Escape From Konoha

The surface of the lake is calm, as flat as a mirror without any ripples.

Sasuke found that the moment he opened his eyes, he suddenly appeared in this completely unfamiliar place in his memory, and he couldn't help but frown.

Surrounded by darkness that was as solid as a substance, the lake surface was as flat as a mirror beneath his feet. As it descended, ripples began to form under his feet, causing ripples to spread out around him.

"Dream? No, what exactly is here..."

Sasuke immediately denied the illusion that this was a dream. The perception was so clear, and his body was freely controlled, and he could actually sense the surrounding space, which meant that this place was definitely not a virtual out-of-control structure created by a dream. Admittedly, it might be the illusion space that confused his five senses, but Sasuke didn't think anyone in this world could make him fall into an illusion without his knowledge.

Although his strongest ability is not illusion, he already has the Eternal Kaleidoscope, and the application and defense of illusion have naturally been elevated to a very high level. This is the most basic ability of the Sharingan.

Therefore, being controlled by someone using illusions can also be eliminated as an option.

"interesting."

After Sasuke was briefly surprised, a smile appeared on his lips and he maintained a calm posture.

The eyes quickly changed into the form of the three magatama sharingan, scanning the surroundings carefully, and the chakra in the body also spread to the surroundings for perception.

Finally, a certain existence in the darkness was locked.

"Come out, I've discovered you. If I guessed correctly, you should be the cause of my appearance here."

Sasuke's voice echoed in this abnormal time and space.

Then, there were footsteps behind him, and someone approached him from behind, deliberately making a sound to let him find traces.

Ripples rippled from behind, and soon, they touched the surface of the lake where Sasuke was.

Sasuke turned around calmly, his Sharingan's gaze firmly locked on the figure who walked a few meters in front of him and suddenly stopped.

Wearing ancient clothing embroidered with black magatama, it is incompatible with the trends of today's times, and has the same three magatama sharingan as him.

A very young and handsome young man, with a fierce aura between his eyebrows.

When looking directly at the other person's Sharingan, Sasuke felt his eyes sting.

"We finally meet, Uchiha Sasuke. This should be our first meeting."

The young man with the Sharingan smiled like this.

The ripples beneath my feet began to calm down.

Sasuke saw that the other party had exactly the same Sharingan as himself, and had a vague intuition that the other party's Sharingan seemed to be fundamentally different from his own.

This sense of confusion of not being able to determine the level based on the form of the Sharingan, reminded Sasuke of a person - Chiba Kazuhime.

Although the Sharingan is only in the three-magatama state, its pupil power has reached a level that surpasses the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Now, this young man's Sharingan gave him the same feeling.

So, Sasuke asked: "Who are you? You know my name and you have the Sharingan. Are you also an Uchiha?"

He has the Sharingan, but does not have the Uchiha clan's Uchiha fan logo on his body.

Could it be the offspring of an intermarriage between Uchiha tribesmen and outsiders? Just like Chiba Kazuhime who left a deep impression on him.

Although he has the Sharingan, he is not included in the Uchiha family's genealogy. Therefore, the Uchiha family crest will not be awarded, because in fact, the other party has already established its own lineage.

In the future, a new bloodline limited group might be born with the surname "Qianye".

But Sasuke couldn't imagine that a woman who was as powerful as a monster would get married and have children like an ordinary woman.

"My name is Indra, I think you have heard of me."

The young man replied.

After hearing this, Sasuke was slightly startled.

He had heard of this name.

The Uchiha clan, the country of ghosts that broke away from Konoha, has more complete family history information than the Uchiha during the Konoha period.

The ancestors of the Uchiha clan have the same origin as the Uzumaki clan, Hyuga clan, Senju clan and other families.

That source is an existence named Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The goddess of the moon who once ruled the world.

However, due to some things, he split from his twin brothers, and was eventually defeated and sealed by his eldest son, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the Six Paths Sage, and his second son, Otsutsuki Hamura.

Then the Six Paths Sage passed down the Ninja sect and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Indra and the second son Asura.

The second son Asura inherited the immortal body of the Six Paths Sage, and his descendants formed the Senju and Uzumaki clan.

The eldest son Indra inherited the Immortal Eye, and his descendants formed the Uchiha clan.

This guy... Sasuke's eyes suddenly became serious.

His intuition told him that this young man who called himself 'Indra' was definitely not a fake pretending to be the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke took a deep breath. The amount of information was so huge that he couldn't react for a while.

How could the ancestor of the Uchiha clan find him?

What is his purpose?

When was he targeted?

Sasuke's brain was working at high speed, trying to deduce information that would be useful to him.

"Don't think too much. Although the Uchiha clan was created by me, I am already dead. Even if I want to harm you, I can't do it now. You can use fairy magic to sense this and you will know whether it is true or false."

Indra said with a smile.

"It's not certain. If you are really that Indra, what kind of trump card you have is unknown. Moreover, a guy who has lived from thousands of years ago to the present cannot be simply described as scary. That sums it up.”

Sasuke replied.

Indra is not only the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, but also the ancestor of ninjutsu.

The ninjutsu system he created has lasted for thousands of years and continues to this day, and ninjas are still using it happily.

What kind of ninjutsu the opponent can use is not surprising to Sasuke.

"Really? Compared to the reincarnation of that Asura guy, as expected, you still look better."

The fact that Indra was somewhat boastful.

Although, in battles between his reincarnations and Asura's reincarnations, they basically lost more than they won.

"Reincarnated person?"

Sasuke felt weird about this term.

"Yes, although for ninjas of your era, my form of existence is rather strange, my chakra is indeed lodged in you, and you are equivalent to my 'reincarnation'. More than that, Asura It's the same over there. Between him and me, we have been searching for suitable reincarnations among our own descendants for thousands of years, just to determine the winner."

"I really don't know what to say. I am Uchiha Sasuke, not your reincarnation. If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for taking action against you. If you piss me off, I don't care if you are the ancestor of the Uchiha clan or not. Besides, what does a dead man want to do when he crawls out of his grave at this time?"

Thunder light began to gather in Sasuke's palm, and a sharp bird song immediately sounded in the quiet space, and he stared at Indra with cold eyes.

As long as the opponent makes any move, he will mercilessly hit the Chidori in his hand into the opponent's body, sending the opponent to the final stage.

"This unruly attitude is truly worthy of my descendants."

Indra was not angry, but said in a complimentary tone, seeming to appreciate Sasuke's crisp and neat style of doing things.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. I only have the last bit of chakra left here. In a few moments, I will completely disappear from this world."

Indra tried to use these words to dispel Sasuke's suspicion.

But Sasuke ignored it and just maintained the posture of releasing Chidori, staring at Indra coldly.

"Forget it, let me tell you a little story..."

"No need. I'm not interested in your past at all. If it's nothing, just disappear as soon as possible. This is my territory."

Sasuke said without giving any face.

"……well……"

Indra breathed out.

If I had known, I would have saved some more chakra and taught this kid a lesson.

Although he admired Sasuke's personality, after all, he was his ancestor.

Can't you just let him finish speaking?

"Okay, let me make a long story short. In the past, I broke up with Asura because of some things, and continued a long battle through chakra reincarnation. But the fate of this battle has been ended by Asura and I. , so you don’t have to bear such a fate to fight the reincarnation of Asura. However, in any case, it would be too rude to leave without saying goodbye after borrowing your body for a long time. Therefore, in the end, I Decided to give you a gift."

"Gift? No need. I don't need something of unknown origin."

Sasuke shook his head and rejected it.

"Really? You know, that guy Asura left very nice things to his reincarnation, and his reincarnation seems to have a very unusual relationship with you. Although I'm not like Asura That guy, if you like the old man, you can get a lot of good things...but at least it will make you more comfortable in controlling your current power, and it will save you several years of hard work."

Indra said seductively.

"unnecessary."

Sasuke still refused outright, with a wary look still hidden in his eyes.

"...Really? In short, I will leave the things, and when you want to use them, come and get them. Although the battle between me and Asura is over, I still don't want you to lose to The reincarnation of Asura. There is only so much I can do for you."

"Hey, you guy, don't let me make your own decisions——"

Sasuke wanted to step forward, but as soon as he took a step, Indra's figure disappeared from his eyes like a twisted phantom.

The surrounding space cracked into countless fragments like a broken mirror, plunging Sasuke into a murky darkness.

——Open your eyes.

Sasuke, who was still napping, suddenly sat up from the towering rock pillar.

The white clouds are lingering and the blue sky is clear. It is a rare good weather.

But Sasuke was not in the mood to enjoy the rare afternoon peace at the moment, because this mood was ruined by someone.

He first used the magic chakra to filter his body, and he didn't feel at ease until he found that there was nothing abnormal about him.

"That bastard dares to make decisions for me without permission. I don't care if he is the ancestor of the Uchiha clan. I will kill him with my own hands next time I see you!"

Sasuke's open Sharingan eyes were filled with anger.

"Sasuke, what happened?"

Jugo, who was guarding Sasuke, noticed that Sasuke's mood seemed to have become very bad. Even the air seemed to be filled with Sasuke's anger. He didn't know why he suddenly became angry.

Is it because of nightmares?

"No, it's nothing. Help me contact the Intelligence Department. I need all the information about Indra, including top-secret information that cannot be disclosed to the public."

Although Sasuke had learned about some things about Indra when he read family history, most of them were just a superficial taste. After all, he was not interested in this kind of ancient history thousands of years ago. He just wanted to understand the development of the Uchiha clan. , so we didn’t go into it further.

"Indra? Isn't that the ancestor of your Uchiha clan?"

Chongwu was a little surprised.

"It's just a whim to investigate some things that concern me."

"I see."

Jugo nodded, not quite understanding what Sasuke was thinking, but decided to help him act.

◎

"I'm finally back. I was so exhausted along the way."

Entering the secret passage of Yugakure, you can go directly to the towering tower in the center of Yugakure, and such secret passages will only be opened to the core members of the Akatsuki organization.

Kisame rubbed his chest, which was still aching. Although the injuries on his body had basically recovered after self-healing, the throbbing pain had not been completely eliminated. Perhaps it was the psychological shadow left by the tailed beast jade attack.

The sound of rain outside gradually became fainter. The further you walked in, the weaker the sound became until it was no longer audible.

"It's safe here. The next step is to seal the Eight-Tails. I don't know what the outcome of Konoha and Kirigakure's actions will be."

Beiruhu said to Kisame while carrying the severely injured body of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki Rabbi.

In this operation, he only attacked Kirabi once, and the rest of the battle was completely taken over by Kisame.

Compared to Kisame's fatigue, he had plenty of energy.

"I really hope this kind of work ends soon."

Kisame complained.

Compared to researchers like Beiruhu, ninjas like him with strong ability to capture alive are the main force in capturing jinchūriki.

In the operation to capture the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, he managed to capture the two Jinchuuriki in an almost perfect way.

Because of this, his ability to capture alive has always been favored by the leader of the organization, Nagato, compared to other members of the Akatsuki organization.

If this were not the case, the difficult task of capturing the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki would not be left to him.

"There's no point in complaining. After all, the real battle will come next."

Beiliuhu said so.

The Kingdom of Rain is now full of White Zetsu, which means that the organization is no longer willing to hide in the dark, but plans to bring everything to the surface and have a final showdown with the ninjas of the great country.

It is not yet clear who will win and who will lose, but Beiliuhu can be sure that the next battle will surpass any other ninja war.

And whether this upcoming battle of the century will be the end of the war, or a return to the Warring States era, becoming even more chaotic... But no matter which way it is, Xiao will be one of the next protagonists, and will no longer be dominated by the great powers. A small character that we treat as nothing.

"Yes, war is no joke. Maybe even we will die in the next battle."

Kisame laughed, as if he didn't care about his life or death.

"Aren't you scared, Kisame?"

As Beiruhu walked forward, he glanced at Kisame unexpectedly.

"The life of a ninja is a life of fighting. All the dead companions died in battle. Fighting is what ninjas are all about. If there is no war, where will we ninjas go?"

Kisame's words made Beiruhu fall into silence, as if recalling very unpleasant memories from the past.

Like Kisame, he is also a ninja who has experienced the war era. The Konoha Village he used to belong to was the protagonist in the war era, and he participated in every ninja war.

Even he is afraid of this unreasonable meat grinder like war.

"Maybe. But I am not the kind of ninja who will sacrifice everything for other people's dreams. If Akatsuki fails, I will abandon all of you immediately. After all, I have no interest in peace or war. What I have done Everything is for myself."

Beiliuhu declared this.

"In that case, I have to be careful about you."

Kisame joked.

"Don't worry, if Akatsuki continues to win, it will be a good thing for me. In the past, I was obsessed with the power of Sharingan, but I later discovered that the Byakugan also has merits. If possible, I want to get the Byakugan of Hinata Ayane, then A pair of beautiful and incredibly powerful eyes.”

Bei Liuhu made no secret of his coveted ambition.

To be more precise, I am interested in the white eyes that go beyond the white eyes.

Like the Sharingan, there are layers between the Byakugan and Byakugan.

If he wanted to get the ordinary Byakugan, he could get it, but that kind of low-level Byakugan was not what he wanted.

The passage soon came to an end.

Directly inside the central tower of Yuyin, there was already a person waiting for them in advance.

Xiaonan.

During the period when Nagato was away, she was the actual controller of Yugakure.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Watching Kisame and Hiruhu return after a long journey, especially Kisame, Akatsuki's uniform has disappeared from his body, his upper body is completely exposed, and his face shows a tired look, obviously he has experienced a hard battle.

"The jinchuriki has been brought back, do you want to seal it now?"

Beiliuhu threw Kirabi to the ground and asked Xiaonan.

"No, not for now. Nagato seems to be sealing the three tails and six tails. Let's leave the eight tails to be sealed later. The current situation has reached a stalemate, and we can still squeeze out a lot of time to seal the tailed beasts. "

Konan said calmly, "Kirigakure's three tails and six tails have been obtained by the two of them."

Beilihu and Kisame had surprised looks on their faces at the same time.

"As expected of the leader, it seems that Yagura guy is completely finished."

Kisame chuckled, with some unknown malice.

"Hey, after all, the Yondaime Mizukage is also your former boss."

Bei Liuhu complained.

"That guy Yagura and I don't get along at all, otherwise I wouldn't have left Kirigakure. However, the three-tails and six-tails were arrested. Does that mean the leader is sealing those two tailed beasts in the village?"

Kisame asked.

Konan shook his head and replied: "No, Nagato summoned the golem away, and the sealing work was not carried out in the village."

"But I remember that most of the strongholds outside were destroyed by the Kingdom of Ghosts."

Kisame raised an eyebrow.

Bei Liuhu was equally puzzled and looked at Xiaonan with inquiring eyes.

The stronghold of the Akatsuki organization was destroyed by the Kingdom of Demons, which was no secret to the core members of his organization.

Putting it under an external seal would undoubtedly increase unnecessary risks.

"Before, Tiandao used the Earth Explosion Sky Star to create a meteorite ball in the Kingdom of Forest, and then launched the meteorite ball into the sky as a satellite, rotating around the ninja world. If the tailed beast is sealed on it, even the Kingdom of Ghosts will be able to accurately lock it. , it will take at least ten days and a half.”

Xiaonan answered the two people's questions.

The expressions on Kisame and Beiruhu's faces softened and they felt relieved.

"Then, you two can go down and rest for now, and then leave the work of transporting the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki to me."

Xiaonan stretched out her hand, and pieces of white paper flew out and began to wrap Kirabi's body.

Just when the paper was about to wrap around Kirabi's body, there was a bang, and Kirabi's body exploded, releasing a burst of white smoke.

"?"

Konan, Beiruhu and Kisame were suddenly shocked.

Because what was wrapped in the paper was not Kirabi, but an octopus tail, lying there quietly and motionless, being wrapped in the paper.

"..."

Xiaonan fell into silence when he saw this.

Beilihu looked at Kisame.

Kisame scratched his head, an embarrassed look on his face.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have messed up. Could it be that when I was using the tailed beast jade, I took the opportunity to exchange for a substitute? I was tricked by that rap idiot."

"... Be optimistic. Isn't today's dinner in order? And I heard that octopus meat has extremely high nutritional value, which can be considered a harvest."

Bei Liuhu told a very cold joke. He seemed to be excusing Kisame.

"...Forget it, even if the target is half achieved, it is still a good explanation."

Konan sighed. Although she complained a little about Kisame's carelessness, considering that this was the result of Kisame's hard work, if she complained too much, wouldn't it make her look unreasonable?

Horses stumble, people stumble, and it is reasonable to make a mistake occasionally.

Xiaonan could only comfort herself with these words.
