Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 72 Shisui's Disarrayed Escape

Uchiha Shisui, who had lost his left eye, was drenched in cold sweat. Facing Uchiha Hikaru, who was closing in step by step, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Even during the Third Shinobi World War, when fighting against ninjas from enemy countries, and even when facing Fugaku Uchiha, the head of the Uchiha clan, he had never felt such a powerful sense of oppression!

This sense of oppression comes not only from overwhelming strength, but also from a deep-seated fear in one's bloodline!

His ancestors were terrified of this power!
If the enemy in front of him wasn't a young girl, Shisui would almost believe that Madara Uchiha, who was once known as the "Shura of the Ninja World," had been resurrected!
"From now on, you'd better stay here obediently." Uchiha Hikaru's voice was cold as he slowly approached Shisui, who was covering his left eye, intending to leave him in Hoshigakure.

As an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui's combat power was definitely at the Kage level. Moreover, Uchiha Hikaru keenly sensed that this person's Mangekyou Sharingan techniques were definitely not limited to the genjutsu space he had just used.

Within the illusionary space of 'Kotoamatsukami: Radiance', Uchiha Hikaru could sense that the other party possessed very powerful ocular power.

This power of the eye is second only to his own 'Engraved Tsukuyomi'.

So it's best not to let this guy go back!
As the nameless figure drew closer, radiating killing intent and oppressive aura, Shisui knew that if he didn't find a way to retreat, he would likely become a prisoner.

However, his opponent was also an Uchiha, who saw through his Phantom Body Flicker Technique and whose combat power was far superior to his.

How can we retreat?
Shisui's vision was gradually covered by blood, and his only remaining right eye suddenly saw a blurry red figure in the distance.

'That is…' Shisui endured the pain of losing his left eye, his blood-stained hands quickly forming hand seals.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Two plumes of smoke exploded on either side of Shisui, and the two shadow clones began to charge forward the instant they appeared.

However, the two shadow clones were not targeting Uchiha Hikaru in front of them, but rather a red-haired woman who was watching the battle from a distance and was also using the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind and seal three Iwagakure ninja.

"You bastard!" Uchiha Hikaru was furious when he saw the two shadow clones of the other party bypass him and rush towards Uzumaki Vanilla.

Vanilla Uzumaki's overall strength was only at the Chunin level. However, by using the Uzumaki clan's newly learned secret techniques and launching a surprise attack, she managed to tie up one Jonin and two Chunin from Iwagakure.

But supporting three chakra chains was already her limit.

It would be very dangerous if Uchiha Shisui got close to you!

Without hesitation, Uchiha Hikaru abandoned his plan to capture Uchiha Shisui and instantly intercepted the two shadow clones.

Zhi Shui's strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" was indeed very clever; he made the right bet!
Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy reinforcements arrived, Shisui pulled out several smoke bombs from his ninja tool pouch and threw them violently to the ground.

boom! boom! boom!
The burst of thick fog instantly obscured the entire battlefield!

Having just dealt with Shisui's two shadow clones, Uchiha Hikaru focused his attention again, trying to find Shisui's figure, only to discover that he had already disappeared into the dense forest.

"Nameless, are you alright?" Uzumaki Kasugai, having bound the three unconscious Iwagakure ninja with chakra chains, approached and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all because I was too weak, allowing them to..."

"It's not your fault." Uchiha Hikaru raised his hand to stop Uzumaki Kaoru from speaking: "The opponent is a very strong Uchiha, not an ordinary Jonin."

After saying that, Uchiha Hikaru looked at the three Iwagakure ninjas who were tied up and left the 'Tsukuyomi Mark' on them.

The Sharingan pattern of Uchiha Hikaru appeared on the backs of the hands of the three Iwagakure ninjas, then slowly faded into their skin. This 'Tsukuyomi' can manipulate and control a target regardless of distance, and absorb the opponent's chakra for one's own use.

Even in the game Ultimate Ninja Storm, the villainous boss used Hikaru Uchiha's two eye techniques, "Tsukuyomi" and "Eight Thousand Spears," to create a chakra network, thereby controlling many ninjas in the ninja world, including Naruto Uzumaki.

Moreover, this 'Eight Thousand Spears' chakra network can not only transfer the chakra of target A to itself, but also transfer the chakra of target A to target B, target C, target D, and so on, forming a vast chakra network.

"Shouldn't we chase after him? If we just let him take the information back... it will cause trouble for the adults." Vanilla Uzumaki looked worriedly at the smoke gradually dissipating from the battlefield, revealing the forest that had been mostly destroyed.

"It's alright, with Menma and me joining forces, we can easily sweep through the entire ninja world!" Uchiha Hikaru crossed his arms, full of arrogance.

That boy named Shisui is probably the strongest member of the Uchiha clan in this era.

The Uchiha clan's ability to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan sealed their tragic fate.

Not to mention, he also lost one of his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes!
------

The eastern side of Hell Valley, filled with poisonous gas.

Hinata Himon carried Shirokumo Hayama on his back and ran wildly, using the grappling hooks they had set up to cross Hell Valley.

After escaping to this place, Hyuga Himon placed the still unconscious Shirokumo Hayama under a tree, opened his Byakugan wide, and anxiously waited while looking at the opposite side of Hell Valley.

Sweat trickled down his forehead, mixing with the blood seeping from the bandage on his wound, leaving a bloody trail on his face.

"The enemy we just fought... was an Uchiha... and a very strong one at that..." Hyuga Himon recalled the battle with lingering fear.

He didn't even get to exchange a single blow with his opponent before being forced back by the kunai thrown by the opponent, and even suffered a wound on his face.

However, Hinata Hinata couldn't understand why there were Uchiha clansmen who had wandered outside the village. Shouldn't they all be in the village?
Moreover, even Shisui was no match for the enemy; that kind of power...

Thinking back to that fleeting glimpse of the two giants fighting in the forest when he was fleeing in a sorry state with Baiyun Yeshan on his back, Hyuga Himon felt a chill run down his spine and his heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Such terrifying power is hidden within the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

And then I look at my own eye-rolling...

Suddenly, Hyuga Himon, who was deep in thought, looked up abruptly, and a familiar figure appeared at the edge of his Byakugan's field of vision.

Before long, the battered and bruised Uchiha Shisui rushed out of the forest and quickly approached Hyuga Himon using his grappling hook.

"Shisui!" Hinata exclaimed in delight, only to find that Shisui was not only covered in injuries, but also had several bloody marks on his face, and his left eye was sunken in.

Through his Byakugan observation, Hyuga Hinata was even more horrified to discover that Shisui's left eye was gone!

"Run!" Uchiha Shisui shouted hoarsely, his expression extremely tense, as if countless hellish demons were chasing him from behind.

Hyuga Himon hurriedly carried Shirokumo Hayama on his back, and the two fled eastward in a disheveled state.
