Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

The stream is surrounded by valleys, which are lined with green trees and blooming exotic flowers. Therefore, the traces left by the battle are very eye-catching in this southern valley.

Wakasui and Itachi, without wasting any effort, found the place where Fugaku and Ryoma fought last night.

Looking at the pool of blood at the bottom of the gully, Itachi suppressed his anxiety and tried to maintain a calm judgment: "Judging from the dryness of the blood, the battle... took place seven hours ago."

"It's almost... it was when we just set off from Jujie Mountain."

Ruomizu opened his Sharingan and looked around, and found a bloody footprint in the grass. He and Itachi immediately looked for it. The intermittent footprints extended from the grass to the edge of the stream. They continued to search across the stream and continued from the other side. To the mountain wall!

"Ninjas will eliminate traces of their actions at any time. This is common sense that all genin should have. The person who left footprints must have been seriously injured and unable to take into account these details..."

Itachi looked at the bloody footprints left at the bottom of the mountain, clasped his palms tightly, and said with a worried expression: "It's my father, he is holding my mother! My father's weight is not enough to leave such deep footprints, unless... the weight of two people!"

Ruoshui patted Itachi on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Let's go up and have a look. Maybe... we can find their whereabouts!"

After climbing up the mountain wall, the footprints continued until they disappeared completely by the cliff in the southeast direction.

The footprints can no longer continue, because... under the cliff is an endless river, which originates from the "Saihehara" in the northwest frontier of the Land of Fire and runs across the southeast - the River of Immortality!

It is called Immortal, but it has buried countless souls, both ninjas and civilians.

Itachi's heart almost turned cold.

He knew that Fugaku was seriously injured, holding Mikoto, facing Ryoma's pursuit, and fell into the Immortal River. The possibility of survival was almost slim.

"Itachi, look here..."

Ruoshui squatted on the grass in front of the cliff, looking at a pool of blood.

The color of the blood was darker, obviously different from Fugaku's blood.

Ruoshui: "Besides Mr. Fugaku, there is another person who has been here. Do you know who it is?"

Itachi said with certainty: "Aburame Ryoma! His body harbors poisonous insects, so his blood is dark!"

Ruoshui: "This pool of blood is formed by aggregation of drops. It can be seen that Ryoma followed Lord Fugaku to the cliff and watched here for a long time. In the end, he did not have the courage to jump off. The basis for this judgment is that if you look at this footprint, I will You can imagine him stamping his feet because he was unwilling to give in..."

That's right, Ryoma was also injured, and the injury was serious. Fugaku's courage, which prevented him from jumping into the River of Immortality and chasing him to the end, could only give up with hatred!

Ruoshui stood up and said.

"Also, Mr. Fugaku's ability to come here proves that his eyes were not taken away. At least, his eyes were not taken away together. He is a man who came back alive from the battle of Mt. Kikyo. I believe he will not die easily. !”

Itachi felt slightly relieved.

The sky darkened and a heavy rain was approaching.

Ruoshui's eyes moved, and he pulled out two blood-stained grasses and put them into his arms.

Itachi was confused: "Shisui, what are your plans..."

Ruoshui's eyes were downcast: "Itachi, now that things have happened... I should probably tell you that before leaving Konoha, I visited the 'Ninden Pavilion' where the secret scrolls are hidden in Konoha, and used the Sharingan to copy the "Seal" "Book", originally, I considered using it as a bargaining chip under special circumstances to "leak it to Konoha's enemy country as a threat to force the village not to take action against us," but I didn't expect that one day it would actually be used."

Itachi thought deeply and then said: "Use it... Shisui, is it the reincarnation of the dirty earth that you are referring to?"

Ruoshui said: "The reincarnation of the dirty land requires a living sacrifice. Itachi, you definitely don't want to sacrifice another person in order to confirm your father's life and death, even if the other person is a member of the root."

Itachi nodded: "Well... Shisui, you know me very well."

Ruoshui said: "Besides, I don't think Lord Fugaku will die. The use I am talking about is not the reincarnation of the dirty land, but another technique called 'Shadow Gu'. It was invented by the Second Hokage. It only uses A drop of blood can be traced!"

Itachi: "You mean..."

Ruoshui picked up the grass stained with Fugaku's blood: "Yes, we used shadow Gu to find your father! But I only copied the contents of the "Book of Sealings" without truly mastering it. Therefore, I need you to do it. A procedure..."

Itachi: "Is it right to use Tsukuyomi like last time?"

Ruoshui: "I'm afraid we will face many difficulties next, so I plan to take this opportunity to fully master the "Book of Sealings"..."

Itachi slowly closed his eyes.

"Since Susanoo's awakening, my eye power has improved again. My limit reading time at the moment is two years. It may have a greater impact on your spirit. Is it okay?"

Ruoshui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just let the horse go..."

Noisy!

Itachi's left eye opened, and the Mangekyo Sharingan released a bloody red light!

- Monthly reading!

Boom!The dense dark clouds in the sky, followed by the thunder, dropped lingering rain, washing away the filth of the earth.

……

Ten minutes later, Ruoshui carried the exhausted Weasel on his back and braved the heavy rain to the cave in the southern valley.

He played with the taste: "Let me be mentally prepared. In the end, you will be exhausted. Itachi, let me tell you what is good..."

Itachi said weakly: "There is no way, my body is not as strong as Brother Zhisui. Ever since I was a child, on rainy days, I have felt cold all over my body, and my mood has been inexplicably depressed. Sometimes I always have a premonition that one day I will You will get seriously ill and die early..."

After putting Itachi down, Ruoshui lowered his eyes: "Itachi... don't worry, that day won't happen. Even if it does, I will find a way to cure you!"

Itachi smiled faintly: "Then please be sure to heal me and put the burden of Uchiha on Brother Zhisui's shoulders. I can't rest assured. However, if unfortunately I am right, I will still Brother Zhisui, please promise me something..."

What's the matter?

Ruoshui knew without asking that he must have entrusted his eyes to Sasuke!

I won't let that day happen, Ruo Shuixin said.

In the open space of the cave, draw a ritual circle. If Shui finds an 'earthworm', Shadow Gu will also need a 'living sacrifice', but the living sacrifice is not a human, but an 'insect'. The specific insect is not specified. As long as it is an insect, it is fine. The reason why I chose earthworms is that there happened to be a passing earthworm outside the cave!

In the ritual circle, Ruo Shui pressed down the crawling earthworms with branches, took out the grass stained with Fugaku's blood, and placed it next to the earthworms.

The conditions have been met. If the water recedes to the outside of the ritual circle, a string of seals will form with both hands!

——Secret Technique·Shadow Gu Technique!

chap!

The blood stains on the grass were absorbed by the earthworm... Then, the earthworm fluttered a few times and died completely. The shadow of the earthworm disappeared and wrapped around the body of the earthworm. The earthworm came back to life. However, the resurrected earthworm had already It turned into - Shadow Gu!

Ruoshui picked up the 'Earthworm' and walked to Itachi: "Take the 'Shadow Gu'. In this way, no matter how far away you are, you can sense the dynamic direction of Lord Fugaku!"

Missing his father so much, Itachi ignored the physical resistance, took the shadow Gu, and swallowed it into his mouth!

Noisy!

Sure enough, a mysterious pulling force immediately appeared in Itachi's perception.

"It's an incredible technique. The Second Hokage is indeed a genius in forbidden techniques..."

Ruoshui caught another cockroach, took out another grass stained with black blood, and made the cockroach shadow Gu in the same way.

"Master Bei...lend me your power!"

He bit the bullet and took the shadow Gu that the cockroach turned into. Even though his chest was churning, Ruoshui couldn't express it in front of Itachi.

Itachi said: "Just now, what was on that grass was the blood of Ryoma..."

Ruoshui said: "Ah, I have to find Ryoma and determine whether he got anything from Lord Fugaku. If he really got it, I want to take it back and hope to return it to Lord Fugaku completely!"

Itachi knew full well that Ruoshui was referring to Fugaku's eyes!

Ruoshui said: "Then Itachi, after you come back to rest, let's go separate ways. After everything is done, we will meet in the country of Taki at the place agreed with the tribe..."
