"A relic left behind?"
Sasuke, who was following beside him, looked around and found that there were many ruins in this area, which suggested that this place had once been glorious.
With a clear purpose, Yu Yi Xuan Yue walked deeper into the area and casually asked Sasuke, "Do you know Shennong?"
Sasuke nodded: "Like those people from Takumi Village, they are your prisoners."
"What is his identity?"
"The leader of the remnants of the Void Annihilation Clan."
"You didn't use the word 'remnants'," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said with a faint smile, glancing at Sasuke.
The former Sky Ninja launched a war to rebel against the rule of the Five Great Ninja Villages, only to be taught a lesson by Konoha.
From Konoha's perspective, calling them remnants of the Sky Ninja is perfectly appropriate.
Sasuke, now without anyone to guide him, actively transforms the "remnants" into the "discarded masses," revealing his true intentions.
It seems that Kazuma's brief conversation at the foot of Mount Hinoji gave him a perspective he had never considered before.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't seem to care much about this.
He continued, "The reason why the Sky Ninja are called Sky Ninja is because their village once lived in the sky. Although most of the Sky Ninja forces were destroyed back then, the Sky Ninja Village, the Sky City called Angkor Fortress, still exists."
Sasuke reacted quickly: "So, the Angkor Fortress of the Sky Ninja is hidden here."
Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded and looked at Sasuke seriously, saying, "Slaughter and pain always arrive unexpectedly at the most unimaginable times. The future ninja world will only become more turbulent. Even the village of Shinobi cannot escape this turmoil. Therefore, Shinobi needs a way out."
The power of the five great ninja villages should not be underestimated.
In terms of peak combat power, they are inferior to Yu Yi Xuan Yue.
However, the enormous spiderweb woven over the ninja world over the past decades means that, if one truly puts their mind to it, the secrets of the village will only be discovered in time.
Although Yu Yi Xuan Yue is powerful, she cannot be by his side at all times like a nanny, protecting Suoqian Village and the Yu Yi clan.
Moreover, even the strongest tree is nothing but a beautiful shell if it doesn't experience wind and rain.
However, I can prepare a safe way out for the Feathered Clan.
The Angkor Fortress in Kongren is a very good choice.
Given that few people in the ninja world possess the ability to fly, as long as one doesn't act recklessly, Angkor Fortress, formerly known as the Sky Ninja Village, is still quite safe.
Sasuke understood what Hagoromo Gengetsu meant.
Thinking of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, and then of the Uchiha people living in Kasugai Village now, he was even more eager than Hagoromo Gengetsu to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself.
"Since the remnants of the Sky Ninja have persisted to this day, there must be Sky Ninja guarding the Angkor Fortress. Lord Hagoromo, should we eliminate them all?"
For the Uchiha clan, for Hagoromo, for the future of Sekimae Village, Sasuke wouldn't mind going on a killing spree once.
"No need," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said calmly. "Shennong is more obedient than I imagined."
Shennong's performance was indeed beyond his expectations.
This man, who had previously questioned the meaning of more than fifty years, vividly demonstrated the profound understanding he had learned over those fifty years: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."
Even if he had to write a letter of command by hand before he set off, so that the Angkor fortress guards would obey him unconditionally.
Without saying a word, he immediately did as instructed.
Whether Shennong truly submitted or was merely playing the role of Goujian in his quest for revenge, Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't care, as long as he did good things for her.
With the detailed information and route provided by Shennong, who claimed that "His Majesty has surrendered first," Yu Yi Xuan Yue and Sasuke passed through the camouflage on the ground and arrived at their destination a quarter of an hour later.
Inside Angkor Fortress.
The traces of that brutal battle are still preserved to this day.
Many passageways are still collapsed, while the intact passageway walls are riddled with long cracks and covered with vines and moss.
"It seems that a thorough cleaning should be carried out before the residents of Suoqian Village move in."
Yu Yixuanyue glanced around and said.
Soon, the two encountered patrolling Sky Ninjas. After a "friendly" exchange, with the position of the leader of the Shennong Sky Ninjas still unshakable, Yu Yi Xuan Yue easily took over control of the fortress.
Open the secret passage of the fortress and arrive at the core power room.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue stood at the end of the passage, looking down at the center of the cylindrical space below. There, wrapped in a yellow sealing membrane, was a strange, serpentine monster with a massive, slender body and a mask bearing the number "zero" on its head. She said calmly:
"Zero tails?"
The so-called Zero-Tail is not a real tailed beast.
However, when the Sky Ninja obtained it, he thought it had the power of a tailed beast, so he took it upon himself to add a zero tail in addition to the one to nine tails.
To be precise, the zero tail below should be classified as a strange monster like a demon, a death god, or an evil god.
Born from the dark power within humanity, it will never be completely destroyed as long as darkness exists in humanity's hearts. Regardless of its actual combat strength, its immortality allows it to serve as a power source, supporting the long-term operation of the aerial fortress.
The Sky Ninjas back then had great foresight; that's exactly what they did.
I don't know what got into Shennong, but he insisted on absorbing the black chakra of Zero-Tails, thinking that he could conquer the ninja world like Seimei. In the end, he was defeated by Naruto and Sasuke in the original storyline.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who didn't even care about the tailed beasts, naturally didn't care about the so-called Zero Tail either.
Like the previous Sky Ninja, he also planned to exploit Zero-Tails as a perpetual motion machine.
Anyway, this guy is not going to die, and the relevant control techniques are readily available.
"Sasuke."
Yu Yi Xuan Yue extended her right hand and placed it within the cylindrical space sealing the Zero-Tails. She allowed her chakra to seep out and be absorbed by the Zero-Tails below, serving as energy to activate the fortress. Without turning her head, she gave her orders.
"Check the area within a 10-kilometer radius below and prevent anyone from approaching."
The reopening of Angkor Fortress was a big event, and Yu Yi Xuan Yue didn't want outsiders to see it.
"Yes, Lady Hagoromo."
Sasuke obeyed and left.
After half an hour.
With everything in place, Yu Yi Xuan Yue officially reopened Angkor Fortress.
In an instant, amidst the violent shaking of the earth, a massive fortress, mainly composed of stone and with a surface resembling a normal village or town, with numerous buildings, rapidly rose from the ground, soaring into the sky until it completely concealed itself above the clouds.
"Earth Release: Earth Core Movement!"
On the ground, a shadow clone of Yu Yi Xuan Yue, which had been deliberately left behind, slapped the ground with both hands, completely filling the large empty space left behind after the fortress left with earth-style ninjutsu.
Once it appeared indistinguishable from its surroundings, the Feathered Moon Shadow Clone nodded, then vanished in a puff of white smoke with a "bang."
Inside the fortress, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, having received the memories of the shadow clone, no longer lingered. After a series of operations on the control panel, the massive Angkor Fortress sped off towards Suoqian Village.

Chapter 137 Konoha's S-Rank Rogue Ninja: Uchiha Sasuke
Konoha, Hokage's office.
Upon returning to the village, Kakashi, as the leader of the mission team, immediately went to the Hokage's office and recounted the mission's failure and the entire incident to the Fifth Hokage:
"That concludes the report on this mission. I apologize, Lord Hokage, we were unable to complete the mission this time."
In the Hokage's seat, Tsunade, after listening to the report, had a solemn look in her eyes. She waved her hand and said, "According to what you said, Kakashi, if that masked man has the Mangekyou Sharingan, then the failure of this mission is understandable."
Every Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan is a very troublesome opponent.
The most recent was Itachi Uchiha, and even earlier was Madara Uchiha.
Tsunade, who comes from the Senju clan, is well aware of the power of such people.
She was already very grateful that no one in the team had been killed this time, given that the Mangekyou Sharingan was present.
only.
"When did the Uchiha clan gain another Mangekyou Sharingan user? And why is he involved with Uchiha Sasuke and Hagoromo Gengetsu behind him?"
Tsunade placed her hands on the table, interlacing her fingers, and asked, clearly puzzled.
Konoha knew the Uchiha clan's situation better than anyone else; they had never heard of anyone awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan back then.
If that were truly the case, Itachi Uchiha's massacre of his clan wouldn't have been so smooth.
"Could it be that a descendant of the Uchiha clan who was left behind suddenly awakened the Sharingan and evolved it to the Mangekyou Sharingan level?" Tsunade couldn't help but wonder.
Ninjas aren't saints; it's normal for them to have a fight with someone they like when they're out on a mission or traveling.
Aside from the Hyuga clan, which is so rigidly rule-bound it's almost abnormal, it's not uncommon for other ninja clans, or even families with bloodline limits, to unintentionally leave behind bloodlines outside their clans.
Despite the fact that the Yuki clan and Kaguya clan of Kirigakure are both bloodline limit families, they have all been wiped out.
However, it is quite possible that one or two more Ice Release users or Shikotsumyaku will emerge within the Land of Water in the future.
This is the case with Bai.
Therefore, Tsunade guessed that the masked man might also be in this situation.
She was unaware that Uchiha Shisui, who had died long ago, had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
After Uchiha Shisui revealed his eye techniques to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo, he did so.
Danzo acted with incredible speed and swiftly took action.
The fact that Danzo forcibly stole Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan was something that couldn't be brought to light, and it also involved his own secrets, so Danzo naturally wouldn't leave any description of it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was unaware that Danzo had obtained one of Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.
After learning that Shisui had committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Knowing that the Konoha leadership's actions throughout the process were not honorable, and unwilling to excessively provoke the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi, after skillfully using the "You regret my shadow" technique to reprimand Danzo, lightly brushed the matter aside, simply assuming that Uchiha Shisui had never found them, thus leaving no stain on his record at the official level.
As for Uchiha Shisui himself, he was not an flamboyant person to begin with.
As a member of the Uchiha clan, he did not want his clan, which had become completely militant, to become more confident in launching a coup because of him, so he never revealed the fact that he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Therefore, in the vast Hidden Leaf Village, after Danzo and the Root ninjas who fought alongside him were wiped out by Hagoromo Gengetsu, no one knows the truth about Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Except for one person who had already betrayed the village.
"You've all worked hard on this mission. I'll give you some time off, so take a good rest." Tsunade rubbed her temples, looking somewhat tired, after thinking for a while.
