Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 271: First meeting with Black Zetsu (5K)

"They're gone."

Hei spoke calmly, looking at the figure walking away in despair.

Uchiha Obito, who was standing next to him, had a cold expression and did not speak.

"What to do next?"

White Zetsu on the side looked at Uchiha Obito curiously.

"Of course I'm going to talk to our Fifth Hokage."

Black Zetsu chuckled and looked at Uchiha Obito on the side.

He didn't care at all about the grudge between this guy and Kakashi.

Or rather, he would be happy to see the situation develop into what it is today.

Before I knew it, the rain had subsided.

Hei looked at the crows flying in the sky in despair, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Did Uchiha Itachi finally lose his patience?

"In that case, let's go."

"After we meet that Hokage, we'll go capture the Four-Tails."

As soon as the words fell, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu had disappeared from the spot.

Only the slightly chilly wind after the rain remained.

-

"…Our mission this time can be considered a failure."

Along the way, Karin raised her somewhat lost eyes and looked at the ninja tool bag on Kakashi's waist.

There is a scroll inside, which contains Jiraiya's body.

"..."

Kakashi didn't respond to Karin, but sighed.

Sasuke followed the others silently, then suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"Sasuke?"

Karin noticed something was wrong with Sasuke and couldn't help but look back.

"You guys go ahead, I have something else to do."

The black-haired boy looked up at the black crows circling in the sky.

Sasuke's pair of scarlet three-magatama eyes met the red pupils in the crow's eyes.

"Sasuke?"

Karin was slightly surprised when she saw this.

"Don't worry, I'll catch up with you soon after I finish dealing with everything here."

"The most urgent thing is to pass the news of that person to the village, right?"

As he spoke, Sasuke had already gone in a completely different direction from everyone else.

"Sasuke!"

Karin wanted to go up and ask for clarification.

"If you have something important."

"Then let me go with you."

At this moment, Karin could roughly guess what was going on with Sasuke.

Everything related to Uchiha should come to a final conclusion.

And Sasuke is going to end it all now.

"Well, it's a bit troublesome, but as Karin said, with our help, it can be considered as a lookout."

Kakashi also took a step forward and spoke.

Although Mei Terumi didn't say anything, she stood silently beside Kakashi.

Obviously her meaning was self-evident.

"..."

Sasuke stood still and looked back at the three men.

"Forget it, whatever you want."

After saying that, Sasuke continued to walk forward, and the crows in the sky were leading this Konoha team.

Sasuke had his back to the crowd, his calm face showing no sign of emotion.

But no one knows what kind of heart he has hidden behind his calm appearance.

He only knew that with every step he took, his heart would become heavier.

At this moment, Sasuke thought about the past.

Those were the days I spent with my dad, mom, and brother.

Now he knew everything.

The Uchiha planned a coup. The Third Generation wanted to ease the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha, so he made Uchiha Itachi a member of the Anbu, but the Uchiha made Uchiha Itachi a spy.

At that time, Uchiha Itachi found Danzo and became a double agent.

Then not long after, Uchiha Itachi cooperated with Uchiha Obito to raise the butcher knife against his clan members.

The condition is to protect yourself.

Stepping on the accumulated water after the rain, Sasuke walked step by step towards an unknown direction.

He looked calm, but walked forward with an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Step by step, he embarked on the road of revenge.

Uchiha Itachi.

Sasuke found it difficult to express his feelings towards this brother.

He loved and hated this brother deeply.

I felt angry and helpless because of my brother's self-willed behavior.

But now it's all too late.

Ten years late.

For my father, for my mother, and for those innocent clan members who died tragically at the hands of Uchiha Itachi.

he……

He wanted to kill this brother who loved him with his own hands.

The blood feud will be avenged today.

Despair? Hatred? Helplessness?
Sasuke didn't know what emotion he was feeling right now.

As they got closer step by step, they passed through a dense forest and arrived in front of a building.

There is a striking but extremely glaring pattern on the tall building.

The Uchiha clan emblem.

Flame fan.

Seeing the familiar family emblem, Uchiha Sasuke felt at peace for some reason.

Yes……

What is there to hesitate and worry about?

All he had to do was kill him and take his body to the Uchiha cemetery to pay tribute to those clansmen who had died in vain.

There is also an Uchiha Obito, and we will kill him in the future, and that will be enough.

After doing all this, all you need to do is continue to stand behind Sakura and perform your duties as a Shadow Guard.

It's all over.

This is the end of my sad, helpless and bloody journey.

Uchiha Itachi...

Sasuke kept walking forward step by step, on his road called revenge.

A somewhat broken broadsword blocked Sasuke's way.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Itachi said that only Sasuke can go this way."

Kisame gasped and spoke as he looked at the Konoha team in front of him.

He didn't gain any advantage when fighting with Mei Terumi.

If Konan's paper crane hadn't flown in to stop the battle, he would have been ready to merge with Samehada and fight a desperate battle with Mei Terumi.

But even so, he dragged his tired body and came to stop the Konoha group according to Uchiha Itachi's instructions.

"Kisame, it seems you still haven't learned your lesson."

Mei Terumi took a step forward and looked at the man in front of her with cold eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Ming, this is what Mr. Itachi ordered."

Kisame Kisaki shook his head.

"Forget it, just wait here."

"I can go there alone."

Sasuke looked at Mei Terumi and shook his head, then ignored the Samehada in Kisame's hand and walked towards the tall building step by step.

Watching Sasuke leave, Karin turned to look at Kisame and said:

"I'm a medical and perception ninja, so it's okay for me to go there, right?"

Kisame looked at Karin in front of him and fell into a daze.

He vaguely remembered that the last time it was a pink-haired guy who called himself a medical ninja who beat him and Uchiha Itachi out of Konoha...

He was about to stop Karin, but he saw the red girl running towards Sasuke's receding back.

"Please stop."

Just as Kisame was about to move, a white short sword came into contact with Samehada's sword.

Compared with Samehada, the size of that short sword is more than dozens of times smaller.

But the edge of the blade was so bright that Kisame could hardly open his eyes.

……

In the dark corridor, Sasuke walked towards the unknown front step by step.

The corridor, which had been in disrepair for many years, was shabby and covered with moss.

"in front of."

The voice behind him woke Sasuke from his memories.

"..."

Sasuke pursed his lips and glanced at Karin who was following behind him without saying much.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just worried that if you die, that guy Naruto..."

Karin opened her mouth subconsciously, but suddenly stopped, with a hint of sadness in her scarlet eyes.

That guy Naruto...

His master died...

"..."

"Let's go."

Sasuke was also silent for a moment, then strode forward.

As the two walked, a dim light appeared before their eyes.

Finally, in a confined space, Sasuke met the person he wanted to see.

Uchiha... Itachi.

"You finally came."

Uchiha Itachi looked calmly at Sasuke in front of him.

He looked at him carefully.

It seems that after this, I can no longer see it...

When Uchiha Itachi learned that the current Hokage of Konoha had asked his younger brother to come, he had already thought of the current scene.

But he didn't show any surprise at all.

After all, that’s how it’s supposed to be, isn’t it?

"Ah, here I come."

"I'm here to kill you."

"Itachi Uchiha."

Sasuke looked calmly at the man on the stone chair. "Kill me...?"

Uchiha Itachi murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife with lightning flashed towards his forehead...

-

夜

Xiaoying was stirring the fire and added a handful of wood into it. The flames flickered and made crackling sounds.

Suddenly, a loud eagle cry was heard in the black sky.

Sakura looked up at the black sky, stood up, stretched out her hand, and a ninja hawk landed on her forearm.

He calmly took out the information from the eagle's claws, shook it lightly with one hand, and the black ninja eagle flew high into the sky again.

This is the information sent by Karin.

Jiraiya died.

Uchiha Itachi died.

Looking at the contents of the intelligence, Sakura's eyebrows did not show the slightest fluctuation.

Xiao...

Sakura sat down again, crumpled up the note in her hand and threw it directly into the fire.

"Eh?"

"Sakura, what happened?"

Naruto's voice came from the darkness, and he was seen to be wet, obviously soaked by the water when he crossed the waterfall.

Behind him were Yukito and Uchiha Hikaru, who both looked calm.

"No, it's nothing."

Sakura shook her head and did not tell Naruto about Jiraiya's news.

With the help of Yukito, Naruto's tailed beast training progressed rapidly.

Telling him the news about Jiraiya now would only make him lose interest in his training.

"You guys chat first, I'll go out for a walk."

Sakura threw the branch that was poking the fire into the flames, stood up, and walked outside under Naruto's surprised gaze.

"What's wrong with Sakura?"

Naruto scratched his head.

"Don't worry about what happened to her."

"You should take care of yourself now. I'm not interested in staying here with you for a few months."

Uchiha Hikaru was fiddling with the fire and unexpectedly found a few sweet potatoes from it.

"Eh? Even though I said that, I feel a little sad."

Naruto looked at the light under the fire helplessly.

"Do you still want me to stay here with you forever?"

Guang glared at the yellow-haired man.

"..."

Naruto was speechless, he just turned out the sweet potato, and was in a panic because it was hot as soon as he touched it.

"idiot."

……

The sea breeze was blowing, and her long pink hair was gently fluttering in the salty sea breeze.

There is no moon tonight, and the sea seems particularly dark. Waves crash against the rocks of Turtle Island one after another, and the crisp waves seem a little strange.

The emerald eyes gazed at the endless sea, and his thoughts were a little scattered.

Sakura thought of the stubborn yet eccentric man.

Payne...

If it were three years ago, Sakura would indeed have regarded the other party as a formidable enemy.

But, now...

Should I shift my focus from the so-called nobles to the Akatsuki organization?

Sakura has always believed in one sentence.

Things that can be solved by force are always the easiest things.

Pain can be destroyed with just a flip of the hand.

In that case, let’s go to Yuyin after we’re done with this matter.

"Hokage."

An extremely abrupt voice came from the darkness.

There was a hint of fear hidden in the calm voice.

At some point, a man in a black robe with red clouds appeared not far behind Sakura.

"How dare you come to see me."

The pink color that could not be concealed by the darkness slowly stood up and spoke.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Black Zetsu."

Another voice sounded from behind Sakura.

Sakura turned around and looked through the darkness at the man not far away.

Uchiha Obito.

An unknown creature as dark as night appeared and its head popped out from his wide sleeves.

"A life created by Yin Yang Escape?"

The pink figure stared at Black Zetsu and revealed Black Zetsu's essence in one sentence.

The other party was the life that Kaguya Otsutsuki had saved using Yin-Yang-Jin when she was on the verge of being sealed.

Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, then spoke with a sinister smile:
"As expected of the Hokage, you can see my true nature at a glance. I guess the Hokage must have come a long way in the art of Yin-Yang Release."

Sakura didn't respond.

Yin Dun is Yin Dun, Yang Dun is Yang Dun, Yin Yang Dun is Yin Yang Dun.

Sakura has only learned Yin-Yang Release at the moment.

"How dare two people who are so fearless to come to me."

"Aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?"

Sakura spoke calmly.

However, Black Zetsu's next words made Sakura frown slightly.

"Hokage-sama, you don't want your plot to murder the previous daimyo to be exposed, do you?"

Sakura didn't say anything, but waited for Black Zetsu to continue.

Seeing that the pink-haired girl in front of him had no change in expression, Hei Zetsu continued speaking:
"In order to become the Fifth Hokage, Shimura Danzo used illusions to control the Daimyo, but I didn't expect that you, Hokage, would do something even more extreme."

"Just kill the previous daimyo and appoint a new obedient daimyo."

"If this matter gets out, how will the world view you?"

Black Zetsu's words were solemn, and a threatening tone was revealed in them.

"that's it?"

"How dare a mere Akatsuki member slander the Hokage?"

"who do you think You Are?"

"Who are you? Who am I?"

Pink stands tall in the darkness, and even the thick night cannot hide each other's gaze.

What is that look?
Sarcasm, disdain.

It was as if the person in front of him had told a funny joke.

"If just anyone can slander the Hokage, then this Hokage is too cheap."

"Do I have to prove my innocence just because of a member of a traitorous ninja organization?"

The Hokage robe on his body swayed in the sea breeze, which made Uchiha Obito extremely solemn.

“A bug in the shadows will always be a bug.”

"It's like a salted fish that wants to turn over. If it turns over, is it no longer a salted fish?"

Perhaps it was because the Hokage's words were too sarcastic, which made Uchiha Obito's face look a little ugly.

He felt that this Hokage was suspected of making indirect accusations.

"That's not what I meant."

Black Zetsu shook his head, then looked at the Hokage in front of him with a serious look.

"Hokage, let's be frank. I already know your intention, to break the unchanging ninja hierarchy."

"We Akatsuki and your path as Hokage coincide with each other."

"If it's Konoha and Akatsuki..."

Before Hei Zetsu could finish his words, a sneer came from the pink in the darkness.

"Who do you think you are."

"You dare to discuss cooperation with me?"

"I'm the Hokage."

"The Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

"The leader of the largest military organization in the ninja world."

"you?"

"It's just a low-brow thing."

"Are you qualified to discuss cooperation with me?"

The merciless sarcastic words made Black Zetsu silent for a moment.

"It seems that you have no desire to continue the conversation, Naruto."

Black Zetsu sighed.

"Continue chatting?"

"I am just here alone, enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the sea."

"Just come to me yourself."

"In that case, you two don't have to leave."

Sakura twisted her wrist and a hint of coldness appeared on her face, which made Uchiha Obito's scalp tingle instantly.

The next second, a gust of wind from a fist brushed past his body!

Uchiha Obito had been on edge whenever Black Zetsu and Sakura were talking, especially at this moment when their words were full of tension.

He had already been prepared.

The moment the pink-haired girl took action, she began to transform into a virtual being!
As expected, the punch missed!
"What a disgusting ability."

As Sakura passed through Uchiha Obito's body, her brows and eyes were a little gloomy.

"Haruno Sakura, you must understand that if you choose to be our enemy, you will face the condemnation of the whole world."

Black Zetsu continued to speak.

"Even if we capture the tailed beast, it will mean nothing to the nobles who control the economic lifeline of the ninja."

"After all, Hashirama Senju did the same thing decades ago."

"And you are challenging those people's bottom line and authority."

"Once the truth comes out, you will become the target of public criticism in the entire ninja world."

Black Zetsu's words reached the Hokage's ears, causing the pink shrouded in darkness in the middle of the night to let out a soft laugh.

There was a hint of doubt in his chuckle, as if he even found the other person's words funny.

"Black Zetsu, huh?"

"When did you get the illusion that every war Konoha fights isn't a one-force war against the entire world?"

"In that case, I will ask both of you to leave."

At this moment, the pair of emerald eyes in the darkness suddenly turned into a golden color.

next moment!
Uchiha Obito suddenly felt a surge of ghosts in his heart!
Like a sheep among tigers!
What a ridiculous description, tigers...can't live in groups!

And at this moment, Uchiha Obito really had this feeling!

He used his divine power almost subconsciously. However, a girl's voice as loud as a silver bell came to his ears...

"It's a little late to use Kamui now..."
