It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

After all these years, the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Armor and physical strength have already approached the level of the Third Raikage, A. Apart from Dust Release, there are probably very few things in the world that can break through his defenses, let alone leave him in this half-dead state. As expected, the Akatsuki are no pushovers.

After seeing the flames extinguished, Killer Bee carried his older brother and rushed into the crowd, where the medical ninjas treated him.

Zhi Xue snapped her fingers, causing the flame array behind her to dissipate. Then, looking at the circle of ninjas surrounding her, she crossed her arms and said, "Third Division Captain of the Akatsuki Assault Unit, Xu Tong, reporting for duty..."

Standing nearby, Zhishui looked at the unusually indifferent Zhixue, and felt as if something inside her heart had broken.

The last time we met, she was such a cute little sister who would cling to his arm and act all sweet. Why has she changed like this now?

Although the Raikage had already been eliminated, the attack on Shiki continued unabated, with all sorts of dazzling ninjutsu and ninja tools being thrown at her.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Bagua·Kongzhang!"

"Turong Tulong Spear!"

Zhi Xue's blood-red pupils reflected the various attacks, but her expression remained indifferent. With just a raise and a clench of her hand, a black torrent rose from the ground, repelling all the attacks like a tornado.

Seeing Zhixue unleash Magnet Release, many people present turned their attention to Chiyo, who was the Kazekage.

Chiyo:……

Don't look at her, she doesn't know how this person obtained Magnet Release either.

"Charge!" Seeing the sandstorm subside, the excited Allied Shinobi Forces charged towards Shizuka. Shisui hesitated for a moment, then drew the Kusanagi Sword that Shizuka had given him and charged forward...

Black Zetsu, who had infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces, looked at Shiki, who was still fighting against them, and felt a pang of sadness.

"That brat is really bold, daring to break in all by herself. But what she said earlier has disrupted my plans again. It seems that undermining the will of the Allied Shinobi Forces from within is not a good idea."

Hei Jue was also somewhat angry about Zhi Xue's falling out with her own brother.

He originally intended to exploit the internal conflicts within Konoha to undermine the unity and cooperation of the Allied Shinobi Forces, but he never expected that this brat would pull such a stunt, using the pretext of a surprise attack to sever his relationship with the Hokage. What a clever tactic.

"Oh dear, it seems the plan has failed. Should we, the White Zetsu who stayed here, continue our operation?" The other half of the White Zetsu on Black Zetsu asked him.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu revealed a dangerous smile.

"This is only one aspect of the conflict. Since the Hokage can't discredit them, let's look for conflicts in other countries. The previous Shinobi World Wars lasted for so many years; the hatred and resentment haven't faded. These are all good things to use to dismantle them..."

Black Zetsu hid behind the tent, watching Zhi Xue still dancing with the crowd, and slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.

On the battlefield, Zhi Xue brandished her sword, her crimson eyes flashing as she moved nimbly through the crowd. Every movement she made seemed like a butterfly fluttering in the air, adding a vibrant splash of red to the battlefield.

Blood was still splattering, and the scorching white blade of the Kusanagi sword evaporated the traces of blood on it, like a ray of light that brought slaughter and took away life.

Zhi Xue used her feet to adjust her body's center of gravity and dodge several attacks of the Wind Demon Shuriken. She then released several chakra threads to pull the people on both sides towards her, blocking the dense barrage of shurikens.

Water Release: Water Chaos Wave!

The moment Zhixue threw the corpse off her body, several torrents rushed over from a distance. Zhixue also used the Water Transformation Technique to merge into the ninjutsu and sneaked up behind the ninja who had launched the attack, slashing down with the Kusanagi Sword.

Pong!

As Shisui watched the sparks flying from the friction between the two Kusanagi swords, he turned his Sharingan gaze toward Shisui beside him.

"The Hokage himself is actually fighting? What an honor..."

As Zhi Shui sensed the faint scent of blood mixed with the unfamiliar address emanating from Zhi Xue, he felt an indescribable pain and sorrow welling up inside him.

"What exactly made you become like this? Answer me..." Shisui said, pressing down on the Kusanagi sword and looking into Shisui's scarlet eyes.

"I am the mastermind behind the Fourth Shinobi World War. As the Hokage, shouldn't you want to kill me and cleanse the house?"

Zhi Xue resisted looking into Zhi Shui's eyes, then gave a wicked smile and hinted at something to Zhi Shui.

As the Hokage, one cannot have any blemishes; rumors can be deadly, just like what happened to White Fang.

Having a younger sister from the Akatsuki organization must be a significant threat to him right now, especially considering it's the special time of the Fourth Shinobi World War...

Chapter 264, Unbelievable

While Shizune was still fighting Shisui, the Fourth Raikage had already been taken to the medical tent for treatment. After examining him, Shizune breathed a sigh of relief and said to Killer Bee, "His body damage isn't particularly serious, but his chakra consumption is very high. I'm afraid he won't be able to move for the next two weeks."

"What?!" Killer Bee was also somewhat surprised when he heard what Shizune said.

Given my brother's physical condition, how could he be in such a state in just a few seconds? Was that fire really that terrifying? If the fire hadn't been extinguished, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

On the battlefield, Shiyuki's Kusanagi sword danced as she engaged in a contest of body-flickering techniques and swordsmanship with Shisui.

Two similar divine weapons, two blood relatives, but they clashed because of their different experiences and stances.

Shisui understood Shisue's implication and his pupils dilated, but he still felt uneasy. If Shisue severed ties with him in order to help him secure his position as Hokage, it would be a very unworthy thing.

He loved the village, but his love for the village wasn't limited to this one way. Becoming Hokage was simply because he didn't want to let down everyone and his clan. Even without him, he was still Uchiha Shisui of the village, but once his sister was gone, it would be really hard to find her again!

“Zhixue, I don’t know what you’ve been through, but the Akatsuki is not a good place. If you continue to stay there and turn your blade against your own people, the consequences will be unimaginable…”

A gentle breeze from the Kusanagi sword ruffled Shiki's hair. Looking at the exquisite face so close to her, Shisui felt a surge of hope as he watched Shiki seemingly loosen her grip. He then reached out and touched Shiki's head.

But just as Shisui reached out to touch Shisui's head, the crimson light hidden in his eyes made him feel dizzy.

Seeing Zhishui faint, Zhixue rubbed her eyes as well. She had done enough to convince others that her brother had nothing to do with her.

She has already used genjutsu to tell her brother her purpose and the true nature of the Fourth Shinobi World War. As for the rest, it's up to him to see how he interprets it. Hopefully, he will understand after the Fourth Shinobi World War...

After glancing at Onoki and the Mizukage who seemed to still be observing, Shiyuki raised the Kusanagi sword in her hand and aimed it at the unconscious Shisui.

I've already acted like this, shouldn't you at least try to save her? Otherwise, she'll be in a very difficult situation.

Seeing that Zhixue seemed really about to kill her own brother, sure enough, Onoki's Dust Release instantly struck behind Zhixue.

"This guy really is a demon..." Onoki said, stroking his beard and glancing at Shisui with some surprise as he watched Shisui being carried back by several Uchiha clansmen.

"She actually attacked her own brother so brutally? Could it be that the rumors about the Hokage being an inside agent of Akatsuki are all false?" The ninjas who witnessed Zhixue raising her sword nearby were also somewhat surprised by what happened and even more wary of Zhixue's power.

The ability to instantly defeat both the Raikage and the Hokage is truly unimaginable.

After glancing at the crowd around her and achieving the desired effect, Zhi Xue watched as the Allied Ninja forces arrived in the distance, then fired a smoke bomb and disappeared.

A day later, the Allied Shinobi Forces gradually moved closer to the Land of Frost. Kakashi, Sasuke, and the others, having learned of this, found it hard to believe that Shiseido would do such a thing.

Zhi Xue was personally driven away by Zhi Shui, and she even attempted to kill her brother just days before? How is that possible?!

"Are you sure this is real? Maybe someone is pretending?" Kakashi asked an ANBU member as he sat down at the table.

"Kakashi-senpai, I saw it with my own eyes, there's no way I could be wrong. Besides, if it was a transformation jutsu, how could the Five Kage possibly tell the difference?"

“Impossible, Zhixue is definitely not that kind of person…” Kakashi frowned, then thought of the rumors that had been circulating in the military camp.

Was Zhixue's entire performance just an act to protect Shisui's position? But that doesn't make sense. Wouldn't it have been better for Zhixue to simply admit that she was a spy secretly planted in Akatsuki by Shisui? Having come this far, does she really still want to stay in Akatsuki?

At the Uchiha clan's camp, Sasuke was the first to disbelieve the news about Shizuru.

Sister Zhixue personally rescued him from the danger of Pain's invasion just over a month ago. How could he possibly be this kind of person?

"Nii-san, this news must be fake, right? How could Sister Zhixue be that kind of person? Someone must be trying to spread rumors. Once I find that guy, I'll make him taste the power of the Uchiha clan!" Sasuke angrily rolled up his sleeves and ran out looking fierce, but he was pulled back by Itachi not long after.

“Sass, this is a fact witnessed by the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Five Kage. Even if you argue with them, it won’t get you anywhere,” Itachi said, shaking his head as he pressed Sasuke down on the bed.

"Impossible! Sister Zhixue would never do such a thing. Someone must be impersonating her to frame her!"

Erzhuzi found it hard to imagine that the cute yet slightly silly older sister in his memory would actually think of killing her own brother!

Itachi sighed as he watched Sasuke run out of the tent again.

Besides Shisui, the only people in Konoha who were close to Shisui were probably Sasuke and Kakashi. I imagine they would both find it hard to accept this news.

After Sasuke impulsively left, Fugaku Uchiha also walked in from outside.

"Father."

Fugaku nodded to Itachi, then sat on the bed and asked, "You must have heard about the news about Uchiha Shiseido, right? Do you have any other thoughts on it?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment when he saw Fugaku's expectant eyes and said, "I don't know Shiyuki very well, but her actions are indeed beneficial to Shisui and can also stop some rumors from spreading within the army. However, I don't know whether she is one of our own or an enemy."

“Your analysis makes some sense. We don’t know Uchiha Shiyuki’s true intentions, but her strength is undeniably formidable. It just so happens that Shisui should be waking up around this time. Go and hear his opinion later.”

Itachi nodded to Fugaku, then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Meanwhile, Shisui, who was in the medical department behind the army and was roommate with Raikage, woke up from a nightmare and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his ward soaked with cold sweat.

"So, it was all just a dream after all..."

Just when Shisui thought everything he had experienced was a dream, he was stunned to see Raikage in the ward with bandages on.

Shisui:…

Chapter 265, Experimental Ninjutsu

While the Allied Shinobi Forces were still advancing into the Land of Frost, Zhixue was speechless as she watched the many civilians fleeing the disaster in the city.

Although this is not a war zone planned by the Akatsuki, there are still many people who are afraid of war.

Seeing a little girl clutching a doll being bumped by an adult, Zhixue stepped out of the dark alley and helped her up.

Zhixue picked up the plush rabbit from the ground, dusted it off, and then put it into the little girl's hand.

"Thank you, sister..." the little girl timidly thanked Zhixue before leaving. However, when passersby happened to see Zhixue's angelic face reflected in the water, their pupils widened in shock.

"It's Akatsuki! Everyone run!"

"Help! I don't want to die yet!"

Seeing the increasingly noisy scene and the countless figures moving away from her, Zhi Xue sighed and walked towards the steamed bun shop in the distance.

Xiao didn't seem to have done anything to these ordinary people, so why were they so afraid?

Sitting inside the steamed bun shop, Zhixue exchanged a glance with the shop owner who had just come out carrying a bundle.

Looking into Zhixue's big, innocent eyes that also held a hint of pitifulness, the owner of the steamed bun shop blushed.

Ah, why would such a cute little girl be part of a vicious and evil organization plotting to rule the ninja world...?

"Boss, your shop is still open, you should sell steamed buns, right?" Zhixue asked the shop owner, resting her cheek on her hand.

The steamed bun shop owner stood there stunned for two seconds before quickly nodding his head.

"Then give me two baskets of meat buns, and remember to make them extra delicate, I'm actually quite free right now."

"Okay, okay..." The steamed bun shop owner placed the bundle behind the door, then secretly glanced at Zhixue before going into the back kitchen of the shop to take out a rolling pin and some ingredients.

While Zhixue was still waiting for the steamed buns to be served, within two minutes, two teams of ninjas wearing headbands from the Land of Frost ran over from a distance and surrounded her.
