I, Uchiha Hikaru, join the chat group

That night.

Everything was silent.

The entire Konoha Village fell into a deep sleep, with only the lights of the garrison building still on, echoing the few stars in the distance.

cluster——

With a gust of wind, several figures quietly sneaked into the woods near Konoha Prison and dispersed according to a predetermined route. After the patrol troops on the street passed by, they activated the chakra at the same time and formed the hand seal: "Illusion: The Art of Nirvana Abode!"

Phantom-like feathers fell silently.

Several guards at the prison gate lowered their eyelids in unison, feeling drowsy.

"...No, it seems like someone is releasing an illusion!"

The first guard who realized that the situation was not good was about to speak out when his neck was wiped with a kunai.

The corpse fell silently, bright red blood flowing.

The figure of another gloomy man emerged from the shadows on the inside of the prison and waved not far away: "Act as soon as possible, we only have about ten minutes to carry out the rescue!"

…

At this moment.

Over the security building.

Uchiha Hikaru, who was wearing a mini bracelet and was only about the size of a thumb, stood in the void with his hands folded across his chest, looking at the scene under his feet with a confused expression.

"what's the situation?"

Of course she came here now to witness Danzo's escape from prison and to confirm whether her "Eight Thousand Spears" were working.

Can……

What's going on with these prison-breaking ninjas?

Because he did not want to expose his existence and did not understand the situation, Uchiha Hikari continued to watch the fire from the other side, watching with his own eyes the group of prison robbers briefly fought with the guards in the prison, and then helped an old man in dark kimono escape, and then walked toward the wooden door. He ran away in the direction of the gate of Ye Village.

At this time, the surrounding patrol forces had discovered their presence.

The prison robber decisively left two people behind, while the remaining two continued to run with Danzo on their backs. Along the way, several more reinforcements jumped out one after another and escorted them all the way in a relay manner.

Although people kept staying behind, Danzo himself was taken to the entrance of the village with almost no pause. Kabuto, a pharmacist with glasses and white hair, has already taken his place here in advance.

"……I see."

The moment he saw Yakushi Kabuto, Uchiha Hikari finally confirmed——

It turned out to be the remnant party at the root!

She had indeed wondered before. Apparently according to the original plot, Yakushi Kabuto, Yakushi Nonou, Saoi's brother Nobu and others during this period should all be members of the Roots. However, regardless of whether it was her first time to destroy the elites of the Roots, When the root base was destroyed for the second time, these people were not seen.

I originally thought that these guys had been recruited by Sarutobi Hiruzen during the post-event counting process.

did not expect……

Still hiding here?

"if so……"

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the village from a high altitude, assessed the distance between the ANBU, security force members, and Yakushi Kabuto and others who were arriving one after another, and gave up on the originally planned "Danzo arrest" plan. Instead, he flew towards Kabuto Yakushi and others who had just left the village in a smaller version. Under the cover of night, he opened the kaleidoscope:

"Seal Tsukuyomi!"

opposite.

Kabuto Yakushi, who was running quickly with Danzo on his back, was in a trance for a moment, then came back to his senses, and with a bit of surprise, he raised a hand to hold his glasses and looked around.

"What's wrong, Kabuto?"

"Nothing...it seems like I was just a little bit dazzled."

"...Watch the road carefully. If Danzo-sama has any shortcomings, you will never know the whereabouts of Nonou!"

After a brief exchange, the two root remnants took Danzo and quickly left.

…

In the "Tsukuyomi" just now, Uchiha Hikaru didn't put anything in it, he simply made Yakushi Kabuto trance for a while and left a mark.

Although the rescue operation of these remnants was beyond her expectation, it was not a big problem. Those who are still thinking about rescuing Danzo at this time should be his die-hard loyalists. If even these people cannot see the fact that Danzo's memory has been modified, then the effect of the "Eight Thousand Spears" can also be verified.

As for the engraving made by the pharmacist, it is only kept as a backup.

At this time, there was an explosion near the gate of Konoha.

Danzo's escape from prison was quickly exposed, attracting more and more ANBU and security force members. In order to prevent them from following up, the remnants of the broken back gang tried their best, using various detonating charms, psychic beasts, and ninjutsu. There was even a man holding the handprint of "mutually multiplying the detonating charm" and rushing towards the crowd, crazy. Self-destruct.

Such a life-threatening gesture made Konoha feel a little frightened for a while.

Uchiha Hikari saw several familiar figures among the pursuers - Uchiha Yashiro, Nanami, Inuzuka Hana...

But she had no intention of meeting there. Instead, she took advantage of this opportunity and used Wu Kong to fly all the way to the Thousand Hands Clan's headquarters. She found the largest courtyard in the center and sneaked into it.

"It should be here..."

Entering the mansion along the window, and after walking around inside and outside, Uchiha Hikaru saw Tsunade sitting drunkenly by the window.

This woman seemed to have been drinking for most of the night. She was still in a daze at this time. She was only wearing a loose sleeveless top. From the side, she could vaguely see a pair of huge white peaks, and her eyes were almost invisible. to focal length.

This saves trouble.

Uchiha Hikaru used the transformation technique to turn into a moth, and passed by Tsunade without her noticing, cast a seal of Tsukuyomi in seconds, and then flew away silently.

——Marking Tsunade was also one of her plans.

However, she did not intend to tamper with Tsunade's will at will like she did with Danzo, but wanted to try to use the "Eight Thousand Spears" to help her get rid of the troubles of hemophobia, so that she could ask her to help heal Eri in the future.

Maybe she could also help Nezuko in Demon Slayer.

But the time for implementing this plan is not now.

First of all, Uchiha Hikaru is not absolutely sure about "using the Eight Thousand Spears to cure hemophobia".

The reason for using Danzo for the experiment is that it doesn't matter if he lives or dies. Even if the experiment fails, he can be controlled to commit suicide with the "Inner Four Symbols Seal" to seal the secret. But Tsunade is different. Once she attacks her, it is best to succeed once.

Secondly, Tsunade is still in Konoha. If Danzo defected and Tsunade overcame her hemophobia, these two things would happen in quick succession, which would likely arouse suspicion from the Third Hokage. Although it was unlikely to trace Uchiha Hikaru, she did not want to leave a hidden danger for herself.

Anyway, the seal had been placed, so it would be much easier to find Tsunade's whereabouts in the future, so there was no need to rush.

At this moment.

Uchiha Hikaru flew all the way back to the base, and only took off the mini bracelet and returned to his original shape when he entered his room.

"Huh..."

The wall clock had already pointed to three o'clock in the morning.

Uchiha Hikaru was going to go out to wash his face and go to bed.

But...

When she passed by Eri's room, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Happy New Year's Eve~
