Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

After the battle with the Red Sand Scorpion, Uchiha Shisui did not go far, but dug out the former Sunagakure Special Jounin Matt who was following the Red Sand Scorpion from under the ruins. Come out and start trying to pry out more information about the attack from his mouth.

As a ninja who was retained by the Red Sand Scorpion and responsible for most of the intelligence work under his command, Matt's resistance was still very tenacious when facing torture, but unfortunately, even the Red Sand Scorpion himself was unable to resist. Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan illusion, so no matter how many methods Matt prepared to resist torture, they all turned into useless efforts in front of Uchiha Shisui.

"Sure enough, it was too naive for me to expect that a guy like this, who no longer has the limitations of human ethics, would leave a prisoner alive."

After getting the expected information from Matt, Uchiha Shisui sighed and used illusions to control the opponent again, then took out several blank seal scrolls and began to collect those who had been killed during the battle. Give yourself the remains of a broken human puppet.

The remaining head of Minazuki Aoba must be taken back to Kirigakure to give an explanation to the people of the Minazuki clan who are waiting for his whereabouts; the remains of the puppet of the Third Kazekage may be a bit exciting to the people of Sunagakure Village, but in the end It is also an answer that must be faced; there is also the human puppet of the Red Sand Scorpion. It would be good to let him return to the hands of Hidden Sand Village to atone for the sins of this village that he once led to war...

As for Matt, his life must be spared until Konoha's investigation team arrives and the information on the involvement of the remaining members of the Roots in the attack is handed over to them.

And just as Uchiha Shisui was sorting out the remains of the puppets in the field and placing them into categories, the tracking team composed of Nagato and Granny Chiyo also followed the previous Red Sand Scorpion and his intelligence personnel The clues left intentionally or unintentionally led to this stronghold.

When he first discovered the arrival of the two people, Uchiha Shisui was subconsciously on guard, but when he saw the mysterious and majestic Rinnegan eyes in Nagato's eyes, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to Nagato looked around in surprise and said:

"Reincarnation Eye? Your Excellency must be Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization mentioned by the Yondaime, right? I am Uchiha Shisui, one of Kirigakure's new seven ninja swordsmen. This is my first meeting..."

"Shisui? I am Nagato. When I exchanged information with the Fourth Mizukage before, I heard him mention your name. Should I say that you are worthy of being the ninja he favored? Obviously in terms of time and resources. It was said that I had the advantage because I had reached cooperation with Sunagakure Village, but it turned out that you, who was investigating alone, found and defeated the exposed enemy first..."

Because they had known each other's existence through Rei Kaguya's channel for a long time, Uchiha Shisui and Nagato, two teenagers with similar personalities and pursuits, easily got together, but when they chatted, they The revealed information really made Chiyo, an old man who has lived since the beginning of Sunagakure's establishment, feel a huge impact.

"Uchiha Shisui... If I remember correctly, you should be the Uchiha blood descendant who was taken away by the fourth generation Mizukage on the battlefield between Konoha and Kirigakure, right?" Chiyo's voice was low. , hoarse, with suppressed shock and confusion, "Have you been completely... brainwashed into the shape of Kirigakure?"

"Brainwashing? I guess not."

Uchiha Shisui shook his head, his young and childish face showing a maturity and determination that did not match his age, "I chose to follow Rei the Fourth Mizukage Kaguya of my own will, and I agree with him. The idea can bring unprecedented changes to the ninja world, and I am willing to dedicate my power, reputation and even my life to help him achieve his goals. It has nothing to do with brainwashing, illusions and the like."

"Is he such an attractive person to you?" Mother-in-law Chiyo still had an expression of disbelief on her face, "With the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, they would actually say that they are willing to sacrifice for someone who is not a relative. It’s not like my companions have sacrificed everything..."

"Didn't you already meet the Fourth Mizukage before, Granny Chiyo?"

Nagato gently patted Granny Chiyo on the shoulder and said with some emotion:

"Even if you have only met once and talked about the same topic, you should be able to tell that Kaguya Rei is a guy with completely different ideas and concepts from 'ninja', right?"

"...It's just a young man's fantasy."

Granny Chiyo was silent for a while and gave up on continuing to discuss this topic with Nagato and Shisui, the two brats who were attracted by Kaguya Rei. She turned to look at the part that Uchiha Shisui had sorted out. The remains of the puppet changed the subject and said:

"Are these all left behind when you fought against Scorpion?"

"That's right," Uchiha Shisui nodded, "Including the Red Sand Scorpion himself and the human puppets of the Third Kazekage, there are a total of fifty-seven puppets, except for the senior Minazuki Aoba who I must bring back. In addition to the puppets, the other fifty-six human puppets can be handed over to Sunagakure for processing."

"……What did you say?"

As if someone had hit her head-on with an S-class Thunder Release, Granny Chiyo was stunned by Uchiha Shisui's words.

The fact that Red Sand Scorpion transformed himself into a human puppet was an unexpected but reasonable development for Granny Chiyo. If Scorpion had not invested so much emotion in the puppet, she would have She would not preside over the development of forbidden techniques such as reincarnation. This time she and Nagato came together to pursue the Red Sand Scorpion. She also had some thoughts in it to persuade the other party to change his mind.

However, when the words "Puppet of the Third Kazekage" came out of Uchiha Shisui's mouth, and in her sight, there was indeed a person who was reminiscent of the missing Third Kazekage just from the appearance. , and there are still a lot of broken puppets of sand and iron around...

Her emotions came to the edge of collapse in an instant.

"Scorpion... was it you who killed the Sandaime?"

"I see. No wonder that so many people were deployed in the village, but they couldn't find any trace of the Third Generation. It's no wonder that you suddenly left the village without saying goodbye and haven't been heard from since..."

"Why...why is this like this..."

Seeing Granny Chiyo staggering to the broken puppet of the Third Kazekage with a lost expression, Nagato shook his head, pulled Uchiha Shisui back more than ten meters, and then faced Granny Chiyo Uchiha Shisui, who had some emotional resonance, asked softly:

"The Red Sand Scorpion, is it dead?"

"I don't know," Uchiha Shisui shook his head, "I transferred his last body, which is the regeneration core of the human puppet, to the Yondaime using psychic techniques. If the person who thinks that the Red Sand Scorpion is dead will At best, he would probably be dead by now."

"What about the intelligence? Are you sure that someone from 'Gen' caused this attack?"

"It has been confirmed that it is them, but for the time being it is only confirmed in terms of identity. Who are the specific members of 'Root', where are their strongholds, how to find their intelligence network, etc., we don't have a clue yet. .”

Listening to Uchiha Shisui's answer, Nagato nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Although it's just the beginning, it's enough for us to temporarily unite with Konoha's investigation team... After Granny Chiyo recovers, Shisui, you will go back to Sunagakure with me and wait for Konoha's investigation team to arrive. Well, since the enemy has been confirmed to be from the 'roots' of Konoha, then only by letting Konoha ninjas who know them better join our team can we completely capture them from the darkness."

"You want to borrow the official power of Sunagakure and Konoha?" Uchiha Shisui looked at Nagato with some surprise, and then noticed that the other person did not even wear the Amegakure forehead protector symbolizing Amegakure Village on his forehead, "This will Wouldn’t it be a little inappropriate?”

"There is nothing inappropriate. Everyone is trying to find out the truth about the attack, bring peace and tranquility to the victims, and prevent the war that has finally ended from being restarted. If they have the same goal, even if they each have the same goal, Even with different identities and positions, we can go hand in hand."

Nagato said calmly.

"Is that why you don't wear a ninja forehead protector?"

"Akatsuki is a peace organization. What does it look like wearing a ninja forehead protector?"
