I rely on myself

Chapter 683: Forced to Abandon Investigation

"Captain! Yong! Are you all right?!" x3
The aftermath of the conflict between the two giants had just subsided, and when Hu and Yong were still unable to react, three familiar voices suddenly sounded, and were getting closer and closer.

Three figures quickly came to Hu and Yong accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air. They were the other three Uchiha members.

Seeing the arrival of the three people, Mamoru was the first to react and asked in a puzzled tone: "Why are you three here? And Hoshigaki Kisame?"

"Uh……"

Faced with this question, the three of them first looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward to explain: "There was too much noise just now, and we rushed over because we were worried about you and Yong, the captain. As for Hoshigaki Kisame, in the chaos just now, he seemed to have taken the opportunity to leave. Uchiha Itachi should have done the same."

"That's it..."

In fact, when Hu asked the question, he realized that he was being stupid, and the answers from the three people did not exceed his expectations.

"By the way, the giant fist that repelled Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo should have been the power of Lord Lin Yuan, right, captain?"

At this time, Yong suddenly spoke, and when he mentioned Lin Yuan, there was undoubtedly an expression of respect on his face. Hu looked at this scene, shook his head helplessly and replied.

"Right? As the holder of the Eye of God, shouldn't you know better than me? But it is true that only this lord can exert such an exaggerated power at such a long distance."

Although Hu's words were exaggerated, both Yong and the other three Uchiha members showed expressions of approval, which shows how much they respect Lin Yuan's strength.

At this time, an Uchiha member came back to his senses and quickly asked Mamoru, "By the way, Captain, do we still need to continue tracking Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame?"

"Um... No, let's just give up."

After pondering for a moment, Mamoru quickly came to a negative conclusion, and the reason was very simple: "From the battle just now, it can be seen that the strength of me and Yong alone is not enough to take down Uchiha Itachi. Even if he uses Susanoo, we will have to consider how to save our lives, not to mention his companion Hoshigaki Kisame. Although we don't know how strong he is, since he can be a companion, his strength should not be underestimated. So for the sake of safety, let's give up the pursuit."

"........."

The others also knew this, but they were obviously unwilling to let the other party off so easily.

As the captain, Hu was naturally very familiar with the personalities of his four subordinates, so when he saw their silence, he immediately understood what they were thinking, and continued to persuade them helplessly.

"Okay, don't be so embarrassed. Don't worry. Although we have given up on tracking them, it doesn't mean we will let them go so easily. After a short rest, we will return as quickly as possible and report the news. The higher-ups will definitely not let these two powerful outsiders run around. They will definitely send stronger people and troops to track them down. Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame will definitely not have a good ending, so you can rest assured."

"Hehehe..." x4
Hearing this, Yong and the other four naturally felt relieved, but at the same time they also felt embarrassed that their thoughts were seen through, so they didn't know how to answer and could only smile and pretend to be stupid.

The guard naturally would not expose this directly. After all, that would only be embarrassing, so he just let the four people go.

On the other side, in the boat, Hoshigaki Kisame carefully put Itachi down. At this time, Itachi was in a very miserable state, with a lot of blood flowing from his eyes, and he was still gasping for breath.

After a long while, when he felt a little better, Itachi said to Kisame this time: "Thank you for your help, Kisame."

"No, it's just a small help, nothing big. Anyway, what should we do next, Mr. Itachi? It will be difficult to continue exploring the situation in the Snow Country after being discovered."

While Kisame was saying it was nothing, he was also discussing their mission. After all, the organization they were in now had given them the order to investigate the situation in the Snow Country, but under the current circumstances the mission was obviously difficult to complete.

“…Then give up.”

After thinking for a moment, Itachi announced his decision, which surprised Kisame. After all, the Uchiha clan was now in the Snow Country, and from Itachi's own standpoint, he should have tried to find out as much as possible, but now he gave up so easily.

Kisame was naturally very curious about this, and tried to test him: "Is it okay? The mission was given by the leader himself. If we give up like this, I'm afraid the leader will be the first to be upset."

After hearing what Kisame said, Itachi did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the other party and did not see any flaws, then he slowly explained.

"It doesn't matter. We have learned that the Uchiha clan is now in the Snow Country and that there is a force that appeared in the battle just now. This information is enough to make up for the failure of the mission. I believe that the leader will understand our choice after learning this, and will surely think of other ways to get information about the Snow Country."

After these well-reasoned words, Kisame was convinced, at least on the surface.

"Mr. Itachi, what you said makes sense. Let's do it this way... Oh! It's great that it can be solved so easily. I was worried about how to explain to the leader if I just gave up the mission. If I continue to investigate, we have already been discovered by the Snow Country. It's too big for the two of us to face the power of a country. It's great that you have made such a good suggestion, Mr. Itachi."

Facing Kisame's series of praises, Itachi's face remained calm as always, and he said, "These are not important, and it's too early to be happy now. After all, we are still in the Snow Country, and it's not easy to leave. After all, it's different from when we came in. At that time, we were not discovered. Now that we have been discovered, those border patrols will not let us leave so easily."

"Mr. Itachi, you are right. This is indeed a problem, but compared to the previous problems, this one is much easier to solve."

"I hope so." Itachi did not say much about this.

In this way, the small boat the two of them were riding on headed towards the border of the Snow Country at full speed, trying to leave the Snow Country as soon as possible before the patrol troops of the Snow Country found them.
