I defected before Genocide Night

…

"This should be the last one!"

After casually killing the members of the bandit gang present, Taki turned around and looked around, seeing that there was no one alive at the scene.

Except for the three of them who were the initiators.

"Taki, didn't you say you want to capture one alive and take him to the black market?" Akiko avoided the blood spattered by the enemy and asked him puzzledly.

Before coming, Taki carefully told them not to kill everyone in the bandit group.

But now, he has violated his mission.

"Don't worry, these are just peripheral members of the bandit group." With that said, Taki opened the book recording the information.

It contains detailed information on the black market.

"There should be a Jonin in this bandit group who defected from the Kingdom of Water not long ago."

Taki's goal is also that jounin.

You know, Kirigakure Village can be said to have zero tolerance for rebellious ninjas. They will never be like Konoha, who hunt for a period of time and then give up after fruitless results.

Kirigakure's determination to execute traitors is greater than any other village.

Therefore, Taki was quite concerned about the reason why he could force a Kirigakure village jonin to defect.

Many years ago, Kirigakure used the Three-Tails to kill Nohara Rin. Obito knew part of the truth, so he should take action against Mizukage.

If the guess is correct, the defection of this Jonin may be related to the fact that Mizukage was controlled by Obito.

Taki rubbed his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

"I don't care what happens to the ninja world, but if the Akatsuki organization collects too many tailed beasts before I awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, the situation will be bad."

If possible, Taki hopes to influence Obito and thus delay the progress of Black Zetsu's conspiracy.

At least, Taki didn't want the Akatsuki organization to start collecting tailed beasts until he awakened the Mangekyou.

In his plan, activating the Mangekyō Sharingan may require sacrificing companions.

In order to resurrect his fallen companions, Taki would have to upgrade the Mangekyo Sharingan to the Rinnegan, or else he would have to seize Nagato's eyes.

It was impossible to face him head-on. He could only hide in a dark corner and wait for the opportunity like Obito in the original time and space.

"I don't know if Naruto will be able to escape successfully this time." Thinking of the information about Konoha collected from the black market, Taki felt even more troubled.

Naruto went berserk in advance and gained the power of the tailed beast, but as a result, he was treated and ostracized even more harshly than in the original time and space.

"Can these three generations still brainwash Naruto?"

Wherever the leaves are dancing, the fire is endless...

Shaking his head, Taki directed the two brats:

"Keep going!"

Soon, they found the location of the bandit group according to the description in the intelligence.

The ninja crow sent out in advance to explore the road flew back and landed on Taki's shoulder.

"How many enemies are there?" Yi Yagu was full of energy and looked high-spirited.

Akiko also held the blade in her hand, planning to cut the skin at any time and use the sealing technique from the blood.

Taki closed his eyes and connected visually with the other ninja crows.

Suddenly, he noticed many chakra reactions nearby.

"So many ninjas!" Taki was shocked at first.

In his perception, the number of ninjas possessed by this bandit group's base was actually much greater than what was recorded in the black market intelligence book.

"What's wrong?" The attentive Qianzi quickly noticed something was wrong with his expression.

Yiya was also affected by the strange atmosphere and began to sweat on her forehead.

"It seems that we were tricked by a gang of bandits and the black market."

Taki didn't hesitate and opened his Sharingan directly.

In an instant, countless kunai flew around.

The three of Taki came close to each other, forming a triangle position.

"Be careful, there are many enemies." After warning the two imps behind him, Taki quickly formed a seal.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A large ball of fire engulfed the kunai.

There is no problem on Taki's side, but the direction the two imps are defending will always miss one or two kunai flying in.

After all, they were still two brats, how could they possibly block so many kunai.

"ah!"

Akiko screamed.

Taki turned around and found that she was scratched by a kunai flying from Yi Ya.

"Would you like to take advantage of this opportunity..." For a moment, Taki hesitated.

After these few months of getting along, he established a bond with the two little ghosts.

However, Taki could not decide whether this bond was deep enough to support him in opening the kaleidoscope.

If the two brats died and he did not activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, then his idea of ​​seizing the Rinnegan to resurrect the brats would be shattered due to lack of combat power.

He will live with guilt for the rest of his life.

"But if I procrastinate any longer, once Nagato starts planning to capture the tailed beasts in advance, then I will have no way to stop Black Zetsu."

There was no time to hesitate, and soon, the second wave of kunai flew over like raindrops.

With a sigh, Taki activated his genjutsu.

Soon, a group of crows flying in the forest began to chirp.

The members of the bandit group who were hiding in the dark and firing kunai stopped attacking and came out of their hiding places.

They all had dull expressions on their faces.

While Yiya breathed a sigh of relief, he complained: "Really, Taki, why didn't you use illusion earlier?"

Akiko, who was bandaging the wound, rolled her eyes: "It's not because you were too weak and missed a kunai that I was injured."

"If you are strong enough, why can't you dodge that kunai?" Yi Ya curled her lips.

"Okay, the enemy has not been completely dealt with."

After knocking their heads helplessly twice, Taki began to pay attention to a certain direction.

In his perception, there was an invisible person slowly approaching from that direction.

"Hey? It's raining!" Yi Ya suddenly smiled.

Rain will only reduce the effectiveness of the fireball spell. What's there to be happy about? Taki glared at him.

"Hmph, it's my turn to show off my power." Yi Ya ignored him and stood in front alone.

Akiko pulled Taki back.

Seeing that Taki was a little confused, she explained: "Yiya's ninjutsu borrows the power of natural thunder and lightning to form a thunderstorm. If we are within his attack range, we will also be injured."

"Thunder Escape?" Long opened his mouth slightly, feeling a little surprised.

When he was practicing in Uzushio Village, he once mentioned the principles of Kirin's ninjutsu after he learned that Yiya possessed thunderous chakra.

Unexpectedly, Yi Ya realized the Thunder Escape on his own based on that principle.

You know, he only became a ninja for less than a year.

Ninjas with this talent will be trained as Kage-level reserve figures even in major ninja villages.

The Yi Ya in front begins to form the seal.

"Ninja Technique - Thunderbolt!"

In the dark clouds in the sky, after a roaring sound, thunder pillars struck down towards the ground.

"ah!"

The members of the bandit group who had been subdued by illusions were blown to pieces in an instant.

The surrounding trees were also mostly damaged.

"It doesn't seem to be as powerful as what Sasuke used in the original time and space, but it shouldn't be underestimated." Taki began to be cautious.

At this time, in the thunderstorm, a shrill scream sounded.

The mysterious ninja who was originally hiding in the woods also appeared at this time.

Taki remembered the contents of the black market information book: "Like a chameleon, it can form a protective color on its body according to the surrounding environment."

It seems that the mysterious ninja who was bombarded by the thunderstorm in front of him should be the rebellious ninja from the Kingdom of Water.

Because he still wanted to torture for information, Long had no choice but to shout to Yiya: "That's enough, stop it."

Qianzi shook her head and said, "Yiya cannot control thunder and lightning."

He was still young, and although he created a certain ninjutsu based on some whimsical ideas, he was completely unable to control the power of this ninjutsu.

"What an idiot!" At this time, Taki had no other choice but to get anxious.

If he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he might still be able to use Susano to withstand the damage, but now...

"I'll do it!" Qianzi opened a wound on her hand, and blood immediately overflowed from the wound.

Then, her blood merged with the rain on the ground.

"Sealing Hand!"

On the ground, the rainwater mixed with blood condensed into a big red hand, dragging Yiya out from the middle of the thunder array.

Finally, the terrifying thundercloud in the sky stopped dropping thunder pillars.

"Is this the result of your practice?"

Akiko, who has the blood of the Uzumaki clan, and Yiya, who is particularly sensitive to the thunder chakra, both surprised Taki.

Taking advantage of his daze, the rebel ninja from the Kingdom of Water, who had been injured by lightning, immediately got up from the ground and launched a fierce attack.

He knew very well that when the three ninjas in front of him came to their senses, he would definitely be no match for them.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to give it a try.

His movements were very swift, and he rushed towards him with afterimages behind him.

"Illusion!"

Taki suddenly turned his head and glared at him.

Then, the ninja paused, stopped attacking, lowered his hands, and stood quietly with his head down.

"I am your most trusted partner, tell me everything you know!"

Taki tried his best to deceive him with illusions.
