I defected before Genocide Night

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi gave up the idea of ​​using other gods, Taki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had never thought about taking revenge on Konoha, it was always a very unpleasant thing to have his will tampered with.

In the sky, the ninja crow sent out by Itachi to inspect the surrounding environment flew back.

Taki remembered what he said that the root ninja was coming soon.

"You must have something important to ask me, right? Ask me quickly before the roots of Konoha come here."

He did not want to interact with the roots. Those root ninjas who were used as tools had lost their basic thoughts and lived entirely by Danzo's will.

Remembering the third generation's instructions, Itachi nodded and asked: "Are those words you said on the Hokage Rock true?"

"Some are true and some are false, but the matter of the Immortal Eyes and the fact that the tailed beast is coveted by others are definitely true."

Taki put away his careless look and told the story about the Immortal Eye in a serious manner.

"It's actually true!" Itachi sighed thoughtfully.

Before coming, he hoped that what Taki said about the Immortal Eyes was false.

But now, apparently that hope has been dashed.

"Will Konoha really be destroyed?"

Suddenly, Itachi thought of Shisui's eyes and seemed to see a glimmer of light: "Can the eyes of an immortal be affected by other gods?"

Taki shook his head, "I don't know."

If you want to blame Itachi himself, he didn't make that attempt in the original time and space, otherwise Taki should be able to answer in the affirmative now.

"I understand." Itachi nodded, and then asked: "Who killed the fourth generation on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion?"

"It was Obito Uchiha who saw the death of Nohara Rin with his own eyes, which made him hate the ninja world..."

Taki didn't mean to hide it, and briefly told Itachi some of Obito's story.

"He's actually Kakashi-senpai's friend." Even Itachi, who had always been calm, felt very surprised at this time.

"Can you tell me the details?" Itachi was a little concerned about Obito.

After all, it was because of Obito that Konoha's top brass further deepened their resistance to the Uchiha clan.

At this time, Itachi had even more respect for the third generation who was able to put aside his prejudices, even suppress the death of his wife, and still work hard for the Uchiha clan.

Just when Taki was about to tell Obito's story in detail, the ninja crow sent a message that the root ninjas were almost here.

Moreover, the Root Ninja has discovered the defeated Hyuga Ninja.

Taki suddenly said: "Itachi, with Danzo and Nebe's style, in order to hold Uchiha accountable in front of the Third Generation and other advisors and elders, they will probably deliberately kill the ninja of the Hyuga clan to slander me."

By that time, I am afraid that even the Hyuga clan, which had not expressed its stance at first, will have a lot of prejudice against Uchiha.

Itachi said: "I will save him."

Before leaving, he thanked him again: "Taki, thank you, and please continue to live as an enemy from now on."

The thing about the Immortal Eye is so unreal. Konoha and Uchiha now need someone who is clearly alive to stand up and bring them together.

"I understand." Taki nodded.

After Itachi Uchiha left, Taki returned to the wooden house built yesterday with the supplies.

If nothing unexpected happens, Uchiha Itachi will help him conceal his traces, and those root ninjas who come to hunt him will not waste time searching this place repeatedly.

After that, the place will be safe.

Although that Hyuga ninja may tell Konoha about his appearance here after returning to the village.

However, based on the news Itachi brought back and the third generation's indecisive character.

At the moment, Konoha doesn't have the spare power to specifically hunt down a difficult enemy.

They must be vigilant with all their strength to guard against Obito who often sneaks into the village, and the Immortal Eyes who have not yet appeared.

…

When he woke up from his coma, the Hyuga ninja was keenly aware of strong chakra fluctuations near him.

There is also murderous intent.

"It's the enemy!"

He jumped up and opened his Byakugan with a thin amount of chakra.

At this time, the root ninja, who was wearing a mask and shrouded in darkness, withdrew his kunai in embarrassment.

"Well...we are the root ninjas of Konoha!" Hiding the hand holding the kunai behind his back, the root ninja explained.

"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" The Hyuga ninja looked relieved.

In fact, as a member of the Hyuga branch, he is already very skilled at this kind of trick of pretending to be deaf and acting stupid.

"But why would Genji be malicious to me?" In his heart, the Hyuga ninja couldn't understand.

"Why did you faint here? Did you meet Uchiha Taki?" The root ninja began to interrogate for information.

Glancing at the surrounding environment with no traces of battle, the Hyuga ninja was stunned for a moment and lied in a strange way: "No, I was attacked by a group of wandering ninjas, but they left after hearing that I came from Konoha. I was too tired.

so……"

After hearing his words, the root ninjas began to think.

But the Hyuga ninja began to doubt his own motives.

"Why do you want to hide it for Uchiha Taki? Is it because he let me go? Or is it because I envy him and can defect without any worries..."

After shaking his head to clear away all the thoughts that should not have occurred, the Hyuga ninja sat back under the tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Since the arrest failed, it is basically impossible to learn the sealing technique based on merit.

He reached out and touched the caged bird mark on his forehead, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the Hyuga ninja: "There must be another way."

At this time, Uchiha Itachi appeared.

After confirming that the ninjas of the Hyuga clan were still alive, he felt a little more at ease.

Then, the root ninja asked, "Uchiha Itachi, why are you here?"

Itachi's heart moved and he glanced at the Hyuga ninja under the tree next to him.

In fact, it was his ninja crow that caught the parasite, so he knew Taki was nearby.

And now, this ninja from the Hyuga clan is actually hiding Taki's traces.

"According to the third generation's order, I must find Uchiha Taki and ask some questions." Itachi explained.

"The fact that you appear here means that Uchiha Taki is nearby?" The root ninja quickly analyzed the facts.

At the same time, with dissatisfaction in his eyes, he glanced at the Hyuga ninja sitting under the tree.

Itachi shook his head and said, "I didn't find him."

At this time, the Hyuga ninja said: "Perhaps, even we have been tricked by Taki."

He told the story about three people in his team being lured away by shadow clones, successfully dispelling the suspicion of the root ninja.

"Since you have appeared, it is up to you to search this route in detail."

With that said, the Hyuga ninja stood up and said, "I'm going to gather my team members and launch an investigation from another route."

At this time, the root ninja said coldly: "No need."

"Danzo-sama ordered that we, Genbu, be responsible for the hunt for Uchiha Taki. The rest of the ninjas should all return to Konoha."

As the root ninja's words fell, Itachi suddenly remembered what Taki had just said.

Apparently, Danzo was worried that Taki would fall into the hands of the Third and expose what he had done in the Land of Rain.

Once the Third Generation knows about those things, I'm afraid Danzo's roots will not be allowed to continue to expand.

Yes, the roots are responsible for supporting the darkness of the leaves.

But in the eyes of the Third Generation, this Yami can only be used to deal with enemies that endanger the peace of Konoha.

The leader of the Akatsuki organization, who advocates peace and is a disciple of Jiraiya, naturally has a good impression of Konoha. If it were not for Danzo's ambition, Konoha would have ushered in a long period of peace.

The fourth generation does not have to die in battle, and the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha will not be so tense.
