Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 426 Bastard

"Because you're an Uchiha!"

Danzo, who was on the outer edge of the encirclement, did not stand in front of Shisui. He looked at Shisui, who had a puzzled and desperate expression on his face, and gave a cold order.

"Go! Be careful not to hurt his eyes!"

Madara Uchiha was nearby, and there were still Kirigakure ninjas to be eliminated, so Danzo had no desire to chat with Shisui.

"yes!"

A unified response followed, and then countless kunai, shuriken, and ninjutsu attacked Shisui, but all of these attacks skillfully avoided Shisui's head.

……

"Captain Mei Terumi, there seems to be some movement over there!"

Following behind Bitao and Qing, the Mist Ninja, who were being led by Shisui's shadow clones for a stroll in the forest, all looked up after hearing the sound of exploding tags.

It seemed as if it wanted to see through the dense forest and the deep night to see what was happening in the distance.

"Qing, can you see that?"

"Sorry, the distance is beyond the range of an eye roll~"

Just as the explosion was heard, Qing had already used his Byakugan to scout the area, but unfortunately, he found nothing except for the endless forest.

"Let's go check that out!" Having made the decision, Mei Terumi reminded everyone, "Be careful. We're in the Land of Fire; whoever's there is our enemy!"

Instead of staying here, following behind Bitao and Qing like a headless fly, wandering around in the deep forest, we should see who is fighting with explosive tags.

However, she did not rush to check the situation rashly, but instead rearranged the formation to deal with any unexpected situations.

……

"We can't hold on much longer!"

He turned around, swung his sword to block the hidden weapon that attacked from behind, felt the less than 2 layers of chakra left in his body, and felt the stinging and exhaustion in his eyes that went straight to his brain.

Shisui knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

Having just fought a fierce battle with the Mist Ninja, and then breaking through the encirclement of a large number of Konoha Anbu members, he was exhausted.

After briefly hindering the pursuers behind him, Shisui leaped away from his original spot, skimming the ground. Through his Sharingan, he saw the figure flanking him from the side.

He gave a wry smile, then pulled out another fist-sized object from his ninja tool bag and smashed it on the ground, generating a large amount of smoke to obscure his figure.

Whoosh whoosh!

His response was a barrage of shuriken.

"Split up and chase them!"

Looking at the dozen or so Shi Shui figures rushing out of the smoke in front of him, the pursuers, in groups of three, each group following one of the clones, chased after them.

"It really is... a deeply ingrained problem!"

Even with Shisui's good temper, he couldn't help but curse when faced with so many 'companions' chasing him.

However, he quickly swallowed his complaints, because there were now about twenty pursuers behind him.

Moreover, the number of people is constantly increasing.

"It seems our only chance of escape this time lies with those Mist Ninja!"

He glanced at the dark forest in front of him.

One of the main reasons he used the explosive tag was to attract the attention of the Kirigakure ninja.

With the addition of this force, he might have a chance to escape the pursuit of these Root ninjas in the chaos.

"Finally, I've met you all!"

After being chased by the Anbu for five or six kilometers, Shisui saw several faint blue chakra lights flashing and disappearing in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shisui led the large group of pursuers behind him and followed the figures of these chakra.

"Damn it!"

Mei Terumi glanced back at the large-scale Konoha Anbu force behind her and, without hesitation, ordered the Kirigakure ninja behind her to retreat.

Although these men were elite, they were still somewhat outmatched when facing Konoha's large Anbu force.

Furthermore, she suspected that this was a conspiracy by the Fourth Mizukage.

Are those people still behind us?

Looking at Ao beside her, Mei Terumi's face darkened, and her mood plummeted to its lowest point.

"Yes!"

"The target of those Konoha Anbu members behind us is clearly Uchiha Shisui, but... we can't shake him off!"

After carefully observing the situation behind him, Ao reported to his superior, "Those Konoha ninjas seem to... also have ill intentions towards us!"

"Prepare for a large-scale Mist Ninja Technique!"

Mei Terumi deeply regretted bringing her subordinates to check the situation; otherwise, she wouldn't be facing this predicament now.

Especially when her gaze fell upon Uchiha Shisui, who was following her for no more than a hundred meters, it seemed as if boiling lava was churning in her eyes.

That bastard, he even smiled back when he felt her gaze, he's absolutely despicable.

Although she took precautions after being reminded by Ao, she tried to avoid Shisui and the Konoha ninja.

But this guy stuck to them like a leech, and without saying a word, he led those Konoha ninjas and crashed into their ranks.

There's no escaping it.

"And one more thing!" After a moment's thought, Mei Terumi said gravely, "Tell them to prepare for a split-up and breakout!"

If possible, she would never order the team to split up, but with Uchiha Shisui present, the Konoha ninjas would always follow behind them.

Rather than be used by the other side, she preferred to disperse her subordinates. This might make it more difficult to face Konoha's pursuit later, but more people could return to Kirigakure.

"yes!"

"Lord Danzo, those Mist Ninja have split up their forces!"

The pitch-black night, coupled with the pervasive fog, reduced visibility in the entire forest to less than ten meters.

However, Danzo's men still managed to pinpoint their superior.

"Keep an eye on Uchiha Shisui, he's our primary target... As for those Kirigakure ninja... just send a team to follow them!"

Danzo frowned and continued to ask.

"How's the sensory unit doing? Have they lost track of Uchiha Shisui?"

The current situation was something he hadn't anticipated.

In his original plan, Shisui would fall into his trap and have no chance to break out. They could overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

However, he did not expect that the other party would be so decisive. As soon as they saw him, they immediately activated Susanoo and broke through their encirclement.

Then he infiltrated the Mist Ninja's ranks.

This caused them considerable trouble in their pursuit.

"Tell those sensory units that if Uchiha Shisui escapes their pursuit, they don't need to return to Konoha!"

The darkness, the mist, the ninja ninja, and the Uchiha Madara who had not yet shown his face all brought unpredictable factors to his actions.

Did they give Shisui too much screen time?
