Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 421 Personally

"Lord Danzo, the sensory unit, the interception unit, the hunting unit... are all ready!"

In the dark of night, in a primeval and mysterious forest.

At this moment, a group of more than two hundred people moved quietly. They were divided into several teams, each wearing a hood and animal mask to conceal their faces, revealing only their cold eyes.

Stepping over fallen leaves and withered branches, we silently traversed the forest.

The night wind rustled through the leaves, stirring their clothes and hoods, making them appear like ghosts in the darkness, quiet and eerie. Their steps were precise and powerful, moving in unison like machines, making the whole group seem even colder and more menacing.

They are a well-trained team, and every member has experienced countless battles and trials.

"Follow that group ahead!"

Upon receiving the report from his subordinates, Danzo remained remarkably calm, his pace unchanged, still unhurried.

"yes!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Danzo turned his gaze to the other ninjas beside him and asked them questions.

"Any news coming in from the battle in the Mist Ninja area?"

Tonight's operation involves a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and he doesn't trust his subordinates, so he came to command it personally.

It's not that I'm worried these people will do bad things or hide the Mangekyou Sharingan, but rather that I'm worried they won't be able to keep these precious eyes from that 'Uchiha Madara'.

He didn't think so. He believed the other party would still keep their promise to him after learning about the kaleidoscope.

"According to the communications team's report, fierce fighting is still ongoing over there. Uchiha Shisui has stayed behind alone to hold off the elite Kirigakure troops!"

"This was expected!"

Danzo was not surprised at all that Shisui would stay behind to snipe the enemy so that his teammates could escape.

As the person in Konoha who is most hostile to the Uchiha, he is very clear about the Uchiha's way of doing things.

They all always think they are strong and like to solve everything themselves, just like this time.

"Shisui is already surrounded, I'm worried about him..."

"Don't worry, with the Mangekyou Sharingan, these Mist Ninjas can't possibly trap him!"

His subordinates were too young and didn't know the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. They were just a group of Kirigakure ninja who had come ashore. They were no match for Shisui.

"And the Kirigakure negotiation team is on its way to the battlefield!"

Seeing that the boss was not worried about Zhi Shui's safety, the subordinate with the eagle-faced mask continued to report.

"Ignore them. If they're still alive afterward, just kill them off!"

It doesn't matter whether he kills them off or throws them into the lab as consumables; they're not worth his time.

"Just follow the Konoha squad ahead, and we'll lie in wait behind them!"

Shisui's teammates had just died, and now these teammates were all his acquaintances. Shisui would not only hold off the elite Kirigakure troops, but he would also reunite with them afterward.

All of this was part of his plan.

"Arrange for personnel to keep an eye on the elite troops of the Mist Ninja after Shisui breaks through."

Now that these Mist Ninja have come to the Land of Fire, he doesn't intend to let them leave alive. As for whether 'Uchiha Madara' will have any objections...

The two sides are not staunch allies; they are merely using each other, so there's no need for them to worry about such things.

"Shouldn't we... prioritize first?" A subordinate wearing a dog-face mask seemed hesitant. "I'm worried that this will distract us and we'll end up failing on both fronts!"

This mission has mobilized all of Root's elite forces. If something goes wrong while we're dealing with these Mist Ninja, it could cause unforeseen circumstances.

After returning, none of them who participated in the mission fared well.

"It's not a big problem. Those Mist Ninja shouldn't give up on the mission easily. They'll definitely keep chasing after Shisui."

Danzo paused, holding his cane. He knew the Mist Ninja's ways; they wouldn't easily give up on their goals. However, he also believed that Shisui, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, would have a way to shake them off.

"Let's deal with Shisui first, then we can go after those Mist Ninja!"

Things still need to be prioritized. Compared to Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, a few Mist Ninjas are nothing to mention.

What he's worried about now is that 'Uchiha Madara'. If the other party finds out the secret in Shisui's eyes, will he try to take those Mangekyou Sharingan from him?

This is one of the reasons why he brought so many people with him.

Hanging far behind Ishii and his group, Danzo received intelligence gathered by his subordinates while pondering his next move.

One Uchiha Shisui alone was far from enough to satisfy his appetite.

With the Sharingan in the other party's eyes, he would have the power to make a move against the Uchiha clan. At that time, he would have a large number of Sharingan to squander.

With Izanagi, what is there that he can't do?

……

"Is this the power of the Uchiha clan?"

Surrounded by a green mist, Mei Terumi stared wide-eyed as she carefully examined the chakra skeleton surrounding Shisui, who was standing opposite her.

This is the thing that caught them off guard. If I hadn't used my ninjutsu to block it in time, my companion would probably be a corpse by now.

"It really is a trump card that combines offense and defense!"

Looking at the bone that enveloped the other's body, and recalling the skeletal arm that the other had just manifested, it was not only able to defend against his acid mist, but also had excellent strength, speed, and attack power.

"It's because your acid mist is so troublesome; without this eye technique, I simply can't fight you for long!"

These acidic mists are too troublesome; the chakra on the body's surface alone cannot withstand them for long.

And your eyes, if exposed to this acidic fumes for a long time, could very well be ruined.

"A pupil technique!" Controlling a stream of water to send her companion out of the acid mist's range, Mei Terumi continued, "Even if you use your trump card, I won't let you escape. Forget about it!"

Her injured companion was unable to continue in the acid mist, but she had many teammates, and as soon as one was missing, someone else immediately took his place.

"It seems... you won't let me leave here unless I show you some real skills!"

Looking at the acidic mist around him and feeling the depletion of his pupil power, Shisui felt he still had to go all out.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get rid of this woman, or the Mist Ninja surrounding them.
