Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 597: Fake Death to Escape
Looking at the little girl Honglian, she didn't care about the group of senior ninjas present, and threw two corpses of Uchiha clan ninjas on the ground without any regard for the presence of the senior ninjas, with an appearance of domineering.

Even Hoshigaki Kisame, the head of Kirigakure, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In order to prevent this seemingly overly arrogant kid from saying anything nonsense, Hoshigaki Kisame took the initiative to ask before everyone else.

"Honglian Chunin, wasn't your team on vacation before? What's the situation with these two Uchiha ninjas? And what about Uchiha Shisui? I remember he was with you, right?"

As he spoke, Hoshigaki Kisame also glanced at Morino Ibiki and Gekkou Hayate, who were following behind Guren and looked a little depressed.

Obviously, Hoshigaki Kisame wanted to give the right of interpretation of this matter to Honglian from his own village.

Minato Namikaze's face on the side still looked unhappy.

Under normal circumstances, if a ninja from another village killed a Konoha ninja and dared to dump the body in front of him so openly, it would definitely rise to the level of a diplomatic dispute.

However, considering the previous death of Uchiha Fugaku, Namikaze Minato did not interrupt Hoshigaki Kisame's questioning at this time.

Upon hearing this, Honglian first looked at the important figures present and the more than 30 Uchiha corpses lying on the ground, and then he explained what had happened before with a somewhat strange expression.

A few days ago, these people from the Uchiha clan appeared in the Hidden Rain Village and captured several people.

Since their plan was temporarily suspended, Honglian and his companions were naturally captured and taken to a safe house in the Rain Country and hidden there.

But, it's a little different from others.

In fact, Honglian was not controlled by the illusion of the Uchiha clan ninja from beginning to end.

The reason for this is that before the third round of the Joint Chunin Exam, Jianchuan Tachibana gave special training to several disciples in order to help them fight against Uchiha Shisui.

The most important thing was to teach the little guys the secret technique of "Mysterious Guardian" which was specifically used to counter the Sharingan illusion.

However, even Honglian herself did not expect that although she failed to defeat Uchiha Shisui in the Chunin Exam, she saved her life two years later with this secret technique.

Originally when she was captured, Honglian relied on the "mysterious protection" to resist Uchiha's illusion control.

But at that time, there were more than a dozen Uchiha jonin present, and Honglian knew that as a mere chunin, he would have no chance of escape even if there was a sneak attack, let alone saving his other teammates.

Therefore, Honglian never showed any abnormality and always kept in sync with the other controlled friends.

Until this morning, the Uchiha Chunin who had been in charge of guarding them suddenly changed his behavior and prepared to kill them all.

As a last resort, Honglian had to give up her disguise and choose to fight back.

However, after killing the two Chunins who were guarding them, Honglian discovered that there were other Uchiha ninjas near the safe house where they were originally imprisoned.

Although Honglian was confused and didn't understand the situation, he quickly released the illusion control for several other teammates and fled back to the maintenance base together.

"As for Shisui, he was not imprisoned with the rest of us from the beginning. I have no idea where he is now or whether he is still alive."

After listening to Honglian's story, a look of pain appeared on Minato Namikaze's face again.

Even Minato Namikaze himself didn't notice that since the night of the Nine-Tails, the signature sunny smile on his face had become less and less common.

On the contrary, the Nine-Tailed Fox in Minato Namikaze's body sounded so harsh to his ears at this moment.

But in fact, it was not just Minato Namikaze, even Hoshigaki Kisame and others who were not from Konoha were also shocked at this moment.

'Killing a close relative to awaken the Kaleidoscope', 'attacking the head of one's own family', 'intending to launch a rebellion'. Each of these things, no matter which one, can be called a crazy act.

When all these things are put together, the "little thing" of Uchiha Shisui awakening the Mangekyō seems insignificant.

Now, the people present here don’t know whether it is good or bad for Konoha if all the Uchiha who intended to rebel died here.

However, it is foreseeable that there are definitely more than just these fighters involved in this matter among the entire Uchiha clan.

How to deal with the subsequent matters will probably be a headache for Konoha.

In the end, Namikaze Minato just sighed, and with a dark face, he took all the Uchiha corpses, as well as the two people related to the matter, Gekko Hayate and Morino Ibiki, and set off back to Konoha.

Go back a few hours in time.

Uchiha Fugaku, who everyone thought was dead, was now alone in a valley in the Land of Rain. He looked at the unconscious Uchiha Shisui in front of him and reconnected with Jianchuan Tachibana.

"Lord Jianchuan, I have brought Shisui out."

Jianchuan Ju, who was on the other side of the communication, looked at Uchiha Fugaku's left eye, which had completely lost its luster, as shown by the "Phantom Body Technique", and just nodded slightly to show his understanding.

"I will find a way to restore your eyes later."

Uchiha Fugaku didn't care much when he heard this.

"It's okay, Lord Jianchuan. This eye was completely blind two years ago. It won't have any impact on my combat power now."

Uchiha Fugaku did not lie when he said this, because due to frequent predictions of the future, the power of his left eye had been completely exhausted two years ago.

However, as long as the brief foresight of his left eye remains and Susanoo can be used, it will not be too much of a problem for Uchiha Fugaku.

Otherwise, he would not have been so decisive in choosing to fake his death and escape from this incident.

Seeing this, Jianchuan Ju didn't explain any further. In fact, for him who had a large number of White Zetsu cells and various extraordinary skills, it was not a difficult task to restore Uchiha Fugaku's eye power.

It won’t be too late to tell him about this kind of thing after Uchiha Fugaku actually joins the Hidden Mist Village.

On the contrary, it was the Uchiha clan's "rebellion" this time.

In fact, Jianchuan Ju didn't know what had happened until the whole thing was over.

Even he hadn't expected that the Uchiha clan, after having a few normal people 'eliminated' by Uchiha Fugaku, could go crazy to this extent.

Originally, Jianchuan Tachibana wanted to let Uchiha Fugaku stay in Konoha for a few more years.

Although in terms of intelligence, he, as the clan leader who has intentionally relaxed management in the past two years, may not be able to bring much help to the Hidden Mist Village.

After all, he is one of the few top combat forces in Konoha today, and perhaps he can play an unexpected role at some critical moments.

However, since the other party chose to take the opportunity to fake his death and escape, Jianchuan Ju would not blame him for anything.

"How are you going to deal with the remaining Uchiha in Konoha?"
