness felt that his body was cold, and a deep despair appeared in his eyes.

Finally, his eyes gradually became scattered, and his consciousness slowly fell into darkness.

After a while.

The Rock Ninja completely lost his voice.

"Is it over there?"

The scarlet color in Shisui's eyes also dissipated, and he turned around and looked far to the southeast.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Izumi should have already started."

Then, he can't fall behind too much.

Thinking of this, Shisui's figure merged into the darkness again.

………………

In the temporary base of the mining team in Iwagakure Village.

"Kakuzu, what's wrong with these guys in Iwagakure?"

A strange puppet moving on the ground walked to Kakuzu and asked impatiently: "When are they going to act? I'm in a hurry to replenish the appropriate materials!"

After that, he casually glanced at the dead body next to him, and his tone became more irritable.

After searching for so long nearby, he only found a piece of trash.

I'm afraid that in this small country, there are not many ninjas who can meet his minimum requirements.

Kakuzu glanced at the corpse brought back by Scorpion and took out a torn and thick bounty book from his arms.

"Why are you urging me? You need to be patient to make money. Wait for their advance team to come back."

He flipped through the bounty book and answered casually: "The front is the territory of the country of Kawano. The remaining ninja forces of this country are concentrated there. If you kill them all later, you should be able to find some suitable puppet materials."

Scorpion couldn't help but sneer when he heard it.

Kakuzu obviously wanted him to be a tool.

When he completely destroyed this small country, there would always be some small fish and shrimps that were rewarded.

But...

"It's not the first time I've destroyed a country."

Scorpion threw the corpse aside with some disdain: "Although they are all garbage, they can only make up the number for now."

After that, he turned his head and looked at Kakuzu.

"Kakuzu, if you die, your corpse will be mine."

Scorpion's voice was hoarse and low, and it was extremely unpleasant.

And when he found that there was no reward for this corpse, Kakuzu also perfunctorily said a little impatiently: "You can try."

Just then

"My Lords."

Captain Iwagakure came over with a serious expression: "Something unusual may have happened."

Kakuzu asked without raising his head: "What's the unusual situation?"

"The advance team has lost contact."

"... Lost contact?"

Kakuzu raised his head in surprise.

If I remember correctly, there was a perception ninja and two jonin in the advance team.

Didn't they even have time to send out the signal?

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Scorpion beside him said impatiently: "No matter who we meet in this broken place, it's impossible to defeat the two of us!"

"Instead of wasting time here, why not hurry up and push forward now!"

This group of Iwagakure ninjas are really too timid.

It's just an ordinary resource mining mission. What level of enemy can we encounter in the Land of Rivers?

"... Well, just do as he says."

Kakuzu thought for a moment, and nodded: "With the two of us protecting you, you can rest assured."

Seeing that the two uncles were determined, the captain of Iwagakure hesitated for a moment, and went back to organize the team without saying a word.

Now there is no other choice except to trust them.

But just when Kakuzu stood up and was about to pack up and leave.

The steps under his feet suddenly stopped, and then he keenly noticed something.

Subconsciously looked down.

Silent silence, deep shadows.

For some reason, those shadows became darker than usual, looking like a bottomless darkness like thick ink.

"Scorpion...shadow..."

Intermittent and stiff words came out of Kakuzu's mouth.

He tried hard to control his head and turned his head to look at Scorpion.

But from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Scorpion was the same as him.

——Someone used shadow magic to control their bodies.

Oops!

Kakuzu secretly said that it was not good.

But before he could react.

The next second, countless strange and twisted shadows came from the trees and the ground, rushing towards him in a confusing and weird posture.

Finally, all the shadows converged into a figure covered by a coat.

Uchiha Shisui's black eyes were filled with coldness.

His figure quickly attacked Kakuzu, and the black blade in his hand slashed across Kakuzu's body without hesitation.

Puff! !

Blood spurted out from Kakuzu's chest.

The knife cut directly from his chest to his heart, revealing a body full of scars under the black and red cloud robe.

"This guy..."

Shisui paused, and his expression was a little surprised.

He clearly chopped off the man's heart, but why can he still hear the heartbeat?

No, that's not right.

This is not the heartbeat of one heart.

This is the sound of several overlapping heartbeats.

"Uh ah!"

With a low roar, four monsters wearing white masks and made of black balls of thread rushed out of Kakuzu's body and scattered around.

"What kind of secret technique is this?"

Shisui's eyes shone, and he stepped back decisively.

At this time, a masked monster with red lines on its mask opened its mouth towards Shisui.

Fire escape·Headshot!

Fire bombs shot out of the masked monster's mouth like cannonballs!

Shisui did not make any extra movements, but quickly formed seals with both hands again.

"Fire escape·Fire dragon flame bomb!"

In an instant, a huge fire dragon head spit out from its mouth, roaring silently and rushing towards Kakuzu.

Boom boom boom!!

The fire bombs hit the fire dragon, making a series of loud noises, stirring up flames all over the sky and filling the air with smoke.

When the smoke gradually dissipated.

Kakuzu and Scorpion, whose clothes were torn, had already broken free from control and were facing Shisui, who was wearing a black cloak, from a distance.

"You guy..."

Kakuzu looked at Shisui with a gloomy expression: "Shadow technique, are you from the Nara clan of Konoha?"

"No, that's not right. Although the Nara clan is cunning, their shadow technique is not so weird."

Thinking of this, he stared at the black three-eyed cat-faced mask on Shisui's face.

"Three-eyed cat-faced mask... Are you Amanomichu of the Red Moon Organization?"

Hearing what Kakuzu said, Shisui immediately understood that Kakuzu must have mastered the characteristics of Red Moon's dress, so he identified him as Amanomichu.

So he pointed at the mask on his face, shook his head and chuckled: "Sorry, I'm not Ame-no-Miyachu, I'm Amaterasu of Akatsuki."

Kakuzu said in a deep voice: "What Amaterasu? Are you kidding me?"

He had never heard that "Akazuki" had other members besides "Ame-no-Miyachu".

Scorpion said in a muffled voice: "His mask seems to be different from that 'Ame no Michu'. They should be from the same organization."

"...A member of Akatsuki? I didn't expect to meet him here?"

Kakuzu remained calm and said to Shisui in a condescending tone: "What do you want to do, Akatsuki? Our Akatsuki organization has already accepted this mission!"

"Please don't get me wrong."

Shisui smiled helplessly: "My mission is just to stop you from moving forward."

"If I'm not mistaken, the secret technique you used should be the secret technique of Takigakure Village, the Earth Grudge... I didn't expect that this secret technique disappeared for decades and fell into your hands."

"I changed my mind."

Kakuzu's expression suddenly sank, and he said in a cold tone: "Tell me the whereabouts of Ame no Michu, hand over all the information about your organization, and I can spare your life!"

Scorpion on the side said impatiently: "Why waste time talking to him! I am very satisfied with this guy's body! Kill him directly!"

Swish! !

The moment the voice fell, the sharp weapon like the scorpion's tail suddenly stabbed towards Shisui.
