Ninja Ice House

Sora couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he saw Tatsumi again.In the most difficult and helpless times, it was he who helped him get through that period of being at a loss.

Since I can remember, those few years were probably the most relaxing time in my short life of more than ten years.

Don't think about too complicated things, just follow Tatsumi to do things, fight, rest, have fun, etc.

Over and over again, I have a lot of words on my lips, but I can't say them out.

But Tatsumi was the first to greet him:

"Long time no see. It seems that you are doing well. You are living with the high branches of Konoha Village. You look down on wandering ninja organizations like the Zahe Zhong."

"not like this."

Seeing Sora hurriedly waving his hands to deny it, but not knowing where to start, Tatsumi couldn't help but smile:

"It doesn't matter, you don't belong here in the first place. By the way, is your Sharingan still working?"

"It's okay. You know, I don't know where it comes from."

"You don't know that I know. I gave it to you. To be honest, your ability to open your eyes has indirectly brought me a lot of benefits..."

"yours?"

Sora opened his mouth in disbelief. It was the first time he heard of this kind of thing, and it really shocked his previous knowledge.

"Of course, I knew it from the beginning. Since you didn't ask, I naturally wouldn't tell you anything."

Tatsumi asked teasingly,

"You don't think that the Sharingan will fall from the sky, do you?"

"Nothing, just... I don't know when?"

"These are not important."

Tatsumi waved his hand and replied casually,

"Let the past pass. You are living too comfortably now, which makes me a little disappointed."

"why?"

"I am not talented enough, so I need children like you to help me take that step. If you can't open the Mangekyo Sharingan, I will have no hope. I have to say that this world is still very fair. I have many things, but my qualifications for opening my eyes are horribly inferior."

Mermaids who grow up quickly and mature too early have stable thoughts earlier, and it is difficult for them to have ups and downs of mental fluctuations. The more intelligent, calm, and capable mermaids are, the more difficult it is for them to open the Sharingan.

On this point, Tatsumi was extremely obvious.

"Then...you approached me with the intention of taking advantage of me from the beginning?"

"That's not true. Humans are not grass and trees. How can we be ruthless? An innocent little guy will always make people have a desire for protection. You are too naive and not suitable to survive in this treacherous ninja world. Of course, as my A host of Sharingan, I don’t hate you like this.”

"really."

A piece of pure land in his heart disappeared, causing Sora's mind to be filled with excitement. The crimson nine-tailed chakra couldn't help but overflow. The three magatama in Sharingan's eyes kept spinning, seemingly about to go berserk.

"Yes, that's it. Can the beautiful things you build with your own hands and then break with your own hands help you grow and take that step? It's probably difficult. I'm not your father after all, and the bond is not that deep. Besides, now we have With the Leaf Village as your backing, you will have more options to choose from, and it will probably be more difficult to advance to Mangekyou."

Tatsumi, who was laughing and talking, touched his chin, paused and said:

"Otherwise, I will kill all your companions. Those named Nobu and Sai, as well as your teacher, can be used as sacrifices for your growth, and then I will promote your rebellion to Konoha Village and lure your companions into a trap. , the rumors of the annihilation of the entire army have made you extinct from the world, what do you think?"

"You...really want to do this?"

"decide as things go."

"I... don't allow it."

"Can you do it? Growing up like this, what is one thing that is under your control? By the way, your captain asked you to come in contact with me, didn't he just take a fancy to our past friendship? This is also in What's the difference between using you, me, and your father?"

"Different."

The faith in his heart was torn apart inch by inch, and Kong couldn't help shouting,

"They're really good people."

"You are already a ninja, and you still use the concept of good guys and bad guys to distinguish people. You are simply hopeless. But this is fine. For me, it is more beneficial."

The more naive, foolish and persistent a person is, the better their Sharingan qualifications are.

Although I don’t have high hopes, if it succeeds, it will be a huge profit.

As if feeling Sora's chakra burst, Yamato and his two subordinates, who were supervising from a distance, quickly approached, guarding him at his side.

"what happened?"

Seeing the other party's eagerness to try, Chen Si remained unmoved and said casually:

"His tolerance is a bit weak. He can't bear it after knowing a little bit of the truth. He originally wanted to say more, but it's really a pity."

Shaking his head slightly, Tatsumi changed the subject and asked:

"Why do you Konoha ninjas come to me? We and you have always been on the same page and have no grudges. What's wrong this time? Are you trying to find me in every possible way?"

"You Zahe people are entangled with the traitorous ninja Uchiha Sasuke, and you still expect us to ignore it?"

"Then you go find him. What does it have to do with me? You won't let me cooperate with you in setting up a trap to catch him, right? That is our ally who shares life and death. How can you betray him like this?"

"you are not willing?"

"You don't offer the starting price."

We have reached this point, the arrow is on the string, and we have to shoot it. Let alone a few jounin, it is useless for Tsunade to come in person.

What's more, Konohagakure doesn't necessarily oppose the splitting of the Wind Country. It's just a limited position, and it seems to damage the reputation of the overlord of the ninja world.

The reason why Tatsumi is willing to come is just to see Sora's condition. As he is about to turn 15, if he can't advance to Mangekyo and grows older, his hope will be even slimmer.

The results are both good and bad.Sora is still the innocent and slightly stupid boy, but it seems that it is difficult to encounter drastic changes in daily life that make people lose control of their emotions.

He wanted to intervene, but he was afraid of the backlash. What's more, his boss Gu Shan Bu Shui was extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior.

If you are stupid, no one can control it, but if others ignore the rules and trample on others' personality and dignity at will, they may be punished.

There is nothing Yamato can do if he is not speculative. He is not a person who is good at negotiation. The other two subordinates Nobu and Sai are mentally disabled tools of the "Root" organization. Although the former seems to be performing very well, then It's just a superficial disguise, both of them are similar.

"Do you want to start?"

Eager to try, Nobu held the hilt of the sword behind his back and asked Captain Yamato,

"At this distance, if we make a surprise attack, we should have a slight chance of winning."

Yamato shook his head calmly and replied:

"It's useless to attack him. Besides, if he wants to run away, we can't stop him."

Hatake Kakashi recounted the battle with Tatsumi. Yamato knew that the other party had a unique skill that could manipulate time around him.

With such ability at hand, as long as you are careful, all unexpected sneak attacks will be in vain.

Since he couldn't force himself, Yamato decided to reluctantly discuss it with Tatsumi.

"Putting aside the factors of rebelling against the ninja, you have been rooted nearby for so many years and have always been safe and sound. Why did you suddenly gather a large number of people recently? What do you want to do? Start a war between the ninja villages of the small country. That’s all.”

The scale of local wars may be much smaller than that of ninja wars, but the intensity and casualties will not be much lower.

The south coast of the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Wind was originally a place where fish and dragons mixed together. Since ancient times, the Sugi family's tentacles of influence have extended to this place, and their large investment has brought a lot of wealth, which naturally attracted many people to come to dig for gold.

A large number of strange groups with unknown origins and strange purposes have gathered together, making it difficult for Konoha Village not to pay attention.

Among them, the role of Zahe Zhong, a local snake, played the most important role.

Without them stabilizing the trade routes in the south and ensuring the smooth flow of wealth, there would not be the abnormal prosperity it has now.

"Actually, all this is not worth mentioning to put it bluntly, but I decided not to explain it. Anyway, we will see the result in half a year at most, so please stay tuned."

Tatsumi shrugged, unmoved by Yamato's words.

"If you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first. Sora, next time we meet, I hope you can surprise me. Now, it's still far away. By the way, another Jonin of your Konoha Village seems to have met We are facing a powerful enemy, and I don’t know if anything will happen.”

"what?"

Yamato, who didn't feel anything, was about to ask, when he saw Tatsumi disappear in front of his eyes with a teleportation technique.The meeting ended in vain, so there was no choice but to do so. Yamato and his three subordinates rushed towards Kakashi Hatake. However, they were intercepted by Fuma Arashi, Kabuto Yakushi and the Sound Ninja.

"It's really... a close encounter. It's an opponent worth watching."

In terms of numbers, Feng Molan's side had the advantage, but the apparent strength comparison did not necessarily mean they had the upper hand.

-----------------

Just when Yamato and others were stopped by Fuma Arashi, Hatake Kakashi met one of the key characters of this mission for the first time in a long time.

Facing three S-class rebellious ninjas alone is still very stressful. Fortunately, both Lao Zi and Lin Yuri have a stand-by attitude and watch as Assistant Uchiha walks over with a ghostly long sword.

"Kakashi-sensei, I didn't know you came all the way here, why are you doing this?"

"The main thing is to see what you want to do if you stay here. And..."

Kakashi Hatake persuaded sincerely,

"What happened back then was full of doubts. You don't need to defect. If you have any grievances, you can appeal to the Godaime and you will be given justice. Now, there is still time..."

"Is it in time?"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but laugh,

"The living can still speak for themselves, but what about the dead?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kakashi-sensei, you know some things, but maybe you don't understand many of the key points? It's no longer a matter of me defecting or not, or whether I have any rift with Danzo Shimura."

Hatake Kakashi frowned when he heard this. As a prestigious Jonin, the "Konoha Technician" believed that he knew everything about the village without telling him, and most of them were understood.

If it wasn't because of Uchiha Sasuke himself, then it was for another reason?

For example, family?

When it comes to the night of blood and fire seven years ago, many people feel baffled that they encountered a disaster. A fire burned the Uchiha family residence to ashes, and the surrounding areas also suffered heavy losses.

Afterwards, Uchiha Itachi took the blame, but everyone has their own guess as to the truth.

There are different opinions on what role Konoha Village plays in this.

However, the indomitable flame giant that appeared that night was obviously Susanoo's figure, and there was more than one, and even a pseudo-Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki appeared.

Afterwards, Shimura Danzo was seriously injured, and the "Root" organization was silent for a long time. The power structure in Konoha Village also underwent major changes.

Even though he had many doubts in his heart, Hatake Kakashi still tried his best to persuade:

"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding in this. If you come back with me, you still have room to make a clear distinction. If you defect outside, what can you do?"

"go back?"

A black electric arc enveloped Onikiri's sword, directly activating the cursed seal state. Uchiha Sasuke, who was blessed with reflexes, suddenly disappeared, and then appeared next to Hatake Kakashi, raising the long sword to chop. Kakashi Hatake blocked it with kunai.

With the same fighting style and the same inheritance, the two of them also know each other well.

"It was only a few months ago that I initially understood how to use Chidori-ryu. Unexpectedly, you figured out your own set of tricks. Sure enough, it is the most suitable trump card for you..."

At this point, Uchiha Sasuke cannot deny the great help that Kakashi Hatake has given him, but this small favor cannot offset the hatred of the country and the family at all.

Sasuke Uchiha stabbed with a sword and formed a seal with one hand, throwing out a row of Chidori Chibon. Hatake Kakashi, who was unable to avoid him at close range, suffered several bleeding wounds on his thighs and arms. .

"It's a terrible growth. It seems that your experiences during these times are also extremely exciting."

As he spoke, Hatake Kakashi distanced himself, intending to use his rich experience to fight and slowly find flaws.

He was also born as a top genius, and his teacher was not bad, and his experience was much richer than that of his students. If nothing else happened, he had a great chance of winning.

For Uchiha Sasuke's powerful ninjutsu, he mainly avoided it, and at the same time used superior taijutsu to wear down the opponent's patience.

The keenly observant "Konoha Technician" has already seen the state of the divine sword Onikiri held by Uchiha Sasuke.

It was obviously a magic sword with both power and side effects, and it definitely put a lot of pressure on the body. As long as Uchiha Sasuke was forced to reveal his flaws, there was hope of defeating the enemy.

Of course, the premise is that Lin Yuli and Lao Zi, who are raiding the formation, do not take action.

In a battle between masters, every minute and every second is crucial. A single gesture can determine the outcome, or even determine life or death.

Hatake Kakashi understood that Uchiha Sasuke had no mercy and he had no room for mercy. He could only use all his strength to subdue this rebellious student first.

Not far away, Yuri Lin, who was watching the two fighting, couldn't help but yawned, and asked the interested Lao Zi:

"Can our leading brother win?"

"There is still hope, but... not too great."

The gap in actual combat experience is very obvious. After all, Uchiha Sasuke is only a boy of about 15 years old. It is still unrealistic to expect him to compete with famous masters such as Hatake Kakashi.
