Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 413 How about we all defect!

"What else can we do? Just let it be."

Rolling her eyes, Manyue picked up the tea beside her and gulped it down in one go.

After talking so much, and feeling anxious and stressed, he needed to drink some water.

"Ming, what about Elder Yuan Shi..."

After taking a sip of water, Man Yue turned her gaze to Mei Terumi, who was staring blankly at the scenery on the dock outside.

He wanted to find out some information about Elder Yuan Shi's movements from her.

"Elder Yuan doesn't have any good solutions either!"

Upon hearing Mangetsu's question, Terumi Mei withdrew her gaze and slowly replied.

The news she received from the elders was even more brutal than what Man Yue and the others knew.

The village is ready, just waiting for a bloodline family to jump out and resist, so that they can eliminate these families one by one in the name of suppressing the rebellion.

"Full Moon, Sea Dipper, the only advice Master Yuan gave us was to be patient!"

There was nothing the master could do either. Although he had a great reputation in Kirigakure, he was not the Mizukage after all.

With the cooperation of several elders who were completely obedient to the Fourth Hokage, he could only watch helplessly as the Fourth Hokage eradicated the bloodline families in the village one by one.

She had a vague feeling that the village elders and the Fourth Mizukage were all acting strangely.

The entire Hidden Mist Village exuded an eerie atmosphere.

"Endure! How can we endure? The Fourth Hokage's blade is already at our throats. If we continue to endure, only death awaits us!"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, both Hozuki Mangetsu and Kaguya Kaito's eyes filled with despair.

Not just the two of them, but everyone in the cabin wore a sorrowful expression.

Most of them even believed that this mission was not to kill Uchiha Shisui at all, but to send them to their deaths in the Land of Fire.

The village plans to use Konoha to wipe out all these bloodstained ninjas.

"Or... should we just defect?"

After a long silence, some brilliant person suddenly uttered a sentence that brought a renewed sparkle to the eyes of many of the lifeless men.

It seems that compared to fighting the Fourth Mizukage to the death and ending up with no remains, this is a very good choice.

"But... if we defect, our people will be... and we'll face pursuit from the Dark Guard afterwards!"

This is something that defectors must face. Every single one of them is a carefully selected individual from the Mist Ninja.

In the village, everyone has something they can't bear to part with.

"Although defecting will lead to being hunted down by the Dark Guard, at least it gives me a chance to save my life."

Even among the carefully selected personnel, there are still some ruthless individuals who are very clear about whether it's a matter of everyone dying together or saving their own lives.

Some of them even had wildly unrealistic ideas.

"As long as I'm alive, and given enough time, I can even start a new family!"

"No, that would mean the end for all our families in the village. Fourth Generation won't be lenient with them; he's waiting for us to hand over our dirty laundry!"

"At least this way we can guarantee our own survival!"

'It really is... the morale of the troops is low!'

Looking at her subordinates with their shifty eyes, Mei Terumi felt a headache coming on. Leading this group of guys, she wanted to fight the famous 'Shisui of the Flicker Hand' to the death. Even with an overwhelming numerical advantage, she still wasn't very confident.

"Alright, this isn't our own home, and there are outsiders here. Don't talk nonsense!"

When talking about outsiders, Mei Terumi also looked at a tall, thin, black-haired man with an eye patch next to her.

As Mei Terumi finished speaking, the bloodstained ninjas in the room seemed to realize only then that there was another non-bloodstained ninja in the cabin.

Everyone turned their gaze to a figure standing in the corner, sweat beading on his forehead.

'I hope these guys won't kill me to silence me!'

Hearing so many rebellious and treasonous words, and being stared at by so many people, Qing was now in a panic.

He wanted to say that he was one of them, possessing the Hyuga clan's Byakugan and having the same bloodline limit as them; they were all in the same boat.

However, being rational, he didn't utter a single word.

"Qing...you guys are it!"

Mei Terumi seemed more concerned about the Byakugan ninja and thoughtfully inquired about his condition.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. They're just talking; they won't actually do anything about it!"

"What did you say? Did something just happen here?"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's voice, Ao immediately stated that she had not heard anything and acted very humbly in front of Mei Terumi.

At the same time, he secretly decided that he must latch onto the other party's coattails during this mission.

Otherwise, before the Fourth Hokage could even deal with these guys' families, they would have been killed by them first. The Mist Ninja showed no mercy when killing their own comrades.

Even if he returned to Kirigakure, it would be the same.

"Let's talk about Uchiha Shisui first!"

"You've dealt with him before, tell us about him!"

Mei Terumi was quite satisfied with Ao's attitude; he was a perceptive guy. Whether or not to eliminate him in this mission would depend on his performance.

"Yes, sir!"

Qing did not hesitate at all. Even though these bloodline families were already on the verge of collapse, he did not look down on them in the slightest. He immediately put himself in a very low position.

"Uchiha Shisui's strength is immense and he has no weaknesses!"

"Skilled in genjutsu, body flickering jutsu, fire-style ninjutsu, and Uchiha-style swordsmanship, he is a near-perfect ninja!"

"Especially their Sharingan genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique, they're terrifying!"

"A flawless ninja with no weaknesses?"

"Qing, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

One of the guys, who clearly hadn't witnessed the power of the Uchiha clan, couldn't help but speak up and refute Ao's exaggerated claims.

According to Qing, wouldn't this Uchiha Shisui be proficient in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu?

"No, I'm not exaggerating. Their Sharingan genjutsu and the Uchiha clan's fire-style ninjutsu are both very troublesome. Furthermore, their excellent eye techniques, combined with their body sleight of hand and swordsmanship, and their lack of weaknesses in taijutsu, make them a very difficult enemy to deal with!"

Faced with his companion's doubts, Qing was not angry, but instead began to explain Shisui's strength point by point.
