Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Shimura Gengetsu continued as if he hadn't noticed, "The old man gave him two paths back then."

"The first rule is to pretend you know nothing, rebel with your people, and then fight them head-on. The winner takes all."

"Secondly, we can have him cooperate with a mysterious person, oh, also from your Uchiha clan, who calls himself Uchiha Madara, to kill everyone. This way, the clan's reputation won't be damaged, and most importantly... his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, can live safely in the village."

"So, in essence, Itachi Uchiha made a deal with your lives and the village."

The surviving members of the clan harbored even more hatred towards Itachi Uchiha.

Your brother's life is a life, but ours isn't?

"I'm saying all this just to let you understand the cause and effect of things. You are actually a group of abandoned people. Neither the Konoha high-ups nor Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku and other Uchiha high-ups have taken you into consideration."

Gengetsu Shimura jumped off the table and patted the head of a crying child.

"Stop crying, do you want revenge?"

"miss you!"

He was only eight or nine years old, but he had already awakened the Sharingan, and the hatred in his voice could freeze ice.

"Follow me, and you will have a chance to take revenge, but your only enemy can be Uchiha Itachi."

"As for Konoha, the mistakes made by the higher-ups were already sown during the time of the First Hokage, and the Second Hokage carried them out. Even if you want revenge, you will have no chance."

"I can promise you that after killing Itachi Uchiha, you can appear openly in the ninja world and restore the Uchiha clan's reputation, but at a price..."

"In the future, you, and your descendants, will all be under my command, Shimura Gengetsu."

"Those who agree, stand up now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the oldest survivor, an elderly woman, rose shakily to her feet.

“Lord Xuan Yue, I have lived enough. Even if I die that night, it will not matter.”

"But since I've survived, please let me see Itachi Uchiha die, otherwise... I won't die in peace!"

"Grandma Canghai..."

Uchiha Shisui was in tears.

(The picture shows Kurenai Yuhi).

Chapter 109 Kisame's Choice, Old Deng and Yellow Hair?

All forty-two Uchiha stood up, expressing their resolve through silence.

The child may not understand, but he knows that the murderer is Uchiha Itachi. The adults are reasonable, so they know that Shimura Gengetsu is right.

This is a messy situation, and trying to trace it back to an era far too distant is beyond their control.

But only Itachi Uchiha was both the executor and the beneficiary.

Killing him would at least comfort the spirits of the deceased clansmen and family members in heaven.

Shimura Gengetsu looked around.

Good, no one is lying, at least not yet.

Whether they will betray us in the future remains to be seen.

He placed the Flying Thunder God mark on everyone, which was also a means of sensing and tracking. As long as a traitor appeared, no matter where they fled, they would only face death.

Shimura Gengetsu crossed his fingers and used Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to surround everyone in the middle, activating the Flying Thunder God Formation.

After launching three consecutive attacks, the group traveled from the northwest of Konoha Village to the southeastern coastal port.

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but exclaim, "Xuan Yue, your Flying Thunder God Technique is getting more and more powerful."

Teleporting so many people at the same time, over such a long distance, requires a significant amount of chakra and a deep understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Shimura Gengetsu completely disregarded his praise, saying, "You don't need to flatter me anymore. I know how strong I am."

Uchiha Shisui's lips twitched.

"Let's go, I've already prepared the boat."

"Where are we going?" Shisui asked curiously, as he had no idea about Shimura Gengetsu's next plans.

"The Land of Snow."

Just as Shimura Gengetsu was leading his men to his rear base, far away in the Land of Water, Yakushi Kabuto was also diligently carrying out the tasks assigned by Shimura Gengetsu.

Kisame Hoshigaki is a member of the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu.

Born in the village known as the Village of Blood and Mist, every ninja who graduates from Kirigakure has their own merits.

Kisame was exceptionally talented, possessing not only a large amount of chakra but also being highly skilled in water-style techniques, swordsmanship, and taijutsu.

This led to him being spotted by one of the three lucky treasures, Suigetsu Hozuki, after graduation and being recruited into a special assassination squad.

After several missions, Kisame, who thought he was about to start a new life, suddenly realized that this place was no different from school.

At the ninja academy, he needed to kill his fellow ninjas to graduate.

After becoming a ninja, his missions mostly involve dealing with his own people. In order to protect important intelligence, he must kill those ninjas who betray the village, and ninjas who might be captured after being injured.

Over the years, Kisame's heart began to grow numb and lost.

Is this the inescapable fate of ninjas?

After completing another mission, Kisame returned to his home. His gaze swept across the table, and he paused for a moment before walking over, picking up the extra scroll, and looking at it. Then, expressionless, he summoned a shark and swallowed the scroll.

These unusual scrolls started appearing on his desk a few months ago.

At first, the words were just flattery and attempts to win him over, and Kisame thought they were just another spy from another village trying to recruit him.

But gradually, more and more discussions about the meaning and value of ninjas began to emerge, and Kisame was often moved after reading them.

But that's about it.

This time, the scroll actually said that it hoped he would serve a great man so that he could get rid of the pain of confusion.

Has it finally revealed its fangs?

Kisame gave a mocking smile and immediately forgot about it.

The next day, Kisame received a mission from Suigetsu Hobutsuki: to exchange information with Kumogakure.

It is important to note that the ninjas of Konoha are also watching them, so it is crucial to ensure that the information does not fall into the hands of the Konoha ninjas.

Kisame... is the supervisor and executor of everything.

Even though he carefully set traps and erased traces along the way, an accident still occurred as expected.

Ibiki Morino of Konoha had anticipated their retreat route and successfully ambushed them.

After a successful breakout, he reached the edge of a cliff. To ensure the safety of the mission, he once again raised his knife against his companions, expressionlessly plunging the ninja sword into their chests. He stopped in front of the last man.

She was a female ninja unlike most ninjas in the Land of Water; she could still laugh in this environment and even said she would treat him to a meal after the mission was over.

Knowing her fate, the female ninja did not resist, but simply watched as the stab wound pierced her body.

On his deathbed, the female ninja uttered a single sentence that struck Kisame to the very core of his being.

"Your life must have been very difficult..."

In the end, Kisame successfully returned to the village with the information and was rewarded.

The familiar scroll reappeared, and this time Kisame didn't throw it away after reading it.

Not long after, the Mizukage's direct subordinate ANBU told him that Suigetsu Hozuki had betrayed national intelligence and asked him to take care of his superior.

Kisame found it laughable that Suigetsu Hozuki kept using the village's name to make him kill his own companions, yet he himself had done such a thing.

The world is such a huge joke; everyone is so hypocritical, including him.

Kisame accepted the mission without hesitation, killed Suigetsu Hozuki, and also took the greatsword Samehada.

Just as he was about to leave the scene, an unexpected person appeared in his corridor.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kisame."

Although the person in front of him looked like a young boy, Kisame dared not be careless at all.

This is the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Shiki Karatachi. He has the body of a young boy but the age of an old man, and he even has grandchildren.

He is not only powerful himself, but also the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, and can perfectly control the power of the Tailed Beast.

"From now on, you will be my subordinate."

Kisame revealed his shark-like teeth, seemingly laughing, "Until you also annihilate me, Fourth Mizukage."

"I know what kind of person you are, and I also know that you have done countless dirty tasks for the village."

"But only after experiencing these things can you understand how illusory this world is."

That's right again...

Kisame lowered his head, his face calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

"Let me free you from this false suffering."

A masked man with long hair suddenly emerged from behind the Fourth Mizukage, and Kisame instinctively gripped his greatsword.

"Who are you."
