Konoha: This Uchiha is very stubborn.

Chapter 425: Acceptance?

Under the watery moonlight.

A swift figure flashed past in the dark primitive forest.

It was Uchiha Shisui who had just broken through.

"I hope those misleading traces and shadow clones can buy me some more time!"

Jumping cautiously through the forest, Shisui's speed was very fast, but he did not leave any obvious traces.

He is a master of tracking, and he is also very accomplished in counter-tracking.

"Who's in front?"

Running through the forest at high speed, the giant trees surrounded by people were left behind.

Just when Shisui was not far from his companions, in front of him, several ninjas dressed as Konoha ANBU slowly approached him.

"Who are you?"

Being on the battlefield, Shisui still had some basic vigilance.

He did not approach the other party rashly because of his decorations, but kept a safe distance from the other party.

"Uchiha Shisui, we are ANBU sent here by the Hokage to secretly assist you in completing this escort mission."

While talking, this ANBU also made a few gestures towards Shisui.

"Seeing that you abandoned the Mist Ninja negotiation team, I came here to check on the situation!"

"learn!"

He knew that the Hokage would send ANBU to secretly assist him in completing this mission, but...the words of those Mist Ninjas just now still made him feel a little defensive.

However, he still had a calm look on his face.

"Can you explain why you left behind the escort of the Mist Ninja negotiators?"

Seeing Zhisui, he was still a little wary of himself and others. The leader of the ANBU didn't say much, but asked about the status of Zhisui's mission.

Everything acted very normal, like he was really here to pick up Shisui.

"The mission has failed!" After a little explanation, Shisui continued: "This negotiation is a trap by the Kiri ninja. I will report in detail to Lord Hokage later!"

"In this case, we won't disturb you and your companions to meet up, and we'll take our leave now!"

After receiving Zhisui's reply, the leading ANBU didn't ask any more questions, but just slowed down his pace and fell behind Zhisui.

The figure slowly disappeared into the night.

"It seems... nothing is wrong!"

Seeing the ANBU behind him slowly disappearing into the night, Shisui was not too surprised. After all, it was a mission related to peace. It was understandable that these ANBU would come over to inquire about the progress of the mission.

Shaking his head and looking up at a hidden mark on the tree, Shisui quickened his pace.

If nothing else goes wrong, his teammates are several kilometers ahead. With his speed, he can catch up with them in less than 10 minutes.

It's just a pity that this negotiation with the Mist Ninja seems to have completely failed.

"No, there is an ambush!"

Just when Zhisui was regretting the failure of this mission, his keen intuition made him feel the tranquility in the deep forest that was different from before.

In the forest at night, there are always the sounds of animals and insects that come out to hunt at night.

But here, except for the rustling of the leaves when the wind blew through the leaves, there was no noise, and it was unusually quiet.

Whoosh whoosh!

Shisui noticed something was wrong and immediately changed direction, preparing to leave the dark forest.

A dense sound of breaking through the air came towards his location.

It was the sound of shurikens.

Ding Ding Ding!

Even in the dark, the Sharingan has excellent dynamic vision.

After dodging most of the shuriken attacks, Shisui swung his sword and shot down the last few hidden weapons that were shot around him, and looked into the depths of the forest.

"Who are you?"

<divclass="contentadv">In Sharingan's field of vision, clusters of blue chakra fluorescence were clearly visible in the forest around him.

There are many people ambushing him, and... the number is still increasing.

What responded to him was the howling of the night wind and the approaching footsteps in the dense forest.

"We can't stay here any longer!"

Seeing the number of enemies gathering more and more, reaching seventy or eighty, and still increasing, Shisui knew that he could not wait any longer.

The longer you delay, the greater the number of enemies.

"Art fire escape ho fireball"

He spit out a fireball in the direction of the largest number of people to attract attention, and he turned around and walked away.

I have spent a lot of money tonight, and the other party has too many people, so I simply can't afford to spend it with the other party.

"It's you!"

Just before he turned around and walked a few steps, behind him, the ANBU he had just encountered stood in front of him.

Moreover, the number of opponents has also increased to nearly 20 people.

"You...are not ANBU directly under the Hokage!"

With his heart slowly sinking to the bottom, Shisui questioned the ANBU who blocked his way word by word.

If the opponent was an ANBU directly under the Hokage, why would he attack him?

"..."

"In that case, there is nothing more to say!"

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Shisui no longer struggled with this issue that he cared about.

Whoosh whoosh!

From behind himself, he took out a large handful of kunai connected to the detonating talisman and shot at these 'enemies'.

At the same time, he formed a seal in his hand and performed his own teleportation technique.

"Be careful that the other party takes advantage of the chaos and escapes!"

At this time, only one of these people who ambushed Shisui spoke.

"The opponent's teleportation technique is very weird. Each team should focus on a phantom clone. Don't let him escape!"

"Are you... Konoha's bearers?"

I should have seen the person who made the voice. Although I don't know the other person's true identity, he is undoubtedly a ninja of Konoha and an ANBU.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions sounded in this silent deep forest.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion, Shisui tried to break out, but his efforts failed.

The opponent has a large number of people and is very familiar with his own moves. There is no way he can break through in a short time.

Unless Susanoo is used again.

"As expected, they are all ninjas from Konoha!"

He should have thought long ago that no one but Konoha could gather so many ninja forces in the Land of Fire.

"Why... aren't we all companions?"

"Are you going to kill me just because I work hard towards the goal of being Hokage?"

Shisui couldn't figure it out. Haven't he always followed the requirements of the Will of Fire to protect the village and his companions?

How could the ANBU in these villages gather so many people to ambush him?

Did the Hokage personally give the order, or was someone else instructing him?

"Because your last name is Uchiha!"

Just as the Anbu who were ambushing Shisui looked at each other in silence, a gloomy old man, leaning on a cane, appeared outside the encirclement.

answered his question.
