Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 597 Faking Death to Escape

Looking at the young girl Honglian, who disregarded the assembled Jonin and casually threw the two corpses of Uchiha clan ninjas on the ground, she exuded an air of domineering arrogance.

Even Kisame Hoshigaki, the head of Kirigakure, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

To prevent this seemingly arrogant brat from saying anything outrageous, Kisame Hoshigaki spoke up before anyone else to ask.

"Chunin Guren, wasn't your team on vacation before? What's the deal with these two Uchiha ninjas? And what about Uchiha Shisui? I remember he was with you, right?"

As he spoke, Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Ibiki Morino and Hayate Gekko, who were following behind Guren and looked somewhat listless.

Clearly, Kisame Hoshigaki wanted to hand over the right to interpret this matter to Guren from his own village.

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, still looked rather grim.

Normally, if a ninja from another village killed a Konoha ninja and then so brazenly threw the body in front of them, it would definitely escalate into a diplomatic dispute.

However, given the previous "death of Fugaku Uchiha", Minato Namikaze did not interrupt Kisame Hoshigaki's question at this time.

Upon hearing this, Honglian first glanced at the assembled dignitaries and the more than thirty Uchiha corpses lying on the ground before explaining what had happened with a somewhat strange expression.

A few days ago, members of the Uchiha clan appeared in Amegakure and captured several people.

Since their plan was temporarily suspended, Honglian and the others were also captured and taken to a safe house in the Land of Rain to hide.

However, he is somewhat different from others.

In fact, Guren was never controlled by the Uchiha clan's genjutsu from beginning to end.

This was thanks to the special training that Tachibana Kenkawa gave his disciples before the third round of the Chunin Exams, in order to help them fight against Shisui Uchiha.

The most important thing he taught a few kids the secret technique called "Mystic Protection," which is specifically used to counter Sharingan genjutsu.

However, even Guren herself did not expect that she would be able to save her life two years later by using this secret technique, even though she failed to face Uchiha Shisui in the Chunin Exams.

When she was captured, Guren managed to resist the Uchiha's genjutsu control thanks to her "mysterious protection".

But at that time, there were more than ten Uchiha Jonin present. Guren knew that with only a Chunin as her, she would have no chance of escaping even if she launched a sneak attack, let alone save her other teammates.

Therefore, Honglian never showed any abnormality and always kept in sync with the other controlled companions.

This morning, the Uchiha Chunin who had been guarding them suddenly changed his behavior and prepared to kill them all.

Left with no other choice, Honglian had to abandon her pretense and fight back.

However, after killing the two Chunin guarding them, Guren discovered that there were no other Uchiha ninjas near the safe house where they had been imprisoned.

Confused, Honglian was also unclear about the situation, but she quickly broke the illusion control on her other teammates and they escaped back to the maintenance base together. "As for Zhishui, he was never imprisoned with us from the beginning. I don't know where he is now or whether he is still alive."

After hearing Guren's story, Minato Namikaze's face once again showed pain.

Even Minato Namikaze himself didn't realize that, ever since that night of the Nine-Tails, his signature sunny smile had become increasingly rare.

On the contrary, the Nine-Tails inside Minato Namikaze's body was laughing so heartily that it sounded so grating to his ears.

However, it wasn't just Minato Namikaze who was shocked; even Kisame Hoshigaki and the others who weren't from Konoha were equally astonished.

"Killing a close relative to awaken the Kaleidoscope", "Attacking the clan patriarch", "Intending to launch a rebellion".

Each and every one of these incidents, taken individually, could be considered an insane act.

When all these things are put together, even something as seemingly insignificant as Uchiha Shisui awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan appears trivial.

Even now, those present are unsure whether the deaths of these rebellious Uchiha clan members are a good or bad thing for Konoha.

However, it is foreseeable that there were definitely more than just these combatants involved in this matter within the entire Uchiha clan.

How to handle the follow-up matters is likely a headache for Konoha as well.

In the end, Minato Namikaze could only sigh, then with a dark face, he took all the Uchiha corpses, as well as Hayate Gekko and Ibiki Morino, who were involved in the matter, and set off back to Konoha.

Let's rewind a few hours.

Everyone thought that Fugaku Uchiha was dead, but he was alone in a valley in the Land of Rain, looking at the unconscious Shisui Uchiha in front of him, and made contact with Tachibana Kenkawa.

"Lord Jianchuan, I have brought Shisui with me."

On the other end of the communication, Tachibana Kanakawa looked at Fugaku Uchiha's left eye, which had completely lost its luster, as displayed by the "Illusionary Body Technique," and simply nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"I will try my best to help your eyes recover later."

Fugaku Uchiha didn't seem to care much when he heard this.

"It's alright, Lord Jianchuan. This eye actually went completely blind two years ago, so it won't affect my combat strength now."

Fugaku Uchiha wasn't lying, because his left eye had completely exhausted its power two years ago due to his frequent precognition of the future.

However, as long as the brief premonition in his left eye remained, and Susanoo could still be used, it wouldn't pose too much of a problem for Fugaku Uchiha.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so decisively chosen to fake his death and escape in this incident.

Seeing this, Tachibana Kenkawa didn't explain any further. In fact, for him, who possessed a large number of White Zetsu cells and various extraordinary skills, restoring Fugaku Uchiha's eye power was not a difficult task.

It's not too late to tell Fugaku Uchiha about this after he has truly joined Kirigakure.

On the contrary, it was this "rebellion" by the Uchiha clan.

Tachibana Kanakawa only learned the general outline of what happened after the whole incident was over.

Even he hadn't expected that the Uchiha clan, after having a few normal people 'eliminated' by Fugaku Uchiha, could go to such a crazy degree.

Originally, Tachibana Kenkawa had hoped that Fugaku Uchiha would stay in Konoha for a few more years.

Although in terms of intelligence, this clan leader, who has intentionally relaxed his management in the past two years, may not be able to provide much help to Kirigakure.

Ultimately, they are among the few top-tier combatants in Konoha today, and perhaps they can still play an unexpected role at certain crucial moments.

However, since the other party chose to fake their death and escape, Tachibana Kenkawa wouldn't hold it against them.

"What are your plans to do with the remaining Uchiha clan members in Konoha?"
