I defected before Genocide Night

After Uchiha Taki escaped from Konoha's pursuit and arrived at the edge of the Land of Fire, he could finally breathe a little easier.

But he didn't take it lightly.

Far away from Konoha Village, although the possibility of being caught up is much smaller.

But it also means that he may encounter ninjas from other ninja villages.

Although several years have passed since the Great Ninja World War, in order to prevent their own villages from being besieged, the five major nations have been secretly collecting intelligence.

At this time, Takinoha's identity as a traitor will become particularly popular.

What's more, he himself is a member of the Uchiha clan who possesses the Sharingan blood successor.

Taki smiled, a little bitterly, "Capturing me means capturing a lot of information about Konoha, and it also comes with a pair of Sharingan."

Therefore, now is not the time to be arrogant.

Unless he can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and possess the unique eye technique, the ninja world cannot be said to be very safe.

Of course, it's not entirely clear how dangerous it is.

After thinking for a while, Taki adjusted the black cloak on his body.

He didn't wear a family uniform with a table tennis racket pattern on it. As long as he didn't take the initiative to expose his Sharingan, basically no ninjas from other villages would target him.

However, it is not ruled out that Konoha will take his photo and post a bounty on the black market.

So it's better not to show your face.

"Next, find a safe and hidden place and get familiar with other ninjutsu first."

On the edge of the Land of Fire, in some relatively remote places, except for villages that made a living by farming, Taki saw no trace of other ninjas.

After all, it is a backward area. Even ninjas, most people will not come here unless necessary.

"Then I'll stay here and practice hard for a while!"

Taki is quite satisfied with this quiet village.

Not intending to alarm anyone in the village, he used the teleportation technique to sneak inside quietly.

Behind the village, there is a quiet and secluded river valley, and Taki built a simple wooden house next to it.

After spending half a day to build it, looking at the wooden house that was small but always felt empty, Taki closed his eyes and thought for a while, then clapped his hands fiercely and suddenly realized: "I still need to buy some daily necessities."

He will practice cultivation for a period of time next, and may stay here for several months.

"Go back quickly, don't leave too many traces."

After resting for a while, Taki took advantage of the sunset and dark time to leave the village.

The closest city to him is between the ruins of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Whirlpool. You only need to take a boat at the pier to go to the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

But Taki doesn't have that idea for the time being.

The Kingdom of Whirlpool has been destroyed, and now there is only ruins left. Going there will not be of much help to him.

The most urgent task is to practice more practical ninjutsu according to the memory left by the original body.

If he doesn't master some ninjutsu, he won't be safe even if he escapes to another country.

This was one of the reasons why he took the risk of being hunted by Konoha and stayed on the edge of the Land of Fire.

…

After entering the city, Taki first found an inconspicuous hotel and had a good night's rest.

For several days, he had been using chakra intensively on the road, with only a small amount of rest time.

It's just that the excitement after escaping Konoha prevented him from noticing his tired state.

In this state, his physical and mental strength dropped to a critical point of weakness.

"You need to have a good rest, otherwise things will be very bad if you encounter a chase nin."

Slept groggily all night.

The next day, when Uchiha Taki woke up, it was already noon.

"Fortunately, I brought enough money with me before defecting."

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, he counted the banknotes he carried with him.

"It seems like hundreds of thousands of taels!"

It seems like a lot, but according to the prices in Naruto World, it's actually not much.

You can't even buy half of Asma's head.

“If I spend it all, where will I earn it?”

After carefully putting away the banknotes, Taki had to consider the source of his next expenses.

Although he had to live in seclusion and practice, he couldn't live in hiding in that place for the rest of his life.

In short, you need to find a way to make money before you spend all your money.

Now, let's go buy daily necessities.

After getting dressed, Taki put on the mysterious black cloak.

Putting on the hood attached to the cloak, he looked in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

Great, no one can recognize me now.

After leaving the hotel where he stayed last night, Taki discovered that during the day, this seaside city was actually quite lively.

There are vendors selling things everywhere.

"Rice, salt, toothbrushes and other items are essential."

The vendors who were selling things expressed their confusion when they saw such a mysterious guy frantically purchasing these grains.

Considering his own concealment, Taki gave a cold "hum", successfully making these vendors withdraw their inquiring eyes and obediently shut their mouths.

Although he was very careful, on the way back carrying these supplies, Taki still encountered an uninvited guest.

"Hey, that sneaky guy, please leave what you are carrying. I can spare your life!"

A guy who looked like a short-lived ghost was blocking the road.

There are no chakra fluctuations in this guy's body, at least Taki can't sense it.

So, in silence, Taki took out a kunai.

The guy who was originally blocking the road and planning to rob him changed his expression after seeing the kunai.

"Haha... you are a ninja!" After laughing twice, the guy took a few steps back.

Taki held the kunai, wondering whether he should end the guy's life at once, or just blind one of his eyes and fight him off.

"Um...I was joking just now."

Before Taki could do anything, the funny guy quickly slipped away.

Taki initially didn't take such an incident seriously, but after walking for a while, he regretted it: "Maybe I should kill him."

There are very few ninjas in this place. Once that guy reveals his information, there is a certain possibility that Konoha's pursuing ninjas will come.

"But, it doesn't matter anymore."

Taki didn't know how to explain it. After escaping from Konoha, he had a feeling in his heart.

He felt as if he had become stronger.

"It must be an illusion!" After a brief smile, Taki continued to carry supplies and planned to return to the cabin.

Walking to the path next to the rice fields in the village, he bumped into the chasing ninja sent by Konoha.

"A ninja from the Hyuga clan?!"

At that moment, he immediately squatted down and carefully observed the movements around him.

There was no hiding place nearby, and Taki didn't sense the aura of other ninjas.

But that didn't stop him from staying vigilant.

"Go and see if there are any other Konoha ninjas around here!"

Taki consumed part of his chakra and summoned his ninja crow, letting it hover nearby to monitor.

Under the blazing sunset, individual crows hovered in the air, making strange cackling sounds.

The Hyuga ninja who was originally sitting on the grass and resting against a tree trunk seemed to notice something and suddenly opened his eyes.

"White eyes, open!"

The other party's cautious look made Taki understand that this ninja was really the only one around here.

"Do it before he finds me!"

At that moment, Taki threw out a kunai.

"Fire Release - The Technique of the Big Fire Ball!"

A huge fireball struck, and the Hyuga ninja just opened his Byakugan, but with his high agility, he jumped a few steps back and avoided Taki's attack.

At the same time, this ninja of the Hyuga clan looked towards the direction of the fireball attack.

When he used the fireball technique just now, the hood on Taki's head slipped down. At this moment, under the reflection of the setting sun, the Hyuga ninja could see clearly.

"Uchiha Taki?" He was a little surprised, with a look of fear on his face.

"No, according to the speed at which Uchiha Taki used the teleportation technique to escape, he shouldn't appear here at the same time as me at this time! Unless there is a trap he set nearby."

The Hyuga ninja looked around cautiously, worried that he would fall into the ambush set by Uchiha Taki.

After confirming that Taki was the only enemy at the scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, but did not lower his vigilance.

"Uchiha Taki, you betrayed Konoha and blew up the Hokage Rock. I was ordered to arrest you."

While speaking, the Hyuga ninja put his hands behind his back, and a black insect came out of his sleeves and flew away quietly.

"This is the parasite of the Aburame clan. He is sending a signal to his companions."

At that moment, Taki took action again, not giving the other party a chance to delay.
