I defected before Genocide Night

Sensing Uchiha Itachi's silence, the root ninja turned his head, with a pair of dark eyes on his masked face looking at Itachi, and asked: "Do you have anything else?"

"If not, please return to the village as soon as possible."

The last words were spoken to Itachi and the Hyuga ninja at the same time.

The voice of the root ninja was extremely cold, without any emotion.

Hearing this, Itachi's eyes flashed.

Without much hesitation, he nodded and then used the teleportation technique to leave.

Itachi knew very well that he must report the information he heard from Taki to the third generation as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the owner of the Immortal Eye launches a surprise attack on Konoha, the casualties in Konoha will be immeasurable.

At this time, the members of the Hyuga Ninja also arrived.

"team leader……"

After they separated from the fork in the road, they chased Uchiha Taki's shadow clone and ran for a long distance.

It wasn't until a few hours ago that they discovered it was just a shadow clone.

Then, they returned the same way and followed the marks left by the captain.

"Who are these people? Are they ANBU ninjas?" The attention of the two team members was attracted by the mysterious Root Ninja.

Glancing at the root ninja fearfully, the Hyuga ninja said: "Let's go back first!"

Under the silvery moonlight, the Root Ninja, shrouded in darkness, stood there, silently watching them leave.

After waiting for a while, they started discussing:

"Can you believe what Uchiha Itachi and Hinata Kazuto said?"

"There is no need to worry about the division of the Hyuga clan. As for Uchiha Itachi..."

"He is a member of the Uchiha clan, will he protect Taki, who is also a member of the clan?"

After a brief silence, another root ninja shook his head and said: "Danzo-sama said that Uchiha Itachi is different from other Uchiha."

"He obeys the orders of the third generation. Even if he is of the same clan, he will never cover up."

"In this case, there will be no need to search this area."

…

Taki doesn't know what the ninjas at the root think, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Now he is busy preparing for his own practice.

First of all, get some sleep and have a good night's rest to recover your strength.

Through today's battle with the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, he had a better understanding of the battles between ordinary ninjas.

In ninja battles, generally speaking, it is not impossible for a slightly weaker ninja to defeat a slightly stronger one.

Also consider aspects of restraint, such as Byakugan and Genjutsu.

If he were not in good condition, he would be subdued by the Hyuga ninja today as he was slightly stronger, and then taken back to Konoha.

Speaking of which, Konoha now knows about Nagato in advance, will this have an impact on the ending?

If it affects Naruto and Sasuke, then who should crack the infinite Tsukuyomi?

Before going to sleep, Uchiha Taki found that he seemed to have dug a big hole.

"In short, just stop Hei Jue and save my mother."

As for how to stop it, it depends on whether he can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But if you want to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan, you must be stimulated, and it cannot be an ordinary small stimulation.

Theoretically speaking, it must at least reach the point where a close relative dies.

But the road in Taki was directly blocked.

The original parent's parents died during the Third War, and even if Taki wanted to be a filial son in the ninja world, he had no chance.

Moreover, in this time and space, he did not have enough companions or people he liked.

Small fights are difficult to stimulate him, unless you spend a lot of time to deliberately cultivate feelings with others.

However, just like in the original time and space, Sasuke knew that killing Naruto would stimulate the Sharingan and gain the power to kill Itachi, but he gave up on this path in the end.

If a bond is really developed, who would be willing to exchange it for the Mangekyou Sharingan.

I'm afraid it won't work to use emotional stimulation, so Taki decided to find other ways.

"Isn't it exciting? Who doesn't want excitement?"

The next day, at dawn, he left the wooden house and came to the river.

After observing the river for a while, Taki nodded with satisfaction.

First, the water in this river is very clear and does not look dirty.

Second, there is no one else around here, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked by someone with the Millennium Killer later.

A few seconds later, Taki lay on the shore, took a deep breath, and immersed his head in the water.

Ten seconds...

Fifteen seconds...

Time passed very slowly, one minute passed.

Without using chakra to cheat, Taki felt like his lungs were about to explode. With his body severely deprived of oxygen, he felt very excited.

"Can this kind of stimulation help me stimulate the double magatama into a triple magatama?"

He is not greedy, as long as he can stimulate the three Magatama Sharingan, it is enough. At least it proves that this path is feasible.

With a faint hope, Taki gathered chakra into his eyes and opened his Sharingan in the water.

In this state, he can last longer.

"Gulu gulu..."

As time went by, bubbles continued to appear on the water, and Taki, who was lying on the shore, could no longer hold it in.

Then, he suddenly pulled his head out of the water, put his hands on the ground behind him, and gasped: "What the hell is this!"

Obviously, this type of stimulation does nothing to help the evolution of the Sharingan.

"Don't rush into evolving the Sharingan. Let's do it slowly."

Soon, Taki adjusted his mentality and began to think about how to improve his strength from another angle.

There is no doubt that the most direct way for the Uchiha clan to improve their strength is to open their eyes.

But when the Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be opened, other methods can actually improve combat power.

For example, Sasuke's Kirin Jutsu in the original time and space.

First use Fire Release to rapidly heat up the surrounding air, thereby generating updrafts and cumulonimbus clouds. Then use Chidori to guide the thunder and lightning in the cumulonimbus clouds, using the power of nature to attack the enemy.

However, even if he knew the training principles of this S-level ninjutsu, Taki still could not copy it.

First of all, he doesn't know the ninjutsu of Chidori.

Secondly, there is no thunder in his own chakra attribute, which is more deadly.

In the former, he can spend some time practicing and master the ninjutsu similar to Chidori on his own.

However, when he does not have thunder attribute chakra, he will only waste his time by forcibly practicing Thunder Escape.

"It's better to practice the technique used by the original body first."

After giving up the idea of ​​cultivating Kirin, Taki began to remember.

As far as I can remember, Uchiha Taki has always been good at illusions.

But compared to Shisui, his specialties seemed a bit lacking.

The reason why he was promoted to Jonin was mainly because Konoha lost too many ninjas during the Third War.

The number of jonin and chunin in a village must be strictly maintained above a bottom line, otherwise it will be considered in decline by the outside world.

Furthermore, it will be attacked by other villages.

Therefore, in order to maintain face and order, some small ninja villages will also lower the standards for promotion to jounin.

Part of the reason why Uchiha Taki can stand out in Konoha Village is because, in addition to the illusion of Sharingan, his three-kaya technique and perception ability are not weak.

After all, he is a ninjutsu blood successor, so his taijutsu and kunai throwing are not weak.

People like Kakashi, Itachi, and Metkai are already elites among jounin. Ordinary jounin might even be killed instantly when meeting them.

The previous Uchiha Taki was at a level where he could be killed instantly.

After traveling through time, Taki's eye power has been greatly improved, but his physical skills have become much weaker.

After using fire escape and illusion a few times, they basically fit together.

But his physical skills have always seemed a bit slow.

In every battle, he needs to spend a lot of chakra to use illusions to affect his opponent's performance, thereby offsetting the gap in physical skills between himself and his opponent.

Fortunately, so far, Taki has not encountered an opponent who is very resistant to illusions.

The only one who is more difficult to deal with is the Hyuga ninja from yesterday.

Byakugan can see the flow of chakra, and after it was discovered that the cry of the ninja crow had genjutsu implications, Taki won the battle by relying on his own good condition and hard work.

"Then, let's practice physical skills first!"

After making up his mind, Taki took out a few kunai and aimed at a big tree not far from the shore.

"Let's go!"

Whoosh!

The three kunai were accurately nailed to the tree trunk, and their positions were exactly the same.

Sharingan's visual judgment does have an advantage in kunai throwing.

But kunai throwing is not the aspect that Taki currently needs to strengthen most.

His fatal weakness is that after seeing his opponent throwing kunai at him, his body will be inertly stiff for a period of time, and he will take a moment to react.

Coming from a peaceful world, this is currently the most difficult obstacle for him to overcome.

The Sharingan can help him see clearly the direction in which the enemy throws kunai, but how to use taijutsu to avoid kunai requires more practice.

"No one is throwing kunai at me. How should I practice?"

After thinking for a while, Taki formed a seal with his hands and used the shadow clone technique.

Facing the person in front of him who looked exactly like himself, he smiled and said, "You stupid shadow clone, come and practice with me."

The shadow clone had no expression on his face and nodded seriously.

The first is a sneak attack.

Taki asked the shadow clone to throw kunai at him from random angles.

It started with a handful, then gradually increased.

After barely escaping a few times, Taki felt the pressure and quickly reminded the shadow clone: ​​"Just set it at this number. After I get used to it, you can increase the number of kunai thrown."

The shadow clone was stunned for a moment, as if it didn't hear it, and added a few more kunai on top of the original ones.

biubiu, biubiu.

A large handful of kunai flew over.

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

Taki quickly opened his Sharingan, caught the direction in which the kunai were flying, and then jumped up with a graceful attitude, doing a backflip.

At the same time, he remembered his original reaction when faced with this scene.

So, Taki also held a few kunai in his hand and threw them at them.

Suddenly, the sharp sounds of kunai collisions continued to be heard.

"You can't be greedy for ease, you must speed up the progress of your practice, and keep working hard."

The shadow clone once again increased the number of kunai in his hand...

…

A few days later, the shadow clone threw out a large number of kunai at once, but Taki was able to dodge them all.

Over the past few days, apart from eating and sleeping, he spent almost all of his time practicing.

Now, Taki already has his own understanding of how to use physical skills to avoid kunai.

However, taijutsu is not only used to avoid kunai.

Close combat is the key point, and in this aspect, he still needs more practice.

Otherwise, during the actual fight, if his opponent punches him, he won't know whether he should block it with his arms or jump back and avoid it.

After a short rest, Taki started fighting the shadow clone again.

"Very good. If I continue to practice like this, physical skills will no longer be my weakness."
