Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 109 Black Zetsu: Itachi Uchiha is the reincarnation of Indra!
The oppressive and suffocating meeting finally came to an end.

Rasa walked alone through the streets of Sunagakure in the twilight, the afterglow painting the village a thick, murky dark red.

But it brought no warmth whatsoever, only a fierce magnificence.

Sunagakure is like a giant bowing his head in mourning, and the afterglow is the blood that flows out bit by bit.

The temperature difference between day and night in the Land of Wind is huge, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets.

"Kazekage-sama."

"Kazekage-sama."

Occasionally, villagers or ninjas would pass by him in a hurry, bowing their heads in respect for the Kazekage, but their eyes also betrayed a hint of numbness and weariness born from the harsh environment.

Although Luo Sha still had the same expressionless face, he nodded in response to each question and walked towards the relatively spacious but still shabby Feng Ying Mansion deep in the village.

The plans discussed in the meeting were still lingering in his mind.

"Although we don't know the current situation of Konoha's war in the Land of the Moon, it's highly likely that they are still in a stalemate with Kumogakure, but launching an offensive against Konoha as soon as possible is still the best course of action..."

"Tsunade's whereabouts are currently unknown, and Elder Chiyo's poisons are proving incredibly effective. Hopefully, she can concoct a new, more potent poison..."

"Unfortunately, that old fellow Hanzo is in the Land of Rain, so we have to settle for second best and launch an attack on the Land of Fire through the Land of Rivers."

"The flat terrain of the Land of Rivers is not suitable for large-scale troop movements. Once they enter the Land of Rivers, they will be immediately discovered by Konoha, but this is the only option..."

As he pondered, a tumbleweed rolled by in the quiet rustling sound, leaving a slight mark on the yellow sand beneath his feet. This interrupted Luo Sha's thoughts, and he looked up.

The familiar house came into view, appearing exceptionally quiet in the twilight.

His daughter Temari and son Kankuro were not there, as for the child who became the vessel for the One-Tailed Beast...

Luo Sha's eyes flashed, revealing a chilling determination, and he said in a low voice, "I am Feng Ying, and I am the father."

After saying that, he walked towards his house again, but when he was less than ten meters away from the door...

"..."

Luo Sha's steps seemed to pause for a moment, then he took another step in an instant.

His posture was completely normal, even his breathing rate remained unchanged, and he kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.

But deep within those cold, sharp pupils, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed.

The night seemed to grow even darker, and the sound of sand rubbing against each other in the wind seemed to have a sharp edge.

Centered on his footing, even the barely perceptible grains of sand on the surrounding ground became an extension of his invisible sense of touch.

He could sense that someone had entered his house; it wasn't Temari, Kankuro, or Gaara.

It was a complete stranger, right inside this mansion.

"I can't sense any presence at all..."

Realizing that the infiltrator was someone extremely skilled at concealing his presence, Luo Sha's muscles beneath his robes instantly tensed like a fully drawn bowstring.

who is it?

A bounty hunter ninja who has received a reward?
Or were they ninjas sent by a village to assassinate him?
Or perhaps, it's an opposition faction within the village that disagrees with waging war and wants to eliminate him, the Kazekage?

Countless possibilities flashed through Luo Sha's mind like lightning, but his feet maintained their walking rhythm as he stepped up the stone steps.

Click.

The door was slowly pushed open by Luo Sha, the hinges creaking softly, a sound that was particularly clear in the quiet entryway of the room.

The room was dimly lit, so Luo Sha reached out and turned on the light.

As he stepped into the entryway, his pupils scanned every corner of the house with meticulous detail, conveying an intense sense of being watched, like a venomous snake lurking beneath the sand, cold and slippery.

But the source cannot be found.

Everything seems to be business as usual.

All that could be heard was the sound of the wind and sand outside the window, and the beating of my own heart.

Luo Sha's right hand was hidden in his sleeve. His fingertips twitched almost imperceptibly, and strands of gold dust quietly emerged.

He walked slowly through the entryway into the living room, where the overhead light cast his shadow clearly onto the floor, transforming it into a well-defined human silhouette.

This should have been an ordinary sight.

However, in the next moment, the shadow that should have been still moved.

The shadow on the flat surface slowly rose, gradually revealing a humanoid head...

呲!
Luo Sha's right hand, which had been concealed within his wide sleeves, drew an arc backward with incredible speed.

However, the short blade formed from gold dust missed its target, and a dark figure instantly leaped out from the shadows, performing a backflip and landing on the ceiling.

"What are you...?"

Upon seeing the dark figure clearly, Luo Sha couldn't help but frown.

Its main body is black, as if it were a shadow itself peeled off and given a human shape, with its face firmly covered except for two scarlet eyes.

However, this 'ghostly figure' was different from usual because half of its body was painted white, making it look rather strange.

Shadow Legion - Ninja Group - Ghost Shadows.

"Shadow Technique? The Nara clan of Konoha... no, that's not right."

Rasa naturally couldn't recognize the "ghost's" identity, but he connected it to the Nara clan from the other party's ability to appear from shadows, but he quickly dismissed this guess.

He had naturally seen the Nara clan's shadow techniques, but they were completely different from the monster in front of him. This thing seemed to be more like a pure tool.

A lifeless creation that exists solely to execute a certain command.

There was absolutely no sign of life; all one could feel was coldness and emptiness.

But there doesn't seem to be any hostility?

"What are you?" Luo Sha asked in a deep voice. "And who sent you?"

"..." 'Ghost Shadow' is not a creature with actual thoughts, nor does it have the ability to speak and communicate, so it naturally cannot answer Rasa's question.

It simply scanned Rosa up and down with its scarlet eyes, as if trying to confirm something.

"Aren't you going to talk?" Luo Sha's voice turned cold and hard.

But just as Luo Sha was about to make his move, 'Ghost Shadow' swiftly reached into its clothes and took out something completely out of place with its aura.

a letter.

Luo Sha stopped his attack abruptly, and subconsciously frowned as he looked at the letter.

The 'ghostly figure' didn't express any meaning, and didn't even have any intention of delivering the letter.

It seems that its purpose in coming here is simply to ensure that the target "sees" what it has delivered.

Immediately afterwards, under Luo Sha's astonished gaze, the solid figure of 'Ghost Shadow' slowly sank into the shadow beneath its feet, like an ink painting thrown into water.

The letter, which was neither delivered nor accepted, lost its support and gently floated down from above, landing on the floor a step away from Luo Sha.

"..."

Feeling the complete disappearance of the spying sensation, Luo Sha repeatedly sensed everything around him to confirm that the guy had really left.

It was as if they were only here to deliver this inexplicable letter.

Luo Sha frowned, his gaze fixed on the letter, and lowered his tense right hand.

"Hmph, what a cowardly coward!"

A disdainful snort escaped Luo Sha's lips, but his body betrayed him by not bending down to pick it up, but instead manipulating the gold dust to cover the letter.

Then, as if drawn by an invisible thread, I opened the envelope and revealed the letter inside.

Surprisingly, there was no trap, only a neatly folded paper letter lying quietly inside.

Sand Gold pulled out the paper box and unfolded it in front of Luo Sha.

There was no signature or inscription on the paper, only a single line of simple handwriting.

"Choose the Land of Rain as the battlefield to launch an offensive against Konoha. Hanzo is now old and frail, cowardly and afraid of death. He will not refuse or resist."

For a moment, the living room fell into an even deeper silence.

Luo Sha subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his expression unchanged, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

The name "Hanzo" once made Sunagakure, Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure tremble, representing the powerful courage to say "no" to multiple major powers at the same time.

That's why he and the others, without prior agreement, chose to launch their first offensive against the border of the Land of Fire via the Land of Rivers.

But now, this letter actually says that Hanzo is now old and frail, cowardly and afraid of death...

Looking at the letter in front of him, Luo Sha's eyes flickered, and his thoughts raced.

Sending troops through the Land of Rain to attack Konoha and the Land of Fire?

It is undoubtedly a very risky path, but what if it really is as the letter says?
If Hanzo truly lost his youthful vigor and courage due to old age, becoming hesitant and fearful of death...

Then Amegakure, which occupies the center of the Land of Rain, has become a tiger that has lost its fangs!

This attack route, which goes through the Land of Rain and strikes directly behind Konoha, will no longer be a dead end, but may be a... unexpected shortcut!
Especially when combined with the pressure exerted by the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of the Moon, they can act like a hidden, poisoned dagger, piercing straight into the vulnerable spot behind the behemoth that is Konoha!
Huge risks, huge opportunities!
So, is it true or false?

Staring intently at that line of text, Luo Sha's throat bobbed up and down, his heart pounding violently in his chest.

A piece of intelligence that accurately grasps the current situation of Hanzo?

Or was it a carefully crafted trap to lure him in?

Without a doubt, this kind of secretive person is not trustworthy and must have some ulterior motive.

However, it did open up new avenues for Rasa, and the Land of Rain, which he had subconsciously excluded, re-entered his options.

"Send scouts to Amegakure to gather information and verify its accuracy, but..."

Having made up his mind, Rasa looked at the letter in front of him and sneered, "Whoever you are, do you think I'll let you have your way by trying to use Sunagakure to kill someone else?"

Regardless of whether the operation succeeds or not, he will leak the information to Hanzo.

A humanoid creature, half white and half black, possesses an extremely strong ability to conceal its presence and can also move freely underground...

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, within the Uchiha clan's territory.

Black Zetsu, who was searching for the reincarnation of Indra's chakra among the Uchiha clan, suddenly felt a strange chill.

"what happened?"

It looked around warily, but found nothing unusual. It could only suppress the chill and turn its gaze to the person in the distance.

It could sense that the ten-year-old Uchiha brat had already awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.

This talent of awakening one's Sharingan with the slightest mental stimulation is quite similar to that of Madara Uchiha when he was young.

"Is his name Uchiha Itachi?"

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Itachi sitting in the courtyard, then at the brat who was pestering him to call him "brother," and couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise and delight.

Is this even enough to prepare the consumables for fusing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the future?
Moreover, that brat named Uchiha Sasuke actually looks so much like Uchiha Izuna when he was a child...

That’s right!
This Uchiha Itachi is 100% the reincarnation of Indra's chakra after Uchiha Madara!
"However, why does it feel like the age he was born at doesn't match the time Madara died?" Black Zetsu had some doubts again.

But it quickly put the idea aside for the time being.

Regardless, Itachi Uchiha is the most likely clansman he has searched the entire Uchiha clan to be the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

"Speaking of which, Itachi's age does match, as his birth time is close to Madara's death time..." Black Zetsu pondered, "but he's too young, so even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't."

In this way, regardless of whether Itachi Uchiha is or isn't, we need to make him have the Mangekyou Sharingan first, which is better than doing nothing.

Once we figure out which of them is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, we can gouge out their eyes and give them to that person.
