I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 182 Awakening Kaleidoscope

A gentle breeze stirred up dust as the shadow clone dissipated, revealing Uchiha Yoru's true form.

With the loss of medical ninjutsu to suppress melanin, the head of white hair visibly began to turn black again.

His black hair swayed in the wind, and the blue moon mark on his forehead and the two red demon marks on his cheeks had not yet faded, thus creating this appearance of a combination of Uchiha Yoru and Sesshomaru.

"Great Samehada!"

Upon seeing the Mist Ninja Greatsword, Sarutobi Umeko immediately revealed a greedy look. If she could obtain this greatsword, it would be an unparalleled honor.

All she saw was fame. Defeating the Mist Ninja and seizing the Samehada sword from a renowned ninja—wasn't climbing the ranks by stepping on her enemies' reputations the best achievement?

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the two of you to be so valuable."

When Sarutobi Umeko saw that Uchiha Yoru had taken out the Samehada sword in exchange without any hesitation, she immediately smiled in surprise.

Then, for some reason, she shook her head and sighed, sounding as if she were disappointed in his lack of ambition.

"Uchiha Yoru! I really misjudged you. I thought you would be a roadblock, but I never expected you to be such a hopeless case. I was even wary of you all along."

At this moment, Sarutobi Umeko sighed softly and said, "You, who come from a wealthy family, are still so naive, still having romantic love stories between rich young masters and commoner girls. I really feel like I've returned to when I was seven or eight years old in the ninja academy."

It has to be said that when Uchiha Yoru chose to hand over the Samehada sword for the sake of two women, she was immediately disappointed. The great threat she once thought of turned out to be just this.

As Uchiha Yoru watched the other party's slander and ridicule, his face was terrifyingly cold, but he did not hesitate at all, while inwardly he was sneering.

You idiot, using the story of a rich young master and an ugly duckling to mock people. Why can't it be the story of a rich young master and a princess?

"Tsk tsk, do you two want to know his real identity?"

As if she could already see the genius Uchiha Yoru being trampled under her feet, Sarutobi Umeko slapped Mei Terumi and Tsunade's cheeks with a mocking expression, and even pointed at the threatened figure in the distance.

"This is a genius from our Konoha, born into the Uchiha clan, the strongest clan in the ninja world, Uchiha Yoru! He infiltrated as a spy, so the person you all know is a fake, just a mask he needs to wear."

"But now it seems that this kid has taken the act seriously and is actually doing it for you."

As if victory was assured, Sarutobi Umeko calmly and slowly extended her hands, drawing two ninja swords from the backs of the Root ninjas beside her, and slowly pointing them at the two men.

"Uchiha Yoru, are you going to fight us to the death, or will you just surrender obediently?"

The two ninja swords drew closer and closer, and it was clear that they were about to touch the two men's hearts. In the silent wilderness, Uchiha Yoru, who had been indifferent in the distance, suddenly spoke up just as the sharp ninja swords were about to pierce his chest. At the same time, the two ninja swords stopped.

"What do you want to do!"

"Your hands!"

A similarly cold voice rang out, and Sarutobi Umeko stared at the other person with cold apprehension, "I heard you once performed a hand seal with one hand, then I want both of your hands."

"impossible!"

Despite being threatened, Uchiha Yoru maintained his aloof demeanor, as if he were always a high-ranking nobleman, and directly and without hesitation chose to refuse.

Upon hearing such a straightforward answer, Sarutobi Umeko shrugged at the two women and gave them a so-called smile. "It seems I overestimated your value. You're worth at most the price of the ninja sword Samehada. But for you lowly people, it's an honor."

"You don't need to test him anymore. Since you've already said that he's a spy who infiltrated us, it's all just an act."

At that moment, Mei Terumi suddenly spoke calmly, while Umeko Sarutobi looked surprised, then shook her head and said, "Did giving up give you the courage? Now your beautiful dream has come to an end? What a pity."

When faced with the threat, Uchiha Yoru unhesitatingly drew his greatsword Samehada, and Terumi Mei seemed to hesitate. At that moment, she even wanted to leave.

Similarly, when the other party refused without hesitation, she calmed down. At this moment, Mei Terumi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly and shake her head, saying, "As expected, let's just treat it as a play."

Just as Terumi Mei was secretly preparing to retaliate, the young Tsunade coldly watched everything. She had seen too much cruelty. This brat was able to exchange such precious spoils for people, which was beyond the expectations of most people, and even beyond her expectations.

Just as the two ninja swords, gleaming with a cold light, began to move slowly again, they suddenly came to an abrupt stop!

Tick-tock~

A gentle breeze swept across the empty fields, and drops of blood dripped onto the ground. The Root ninjas around them watched all this with indifference; their emotions had long been extinguished.

But Sarutobi Umeko looked astonished, staring at the distant figure in disbelief, and finally shook her head.

"Is this the pride of your Uchiha clan? Your words are tough enough, but your actions betray your words. I never expected you to actually do this. Honestly, I admire you!"

At this moment, Sarutobi Umeko put aside her grudges and sighed with heartfelt admiration, "You are really different. You remind me of Sakumo Hatake and Orochimaru."

On the wild field, Uchiha Yoru coldly stared at everyone, his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes already visible in his sockets. Each of his hands pierced a kunai, and blood dripped continuously onto the ground.

His calm demeanor made his hands seem not to belong to him. The fact that both hands were injured meant that he could no longer form hand seals at will, which greatly reduced his combat power.

"White Fang chose suicide under public pressure, Orochimaru remained indifferent and chose to stand by coldly. You're just like them, the same kind of person. How can I put it? A hero!"

Heroes are admirable, even Sarutobi Umeko couldn't help but sigh, but she shook her head and said, "Heroes may be admirable, but I can only say that there are too many heroes in this world, and the shadow of a village cannot be a hero."

"The shadow of a village requires awareness from multiple perspectives, and even the decision to sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority when necessary."

Faced with Sarutobi Umeko's long and emotional speech, Uchiha Yoru said coldly with a blank expression, "Using your Root methods to erase their memories, just as you said, they're nothing but two lowly commoners."

The cold voice spoke sarcastic words, but at that moment both Mei Terumi and Tsunade were stunned.

Both pairs of eyes stared blankly at the figure in the distance, the kunai piercing through their palms, and blood dripping continuously.

This brat/Uchiha has gone mad! He's actually doing this for real!

They both knew each other's identities from the beginning, so they viewed everything from the calm perspective of bystanders, even though some things did move them and they experienced different feelings.

But all of this is based on their perspective as bystanders!

But in the current situation, it's clear that this kid is involved! And he's genuinely invested!

However, at this moment, Uchiha Yoruichi's three-tomoe Sharingan kept scanning her surroundings to observe the situation, and her hands were really in pain.

He was an observer from the very beginning, but Mei Terumi and Tsunade thought they were the only observers. Little did they know that all three of them were observers from the start.

The difference is that Mei Terumi and Tsunade believe that Yoru Uchiha is the one in control.

This sudden situation stunned them, as if it were pulling them from the sidelines into the game.

After a long and eloquent speech, Sarutobi Umeko strolled around casually, as if giving a lecture. When she finished, she showed genuine admiration.

"Uchiha Yoru, you are a hero, but what the village lacks right now is not a hero, but a Hokage! So I hope you can understand."

"Rest in peace. Don't worry, I will bury them with you, so that you can live out your fairytale dreams of a noblewoman and a commoner girl in the underworld."

At this point, Sarutobi Umeko turned to look at the two women with a complex expression, "As women, you should be the happiest people at this moment."

After saying that, Sarutobi Umeko slowly raised the two ninja swords in her hands again. When Uchiha Yoru saw this scene from a distance, his cold expression finally changed.

"What do you want!"

After Uchiha Yoru's voice came again, Sarutobi Umeko couldn't help but turn her head and shake her head, saying, "What an arrogant clan. Even though you look so disheveled right now, I can still feel that you are still the high and mighty Uchiha. What a pity."

"Your disappearance is exactly what I need."

She casually swung out two ninja swords, two cold lights aimed straight at Mei Terumi and the young Tsunade's hearts, clearly intending to kill them with one blow.

As she threw her ninja sword, Sarutobi Umeko calmly said, "Kill Uchiha Yoru."

Swoosh~

One after another, the figures at the base of the sword flew past the target, while kunai and shuriken were thrown at the same time.

At this moment, both sides faced the crisis of death. Uchiha Yoru was facing a large number of shuriken thrown by the Root members.

Mei Terumi and Tsunade faced two sharp ninja swords.

Faced with this life-or-death crisis, everyone treated them like ordinary people. Just as the two women were about to use their chakra to break the ropes and unleash their power, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in their sight. The two women's pupils shrank and they were stunned.

His two three-tomoe Sharingan eyes had merged into one, forming a shuriken, the Mangekyou Sharingan, while blood slowly flowed from his other eye under Uchiha Yoru's cold gaze. His other three-tomoe Sharingan had evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Eye Technique: Takamagahara

Blood splattered as a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, two ninja swords emerging from his chest, and hot, scalding blood splattered onto their faces.

At this moment, Tsunade and Mei Terumi were both stunned, their eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Mei Terumi stared at the scene in disbelief, the blood on her cheek slowly flowing into the corner of her mouth. It was warm; it was real!

When Tsunade was splashed with blood, although she was now colorblind and the blood appeared black, the warmth on her cheek and the taste of the blood shocked her so much that a few drops even got into the corner of her mouth. The taste of the blood directly assaulted her taste buds.

"not good!"

Faced with the figure that suddenly appeared and blocked the two women, Sarutobi Umeko's expression changed drastically. At the same time, the Root ninjas who had reacted also hurriedly turned around to help.

In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Yoru's figure vanished from everyone's sight, and when he reappeared, he was standing in front of the two women.

At this moment, in the eyes of the two women, the Sharingan that appeared in Uchiha Yoruichi's pupils was full of bewitching beauty, and a line of bloody tears flowed from his right eye, the blood vessels looking ferocious.

"Kakuzu!"

In an instant, Uchiha Yoru grabbed the two women and shouted, and a black shadow appeared on the battlefield.

Fire Release: Head Carving

Wind Release: Pressure Damage

In an instant, the two ninjutsu combined with Kakuzu's surging chakra, and a gale swept in, carrying flames like a hurricane formed from fire.

Rumble~

Under the indiscriminate, all-encompassing attack, flames directly engulfed a large area. The Root ninjas hurriedly dodged, while Uchiha Yoru was also hit.

After unleashing his ninjutsu, Kakuzu narrowed his eyes and looked towards the center of the flames in the distance.

With a violent cough, blood spurted from his mouth again, and a huge black rib skeleton appeared in the burning flames.

Susanoh

Mei Terumi and Tsunade witnessed everything in the instant the flames struck. As Yoru Uchiha raised his head, his Sharingan eyes spun rapidly, and as two lines of bloody tears flowed down, the Susanoo defense system appeared around them.

Mei Terumi stared in shock at the scene before her—an unknown ninjutsu and those eyes! Tsunade, however, recognized the ninjutsu. Her pupils dilated in shock as she looked at the two pairs of bloodied, menacing Mangekyou Sharingan. She had just witnessed everything!

The kaleidoscope was opened by them!

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he coughed violently. At that moment, Uchiha Yoru bit off the kunai in both of his hands with his teeth, and then, with the blood still on his hands, he struggled to form hand seals.

Although the hand was pierced, this injury affected the hand seals, but it did not mean that the hand seals could not be formed.

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei

Spiritual Arts

With a bang, a wisp of white smoke from a summoning beast flashed, followed by the cry of an eagle that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. At the same time, the Root ninjas who were hiding in the distance from the vast range of this ninjutsu all changed their expressions.

Sarutobi Umeko exclaimed in alarm and anger, "Oh no! Stop this brat!"

I thought I was sitting ducks, but I never expected that I'd escape. I have to get rid of this brat.

Suddenly, an eagle soared into the sky amidst the flames, while simultaneously, a barrage of ninjutsu and shuriken-exploding tags rained down from all directions.

Fire Release...

Lightning Release...

Rumble~

Amidst the dazzling ninjutsu, explosive tags, and the booming sounds of various hidden weapons, a thick cloud of smoke rose in the air, followed by a bright eagle's cry that pierced through the smoke.

The eagle carried Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade, and Mei Terumi on its back, soaring straight into the sky. The powerful Susanoo directly protected the summoned beasts, preventing them from being harmed by various ninjutsu.

"Damn it! Chase after them!"

Watching the fleeing figure, Sarutobi Umeko roared furiously, "The opponent is already seriously injured and can't get far! Chase after them!"

Kakuzu's shadow had long since vanished from the battlefield. The moment he saw his master jump out, he fled. It must be said that there is truth to the saying "old but not dead is a thief."

Above, a fierce wind howled, blood trickled from the corner of Uchiha Yoru's mouth, and the blood vessels in his Mangekyou Sharingan were clearly visible, a result of overuse of his eye technique.

"Master Ye."

After the summoning beast, the eagle, soared high in the sky, it respectfully spoke. At this moment, Uchiha Yoru was breathing heavily, each breath bringing him pain.

"Don't stop, keep flying east."

He slumped half-kneeling on the spirit beast, while his hands tightly gripped the waists of the two people, as if afraid that the two ordinary people would fall from the sky.

Please support me.
