Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

Facing Shisui, Xi Yan was full of guard, and she asked: "Uchiha Shisui, shouldn't you be dead?"

Ruoshui said meaningfully: "Ah~, in your script, I am indeed dead, but now the script writer has been replaced..."

However, Xi Yan's words had a deeper meaning, as if he was declaring that everything was under his control.

There must be an ulterior purpose here!

Xiyan's thoughts flowed: He sounded like a conspirator, completely different from the upright and upright image in the rumors. The reason why he didn't kill me and Hayate immediately was because the information I knew was valuable to him. ?

What should I do...if I don't tell him, he uses the 'illusion' on me just now.

Her beautiful eyes looked at the corpse of the white-clothed ANBU in the distance.

That white-clothed Anbu was a genuine Jonin, and his physical strength would not be much weaker than hers. However, such people were all killed by Shisui's illusion. She didn't think she had the ability to withstand this illusion.

But as an ANBU directly serving the Hokage, she would rather die than leak the village's information to the enemy!

She sighed inwardly: It seems that today... Gale and I are in danger!

Sensing that Xiyan's mood was not right, Itachi immediately corrected him: "Miss Xiyan, you may have misunderstood. We have no intention of taking action against you and Mr. Hayate. Before leaving the village last night, I talked to Lord Hokage. I hope that both parties can live in peace in the future. , the attack on the village was actually beyond the expectations of both parties..."

Xi Yan was suddenly startled. She was a witness to the battle in front of the door last night. She remembered that Hiruzen had personally admitted that he and Itachi had reached some kind of 'consensus'!

Itachi continued: "We really just want to know the whereabouts of my father. We will not take action against our former compatriots unless necessary... Of course, it is a different matter if my father's life is threatened."

Xi Yan's eyes narrowed: If it is not necessary...that is to say, if you do not cooperate, your safety cannot be guaranteed.

But... Hokage-sama and Itachi have reached a consensus, which is unquestionable. Based on this, it may not be considered a violation of Hokage-sama's order.

Finally, Xi Yan revealed the truth: "Okay... Actually, after the battle last night, Fugaku hiding in the dark was discovered by the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Danzo immediately ordered Gen to hunt down Fugaku, in front of many people in the village. In terms of ninjas, Hokage-sama couldn't openly confront Danzo, so he sent me, Hayate, and several other ANBU teams to mediate and help Fugaku escape Gen's pursuit."

"As a result, as you can see, Gen took action against us, and then he met you. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing..."

It turned out to be the case.

Although Nami changed sides midway, Hiruzen had no intention of abandoning his agreement with Itachi.

Itachi moved the kunai away from Xiyan's throat and said, "Miss Xiyan, can you tell me the whereabouts of my father?"

Xi Yan said: "Your father killed several groups of pursuers until... he encountered 'Aburame Ryoma'!"

what! ?

Hearing Aburame Ryoma's name, even Itachi couldn't calm down anymore.

He asked urgently: "Then..."

Xiyan said: "He had a chance of defeating Ryoma, but your mother fell into the trap. She stabbed your father from behind!"

Cold sweat ran down Itachi's face.

Wakasui was listening and thinking. There was a lot of information about ninjas in Shisui's memory, but there was really nothing related to Aburame Ryoma. Wakasui was once a blind man. When watching Naruto, he had a lot of information about some characters who appeared but had few lines. Ninjas with extremely low sense of self will inevitably not pay enough attention.

Itachi clenched his fists and only asked: "How...how do you know this?"

Xi Yan was hesitating how to speak.

"Ahem..." Yue Guangfeng, who was supported by her, coughed twice and said, "It's me. I have the blood inheritance limit of 'Transparent Escape'. I can hide my body. I'm most suitable for detection. I'm watching in the dark." We've reached this point, but I can't stop it, because Longma's poisonous insects are too dangerous, and there's a risk of falling just by getting close. Xiyan and I can only wait to meet up with our companions, and then make plans..."

Itachi asked: "Where was the battle between my father and Ryoma?"

Hayate said: "This canyon in the south of the Forest of Fire is called the fortress of the Southern Valley..."

Itachi and Ruoshui looked at each other and nodded.

Itachi said: "Without further delay, we must rush to the southern valley immediately. Thank you two for sharing such important information. Please return to the village as soon as possible!"

Before leaving, Ruoshui glanced at Uo Yue Xiyan's mask and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"call……"

After the two left, the feeling of escaping from death made Xiyan's whole body relax. She leaned against a big tree, sat down slowly, took off her mask, and revealed her stunning cheeks.

"I never thought that we would have to rely on Uchiha who defected from the village to escape from the hands of our real 'compatriots'..."

"Ahem." Hayate said in a low voice: "The darkness in the village has always existed. The Uchiha's rebellion has accelerated the intensification of internal conflicts. The aftershocks may last for a long time. In the long run, this may not be a bad thing, because the contradictions If the accumulation continues, the consequences of the backlash will be more serious. After this matter is determined, Konoha will inevitably usher in a new era, but... Xiyan, I don’t know why, I have a premonition that my life is not long, and I can’t see that time... …”

Xiyan was startled and quickly covered Hayate's mouth, scolding: "What are you talking about Hayate! I don't allow you to say such things! Didn't you develop this asthma problem just to save me from falling into the water? Tsunade-sama left the village I've said before that it won't endanger your life? It's just that your ninja career will be shorter! When you retire from ninja service, I will marry you and take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Gale was happy but helpless. Knowing Xi Yan's character and temper, he stopped talking about this heavy topic.

Yugao used medical ninjutsu to treat the shoulder injury suffered by Hayate and Gen during the battle.

Hayate asked in a daze: "Xi Yan, do you still remember what Uchiha said last night? He feels that Uchiha Shisui is a truly qualified candidate to be Hokage..."

Xi Yan: "That kind of devil doesn't care what he says."

Hayate said complicatedly: "What kind of person do you think Uchiha Shisui is?"

Xiyan lowered her eyebrows and muttered: "A person who is somewhat invisible, at least not like the rumors..."

Hayate said: "He could obviously use illusions to get our information easily, but he didn't do that."

Xiyan: "Maybe because Itachi is by his side."

Hayate: "I feel like things are not that simple..."

……

Ruoshui and Itachi ran towards the southern valley at full speed.

Ruoshui: "Itachi...who is Ryoma? Why did you react so violently when you heard this name."

Itachi kept it secret: "Aburame Ryoma, a freak of the Aburame clan, used to work for the root with Orochimaru. After Orochimaru left the root, Ryoma became Danzo's most capable general. Ryoma improved Aburame Shiguro and cultivated Nano-level poisonous insects create 'parasitic insects'. Parasitic insects can parasitize in the brain without being noticed, and control the other party's mind. In a sense, it is somewhat similar to Shisui's other gods..."

Itachi clenched his palms tightly, with a worried look on his face: "Mother... I'm afraid she was manipulated by the parasite and attacked my father secretly!"

Ruoshui thought to himself: So that's it...the water at the root is much deeper than I thought!
